My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Li Bo packed his things, preparing to change hotels. After all, this was a hotel booked by Dafeng headquarters for his business trip. Li Bo had already submitted his resignation, and they had an unpleasant argument last night, so it wasn't appropriate for him to stay here any longer.

Before Li Bo even left the house, the doorbell rang.

Li Bo opened the door, and there stood Manager Liu. He was a little surprised, but he still smiled and greeted him. Last night's incident had been rather unpleasant, so it was only natural that Manager Liu would come to confront him this morning.

Resigning is a simple matter, but the termination of the cooperation between Wanshi and Dafeng, and even the need for litigation, raises the question of who will bear the losses.

General Manager Liu was wrong to act first and report later, but Li Bo was also wrong. Dafeng appointed Li Bo to work on the project, which was a work change and not unreasonable. Li Bo went on strike and resigned because he didn't want to stay in Beijing due to personal reasons.

Responsibility must always be assigned and settled.

"Jianyue, huh?" Manager Liu said with a smile, as if nothing had happened, showing no intention of accusing him. He even glanced at Li Bo's room and asked, "Would it be convenient for us to go inside and talk?"

"Okay." Li Bo opened the door, boiled some water, and poured a glass of water for President Liu.

Mr. Liu sat down: "The president personally handled what happened last night. It's nothing serious. Mr. Wan is still willing to continue cooperating with Dafeng. If you want to go back to Haicheng, you can still be the branch president. I'll pretend I didn't see your resignation letter."

"This collaboration is extremely important to Dafeng. Since I came to headquarters, I've been looking for a promotion, but I haven't had many opportunities. I finally got this chance, but I was too hasty and made things so ugly, putting you in a difficult position."

Since General Manager Liu had already bowed his head to Li Bo, Li Bo couldn't hold a grudge. After all, he had embarrassed General Manager Liu in public last night and caused him to lose face in front of the planning department.

Li Bo smiled and said, "I drank too much last night and acted impulsively. I didn't explain to President Liu beforehand that I had a conflict with the Wan family. I blame myself for not thinking things through."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

General Manager Liu patted Li Bo on the shoulder: "You can stay at Dafeng Haicheng branch. There are still meetings in the next couple of days. After the meetings, headquarters will arrange a trip around Beijing for you to relax."

Li Bo cherishes this job opportunity, as long as it's not in Beijing.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Liu."

Li Bo is a smart man. Last night, he was furious and wanted to sue Wan Gong, but this morning he personally came to apologize and asked Li Bo to stay at Dafeng. Something must have happened during this time.

Perhaps Dafeng's people knew of his past fame in Beijing and, recognizing his talent, wanted to retain him. Perhaps Zhou Yanshao heard something and argued with Wan Gong, for the sake of his grandson, Wan Gong had no choice but to compromise. Or perhaps Wan Gong felt that even if he rejected the project, he would still have some use, so he didn't want things to escalate too much.

Li Bo paused for a moment, "I'll pass on the trip. It's almost New Year's Day, and I have to go on a long trip. There's something going on at home, as Mr. Liu knows."

Mr. Liu suddenly remembered something, nodded, and said, "Okay, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it..."

This isn't Li Bo making excuses.

Mr. Liu knew that every New Year's Day, Li Bo would take a week off to go back to his hometown to visit relatives.

This has been the case for the past five years.

This year is no exception.

Mr. Liu took a sip of water, got up and left. Li Bo saw him to the door. After taking a couple of steps away, Mr. Liu suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, there's an art exhibition tomorrow night. I need to make some time to accompany you to meet the painter."

"Okay." Li Bo nodded slightly.

"I'll have my secretary inform you of the specifics."

"Um."

After General Manager Liu left, Li Bo put the clothes he had just put away back where they were, took a shower, and then went to Dafeng for a meeting that afternoon. Li Bo was dressed formally in a suit and vest, looking handsome and dashing. When he arrived, many female employees from headquarters cast admiring glances at him.

A talented young man like Li Bo has no shortage of suitors.

In the afternoon, there were adoring glances, but when Li Bo left headquarters that evening, those glances were gone, leaving only regret.

Someone inquired with the people at the Haicheng branch—Li Bo is married and has a wife.

Although no one has ever seen Li Bo's wife, many people in the company have seen Li Bo wearing his wedding ring.

When someone once asked him in a lighthearted conversation, Li Bo replied, "I'm married."

Everyone was surprised.

The surprise stemmed from the fact that Li Bo devoted almost all his time and energy to his work, usually leaving very late. This workaholic was actually...married?

At that moment, the female director sighed deeply, "President Bo's wife is so lucky."

Li Bo smiled slightly: "I was the one who pursued him."

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more surprised.

In fact, Li Bo rarely gets angry. He is a refined gentleman, very considerate to female comrades, and has a great demeanor. However, he always carries a sense of distance from others.

Before his employees at Dafeng Haicheng branch knew he had a girlfriend, they expressed their feelings for him. Li Bo was very good at rejecting people, and simply smiled and said, "You have to work hard to meet good people."

There were many similar phrases: both rejection and encouragement.

How beautiful and outstanding must someone be for Li Bo to actively pursue?

At the Haicheng headquarters, although no one had ever seen Li Bo's wife, everyone was very curious about her.

When Li Bo left the company that evening, a sharp-eyed person at headquarters noticed that he didn't seem to be wearing a ring on his hand...

Is this... a divorce?

After leaving Dafeng, on his way back to the hotel, Li Bo passed by Zhihuai. He asked his driver to stop the car and told his secretary and driver to go back first, while he went to meet a friend.

Li Bo found a coffee shop nearby and sat down.
