Chapter 724 Like teasing a dog
Her indifference and disdain left Li Xiao with nowhere to vent his anger, making him appear even more like a powerless rage.
No one would agree to a 30% net profit, as it is practically an unequal treaty, and agreeing to it would be a great humiliation for the Li family.
Li Xiao stared at Shen Ci. At this moment, he had no other thoughts about Shen Ci. His eyes were pure and full of hatred!
Without saying a word, he turned and walked out.
After he left, Shen Ci's smile widened. She suddenly found it very amusing; seeing Li Xiao jumping up and down was always quite entertaining.
She can completely break him down with just a few words, or sometimes without doing anything at all.
Like teasing a dog!
"Junior, what if the Li family really agrees to your conditions?" Ge Youcai suddenly asked.
The others all looked at him: "That Li family member must have gone mad."
Shen Ci shrugged: "Then let them use it. As we just said, we're not against money. The reason the cooperation hasn't been finalized is obviously because they haven't offered enough."
"If you offer enough, we're willing to compromise."
If you give them 30% of the net profit, and then deduct other costs, the Li family will probably make no profit at all.
Glancing at the time, Shen Ci stood up and clapped her hands: "All employees are here today. I've already booked the seats at 'Yunshang Tiangong.' It's almost time, so let's leave early today."
““Yunshang Tiangong”?” Luo Tianrui asked curiously, “Don’t we always go to “Shuiyun Jian”?”
The others also looked at Shen Ci, who could only offer a Versailles-like explanation: "I just completed the acquisition of 'Yunshang Tiangong,' so both are now mine. From now on, we'll alternate between the two places for our get-togethers, to change things up."
Everyone wore expressions of shock and speechlessness...

"Jingjie" branch.
The branch store has just opened, and there's a lot to do. Shen Jingjing has been busy at the branch store recently.
In the evening, Shen Yingying knocked on her sister's office door, carrying a thermos lunchbox.
“I noticed you haven’t been in good spirits lately, and you’ve lost a lot of weight. I guess you haven’t been in the mood to cook or eat properly, so He Bin made some of your favorite dishes at home.”
As Shen Yingying spoke, she placed the dishes from the lunchbox one by one on the table.
There are "soy sauce chicken", "bitter melon stir-fried with eggs" and "lotus root and pork rib soup", with rice and a piece of jujube cake on the bottom layer.
"Eat more. It's all in the past now, and Ali is doing very well. Don't think about it anymore," Shen Yingying comforted her.
Shen Jingjing smiled slightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all."
“What are you talking about? At first, He Bin and I were so worried that we couldn’t sleep at night. Let alone you, as the mother.” Shen Yingying sighed with heartache. “But fortunately, Ali is sensible, and Aci handled the aftermath very well. I think this matter should be over now.”
Shen Jingjing nodded, not wanting her younger sister to worry too much, and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
"It must have been tough for He Bin, making 'soy sauce chicken' as well."
“He’s very happy. He hasn’t found a suitable job yet, and he’s hoping I can give him something to do. He went to the market early this morning to buy a live chicken and slaughtered it on the spot when he got back.”
It's a habit he's developed over decades. When he was running the shop, he had high standards for ingredients, and now that he's not running the shop, he still wants fresh ingredients.
"Sister, did you transfer that money to Chengcheng?" Shen Yingying asked casually.
“I transferred it. He wrote an IOU before I transferred it. Otherwise, my mom would call eight times a day, which would be so annoying.”
"Ali's matter caused quite a stir, didn't she ask about it?"
Shen Jingjing chuckled and shook her head: "Besides arranging blind dates for me and asking for money, when has she ever taken the initiative to care about my sister and me?"
Shen Yingying pouted: "That's true, I don't even remember the last time she called me on her own initiative."
"That's good too. It's rare to have some peace and quiet. You can just live a good life with He Bin in secret right now. That's better than anything else."
That makes sense.
As the two sisters were talking, there was a knock on the office door, and the receptionist came in, still holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Sister Jingjing, these are Mr. Fei's flowers."
Shen Yingying looked at her sister with a puzzled expression, only to see Shen Jingjing say helplessly, "Just put it on the table by the door."
The employee seemed used to it; he put it down and left.
"Sister, what's going on?" Shen Yingying widened her eyes and stood in front of the bouquet of flowers.
A large bouquet of fiery red roses, each one vibrant and incredibly fresh, accompanied by a card that read: "Jingjing, please give us another chance."
"That's the situation." Shen Jingjing knew what was written on the card without even looking at it.
Because these days, Fei Yunzong sends her a bouquet of flowers every day, and the cards are all begging her to give him a chance.
I sent him a message, and he just said that he wouldn't give up as long as I didn't start a new relationship.
However, Fei Yunzong was very sensible in other matters. Before Shen Jingjing agreed, he did not overstep any boundaries or harass her, except for sending her a bouquet of flowers every day.
"I think this guy is quite devoted, sis, why don't you give it another try?"
"Don't get involved, Aci won't agree anyway."
"Don't you have any other eligible middle-aged single men around you?" Shen Yingying put down the card and sat back down. "With your current conditions, it shouldn't be hard to find one, right?"
"I'm incredibly busy right now, the branch office just opened and there's a ton of stuff to do." Shen Jingjing didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she changed the subject and looked at her sister, asking, "Have you thought it through? Come help me out?"
“I’ll definitely come if you’re too busy. I’ll come and learn from you after I go abroad with Ali in a couple of days.”
Just then, the internal phone on the desk rang.
Both of them were startled. Shen Jingjing put down her chopsticks and answered, "Sister Jingjing, there is a lady at the front desk who wants to learn about our company's business and then customize regular home cleaning services."
"Then take her to see the head of the business team."
"This lady says she wants to talk to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing said, "Okay, then you take her to the reception room first, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingjing felt a little strange. The company's business was handled by a dedicated department, and she had never encountered anyone who specifically asked to talk to her.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yingying asked curiously.
"A client is here. Come with me; it'll be a good opportunity to learn about the company's business."
In the reception room, Wen Shuyi gracefully sat down on the sofa. Ever since entering "Jingjie", she had been curiously looking around. If it weren't for Yuanliang's matter, she probably would never have had the chance to step into a cleaning company in her life.
The old man was anxious, and since she was the eldest sister-in-law and the only woman in the family, the task of meeting Shen Jingjing fell to her.
