Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, a table of guests upstairs left, so s.h.i.+ Xiao and Li Ci sat in this booth.

The two of them ordered wine, but didnt take a single sip.

Not only didnt they drink, but the two of them didnt speak either. They just sat there quietly as they watched the dance floor.

Sitting here, a sudden sense of familiarity overcame them.

The two people who were very influential in A Citys business world had negotiated their first collaboration at this place.

At that time, they were drinking at the bar in the center of the stage. The music on the stage was deafening, but s.h.i.+ Xiao and Li Ci remembered everything they said clearly.

The environment was noisy, but s.h.i.+ Xiao still heard Li Cis words clearly. s.h.i.+ Xiao, I have a political background and you have influence in the business world. Why dont the two of us work together? We can definitely make our mark in A City!

As it turned out, the two of them did what they said.

They were once high-spirited youths, but now, they had already developed into their own factions. With the pa.s.sage of time, their changes happened too fast, so much so that they had long forgotten their original intentions.

This time, when they sat here again, they were far less unbridled than before. Now, every step they took was cautious and careful. They could no longer trust the other party with their backs.

s.h.i.+ Xiao said, I can turn a blind eye to what youve done behind my back all these years, but theres something 1 have to know.

Of course, Li Ci knew what he was asking about. He stared at s.h.i.+ Xiaos dark eyes as he said seriously, I didnt partic.i.p.ate in what happened to you and Yuan Shu that night! Although weve only been working together for the past few years, Im sure of one thing. I wont work with Jiang Chen. My sister and brother-in-law are both in politics, so I cant be a.s.sociated with the underworld. Thats my principle.

s.h.i.+ Xiao was finally relieved.

He didnt know what Li Ci had done behind his back, but he couldnt tolerate Li Ci betraying him by cooperating with Jiang Chen.

If Li Ci cooperated with Jiang Chen despite his position, it would mean that he had already given up his principle. If a person could give up his bottom line, then sooner or later, he would also give up their long-standing cooperation.

If he cooperated with such a person, he would only be causing trouble for himself.

After confirming that Li Ci hadnt changed after so many years, s.h.i.+ Xiao finally said with relief, We can work together, but you have to show me your sincerity.

Li Ci said, I believe youve already investigated the faction behind me very clearly. If you want to see my sincerity, Zhao Tian is my greatest show of sincerity. Since he became your amba.s.sador, I guarantee that nothing will happen. Is this sincere enough?

The brands spokesperson represented the image of the entire website. If something happened to the spokesperson, the first to be affected would definitely be s.h.i.+ Xiaos video-sharing website.

This was also a problem that both Yuan Shu and s.h.i.+ Xiao were worried about. At that time, Yuan Shu suggested that they find another spokesperson as a backup, so that if anything happened to Zhao Tian, they could make up for it in time.

Therefore, Li Cis guarantee was very important.

In the end, s.h.i.+ Xiao requested, But theres one more thing I want you to promise me. You cant make a move on Yuan Shu again.

Li Ci frowned slightly and said, Whether you believe it or not, I didnt do anything to Yuan Shu. Someone else was behind it. Even though Yuan Shu and I dont see eye to eye and cant continue to be friends, I admire her very much and definitely wont harm her.

The more Li Ci spoke, the more serious she became. The more Yuan Shu shows off her talent, the more she will attract the attention of other people. Therefore, the person who hurt her was never anyone else, but you.

Li Ci was right. s.h.i.+ Xiao was the cause of everything, so he could only do his best to protect Yuan Shu.

This was also the reason he agreed to divorce Yuan Shu. As long as he broke off his relations.h.i.+p with Yuan Shu, those who wanted to harm s.h.i.+ Xiao would pay less attention to her. In that case, she might suffer less.

Since it wasnt Li Ci or Jiang Chen who had harmed Yuan Shu, who could it be?

What was that persons goal?

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Xiao couldnt help but think of what Yuan Shu had said. An enemy in the open isnt scary. The foe in the dark is the most nerve-racking..
