The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

As night fell, the city's neon lights came on. Li Ran sat in the unlit room. The dim light from the window cast a hazy glow over her, and the bright light from the phone screen set off her fair face.

Li Ran took another look at the chat box, then threw his phone on the sofa and stared out the window in a daze.

She had a bad feeling that she was serious about Zhou Liu.

Zhou Liu hadn't replied to her message for the whole day. The last time he replied was when Li Ran said good morning to him. Li Ran had been checking his phone all day to see if Zhou Liu had replied. At this moment, she couldn't help but curse, "Stupid man, since you are too busy to reply to messages, I will ignore you and let you experience the anxiety of waiting! Humph!"

After saying that, Li Ran punched the sofa angrily.

At this time, Li Ci walked in from the door. He was taking off his suit jacket when he saw this scene and asked with a smile: "Why is the light off? Who made you angry again?"

Li Ran looked at Li Ci with resentment, "Humph, you only know how to tease me."

Li Ci threw his coat into the laundry basket, changed into slippers, turned on the light and walked in. He took the braised pork trotters that he had bought for Li Ran, opened the disposable glove bag and handed it to her. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's eat first. I'm going to take a shower."

Li Ran looked at the coat in the laundry basket and asked, "Didn't you just change your clothes before going out this afternoon? How come it got dirty so quickly?"

Li Ci said, “I went to the hospital.”

Li Ci has the habit of changing clothes and taking a shower after going to the hospital. Even the people around him are required to change clothes and take a shower. Therefore, no matter how lazy Li Ran is, every time he comes back from the hospital, he will take a shower first and then lie on the sofa.

After Li Ran put on gloves and started eating the pig's trotter, he said in a muffled voice: "The housekeeper will be on vacation tomorrow, so you have to wash the clothes yourself."

Li Ci did not respond. When he came out again, Li Ran had already eaten up the pig's trotter, leaving only the bones scattered on the coffee table.

Li Ci is a mysophobia person. If someone dirty his coffee table, he will definitely get angry. He can only tolerate Li Ran.

He walked over and tidied the coffee table, then sat down next to Li Ran. This girl had a good appetite recently and her figure had obviously become plumper.

"Who were you angry with just now?"

"It's all because of Zhou Liu. He didn't reply to my message all day." Li Ci was about to speak, but Li Ran said, "If you want to reason with me, then don't say anything. I'm so annoyed now. The last thing I want to hear is reason."

Li Ci swallowed his words and said, "Since you are so angry, just delete his account."

Li Ran was unwilling to accept this, so he had to pout and explain for Zhou Liu, "No need, he's not that bad, he's just too busy, and I heard that he's living with his friends recently, and he has to go back to compete with his friends after get off work every day."

"Competition? Competition for what?"

Li Ran said dissatisfiedly: "He must be playing games and was too lazy to reply to me, so he found an excuse to push me away."

Li Ci didn't say anything, thinking in his heart that the friend Zhou Liu mentioned, could it be Mo Shu who was taken away to see the technology exhibition that day?

Now everyone is looking for Mo Shu, but Mo Shu is missing. Could he be hidden by Zhou Liu?

Li Ci suddenly looked at Li Ran sinisterly, "There is no free lunch in the world. Since you ate the pig's trotters I bought for you, shouldn't you do me a favor?"

Li Ran frowned, having a bad feeling in her heart. Every time Li Ci asked her to do something, he had this gloomy expression!

Li Ran's face suddenly turned bitter, "What do you want to do?"

Li Ci smiled and said, "It's not a bother. I just want you to have dinner with Zhou Liu and ask for me something."

Li Ran was surprised and asked, "What is there in Zhou Liu that interests you?"

Li Ci flicked Li Ran's forehead and said, "You chat with Zhou Liu every day, but you don't even know that he is a computer genius. It is said that the defense code he wrote is the strongest defense system. As soon as he graduates, he will be a talent that all major companies will compete for. How can I not be interested in such a talent?"

Li Ran frowned, "But he is now an employee of Yuanan Software Company."

"So I want you to negotiate with him. Help me poach him."

Li Ran is very good at communication and negotiation. After marrying Gao Shan, she helped Gao Dan negotiate a lot of orders. In addition, with the relationship between Zhou Liu and Li Ran, if Li Ran makes a move, he can definitely poach Zhou Liu to Li Ci's company.

Li Ran looked at Li Ci suspiciously. She had never asked her uncle what he did, but this time she suddenly became curious. "Uncle, I want to know how many companies you have."

After Li Ci rubbed Li Ran's head and ruffled her hair, Li Ran frowned in dissatisfaction and avoided his hand.

Li Ci asked: "Why are you suddenly interested in this? You never asked before."

Li Ran had no expression on his face, but his tone was very serious. "I'm just curious. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. But uncle, I have to remind you that because of my parents, you have to restrain yourself in the business world. I always feel that what you are doing is becoming more and more dangerous."

Li Ci did not dwell on this question any more, but just said jokingly: "You have grown up and know how to care about your uncle. Don't worry, no matter what I do, it will not affect you. Now you know best what benefits Zhou Liu can get. As long as you help me poach him, any conditions are acceptable."

Li Ran grew up in a prominent family and was very good at reading people's minds. Li Ci didn't want to mention it, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just joked, "I'm afraid you'll go bankrupt if I negotiate like this."

"If you can really bankrupt me, that would be amazing."

Because of this, Li Ran became more and more suspicious. She felt that Li Ci seemed to have developed a growing business power without the knowledge of his family...

Li Ran originally planned to ask Zhou Liu out the next day, but before she could implement her plan, she received an invitation to a banquet.

In the morning, the invitation was sent to all the families in the business community of City A, which was enough to show how grand this banquet was.

The host of this banquet turned out to be the Song family.

The Song family is considered a very low-key family in City A. They never attend banquets or hold banquets. The last banquet they held was two years ago when Song Shi went abroad. Judging from the situation at the time, the Song family held this banquet to congratulate Song Shi on his return to China.

The Song family's banquets should not be underestimated. In addition to big names in the business world, celebrities from the academic and political circles will also attend, which is enough to show the Song family's status in the upper class.

This banquet was different from the banquet at the ancestral home and the opening party of the hospital. It was much more grand than any previous banquet. Even the banquet held when Song Shi went abroad two years ago was not so grand. The last time City A had such a grand banquet was five years ago when Shi Xiao officially joined the Shi Group.

For a time, everyone was talking about this banquet and making various speculations. The speculation reported by the media was that the Song family wanted to enter the business world and pave the way for Song Shi, the only daughter of the Song family.

Although the Song family's invitation said it was three days later, the banquet of a large family was no small matter and usually required several days of preparation in advance. Dresses needed to be ordered in advance, makeup needed to be tried in advance, etc. Therefore, Li Ran had no time to ask Zhou Liu out for the next two days.

The invitation received by the Shi family invited everyone in the Shi family, which means that in addition to Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu, Shi Lu, Shi Yi and Shi Bin would also attend.

In Shi Xiao's office, Yuan Shu put down the invitation. She glanced at Shi Xiao and understood what he meant.

Yuan Shu said: "This banquet is too unexpected. From the outside world's perspective, our relationship is already very tense. If we go together now, our identities might be exposed."
