Chapter 360 Don't lower yourself to the level of an animal

"President Li?" Qin He spoke up at the right moment, "What did Madam say? Does she need you to go back and help today?"

To be honest, the sudden collective attack by those restless old guys on the board of directors was clearly at the behest of the old man.

It's understandable that the CEO is worried about his wife, given how obvious this is a diversionary tactic.

but……

The president's quelling of the internal strife was actually the greatest help he could give to his wife.

Given the lady's pride and ability, she would definitely not accept the president's underhanded tactics.

"She refused." Li Tingxi indeed had a regretful yet proud expression. "Su Su's abilities are more than enough to deal with a few petty people."

Qin He looked utterly dejected, as if he'd just been fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). "President Li, Chairman Zheng and his team are still blocking the way outside with reporters. Since you don't need to worry about Madam, let's deal with the headquarters issue first. If we let them escalate this, you'll be trending again."

A cold glint flashed in Li Tingxi's eyes. "You're right. We need to deal with these troublesome guys as soon as possible so we can get to City C."

Qin He: "??"

Is that what I meant?

Whose comprehension is the problem?

"Mr. Li, Madam has already refused, what are you still going to City C for?"

“Ding Muyan is eyeing us covetously, with ill intentions. I must be there with Su Su tomorrow.” A cold glint flashed in Li Tingxi’s eyes as he picked up the documents on the table, instantly reverting to his aloof and cunning demeanor. “Have them come to the conference room.”

Qin He couldn't help but shiver as he looked at the terrifying aura emanating from his boss.

We're doomed!

The living Yama is about to unleash a massacre!

The next day.

Su Youling and Wen Xi got up very early, intending to grab a quick bite before leaving, but the takeout delivery arrived at their door more punctually than an alarm clock.

"Shiweiju is a high-end, privately-run restaurant that only accepts reservations from the wealthy and famous for their gourmet meals. When..."

"They even offer breakfast delivery?" Wen Xi opened the lunchbox, her eyes immediately lighting up. "This...this is the breakfast standard for a state banquet! No wonder it's so heavy and such a big box."

Su Youling raised an eyebrow, looked at Wen Xi's teasing gaze, and shrugged helplessly, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

"What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?" Wen Xi asked, wiping grease from her mouth as she ate. "No wonder Li Tingxi, who's thousands of miles away, went to the trouble of preparing such a fancy breakfast for you. Is he trying to appease his wife?"

"Just eat yours." Su Youling glared at her angrily, though her anger wasn't as sudden as it had been the night before.

When she woke up, she had already forgotten her impulsive act from the previous night.

Unexpectedly, Li Tingxi made such a big deal out of nothing, which only made him seem guilty.

Su Youling originally wanted to remove him from the blacklist today, lest Li Tingxi go crazy and cause trouble if he was locked up for too long.

but--

She's changed her mind now!

Let's leave him hanging for another day, and talk to him after he finishes today's project.

The bidding process was very large, with professional judges, a large number of public judges, investors and sponsors of the art exhibition, and most importantly, bidders.

Besides Yitao Culture and Qiyi Kingdom, there are more than a dozen other selected companies of varying sizes.

However, most people understand this in their hearts.

After such a long competition and selection process, Yitao Culture and the Wonderland are almost the only two final choices.

In the end, there will only be one winner.

On the judges' panel, Mr. Lu was the center of attention, standing out from the crowd.

The elderly man with gray hair wore gold-rimmed glasses and a stern-looking Tang suit. No matter what others said, he would simply nod or shake his head slightly, without saying much.

Since the last cruise ship banquet, Old Master Lu seemed to have aged considerably, his face showing more paleness and helplessness from the passage of time.

In an instant, the eyes of the old man and the young man met across the distance.

Su Youling paused, instinctively opening her mouth as if to go over and say hello.

Although Lu Niao was the victim in the whole affair, once Li Tingxi got involved, he heard that Lu Niao suffered a mental breakdown and pretended to be crazy to avoid going abroad.

Li Tingxi had her sent to a mental hospital for treatment for a period of time. In the end, Lu Niao escaped from the mental hospital looking neither human nor ghost and obediently went abroad.

But before I went abroad, I heard that there was another big commotion.

After this blow, the two elderly members of the Lu family were bedridden for a time.

If it weren't for Lu Mingxuan's skillful maneuvering and meticulous handling of all aspects, the Lu family would probably have been in complete chaos long ago.

She tried to visit him in the hospital, but was refused every time, so she stopped bothering him.

But as soon as Su Youling took a step, Old Master Lu's gaze only lingered on her briefly before quickly shifting away indifferently, as if he didn't recognize her at all.

Su Youling's face darkened, and she sighed almost imperceptibly.

After all, he was a veteran artist and an old friend of her mentor, so she didn't want things to escalate to this point.

But ultimately, they had no choice in the matter.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't mind him. Grandpa Lu's favorite granddaughter is Lu Niao, but she's been tormented to the point of near death because of you. Anyone would feel resentful in that situation."

Su Youling turned around.

Slightly raised an eyebrow. "You?"

Karina was dressed in a blue suit, looking both capable and charming. Behind her was the planning team from Yitao Culture, but Master Li was notably absent.

"Surprised?" Karina walked over with a smile, her eyes filled with nonchalant mockery. "Tingxi is temporarily infatuated with your face that looks so much like his deceased wife. Chairman Li was worried that he would act on his emotions and use the future of Yitao Culture to please you, so he specially changed me to come to the bidding meeting."

She reached out her hand to Su Youling and deliberately raised her voice, "I've long heard that Miss Rebecca was invincible when she was abroad. I'm very much looking forward to competing with her on this stage today."

"I've heard that whether it's someone of the same sex or the opposite sex, their legs go weak the moment they see your charming face. Today's judges include both young and old people, and I'm really looking forward to Miss Rebecca's performance."

The implication was clear: Rebecca achieved her current status by selling her body and beauty!

As expected.

Many people's attention was drawn to it.

Seeing that the focus was on Karina and Rebecca, people naturally thought of the fleeting trending topic from a few days ago.

Rebecca had only been back in the country for a short time when she suddenly hooked up with Li Tingxi before the art exhibition bidding, giving Karina a solid cuckold's horns...

It's hard not to overthink it.

After Karina said that, many people's eyes were filled with disdain and sarcasm, and they looked down on Rebecca from the start.

"You bitch, what are you saying?" Wenxi couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand to hit her.

Karina's eyes flashed, and instead of retreating, she advanced, as if she were eager to be beaten.

"Wen Xi!" Su Youling pulled Wen Xi back from her impulsive act, and looked at Karina coldly, saying, "If a dog bites you, how can you bite back? Arguing with an animal is just dirtying your own mouth!"
