Jing Yi and Li Wenzhao had just returned from the suburbs when they ran into Li Xu and Li Ting, who had disappeared for a few days, at the doorstep of their home.

Li Xu had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were slightly sunken, he had a blue beard growing on his chin, and he looked in a very bad mental state.

Jing Yi poked his head out from behind Li Wenzhao to take a look.

What is going on here?

This paragraph is not included in the original text!

“Brother…” Li Xu was distraught: “She neither forgives me nor accepts me.”

Jing Yi retracted his head: [Oh, emotional pain. ]

Li Wenzhao pushed the restless head beside him back and asked, “Where’s Miss Xie?”

Li Ting sighed, “Originally, Miss Xie went to the mountains to collect folk songs, and my second brother followed her all the way, but ended up pissing her off. Now she wants to stay in the local area to teach, and she refuses to come back. On the way back, my second brother encountered a landslide and was buried for several hours. He was like this when he came out.”

“Second brother.” Li Wenzhao said calmly, “Go home first, wash up and rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you wake up.”

Li Xu hung his head in dejection and said nothing, but finally Li Ting carried the man back to the room.

Li Wenzhao caught the person hiding behind him and asked, “Why are you hiding?”

“The second young master is in a bad mood.” Jing Yi said.

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: “So?” What is the relationship between the two?

Jing Yi said calmly: “I am full and my face is rosy. I am afraid of upsetting the Second Young Master.”

Li Wenzhao seemed to chuckle: “The second brother is not so stingy.”

Jing Yi nodded in agreement.

Well, he is almost dying now.

After staying outside for a day, Jing Yi was very worried that his bed was moved away by Li Wenzhao, so he hurried back to the room and saw that the bed was still there, just as it was when he left.

Jing Yi felt relieved, changed into clean clothes, and threw himself on the bed.

He felt good.

Dinner time was moved forward half an hour because the other two young masters in the family had returned. Li Xu still looked so pitiful, so Aunt Fang specially stewed a pot of black chicken soup, and the whole table of food was mainly for nourishment.

However, Li Xu had no appetite, and his eating movements were just imitating a sloth.

Li Wenzhao came back after having a full meal with Jing Yi outside. The young butler had a good appetite and everything tasted delicious to him. Even Li Wenzhao couldn’t help but eat a little more. Before he could react, he was full. He held the bowl and drank some soup without touching his chopsticks.

Li Ting had been digging in the wild mountains for several hours and was very hungry. Seeing that Li Wenzhao had stopped eating, he was curious: “Brother, why aren’t you eating? Are you not eating well?”

“No.” Li Wenzhao said, “I came back from having a full meal with Jingyi.”

Li Ting snorted and laughed: “Are you sure he came back only after he had eaten his fill?”

?

Li Wenzhao turned his head and looked towards the end of the table.

Today’s dinner was very sumptuous. Jingyi picked up grilled wings, pork ribs with preserved plums and stewed corn, and scooped a bowl of soft black chicken soup. He sat at the table and ate without looking up.

The brothers of the Li family received elite education since childhood, and had strict requirements on their physical posture, so even when eating, they kept their backs straight, with an elegant posture, holding the bowl and chopsticks and chewing slowly.

Unlike the little housekeeper, who buried his head in the bowl and dug into the rice to eat.

Li Mingzhi was still adding more food to his plate: “Butler Jing, eat slowly, there’s more.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

It seemed like his stomach and the butler’s stomach were not the same.

“That’s enough, young master.” Jing Yi hugged the bowl and tried to stop him: “I can’t eat anymore.”

Li Mingzhi was still not satisfied: “I was afraid that you couldn’t beat Third Brother, so I quickly helped you grab these.”

Li Ting:?

You are really my good brother.

Jing Yi was touched: “Next time, young master, I’ll hold on.”

Li Ting looked at Jing Yi with interest and snorted, “Butler Jing, you look more like a refugee than my second brother.”

Jing Yi: “…”

Li Xu raised his head from his bowl: “……?”

After finishing the meal, Jing Yi felt full and collapsed in a chair to relax alone.

Li Wenzhao gave him some hawthorn slices to help him digest food, “You never learn your lesson. You only stop eating when you’re full.”

Jing Yi said: “It’s like this, you can only think about losing weight after you have eaten and drunk enough.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

The weekend is over and it’s Monday again.

Li Wenzhao and Jing Yi had just entered the office when Fan Ming rushed in like a whirlwind, saying excitedly, “Boss Li, I found out everything!”

Jing Yi was shocked. Wow, what a great achievement! He roared at such a loud voice.

Li Wenzhao raised his chin and asked, “What did you find out?”

Fan Ming smiled: “Shen Shubai really wants to set a trap for our Li family, but he will probably fail this time.”

Fan Ming did not keep the audience in suspense and quickly explained everything he had found out in the past few days from beginning to end.

After listening to this, Jing Yi understood: “Did Shen Shubai poach the bad artists that Shengshi hadn’t had time to terminate the contract with?”

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows in a good mood. He was worried about how to close this extra-curricular prison and was afraid that he would have to wear the warden’s hat for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, Shen Shubai actually took it over voluntarily.

Fan Ming said excitedly, “Yes, he was hired with a high salary, and according to the contract, he paid Shengshi Company three times the liquidated damages.”

Jingyi: Wow!

What a nice guy.

Jing Yi blinked, incredulous: “All of them?”

Fan Ming nodded vigorously: “Yes, all of them.”

Those artists who were being terminated by Shengshi had been making trouble in the branch for a long time and were unwilling to leave. However, the newly promoted senior executives of Shengshi were quite capable and kept the matter secret, and not a single piece of information leaked out.
