"Hmph, do you think you have a choice?"

Xiaofan scared Liu Qiqi with a remark, and just then saw Li Kuo coming out of the room.

"Xiaofan, I'm going to sleep first. Tomorrow, please wake me up."

"Okay."

Li Kuo still wore a sad expression. Besides being a bit worried when Xiaofan first came back injured, Li Kuo didn't show any emotions on the surface most of the time.

"Everyone go to sleep, tomorrow let's handle the important business," Xiaofan said, then walked back to his room.

The others dispersed as well. This issue wasn't over—there were more problems than just some assassins.

"Hey, why are you all going to sleep? What about me? Hey, hey..." Liu Qiqi shouted.

"There are so many rooms, pick any you like."

"Alright, then I'll choose yours..."

Speaking of which, this woman's vision is quite impressive. After all, she's been mingling in this circle for so many years and is good at spotting who has power.

So among all these people, of course, she wanted to curry favor with Xiaofan. If she managed to latch onto someone wealthy, she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.

However, before Liu Qiqi could follow Xiaofan, he slammed the door shut. Not giving her any chance to cozy up.

Liu Qiqi figured it out. These people didn't regard her at all, especially this Ye Xiaofan... She didn't understand why in the circle, men would gravitate towards her with just a beckoning finger, yet these guys were completely indifferent. Do they not like women?

The next day.

"Ye Xiaofan, you bastard, come out!"

After waking up, Liu Qiqi heard someone downstairs shouting Xiaofan's name. Dragging her messy hair, she walked out of the room.

Opening the door, she saw a stunning young woman with an explosive figure standing with her hands on her hips beside the car that had been smashed up the night before.

"Damn? When did this bastard bring another woman here? Hey, which club are you from?" Chen Mei'Er had received a call from Xiaofan early in the morning asking her to find someone to take the car for repairs. Mei'Er felt like a nanny, having to clean up after him constantly. Even if she were just a nanny, shouldn't he at least pay her wages, or talk to her?

While Chen Mei'Er appeared to be fierce on the outside, she was clear-minded inside. She knew Xiaofan wasn't coming to her because he feared she'd be in danger. That's why she used this excuse to see Xiaofan, just having a look would be enough, and scolding him a bit would ease her longing.

But what she didn't expect, was that the door was opened by another woman, one in pajamas who'd just woken up no less.

"It seems he and his friends have gone out? Who are you?" Liu Qiqi curiously examined the beauty before her. No wonder Ye Xiaofan didn't even take a proper look at her; with such a beauty around him, she realized she had overestimated herself last night.

"I should be asking you that! Who are you? Why are you in Ye Xiaofan's house?"

"Me, don't misunderstand, he brought me back because of some things."

"This bastard, even I can't just enter this house as I please, yet he randomly brings a woman back for a night. Hmph... really, if he wanted it, couldn't he have just called me?" Chen Mei'Er muttered the last sentence, then waved for her men to drive the car away.

On the other side, in Li Kuo's company. A dozen shareholders were holding a shareholder meeting in the conference room.

"Now that Li Zhongran is in this situation, we believe someone must step up to take charge immediately. The market value is constantly falling, and many orders need to be completed on time."

"Yes, from my perspective, the collaboration with Dongri Group is crucial. Our Huasheng Electronics must seize this opportunity for a turnaround. If we can secure their investment, selling the technology to them shouldn't be an issue."

"Yes, with things this far gone, it's all we can do."

"The technology can't be sold." At this moment, the conference room doors were suddenly thrown open, and a group of young people briskly walked in.

Seeing the newcomers, the dozen shareholders were stunned, looking at one another and then at the man in the lead.

"Young Master Li, why, why are you here?" one shareholder asked.

"This is my family's company. Why can't I attend a shareholder meeting? Is it that since my father's no longer here, you all get to decide everything?" Li Kuo asked coldly.

Xiaofan and Li San were sharply dressed in suits, following Li Kuo. However, to outsiders, these young men might just seem like people brought from school to support them.

"Sit down." Li Kuo didn't intend for Xiaofan and the others to keep standing, so he pulled out chairs for them one by one.

The shareholders now wore odd expressions. This was a shareholders' meeting; unrelated people had no right to be here. Moreover, while Li Kuo was Li Zhongran's son, with Li Zhongran's assets frozen, Huasheng Enterprises wasn't under his control anymore. Besides, wasn't he already dead?

"Young Master Li, it's not that we aren't accommodating, but given your current status, you can't attend a shareholders' meeting. If you have any opinions or suggestions, you can discuss them with me in private—you know my phone number, right?"

"Uncle Zhang. This is an agreement signed by my father and the lawyer. From the moment his death was confirmed, thirty percent of his shares transferred to me automatically, plus my mother holds ten percent. Now my mother isn't well, so as the direct relative, I'm fully entitled to control these shares with the lawyer's endorsement. Which means, I, Li Kuo, am still the largest shareholder of Huasheng Group." These were words he had practiced countless times. Today he was nervous, but for the sake of his father's hard work, he had to hold on. Facing so many elders, he couldn't show a hint of cowardice.

"But the Bureau of Supervision has already frozen your father's assets, so even if..."

"At eight this morning, just twenty minutes ago, the bank unfroze all of my father's assets and funds, meaning my position as chairman has been officially established as of twenty minutes ago. If there are no objections, I'll be presiding over today's meeting." Li Kuo said in a low voice, then glanced around at all the shareholders present.

He knew, Li Kuo knew, Xiaofan had advised him to come to the company because someone here caused harm to his father, and that person was likely among the dozen shareholders in front of him.
