It was the end of the year in a few days, and Li Wenzhao became increasingly busy. Even Secretary Fan became elusive. Jing Yi couldn’t catch anyone, and there was no fun in the company.

Just when he was bored, he received a message from Li Mingzhi:

[Young Master]: Jingyi, it’s so strange, Ke Minghua has been so polite to me these past two days.

[Young Master]: He was still talking loudly to me a few days ago, but his attitude has changed so quickly in the past two days that I am beginning to wonder if he has been possessed by an evil spirit.

It’s not a possession, it seems the threat worked.

Jing Yi clicked his tongue: [Maybe I was suddenly impressed by your charisma.]

[Young Master]: Chuckling.

[Young Master]: But he suddenly stopped bothering me, and I was a little bored. There was no fun in the crew anymore.

Jing Yi pursed his lips, tapped the table with his fingertips, and thought, if you are the same as me, I will have no fun either.

If he continues like this, sooner or later he will have to perform a mushroom-growing show for Li Wenzhao in the office.

[Young Master]: Jingyi, come and accompany me.

[Young Master]: The variety show I filmed has been wrapped tonight, and there will be a wrap-up party in the evening. I want you to accompany me.

The wrap-up party, there must be many celebrities, directors and the like. Jing Yi is a bit averse to such occasions. Last time he attended an event, the small loudspeaker became a small speaker. He also fed a few ripe big melons to the reporters and netizens on the spot, which made everyone full.

But it also brought him fatal disaster.

Now he gets nervous when he hears about celebrity banquets, fearing that he will lose control again.

The phone vibrated.

[Young Master]: I booked the restaurant and arranged a lot of delicious food.

[Uncle Jing]: Send me your location, I’ll be there on time!

Celebrity scandals are not important, the worst that can happen is that he just doesn’t drink, but the delicious food cannot be missed.

After a while, Li Mingzhi sent the link.

The place was quite close, Jing Yi could get there directly without even taking a car. He checked the time. It was 4:30 in the afternoon and Li Wenzhao had not returned from his inspection yet.

Originally, Jing Yi also wanted to go with them. It was a bit cold outside, but everything he saw and heard was new. However, Li Wenzhao was going to a construction site this time, which was quite dangerous, so he left Jing Yi behind.

Jing Yi left a message for Li Wenzhao on his cell phone, packed up his things and left happily early.

When he was leaving, he happened to run into Li Ting coming out of the elevator. Li Ting glanced at him with a smile and said, “Our housekeeper Jing, are you leaving early?”

Jing Yi said helplessly: “Third Master, please stop being so sarcastic.”

Such a handsome young man, but as soon as he opened his mouth he became an old man.

Li Ting tossed the car keys in his hand and said nonchalantly, “Why, you can’t stand it? Then quit your job and come to work for me.”

Jing Yi raised an eyebrow: “Seeking death?”

Li Ting snorted coldly: “You can also see it as fighting poison with poison.”

You get used to it once you get used to it, right?

“What benefit did my elder brother give you that made you so devoted to him?” Li Ting bent down and put his head in front of Jing Yi: “A monthly salary of more than 20,000 is not much, not even as much as the car wheel I gave you last time, what do you want?”

Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes away slightly: “Based on my professional ethics.”

Li Ting uttered an ambiguous sound.

It would be a blessing if the silly and stupid butler didn’t cause trouble to his family. As for professional ethics, he was sorry to hear that he had never seen any in this guy.

Thinking of this, Li Ting looked over without concealing his gaze.

Jing Yi: “…”

Li Ting said: “Do you think I will believe it?”

“Just wait, I will find out what’s going on between you two sooner or later.” Li Ting stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of his eyes: “My eyesight is very sharp, no tricks will slip away under my nose.”

Jing Yi: “…”

Jing Yi moved his lips guiltily: “Okay, I’ll wait for the day when the Third Young Master solves the case.”

Li Ting narrowed his eyes: “Are you provoking me?”

Jing Yi’s heart skipped a beat. That wasn’t what he meant. How could this sentence be interpreted in this way?

Jing Yi tried to remain calm: “It’s encouragement.”

Arrogant housekeeper Jing, wait and see how I deal with you. Li Ting chuckled twice, “I have received your challenge, please step down.”

Jing Yi opened his mouth and felt that Li Ting was quite smart today. It was useless to argue, so he just turned around and ran away.

The temperature in the capital was getting lower and lower. As soon as Jing Yi went out, he was hit in the face by the cold wind. He wrapped himself with a scarf, zipped up his coat to his chin, put on the hood of his dress, wrapped himself up in a snow-white ball, and ran out.

On the way, he received a message from Li Mingzhi.

[Young Master]: Jingyi, we are here.

Jing Yi looked at the destination which was only across the street and typed tremblingly: [I am almost there too.]

[Young Master]: I see you, Jingyi.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a low-key SUV stopped steadily. Li Mingzhi, who was also wrapped tightly, got out of the car by holding the door, stood on tiptoe across the street and waved at him, with his agent and assistant beside him.

Jing Yi waited for a red light, and when the traffic stopped, he quickly ran over, “I’m here, is dinner ready?”

“…” Li Mingzhi pursed his lips and said, “You are so hungry that you don’t care about what you eat. I am beginning to suspect that my eldest brother has been abusing you during this period of time.”

Jing Yi thought for a moment: “If mental abuse counts.”

Li Wenzhao usually looks calm and gentle, but he is actually quite cheerful behind the scenes. When it comes to bickering, he basically never wins.

Not being able to win an argument could probably be considered mental oppression… I guess.

“What?” Li Mingzhi was shocked. “You’ve suffered, Jingyi. Don’t worry, I will work hard on the filming and try to redeem you from Big Brother as soon as possible.”

Jing Yi: “…”

I’m sorry, young master, it seems that your image has been accidentally damaged a little.

“Ming Zhi.” A familiar voice came from inside the restaurant door.

Li Mingzhi’s eyes lit up when he heard the voice: “Yuan Jiu… Teacher Chu.”

The tall man suppressed his smile and nodded: “The director and the others are here, let’s go in.”

Jing Yi looked left and right, as if he could see a sweet world of pink bubbles at the fingertips of the two people.

The heating was on in the restaurant, and it felt warm as soon as he entered. Jing Yi took off his scarf and hat, and then buried his head in unzipping his chest.

He focused on the movements of his hands and gradually moved away from Li Mingzhi.

“Jingyi?”

Li Wenzhao’s voice fell above his head.

Jing Yi looked up in astonishment: “Master, why are you here?”

Besides Fan Ming, there were several middle-aged men around Li Wenzhao, who looked like business partners. Li Wenzhao took two steps forward and asked, “Why aren’t you answering the phone?”

Jing Yi looked down at his phone and said, “It was too cold. I didn’t see it.”

Li Wenzhao’s message and his message were placed together without any time difference, and it seemed like they were replied instantly. How could he still have time to check his phone when he was so busy, Jing Yi thought.

Li Wenzhao turned around and said a few words to a few middle-aged men. They left without objection, and Secretary Fan also went to the garage to drive the car.

“Young Master, why are you here too?” Jing Yi asked.

“I’m just passing by.” Li Wenzhao glanced at his watch, as if he had some other plans. “Is this the place you and Mingzhi agreed to meet at?”

“Yeah.” Jing Yi said, “They have already entered the box.”

“Okay, I’ll let Uncle Lin wait for you outside.”

Jing Yi asked curiously: “Do you still have a job?”

“It’s not work.” Li Wenzhao’s tone was unusually playful: “Shen’s annual meeting is being held, and they also sent me an invitation.”

Annual meeting?

Jingyi smelled a unique scent of liveliness.

“Didn’t Shen’s just get through the financial crisis? Why are they holding another annual meeting?”

Last time it was an anniversary celebration, and this time it’s an annual meeting. Why are there so many weird things happening to the main characters?

“It is precisely because the crisis has passed that Shen Shubai is eager to restore his reputation at the annual meeting.” Li Wenzhao said in a calm voice.

Jing Yi became interested after hearing this: “Then can I go too?”

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: “You’re not going to attend the celebrity banquet?”

Jing Yi shook his head like a windshield wiper: “No, no, I’m not going to attend. I’m hungry now. Let’s go to the Shen’s annual meeting and eat. We can watch the fun and save some money on the meal. It’s a good deal.”

Li Wenzhao was amused by him and said, “Okay.”

Before leaving, Jing Yi sent a message to Li Mingzhi, saying that he was going to fight monsters with Li Wenzhao. Although Li Mingzhi felt a little regretful, he kindly expressed his understanding and asked Jing Yi to play another game with him later.

After resolving his worries, Jing Yi followed Li Wenzhao directly to the protagonist’s annual meeting.

This time the scene was much bigger than the last Shen’s anniversary celebration. Qin Ningning invited many stars to add to the fun. Countless celebrities and wealthy people gathered at the scene, and there were even many reporters following the report.

“Wow.” Jing Yi looked around: “This place is so big, there must be a lot of delicious food.”

Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes: “No drinking.”

Jing Yi pursed his lips regretfully: “I know.”

Jing Yi had already experimented twice on Shen Shubai about the effect of the sound system, and it was so powerful that he didn’t want to try it a second time in his life.

The fact that Li Wenzhao understood and accepted this kind of thing only showed that he was advanced in thinking, very tolerant, and could accept anything. But if other people discovered the bug in him, he might be caught for research, and his limbs and brain would be disassembled for analysis and understanding.

Ah! Jing Yi shuddered, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t drink it.”

Li Wenzhao got a headache when he heard his tone: “How many times have you said this?”

Jing Yi closed his mouth: “…”

Why can’t people have more trust in each other?

“Hey, Mr. Li is here.” Shen Shubai came in a champagne-colored handmade dress. “This is my Shen’s annual meeting. What do you think?”

He glanced around and saw the round-eyed boy behind Li Wenzhao. His face froze and his expression turned fierce in an instant.

Jing Yi blinked innocently. What happened to the protagonist brother? The hair on his neck stood up.

Like a black lion king.

Li Wenzhao smiled superficially: “Not bad.”

Shen Shubai’s smile widened, and the champagne in his hand swayed slowly: “A few days ago, Shen’s funds were in crisis, which made Mr. Li boast for a while. Now, the situation has changed, and good luck has come to my family again.”

Li Wenzhao said calmly: “I hope Mr. Shen can keep this good luck.”

Shen Shubai: “Of course.”

At this time, a staff member approached and whispered something to Shen Shubai. Shen Shubai smiled and said, “Since it is an annual meeting, we must give employees some holiday gifts to let them feel the humanistic warmth of the company.”

The person in charge responded: “Yes, yes, yes…”

Li Wenzhao and Shen Shubai exchanged some barbs with each other, while Jing Yi’s attention was attracted by a large box in the corner.

He looked at the two people who were talking and slipped away quietly.

“Hmph, the event can begin now.” Shen Shubai put down his wine glass and said to the person in charge, “Have someone bring the boxes up. I will personally host this year’s annual meeting.”

Person in charge: “Okay, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Shubai walked away with a swagger. Li Wenzhao turned around and was about to say something to the housekeeper, but in a blink of an eye, the person next to him disappeared.

Li Wenzhao scanned the entire hall before he saw a familiar figure in the corner.

He walked over: “What’s wrong?”

Jing Yi turned his head, his eyes brightened: “I seem to have gotten into trouble again.”

Li Wenzhao: “?”

Did you drink? Not really. No smell of alcohol.

Just as he was about to ask in detail, he heard Shen Shubai on the stage holding the microphone and speaking: “Everyone, today is our Shen’s annual meeting. I am very happy that everyone here is here to support us. Today, in order to thank everyone for their support and company, the company will give everyone benefits.”

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

Shen Shubai was greatly encouraged and asked someone to bring up a cardboard box. “Inside this is a gift I prepared personally. All Shen’s employees can come on stage to draw a lottery. This is my early New Year’s gift to everyone!”

“Wow.”

“Mr. Shen is so powerful!”

Many people were eager to go on stage to draw the lottery. The protagonist, Shen Shubai, received them in a friendly manner. Reporters stood below the stage and took pictures. If nothing unexpected happened, tomorrow’s newspaper headlines would definitely be full of praise for Shen Shubai.

“Wow! Aaaaaaaaah I got it!”

Shen Shubai smiled: “Okay, let’s see what the first lucky employee has drawn…”

“Lamborghini! I won a Lamborghini!” the employee shouted.

Shen Shubai’s smile froze on his face.

“Lamborghini!”

“It’s actually such a luxury car!”

“Shen’s is such a big spender!! I want to try it too!”

“Conscientious entrepreneurs, people like Mr. Shen who treat money like dirt are almost extinct now.”

“When will it be my turn? I’m afraid all the items will be sold out.”

“What are you afraid of? Director Shen just said that everyone can participate in the lottery.”

“…”

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows and looked down at the butler beside him: [You did it? ]

Jing Yi smiled and pursed his lips: [I didn’t get into trouble, did I? ]

[No.] Li Wenzhao chuckled helplessly: [You have done a great job.]

It’s a pity that the butler could come up with such a business warfare tactic. If there were more such notes, the funds that Shen Shubai had worked so hard to raise would be lost in an instant.

There were reporters at the scene, so Shen Shubai couldn’t regret it even if he wanted to.

The reputation he created for himself eventually became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Meeting Jing Yi in such a huge crowd was his retribution.

“…” Jing Yi turned around and accused: “I heard it, you are scolding me.”

“No, this is a compliment to you.”

Jing Yi: “…”

Li Wenzhao rubbed his erect head and said in his heart: [What else did you put in? ]

Jing Yi was stunned: [How do you know there is more? ]

Li Wenzhao: [Intuition.]

When the young butler makes a move, it’s like destroying the world. This is just the beginning.

As soon as Jing Yi moved his mouth, he heard another excited roar from the stage.

“Ahhh, The famous mansion! I’ve been renting a house all my life, and now I finally have a home. Mr. Shen… Woo, woo, woo, I’m so touched. You really treat your employees as family members!”

Shen Shubai’s face turned green: “…”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Jingyi: OuO
