<h4>Chapter 72: Chapter 63: Everyone Rests for Ten Minutes</h4>
"There are two million here, take it."
"This is..."
Li Peng’s eyes lit up when he saw the money.
But he still pretended, "No, Xin’er, how can Dad take your money?"
Yet his eyes never left the money for a second.
Heavens know how suffocated he felt living in this broken ce after Feihong went bankrupt.
Two million! Enough for him to get a decent big house and enjoy life again.
Seeing the old wife at home every day was so damn nauseating.
Li Xin knew him well, and didn’t bother with his pretense, "Alright, just take it."
She then directly stuffed the card into Li Peng’s hand.
"Alright then, Xin’er, I’ll ept the money," Li Peng said.
Seeing him ept it, Li Xin couldn’t help but advise, "Dad, now that the family’s in this state, you and Mom should be good to each other and stop fooling around outside."
Li Peng agreed swiftly, "Alright."
He smiled, "Dad knows, don’t worry."
"I’ll be going now," Li Xin said, picking up her bag to leave, "Say goodbye to Mom for me."
"Not staying for breakfast?" Li Peng asked, "Have some before you leave?"
Li Xin felt ufortable staying here, let alone having the appetite to eat.
She frowned, "No, I’ve got to shoot an advertisement at thepanyter."
"I’ll visit you when I have time."
"Alright then."
With that said, Li Xin opened the door and left.
Watching his daughter’s graceful silhouette, exuding the aura of a star, Li Peng’s eyes shone brightly.
He was grateful for sending her into the entertainment industry; look at her now, even if Feihong copsed,
she can still support herself and earn money for the family.
But that was far from enough.
Li Peng’s eyes were filled with ambition; as a daughter of the Li Family, she had a responsibility to help the family rise again!
He was unwilling to live his life as an ordinary man.
Clutching the bank card, Li Peng snorted and turned back inside.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Li came out and anxiously asked, "Why did Xin’er leave, the breakfast is almost ready?"
Li Peng put on his coat with a sarcastic tone, "She’s busy, you think everyone is like you, just eating and sleeping every day?"
Mrs. Li felt wronged, "It was you who asked me to do it."
Li Peng red at her, "You’re getting bold, daring to talk back?"
"I’m your pir, do whatever I tell you. Look at yourself, old, ugly, bby, with nothing to offer. Even as a maid, no one would want you. If it weren’t for our years together, I’d have left you long ago!"
"You should be grateful, you know? How dare you criticize me, look at yourself!"
...
Upstairs, continuous insults echoed, filled with unpleasant words, unbearable to hear.
The people downstairs couldn’t stand it, and one couldn’t help butment, "What does he think he looks like, not even handsome, still pretentious."
"I don’t know what she sees in him, getting scolded like this every day. If it were me, I’d have left him long ago."
"Why not divorce such a man instead of waiting for the new year."
Someone nearby said, "Don’t say that, their status is quite special."
"What’s so special, aren’t they just people? If they had money, would they still be cramped in this small old building?"
"Then you don’t know, do you know who that man is? The younger brother of the Feihong Group’s boss reported in the news, that’s a truly rich man."
"Rich people always have many problems."
"But now it’s bankrupt too, a fallen Phoenix is worse than a chicken!"

When Jiang Ruan woke up, there was already no one beside her, the bedroom was quiet, just her alone.
A maid heard the stir and came in to tidy up the room.
Jiang Ruan rubbed her sore waist and asked the maid, "When did he leave?"
The maid replied, "Mr. Bao left around seven, Assistant Chen came to pick him up, seemed urgent, he didn’t even have breakfast."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruan responded with an "Oh."
"By the way, Mr. Bao left a document for me to give to you," the maid said, "I’ll go get it."
Watching the maid’s retreating figure, Jiang Ruan blinked, wondering what document?
Suddenly, she rememberedst night when Bao Ye mentioned her bing the spokesperson for the Bao Group!
Jiang Ruan’s eyes widened, was Bao Ye serious?
It wasn’t until the maid handed her a document, clearly marked with ck and white text, that the Bao Group was signing a contract with her to make her the global spokesperson.
Jiang Ruan waspletely awake now, Bao Ye wasn’t just sweet-talking her, he was serious about making her the spokesperson.
Flipping through the document, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said to the maid, "You can go out now."
"Yes, call if you need anything."
Jiang Ruan acknowledged, watching the maid leave, only then did she pick up her phone nearby.
She called Bao Ye.
At this time, Bao Ye was in a meeting on the ny-eighth floor of the Bao Group building.
With a dark face, he was listening to the development manager speak.
Besides his voice, the whole office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
In the spacious, luxurious office, all the executives sat upright, faces serious.
Attending this suddenly convened emergency meeting.
As the development manager finished speaking, the man in the main seat suddenly stood up.
The development manager looked bewildered, "Mr. Bao, did I say something wrong?"
"No."
Bao Ye picked up his phone, his eyes dark, ncing at him, his voice cold, "Everyone take a ten-minute break."
After speaking, he directly turned and strode towards the door.
All the executives’ gaze followed him back.
They couldn’t help but whisper to each other.
"Mr. Bao never takes breaks during meetings, why the sudden break today?"
"Maybe something urgent came up, didn’t you see Mr. Bao just looking at his phone?"
"What do we do, this situation, we’re definitely going to get scoldedter."
"Getting scolded is minor, getting fired is major."
"Of course, anyone fired by Bao Group can’t find a job anywhere in Beijing."
"Really unlucky, sigh!"
"Hope Mr. Bao shows some leniency."
