The company's current momentum requires a quick success. I've recently been eyeing a robotics project. The hardware and software are nearly complete, and just a few tweaks are needed before it can be launched. However, this final step is the most challenging, requiring not only money and power, but also connections. So, the R&D company came looking for investment. I figured such a great project couldn't just reap the rewards alone; the benefits should be shared by everyone. Doesn't Rockwell Automation also have a robotics subsidiary? Wouldn't it be better for us to collaborate and achieve mutual success?

After Lai Yaoming finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Luo Jingxuan's face. Although his original intention was to steal Luo Jingxuan's money and influence, the idea of ​​win-win cooperation was not wrong. Luo Jingxuan borrowed the influence, but he also made money.

Lai Yiu-ming had a good idea, but Lo King-hin had a cold face the whole time, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Son-in-law, what do you think of this project? Are you interested?"

"No." Before Luo Jingxuan could say anything, Li Xi spoke up, "If you need this project to expand the company's market, then invest it yourself. Don't try to bully us by saying it's for your own good. No matter how wealthy the Luo family is, we can't use it for fun."

"What do you mean by playing around? I've been involved in the business world for so many years, how could I not know what projects can make money? You're just a kid, go and have fun." Lai Yiu Ming felt that either he had Mercury retrograde today, or Li Xi's brain was rusty. Why did she always contradict him?

"Jingxuan, don't listen to Xiaoxi's nonsense. She doesn't understand any of this."

Luo Jingxuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Li Xi. "That's not entirely nonsense. Luo's really doesn't need such a 'robot' project. If your company needs it, you can invest on your own. There's no need to involve Luo's."

"Haha..." Li Yaoming laughed awkwardly. He hadn't expected Luo Jingxuan to actually defend Li Xi. It seemed he had to be nicer to Li Xi in the future. "The company just invested in a few projects, so cash flow is a bit tight. And for a robot to be listed on the market, it needs a qualification certificate from the relevant department, and I don't have any connections."

"If you don't have the skills, don't take on such a delicate job." Li Xi retorted again, ignoring Li Yaoming's grimace. "Do you think it's that easy to support the launch of a robot? Quality, intelligence, functionality, innovation—which one isn't important? Not to mention the cost, navigating the relevant departments requires connections—none of these are easy. Do you have what it takes?"

Li Yaoming wanted to get angry like before at Li Xi's outspoken dislike, but when he saw Luo Jingxuan sitting next to him like a god, he had to control his temper, "It's because my company alone can't handle it that I thought of asking Jingxuan to join me."

"No, I'm not interested. Luo's doesn't need it either." This time, without waiting for Li Xi to speak, Luo Jingxuan directly refused. Not only was the project itself riddled with doubts, he even disliked Lai Yaoming himself. If Li Xi had spoken up, he might have been willing to offer some advice. But if Li Xi wasn't willing to chime in, why bother with the project?

After exchanging wits with Li Xi for such a long time, Luo Jingxuan had a cold face but didn't say a word. Li Yaoming thought he was considering the feasibility of the investment, but he didn't expect him to refuse directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

After being slapped in the face by his daughter and son-in-law one after another, he has lost all his dignity and face.

Lai Yiu Ming wanted to persuade them a few more times, but Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan no longer wanted to listen.

"Is the meal not ready yet? If they haven't cooked ours, we can just go back and eat. There's no point sitting here hungry in the cold wind. Or, we..."

Before Li Xi finished speaking, Jian Ruolan came out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, okay, it's time to eat."

He then invited everyone to dinner and asked the servants to call Li Meng and Li Jian. However, it was obvious that neither of them wanted to eat at the same table with Li Xi. They just said they were not feeling well and had the food taken back to their rooms.

Li Xi didn't care at all. She shrugged and sat down at the dining table and started eating happily. She didn't care at all about Li Yaoming's dark face and Jian Ruolan's fake concerned smile.

Luo Jingxuan didn't care at all, just eating his food elegantly. Not to mention, Li's cook was pretty good. If the Li family ever fell on hard times, they could still dig up Yuyuan.

As a result, two extremes formed at the dinner table.

Luo Jingxuan and Li Xi ate slowly but with great relish.

Lai Yiu Ming and Jian Ruolan took a few bites and exchanged glances, then lost interest in the food.

By the time they finished their meal, it was already dark in Tianye. Li Xi and the others said goodbye and left. Li Yaoming said "hmm" with a dark face, but did not get up to see them off. Jian Ruolan wanted to maintain her virtuous image and see them off, but Li Xi was unwilling to do so. She pulled Luo Jingxuan and left quickly, leaving no room for Jian Ruolan.

Jian Ruolan followed a few steps, but when she couldn't catch up, she gave up.

After the two of them got into the car, Li Xi laughed out loud. This meal was really satisfying. When she thought of Li Yaoming's sullen face, Li Xi felt like she could eat three more bowls of rice.

Hahaha……

Li Xi was laughing heartily here when Luo Jingxuan suddenly spoke up beside her.

"Husband? Hmm?"

The slightly upward tone of his voice didn't sound angry, but somehow it was a bit creepy.

Li Xi, who was laughing, immediately stopped smiling and put on a flattering expression.

"Ha ha."
