Chapter 367 Don't Make Unfounded Promises
Meeting his cold and gloomy gaze, Ding Muyan's lips twitched, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. "I didn't expect someone as serious as President Li to be able to joke around."
Li Tingxi retorted, "You can't even tell the difference between the truth and a joke. You should get your head checked."
"You!" Even with her good temper, Ding Muyan's face darkened after being humiliated in public. She looked coldly at Li Tingxi and asked, "You're here to compete representing Yitao Culture?"
The implication is clear: I'm the organizer, and you're the participant. Let's clarify our positions, okay?
"I'm here to be with my lover." Li Tingxi scoffed, tidying up Su Youling's sticky, messy hair.
Ding Muyan's lips twitched, and he gave Su Youling a meaningful look.
Is this a sign that they're not going to pretend anymore?
Su Youling didn't even spare him a glance.
Today, Ding Muyan was clearly condoning President Li and Karina's trouble-making. She could never see through this man's thoughts, but he was definitely not a good person.
The two were so affectionate that they seemed oblivious to everyone else. Now, no one doubted Li Tingxi's feelings for Rebecca. It was just a pity that Karina was instantly crushed, losing both her man and her career.
Su Youling awkwardly pushed him away. "Be careful in public. Didn't you go back to head office? Why did you suddenly come here?"
It must be Old Master Li from the head office who's causing trouble; his methods aren't easy to deal with.
I thought Li Tingxi would be gone for a long time this time.
Unexpectedly, he appeared in front of me in just one night.
Divine soldiers descended from the sky.
"This diversionary tactic was too obvious. I don't trust you to be alone." Looking at the shards of glass on the ground, Li Tingxi squeezed her hand tenderly. "If you ever want to hit someone, just tell me. Don't do it yourself. Especially not someone like that, understand?"
"I don't even care about such a minor character." Looking at the bloodshot eyes of Li Tingxi, Su Youling pursed her lips. "What's there to worry about?"

"Damn, that's incredibly stupid. At your age, still doing this kind of work, you're risking burnout."
Li Tingxi smiled, not angry at all at being scolded in front of so many people, but rather seemed quite happy. "Seeing how much you care, I'm not tired at all."
Everyone was speechless.
I just got a cold slap in the face with dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), and now I feel a bit strange!
Lu Mingxuan, who had been observing for a while, coughed and looked at the time, saying, "President Ding, isn't it about time? So many judges and contestants are waiting, let's not waste any more time."
Before the anticipated tragedy could occur, everything quietly calmed down.
His feelings toward Rebecca were now mixed.
It's such a pity that my former dream goddess was captured by Li Tingxi.
Previously, they thought that Li Tingxi was after Rebecca's face and was using coercion and enticement to make her a substitute for his ex-wife, which made him and the old man somewhat worried.
But after observing for a long time, he realized that it wasn't just Li Tingxi's wishful thinking about finding a substitute. Clearly, Rebecca was also willing.
What right does an outsider like him have to get involved?
The bidding process for the exhibition has finally begun.
According to the order of the draw, the Strange Kingdom is ranked fourth, which is relatively high.
Karina left the event at the last minute. The representative of Yitao Culture, who was also the project's vice president, drew a number near the bottom, whether due to bad luck or something else.
Looking at her competitor giving a speech on stage, Su Youling whispered to Li Tingxi beside her, "Is the Yitao Culture project really sending a vice president to give a speech? This guy looks unfamiliar, and we just discussed the classification of art exhibits..."
He didn't seem to know much about art exhibits or exhibition design.
Why would Karina bring an inexperienced director to such an important event?
A good design proposal needs to be presented by the core creative team to bring out its true essence and move people's hearts.
“This person looks familiar; he seems to be the newly promoted marketing director. Logically, I shouldn't have brought him to the art exhibition's design competition,” Li Tingxi said thoughtfully. “Initially, Karina was supposed to participate. Now…”
Su Youling glanced at him and said, "She was just knocked unconscious. You can go and pick her up from the hospital now. Given the order of appearance of Yitao Culture, there's plenty of time."
"Jealous?" Li Tingxi casually toyed with her fingers, then leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Miss Rebecca, I just made a vow in front of so many people, when will you marry me and become a real Mrs. Li?"
Whoosh!
Su Youling pulled her hand away and glared at him, "Don't give me that."
She leaned back lazily in her chair and said casually, "Don't make wild guesses, or you'll be proven wrong."
"Don't worry, I won't give you that chance." Li Tingxi took her small hand and kissed it. "It's your turn to go on stage."
Sighs and envious glances rose from all around, making the applause for the third speaker seem sparse.
Old Master Lu glanced over, frowned, and looked displeased. "Nonsense! What time is it and you're still flirting? Don't you know the place?"
Lu Mingxuan, sitting in the row behind his father, coughed lightly upon hearing the murmur, "Dad, as a judge, you should just keep your eyes on the stage. Why are you turning your head like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man glared at him, "Isn't it because you're useless? You got to know that person so..."

"After so many years, it was snatched away by Li Tingxi in just two days."
Lu Mingxuan "..."
Shocked and innocent.
Su Youling tidied herself up, took the USB drive and went on stage. Just as she finished projecting the plan, she caught a glimpse of Li Shi from Yitao Culture rushing over.
In terms of influence in the ceramics world, Master Li is now second only to a titan like Master Lu; ordinary masters are no match for him.
In particular, the product quality and image of Yitao Culture have improved dramatically in recent years under the leadership of Master Li's team. They have also successfully opened up the international market for art ceramics and have a significant influence in the industry.
His presence on the field is more influential and persuasive than Karina's.
It seems that Karina's injury has actually brought good fortune to Yitao Culture.
Similarly, the audience below thought the same thing.
Originally, after Karina was injured, everyone's hopes for Yitao Culture's victory plummeted, with almost 80% of people believing that Strange Kingdom would win.
First, everyone has seen Rebecca's strength before, and it is indeed outstanding; second, without strong competitors, victory is in sight.
However, when Master Li arrived, he was warmly welcomed by people in the industry. Many people stood up to exchange greetings and once again drew the attention of Yitao Culture to the victorious side.
As long as Li Tingxi doesn't act out of personal favoritism, there is still great hope for Yitao Culture.
Seeing how quickly those opportunists turned against her, Wen Xi frowned and couldn't help but cast a worried glance at Su Youling.
It was obvious to the naked eye that Old Master Lu was dissatisfied with the Strange Kingdom because of Lu Niao's matter, and Ding Muyan was full of bad intentions.
It's not impossible that some investors, dissatisfied with the recent conflict between Li Tingxi and Lingling, might secretly sabotage them.
