Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Noticing that Li Ying was not in a good mood, Chu Xiong asked with concern, "Big sister, are we being a little too tense?"

Li Ying shook her head. "Mainly because through these two interactions, Li Dong's aunt sent me a strong signal."

"This is the first time in all these years that I've felt this uneasy!"

Chu Xiong asked, "What signal?"

Li Ying explained, "It seems that Li Dong's aunt has some connection with the IF Group."

"And from what she said, it seems she can even influence the ideas related to IF..."

Chu Xiong was taken aback. "Li Dong's aunt? IF Group?"

Li Ying countered, "So, don't you also think this connection is too absurd?"

Chu Xiong nodded; it was indeed absurd.

He already knew the Li family's background very well.

My ancestors were all commoners, working class, ordinary as could be, and no one in three generations had ever become a civil servant.

The only exception is the emergence of Li Dong, a variable in this generation.

However, this variable is not yet enough to change the fate of the Li family.

Without Song Ci's influence, Li Dong would have been destined to disappear without a trace, like sand sinking into the ocean.

It was Song Ci's appearance that gave Li Dong the opportunity to change his fate and gave the Li family the leverage to change the course of their lives.

If it weren't for Song Ci, Li Dong would have had the opportunity to gain the attention of the police leadership and become a rising star in the police force.

He's probably still a low-level police officer at the Minjin Township Police Station right now!

They were even trampled underfoot by Jiang Haichao, that son of an official!

What is IF Group?

That's an international financial behemoth; even he and his older sister were powerless against the IF Group.

Now, even the fate of Jianghe Group and the eldest sister's revenge plan depend on IF Group.

At times like this, anyone who can be associated with the IF Group can be considered a lifeline for him and his older sister.

But now, how come Li Dong's aunt is connected with the IF Group?

This answer is more than just absurd.

That's absolutely bizarre!

Although Chu Xiong knew that Li Dong's aunt had returned from abroad.

However, based on the information currently available, Li Zhihua's situation abroad is not good, and his return to China this time is to escape debt.

How could such a down-on-her-luck woman possibly have any connection with the IF Group?

Even if her current identity is fake, she shouldn't be powerful enough to influence the IF Group, right?

It's important to understand that top-tier conglomerates like IF are not easily accessible to ordinary people through hard work alone.

Based on the information he currently has, Li Dong's aunt is definitely not qualified!

Chu Xiong tentatively asked, "Big sister, should I go and verify this?"

Li Ying explained, "No need, I've already handed this matter over to Zhong Hui, but I don't think she'll find anything."

"If Li Zhihua really had such abilities, would he need to hide them from me?"

"If she just revealed her identity, why would Xiao Ci and Li Dong's marriage be so difficult?"

Chu Xiong understood. "Big sister... do you mean that Li Zhihua is bluffing?"

Li Ying rubbed her temples. "That's possible. This Li Zhihua used to live and work abroad."

"It shouldn't be too difficult to find out about the IF Group through some special channels."

"It's no secret that IF Group is now planning to partner with a third city in China to launch its business."

"I guess Li Zhihua somehow found out about my plan to cooperate with IF."

"Then they wanted to use this to intimidate me and force me to submit!"

Chu Xiong couldn't help but smile wryly, "If that's really the case, then Li Zhihua's methods are rather underhanded."

"The truth will eventually come out, and the lie will eventually be exposed."

"Did she think that with just a few words, she could pressure her elder sister to agree and make Li Dong and Miss's marriage happen?"

"The intention is good, but the method... is rather naive and absurd!"

Li Ying's tone was even more disdainful, "This is what people at the bottom of society are like, with the mindset of the poor through and through."

"The genes that are ingrained in our bones can't be changed!"

"Their underlying logic is to achieve their goals by any means necessary, without considering anything else."

"However, to come up with such a method, Li Zhihua must be quite a character, right?"

"You didn't see it. The way she put on airs in front of me today was just like the real thing!"

"That's because I know her background. If I didn't know her background, I might have actually been fooled and mistaken for the mysterious president of the IF Group!"

Chu Xiong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He didn't take Li Ying's words seriously at all.

A fake is a fake. No matter how much an ordinary person tries to disguise themselves, they can't fake that kind of confidence.

As for almost getting away with it in front of the eldest sister, that would require some extraordinary acting skills.

It's obvious that the older sister was just teasing her.

Nine times out of ten, it's because Li Zhihua's acting is so bad that the older sister has already seen through his act!

Although he could understand that the Li family had given everything for Li Dong and made every effort to maintain the marriage.

But as he just said, this approach is too naive.

If the truth is revealed in the future, it will only make the older sister more contemptuous and disdainful.

Li Zhihua's actions not only fail to improve the relationship between the two, but may even have the opposite effect.

The Li family's advantage is not in terms of power, and in fact, the Li family has no power to speak of.

If you want to outdo Li Ying in terms of power, that's nothing short of a pipe dream!

The only advantage the Li family currently has is that they come from a humble background.

It's fine to be from humble backgrounds, but you must be clean and honest.

Now that Li Zhihua is using such methods, trying to show off his limited skills and deceive in front of his elder sister, he is definitely lowering Li Dong's standing.

Although Li Dong came from a poor family, at least he was not lacking in ambition despite his poverty.

But now, their methods are rather clumsy, which only further confirms that the Li family is trying to climb the social ladder.

Having learned Song Ci's true identity, he didn't want to give up his idea of ​​getting rich!

Thinking of this, Chu Xiong tentatively asked, "Big sister, what should we do next?"

Li Ying continued, "Li Dong's aunt is probably a fraudster abroad as well."

"I suspect he used these methods to commit fraud abroad quite a bit. Now that his conspiracy has been exposed, he has returned to China to seek refuge."

"So, I personally don't believe what she says, but I can't completely disbelieve her either."

"A person like her will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and it's hard to guarantee that she doesn't use some underhanded methods."

"We are now fighting a desperate battle, and we cannot afford to be complacent about any disturbance!"

"Therefore, we must devote all our energy to dealing with this negotiation meeting organized by the Provincial Party Committee!"
