Chapter 249 The Academic Star Refuses to Be a Romantic Brain (19)



"Baba, could you..."

"A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed, and the same goes for a good leader. Forget about it, it's impossible."

"Why? What's so good about him? Is it just because he's an SSS-level person with great fortune?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"So, would you also unbind him after three failed missions?"

"Of course not, I couldn't bear to."

"This is not fair."

"Why don't you explain what fairness means?"

Listening to their conversation, Li Chen's emotions fluctuated wildly. His heart was filled with hatred for being tricked, but he had to try his best to suppress it and wanted to hear what other schemes and plots they had up their sleeves.

After the system unilaterally stopped the conversation, Li Chen heard his voice ring out in his mind again. He seemed a little surprised and shamelessly accused him: "When did you wake up? Why didn't you say anything? You were eavesdropping on our conversation."

Hearing him falsely accuse the leader, Li Chen sneered inwardly, his anger rising: "Just how many things have you been hiding from me?"

"Hey, you little brat, you're not even strong enough to handle my private affairs yet?"

Li Chen choked. He must be crazy to have fantasized about this insane system, but he couldn't forgive himself for almost actually "conquering" Ying Jiaojiao.

After a long pause, he announced maliciously, "I will make her pay for deceiving my feelings."

001 remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

"You go and pretend to be attached to her, let her try to win me over."

001: "You think you can boss me around? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

The debate raged on for over ten minutes before the bell finally rang.

Ying Jiaojiao called Li Chen softly as usual. He pretended to wake up, but didn't even look at her before leaving the classroom.

Although the prepared script went astray because Ying Jiaojiao suddenly became clever, it wasn't a big problem.

After a night, Li Chen completely embraced the role of a male protagonist in a tragic romance novel and began to betray Ying Jiaojiao, who had deceived his feelings.

001 warned him not to imitate those heart-wrenching, eye-gouging acts, and then almost disappeared, only issuing a few tasks every day as if it were a daily routine. Most of the time, he and Di Xiu shifted their focus to resolving the "family background" of the male and female protagonists.

The Ying family has done nothing to wrong Cheng Shuo. All they need to do is give up on Ying Jiaojiao. Even without using the system store, it's not difficult to do.

It's mainly the Li family.

Li Mu, whose real name is Liu Pei, spent more than ten years controlling her husband's company. She was just waiting for the two elders to die so that she could completely change the company's name and ownership. However, her husband, who had been a lazy bum and had no intention of turning his life around, suddenly wanted to interfere in the company and was determined to do so, which disrupted all her plans.

The company is facing a critical juncture with a major order, and she desperately needs to build connections through this deal. She can't just back out now, but her short-sighted husband is greedy for credit and wants to steal the deal to establish his authority.

Some of the company's shareholders also started making trouble one after another, and his son even got into an accident. It seemed like all sorts of upsetting things came out overnight.

She asked her father-in-law to deal with those thugs, but he took the opportunity to demand that she hand over her power. She felt a chill in her heart, and after hesitating, she didn't believe he would really risk his only grandson out of spite, so she didn't hand it over.

However, the deal was ultimately lost to the competitor. Her troublemaking husband immediately went as far away as possible, and her father-in-law also temporarily backed down, leaving her, who was on the verge of vomiting blood, to face criticism from all sides.

I finally managed to squeeze in some time to see my son amidst my busy schedule, but all I got was misunderstanding. After an argument, I started feeling weak all over that night and developed a low-grade fever.

She forced herself to hold on for a few days, not forgetting to check on her son's injuries, and sent people to teach the thugs who had hurt her son a lesson. Just as the company's affairs were being resolved, she finally ended up in the hospital.

Her father-in-law, who had abandoned the company and was no longer keeping up with the pace, and her husband, who was completely useless, took advantage of the situation and made a comeback. They quickly turned her company, which she had built up over many years, into a mess and ordered her to go back and clean up the mess before she was fully recovered.

The company was registered under those two people's names after all. Her subordinates struggled to keep it afloat, but to no avail, and several of them were even laid off.

None of the Li family members told Li Chen about these messy things. The father and son in the Li family were ashamed, while Liu Pei doted on her precious son, even though he had repeatedly broken her heart.

The company's public relations department suppressed the news online. In addition, several celebrities' scandals have recently been exposed, dominating all the headlines. Li Chen also had a mole in his life, so he didn't notice anything wrong at home from the news online.

Liu Pei went back to investigate who had instigated her husband and father-in-law, but to no avail. After some time wasted, she resumed tidying up the company.

She had no choice but to use the connections she had built up, but many people she had worked with in the past began to avoid her with various excuses, and her family completely ignored her, even though she had previously made a lot of money through cooperation.

A friend, feeling sorry for her, confided in her: "I don't know about other families, but in my family, the old man received an email telling us not to interfere, or else..."

The other person gave her a helpless look: "If I help you, I'll definitely get beaten to death. Your Li family must have offended someone. You should think about it again."

She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she decided to sit down and have a serious talk with her husband. As a result, he was caught red-handed by the police during an anti-prostitution raid while he was sleeping with a minor celebrity.

In marriages between wealthy families, as long as there are no scandals, the couples generally live separate lives. Liu Pei's only two requirements for her husband are that he not allow his mistresses to dance in front of her and that he not have any illegitimate children.

She felt that the huge corporation was like a pre-built house, with an invisible hand casually pulling out the building blocks, waiting for a certain critical point before the house would collapse completely.

Who exactly is it?
