After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 152 Weird tacit understanding

On this day, all the employees at the Li Group headquarters were unable to concentrate on their work!
Hundreds of newly created private chat groups were filled with screams and chatter from female employees! Meanwhile, in the break rooms on each floor, groups of people gathered, all discussing almost the same thing:

"The heads of the world's top five conglomerates gathered in the BOSS's office. Who would have dared to imagine this before?"

"With five top-tier bosses gathered together, what earth-shattering event is about to occur in the financial world?"

"Yan Yu's charm sweeps the entertainment industry, yet she never contacts the Li Group on a regular basis. But today, she showed up without any disguise, and her face up close is many times more exquisite than it appears on screen! Several female employees were so weak in the knees they could barely stand..."

"Rumor has it that the Crown Prince is even more handsome than Li Yubai, and it's true! It's true! Ahhhh, just one glance from those peach blossom eyes and I was instantly smitten!"

"Ning Yunzhan actually looks like this? His artistic aura is absolutely amazing! And that guy from the Iris family, oh my god! How can he be so good-looking! I'm getting a nosebleed..."

"What on earth could have happened that alarmed all five of these super bosses at the same time..."

……

Office of the Chairman.

In a corner, Assistant Shen sat quietly, keeping his eyes down and diligently brewing tea.

Five men, the subject of intense discussion throughout the company, sat around a sofa playing cards.

There were only four people actually playing cards: Rong Jingchen, Ning Yunzhan, Li Yubai, and Jiang Shu.

Behind Jiang Shu stood Crown Prince Feng Li and Yan Yu.

Yan Yu was quietly peeling melon seeds, occasionally popping one into Jiang Shu's mouth, and then saying a few words while looking at Jiang Shu's cards.

Feng Li went too far! He pressed himself against Jiang Shu from behind, drawing and playing cards for her while constantly complaining:
"No wonder Yan Yu said you don't know how to be flexible when solving problems! Look at the terrible cards you played, huh?"

Jiang Shu: "Shut up."

"Listen to your brother, play this card!" Feng Li drew a card and threw it out. "The guy surnamed Li just played it last round, and no one else can play it..."

Jiang Shu was a little annoyed: "How about I give you my seat?"

"Tsk! Honey, you're still angry? The trending topics about me and your husband on the company intranet haven't been taken down yet, and I'm not even bothered by it, so you're still angry with me?"

"Shut up! Which card should I play now?"

"Play a one of bamboo..."

In the corner, Assistant Shen secretly glanced at Li Yubai, expecting to see his boss jealous. Instead, he discovered that the boss, who had been doting on his wife just two days ago, was now smiling and ruthlessly stealing her hand, and under Jiang Shu's dark expression, winning by himself…

Even the legendary killer Rong Jingchen had a smile in his eyes...

Ning Yunzhan even deliberately and blatantly sent the card that Jiang Shu needed most to Li Yubai's side...

A group of men, working together seamlessly, treated the lady like a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

The atmosphere was strangely harmonious, yet... it felt odd...

At twelve o'clock, Assistant Shen quietly slipped out and came back in with a large pile of fresh ingredients.

"Boss, fresh ingredients just arrived from the seven-star hotel," Assistant Shen said cautiously. "Two chefs also came; should we call them up?"

“No need, we’ll do it ourselves.” Li Yubai pushed away the mahjong tiles and stood up. “Assistant Shen, you can help out too.”

Assistant Shen was a little confused.

Make it yourself? Is that what he meant? The next moment, all five men in the room stood up—

Yan Yu, the top celebrity in the entertainment industry who is said to have a team of personal assistants at home and finds it difficult to even get a glass of water, quickly grabbed a handful of scallions and began to carefully sort them.
The legendary arms tycoon picked up a salmon and skillfully began slicing it on the kitchen counter in his office, even carving the fish bones into flowers with great interest.

Ning Yunzhan, chairman of Yunduan Group, skillfully opened the oven, took out flour and cream, and began to make desserts. He also diced several kinds of fruit and gently fed them to Jiang Shu, asking her in a soft voice which taste she liked best.
The global scourge of the FY heir then pulled out a clay pot, filled it with water, and took out a pork chop, throwing it onto the counter: "Hey, you surnamed Rong, you're good with a knife, chop it up!"

A flash of silver light appeared in Rong Jingchen's hand, and with a few snapping sounds, the pork chop was cut into very even and beautiful small pieces.

Feng Li, satisfied, casually took a diced strawberry from Ning Yunzhan and gave it to Rong Jingchen as a reward. Then, he picked up the spare ribs and began to simmer them in a soup that was half-cooked.

Meanwhile, Li Yubai, the big boss of the Li Group, stood in front of the wok, put on his apron, and started pouring oil to stir-fry the vegetables. During this time, his former arch-rival, the young master, even rolled up his sleeves to prevent him from getting splattered with oil while simmering soup…

After finishing cleaning the scallions, Yan Yu obediently handed them to Li Yubai, and then picked up a lotus root to peel it...

Assistant Shen numbly washed the vegetables and dishes, his whole body trembling with shock at the strangely tacit atmosphere, but he dared not show it!

Jiang Shu, however, was the 'unrelated bystander' who couldn't get involved at this moment.

She approached Yan Yu, who politely advised her to leave with a "Don't touch it, sister, it's dirty." As for the other men, she had no say whatsoever; they even collectively told her to sit quietly on the sofa and wait for dinner to start, and not to cause any trouble.

When the food was served, Assistant Shen was fortunate enough to be invited to dine with them.

The atmosphere during the meal was not so harmonious!

The dining table was filled with sarcastic remarks, and even serving Jiang Shu a dish was done with great care!
During the incident, three bowls were broken, five wine glasses were smashed, Li Yubai was drenched in red wine, the Crown Prince had a piece of his robe torn, and Rong Jingchen's arm was splattered with vegetable soup...

Assistant Shen, holding his rice bowl, trembled silently countless times in fear.

Jiang Shu gently comforted her: "This is normal, don't worry about it. Just eat your own food. They know their limits and only fight amongst themselves. It won't affect unrelated bystanders."

"Yes, yes, madam!"

After Assistant Shen finished speaking, there was an eerie silence at the dining table for a moment.

Then, Assistant Shen saw that Jiang Shu, who had been watching with great interest just a moment ago, was now in the center of the vortex.

"Eat some fish, Madam Ning." Ning Yunzhan slowly placed a fish on her plate, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.

Feng Li chuckled and tossed her a piece of pork rib: "Madam Feng, this is pork ribs that I cooked myself."

Rong Jingchen forcefully scooped up a spoonful of fish roe: "Madam Rong, open your mouth."

Yan Yu sighed softly, "Sister, I won't force you. I'll marry into your family. Just be yourself."

Li Yubai, unfazed, simply served Jiang Shu a bowl of pork rib soup...

Assistant Shen: What kind of bizarre and absurd scene is this?
After half an hour.

After finishing his meal with trepidation and barely tasting it, Assistant Shen silently collected the bowls and left with extremely complicated feelings.

He couldn't stand this eerie environment any longer!
If he stayed any longer, he felt he was about to embark on a one-way path of no return, following in Assistant Yang's footsteps and his penchant for gossiping...

Once Assistant Shen left the office, there were no outsiders left.

Now we're finally getting to the main topic of this party.

Ning Yunzhan glanced at his watch and smiled slightly: "It's two o'clock. Our sugar daddy's scores should be out by now!"
