Li Shufang walked out of the Li Group building with an angry expression. Unable to speak and anxious, he lost his balance and tumbled down the five or six-meter-high steps.

The lawyer and driver quickly helped him up, but Li Shufang was unable to stand. In the end, the driver carried him into the car.

Unbeknownst to Li Shufang, this was Li Muliu's covert operation.

If I had known this guy wouldn't keep his word and that I'd been swindled out of another ten million, I would never have actually bought him a hundred sets of clothes. I sealed off his leg meridians beforehand, and if I hadn't intervened to treat him, he probably would never have been able to stand up again in his life.

.

Although the Li Group is Li Mu's own company, based on his predecessor's memories, he didn't seem to care much about the company's affairs, and he was even less familiar with the people who worked there.

It can be said that besides her parents and second uncle, she only knew Shen Nancheng. She knew him because she had asked him for pocket money. Also, he was her mother's cousin, which was her maternal uncle.

Although Li Mu didn't recognize this roguish-looking Cheng Yishi, he was certain that Cheng Yishi wasn't from the company because Cheng Yishi had previously liked his post and mocked Li Shufang. Since Cheng Yishi wasn't from the company, the answer was obvious: he was just another guy trying to get something for nothing.

Seeing Cheng Yi stand up, smile, and introduce himself, extending his hand as well, Li Mu deliberately tightened his grip after their hands clasped. He thought to himself, "One doesn't hit a smiling face. I can hold back for now, but I'll teach you a lesson with my hands."

Li Mu gripped Cheng Yishi's hand and unleashed ten times the force an ordinary person could endure, showing no mercy to this guy who had come to freeload.

"Multiply by ten? Oh! Why not multiply by a hundred? Nice to meet you!"

To Li Mu's slight surprise, the expected scream didn't happen. It seemed this guy was actually skilled in martial arts. No wonder he wasn't leaving; he probably thought he was stronger than that Uncle Li and was still thinking of making some extra money from the Li Group.

Just as Cheng Yi was about to say, "My older brother is Cheng Yibai," Li Mu grabbed his hand forcefully. This was definitely not a friendly greeting. He thought to himself, "Brother, you might have misunderstood!"

If it were an ordinary person, Li Mu's way of greeting would have at least ruined their hand, leaving them crippled, or prevented them from eating for at least ten days to two weeks. Fortunately, he had some training, and although he couldn't compare to the freakish martial artists in his family, he was still quite good.

Caught off guard by Li Mu's smiling yet subtly manipulative act, Cheng Yishi, confident in his own abilities, quickly regained his composure and secretly increased his own strength. As the two gradually intensified their attacks, the smile on Cheng Yishi's face vanished, and his expression began to darken.

Just when Cheng Yi thought his hand was about to be ruined, the other person's grip weakened and they withdrew. Then, he heard Li Mu shout, "Ouch!" The sound was so loud and sudden that it almost startled him.

Cheng Yi pulled his hand away, exhaled a breath of cold air, gritted his teeth, and shook his hand vigorously. Then he looked at Li Mu, who seemed to be in no pain anywhere except for uttering a "ouch." Only then did he realize that Li Mu had done it on purpose.

.

Everyone in the conference room was startled by Li Mu's sudden shout.

"Xiao Mu, what are you doing! Shouting like that? We're having a meeting! Sit down right now."

Li Hongjun was startled by Li Mu's shout and stood up to reprimand him. At the same time, he glared at Cheng Yishi, reminding Li Mu to attend the meeting, and also reminding Cheng Yishi, this outsider, to leave quickly.

Li Mu ignored Li Hongjun's reprimand; he didn't want to attend the meeting, especially with outsiders present. So, looking at Cheng Yishi, who was startled and still rubbing his hands, he said...

"Brother Chen, you're quite capable! Much better than that other guy. However, with just this much skill, it seems unlikely you'll be able to make a name for yourself in the Li Group!"

Cheng thought to himself, "I've really been misunderstood! They're practically treating me like a robber." He quickly said,

"Mr. Li, Young Master Mu, you may have misunderstood. Although I was invited by Uncle Li, we don't share the same views. Since you're having a meeting, it's not convenient for me to explain now. How about I wait outside and explain later? By the way, Mr. Li, do you know my elder brother, Cheng Yibai?"

“Cheng Yibai!? Cheng Yibai from Xishan, you, you are that Cheng Yishi?” Li Hongjun said, speechless.

When discussing the renowned Chen Yibai, Cheng Yishi is an indispensable figure. The two brothers complemented each other perfectly, their collaboration seamless. It's just that Chen Yibai was in the limelight, while Cheng Yishi worked behind the scenes. Many say that without Cheng Yishi's pioneering efforts, Chen Yibai wouldn't have his current business empire.

Cheng released his still slightly painful hand and answered formally:

"Mr. Li, let me formally introduce myself. I am Cheng Yishi from Xishan Province. I apologize for interrupting your meeting! I can wait outside and pay you a formal visit later!"

"Second Uncle, I don't want to have a meeting. You can have one yourself. Anyway, you're in charge of everything. It's a good opportunity to accompany this President Chen on a tour of the company."

Li Muxin said that holding a meeting was impossible. He'd already had enough, having watched this idiot perform for so long and then given such a long speech himself. Before, he'd heard this guy say that he didn't share Li Shufang's views, which meant he still had his own ideas and was prepared to question them.

As a result, Li Hongjun interrupted him. Now that there was no meeting, he could finally have a word with Cheng Yishi and see what this guy really meant.

.

Nowadays, when people mention the Cheng family of Xishan, they're likely aware that the Cheng family produced two extraordinary talents in this generation. Few with even a modicum of influence or power are unaware of this. The Cheng family of Xishan is a family that transcends the three realms and is not bound by the five elements. Although the Cheng family isn't based in Yanjing, their influence there is no less than that of the Chen family, because the Cheng family has martial artists.

Cheng Yishi was one of the most outstanding talents of the Cheng family in Xishan this generation. He was tall and well-proportioned, handsome and dashing, and had practiced martial arts since childhood. He had always enjoyed making friends from all walks of life, including all sorts of people, as long as they were not enemies and only wanted to take advantage of him.

This time, Cheng Yishi did not refuse Li Shufang's invitation. He already knew about the Li Group in Jiangcheng; for a local enterprise to achieve its current scale, its chairman, Li Jianjun, was an exceptionally talented individual—a figure he himself admired.

Now, Chairman Li Jianjun has suddenly died, and the Li family of Yanjing is trying to reap the benefits for free. He really wants to see if the Li Group, which this incompetent Li Shufang considers his for the taking, and its successor or heir, are as Li Shufang thinks.

It seems that Li Mu, the heir to the Li Group, is quite capable. As the old saying goes, like father, like son, he has not disappointed.

The fact that he tricked Li Shufang into paying ten million for his stupidity is enough to prove that Li Mu has both high intelligence and emotional intelligence.

If Li Mu were to take over the Li Group now, given his youth and current lack of management experience, he might not be able to significantly expand the company, but maintaining its current state should be no problem. Given time, his achievements might not be inferior to his father's.

Cheng Yi followed Li Mu out of the conference room. The guy had just said he would show him around the company, but now he was being led directly to the chairman's office.
