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

Upon hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Le Xin'er's smile vanished, and she asked somewhat dejectedly, "What do you mean by that?"

"In this world, when you reach a certain level, you will understand one thing: there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there are no kind people who do not ask for anything in return."

If you want to go further, you need to exchange benefits with others. You have to offer something that others value in exchange for what you need. Otherwise, you should learn from ordinary people, be content with what you have, and just drift through life!

You seem carefree and nonchalant on the surface, but in reality, you value your future very much.

"For you, Luo Siyuan seems like a good choice. I don't know why you're so averse to him, but I know that if you rely on yourself alone, you'll barely make ends meet."

Li Xiaofeng had been observing Le Xiner's actions and expressions, while Le Xiner kept her head down and remained silent. Only after Li Xiaofeng finished speaking did she raise her head and ask, "Then will you help me?"

"It depends on my mood and the situation. My current cooperation with you is based on the fact that you are Tang Shanshan's friend and that you have decent business skills."

"You're so ungrateful! Don't forget, I saved you. If you were in jail, not to mention the sewing machine incident, your company and career would definitely be severely affected!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Attorney Le, I am indeed grateful to you for this matter, but the success of this matter depends first and foremost on the fact that I have not actually done anything wrong, but was just framed."

Secondly, this is what you should do as a lawyer. Although my case is somewhat tricky, it's not a huge problem. If you can't handle it, I can appeal. The evidence chain in this case is insufficient, so it's clearly going to be a tough fight.

Furthermore, I have already paid you sufficient compensation for this lawsuit you filed against me, and I have also entrusted you with the company's legal affairs, which is definitely enough to give you a fair return.

If this matter serves as the foundation of our friendship, then there's no problem with it. But if you're trying to use it as a basis for seeking favors in return, then unfortunately, I don't agree.

I am a businessman. If you want more from me, you must give me a sufficient return.

Of course, don't misunderstand, the "return" I'm referring to isn't just about physical intimacy. I don't lack women. I'm mainly talking about financial or resource-based returns.

"Physical reward? I never thought about having anything happen between us. Besides, do I, Le Xin'er, need to sell myself? If I wanted to sell myself, it wouldn't be your turn." Le Xin'er pouted, her face full of annoyance.

Li Xiaofeng smiled faintly: "I told you, I don't lack women!"

"You said before that you'd let me handle your company's IPO case, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Of course, I'm not that kind of person. I'd do it for anyone. Compared to Luo Siyuan, I'm definitely closer to you, so why wouldn't I do it for you?"

But there's a condition: you have to do a good job for me, and the price can't be higher than Luo Siyuan's. Attorney Le, my request isn't unreasonable, is it?

Le Xin'er looked a little disappointed, but still nodded.

The reason Li Xiaofeng told her so much was to clarify the relationship between the two of them.

Women, especially beautiful women, often have a high opinion of themselves and frequently take it for granted that they should receive special treatment from men.

Furthermore, men cannot make any demands, including reasonable requests for exchange of benefits; otherwise, they are considered to have ulterior motives and are considered subservient men.

In this life, Li Xiaofeng doesn't want to be taken advantage of again, especially by women.

At this moment, Liu Shasha walked over with a smile and said to Li Xiaofeng meaningfully, "Xiaofeng, what's wrong? Did you run into another soulmate?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Sister Shasha, what are you saying? That's not true. I'm not a Casanova, and I don't fall in love with every girl I meet. This is Attorney Le, our company's legal counsel, and Tang Shanshan's best friend!"

"You and Shanshan have a good relationship, don't you? How come you don't know Attorney Le?"

Liu Shasha seemed to want to get to know Le Xiner as well, so she extended her right hand to her and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Liu Shasha. Xiaofeng is my big client, our bank's cash cow."

Le Xin'er covered her mouth and chuckled, extending her right hand as well, and said with a grin, "Hello, Sister Shasha, what a coincidence, President Li is also one of my major clients."

Although we've never met before, Shanshan has talked about you. She said you're very capable and efficient, having risen to the position of bank loan manager in just a few years!

Liu Shasha smiled and said in an annoyed tone, "You don't need to flatter me. That stinky woman Shanshan would never praise me. She'd be more likely to talk bad about me behind my back!"

"Give me your contact information. Let's have a good talk sometime. Tell me all about how much that shrew Shanshan has been saying behind my back!"

Le Xin'er asked with some surprise, "Is Sister Shasha busy right now?"

Liu Shasha gave Li Xiaofeng a meaningful look and said in a calm tone, "I have something to discuss with Xiaofeng!"

Seeing Le Xin'er looking over, Li Xiaofeng shrugged and said indifferently, "I just had a very bad talk with Qin Kai and Boss Cao."

It's inconvenient to meet up with the other two classmates, and there's no point in staying any longer. We're not on the same page, so it's better to leave sooner rather than later.

Le Xin'er asked again, somewhat surprised, "What's wrong? I think Qin Kai is a pretty good guy!"

"Feeling is one thing, but reality is another. If you don't have enough IQ, EQ, and experience, sometimes you can deceive yourself."

Secondly, I was discussing matters of mutual benefit with them, not issues of character. Since our interests are aligned, good or bad character is no longer important!

Are you two planning to leave together?

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Le Xiner and said with a smile, "What, is it not allowed? Do I need to report to you first?"

Le Xin'er pouted and said to Liu Shasha, "Sister Shasha, don't be too nice to these stinky men. If you're too nice to them, they'll take advantage of you!"

Liu Shasha smiled and nodded: "I understand, no, Xiaofeng is a very nice person!"

Li Xiaofeng then said to Le Xiner triumphantly, "Sister Shasha just owes me a lot of money. She has to pay off her debts, no matter what. Just based on this sense of responsibility, Sister Shasha has already surpassed most women!"

Liu Shasha playfully punched Li Xiaofeng, then exchanged contact information with Le Xiner. Under Le Xiner's complicated gaze, she left the Qin family's manor with Li Xiaofeng.
