"I won't do it again, I swear!" Li Wenwen was on the verge of tears.

The man had no intention of being gentle; his two thumbs were digging into her cheeks, rubbing hard. The pain made her cry out.

"Alright, that's enough of that," Sun Dasheng said, releasing his thumbs. He slid his hands to the back of her head and with a gentle press, forced Li Wenwen to her knees.

She looked up like a panicked little deer, her eyes filled with confusion.

"I have a lot of pent-up frustration right now!"

Then he closed his eyes, tilted his chin up slightly, and let out a long, satisfied 'Hssssss...'

「....」

When Li Wenbo entered, a group of men and women were chatting and laughing in the private room.

He smiled with contentment. My daughter has finally loosened up. Not like before, when she always wore such a stern expression.

"President Li, you're here?" Sun Dasheng greeted him, looking refreshed and invigorated.

"President Sun, is the conversation going well?" Li Wenbo asked cautiously.

Sun Dasheng understood what he was getting at and smiled. "President Li, you have a fine daughter."

"Hehe... You're too kind. She's been spoiled rotten at home. It's a blessing she hasn't offended you, President Sun," Li Wenbo said humbly.

"Nonsense, President Li. I've always been fond of your Wen Wen; otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to meet with you. And please don't mind me for being so blunt—it's precisely because you have such a wonderful daughter that I felt you were someone worth getting to know. I have so many other things to handle, why would I waste my precious time on a stranger? Don't you agree?"

"Oh... President Sun, your words truly resonate with me. To be honest, I've been very anxious. I know there's a huge gap between us, and trying to get acquainted with a man of your stature felt like a pipe dream. I never expected you to be so gracious and easygoing as to accept my invitation. Now that you've said this, I understand completely—it's all thanks to my daughter.

"Rest assured, Wen Wen is our little princess at home. Even though she has an older brother, our family doesn't favor boys over girls. I was already planning to have her take over the family business."

This torrent of heartfelt, yet utterly insincere, words flowed out with surprising naturalness.

Not favoring boys over girls? Planning to give the family business to his daughter? What a load of crap.

As he listened to Sun Dasheng, Li Wenbo's mind raced. A major figure like him wouldn't say these things just to make small talk. There's a deeper meaning here. A deeper meaning that's almost certainly about my daughter.

He immediately realized that his daughter was his best bargaining chip.

What are these promises I'm making now? Nothing! As long as my business can ride President Sun's coattails, it's destined for greatness. I wouldn't even feel bad about giving the entire business to my daughter in the future. As for my son's share, I can earn that back later. I'm still young; I can work hard for another twenty years.

Sun Dasheng stared at him in astonishment. Was that really what I meant? My point was simple: we aren't that close, so don't get any funny ideas. We can be ordinary friends, and that's it. If you don't know your place, then the goodwill your daughter has earned you will vanish. But he seems to have completely misunderstood. He's practically falling over himself to hand the business over to his daughter. That's not what I meant at all!

Sun Dasheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
