Li Shaohu felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this.
Li Pingwei’s words conveyed a crucial piece of information: they were granting authority to their branch.
Li Shaohu immediately declared, "Dad… Qingyun is willing to contribute to the family and play the villain!"
Li Pingwei nodded. "Good, then the company's affairs will be led by you from now on!"
"Shaolong, you mustn't have any complaints. Special circumstances call for special treatment!"
"O...okay!" Li Shaolong swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.
Within the Li family, Li Pingwei, as the patriarch, held immense authority, his word practically law.
Therefore, any further arguments were useless; they could only comply with Li Pingwei's decree.
...
Li Shaolong and Li Shaohu left the Li family villa together.
A brilliant, triumphant smile spread across Li Shaohu's face. "Big brother, you didn't expect this, did you!"
"It's our branch's turn to hold power!"
Li Shaolong’s expression remained unreadable. "Since Dad has given you the authority, then do a good job. Don't think about unnecessary things!"
Li Shaohu let out a cold sneer. "Are you telling me how to do my job? I'm sorry, you're not qualified yet!"
Then, humming a triumphant tune, he departed.
The next day...
Qingmei Company.
Li Qingyun, accompanied by a group of people, strode into Li Qingmei's office.
She carried herself with an arrogant, dismissive air.
Li Qingmei was already aware of the decision Li Pingwei had made not long ago.
She found her grandfather's actions preposterous but could do nothing and say nothing, resigned to enduring it.
Li Qingyun shoved Li Qingmei aside, preparing to sit in her chair. Then, as if remembering something, she kicked it away. "Someone, replace this chair!"
"I find things used by useless people disgusting!"
She deliberately taunted Li Qingmei.
Li Qingmei’s anger flared, and she let out a cold snort. "Li Qingyun, don't get too carried away!"
Li Qingyun raised her head. "You are nothing now. What right do you have to speak to me in that tone? Who do you think you are?"
She raised her arm, intending to slap Li Qingmei.
However, Yu Xiaotong, standing beside Li Qingmei, blocked her.
Yu Xiaotong sharply admonished, "Li Qingyun, don't push your luck!"
Li Qingyun flinched from the painful grip on her arm and dared not act rashly, aware of Yu Xiaotong's strength.
Yu Xiaotong then roughly shook Li Qingyun's arm away and spat coldly, "A villain triumphant!"
Li Qingyun narrowed her eyes, unable to tolerate those words. She immediately ordered, "Get these useless weaklings kicked out. Their presence is negatively impacting our company's environment!"
"Yes, ma'am..."
The sycophants quickly began to boss Li Qingmei and her companions around, even resorting to physical aggression.
Thus, Li Qingmei and her group were roughly pushed out.
As for Li Qingyun, she was completely immersed in the pleasure of humiliating Li Qingmei. After being suppressed by Li Qingmei for so many years, she finally saw the light of day.
"So satisfying!"
Li Qingyun sighed contentedly, finally occupying the general manager's seat.
"Li Qingmei, Li Qingmei, you never expected this!"
"You have a day like this?"
"Haha..."
Li Qingmei and Yu Xiaotong descended to the ground floor, anger etched on both their faces.
Yu Xiaotong spat, "Sister, how could the old man be so muddle-headed? Doesn't he know what kind of person Li Qingyun is?"
Li Qingmei’s gaze deepened, and she clenched her fist. "No, I need to go see the old man!"
"I'll go with you!"
Yu Xiaotong said indignantly.
Li Qingmei did not refuse, and the two returned together to the Li family villa...
