Seeing Li Ziqing and Chen Xiao enter, the receptionist immediately tensed up, lowering her head as if she had done something wrong.

"President Li."

She called out timidly.

"You can leave first."

Li Ziqing frowned and waved her hand.

The receptionist was relieved, and walked out.

Li Zijian grinned at her and made a gesture of making a phone call: "Little sister, let's connect by phone~"

The little assistant blushed, not daring to respond, and hurried away.

"How did you become like this?"

Li Ziqing's frown deepened.

"What did I become?"

Li Zijian acted carelessly, blowing on his bangs, looking cynical. "You wouldn't want me to be the way I used to be, would you? Fat-headed, silent, wouldn't that make you uncomfortable?"

"At least it's better than you are now."

Li Ziqing said coldly.

"Alright, Sis, I think I'm pretty good the way I am now, so just leave me alone… If I were still the way I used to be, I wouldn't even be able to pick up girls, unlike now!"

Li Zijian looked smug, waving his phone at Li Ziqing to show off. "I've already got Miss Wang's phone number, how about that, not bad, right?"

Chen Xiao was speechless.

This kid was hopeless. Given his relationship with Li Ziqing, which company employee wouldn't try to curry favor with him?

Getting a phone number was something to brag about?

"Okay, let's get down to business, what did you come to me for?"

Li Ziqing's face showed impatience. If the old Li Zijian hadn't left her with the impression of an honest child, she would have kicked him out long ago.

"Nothing much, I just heard that your business is doing very well, so I came to take a look."

Li Zijian crossed his legs, looking up and down at the reception room, as if he were looking at his own home.

"Tell me the truth, what are you really here for?"

Li Ziqing's patience was running out.

"Sis, I want to discuss something with you."

Li Zijian's eyes suddenly lit up. "I want to work for your company and be a vice president."

"What can you do? You want to be a vice president right off the bat, don't you even look at what you are now?"

Li Ziqing looked at Li Zijian with a sneer. "If you're here to talk nonsense, then get the hell out of here!"

"Hey, Sis, why are you getting angry all of a sudden?"

Li Zijian grinned. "I'm just kidding with you, you look so scared. I know that you started this company from scratch, and it has nothing to do with us. I'm not here to steal your company. And to be honest, this small place like Jiangcheng, tsk tsk tsk, I wouldn't even come here if they wanted me to be the mayor. It's much more comfortable staying in the imperial capital!"

"How long are you going to keep talking nonsense?"

Li Ziqing frowned slightly. If Li Zijian said another word of nonsense, she would immediately call security to kick him out.

Because in her eyes, Li Zijian couldn't even be considered a relative.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore, I'll just say it straight…"

Seeing that Li Ziqing was serious, Li Zijian quickly said with a serious face, "Actually, it's like this, I'm also doing business now, and I recently came across a good project that's guaranteed to make money. Right now, I'm short of a partner with strong financial backing. Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? Since there's such a good opportunity to make money, why give it to outsiders? Don't you think that makes sense?"

"I'm not interested."

Li Ziqing directly refused before Li Zijian could even extend an invitation to her. "How many times do I have to ask you before you'll tell the truth?"

What business, what good project? Li Ziqing didn't believe a word Li Zijian said.

"Okay."

Li Zijian sighed, looking dejected. "I'm sorry, Sis, I'm really at the end of my rope…"

Li Ziqing narrowed her eyes. This kid was finally willing to tell the truth.

"Tell me, what's going on."

Li Ziqing said quietly, looking at Li Zijian as if he were a servant.

"Is he your bodyguard? Can you ask him to leave first?"

Li Zijian glanced at Chen Xiao and said.

"No!"

Li Ziqing refused without hesitation. "And he's not my bodyguard, he's my husband."

"So you're my brother-in-law. Where does brother-in-law work?"

Li Zijian asked with a grin.

"Jiangcheng Hospital."

Chen Xiao replied indifferently.

"Hospital? A doctor?"

Li Zijian immediately cried out, as if he had been stepped on.

"Sis, why did you find a little doctor to be your husband? Your status doesn't match!"

"Who I marry is none of your business?"

Li Ziqing glared at Li Zijian. "If you say another irrelevant word, get out of here immediately."

"Also, don't call me Sis. Your father severed our family ties a long time ago. In principle, we're just strangers."

Li Ziqing said sternly.

"Hehe, Sis, you're joking. That's all ancient history, why are you still holding a grudge? After all, blood is thicker than water. If you really didn't recognize me as your brother, you wouldn't have listened to me talking nonsense for so long, right?"

Li Zijian grinned, not taking Li Ziqing's words seriously at all.

Li Ziqing thought to herself, I'm not just holding a grudge, I want revenge.

The reason why she was willing to listen to Li Zijian's nonsense was just to find out about the current situation of those people.

"Get to the point! Why did you say you were at the end of your rope?"

Li Ziqing emphasized again.

"Sis, alas!"

Li Zijian sighed. "This time, only you can help your little brother…"

After Li Zijian's narration, Li Ziqing understood what was going on.

It turned out that Li Zijian, this good-for-nothing, came to her for help because he was in debt from gambling. If he didn't pay off the debt within three days, the creditor would chop off his hands and feet.

"That's it?"

After hearing his words, Li Ziqing immediately lost interest. "Okay, you can leave."

"Huh? Leave?"

Li Zijian was dumbfounded. "Sis, you're not planning to help me?"

"Why should I help you?"

Li Ziqing said as a matter of course. "Are we very familiar?"

"No, Sis… you're so rich now, the gambling debt I owe is just a drop in the bucket to you. You wouldn't just watch me get my hands and feet chopped off, would you?"

Li Zijian was anxious. He didn't expect Li Ziqing to really stand by and watch him die.

"I am very rich now, but why should my money be used on a piece of trash like you?"

Li Ziqing sneered. "Also, it has nothing to do with me if you get your hands and feet chopped off. Even if you get killed and die in the streets, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity for you."

Li Ziqing had a natural hatred for the Li family.

If Li Zijian was still the honest and simple child he used to be, Li Ziqing might have saved him out of sympathy.

But the way he was now, Li Ziqing couldn't find any reason to convince herself to help him…
