Chapter 73 - 73 Charity [Seeking Recommendations]

Tang Tiantian snuggled into Li Xiaoyao’s arms as he stretched out two fingers, playing with her hair, the two whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Under Li Xiaoyao’s gentle consolation, the fear in Tang Tiantian’s heart was dispelled entirely.

Li Xiaoyao said softly, "Resign tomorrow."

Tang Tiantian pouted, "No, we agreed I’d resign after you open your shop."

"I forgot something just now, and only you can do this, so you have to resign quickly. Otherwise, it won’t be good if this drags on."

Tang Tiantian asked curiously, "What thing?"

Li Xiaoyao answered, "Charity work."

"What?" Tang Tiantian’s eyes widened as she blinked, clearly not grasping Li Xiaoyao’s meaning.

"The Long Family gave me fifty million, but the money isn’t clean, and I never planned to use it, so I decided to donate it to charity under your name," Li Xiaoyao explained.

After hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words, Tang Tiantian’s brain shut down for a moment.

"Of course, we can’t donate to organizations like the Red Cross; if we donate to them, the money would be wasted." Li Xiaoyao was aware of Xuan Country’s state of affairs—charitable institutions under the guise of charity were actually soulless tigers.

Therefore, Li Xiaoyao decided to ensure the fifty million was put to good use.

The donated money had to be visible; thus, it wasn’t a small amount of work.

Once Tang Tiantian recovered, she looked at Li Xiaoyao’s thoughtful expression and suddenly a smile bloomed on her face.

Fifty million, Tang Tiantian truly wasn’t tempted at all, just like Li Xiaoyao had said— the fifty million from the Long Family wasn’t clean.

And donating the money was also a good deed, a way of accumulating virtue.

In that moment, Tang Tiantian suddenly felt that Li Xiaoyao’s stature was grand; fifty million Renminbi, to donate without hesitation.

"I’ll go handle the resignation procedures tomorrow," said Tang Tiantian, this time without any objections.

Li Xiaoyao gave her buttocks a pat and laughed, "Let’s go to sleep."

...

Without further conversation, the next morning, Li Xiaoyao got up early to make breakfast.

After breakfast, they changed clothes and left the house.

Li Xiaoyao, as usual, took a taxi to drop Tang Tiantian off outside the mall, then headed for the office.

He had already told Tang Tiantian that after she finished with the resignation procedures, she should go home first and then think about how to donate the money.

No sooner had Li Xiaoyao stepped into the office, Zhang Meng followed closely behind him.

"Xiaoyao brother, Zhao Ge is here."

"So early?" Li Xiaoyao was surprised; Zhao Ge was really diligent to come for onboarding first thing in the morning.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Take him to HR for onboarding, then bring him to see me."

After Zhang Meng left, Li Xiaoyao leaned back in his chair, his mind occupied with plans to deal with Hu Zhi.

He decided to act within the next two days. The sooner he resolved the issue with Hu Zhi, the sooner he could move into San Tiao Alley.

But there was a problem: Li Xiaoyao had no one he could rely on.

If he entered San Tiao Alley without any trustworthy people under him, it would be a sad affair.

As Li Xiaoyao was troubled about the lack of manpower, at the same time in the CEO’s office, Lan Cai suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

"Cai’er, I heard you were attacked yesterday?" On the other end of the phone, a woman’s voice sounded, seemingly very concerned.

Lan Cai hummed a response, "It was a minor incident; it’s been resolved now, thank you for your concern, Auntie."

"Hehe." The woman Lan Cai addressed as ’Auntie’ laughed and said, "Cai’er, this is not okay. Look at you, a company CEO without a bodyguard? Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll arrange two bodyguards for you who are very skilled."

Lan Cai immediately declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, Auntie, but it’s not necessary; I already have a bodyguard."

The auntie responded with an ’Oh’, then asked, "What kind of bodyguard did you hire? If they are just average at martial arts, that won’t do. After all, you are a direct descendent of the Lan Family; your personal safety must be guaranteed."

"He’s very capable. I would have been in danger yesterday if he wasn’t there," said Lan Cai, who was referring to Li Xiaoyao. She honestly hadn’t intended to hire Li Xiaoyao as her bodyguard, but with her auntie calling to arrange for one, she had to respond in this way.

"Auntie will visit Ling City someday; then you should introduce me to this bodyguard," her auntie suggested.

Lan Cai replied, "Sure, give me a call before you come, Auntie, and I’ll pick you up."

After hanging up, Lan Cai let out a long breath.

Lan Cai’s auntie was Xu Wan, the wife of her third uncle, Lan Li.

Before yesterday, Lan Cai had great respect for her Auntie Xu Wan, but after yesterday’s incident, she became wary of this third aunt.

Under Li Xiaoyao’s intense interrogation, the men who tampered with the elevator had mentioned the name Zhang Qingfeng.

Li Xiaoyao was unaware who Zhang Qingfeng was, but Lan Cai knew.

Zhang Qingfeng was a trusted subordinate of Xu Wan.

When Lan Cai heard this name, she was shocked.

In other words, the person trying to kill her was her own third aunt!

Lan Cai didn’t want to believe it, but the reality was undeniable.
