Chapter 955: Chapter 996: Business Goals

Upon arriving at Li Yifei’s office, Li Yifei immediately rolled his eyes at Ning Xin’er, who in turn asked in puzzlement, "Honey, what’s that look for? Did I do something wrong?"

Li Yifei replied irritably, "You did too well, didn’t you see all those people staring at you? Can’t you just walk normally? Why do you have to walk so attractively?"

Ning Xin’er paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, leaning halfway over Li Yifei’s back, her eyes brimming with mirth as she said, "Husband, are you jealous of me?"

Li Yifei responded displeased, "Who wouldn’t be upset with their wife getting so much attention?"

By now, Ning Xin’er’s mood was indescribably good. Li Yifei’s jealousy meant he was falling for her more and more. "So what do you want me to do? I’m used to walking this way; if you ask me to change, I wouldn’t even know how."

"Just act like you used to when I first met you, all crazy and frivolous, then you wouldn’t attract so much attention."

Ning Xin’er made a face and said, "Act crazy and frivolous like before? Husband, I was young then. Now I have a four-year-old daughter; I can’t be like that anymore."

Li Yifei patted Ning Xin’er’s buttocks lightly with the back of his hand and said, "Alright, I was just speaking off the cuff. My wife is so beautiful; how could any man not want to take a second look? If I were to get jealous every day, no matter how big a vat of vinegar I had, it wouldn’t be enough."

"Really?" Ning Xin’er leaned entirely on Li Yifei’s back, peeking her head over his shoulder, smiling affectionately at him.

Li Yifei glanced at Ning Xin’er and said, "Alright, I lied. But there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s not like I can gouge out people’s eyes just because they look at you, right?"

"Giggle, husband, I’m falling for you more and more," Ning Xin’er said, planting a kiss on Li Yifei’s face and laughing heartily.

Li Yifei kissed her back and said fondly, "Okay, stop messing around. Here you’re my assistant, not my wife. Go and sit properly."

Ning Xin’er obediently took her seat, and Li Yifei got down to his work as well. He had been quite serious about his job lately. After a while, Li Yifei turned his head to look at Ning Xin’er and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Ning Xin’er, elbows on the desk and hands supporting her cheeks, said with a smile, "My husband looks really handsome when he’s serious about his work."

Li Yifei smiled, handed her a document, and pointed to the computer beside him, saying, "Go reply to the recruitment emails on the computer and keep a record."

Ning Xin’er immediately responded energetically, "Okay, I’ll make sure to do a good job."

Ning Xin’er had indeed been quite idle lately. Back when she was a celebrity, she was always running around, but since being with Li Yifei, life had been exceedingly comfortable. While she initially enjoyed it, inactivity soon led to restlessness, especially seeing everyone in the household busy with their own affairs, and she felt the need to find something to occupy herself.

That morning, both Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er worked diligently. Several employees came in to ask for instructions on their tasks, and Li Yifei made arrangements for them.

As for those sneaking glances at Ning Xin’er, it was an inevitable issue; Li Yifei could only pretend not to notice.

During a lull, Li Yifei made a couple of calls to arrange for someone to investigate Gu Yandong. Around noon, Li Yifei received a phone call from Qiu Jiming, inviting him out for a meal, to which Li Yifei promptly agreed.

In a restaurant not far from the office building, Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er met with Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai.

As soon as they sat down in the private room, Qiu Jiming apologized to Li Yifei, "President Li, I’m really sorry about what happened yesterday. We genuinely intended to network with President Xu, but Sunx Nenghui insisted on making us mediators. As longtime friends, we wanted to help smooth things over, but who knew Sunx Nenghui would do such a thing."

Qian Shengcai added, "President Li, we were truly blindsided. Otherwise, we would have never done such a thing. We are still looking for opportunities to collaborate with you. How could we think of harming your wife? It was all Sunx Nenghui’s manipulation, but of course, we also failed to see people’s true colors and almost caused harm to your wife. We bear undeniable responsibility."

Both men were prominent executives in Mile City, so much so that a single stomp could send tremors through the city. To see them humbly seeking Li Yifei’s forgiveness was indeed a rare sight.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "I trust both presidents, and I won’t hold you accountable for this matter."

To prosper in Mile City, Li Yifei couldn’t afford to make enemies everywhere. Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai were both influential presidents, and cooperating with them could bring him many benefits. Moreover, since they were unaware of the incident, blaming them would be pointless. If he did blame them, it would be all too easy to make two new enemies.

"President Li is indeed magnanimous!" Qiu Jiming lifted his glass and said, "Then let’s toast to President Li."

Qian Shengcai immediately raised his glass as well and said, "We owe President Li a favor this time. If there’s anything we can do for you in the future, just one word from you, and we’ll be there without hesitation."

Li Yifei smiled slightly, picked up his glass, and said, "You’re too kind, presidents. In the future, there will still be plenty of opportunities for us to make money."

These words made Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai even happier. Not only had they achieved their goal of having Li Yifei overlook their past grievances, but to develop a close relationship with him because of this incident was an unexpected bonus.

The three of them drained their glasses in one gulp, then all laughed heartily, instantly lightening the atmosphere.

"President Li, you haven’t introduced us to this beautiful lady," Qian Shengcai said to Li Yifei with a suggestive wink.

For these presidents, having a mistress was quite normal. They often brought them to various social events, sometimes as a show of status, a necessity they couldn’t do without. They all knew that Li Yifei’s wife was Xu Yingying, so naturally, the woman accompanying Li Yifei must be his mistress.

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "I suppose you two should recognize her?"

Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai hadn’t paid much attention to Ning Xin’er earlier, also due to Li Yifei bringing her in, they hadn’t felt it was appropriate to scrutinize her. But upon Li Yifei’s prompt, they took a closer look at Ning Xin’er, and then Qiu Jiming immediately said in confusion, "She looks familiar."

Qian Shengcai looked at Ning Xin’er again and suddenly said, "Isn’t this Ning Xin’er?"

Ning Xin’er smiled softly and said, "Hello, presidents," as she took off her sunglasses.

"It really is you." Both Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai were taken aback, then they gave a thumbs up to Li Yifei and said, "President Li is truly the man!"

Li Yifei indeed felt quite proud at that moment. Although it wasn’t something he cared about, the attitude from the two men was something that could make any man feel proud.

Ning Xin’er, brought along by Li Yifei, knew that he didn’t intend to conceal her identity from these two men, so she affectionately looped her arm through Li Yifei’s and said, "I’m not much of a superstar now; just a little woman by my husband’s side."

This declaration made Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai admire Li Yifei even more. To them, Ning Xin’er might be modest in Li Yifei’s presence, but to others, she was still a dazzling star. The prospect of getting close to Ning Xin’er was a dream for countless men. With her status, beauty, and pure maiden image, it would have been easy for her to marry into wealth, but now she was simply a woman supporting Li Yifei, which was a testament to his remarkable ability.

Moreover, at the last social gathering, Li Yifei had brought both Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er. Xu Yingying was there as his wife, but Ning Xin’er never left his side. At the time, everyone thought Ning Xin’er was just a friend of Su Mengxin, but it now seemed very likely that Xu Yingying knew of Ning Xin’er’s existence. This highlighted Li Yifei’s capabilities even more—having a mistress was one thing, but to have his mistress and wife coexist harmoniously was quite an impressive feat.

Ning Xin’er was quite adept in social settings. Acting as an accompaniment to Li Yifei, she played a significant role in keeping the mood light, and everyone enjoyed the meal that much more.

"President Qiu, Manager Qian, you’ve known Sunx Nenghui for a long time. Could you give me a detailed introduction to Tianli Group?" After taking a sip of his drink, Li Yifei casually asked.

Qiu Jiming and Qian Shengcai knew Li Yifei was targeting Sunx Nenghui, but they candidly disclosed everything they knew. Firstly, they were intimidated by Li Yifei’s formidable reputation, and secondly, they were frustrated that Sunx Nenghui had used them to provoke Li Yifei. If Li Yifei’s wrath was directed at them, they would face significant trouble. Sunx Nenghui had indeed caused them harm, so they had no more face to save for him.

Li Yifei listened intently, already formulating a plan. To deal with Sunx Nenghui, he couldn’t rely on martial strength as before. Instead, he wanted to use business tactics to take over Tianli Group, leaving Sunx Nenghui with nothing. This would be the ultimate revenge. Moreover, acquiring a large corporate group would not only boost his financial power but also serve as valuable experience in business maneuvers.

Sunx Nenghui was intent on revenge but was oblivious to the fact that his stubborn refusal to correct his son’s wrongdoings had made his company a prime target for Li Yifei.
