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

When Li Ci and Li Ran came back from the banquet, Li Ran kicked off her high heels, plopped down on the sofa, and complained weakly, "The venue is great, we used the best ingredients, and cooked the most expensive dishes, but in the end no one appreciated them. This kind of socializing is a waste of energy. I really hope that other families won't hold banquets anymore in the future."

Li Ci said absentmindedly: "Don't go to such a banquet again. Just rest at home for a few days."

Li Ran sat up and said, "No, I still have to go. Wouldn't it be more tiring for you to go alone without me?"

Li Ci smiled bitterly, but was still thinking about other things.

Li Ran didn't notice it at all and continued talking, "Uncle, don't you think Jiang Chen looked unhappy when Mr. Song announced his engagement just now?"

"Really?" Li Ci frowned. It didn't matter whether Jiang Chen was happy or not. What mattered was that Mr. Song recognized him. This was the biggest problem.

Li Ran finally realized that Li Ci had something on her mind, but it seemed he couldn't tell her yet, so he stopped talking and went back to his room to sleep.

Li Ci glanced at Li Ran's closed door upstairs. After making sure that she had gone back, Li Ci went to the study and called Shi Xiao.

After the phone rang a few times, Shi Xiao answered it.

Shi Xiao's voice didn't sound the least bit surprised. He must have expected this call a long time ago. "I've been waiting for this call for a long time."

Li Ci's face was solemn. It seemed that Shi Xiao had the same idea as him, so Li Ci said straight to the point: "Since we have the same goal, why don't we talk about it?"

Some things cannot be communicated over the phone, so Shi Xiao said, "The Tianzhidian Winery changed hands after closing down, and it has just reopened. How about we go there to check out the wine? See you in thirty minutes."

Although the owner has changed, the name of the bar has not changed and it is still very lively inside, with young people dancing on the dance floor and waiters constantly shuttling among the crowd.

However, changes have taken place inside the Summit of the Sky. The second floor, which was originally used only by the BOSS, is now fully open and has been turned into a private room.

At this time, the guests at the table upstairs left, so Shi Xiao and Li Ci sat in this booth.

They ordered some wine but neither of them drank a sip.

Not only did the two of them not drink, they didn't even talk. They just sat there quietly, looking at the dance floor.

Sitting here, they suddenly had a familiar feeling.

It was here that two influential figures in the business community of City A negotiated their first collaboration.

They were drinking in the bar in the center of the stage. The music on the stage was deafening, but Shi Xiao and Li Ci remembered everything they said clearly.

Although the environment was noisy, Shi Xiao could still hear Li Ci's words clearly, "Shi Xiao, I have a political background, and you also have influence in the business world. If we work together, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in City A!"

As it turned out, the two of them really did what they said.

They were once young men full of vigor and vitality, but now they have developed into factions. As time goes by, they have changed so fast that they have long forgotten their original intentions.

This time when they sat here again, they were no longer as unscrupulous as before. Now they took every step carefully and could no longer trust their backs to each other.

Shi Xiao said: "I don't care what you can do behind my back these years, but there is one thing I must know."

Li Ci certainly knew what he was asking. He stared into Shi Xiao's dark eyes and said seriously, "I had no involvement with what happened between you and Yuan Shu that night! Although we have only been working together for a few years, I am sure of one thing. I will not work with Jiang Chen. My sister and brother-in-law are both politicians. I cannot have anything to do with the underworld. This is my principle."

Shi Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what Li Ci had done behind his back, but he couldn't tolerate Li Ci betraying him and working with Jiang Chen.

If Li Ci disregards his own status and cooperates with Jiang Chen, it means that he has given up his principles. If a person can give up his bottom line, then sooner or later, he will give up their years of cooperation.

Cooperating with such people will only bring trouble to yourself.

After confirming that Li Ci had not changed over the years, Shi Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "We can cooperate, but you have to show some sincerity."

Li Ci said, "I think you have investigated the forces behind me very clearly. If you want to see my sincerity, Zhao Tian is my greatest sincerity. Since he has become your ambassador, I promise that nothing will happen. Is that sincere enough?"

The brand spokesperson represents the image of the entire website. If there is a problem with the spokesperson, Shi Xiao’s video website will definitely be the first to be affected.

This was also a problem that both Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao were worried about. At that time, Yuan Shu suggested that they find another spokesperson as a backup, so that if anything happened to Zhao Tian, ​​they could make up for it in time.

So Li Ci’s guarantee is very important.

Finally, Shi Xiao said, "But there is one more thing. You have to promise me that you will not do anything to Yuan Shu again."

Li Ci frowned slightly and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do anything to Yuan Shu. It was someone else. Although Yuan Shu and I are not on good terms and can't continue to be friends, I admire her very much and will never harm her."

Li Ci became more serious as he spoke, "The more Yuan Shu shows off her talent, the more she will attract other people's attention. So the one who hurts her is never someone else, but you."

Li Ci was right, Shi Xiao was the culprit of everything, and he could only do his best to protect Yuan Shu.

This is also the reason why he agreed to divorce Yuan Shu. As long as he cut off his relationship with Yuan Shu, those who wanted to harm Shi Xiao would no longer pay attention to Shi Xiao. In that case, Shi Xiao might suffer less.

Since the person who hurt Yuan Shu was neither Li Ci nor Jiang Chen, then who could it be?

What is that person's goal?

At this moment, Shi Xiao couldn't help but think of what Yuan Shu had said, "The enemy in the open is not scary, the enemy in the dark is the most frightening."

The next morning, the Shi Group announced the news of Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu's divorce on its official account. In just one morning, it became a hot search topic, causing company employees to come to Yuan Shu early in the morning to see if he would come to work.

However, just when everyone was expecting Yuan Shu to arrive, Zhao Mian arrived first. She adjusted her black-framed glasses, and scanned everyone in the office with a robot-like cold gaze. She said coldly, "President Shi has announced a new rule. No one is allowed to talk about President Shi and his ex-wife, and no one is allowed to be disrespectful to Miss Yuan. Those who violate the rules will be fired immediately."

After saying that, Zhao Mian turned around and prepared to leave.

Everyone was shocked. It was obvious that this was done to protect Yuan Shu. Although they didn't dare to say it out loud, they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts, and even secretly discussed in the gossip group: "Mr. Shi has deep feelings for Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu doesn't care about the power and money of the Shi family. In order to pursue independence, she divorced." This became a hot topic in the gossip group.

Hearing the sound of people typing on the keyboard in the office, Zhao Mian turned around and said, "We are not allowed to discuss this in the group."

Everyone in the office fell silent.

So, when Yuan Shu came to the office, everyone was still concentrating on their work and did not make any noise.

Only Cheng Cheng took the computer and followed Yuan Shu to the office.

She enlarged the PPT on the computer, placed it on the desk in front of Yuan Shu, and said, "Mr. Yuan, this is a website that the cloud software company launched yesterday. This PPT is a detailed introduction of the website. Please take a look."

As soon as he heard that it was Tan Jing's company, Yuan Shu put down his work and looked at the PPT carefully. The PPT had more than 20 pages, and Yuan Shu's frown deepened with each page he read. After finishing reading the entire PPT, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel a little angry, and chuckled, "I knew Tan Jing wouldn't be able to hold it back."

Yuan Shu turned off the computer and said, "Just do your thing first. I'll take care of this."

The website launched by Tan Jing is almost identical to the website of Shi Group. The entire website is a vlog. There is no difference except for the name.

Tan Jing deliberately chose to launch the website at this time, obviously targeting the Shi Group.
