6: Chapter 6 Speculation about the Li Family

You see, if favorability reaches one hundred, then spending money results in a hundredfold increase.

With this multiplier, one could easily become a multi-billionaire.

...

Elsewhere.

Li Xiaogang rushed home in a panic.

Pushing open the door, he saw that Zheng Jiakai was also there.

"Sister, do you know who I saw when I went to buy a car today?"

Li Xiaogang sat down, took a sip of water, and said.

"Who?"

Li Shanshan asked with a smile while peeling an apple.

"Zhao Feiyu, that bastard!"

Mentioning Zhao Feiyu made Li Shanshan's face immediately darken.

"Why bring him up? What a mood killer!"

As she spoke, she threw the apple onto the table and looked at Zheng Jiakai apologetically, afraid that he might get angry.

"Hehe!"

Zheng Jiakai didn't seem to mind. "I saw him at the company today, and before I could even open my mouth, he packed his things and left!"

"Really?"

Li Shanshan's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, then that kid is going to be left with nothing to eat!"

"Sister, I think something's not right!"

Li Xiaogang said with a grave expression.

"Do you know where I saw Zhao Feiyu today?"

"Where?"

"At the porsche dealership!"

"Hehe!"

Li Shanshan covered her mouth and laughed. "Is he going to interview for a sales job?"

"No, no!"

Li Xiaogang explained repeatedly.

"I saw him with a woman, buying a car!"

"Buying a car?"

Li Shanshan raised an eyebrow and immediately scoffed.

"He can afford a car? A porsche, at that? I think even a Baojun would be a struggle for him!"

"It's true, it's true!"

Li Xiaogang insisted.

"I saw him pay with my own eyes—a full 980,000—and he paid it from that phone of his with the cracked screen!"

"Really?"

Li Shanshan asked suspiciously.

"Really. He bought the car, and not even for himself, but for another woman. 980,000, and he didn't even blink!"

Li Shanshan looked at Zheng Jiakai in confusion.

As if asking, didn't he resign?

"What does that woman look like? Do you know her?"

Li Shanshan asked hurriedly.

If Zhao Feiyu could find a woman immediately after their divorce, it would deeply annoy Li Shanshan.

"I don't know her!"

Li Xiaogang shook his head. "I don't know her. Regardless, she was very beautiful and sexy, wearing stockings and high heels, with her hair down!"

Slap!

Li Shanshan slapped Li Xiaogang on the head. "Is she prettier than me?"

"Uh..."

Li Xiaogang felt a strong scent of impending doom.

He then lied against his conscience and said, "No, not as pretty as you!"

Zheng Jiakai, standing to the side, frowned. "Could the person he's talking about be our boss?"

With that, Zheng Jiakai hurriedly searched through his phone and found a company group photo.

He pointed to Zhang Yafei in the photo and asked, "Take a look, is it her?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's her!"

Li Xiaogang nodded repeatedly.

Zheng Jiakai laughed out loud. "This woman is our boss! The million-dollar car you mentioned must be Zhao Feiyu helping Zhang Yafei buy a car!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogang suddenly realized. "Right! That's possible!"

Zheng Jiakai continued, "Think about it, how many men these days can buy a million-dollar luxury car for a woman without even blinking an eye?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it! How could that loser possibly afford a million-dollar car!"

But then, Li Shanshan asked, "Jiakai, what is your boss and Zhao Feiyu..."

"Oh! There's no relationship. It's just that Zhao Feiyu's performance was usually good, so the boss valued him, that's all!"

Zheng Jiakai said dismissively.

"He packed his things and left today; if I had to fire him, it would have taken quite some effort."

"Besides, although she's the boss, there are several chairmen above her in our company; she's really just a manager. Plus, her family situation isn't great, and all the money she earns goes toward her family's medical expenses!"

"Then how could she afford a million-dollar car?"

Li Shanshan asked in confusion.

"This..."

Zheng Jiakai thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

"I get it now. She must have been embezzling funds! As a manager, I can make a few million a year; as the boss, she certainly wouldn't make less, yet she pretends to be so noble all day long!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Jiakai rolled his eyes, plotting something malicious.

"Maybe... at the quarterly report meeting, I can get her removed, and then I can take her place!"

"Really?"

Li Shanshan was immediately excited. "If Jiakai becomes the boss, then I could easily climb the ranks at my company!"

The cosmetics company where Li Shanshan worked was invested in by one of the shareholders of Zheng Jiakai's company.

By then, with just one word from Zheng Jiakai, Li Shanshan could join the management team.

Just then, Xu Ping, who was cooking, walked out. "My dear son-in-law, you said that loser Zhao Feiyu is pestering your boss—is he trying to get her to keep him on?"

As soon as she said this, everyone felt it was highly likely.

"Brother-in-law, you absolutely cannot let that guy stay at your company."

Li Xiaogang quickly sat down next to Zheng Jiakai and said.

"You have no idea how arrogant he was when buying the car today; it was as if that 980,000 was actually his own!"

Zheng Jiakai laughed triumphantly, looking as if he had everything in the bag. "If nothing goes wrong, that bitch Zhang Yafei must have transferred the money to Zhao Feiyu's account to embezzle the company's funds."

"The quarterly report meeting is almost here. This time, I'm going to drag that bitch down with me, and then the boss's position will definitely be mine."

"Besides, the amount Zhang Yafei embezzled is so large that it violates the law. If Zhao Feiyu was also involved, he'll definitely end up in jail too."

Hearing that Zhao Feiyu could be sent to jail, Li Shanshan was immediately excited. "If we can get that guy locked up, then we won't ever have to see his pathetic face again!"

Zheng Jiakai quickly took out his phone and dialed. "Li Yunlei, help me check if that guy Zhao Feiyu has actually resigned!"

Ever since Zheng Jiakai and Li Shanshan began their affair, Zheng Jiakai had been using Zhao Feiyu's classmate, Li Yunlei, to keep Zhao Feiyu in check.

This had caused major obstacles for Zhao Feiyu's career.

Otherwise, given Zhao Feiyu's abilities, he would have been on equal footing with him long ago.

Before long, Li Yunlei called back. "Manager, Zhao Feiyu has indeed resigned. HR has already terminated his contract."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

Zheng Jiakai quickly gathered his things, ready to leave.

His mother-in-law, Xu Ping, rushed out. "My dear son-in-law, dinner is almost ready! It won't be too late to eat before you leave!"

Zheng Jiakai had already reached the door and changed his shoes. "You guys go ahead and eat. I need to head to the company. That bitch Zhang Yafei just bought a car, so she's bound to slip up. The quarterly report meeting is starting soon, and I must take this opportunity to drag her down."

Hearing that it was about this, the family stopped trying to hold him back and urged Zheng Jiakai to leave.
