The internal affairs of the Li Family didn’t spread too quickly. Although the old man Li Deshen had fainted because of this matter, there was Li Muhua to take control. Everything seemed as neat and orderly as before.
The bomb scare in the villa was completely eradicated under Li Muhua’s wise directions, to everyone’s great admiration.
Yet, Li Muhua felt like he had suffered unspeakable hardship. Once he thought of that man’s terrifying smile, he felt worse than death……
It was a whole half of the total profits! Given away submissively just like that!
Although he felt unresigned, Li Muhua, who had walked the line between life and death, didn’t dare take the risk of offending the man who could even dodge bullets!
At ten in the morning, in the conference hall of Twilight Villa, Li Muhua feigned calmness as he shook hands with Lu Tao, Yang Chen, and Mo Qianni. Under the watch of several executives of Muyun Corporation, the details of the business talks ended.
As for the allotment of profits, it wasn’t something that would be decided just from this meeting. They still needed to wait till after visiting the research lab before starting the negotiations, so there wasn’t much impact.
Yang Chen and Mo Qianni were different from Lu Tao. They could sense the fear in Li Muhua when he looked at Yang Chen. The two were thinking the same thing, but just smiled without speaking a word.
After smoothly concluding the morning’s work, everybody had a sumptuous lunch together. However, this time, Chairman Li had already been put on a drip. His physical condition had worsened after the news of his eldest son’s death, hence he could no longer be present. Therefore, Li Muhua took charge of everything.
Everybody understood in their hearts that Li Muhua had actually completely replaced Li Deshen and had become the true master of the Li Family and Muyun Corporation thanks to this matter.
……
In the CEO’s office on the top floor of Zhonghai’s Yu Lei International Headquarters, Lin Ruoxi sat in her leather chair as usual, focused on looking at all kinds of reports and statistics that had come in this morning.
These reports were things that those on the managerial level wouldn’t pay attention to, but the young CEO Lin Ruoxi was very clear that no matter how much charisma and ability one had in managing, if they didn’t understand the detailed data, they couldn’t truly be qualified to hold an executive post. Therefore, she never avoided these complex data.
After looking through the reports for a while, Lin Ruoxi looked up to check the time on the computer screen. It was already eleven in the morning.
It had been three days since Yang Chen and Mo Qianni left for Hong Kong, but they hadn’t contacted her. This made Lin Ruoxi feel unpleasant inside.
He must be feeling very relaxed. With the Li Family’s hospitality, there must be all kinds of fun to be had. Especially for that thick-skinned fellow, he might have already gone to disturb other ladies, and may have already forgotten his duty amidst the fun and pleasure.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the office door. The only one who would do this was her secretary, Wu Yue.
Come in.
Lin Ruoxi withdrew her engrossed expression, returning to her bearings as a CEO.
Wu Yue, who wore a black suit, solemnly entered the office,
Boss Lin, something happened in Hong Kong.
Lin Ruoxi felt her heartstrings being pulled, but didn’t show it. She calmly asked,
What happened?
The director of the Hong Kong branch called in this morning. Three nights ago, the Xu Family attempted to assassinate Department Head Mo and Yang Chen. After that, due to the Li Family’s internal strife, the Li Family’s Young Master, Li Mucheng, planted a biochemical bomb in the villa. Thankfully, Li Muhua saved everybody from the crisis. Department Head Mo and Yang Chen were both unhurt. This matter was sealed by the Li Family for three days, and was only revealed by the police this morning!
Even after Wu Yue was done reporting, Lin Ruoxi still had no reaction. After some time, she nodded and said,
I got it, you may go now.
Wu Yue seemed to be accustomed to Lin Ruoxi’s indifferent attitude towards everything and quietly left.
Once the door was closed, Lin Ruoxi immediately grabbed her office phone. But right as she was about to dial the number, she stopped.
Should I call? Ask how they are doing?
What for? Three days have passed since that huge incident and they didn’t promptly report this to me. It’s not like they’re on the opposite side of the globe where they have to account for timezones.
To think that I was concerned when they didn’t even think about me!
Once she thought of this, Lin Ruoxi’s worry turned into bitterness. She took a deep breath and put down the phone.
……
Unaware that his legal wife was gnashing her teeth in anger, Yang Chen was currently yawning. He sat in a Mercedes-Benz arranged by Li Muhua and was on the way to Muyun’s research institute.
Mo Qianni sat beside him in a fitting white woman’s suit, revealing her beautiful curves. At this moment, the woman held onto a pile of technological documents, and was earnestly looking through them.
Little Qianqian, these technological data are for the research personnel to see, what are you looking at them for?
Yang Chen asked.
Although the two of them had been open about their feelings, Mo Qianni didn’t make any overly intimate actions. The rational woman was very clear that as long as Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi were still husband and wife, she couldn’t be together with Yang Chen without worry. Even though they liked each other, they could only show it secretly.
She didn’t want to give up on Yang Chen, but she didn’t want to become enemies with her best friend either.
Hearing Yang Chen’s corny form of address, Mo Qianni couldn’t help but blush as she rolled her eyes at him. She softly said,
You wanna die!? It’d be so embarrassing if the driver heard! I like looking at them, so what!?
-2: Teacher’s teacher
Hehe, I’m just bored.
Yang Chen smiled while sliding his hand into the slit of Mo Qianni’s skirt, quickly reaching her soft and firm thigh.
The thighs which were covered by beige stockings were incredibly smooth to the touch, Yang Chen couldn’t help but pinch it.
Mo Qianni was so shocked that she immediately put down the pile of documents, used both hands to clamp down on Yang Chen’s misbehaving hand, and stopped him from advancing further under her skirt.
Don’t… don’t be like this, it’d be really embarrassing if someone found out.
Mo Qianni implored, her face flushed.
You look at your things, I will just place my hand here. Relax.
Yang Chen had a resolute face of no retreat.
Mo Qianni was helpless, and had no choice but to let Yang Chen keep his hand between her thighs. She picked up the data to look at them, but her thoughts had wandered to god knows where.
Half an hour later, the fleet of cars arrived at Muyun Corporation’s research institute.
The research institute was built halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a dense forest. It was well concealed, but the main reason was to keep a distance from noise, making it more suitable for their personnel to immerse themselves in their work.
The surroundings were filled with the Li Family’s private guards, who wore camouflage military uniforms. They had bulging waists which obviously meant that they were hiding firearms; they just didn’t show them openly.
In this region of Hong Kong, it’s impossible for a powerful family to stand stably without any underworld background. The Li Family was a model example, they just didn’t reveal it most of the time.
Under Li Muhua’s lead, Yang Chen, Mo Qianni, and Lu Tao entered the strictly monitored research institute’s entrance. After entering the hall, they underwent full body disinfection and put on a special protective suit before entering the research institute.
In the bright research institute, there were many research personnel walking around in protective suits. Amongst them were several who recognized Li Muhua. They simply nodded and greeted him, without saying much more.
Li Muhua reacted amiably and respectfully, smiling towards these research personnel.
Obviously, these research personnel were hired by the Li Family at a huge cost. Their only mission was to develop new products. As for who was the boss, they didn’t really care.
When they entered the research institute, Li Muhua explained,
Professor Li Guangxun is my uncle, he’s placed fourth in the family. I usually call him Fourth Uncle. He has a rather cold temperament, please do not take offense to him.
Lu Tao had already recovered from the trauma from last night, and regained his smile,
Boss Li need not worry, scientists have always been different from ordinary people. We understand.
Once the automatic door to the research institute opened, everybody saw the various tools, pipelines, and colored chemicals placed in the laboratory. They were all things that couldn’t be described in words.
Seeing Li Muhua bring people in, a young man wearing glasses walked over and asked,
Are you CEO Li Muhua?
That’s right. Is my Fourth Uncle, Professor Li Guangxun here?
Li Muhua was confused, he had informed Li Guangxun beforehand that he was bringing guests to tour the current results of research.
The young man directly said,
Teacher’s teacher has come. Teacher is inside the small laboratory chatting with his teacher, and told us not to disturb him. He also said that Boss Li has to wait for him outside.
The young man spoke very quickly. After speaking, he immediately threw himself back into research work.
Li Muhua was left dumbstruck for a while before turning around to speak to everyone awkwardly,
My apologies. Although I’m also baffled over what’s going on, since Fourth Uncle said to wait for him, I can only inconvenience the three of you.
Because she had seen Li Muhua’s true face, Mo Qianni had not looked at him kindly for the past two days. At this moment, she coldly replied,
Nobody is normal in the whole family.
Li Muhua pretended not to hear it, and maintained his silence with a smile.
Boss Li, earlier that young man said that it’s Professor Li Guangxun’s teacher who came. Professor Li Guangxun is able to research and develop such a magical new material, so… wouldn’t his teacher be able to as well?
The sharp Lu Tao didn’t miss this point, and immediately reacted with a fresh point of view.
Li Muhua was also stunned, this seemed to make sense. He had once heard from Li Guangxun that Li Guangxun’s teacher was a famous leading scholar of the century. Back then he didn’t find out much, but now that he had a chance to meet this person, how could he let go of this opportunity!?
A teacher who’s able to teach a top scientist like Li Guangxun meant that his value was way above Li Guangxun’s!
Yang Chen was also curious. Over the past decade, he had seen all kinds of incredible talents, and many of these people had incredibly unique personalities. To put it another way, their different trains of thought would lead them to have an unconventional attitude and bearing.
When coming into contact with such people, one would frequently come to realize things that one usually couldn’t learn.
After waiting for over a dozen minutes in the main laboratory, the door to the small laboratory finally opened. The one who first walked out was a middle-aged man wearing a white lab coat. He had graying hair and a face that was inflexible and bleak. However, this man’s face was currently brimming with excitement and a slightly sickly smile.
Without any introduction, they knew that this was the boss of the research institute, the technological provider of this collaboration, Li Guangxun.
Behind him, another figure walked out, one who stunned the four for a moment.
