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

Although Li Qiuxia has always had a strong personality, her path to success has been too smooth, without experiencing any significant setbacks. Zheng Jingwei's words immediately put her in her grip.

People within the system are most afraid of having a stain on their record. If things get out of hand, it could even implicate her father.

His father's career is now thriving, and his achievements are evident to all. Given the opportunity, he might be able to advance even further.

Li Qiuxia regretted it deeply and wanted to strangle Zheng Jingwei, but now she could only try to cover it up first.

"But Xueying already knows about this, and she's already sent people to investigate on-site. Even if I wanted to help you cover it up, I couldn't!"

Seeing that Li Qiuxia's attitude had softened, Zheng Jingwei said smugly, "This matter is actually very simple to handle; it's just a matter of money!"

You've met a lot of wealthy people during this time, and you must be quite familiar with them now. Why don't you just go to these people and ask them to donate some more to you?

Remember this: don't use the Li Group's accounts, use my accounts. Then we'll cover the losses, and what can the Li Group say then?

“I don’t trust you now, so it’s impossible for us to use your accounts. If we’re going to use any accounts, it will be my own. Also, once this is over, this project will be terminated, and you can forget about ever getting your accounts approved by me again.”

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. As for other things, we'll talk about them after this is over!" Zheng Jingwei agreed vaguely, but secretly he was delighted.

Wei Jianjun is truly a talent; his control over people's hearts is impeccable. Everything is developing in the direction he envisioned. Once this matter has temporarily passed, he can use it as leverage to continue threatening Li Qiuxia into submission.

Even if he can't get her to make money for him anymore, it would still be good to win her over before marriage, as Wei Jianjun said.

In addition, Wei Jianjun also hinted to him that many wealthy bosses suffer from Mengde syndrome, and are very generous in matters of love and sex.

Women like Li Qiuxia, in terms of social status, looks, and figure, are definitely the kind of desirable women they dream of.

If he can be more open-minded and provide these bosses with some opportunities, it could be a great way to make money.

Zheng Jingwei was still hesitant about the suggestion. After all, in his heart, Li Qiuxia was his woman, and he didn't want to have a mistress on his head yet.

Judging from the current situation, the best solution is for him to join forces with Li Qiuxia, with Wei Jianjun acting as their strategist, and continue on this glorious path of charity.

So, in order not to implicate her father, Li Qiuxia had no choice but to start calling wealthy people, hoping they would generously donate money to fill the hole.

.......

In the chairman's office of the Li Group, Jiang Xueying smiled and said to Li Xiaofeng, "Dapeng just called me. Li Qiuxia contacted him and asked him to help donate some more money, and to transfer the money to her account."

"What did Boss Cao do?" Li Xiaofeng's face revealed a smile that showed he had everything under control.

"What else can we do? He donated money because of you. Now that Li Qiuxia wants to get away with it, she'll have to pay the price herself. Dapeng isn't a fool!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "As soon as Zheng Jingwei got involved, I knew there was something fishy going on. His father isn't exactly innocent either."

Now that the project has run into problems, Li Qiuxia, as the project leader, is certainly not immune to blame. Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, her first instinct is to cover it up; this is very much in line with the mindset of those within the system.

"Was she blackmailed by Zheng Jingwei?"

Li Xiaofeng thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "It's not that serious. I think it's mainly because of the relationship between the two of you, and you don't want to make a big deal out of this."

After all, if someone within the system gets into trouble like this, their future is basically ruined. If we really investigate, they might even end up working as a sewing machine operator.

"Then what do we do next?"

"We shouldn't do anything, just wait for Li Qiuxia to come to us!"

Jiang Xueying smiled meaningfully and said, "What are your plans for Li Qiuxia? You wouldn't happen to be interested in her and want to make her your woman, would you?"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "Am I crazy? Just the few of you are enough to keep me busy. What would I need so many women for? If I made her my woman, Secretary Li would fight me to the death. Would I bother with that?"

My relationship with Secretary Li has always been one of cooperation. Although we work together quite well, it's not as close as outsiders might imagine.

This Li Qiuxia is too arrogant. She's always looked down on me and interfered in my affairs. Helping her educate her daughter will help improve our relationship.

"How do you plan to educate her?" Jiang Xueying asked, her tone full of curiosity.

Li Xiaofeng said seriously, "First, I want her to understand that Li Qiuxia doesn't have that much influence. Without me, Li Xiaofeng, she wouldn't be able to raise any donations."

Secondly, my money didn't grow on trees. Didn't you complain that I didn't donate enough? Without me, she wouldn't even be able to get this much money.

Thirdly, everyone has two sides. Li Qiuxia isn't a saintly angel; when her own interests are involved, she might not be so noble after all.

Jiang Xueying said with a grin, "What if she manages to raise the funds and fill the hole?"

"If she can fill the hole herself, that's her skill. I'll just pretend this never happened. As for how she and Zheng Jingwei get along in the future, that's her own business."

However, regardless of whether we raise funds or not, we should take this opportunity to sever ties with her. I don't like cooperating with bureaucrats within the system.

I agreed to her request mainly to save face for Secretary Li and help her advance in her career, but she's been a bit ungrateful, and I won't indulge her too much!

"Aren't you afraid this will displease Secretary Li?"

"A gentleman's friendship is as light as water. If you want this friendship to last, you must first be equal in terms of personality. Secretary Li has power, but I, Li Xiaofeng, also have money."

"Even without Secretary Li, there are other secretaries out there. There are plenty of officials within the system who want to climb the ranks by leveraging my connections. In my heart, I don't consider myself inferior to him."
