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

Li Xiaofeng angrily interrupted her, "That's not important at all. Haven't you thought about why you almost fell into their hands? It's because you were greedy."

In the company, I assigned you the position of operations and planning, not business. Even your connections at Shanghai TV Station were taken over by Sun Wenxuan. Why do you think I arranged it this way?

"But you, without even saying hello, went straight to a nightclub to drink with some people. Aren't you just a shameless slut who offered yourself up to them?"

"I..." Liu Qianqian hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Li Xiaofeng sneered and continued, "Liu Qianqian, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Doing business is just an excuse. Aren't you just trying to find a bigger backer and cling to a stronger leg?"

Don't you even consider your own capabilities? Do you really think that people will take you seriously based solely on your actual abilities?

I thought this was at school, where a smiley face would make people fawn over you?

Dream on!

Then, he turned his face away angrily and said irritably, "I was a fucking idiot. I stayed in school for too long and my brain got all waterlogged. I didn't even consider the impact and consequences of this on myself before I rushed in."

I already have a lot of people around me now, and they will all suffer collateral damage because of this. I shouldn't have stopped this woman from making money and climbing the social ladder!

"If I hadn't gone last night, I'd still be living a carefree life, and that Liu, the school beauty, would have successfully climbed the social ladder. I'm such a bastard!"

After saying that, Li Xiaofeng slapped himself hard across the face, the sound crisp and startling the two girls, who were at a loss for what to do.

After a long while, Liu Qianqian spoke weakly, "Xiaofeng, you really misunderstood me. I really didn't mean that. Sun Wenxuan said he has a big client who is a bit difficult to deal with, and asked me to help him cooperate."

I didn't think much of it at first. The restaurants I went to with them were all reputable ones. Sun Wenxuan was also there. Mr. Wei said that he appreciated our business capabilities and was very interested in us. I was also thinking of bringing more business to the company!

As for the invitation to the XXXX nightclub, Mr. Wei said it was for signing a contract and that Sun Wenxuan would be there, but when I got there I found out that Sun Wenxuan wasn't there at all.

I originally wanted to leave, but they stopped me from going. I didn't want to offend Mr. Wei too much, so I decided to sit there for a while before leaving.

Li Xiaofeng sneered again: "Come on, you've had quite a bit to drink. Is it really necessary to drink so much just to sign a contract?"

"At first, I didn't drink any alcohol, I just drank juice. Later, I found myself getting a little dizzy and something felt wrong. Luckily, I hadn't drunk too much juice, so I was able to hold on and that's when I secretly called you."

Later, I drank alcohol to buy time, afraid they would force-feed me juice and then take me away!

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "Women are only good at being clever. If I hadn't come last night, or if I had come a little late, your little bit of cleverness would have been useless!"

"Xiaofeng, no matter what, I will definitely remember this favor!"

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand and said impatiently, "No need. I slapped you, so we're even. Liu Qianqian, if you encounter something like this again, don't call me."

I've thought it through, Liu Qianqian. I'm not your lapdog, nor do I want to be one, and I certainly won't let you summon me and dismiss me at will.

I've thought about this matter a lot since yesterday. You and I are both adults now, and everyone should be responsible for their own actions!

Liu Shasha sighed and said softly to Li Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, I know that President Wei has a lot of influence and is not someone to be trifled with. He'll bring you a lot of trouble..."

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand again, his tone filled with confidence and arrogance: "Although I, Li Xiaofeng, have no power or influence, I have worked my way up to where I am today and have never been afraid of anyone!"

Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. Miao Peipei and her brother Miao Bingkun have an irreconcilable hatred for that guy surnamed Wei. Last night, Miao Bingkun almost killed that guy surnamed Wei.

Miao Peipei is my woman, and she trusts and relies on me a lot. I can't ignore her affairs, so sooner or later I will have to confront that Wei guy head-on.

However, I am still not fully capable and it is not advisable to have a direct conflict with someone surnamed Wei. Therefore, I tried my best to restrain myself during last night's conflict and kept it within a certain range.

The problem is that what happened last night wasn't just a question of whether it should have been done, but also whether it was worth it!

Judging from what happened last night, should we have done this? I think we should have, because if I hadn't done it last night, Qianqian would have faced serious consequences.

As for whether it was worth it, I don't think it was at all. To drag a whole group of people, including myself, into this for the sake of a greedy woman—I just don't think it was worth it!

Liu Qianqian bit her lip, looking somewhat lost, and said, "Xiaofeng, was I wrong about what happened last night? I don't think I did anything wrong. After all, I was thinking about the company's interests and doing things for you!"

Sigh, in this society, is it really that difficult for women to do things they want?

Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, his tone softening slightly.

Do you know why the ancients said that beautiful women often have tragic fates?

Liu Shasha thought for a moment, then said irritably, "Isn't this all just men's excuses? They blame us women for everything. Are you saying that women are all troublemakers?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and shook his head.

"I'm talking about the woman herself. A woman's beauty is both a gift and a curse from God. The more beautiful the woman, the heavier the curse!"

"How do you say this?"

"When a woman is beautiful, she will attract more covetousness than an ordinary girl. Also, beautiful women are often full of self-confidence, have high expectations for the future, and have strong desires."

"Is it wrong to be pretty? Is being pretty a woman's original sin?" Liu Qianqian looked aggrieved.

"To some extent, that's true. Beautiful women often unconsciously use their beauty as a weapon, a means, or even a special ability to gain many extra benefits."

Little did they know that using this so-called special ability would backfire. As the saying goes, "He who stands by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," which perfectly illustrates this point.
