When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Just as the housekeeper was about to speak, Lin Zhixia pushed open the door and entered without thinking.

The sudden sound startled both the butler and Li Jingchuan, and they both turned their gazes to Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia was also stunned, standing there in a state of panic and helplessness.

The butler frowned, his tone slightly reprimanding: "According to the Li family's rules, you must knock before entering. How could you just barge in like that!"

After realizing what had happened, Lin Zhixia quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I... I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Li Jingchuan turned slightly to the side, raising an eyebrow sheepishly.

"Kobayashi, what's wrong?"

"I... um, Mr. Li, I wanted to ask if you could give me a few thousand yuan in advance, because I have some family issues."

Lin Zhixia searched her mind for a long time, and this was the only excuse she could think of for the time being.

Even the housekeeper felt embarrassed for Lin Zhixia: "You've only worked for two days, and you're already thinking about getting an advance on your salary."

Lin Zhixia took a deep breath and said sincerely, "I know this is against the rules, but my family is indeed short of money right now. If I'm preoccupied with trivial matters every day and can't take good care of the young master, I'll easily become distracted..."

The butler's brows furrowed deeply, and he growled in a low voice.

"You're threatening President Li!"

Lin Zhixia replied sincerely, "No, I'm just telling the truth. The water pipe in our basement burst last night, so we have to rent a new place now."

"What does this have to do with us? Do you want us to handle your household chores?"

Wang Jingshan looked even angrier than Li Jingchuan; he had never seen such an outrageous employee.

Lin Zhixia was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect the housekeeper to get so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged. She was worried that the housekeeper might faint from anger.

She lowered her head slightly: "Then...never mind."

Lin Zhixia turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, my phone beeped with the sound of a money transfer.

"Alipay payment received, 10,000 yuan."

Lin Zhixia's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned to look at Li Jingchuan.

Li Jingchuan put away his phone: "Ten thousand should be enough, right?"

Lin Zhixia nodded hurriedly, "That's enough, thank you, President Li."

"Take good care of the young master, and the Li family will not mistreat you."

Li Jingchuan said calmly.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely treat you like a piece of gold."

Lin Zhixia held her phone, her eyes crinkling with a smile, her heart overflowing with joy. But she didn't forget why she had come in.

"Um, Mr. Li, could you have Butler Wang tell me about the young master's usual habits and the layout of the Li family home? It's too big, and it's easy to get lost."

Li Jingchuan waved to Butler Wang: "Take Xiaolin for a walk."

Although Wang Jingshan was unwilling, he had no choice but to comply since President Li had spoken.

Lin Zhixia wasn't worried about getting lost, but rather that the housekeeper, Wang, had information on her. If that information reached Li Jingchuan's ears, she wouldn't even have to pay off her online loans; she could go straight to jail.

Right now, we should first sound them out.

"Butler Wang, how many people are there in the Li family? I heard from Aunt Zhang that there was a second young master of the Li family, but he has disappeared. Could he have been kidnapped by enemies? It's impossible for such a grown man to just vanish into thin air."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingshan's expression turned serious: "This is a family matter of the Li family. You're new here, so don't pry."

"I didn't ask around. Isn't it common knowledge that this is being spread everywhere? Tell me about it, and I won't say the wrong thing in front of President Li in the future. You are an elder of the Li family."

"No one knows as much as you do."

Although Lin Zhixia didn't understand much else, she knew that being sweet-talking was never a bad thing. Sometimes, a little flattery could be just right, and who knows, it might just hit the nail on the head.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingshan's previously serious face immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Young lady, I didn't realize you were so shrewd. Let me tell you, I've been with the Li family since I was thirty, for decades. When it comes to the Li family, no one knows more than me. You've come to the right person..."

Then Wang Jingshan rambled on and on about the Li family to Lin Zhixia, as if they were having a casual chat, before finally getting to the point.

"I recently found out about Xiao Li's enemy, I think his name is..."

"What's your name?" Lin Zhixia clenched her fists, staring intently at Butler Wang.

Wang Jingshan is getting old and can't remember things well, so he quickly took out his phone to take a look.

"Oh, her name is Jiang Shuyue. She wanted to pursue CEO Li before, but CEO Li is known for his sharp tongue and hates sycophants. Jiang Shuyue probably held a grudge."

"Later, they even bribed the media to spread rumors about CEO Li."

When Lin Zhixia heard this name, the tension in her heart immediately eased.

She remembered that there seemed to be such a character in the book.

However, the male lead did have a sharp tongue in the past, and given the Li family's extensive connections, it's understandable that he'd be a bit arrogant, but that would easily attract criticism.

I reckon that once Li Chengyuan regains his memory, he'll have to slap himself twice.

I hate simps the most, but I ended up like this myself...

cough cough cough.

Lin Zhixia snapped out of her thoughts: "Thank you, Butler Wang, for telling me so much today. I'll treat you to dinner when I get my salary."

Wang Jingshan waved his hand: "No need, but you're a clever girl. Work hard in the Li family, and they won't treat you badly."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your guidance, Butler Wang."

Around 6 p.m., Lin Zhixia came out of the nursery, feeling like her throat was on fire, having spent the whole afternoon chatting with the little master.

Li Xiulan was talking to Zhang Meixia and the others about the supermarket's lucky draw discount. The group of housewives had so much to say to each other.

"I need to hurry up and get ready. I heard that Yonghui Supermarket is having a sale and there's a lucky draw. If I win something like an electric bicycle, I'll have made a profit."

"Okay, okay, let's go together."

Lin Zhixia perked up immediately when she heard that the supermarket was having a sale and a lucky draw. She was usually unlucky, but Li Chengyuan was.

She remembered that Li Chengyuan in the book had a habit of occasionally buying lottery tickets and always won a few hundred yuan. What if she was lucky today!

Lin Zhixia quickly dialed Li Chengyuan's number, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Li Chengyuan, let me tell you, the supermarket is having a sale today, and there's even a lucky draw. Let's go check it out."

"What do you want to buy? I can go by myself. Supermarkets are bound to be crowded during sales, and you hate going to those places, don't you?"

Lin Zhixia paused for a moment before remembering that the original owner hated going to mixed places like vegetable markets and supermarkets, finding the smells unpleasant and having to squeeze in with old men and women. She usually let Li Chengyuan go.

But soon Lin Zhixia mimicked the original owner's tone and roared fiercely, "That's because you were fined two thousand yuan yesterday. I can only save money from that. Stop talking nonsense. Go wait for me at the supermarket entrance after get off work."

After saying that, Lin Zhixia hung up the phone. Thinking about how she had suddenly gotten angry, she awkwardly touched her nose.

I think my tone just now was pretty harsh.

When Lin Zhixia arrived at the supermarket entrance, a huge crowd had completely blocked the way.

She scanned the crowd and immediately spotted Li Chengyuan. With his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, his proportions were excellent. Just standing there, it was hard to ignore his presence.

Just as Lin Zhixia was about to step forward, he saw a pretty girl running towards him.
