Chapter 1377: Chapter 1378: Let’s Change Places and Sit for a While Longer

Li Shengxiao appeared indifferent, exuding a natural poise and distinguished stability that inexplicably made people trust him, “Yes, I understand, Mr. Cai.”

The man called Mr. Cai finally showed a smile again, patting his shoulder emphatically, “Good to know. It’s right for Li Group to align with the government authorities; you’re smarter than others. You’ll understand the bigger picture in time!”

The man glanced subtly at the hand resting on his shoulder, his deep gaze revealing nothing unusual before quickly shifting his attention to chat about other things with the middle-aged man in front of him. However, those familiar with him knew that he had a fear of germs and despised excessive physical contact with others. Apart from Rong Yan, from Li Group’s executives like Gu Ming down to assistants who have close contact with him, everyone was careful to avoid touching him. Only outsiders were unaware of this small habit, occasionally leading to such situations.

They had barely stepped out and exchanged a few words when a group of people following them also emerged from the restaurant.

Among them were senior executives from Li Group’s Public Relations Department and individuals from the Trade Department. In addition to Li Group, the Trade Department had also engaged with other companies, including their bosses who were present. Cai Wen and Li Shengxiao were at the very front, with others following behind, emerging from the restaurant in high spirits.

“Director Li, do you have other plans later? If not, how about we all move to another place and chat a bit more?” the boss of Hongsheng Group took the initiative to suggest.

The others, having eaten well and not yet ready to call it a night, quickly agreed, “There’s a part of the proposal you mentioned earlier that I didn’t quite grasp. I believe others would like to discuss it further too, right? Why don’t we give Mr. Hong some face and find another place to talk a bit more?”

The person agreeing with Mr. Hong from Hongsheng Group had an ambiguous relationship with them, leaping here and there, trying to ensure Hongsheng secured the bid this time.

He was also aware that Cai Wen favored Li Shengxiao more, so he was eager to create opportunities for Hongsheng. He took the initiative to say, “Director Cai, how about we change the venue later?”

Cai Wen, well-accustomed to the drinking culture of this circle, and with many influential figures from Capital City present, was reluctant to snub everyone. Being directly addressed, he showed a helpless expression and said with a smile, “Let’s make this clear, we old folks don’t have the same energy as you young people. We can find another place to talk, but I can’t stay out too late. My daughter is waiting for me to check her homework. I might have to leave first when it’s about time.”

As the main person in charge of this project, everyone had to show him respect. Once he spoke up, the rest scrambled to make excuses for him, flattering him.

“Director Cai is such a good father, his little princess is so fortunate~ Alright, don’t worry, we’ll just find a place and sit for a while, and Director Cai can leave first if he has to.”

“How can Director Cai be old? He is in the prime of life, vigorous and vibrant. We are envious of Director Cai—having a loving wife and daughter; truly a winner in life.”

“I had the fortune to meet the little princess last time. I heard she is also a top student, which is amazing~ ‘No dog under a tiger’s father’, she is sure to be a rising star in Capital City.”

Flattered by everyone, Cai Wen showed an embarrassed expression, waving his hands in laughter, “You all don’t need to butter me up. Talking about loving wife and daughter, winners of life and such. That little girl is just like her brother, both little devils.”
