A few days later, Cao Jinpeng found Li Xiaofeng, looking miserable, and said, "Third brother, how did you offend Mengyao? She said I should teach you a lesson, otherwise I'll have no chance to pursue her at all!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Don't mind her, she just choked on too much dog food!"

"She ate too much dog food? Why would she eat dog food? She has such a strange hobby, how come I didn't know!" Cao Jinpeng scratched his head, very puzzled.

In this era, the term "single dog" is not very popular, and the term "showing off love" is not widely used. Some people can quickly grasp the meaning of this term, but many people are still confused.

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "I fed her, but seeing how much she enjoyed eating, I felt bad about limiting the amount she ate."

Seeing Cao Jinpeng's bewildered expression, Li Xiaofeng had no choice but to explain to him in detail what a "single dog" was, what "dog food" meant, and what had happened at the time.

After listening to Li Xiaofeng's explanation, Cao Jinpeng said helplessly, "You really have nothing better to do than provoke her. It's not just that you provoked her, but I've also been caught in the crossfire."

"You deserve it! Who told you to go around being a lapdog? Now you're being treated like a dog!"

"Third brother, I'm begging you, for the sake of us being classmates and roommates, could you please help her and find a way to get revenge for her?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and readily agreed, "Sure!"

"Really?" Cao Jinpeng was somewhat incredulous.

"But you'll have to pay them some wages!"

"One hundred million!"

"Third brother, don't joke with me like that!"

"Who's joking with you? In just five years, I've made billions of dollars. For such a difficult job, the fact that I didn't ask you for a billion dollars is already out of consideration for us being classmates and roommates." Li Xiaofeng's tone was very serious.

Seeing Cao Jinpeng remain silent, Li Xiaofeng smiled and continued, "What, you're broke? If you're broke, why are you chasing after a girl like Le Mengyao? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"Is it wrong for me to want to pursue the woman I love?"

"Then go after him! Why do you have to drag me down with you? Don't you realize there's something wrong with what you're doing?"

"Third brother, just consider it helping out!"

Li Xiaofeng said earnestly, "Boss, you and I are no longer ordinary people. The influence of our every move has exceeded the imagination of many ordinary people."

If you ask me to go with you to be a sycophant for Le Mengyao, people will think I have ulterior motives towards Le Mengyao, or even towards the Le Group!

Furthermore, what will the people around me think of me? What will my management team think of me? What will my business partners with whom I have a stake think of me?

If we cause even the slightest trouble, it might affect how the higher-ups view me, you understand?

"It can't be that bad!" Cao Jinpeng still seemed somewhat dismissive.

Li Xiaofeng sneered and said irritably, "Maybe you haven't reached that level yet, but I've definitely already reached it."

That's why you can only be a simp in front of Le Mengyao, not even qualified to pursue her, while she told me that if even I wasn't qualified to pursue her, she might end up alone for the rest of her life.

Cao Jinpeng said somewhat sheepishly, "How can I compare to you!"

“Boss, the difference between you and me is not really a difference in wealth, but mainly a difference in understanding. When we first entered university, the wealth I had was just pocket money in your eyes.”

But now, putting everything else aside, Yue Mengyao says I'm qualified to pursue her, but I don't even consider that qualification a consideration. So what if she's the eldest daughter of the Yue Group? In my eyes, she's just another woman!

Li Xiaofeng's words finally made Cao Jinpeng lose face. He said unhappily, "Third brother, you're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. What's wrong with me pursuing a woman I like?"

"Nothing's wrong, everything's fine. If you want to pursue her, go for it!"

Li Xiaofeng no longer wanted to argue with him about this issue; he was more concerned about whether Lejia would shift its strategic focus back to the film and entertainment industry.

"By the way, I heard that Le Jiahao is planning to move into the film and entertainment industry?"

Cao Jinpeng looked unconvinced and smiled as he said, "To put it nicely, he's developing in the direction of film and entertainment, but in reality, he just wants to date a few female celebrities in the entertainment industry."

But those female celebrities are very pragmatic. Without sufficient benefits, how could they easily let him have his way?

With the decline of the Hong Kong film and television industry, the Lok family's influence in the entertainment circle is far less than before. People no longer respect them, so he had to personally take charge and revive the Lok family's reputation in the entertainment industry!

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "Making such a big fuss just to pick up a girl, that's such a waste of money!"

"Who wouldn't say that? That's why the Le family made Mengyao the CEO, while Le Jiahao is just a figurehead right now!"

"The Le family is currently developing real estate, so they must be facing some financial difficulties. At this critical juncture, Le Jiahao is still acting so irresponsibly. Hasn't Mengyao done anything about him?"

"Oh, don't even mention it. A few days ago, Le Jiahao went to Mengyao and pestered her, insisting that she withdraw some funds from the real estate sector to make movies and TV series. No matter how much he pleaded, she just wouldn't listen."

Mengyao was also annoyed by him, and on top of that, you showed her some disgusting PDA earlier, so she took it out on me.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and reminded him, "Could it be that Wei Jianjun instigated this? That guy Wei Jianjun is a real womanizer; he can't resist women."

I heard he's been hanging out with Le Jiahao every day lately, they seem to be getting along quite well. Do you think he's planning to get close to Le Jiahao so he can take advantage of that and try to get his hands on Le Mengyao?

Cao Jinpeng flew into a rage: "He wouldn't dare! If he dares to lay a hand on Mengyao, I'll chop off his dog paws!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a nonchalant tone, "Others may not dare, but it's hard to say about Wei Jianjun. Haven't he already taken advantage of the wives of the second and fourth brothers?"

Not long ago, didn't he try to harm my woman? He claimed he didn't know beforehand, but given Wei Jianjun's character, do you think you can believe a single word he says?

Cao Jinpeng gritted his teeth and said, "I understand now. So this is where the trouble started. It was this kid who did it. Mengyao is already overwhelmed with work, and he's still causing her trouble. I have to teach him a lesson!"

"Just teach him a lesson, that's enough. You are shareholders after all, don't burn bridges!"

"Don't worry, I'm measured!"
