Chapter 154: Taking the Exam to Enter Li Corporation

Li Laoyezi did not speak either, as if he hadn't heard the words just now, quietly waiting for Li Beijue's reaction; the whole table was the same.

Li Beijue set down his chopsticks, his expression devoid of any ripples, and said calmly, "To enter Li Corporation, one must pass the assessments of the corresponding departments."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqing's expression changed immediately; looking somewhat awkward, she hurriedly reached out under the table and pinched Li Xinghua's arm.

Li Xinghua snapped back to his senses, and upon catching Qin Wanqing's gaze, he gave a dry laugh and tried to smooth things over: "Beijue, Beichen is your younger brother and also a member of the Li Family. It is only natural for him to work at Li Corporation; where is the need for any assessment? As his older brother, you should properly guide him... When you joined the company back then, wasn't it the same?"

Li Xinghua's face was full of smiles, yet he deliberately brought up the events of that year, wanting to make Li Beijue compromise.

Li Beijue sneered in his heart and said unhurriedly, "I also passed the assessments of all the departments set by Grandfather before I joined the company; I wasn't just parachuted into the company. Did you remember the sequence of events backwards?"

Li Xinghua was choked by these words and was instantly rendered speechless by Li Beijue; the atmosphere at the dinner table also became somewhat stiff.

Qin Wanqing was not yet willing to give up. Seeing that Li Xinghua could not best Li Beijue, she hurriedly said with a smile, "You have had a talent for this since you were small. Beichen still needs to grow a bit more. As his older brother, you should at least give him some pointers. We are all one family, after all. Outsiders say our President Li is selfless and impartial in the company, but when it comes to his own family, he should at least be a bit more accommodating..."

As Qin Wanqing spoke, she deliberately looked at Li Laoyezi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat aggrieved as she asked in a low voice, "Laoyezi, what do you think?"

Qin Wanqing played the family card, bypassing Li Beijue directly in an attempt to obtain Li Laoyezi's approval.

Jiang Baobao listened quietly from the side; although her impression of Qin Wanqing was not very good, she had no room to interject.

Li Beijue's expression turned completely cold. Just as he was about to speak, at that very moment—

"Great-grandfather, did you tell me before that if I want to work at Daddy's company in the future, I also have to pass an exam?"

Yanbao's voice suddenly rang out, instantly attracting the attention of everyone at the dinner table.

Li Beijue also looked at the little fellow in front of him with a surprised expression.

Immediately following, Mobai was heard chiming in: "Then I also want to go take the exam with Yanbao in the future. We won't take any back doors!"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of Li Xinghua's family instantly became even uglier.

Li Beichen opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but before he could make a sound, he was lightly pinched on the arm by Qin Wanqing.

He was suddenly choked, and had no choice but to swallow all his words back down.

Upon hearing this, Li Laoyezi laughed heartily, looking at the two little fellows with great satisfaction, nodding repeatedly: "As expected of my Li Family children! You two will definitely be able to pass the exam in the future!"

Li Xiao, who had been silent for a long time on the side, also suddenly spoke up, his tone teasing: "Isn't that how it has always been in our family? Look at me; I get a headache the moment I hear the word 'exam,' and I've always been too lazy to go to the company to work."

Upon hearing this, Li Beichen's expression became even uglier.

Then he heard Li Xiao say: "Beichen, if you want to enter the company, you'll have to put in some real effort."

Hearing him mention himself, Li Beichen had no choice but to force a smile and reply: "Little Uncle is right. I was too impatient. My mother was just worried about me. With my current experience, I should indeed temper myself for a while longer."

Upon hearing this, Li Laoyezi finally nodded and said, "Mm, Beichen, you are still young; you can accumulate some more experience."

"I understand, Grandfather."

Li Beichen agreed, not saying anything more.

Qin Wanqing and Li Xinghua also wisely shut their mouths.

Things having reached this point, there was no need for this matter to continue.

Jiang Baobao was watching the show from the side with amusement and couldn't help but reach out to rub the little heads of Mobai and Yanbao.

She really hadn't expected that these two little fellows would actually speak up to help Li Beijue, and resolve it so cleverly at that.

Even if Li Beichen were dissatisfied, he couldn't very well show that he was inferior to two children, could he?

The dinner table returned to its lively state, with Li Laoyezi constantly coaxing the two little fellows to talk with a smile on his face.

Li Beichen, meanwhile, looked somewhat depressed, downing drink after drink.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Beijue began discussing company matters with Li Laoyezi.

Both little fellows had eaten their fill; sitting by the table was becoming boring, and they couldn't sit still anymore.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao simply took the two of them to the garden in the back, intending to let them relax.

"Baby, how did you suddenly think to say that you also had to take an exam just now?"

Jiang Baobao sat on a bench with the two little fellows and couldn't help but ask with amusement, thinking of what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Yanbao answered with a serious face: "Because Daddy told me before! The company is full of very capable older brothers and sisters! Even if I am Daddy's son, I can't just enter the company casually when I grow up; I must have the ability to make others believe in me!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned as she listened.

So Li Beijue had always been educating Yanbao this way...

His reasoning didn't seem wrong, either.

It was just that if one really wanted to cultivate a proper successor, Yanbao's childhood would indeed have much less fun than other children his age.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she followed up: "Then what does Yanbao think? Has Yanbao thought about what kind of work you want to do in the future?"

"I don't think so..." Yanbao shook his head gently.

Then, after thinking for two seconds, he answered loudly: "But I want to become an adult as capable as Daddy! And I can protect Mommy and my little sister!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh out loud, her heart feeling soft.

Immediately after, she heard Mobai also say loudly: "Mommy is also very capable! Then I want to become someone as capable as Mommy! In the future, I'll have my own Team and team members too!"

Jiang Baobao immediately replied with a smile: "That's not impossible! As long as you like it, whatever you want to do, Mommy will support you!"

The three of them were chatting and laughing in the garden, with the chirping laughter of the two little fellows drifting over from time to time.

Not far away, a person slowly walked in through the glass door at the entrance of the garden.

Jiang Baobao was just explaining the Team competition to Yanbao when she suddenly heard a slight sound behind her.

She was slightly stunned and turned around subconsciously, only to see Li Beichen standing behind her.

He seemed to be somewhat drunk; his face was flushed red, and his eyes were a bit unfocused.

Jiang Baobao smelled the alcohol coming from him and couldn't help but frown.

She then stood up and asked politely, "Is there something?"

Li Beichen stared at Jiang Baobao for a few seconds and suddenly laughed.

Then he asked in a slurred tone: "Miss Jiang... shall we... have a chat?"
