Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Seeing the two people's somewhat disappointed expressions, Li Xiaofeng continued earnestly, "Of course, after the company has been operating for a year, I will make certain adjustments based on the company's actual operating situation."

We will also appropriately increase the number of your shares based on your contributions to the company as a reward, but certainly not as much as when the company was first established.

After all, the company has more and more employees now. If the company wants to develop healthily, I have to consider the overall situation. Some outstanding employees should also be given equity stakes.

Sun Wenxuan's face was somewhat gloomy, his eyes fixed on Li Xiaofeng, and he asked in a very displeased tone, "President Li, are you trying to cross the river and burn the bridge? Are you thinking of using us and then kicking us aside?"

Li Xiaofeng did not avoid his gaze and said calmly, "Then let me ask you, did I reduce your salary, demote you, or reduce your benefits?"

On the contrary, as I have already said, as long as you work hard to create value for the company, I will continue to increase the number of shares you receive. It's just that you are too greedy, so the compensation I give you is not as much as you expected!

"What, you want me to foot the bill for your greed? Who am I to you? Why should I pay for this?"

In the end, Sun Wenxuan left with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Li Xiaofeng was also about to leave, but Liu Qianqian stopped him.

"Mr. Li, is there anything important coming up later? How about we grab a bite to eat together?"

Since the beautiful woman took the initiative to invite him, and she was also a core member of his company, Li Xiaofeng readily agreed.

Soon, the two arrived at a tea restaurant, found a small private room, ordered their food, and began to chat.

"I heard Jiang Xueying has already gone abroad?" A meaningful smile appeared on Liu Qianqian's face.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said casually, "You didn't just find out, did you? Your news is a bit outdated. Xueying left before the New Year!"

"Not planning on finding another one?"

"That depends on fate. Women are easy to find, but girls as beautiful as Xueying and you are very hard to find!"

Sensing Liu Qianqian's emotions and subtle flirting, Li Xiaofeng seized the opportunity without hesitation or ambiguity.

In his dictionary, a bastard wouldn't hit on a girl, let alone a beauty like Liu Qianqian. Besides, she had already extended an olive branch, albeit only a little.

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "What, Xueying doesn't want you anymore, so you want to come to me? What do you take me for? I don't want what others don't want!"

Haha, this woman's getting all arrogant, trying to take advantage of me? You were the one who extended the olive branch first.

A woman's little tricks!

Li Xiaofeng chuckled: "Oh dear, nothing's even happened yet, and in your eyes I'm already no longer a person, but something?"

"Then tell me yourself, are you even a thing?" Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Are you trying to trap me? But this trap is so cliché. No matter whether I say I'm a decent person or not, you're going to insult me, aren't you?"

"Tch, aren't you the same? The girls who fall into your hands, aren't they all ruined by you?"

"It was mutual, or at least consensual. Besides, what do you mean by 'falling into my hands'? Did I use any underhanded or despicable means? Did I break the law?"

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him again and changed the subject.

"Aren't you afraid that if you confront Sun Wenxuan today, he might quit? If he jumps ship, the company's business will probably collapse by more than half!"

"Let it collapse. I don't really have any issues with him as a person. In business, it's always a matter of big shops bullying customers and customers bullying shops. Everyone has to compete with each other."

If I feel the company truly cannot do without him, then naturally I will try every means to retain him. But if I can't retain him, giving him more money won't help; I can't just give him the whole company!

Liu Qianqian smiled slightly and said tentatively, "You said before that you wanted to give the company to me!"

Li Xiaofeng looked directly at her and said with a smile, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Now, if you want this company, I'm not going to give it to you!"

"You're stingy? I knew you were just saying that to me casually!"

"No, that's not it. If you agree, I can give you 100,000 in cash every month, but I don't plan to give you the company!"

"Why!"

"On the one hand, the company has appreciated significantly thanks to your efforts. On the other hand, my net worth has skyrocketed again, and I plan to start my own business based on this company."

"Start a business? You've already got the company up and running, why would you want to start a business?"

"How could this small scale possibly meet my needs? I'm prepared to significantly increase the company's funding and go all out."

How much additional funding are you planning to invest?

"Initially, it would be at least in the tens of millions, it must be at least thirty million!"

"Wow, so much! You're investing so much money, will you even be able to attract business? The advertising industry is all about connections and resources. Aren't you afraid of wasting your money?!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said confidently, "I plan to forge a new path in the advertising industry, relying mainly on the market and minimizing reliance on personal connections and resources."

In my understanding, businesses that rely on personal connections and resources can't grow very large, especially since I don't have much of an advantage in that area. Therefore, competing in the market is the more advantageous direction for me.

"Could you tell me more about it?" Liu Qianqian asked, looking very interested.

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled, saying, "Not for now. This is a trade secret. Once my funds are ready and I start operating at full speed, you'll naturally find out what's going on!"

"You stingy person!" Liu Qianqian muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Me, a stingy person? Was Sun Wenxuan really generous to you? What did he give you? I heard he's already confessed his feelings to you?"

"I haven't agreed to his proposal yet, I'm still considering it!" Liu Qianqian looked up at Li Xiaofeng and explained weakly.

Then, she raised her voice somewhat discontentedly: "Anyway, he's better than you. At least he was willing to marry me and take responsibility for me, while you only want to get me into bed!"

"I'm willing to take responsibility for you!"

"How do you plan to take responsibility for me?" Liu Qianqian's big eyes blinked, revealing a hopeful light.

"Under my wings and protection, I will let you realize your full potential in life, and let you live a life of comfort and enjoyment with me. Isn't that enough?"
