Chapter 06 Severe Humiliation
Li Mingzhi took Jing Yi to the largest shopping mall in the city center. The two of them shopped and ate, sweeping all the way from the first floor to the seventh floor, like locusts passing through.
While shopping, Jing Yi discovered that the level of technology in this world was slightly higher than that in his previous life. The city was prosperous and clean, and high-end smart cars could be seen everywhere on the streets. Electronic products were changing with each passing day, and now they have developed to the point where real-life projections can be used for long-distance calls...
After a street walk, Grandma Jing was dazzled by this Grand View Garden.
"Housekeeper Jing, the clothes over there are nice, let's go and have a look." Li Mingzhi said.
"Young Master." Jing Yi shook the dozen shopping bags in his hand: "I really can't carry them anymore, let's go back."
I really want to rest, I really miss his Tangyuan bed.
Li Mingzhi insisted: "But the clothes in that store really suit you."
Jing Yi thought about it and reminded: "But I usually wear work clothes, and I may not have the opportunity to wear these clothes."
Li Mingzhi was silent for two seconds and accepted his statement: "Then buy it for my big brother."
Jing Yi: "Are you serious?"
The clothing store that Li Mingzhi pointed out mainly sells plush fabrics. The soft white and pink plush is comfortable to look at, but a cold and abstinent man like Li Wenzhao...isn't suitable for this style?
Jing Yi couldn't help but imagine the scene of Li Wenzhao wearing cute plush and winking and meowing at him.
Alas -
Butler Jing shuddered.
"No, let's go to the suit store next door." Li Mingzhi said: "Buy a suit as a gift, and ask big brother to send me a few people. I can't do it myself. Ning Jiang."
That does make sense.
Ning Jiang's brainwashing skills are top-notch. Li Mingzhi was originally an outstanding and smart young master, but since he met Ning Jiang, he was brainwashed into a stupid love-brained man. Now he has finally changed back to normal, and he is really worried if he is not seen by others.
The two entered the store, and Li Mingzhi picked out a black suit. The style was mature and steady, but the color was a little too dark, like a lifeless old scholar wearing it.
Jing Yi pointed to the side: "Take that one, it looks good."
It was a dark gray handmade suit, the fabric was slightly gathered at the waist, and the smooth lines slid neatly to the legs. Under the bright lights in the store, the hem and cuffs were dotted with faint and fragmented starlight, low-key and luxurious.
"Wow, Butler Jing, you have a good taste." Li Mingzhi was delighted: "My brother will look so handsome in this dress."
Jing Yi accepted the compliment with peace of mind.
His major in college was art, so this aesthetic is nothing.
Li Mingzhi also chose a classic dark pattern tie and lion cuffs, and went to the front desk to check out.
When paying, Li Mingzhi hesitated for a rare time: "Butler Jing, I use my brother's card to buy things for him, what does this count as?"
Jing Yi thought for a moment: "Take from the people and give back to the people?"
Li Mingzhi: "..."
After paying, Jing Yi called a runner to unload the shopping bag in his hand and send it back to Li's house, and then went to Li's with Li Mingzhi and took the newly bought clothes.
·

At 3:30 pm, Li Wenzhao just finished an international meeting and returned to the office accompanied by his secretary. He loosened his tie and asked, "What else do you have planned for the afternoon..."
Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
The desktop phone rang three times.
Li Wenzhao frowned. Since he came to the company, his phone has been receiving card swipe reminders. It has been two or three hours now, and it is still swiping?
Could Li Mingzhi have used all his money to support a liar?
Just as he was about to ask his secretary to check the expenditure details, the internal phone suddenly rang. Li Wenzhao answered the phone: "What's the matter?"
The front desk reported: "Boss Li, there are two gentlemen here, claiming to be your brother and housekeeper, but they didn't make an appointment."
"Let them come up."
After hanging up the phone, Li Wenzhao said: "Mingzhi is here, you go and pick him up. He has never been to the company, and I'm afraid he doesn't know where my office is."
"Okay." The capable secretary pushed his glasses, turned around and left with the documents.
As soon as he went out, he saw two young people coming out of the elevator side by side. They were of similar age, good-looking, and well-dressed. The secretary couldn't tell who was the young master of the Li family.
"You two." The secretary concealed the address and opened the door of the president's office. "Please come this way. President Li is waiting for you in the office."
It was the first time that Jing Yi saw the Li's Building in the novel, which was built on a prime location. The president's office was on the 45th floor, overlooking the surrounding mountains. The moment Jing Yi stepped out of the transparent elevator, his legs trembled a little.
He forgot that he was slightly afraid of heights.
Fortunately, he was not dressed as the president, otherwise he would have to curl up alone in the empty elevator every day and shiver.
Not a domineering president at all.
"Is my brother busy?" Li Mingzhi asked.
The secretary immediately confirmed who was the boss and who was the housekeeper, and said politely: "The president just finished a meeting and is not busy now. Young Master, Mr. Housekeeper, please."
Jing Yi glanced at the professional and cold secretary beside him, blinked, and remembered a plot.
[This is a loyal little secretary, honest and kind, and he even blocked a knife for the eldest master. Later, when the Li family went bankrupt, he still insisted on his post to repay the eldest master for his support. He is really a good person...]
Li Wenzhao slowly raised his head.
Li Mingzhi's eyes turned around the secretary and raised his lips: "Secretary Fan, this is the first time we meet, I will treat you to milk tea."
Li Mingzhi handed out the milk tea that he had just bought for Li Wenzhao.
Fan Ming was somewhat flattered and surprised, "Thank you, young master, but it's not convenient to drink during work. Thank you for your kindness."
"Okay then." Li Mingzhi didn't bother to argue and put it away obediently: "If you don't want it, just leave it to my brother."
"..."
After entering the room, Li Wenzhao was sitting in the tidy and spacious office, reading documents, cold and noble: "What do you want from me?"
Li Mingzhi told him what he needed, and Li Wenzhao frowned: "For this kind of thing, go to your second brother. He runs a security company. Doesn't he have any bodyguards?"
"That's right." Li Mingzhi scratched his head: "Butler Jing, then we came to the wrong place."
Jing Yi was looking at the fish tank by the wall. There were a few small fish that he couldn't name, each of which was very beautiful. He tapped his fingers on the glass wall of the tank and played with the fish back and forth.
He was suddenly cueed, and he immediately withdrew his hand and continued subconsciously: "Yeah, yes, we shouldn't have come."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Three lines of sight swept over from different angles.
Jing Yi:!
Tighten your toes, could it be that he was discovered playing with the fish just now?
Li Wenzhao sneered, signed the document in his hand and handed it to the secretary, "Butler Jing, go make a cup of tea."
Jing Yi didn't understand. Not even a secretary was enough to order him around. Is this the life habit of the top bosses?
He looked around and found a water table next to the huge French window that is standard for a president. Tea sets and tea leaves were all available, and the teapot was still warm with delicious tea. He quickly poured a cup and handed it to Li Wenzhao.
"President, this is your afternoon schedule." Fan Ming checked the timetable, "There is a dinner with the president of Qin at 4 o'clock, a work report from the subsidiary at 5 o'clock, and at 7 o'clock in the evening, it is Mr. Xie's birthday banquet..."
Jing Yi's hands trembled. Wow.
Whose birthday banquet? Mr. Xie?
Jing Yi was shocked. This is a big plot in the original book.
Li Wenzhao was accidentally drugged at Mr. Xie's son's birthday banquet. The vicious official partner took advantage of the opportunity and had a night of love with Li Wenzhao. The next day, the headlines of major headlines published the news that the two were exposed.
Readers who have read the original novel know that the so-called drugging and exposure are just a play directed and performed by the vicious official partner, with the purpose of gaining Li Wenzhao's trust and trying to disintegrate the huge Li family from within.
How did this big plot come so soon?
Jing Yi was thinking about how to deal with the crisis, and suddenly heard Li Wenzhao's gritting teeth: "...Jing Yi!"
"Huh?" Jing Yi was startled.
Wow, the warm tea splashed on Li Wenzhao's leg again.
"..."
"..." Li
Wenzhao was so angry that he couldn't be angry anymore: "Butler Jing!"
Jing Yi was frightened by his tone and shook the rest of the tea.
"..."
"..."
It's soaked.
Fortunately, Li Mingzhi was very perceptive. Seeing his elder brother's expression change, he immediately handed over the newly bought suit, "Don't be angry, elder brother. We bought you new clothes. Butler Jing personally selected them. They look very nice."
Li Wenzhao smiled and said, "So you wet my clothes just to show your courtesy in getting new clothes?"
And he suspected that he used his card to pay?
Jing Yi was shocked: "There is no causal relationship between these two things!"
Li Wenzhao stood up with his hands wet, took the clothes that Li Mingzhi handed over with both hands, and sneered: "What else could it be? Do you have a friendship with Mr. Xie, and you get excited when you hear his name?"
Jing Yi thought for a while and said, "Yeah, that's right."
[Speaking of friendship, can I go with him? 】
Li Wenzhao sneered: "You think so——"
【After all, the birthday banquet is a disaster, a prelude to the collapse of the Li family. If I don't go, what will happen if Li Wenzhao steps on all the traps? 】
【Alas, being a housekeeper is so busy... worrying】
"..."
Li Wenzhao's eyebrows jumped, and he almost changed his mouth: "...Mingzhi, get him some clothes, go to the dinner together, don't dress too shabby and embarrass the Li family."
Li Mingzhi just came back to his senses from the change from the birthday banquet to the Hongmen banquet: "...Oh, okay."
Li Wenzhao's eyes turned around Jing Yi, and then looked at Fan Ming. There was no strange expression on the other's face, and he didn't pay too much attention to the housekeeper Jing.
...So, he can't hear?
The little housekeeper's supernatural objects seem to be limited, and can only be expanded within the scope of the Li family.
It's better this way, so that I won't be arrested as a mental patient.

Ten minutes later, Fan Ming had already ironed the new clothes and brought them neatly into Li Wenzhao's exclusive dressing room, with a steady posture: "President, please."
Fan Ming is indeed a professional secretary-general, he speaks and handles things in a smooth and appropriate manner, and his thoughtfulness makes people feel at ease.
[Wow, such a strong working ability! ]
Jing Yi couldn't help but sigh.
[So this is the standard top secretary of the domineering president. I wonder how much this kind of secretary gets paid a month...]
Hearing this, Li Wenzhao paused, took off his coat and threw it on the chair, and said to Fan Ming: "Secretary Fan, notify the personnel..."
Fan Ming took out a memo pad and started writing.
Li Wenzhao: "Starting from next month, your salary will increase by 20,000."
Fan
Ming's pen swished heavily on the paper, and he took a while to react, "Yes, thank you, President Li."
[Wow, 20,000, 20,000, 20,000 yuan! Just perming a piece of clothing costs 20,000 yuan! It turns out that the bosses spend money like water. ]
[So, I actually gave President Li a slight perm just now...]
Li Wenzhao's face darkened: "Butler Jing."
Jing Yi stood up in a second: "I'm here~"
The bosses treat everyone equally. If you don't look at the slight perm, look at his hard work in picking clothes. Is
his salary also increased by 20,000? OvO
Li Wenzhao knew what he was thinking without having to guess. He shook off the water on his tie and said in a cold tone: "You ruined my clothes. How do you think I should punish you?"
Differential treatment!
This is naked job discrimination!
Jing Yi pursed his lips and thought seriously: "Use money to humiliate me?" Li
Wenzhao: "..." Li
Mingzhi: "..." Fan
Ming: "..."
Two seconds later, Jing Yi and Li Mingzhi were driven out of the office.
Standing outside the closed door, Li Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Butler Jing, how dare you talk back to my eldest brother?"
Jing Yi: "Did I talk back?"
The atmosphere was always good, he and Li Wenzhao just had a friendly conversation.
"Forget it." Li Mingzhi shook his head: "Don't think about it, let's go buy clothes."
Jing Yi: "Buy again?!"
"You have to wear formal clothes for the birthday banquet." Li Mingzhi asked: "Butler Jing, do you have any?"
Jing Yi shook his head: "No."
"Then let's go down, it's still time to try on clothes and do your hair."
·

Three hours later, the two people finished dressing up, and Li Wenzhao's car also arrived outside the store.
Fan Ming was driving the car, Jing Yi sat in the co-pilot seat in a proper manner, and the two brothers Li Wenzhao sat in the back seat.
"Brother." Li Mingzhi said to Li Wenzhao as soon as he got in the car: "We didn't bring any gifts. Would it be rude to go like this?"
Li Wenzhao looked through the documents and
said nothing. "Young Master, the president has prepared everything. You can bring it in when you get off the car." As he said that, Fan Ming tilted his head and glanced at Jing Yi: "Butler Jing and I are both accompanying personnel, so there is no need to prepare gifts."
Jing Yi curled his lips: "What a humane rule."
"..."
Jing Yi bought the small dress with his own credit card. He swiped his card and spent several months' salary. The clothes can only be worn once. He was so distressed. If it weren't for preventing the Li family from going to ruin, he really couldn't bear to do it.
If he had to buy more expensive gifts, he would have to go out and starve in the future.
Li Wenzhao looked straight ahead, his attention occasionally attracted by a touch of white on the co-pilot's car.
For some reason, he always felt that Butler Jing was more lively and dazzling than when he first joined the company, but upon closer inspection, there was clearly no change.
The butler had excellent facial features and fair skin, and a black suit made his face look fair and delicate. From his perspective, he could also see the slightly bulging little meat bag on his face, which bulged when he spoke, like a small animal.
At this time, the car suddenly passed a shock absorber, and Jing Yi was bumped, and his head hit the glass.
After a while, a voice came to his ear.
[Ahhhhh it hurts! How can it hurt so much when a luxury car hits someone! Hiss... I'm considered an outworker, and I don't know if there is any compensation for work injuries. 】
【In order to protect the Li family, I was seriously injured. I am really a good housekeeper who does my job well. I wonder if I can trick the chef into making a plate of cola chicken wings tonight...】
Li Wenzhao: "..."
What's so cute, this is just a drama queen who likes to act crazy and is greedy for money.
He looks well-behaved, but in fact, it's all a lie.
·
·
Half an hour later, the car drove to the gate of Xie's house. Knowing that Li Wenzhao was coming, Mr. Xie went to the gate to greet him in person.
Li Wenzhao got out of the car, stood by the car and buttoned his suit, and glanced at Jingyi: "Didn't you say you wanted to meet Mr. Xie, why didn't you say hello."
Jingyi shook her head reservedly: "It's been a long time since we last met, the old man should not remember me."
?
Do you really know Mr. Xie? Li
Wenzhao was stunned: "How did you know each other?"
The housekeeper began to ask: "We are neighbors, we both live under the same blue sky, we both like to breathe oxygen, we have never known each other since we were young, he played at his house, I played at mine."
Li Wenzhao: "..." What
a good one, we played separately.
It's been a long time since we last met, I haven't seen you in this life.
