Therefore, she didn't know that Luo's had more face with the government than Shen's. All she knew was what was mentioned in the original text, or rather, what Shen Zhou himself said in the original text, "The government wants to build a smart park, and Luo's will definitely participate in the competition. Comparing our strengths, Shen's is not 100% sure of winning this project, so we need to use some special means."

Special means are naturally not to be seen in public. In the original story, Shen Zhou tried many methods to infiltrate the enemy (Luo family), even sending women to Luo Jingxuan, but all ended in failure. In the end, Shen Zhou thought of Li Xi.

In the original story, Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan have a distant relationship. Having been sold by her own father for money, Li Xi takes her anger out on the buyer, Luo Jingxuan. After obtaining their marriage certificate, they could have lived their separate lives, but to make things difficult for Luo Jingxuan (Li Xi, in the original story, is no fool; she somewhat suspected that Luo Jingxuan's marriage to her was a scheme), she strongly demands to live in Luo Jingxuan's villa, where she then acts arrogantly and bosses the servants around.

Luo Jingxuan, however, was magnanimous and unconcerned. Ever since Li Xi moved in, he rarely returned to the villa, not even bringing the original Li Xi back to the Luo family. After a while, the original Li Xi grew bored and stopped making trouble. But growing up in that environment had distorted her personality, and she couldn't be happy unless she made others unhappy. After she stopped making trouble for Luo Jingxuan's people, she started making trouble for the Li family.

Although she disliked Luo Jingxuan, she knew that being Luo Jingxuan's wife was a powerful title. After deciding to harass the Li family, she began frequently attending various banquets that the Li family might attend under the name "Mrs. Luo." Then, she would arrogantly disparage them, making them blush and rage, and then, like a victorious rooster, she would fling her sleeves and leave the banquet, leaving the Li family to suffer the cold stares of others.

Luo Jingxuan was not unaware of her "shameful" behavior, but he just didn't care. It didn't affect him anyway, so he just let her do whatever she wanted. Luo Jingxuan didn't care, but others did. During this period, many people tried to get close to Luo Jingxuan by currying favor with Li Xi. Unfortunately, Li Xi knew her status with Luo Jingxuan, and she didn't really like being sought after, so she didn't give anyone a chance.

This is why Shen Zhou didn't immediately find Yuanwen Li Xi's original text. She was just a vase, how much influence could she have on Luo Jingxuan? Finally, with no other choice, Shen Zhou set his sights on Yuanwen Li Xi and conducted a very detailed investigation of her before deciding to use the beauty trap.

Li Xi may seem overbearing and difficult to get along with, but she's actually quite innocent, a child in need of love. To win her favor, it's easy: just "love" her.

It sounds outrageous, but that's exactly how Li Xi is set up in the original story. She's even more love-obsessed than the rest of the Luo family. While they shine brightly with a little sunshine, she's devoted to a little love. Honestly, this characterization is probably the author's golden trick for Shen Zhou—the naive, gullible wife of his sworn enemy. As for why Li Xi was able to steal Luo's trade secrets from the villa's study, where Luo Jingxuan rarely visited, that's probably another golden trick the author gave the male protagonist—Luo Jingxuan occasionally returned to the villa to handle official business in the study, and during those times, he'd forgotten to disable the shared permissions between the two computers at his two residences. Furthermore, in the original story, Li Xi initially accessed the villa's computer as a trial run. If there wasn't anything to steal there, she'd plan to go to Luo Jingxuan's apartment near his office under the guise of checking on him and steal the information.

hehe.

The current Li Xi is naturally different from the original Li Xi. Not to mention that she doesn't reveal her relationship with Luo Jingxuan when out and about. For Li Xi's safety, and to avoid causing trouble for her (besides Li Xi's own troublemaking nature, Luo Jingxuan has made many enemies in the business world, many who want to speak to him. Since he's a busy person, these people tend to reach out to those around him. Assistant Jiang has received more than one poaching offer), Luo Jingxuan protects Li Xi well, including but not limited to arranging bodyguards for her, concealing her information, and issuing a gag order to the Luo and Li families, forbidding them from revealing their relationship.

Moreover, because of Su Yu, Shen Zhou and Li Xi had met more than once, and their impressions were not very good. Even if Shen Zhou wanted to take advantage of Li Xi, it would not be a beauty trap. As for other plans, the probability of success was also low. After all, since the last kidnapping incident, Li Xi was always accompanied by bodyguards, the kind that could lurk in the crowd without attracting attention.

In other words, the events that would have dethroned Luo Jingxuan in the original story would not have had any unintended adverse effects on Li Xi or Luo Jingxuan. Furthermore, based on Shen Zhou's attitude in the original story, the Luo family had a strong chance of winning. If this were to succeed, it would be a significant blow to both Shen Zhou and the Shen family. Wouldn't it be even better if Luo Jingxuan could further hinder Shen Zhou's actions, causing him to suffer an even greater defeat?

However, Li Xi didn't know the exact timeline for the government's public release of the Smart Park construction plan, and rashly bringing it up might arouse Luo Jingxuan's suspicion. Although she had previously revealed many revelations that had irritated Luo Jingxuan, and Luo Jingxuan had never pursued them, this matter, after all, involved government planning and policy adjustments, and couldn't be dismissed with an excuse like "Mian Lao Si told me."

Therefore, Li Xi did not bring it up in front of Luo Jingxuan, but instead wanted Mian Lao Si to investigate what projects the Shen and Luo companies were competing in recently.

Both of them had their own hesitations, so they didn't come up with a plan to trip up Shen Zhou that day. They just briefly discussed plans and prospects, then said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
