Just then, Li Muqing's phone rang.
Seeing that the contact name on her phone was "Grandpa," she immediately stubbed out her cigarette and waved to the monkey.
The assistant, Monkey, understood and turned to leave the private room.
Only after the room door was closed did Li Muqing press the answer button.
A stern voice came from the other end of the phone: "What are you doing out there? Come back right now." There was a hint of reproach in his words.
When talking to her grandfather, Li Muqing instantly transformed into a well-behaved and clever granddaughter, speaking softly: "Okay, Grandpa, I'll be right back."
Li Muqing rushed home and saw her grandfather sitting on the living room sofa with a stern face as soon as she entered the door.
Grandpa pointed to the seat opposite, and Li Muqing obediently sat down.
Grandpa said sternly, "Look at the state you've become! Smoking, playing mahjong, drinking, and hanging out with shady characters."
Li Muqing lowered her head and explained softly, "Grandpa, those are all business partners. Sometimes it's unavoidable when it comes to socializing."
Grandpa snorted coldly: "Our family business doesn't need to be maintained in this way. I only entrusted the Nicole Group to you because I saw that you were smart and farsighted."
"Although the Nicole Group is not the main business of our Li family, it brings us a lot of profit every year. You had better manage it carefully, otherwise if it causes dissatisfaction among other shareholders, you will lose your job as chairman."
Li Muqing became anxious, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong, I will change."
Hearing that his granddaughter's attitude in admitting her mistake was good, the grandfather's expression softened slightly.
"Although our Li family is still the most powerful family in Beijing, we have lost a lot of assets in the business world due to our fierce battles with the Wang family over the past decade,"
"At the same time, in the past few years, we have lost several important positions in the officialdom, and these positions were all taken by the Wang family. If your generation does not work hard, I'm afraid that in a few years, the Wang family will surpass our Li family."
For nearly a century, the Li family has firmly held the position of the most powerful family in Beijing, a position that is as solid as a rock and unshakeable.
However, if the Li family were to be surpassed by others under his leadership, it would be an utter disgrace to him and something he would absolutely not tolerate!
The capital city today is a place of constant change and numerous powerful families. Among them, the most prominent are the four great families: the Li family, the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Liu family.
Whether in the turbulent business arena or the complex political arena, these four companies each have their own power base and firmly occupy crucial positions.
Moreover, because these four large families were numerous and had many members, they had almost monopolized all the best resources in the capital.
As for the slightly lower-ranking positions and some limited resources, they fell into the hands of some families that were ranked relatively low.
In this way, if children from ordinary families want to rise above others and achieve upward social mobility through their own unremitting efforts, they can probably only dream about it during the day.
Even if a few exceptional individuals emerge, they will try to make you one of their own, otherwise you are not considered human.
When Li Muqing heard her grandfather mention that the Wang family might surpass the Li family, she couldn't help but show a look of disdain, without even a hint of belief.
She raised her chin slightly and said firmly, "Grandpa, if there are no other important matters to instruct me, I will go and handle the relevant affairs of Nicole Beauty Group first. I will do my best to ensure that Nicole Group's stock price stops falling and starts to rise tomorrow."
Grandpa waved his hand: "Go ahead, you must resolve this matter within three days and minimize the losses. Grandpa believes you have the ability to handle it without any problem."
Li Muqing stood up and assured him, "Don't worry, Grandpa. If this matter can't be resolved in three days, I will voluntarily resign from my position as chairman." With that, she turned and left the villa.
The following day, Nicole Group's stock continued to fall, dropping from 70 yuan per share to only 30 yuan per share, a direct halving.
Li Muqing drove leisurely towards the Tian Ting Golf Course. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, as if time was no problem for her.
Finally, the car arrived at its destination. Li Muqing got out of the car gracefully and walked with light steps toward Wang Sicheng, who was swinging his golf club.
Although there was still some distance between them, Wang Sicheng's keen nose had already caught a whiff of a strong perfume scent. The fragrance drifted gently on the breeze, like a wisp of smoke, quietly entering his nostrils.
Just by smelling that familiar perfume, Wang Sicheng immediately knew that the person who had come was Li Muqing.
He was originally focused on the distant hole, preparing to swing again, but a sense of curiosity arose in his heart—why did this wicked woman want to see him today? He hadn’t offended her recently!
Just then, Li Muqing had already walked up behind Wang Sicheng.
At this moment, Wang Sicheng seemed to be deliberately trying to show that he was absent-minded, and casually swung the cue stick in his hand.
Unfortunately, the shot did not go as he hoped; the small white golf ball veered off course and missed the hole.
However, Wang Sicheng didn't even bother to turn his head, and directly asked Li Muqing behind him, "Sister Qing, you came here to see me so early in the morning, there must be something important, right?"
Li Muqing took off her sunglasses, walked up to him, looked directly at Wang Sicheng, and said calmly, "Third Young Master, let's talk?"
Wang Sicheng: "???"
He looked puzzled; he had no business dealings with her, so what was there to talk about?
