Jiang Kaiwei didn’t understand why Shen Li invited Zhou Ting and Du Xiaoxian to sit together, but he didn’t care. He smiled and greeted the two beauties.

Zhou Ting was tactful enough to squeeze out a smile to respond to him.

Du Xiaoxian, on the other hand, fiercely glared at him with her big clear eyes.

No matter how shameless Jiang Kaiwei was, he still couldn’t resist the fierce stare of the little girl. He couldn’t help but dodge. However, he was instantly enraged. He was born with a silver spoon and was accustomed to making waves and looking down on the world. He couldn’t tolerate the slightest bit of disobedience, but he was dodging a little girl. It really hurt his face.

He also stared back with a straight face and said impolitely, “Why are you glaring at me all the time?”

Du Xiaoxian looked at him and said word by word, “You are a bad person!”

Shen Li chuckled. In the past, Du Xiaoxian lived alone in the Great Jade Mountain and didn’t know how to get along with others. However, after following Gu Nianbin for so long, she still didn’t improve at all. She didn’t even know how to be less direct when she spoke.

Zhou Ting also smiled, her eyes glancing at Jiang Kaiwei as if she was watching a good show.

Jiang Kaiwei was stunned at first, but then he thought it was funny, “Why am I a bad person?”

“You’re fighting a war against Young Master. You’re bullying him.”

“Xiaoxian, you don’t understand. This is a matter between men.” Jiang Kaiwei patiently explained, “I’m a businessman. As a businessman, it’s normal for me to attack other companies and to plunder capital. The strong eat the weak. It’s the law of competition in this world. If Gu Nianbin is stronger than me, he might come and attack me.”

“Why do you plunder? Is it wonderful to do so? If you snatch things from others, he will be sad. Won’t your conscience bother you? Didn’t your mother teach you? You can’t bully people, you can’t snatch things from others, and you can’t do bad things.”

The little girl spoke seriously. Shen Li and Zhou Ting lowered their heads and smirked. Jiang Kaiwei had a complicated expression on his face and almost lost his temper. But they were in a public place. As the president of the Jiang Group, he had to take his status into consideration and behave well. However, he was being taught a lesson by a little girl. This made him furious in his heart…

Fortunately, the waiter delivered the food and everyone remained silent for the time being.

When the waiter left, Jiang Kaiwei said, “Du Xiaoxian, it’s not up to you whether I’m a bad person or not, and you are not qualified to judge my education. You have to apologize to me.”

Shen Li turned to look at him with a surprised expression. Not cool. President Jiang started to be childish again and was competing with the little girl.

“You did something wrong. Why should I apologize?” Du Xiaoxian said seriously, “You should apologize to Gu Nianbin and make peace with him. Isn’t it good for everyone? Moreover, Gu Group is in trouble now. You should help him. In this way, the next time when you are in trouble, he will also help you. If everyone only wants to help people and not harm them, wouldn’t the world be a better place? Although you did something wrong, as long as you correct it, you will become a good person from a bad one. My mother said that bad people will never live at peace, and good people will live for a hundred years. Are you willing to be a good person or a bad one?”

Du Xiaoxian, who was not good at speaking, said so much in one breath. Although it sounded strange, it was reasonable. The expressions of the three listeners changed again. Zhou Ting was surprised, Shen Li showed a praising look, and Jiang Kaiwei was… confused.

Jiang Kaiwei was really at a loss. In his world, he spoke in an indirect manner. He told the truths and lies, deceived people, and hid his hostility in a smile. He had never heard such straightforward words in many years.

“You said that bad people will never live at peace?”

“Of course, my mother said that bad people would always think about the bad things they had done and the people they had hurt, so their hearts were always uneasy. When they were alive, they would not be happy! After they died, they would go to hell!”

Shen Li chuckled again, “Xiaoxian, what does your mother do?”

“She used to be a teacher.”

Shen Li asked, “What about now?”

Zhou Ting kicked him under the table. Shen Li was not on guard. He turned his gaze to Zhou Ting’s face and said, “What are you doing…”

Zhou Ting stopped him and said, “Eat your food. You talk so much!” She secretly winked. Shen Li was a smart person, so he immediately understood and shut his mouth.

Du Xiaoxian was calm and smiled softly, “It doesn’t matter. My mother is long gone, but I remember everything she said in my heart.”

Jiang Kaiwei had investigated Du Xiaoxian and knew about her background. He had also felt pity for this little girl. However, looking at her this time, he felt that she was a little different. Her eyes were still clear, but they were no longer cowardly. Instead, they became firm. It was as if there was a powerful aura that no one dared to underestimate her. He lowered his eyes and slowly cut the steak on the plate.

Everyone fell silent for a moment. They heard the sound of knives and forks hitting the plate, clanking, which was extremely crisp. It was made by Du Xiaoxian. She was not used to western food, and she was not skilled in this. Jiang Kaiwei glanced at her and reached out to take her plate. He quickly and skillfully cut the steak for her.

Shen Li was shocked again. He exchanged a glance with Zhou Ting and said in a laughter, “Xiaoxian, you’re really great. It’s rare for President Jiang to personally cut a steak for someone. This is the first time I’ve seen it!”

Du Xiaoxian smiled and said to Jiang Kaiwei, “Isn’t that right? Are you happy to help others at the same time? I think you can be a good person. Let’s be friends!”

Jiang Kaiwei suddenly stopped cutting the steak. He raised his eyelids and looked at her with eyes full of coldness. The little girl did not dodge and did not even have a timid expression. Instead, she frowned, “Look, you’re not friendly again. Who on earth do you want to be, a good person or a bad one?”

Jiang Kaiwei sighed in his heart. Did the heavens send Du Xiaoxian here to deal with him? Why was it that every time he fought with the little girl, it was like hitting on a pile of cotton? She wasn’t hurt at all, but he almost suffered internal injuries. Putting down his knife and fork, he handed Du Xiaoxian’s plate back and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He stood up elegantly and said, “I’m done. You shall enjoy the meal.”

Jiang Kaiwei glanced at Shen Li, but Young Master Shen sat calmly, “I haven’t done yet. Why don’t you go first?”

Of course, Du Xiaoxian and Zhou Ting wouldn’t ask Jiang Kaiwei to stay, so President Jiang left the restaurant with a lonely expression.

As soon as Jiang Kaiwei left, Zhou Ting raised her eyebrows and instantly became active. She asked Shen Li, “What does your boss want? Why does he keep fighting Gu Group? Does he really want to beat us all? Why is he so bad?”

“Miss Zhou, you should ask my boss these questions. When he was here, you didn’t ask him. Once he leaves, you start to ask a lot of questions,” said Shen Li, who was somewhat overwhelmed by her question.

Zhou Ting curled her lips in disdain, “I don’t want to ask him. Besides, if I asked him, would he be honest?”

“Well, you mean, I will definitely answer honestly?”

Zhou Ting looked at him intensely, “Won’t you?”

“Yes, I will,” Shen Li smiled flatteringly, “Since Secretary Zhou wants the answers, how can I not be honest?”

“Then say it. Tell me after thinking about it. Don’t fool me.”

Shen Li sighed, “Alright, let me tell you the truth. Jiang Kaiwei indeed wants to beat down Gu Group completely. You should know a little about the current situation. It’s better to plan ahead as soon as possible.”

“Bah! No way!” Zhou Ting slapped the table angrily, attracting the attention of the people at nearby tables.

Shen Li quickly whispered to comfort her, “Don’t be angry. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything. Don’t worry. If Gu Group collapses, you can come to Jiang Group to work as my secretary. Although it is only the general manager’s secretary, the salary and benefits will definitely not be inferior to yours now, alright?”

“You!” Zhou Ting was so angry that she didn’t care that she was in a western restaurant. She reached out to pinch him. Du Xiaoxian quickly stopped her, “Sister Zhou, forget it. Let’s try to get along. Don’t fight.”

“Listen to what he says. I’m so angry.” Zhou Ting glared at Shen Li angrily.

Du Xiaoxian asked, “Mr. Shen, will Gu Group really collapse?”

Shen Li nodded. “The most conservative estimate is that there is at least a 70% chance. Actually, I do not want to see Gu Group collapse. Only healthy competition is beneficial to social development. However, I am powerless in the capital market. Jiang Kaiwei is the person who can make a difference. Gu Nianjing has already taken the money and put Gu Group in a precarious situation. Jiang Kaiwei’s intervention is like an accelerator. I don’t think Gu Group will be able to withstand it for long.”

“Jiang Kaiwei’s ambition is big enough. With such a wealthy industry like Jiang Group, he still wants our Gu Group. Isn’t he afraid of dying from exhaustion?”

“Ah! I did ask him about it. Here’s what Jiang Kaiwei said.” Shen Li cleared his throat and tried to sound like Jiang Kaiwei, “Why do I want Gu Group? Gu Nianbin treats it as a treasure, but I’m not interested in that. I just want to split it up and consolidate it to sell for a good price.”

Zhou Ting sighed. Hearing Shen Li’s words, she was not interested in the delicacies in front of her. She lazily forked the steak into her mouth. Seeing her dim spirits, Shen Li leaned closer and said, “Don’t worry, your future is on me. I will never starve you if I have a bite to eat.”

“You shut up!” Zhou Ting glared at him and turned to look at Du Xiaoxian. The little girl ate quietly, but the worry on her face was obvious.

Zhou Ting whispered to Shen Li, “You scared her.”

“Xiaoxian, don’t worry. Your future is also on me.” Shen Li laughed and teased her, but Zhou Ting pushed him away and was about to scold him.

Du Xiaoxian raised her head and looked at them calmly, “Gu Group will not collapse. Young Master will definitely not let it collapse. Sister Zhou will not lose her job. No one will lose their jobs. I believe Young Master has the ability to do so.” When she spoke, she had a calm and relaxed manner that could not be ignored, which was completely different from her usual timid appearance.

Zhou Ting was touched for a moment and gently held her hand on the table. “Yes, Gu Group won’t collapse. I believe the boss has the ability to save it.”

Shen Li looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled, “Gu Nianbin is so lucky to have a subordinate and a girlfriend like you two.”

Zhou Ting also smiled, “A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds scant support. It’s not certain who will win. Manager Shen, you’d better not help the evil!”

“No, I won’t. Jiang Kaiwei was afraid that I would leak the secret, so he wouldn’t let me get involved. As for me, I was happy to avoid suspicion, so I didn’t get involved in the slightest.” He paused for a moment, and said in a both serious and joking way, “Zhou Ting, no matter what happens, I won’t be your enemy.”

Zhou Ting chuckled, “Young Master Shen, we’re just friends. Don’t be so intimate.”

“Just friends?” Shen Li pretended to be disappointed, “I thought I was special in your heart!”

“What? Special?” Zhou Ting angrily pushed the empty plate aside and took a spoonful of tiramisu, “This meal is on you!”

Du Xiaoxian glanced at Zhou Ting, then at Shen Li, and suddenly said, “Actually, you two are a good match.”

Zhou Ting and Shen Li were stunned for an instant. Then they immediately smiled and shook their heads. They almost said in unison, “Good match? No way!”
