i Bochen saw Luo Ningxi wearing an apron, looking at him gratefully. He pretended to be nonchalant and pulled up a chair and sat down."You're being so kind for no reason. What is it you need help with...Mr. Li looked at Li Jianbin, a few meaningful glances flashed in his eyes, “Alright, I’ll go there too.”

“Alright then, Dad, get some rest. I’ll head back now.”

Having achieved his objective, Li Jianbin didn't linger any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he departed from the old house.

After he left, Chen Ming walked into the study from outside with medicine in hand and respectfully said, "Mr. Li, it's time for you to take your medicine."

Elder Li slammed his teacup down and scoffed, "You heard it outside just now, didn't you I told you the eldest wouldn't let this go. He didn't mention the bar incident at all, but instead had me sit in at the company to sign contracts. It's clearly a way to make Fourth Brother unable to back down."

Chen Ming had no expression as he placed the medicine by the old man's hand. "Mr. Li, since you already know that Shengshi is impossible to sign a contract with Li Corporation, why did you agree to go"

Mr. Li chuckled lightly, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. He took the medicine Chen Ming handed him and drank it in one gulp. "The fourth son just returned to the company and made such a big scene. I can't wait to see how they end up."

……

The next day, Li Jianbin and Li Jiancheng just arrived at the company and saw that Li Bochen's workstation was empty. They couldn't help but smile at each other.

As they returned to the office together, Li Jiancheng took out his phone and called Li Bochen directly.

The phone rang for a moment before being picked up. A low, gravelly voice, laced with impatience, spoke, "Who is it! Get to the point!"

"Lao Si, I'm your second older brother. Why didn't you come to work today How was the reception for Mr. Mo yesterday When are you planning to sign the contract"

Li Bochen remained silent for a while.

A brief silence, in Li Jianbin and Li Jiancheng's eyes, had become a sign of guilty conscience.

Li Jianbin also spoke in a calm voice, his tone concealing an air of superiority, "Yes, Lao Si, when did Mr. Mo say he'd be here We can prepare the meeting room in advance."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, why are you so anxious My brother and I drank with Mr. Mo until very late yesterday, and we can only go to sign the contract tomorrow."

"Could you be here tomorrow Teacher's efficiency is really impressive. No wonder Dad values you the most."

Li Jiancheng almost laughed out loud, praising in a yin-yang manner, "Fourth brother, you should just take a good rest at home today, recuperate and gather your strength. Tomorrow, we'll aim to win the cooperation with Heshi World Group..."

"Alright, that's it."

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Li Bochen hung up the phone directly.

Li Jiancheng wasn't angry, instead he couldn't help but chuckle as he put his phone back in his pocket. "Big brother, our people clearly saw him arguing loudly with Mr. Mo yesterday. Mr. Mo left angrily. When did he start drinking with others until so late"

"I think this guy just messed things up and can't get off the hook. He's making up excuses to fool us."

Li Jianbin also rarely smiled, "I want to see who he'll find to sign a contract with him tomorrow!"

……

The next day, Li Jianbin drove back to his old house to pick up Mr. Li before coming to the company.

Li Jiancheng also had someone clean up the conference room early, just waiting for people from Shengshi Group to come over and sign the contract.

In the meeting room.

Mr. Li, the elder, sat at the front of the conference table, exuding an air of authority without raising his voice. Sitting behind him were Li Jianbin, Li Jiancheng, and some other important executives of the company.

Time ticked by, everyone was on edge, waiting with bated breath, but Li Bochen still hadn't shown up!

Li Jiancheng glanced at the time on his watch, a cunning gleam flashing in his eyes. "It's already this late, why hasn't Lao Si arrived yet Did something happen"

Li Jianbin snorted coldly, deliberately raising his voice, "This fourth brother is getting more and more excessive. Making Dad and so many people in the company wait for him here!"

Mr. Li's face wasn't looking good either, and he said in a low voice, "Second brother, give the fourth brother a call and ask when he'll be here."

Li Jiancheng spread his hands, "Dad, I've called several times already, the fourth brother doesn't answer."

"I reckon he was trying to be a hero before, but ended up messing things up. The cooperation fell through, and now he has no face to return." Li Jianbin spoke coldly, glancing at his grandfather's expression.

As expected, the moment his words left his mouth, the old man's face grew even darker!

The conference room was eerily silent, the only sound being Master Li's deep voice, laced with boundless fury!

"Wouldn't you have said something if it wasn't going to work out Making everyone wait here like this is really inconsiderate!"

Li Jianbin and Li Jiancheng each had their own ulterior motives, but their hearts were both inexplicably excited.

"Dad, please don't get angry first. The fourth one definitely wouldn't really go too far..."

"Whoosh—"

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, the door to the conference room was suddenly flung open from outside!

All eyes were focused on the entrance of the conference room.

Li Boheng, dressed in a noble tailored suit, strode confidently before the crowd.

"You're all here so early! I just told someone to bring some things over, that's why I'm free now."

Li Bochen's cold and sharp gaze swept over Li Jianbin and Li Jiancheng in front of him, disdainfully raising his lip, "I don't know what the two Mr. Lis are doing with such a big fuss, even bringing Dad here. You'd think you were signing a contract with Shengshi Group."d again, "It's fine if it's inconvenient, I'm just a little disappointed...""Zhiqin."Before Luo Zhiqin could finish, Yu Chengnan interrupted her.He walked forward slowly, staring intently into her eye...
