Li Chengzheng put away the slyness of a businessman and looked at his daughter solemnly.
“You are to befriend Miss Gu from now on and take good care of her; otherwise, I won’t be giving you anymore pocket money.”
Everybody started out at the bottom and worked their way up to where they were today.
“Your grandpa, too, started out with nothing and he was known to be an altruistic person. Xiao Ru, you have shamed him.”
As soon as Li Chengzheng finished talking, Gu Shishi heard the crisp sound of the system.
[Ding! Received Li Chengzheng’s fondness!]
Gu Shishi looked up, at a loss.
Li Yiru was every bit as lost as Gu Shishi.
“… Dad, what are you talking about?”
Weren’t they here to apologize? When did that turn into “becoming friends” and “taking care of her”?
“Stop it. If you don’t want to do that.” Li Chengzheng was looking angrier and angrier. “Then, starting this month forward, you are to quit your job at the family company and go look for your own job.”
Having said that, Li Chengzheng shocked even himself.
He regretted a little about what he had just said.
But, after second thought, it didn’t sound like too bad of an idea.
His daughter sure has some growing up to do.
Among all of her wealthy girlfriends, his Xiao Ru had the worst temperament and was very impulsive to top.
She was still okay right now. If she was still so brainless when she got older, he wouldn’t even be able to save her!
Thinking about what happened with HB, he gritted his teeth.
“You can still live in your same room, but you will need to pay rent to me monthly.”
If only she could be more like the Gu’s daughter who was still able to find herself a nice man with the ability to stand up for her despite being raised with regular education and not in a wealthy environment. Having his daughter experience a little hardship right now wouldn’t be entirely a bad idea.
Li Yiru: “…What?”
“We shouldn’t keep you from resting any longer, Niece Gu. I heard that Young Hao isn’t home today. Please give him this case of red wine and let him know that it was from his Uncle Li.”
Li Chengzheng gave her another smile.
[Ding! Li Chengzheng’s fondness increased again!]
Gu Shishi: “……?”
***
Li Yiru had no idea how she walked out of the mansion.
She was dazed and in a state of disbelief. Her knees were weak the entire time…
Li Chengzheng was a very sharp and fierce businessman. He had only spoiled his daughter a little too much in the past.
Now that he realized his own mistake, he decided to fix it in a somewhat extreme way.
His actions were very efficient.
Just on their way out, Li Yiru had already received the message that her bank card had been disconnected from the main account.
Her card was a supplemental one of her dad’s and she has a 50,000 yuan monthly allowance.
As long as she kept her spending below that amount and did not do anything evil or against the law, he never cared about how she spent her money.
And now… it was gone just like that.
“Dad!”
Li Chengzheng wasn’t messing around. As soon as he got into the car, he asked the secretary for pen and paper.
And started scribbling.
“Our house is centrally located and your room is 40 square meters in area. Not counting the common area, I’ll give you a market rate of 5,000 yuan a month in rent. You can eat and drink at home and I won’t charge you for those, but you must pay me rent on the 1st of each month.”
Li Yiru’s hands were about to start shaking.
She was angry and scared, so much that she couldn’t even make a sound.
She had always relied on her family.
As she was a girl, she never considered taking over the family business. She had no accomplishments in the work area.
She has a 50,000-yuan allowance and if her parents were happy, they’d give her extra to buy stuff.
She holds a position at the Strategy Department at the Li’s Corporation. All she did was go online and watch movies everyday and collect a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan.
And now, she has no allowance, no job, and she has to pay rent?!
