Chapter 723: Don't make your eating posture look too ugly

Shen Ci blinked, a bit surprised by Li Xiao's sudden appearance, but a hint of a mocking smile appeared on her face in an instant.

It was very clear that Li Xiao couldn't have come here to find her; he was here for the Li family.

Li Xiao was stunned for a few seconds. Fortunately, he had already learned in advance that Shen Ci was an investor in this studio. Although surprised, he reacted quickly.

As for Li Xiao's rude behavior of barging into someone else's conference room, the others all frowned.

Luo Tianrui spoke with an unfriendly tone: "Who are you?"

Li Xiao scanned everyone in the conference room; they all looked like young people of his age. He restrained the expression on his face and said with a proper attitude: "Sorry for the abrupt intrusion. I am from the Li Group, and I am here with sincerity to discuss cooperation with your company."

Ge Youcai looked at Li Xiao and vaguely recalled something; before graduation, some things had circulated at school, and they were related to the Junior Sister.

He shifted his seat next to Shen Ci and asked uncertainly: "Junior Sister, this kid wouldn't be that ex-boyfriend of yours, would he?"

"Senior has a good memory." Shen Ci didn't hide it and instead looked at Ge Youcai and smiled.

Ge Youcai immediately curled his lips: "How unlucky!"

He then sneered at Li Xiao: "What is the Li family doing? From the lowest-level staff to department heads and then to managers, the level of people coming to our studio is getting higher and higher. Now the 'Crown Prince' has come out in person? Next time, won't it be Chairman Li visiting in person?"

Crown Prince?

The others stared at Li Xiao and sized him up; no wonder he was so young.

Li Xiao didn't care about these words; he was here with a purpose today. Because he had learned from his father that this matter had put great pressure on the company and also gave his father a huge headache.

So he wanted to help the company solve this matter and also prove his ability to his father and the company's senior management.

"I know you have rejected the Li family many times, but we don't want to give up, and we will show 100% sincerity." Li Xiao spoke on his own with a sincere tone: "Isn't the ultimate goal of the programs that everyone's team has worked so hard to develop to benefit from them? The price offered by the Li family is far higher than other companies, so why would you go against money?"

Senior Paipai shook her head gently and corrected him: "We are not going against money; you think too highly of us."

Li Xiao frowned, his face showing confusion.

Then he heard Senior Paipai say: "We are going against the Li family!"

One sentence caused the others to burst into laughter.

Ge Youcai nodded and laughed: "That's right, we are going against the Li family."

Li Xiao's face turned cold. With his strong self-esteem, he felt a strong sense of humiliation at this moment.

Going against the Li family?

Why would they go against the Li family for no reason?

Li Xiao looked at Shen Ci, the meaning in his eyes obvious; he clearly believed it was because of Shen Ci.

Shen Ci still looked at him and smiled. Watching him stand there pretending to be calm while being completely helpless and embarrassed was truly satisfying.

Was she like this in the past too? She had tried her best to prove that the thesis Li Xiao had stolen and published was written by her, but no one believed her. At that time, she was just like Li Xiao now, knowing who was making trouble but being helpless against everything.

"Shen Ci."

Li Xiao finally couldn't help but call her name because he knew all of this was Shen Ci's arrangement.

"Our business was just a normal matter between a man and a woman; you don't need to go to this extent, do you?"

"Have I done anything unforgivable to you? Why do you have to do things so ruthlessly?"

Facing Li Xiao's indignation and questioning, Shen Ci just raised her eyebrows lightly: "Ruthless? Not really..."

"You..."

"Handsome guy." Luo Tianrui interrupted Li Xiao and reminded him coldly: "Don't vent your incompetence on a girl. The grudge between our studio and the Li family is not as simple as just you and the Junior Sister."

Thinking of the night they first met Junior Sister Shen Ci, they had also met the Li Wanchang couple head-on. Without any basis, the other party had insulted them and Junior Sister Shen Ci, and that high-and-mighty, cold and arrogant posture was something Luo Tianrui still remembered clearly.

Ge Youcai was also present at the time, and thinking of this, his face couldn't help but turn cold.

Seeing the Li family's Crown Prince standing in front of him begging for cooperation, it was truly satisfying!

Li Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded gently, and continued to endure: "No matter what happened before, we hope to achieve reconciliation through subsequent cooperation. The Li family really needs your programs, so you can propose any conditions, and we will try our best to satisfy them if we can."

Any cooperation and negotiation is a process of discussion. No matter what, Li Xiao wanted to fight for a chance for the other party to be willing to discuss with the Li family.

Any conditions can be proposed?

This time, because Shen Ci was present, Luo Tianrui didn't rush to refuse but looked at Shen Ci, wanting to know if she had any new ideas.

A hint of playfulness appeared on the corner of Shen Ci's mouth: "Any conditions can be proposed?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao felt there was a chance and nodded hurriedly: "They can be proposed!"

"Then I want 30% of the net profit from the Li family's artificial intelligence business!" Shen Ci said it lightly, but the words sounded like an atomic bomb explosion in Li Xiao's ears.

Even Luo Tianrui and the others were stunned, unable to tell for a moment if the Junior Sister was joking or serious.

She's joking, right?

30%?

Li Xiao widened his eyes subconsciously, as if he hadn't expected Shen Ci to make such an outrageous and absurd request.

"You..."

"I am serious." Shen Ci interrupted his questioning: "Since you said they can be proposed, then I am proposing them. Whether you can accept them depends on the Li family's sincerity."

She was actually serious?

This was simply an insult, a great shame to him and the Li family. This was too bullying!

"Shen Ci!" Li Xiao was burning with anger, and all his cultivation couldn't suppress it. He glared at Shen Ci and said with dissatisfaction: "The annual fee you give to other groups is only a few hundred yuan, and the Li family has already offered three times the price. This is unique in the industry. Even if it gets out and makes the Li family bear the name of a fool, we don't care."

"Although you and I have unpleasantness in the past, I came here with the Li family's sincerity this time. Even if you offered four or five times the price, I think we would have the possibility of continuing to talk, but why do you want to tease me and humiliate me?"

"30% of the net profit, do you know how much money this is? Do you know what this means for the Li family?"

"Before, you kept the Li family out of the door, and now you want to use this opportunity to suck the Li family's blood. Don't make your eating posture look too ugly!"

Shen Ci said lightly: "It's not as ugly as you look."
