Li Yuanqing's last words did indeed have an effect. Li Zhonggeng paused in his actions, looked up at Li Yuanqing, and asked, "Has this news been confirmed as true or false?"
Li Duo's abilities are beyond question, and Li Zhonggeng naturally knows this as well; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted such a large undertaking as the Li family to Li Duo.
He is indeed punishing Li Duo now, letting Li Duo know that without the Li family, he is nobody.
If another group extends an olive branch to Li Duo, it would be tantamount to indirectly acknowledging Li Duo's abilities.
Then what's the point of his punishment?
Li Yuanqing immediately said, "Absolutely true!"
Li Zhonggeng nodded. "If that's the case, we definitely need to be on our guard."
He would never let Li Duo go anywhere else. He was too busy keeping such a talented person in his own family, so why would he let him go?
"In that case, we'll arrange things as you suggested, so he has something to do and won't be left to overthink things."
Li Yuanqing then took the opportunity to say, "Dad, I can't tell him about this yet. If I do, Li Duo might think I'm shirking responsibility."
"And lately he's been looking at me with disdain, and when I bring up these things in front of him, he just makes sarcastic remarks, thinking I'm pitying him and giving him charity. This only makes the conflict between my brother and me more intense."
"Why don't you talk to him about this yourself? That way he can communicate with you calmly. Since you've brought it up, it shows you value him, and he'll feel better about it."
"Furthermore, this is a crucial time in the custody battle. If he has nothing to do, he'll probably focus on the case. The sooner he gets to work, the sooner he'll stop overthinking things, which will actually make him feel better."
Li Zhonggeng once again felt that Li Yuanqing's words made a lot of sense.
He said, "You've thought this through very well. Then I'll talk to him myself!"
Li Yuanqing left Li Zhonggeng's office with a satisfied smile, the corners of his lips slightly upturned.
She was recently overwhelmed with problems regarding the Hongjiang project when fate gave her an opportunity, presenting it to her and allowing her to get rid of the mess.
If Li Duo messes up the Hongjiang matter, she can further solidify her position and status as the general manager of Li's Group.
As for Li Duo, this will only further damage his image within the board of directors.
Wen Shu received a call from Long Yin the next morning. She was somewhat surprised and said, "Postponing the engagement? Why? We agreed on that!"
On the phone, Long Yin said lazily, "My dad suddenly came to ask me about it today. Didn't I deliberately spread the word before? I guess my dad heard about that clone and came to ask me about it."
"He's furious right now. He feels like I'm completely disregarding them by jumping straight into the engagement process before even bringing her home and letting them meet her. Ugh, why is getting engaged so complicated? They're even criticizing my engagement! Why do they have the right to do that?"
Wen Shu felt a chill in her heart. How to put it? The engagement being postponed had indeed chilled her heart.
"My dad said that my marriage is not up to me. If I want to get engaged, I have to bring someone home, so the wedding has to be postponed. Why don't you come to my house today and let them see you first?"
Wen Shu's heart sank to rock bottom.
If the engagement date is delayed, then the influence will be weakened.
By getting engaged to Long Yin, she would gain some connection to the Long family. The Li family and the Nong family have a close relationship, and once she has this connection, the Li family will be more considerate in their actions.
But since she and Long Yin are not engaged, it means that their relationship is not peaceful and she can only be considered Long Yin's girlfriend. What else does the Li family have to worry about?
Wen Shu was so angry that she slammed the phone down.
It must be the Li family's doing!
In order not to offend the peasant family and to maintain a friendly relationship with them, the Li family deliberately sowed discord and forced Long Yin to postpone the engagement.
But if the engagement is postponed, then her engagement with Long Yin will lose its meaning.
What kind of pressure would getting engaged after the court hearing put on the Li family?
By then it would be too late!
Wen Shu hung up the phone, held her head, closed her eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
After taking a deep breath, Wen Shu took the initiative to call Li Duo.
When Li Duo received Wen Shu's call, he was quite surprised that Wen Shu had taken the initiative to call him!
He had thought he had been blocked by Wen Shu, but unexpectedly he received a call from her today, "Hello, Wen Shu."
On the phone, Wen Shu's voice sounded weak and listless, clearly indicating that she was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? The trial is about to start, are you worried? The legal team is already busy. From their perspective, the chances of winning are very high."
Wen Shu said, "Long Yin just called me and said that my engagement with him has been postponed."
The first person Li Duo thought of was Li Yuanqing. It must be Li Yuanqing who interfered and used some method to force Long Yin to postpone the wedding.
Actually, when Li Duo heard the news, he was secretly pleased.
He didn't want Wen Shu and Long Yin to be together, but he already knew that he had no standing in front of Wen Shu. Although he didn't want Wen Shu to get engaged to Long Yin, he didn't explicitly object.
After all, he simply didn't have the standing to oppose it.
However, the postponement of the engagement ceremony at this juncture means that Wen Shu's plan to leverage this opportunity has failed.
Li Duo said calmly, "Wen Shu, since that's the case, let's place our hopes on the lawyer."
