Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Li Ran put on her gloves and began to eat the pig trotters, she said in a m.u.f.fled voice, The butler is taking leave tomorrow, so you can only wash the clothes yourself.

Li Ci didnt respond. When he came out again, Li Ran had already eaten all the pig trotters, leaving bare bones scattered on the coffee table.

Li Ci was a clean freak. If it were anyone else who dirtied his coffee table, he definitely would have lost his temper. He could only tolerate Li Ran.

He walked over and tidied up the coffee table before sitting down beside Li Ran. This girls appet.i.te had been improving recently, and her figure had become visibly plumper.

So who were you angry with just now?

Its all because of Zhou Liu. He hasnt replied for an entire day. Li Ci was about to speak when Li Ran said, If you want to reason with me, youd better not say anything. Im very annoyed now. Reasoning is the last thing 1 want to hear.

Li Ci swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Since youre so angry, just delete his number.

Li Ran was unwilling, so she pouted and explained for Zhou Liu, Thats not necessary. Hes not that outrageous. Hes just too busy. Moreover, 1 heard that his friend has been living with him recently, so he has to go back every day after work to compete with his friend.

Compete? On what?

Li Ran said with dissatisfaction, He must be playing games and cant be bothered to reply to me, so he found an excuse to brush me off.

Li Ci didnt speak for a moment. He was thinking about the friend Zhou Liu had mentioned. Could he be Mo Shu, who had been taken away from the technology exhibition that day?

Now, everyone was looking for Mo Shu, but he had disappeared. Could he have been hidden by Zhou Liu?

Li Ci suddenly looked at Li Ran sinisterly. Theres no such thing as a free lunch. Since you ate the pig trotters 1 bought for you, shouldnt you do me a favor?

Li Ran frowned and she had a bad feeling. Every time Li Ci asked her to do something, he had this sinister expression!

Li Rans expression instantly turned bitter. What do you want?

Li Ci said with a smile, Its no trouble. 1 just want you to have a meal with Zhou Liu and help me ask around.

Li Ran was surprised. What does Zhou Liu have that youre interested in?

Li Ci flicked Li Rans forehead as he said, To think that you dont even know that Zhou Liu is a computer genius even when you chat with him every day. Its said that the defense code he writes is the strongest defense system. As soon as he graduates, hell be a talent fought over by various companies. How can 1 not be interested in such a talent?

Li Ran frowned. But hes an employee of Yuan An Software Company now.

Thats why I want you to negotiate with him. Poach him for me.

Li Ran was very good at communicating and negotiating. After she married Gao Shan, she helped Gao Dan negotiate a lot of orders. In addition, with Zhou Liu and Li Rans relations.h.i.+p, if Li Ran took action, she would definitely be able to poach Zhou Liu to Li Cis company.

Li Ran looked at Li Ci suspiciously. She had never asked her uncle about what he did, but this time, she was suddenly curious. Uncle, 1 really want to know how many businesses you have.

After Li Ci rubbed Li Rans head and tousled up her hair, Li Ran frowned in dissatisfaction and avoided his hand.

Li Ci asked, Why are you suddenly interested in this? Youve never asked before.

Li Ran had an impa.s.sive expression, but her tone was very serious. Im just curious. If youre unwilling to say it, so be it. But Uncle, I have to remind you that because of my parents, you have to restrain yourself in the business world. I keep feeling that what youre doing is getting more and more dangerous.

Li Ci didnt dwell on this topic anymore. He only said jokingly, Youve grown up and know how to express concern about your uncle now. Dont worry, no matter what I do, 1 definitely wont let it affect you. You know best what kind of benefits Zhou Liu can get now. As long as you help me poach him, any condition is fine.

Li Ran had been raised in a prominent family, so she was good at reading body language. Since Li Ci didnt want to mention it, she didnt probe further. She played along and joked, My negotiation might lead you towards bankruptcy.

If you can really bankrupt your me, thatll be impressive.

Because of this, Li Ran became more and more suspicious. She felt that Li Ci seemed to have developed more and more business power without her family knowing..
