Everyone knew King Yama Liu, his real name was Liu Yanwen, but due to his cold and ruthless behavior, employees called him King Yama Liu. The nickname spread quickly, both among employees of his own company and those of other companies, he was referred to as King Yama Liu behind his back.
He has been known to resort to extreme methods, but he himself is quite capable, he has an exceptional knack for creating wealth out of nothing.
Although the employees and collaborators complained about him behind his back, they still followed him because of the substantial profits he could bring.
In the business world, the principle everyone adheres to is, the one who makes money is the boss.
Another female employee covered her mouth in surprise, "No way, our General Huang is such a saint, has he also been given the name Maria?"
Shi Li knew why these two people would be surprised; a few years ago, Little Fatty's Uncle was duped by Liu Yanwen and had a big stumble, almost bankrupting the company, and almost ended up as a rooftop kite flyer.
By playing this trick on Little Fatty's Uncle, Liu Yanwen made a fortune. His half-dead company went public directly.
In the few years that passed, Little Fatty's Uncle's company gradually recovered.
Finally, Song Ying finished the cream cake in her hand. She wiped her mouth to ensure she had no cream on her lips before raising her head.
As soon as she looked up, she saw that Shi Li, although appearing to be engaged on his phone and looking at the screen, the phone was in fact, in sleep mode.
This was clearly not someone playing with their phone.
Song Ying's clever little head remembered Shi Li's expression from eating melon seeds just now, and noticed that he was still observing.
But what puzzled Song Ying was, Shi Li should have said something while listening in.
But until now, Shi Li has not said a word.
Although Song Ying didn't understand the full implications of the conversation, she knew this must be a significant matter.
Therefore, our good comrade Song Ying secretly picked up her phone, sending messages to her friends in a small group chat, giving her exact location and transcribing other employees' conversation verbatim.
Among Shi Li's friends, some stubborn ones were still stalking Bai Qianqian and Sun Shouli.
Other people, following Song Ying's directions, came over.
Song Ying put away her phone, keeping a low profile.
Not far away, two female employees were still discussing the matter. "Could it be that General Huang wants to make money with King Yama Liu?"
"It's not impossible. There's no shame in making money."
Upon hearing this discussion, Shi Li was puzzled: [This is wrong, Little Fatty's Uncle holds a grudge against King Yama Liu, how could they possibly do business together?]
Only now did Song Ying realize that General Huang is Little Fatty's Uncle. She didn't know about the grudges between them, so she was filled with questions.
Shi Li wanted to witness the surprising reconciliation scene, so he grabbed Song Ying's hand and together they searched for Little Fatty's Uncle.
After Shi Li left, one of the female employees said, "I always feel that General Huang is planning a major move."
Shi Li, who had already left, didn't hear this speculation.
In keeping with the location shared by Song Ying, the classmates arrived only to find no sign of Shi Li or Song Ying.
Only moments before, two female colleagues had been at the very spot the classmates now stood. Having been caught idling by their boss, they had promptly returned to work.
As such, the gossip lovers of Class 1, Grade 1 arrived only to find the scene devoid of not only Shi Li but also the two gossipy females.
No one doubted the veracity of the information given by Song Ying. Everyone just assumed they had ended up in the wrong location.
Thus, they began searching for Shi Li at the banquet hall.
So where was Shi Li then? She and Song Ying each held a tall glass filled with orange juice.
Both of them were sneakily huddled not far from Little Fatty's Uncle.
Little Fatty's Uncle bore a striking resemblance to Little Fatty, both graced with a chubby and prosperous look.
To the left of Little Fatty's Uncle was Master Yuanjing, disguised as a monk, and to his right stood someone from their circle, who had built a lot of connections by being the middleman for many significant figures.
Facing Little Fatty's Uncle was the well-known Liu Yanwen, who despite his young age, looked significantly older, contrasting starkly with the youthful Sun Shouli.
Listening to the conversations of significant figures wasn't the same as eavesdropping on two gossiping female employees for Shi Li, so she made sure to keep her distance.
Shi Li kept a moderate distance, and although the boisterous noise from the surroundings made it almost impossible to catch their conversation, she could clearly see their actions. Little Fatty's Uncle had his arm around Master Yuanjing's shoulder in a friendly manner, seemingly enjoying a brotherly camaraderie.
He was talking and laughing with the people facing him. Then, Master Yuanjing pulled out a wad of talisman paper from his robes, passing it to the middleman and King Yama Liu.
King Yama Liu hesitated for a moment before accepting the talisman paper and shoved it into his pocket.
This exchange seemed to break the ice between them, and the atmosphere became noticeably warm and cheerful.
Only then did Shi Li turn her attention to Master Yuanjing. She thought to herself: "No wonder he managed to attract so many wealthy ladies. Master Yuanjing is quite handsome."
"And that monk's attire is really a great cosplay. Just thinking about it is rather thrilling."
The key to finding Shi Li was through her inner voice.
Shi Li's inner voice resonated in every corner, and her classmates caught on:...
Oblivious to the fact that her classmates had overheard her 'immoral' internal monologue, she continued to observe Little Fatty's Uncle and Master Yuanjing.
Master Yuanjing and Liu Yanwen engaged in a conversation, exchanged business cards, and even scanned each other's QR codes on their mobile phones.
Arriving just in time, her classmates observed this scene: they seemed to have an idea of what Little Fatty's Uncle was planning.
