Chapter 720 Halo

"I'm not making a fuss. It's fair to let my abilities speak for themselves." Hao Tianyi bit her lip in grievance, looking at Li Tingxi with red eyes. "You've never taken my abilities seriously. You only see me as an ignorant and fearless child. The reason you invited me back to China to join your company was because of my parents, not because you valued my abilities."

"This time, if I win, I will be the new design director of Yitao Culture, and I can prove to you with facts that my abilities are indeed stronger than Su Youling's. You are the one who is blind and underestimates me!"

Even if she can't compete with Su Youling in love, she will never admit defeat in her career.

Su Youling is indeed talented, and her previous designs have many merits. However, her weakness lies in her excessive commercialization, which has caused her to lose the purity of artistic design. In the eyes of a true artist, such designs cannot move people's hearts.

She was confident that she could win this time.

"No!" Li Tingxi objected, not wanting her to cause trouble for Su Youling at this time, but Su Youling agreed to Hao Tianyi's bet and even showed a confident look on her face, "Why not? Do you think I can't beat a little girl?"

“Su Su…” Although Li Tingxi didn’t understand, he felt that Su Youling was even more charming this way, and he regretted neglecting Su Youling for so long and burying her talent.

Her artistic talent and abilities were buried by the brutal business model of the Li family, and the person who discovered Su Youling's shining points was actually Le Yixun, and the person who aroused Su Youling's fighting spirit was actually Hao Tianyi...

Whichever it is, it has nothing to do with him.

Li Tingxi felt a pang of jealousy as he realized that he hadn't really helped Su Youling's career at all, and had even caused her a lot of trouble.

but--

Even if Su Su agrees, the personnel appointments of the Li family will still be in his hands in the future, and he will never let Su Su suffer a loss or lose face.

The little girl is too naive. She wants to step on Su Su to prove herself, but she doesn't know Su Su's reputation and status in the industry. No matter how this auction goes, she will be the biggest winner.

"Brother Tingxi!" Hao Tianyi glared at him angrily, "Don't be so obviously biased. Su Youling isn't a parasitic plant clinging to you. Don't hinder her career."

Oh well, so be it.

The little girl brought this trouble upon herself.

Li Tingxi sighed: "Fine, whatever you say. But let's make this clear first, if you lose, don't cry. Just go abroad and finish your studies. Stop clamoring to come out and make money. Is that something an artist should be saying all the time?"

"What's wrong with being an artist? Doesn't art need to eat?" Hao Tianyi muttered, then reluctantly agreed under Li Tingxi's sharp gaze, "I know. If I lose, I'll go back to further my studies and definitely won't cause you any trouble or get in your way."

"Then it's settled." Su Youling glanced at Hao Tianyi and suddenly said, "Le Yixun's status is what it is. This time, Yaosheng Group will probably invite him and Elder Lu to preside over the auction. Did you get this information from him?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Hao Tianyi, for some reason, blushed suddenly when Su Youling stared at her so directly, and said angrily, "Isn't Le Yixun devoted to you? Why are you asking me what he's up to?"

After saying that, she stomped her foot and ran away.

“This girl!” Li Tingxi frowned. “Has she been getting too close to Le Yixun? She’s never home lately. She says she’s taking the three kids out to play, but it looks more like the three kids are taking her out.”

"If you're worried, you can have someone investigate." Su Youling had just brought it up when she overheard Yangyang mentioning that Hao Tianyi had been going to the archery club a lot lately.

Le Songming has been hanging out there every day lately. I heard that he has successfully connected with Mi Cheng through Xiaomi and is developing harmoniously with the help of Le Qing.

If Yue Songming has ulterior motives, then what is Hao Tianyi's purpose?

Surely it's not that he likes archery?

"Su Su, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Li Tingxi pinched the bridge of his nose. "I've been so busy with work lately that I didn't even notice Tianyi's things. Don't let that bastard Le Yixun take advantage of this!"

Su Youling: "..."

Hearing that sarcastic tone, she knew that Li Tingxi was about to make a fuss again, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Dr. Xia told me that you've been cooperating with the treatment a lot lately, and the first phase of treatment is showing initial results. However, she suggested that you relax and not get too caught up in work. Good physical health is the foundation of mental health."

"Yes, my dear wife." Li Tingxi was beaming with joy at the praise, even happier than if he had won the lottery. "Su Su, you've been in B City for three days now. When are you coming back?"

“At least we need to calm Qi Xiang’an down a bit. Lu Wenli is already investigating Blue’s background, and we’ll have results soon.” Su Youling smiled and reassured him, “Alright, you’re busy with work too. Even if we go back, we’ll just be busy with our own things. It’s better to keep a certain distance so that you can think about me more.”

Li Tingxi was helpless.

My wife is a strong, independent woman who isn't clingy at all, which is really frustrating.

After lingering for a while, Su Youling hung up the phone and went to find Lu Wenli with the documents and design drawings to discuss countermeasures.

After putting down his phone, Li Tingxi's expression returned to its usual calm indifference. He sent a message to Qin He, asking him to thoroughly investigate Hao Tianyi and Le Yixun's movements.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Hao Tianyi, carrying a large craft bag, made a move as if she were moving house, hurriedly said goodbye to Li Tingxi, and was about to leave.

"Brother Tingxi, I'm going out for a bit. Don't wait up for me for dinner."

"Hao Tianyi!" Li Tingxi stood up, strode over to her, and glanced at her. "What are you doing? Running away from home?"

"How could that be? Why would I run away from home for no reason?" Hao Tianyi is indeed exceptionally talented, but she has also put in a lot of effort in order to realize her design dream. Although she has made a name for herself in the industry over the years, many people still give her a lot of recognition because of her school, her teachers, and Li Tingxi behind her.

She admired Su Youling for this.

Su Youling truly shone in the industry during the five years she was away from Li Tingxi, working her way up from the bottom and carving out a place for herself internationally with her absolute strength.

If she hadn't completely severed ties with the strange kingdom this time, finding a powerful partner would have been a piece of cake.

Therefore, Hao Tianyi had long wanted to make a name for herself. Rather than competing with Su Youling, she wanted to show Li Tingxi and everyone else that she was also capable and not just a child living in someone else's shadow.
