Li Jiawei did not avoid the question and met Li Xuanbao's gaze directly. She looked frank and said calmly, "Of course not. But if you are hungry, we can eat something to fill our stomachs first.

After all, it’s hard to free up your brain when talking about business. I’m afraid that after we finish talking, we won’t have the appetite to eat.”

Li Xuanbao stared at Li Jiawei's expression, which was unclear whether she was happy or angry, trying to catch a hint of emotional fluctuations from it, but in the end she got nothing.

She couldn't help but smile, with a hint of amusement in her tone: "Let's talk business first. Maybe after we finish talking, my appetite will be better and I can eat a few more bowls of rice!"

Li Jiawei slowly stretched out her hand, grasped the delicate teacup with her slender, white fingers, and gently lifted it up, allowing the rising scent of tea to spread in front of her.

Her gaze pierced through the hazy mist and looked straight into Li Xuanbao's eyes. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she took a sip of tea elegantly.

Putting down the still warm teacup in her hand, Li Jiawei sat up straight, her tone calm but with a hint of oppression: "I heard from Editor-in-Chief Wu of Meishang that your people are in frequent contact with a staff member of Meishang, and you want to poach her to your company?"

Hearing this, Li Xuanbao shrugged nonchalantly, with a nonchalant expression on her face, and responded lightly: "Which company doesn't want outstanding talents? I am certainly no exception.

Besides, employees will definitely choose to work in a place where they are paid better and can impress them more. You must understand this, right? "

Li Jiawei kept smiling and nodded slightly. How could she not understand? Back then, she earned 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a month and hoped every day that a company would pay her 20,000 yuan. If that happened, she would definitely quit her job and change jobs without hesitation.

Li Jiawei said, "I agree with what you said. However, I know your purpose very well. Do you really think that if she joins your company, you will get what you want?"

Li Xuanbao raised a meaningful smile, gently turned the dark teacup in her hand, and looked at Li Jiawei: "Oh? Tell me, what do you think I want?"

Li Jiawei looked directly into Li Xuanbao's eyes, her smile still there, but no longer gentle, but with a bit of sharpness that saw through everything: "You just want me to lose control of my emotions in front of you, to see me fall from my high place and become penniless again.

You want to prove that you are always better than me."

When Li Xuanbao heard Li Jiawei say this, a subtle change flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to normal, chuckling and denying, "You think too much."

Li Jiawei was not fooled by her words, and her tone remained calm: "Whether I am overthinking or not, you and I both know it in our hearts.

I always thought you were a man who dared to act and take responsibility, but until now, I still don’t understand why you were targeting me?

I have thought about it over and over again, and I believe that there is no conflict of interest between you and me.

But over the past year or so, everything you've done has been directed at me, and I just want to know why."

Li Xuanbao slowly raised her head and locked her eyes with Li Jiawei. The two stared at each other for a long time, and the air seemed to freeze.

After a long while, Li Xuanbao spoke slowly, with no emotion in her voice: "I have been thinking about this too. Perhaps, from the very beginning, your appearance was a mistake. If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't be scrutinized all the time? I'm still me, and you're still you. How wonderful!"

Hearing such an inexplicable accusation, Li Jiawei was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, her smile full of disappointment and ridicule: "According to what you said, the conflict between us is all my fault?

If that's all, I really think highly of you."

Li Xuanbao leaned back and sank lazily into the back of the chair, his eyes still fixed on Li Jiawei, and responded slowly: "Whatever you think, my business layout has already begun, and I will defeat you in your field."

Li Jiawei sighed tiredly. She didn't want to compare herself with others, but it seemed that in this circle, she was always competing and fighting!

There was a hint of helplessness in her tone: "From the very beginning, I never thought of confronting you.

But I retreated again and again, only to find that I couldn't avoid this fight at all.

After all, struggle is never a one-person thing. Since you have already made your move, I have no other choice but to accompany you to the end with all my strength."

Li Xuanbao curled her lips, revealing a confident and slightly arrogant smile, and said firmly: "Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh in the end!"

She paused for a moment, a trace of unquestionable ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and added: "From childhood to adulthood, as long as I want something, I will get it."

Li Jiawei looked at her quietly, and she found that it was not until this moment that Li Xuanbao revealed his true face in front of her.

Li Jiawei was lost in thought for a moment, then said, "Of course I know your methods.

Just like when you were a teenager, you knew that you were not the biological daughter of the Li family, but you kept this secret tightly hidden until they discovered the truth themselves.

You were so young at that time, but in order to protect your identity as the daughter of the Li family, you knew how to hide your true intentions. It is hard to imagine how deep your thoughts were. "

When Li Xuanbao heard Li Jiawei say this, her eyes suddenly became sharp. She looked at Li Jiawei coldly and asked, "You knew this a long time ago? Are you blaming me by saying this now? Do you want to see how I react to this?"

Want to see me feel guilty?" After saying that, Li Xuanbao shook her head gently, with a smile on her face, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I never regret anything I've done.

If I hadn't concealed it at the beginning, I wouldn't have everything I have now, and I wouldn't be qualified to sit here and drink tea with you."

Li Jiawei's eyes fell directly on Li Xuanbao's face, and her voice was a little cold: "I know in my heart that your moral bottom line is not that high, so from the beginning, I didn't expect you to regret what you did to me.

Morality is all about personal conscience, but from what I can see right now, I'm afraid you don't have any conscience at all."

Li Xuanbao has always believed in a saying: Good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years.

In her eyes, in this world, most of the time, it is the selfish people who reap the benefits, while the kind-hearted people can only suffer in silence.

Because of this, she would rather take the initiative and scheme against others than be schemed against by others and suffer any loss.

Li Xuanbao raised her eyes slightly and returned Li Jiawei's gaze, her tone full of sarcasm and teasing: "So, I got everything today!

Tell me the real reason why you came to see me today? But I don't believe that you asked me to come here just to argue with me about morality.
