Evening.

Li Ming, who was always invited to dinner by people queueing up for social engagements, sat in the place of honor in an elegant private room.

Flanking him on both sides were tall, professional hostesses.

On his right hand, Li Ming wore a top-quality jade bracelet, and on his left, a luxury Miller men’s watch worth millions.

Faced with the flattery and ingratiating behavior of the capital magnates, he was all smiles and full of wit.

But he would never forget a phrase once said by a big shot.

"As long as it’s not illegal, no one will touch me!"

He took those words to heart, and afterwards, he moved through the capital circle with composure and ease.

He never provoked anyone on his own initiative, but he also didn’t allow anyone to meddle with or covet Tianfeng Fund Company!

This was his trump card as a big shot’s doorman; anyone who messed with Tianfeng Company, he would take down!

Thus, when it came to matters involving Tianfeng Group, he could turn his face against anyone, regardless of their identity, and refuse to give them face!

It could only be said that Li Ming, after this period of immersion, had learned even better how to use the framework provided by the big shot to make rules.

At the moment, kneeling down on the steps in front of him were two people.

One was Manager Lu from his group.

The other was a client of the group, President Gao.

There was also a man in a suit beside them, the guarantor who had initially helped President Gao open an account with the fund; he too stood there trembling with fear.

Having knelt down as a result of breaking the rules, and having been found out by Li Ming, they were specially invited to this retributive banquet, and the boss facing them had to come, despite the discomfort.

Because they knew the consequences of not attending would be even more severe!

"President Gao, I want you to explain how your level 2 account was promoted to level 3 within less than a year’s time?"

Li Ming asked, his head lowered as he continued to enjoy his sumptuous meal.

President Gao, kneeling down the steps, profusely perspiring, shook his head, "I... I don’t know, I have no idea why my level was raised."

Li Ming then turned his gaze toward the managerial staff: "Manager Lu, he is your client and he says he doesn’t know about this matter. Can you explain?"

Manager Lu was shivering all over at this time.

Before he could speak in his defense, Li Ming picked up his chopsticks and smashed them down, bellowing furiously, "As a manager, you have a maximum authority of level 2, who gave you the audacity to upgrade a client to level 3? Did you really think I wouldn’t notice something so significant in the group’s vast database?"

"Director Li, I was wrong, please forgive me, I won’t dare to do it again!" Manager Lu hastily kowtowed and begged for mercy with a sobbing voice.

Li Ming coldly ordered the muscular security staff, "Take him away, hand him over to the police, investigate for dereliction of duty!"

"Director Li, Director Li, I really didn’t know about this!" President Gao was anxious and began to explain hastily on the side.

"President Gao, stand up. There’s no need to be afraid. I’ve always said that anyone who doesn’t follow the group’s rules, harboring no hope of getting lucky, will be dealt with accordingly!" Li Ming said soberly, "As of today, you will be blacklisted by Tianfeng, please leave now."

"Director Li, this is a misunderstanding, please give me another chance!" President Gao became panicked.

Being blacklisted was one thing, but more crucially the entire capital circle, led by Tianfeng, would choke off all his other escape routes!

President Gao desperately tried to plead, but he too was escorted out by the security guards.

The guarantor who initially opened the account was left standing there, sweating profusely.

He had finally raised his membership to level 3, never expecting his friend to be so greedy as to bribe an insider to change his entry time.

If this led to shared responsibility, whom could he protest to?

Now, with his annual conversion return at 60%, he could make a dividend of 1.2 billion from 2 billion kept in Tianfeng Company for a year!

Aside from those few projects specified in the constitution, wasn’t this conversion rate more enticing than any other investment?

Therefore, those who had tasted the sweetness of Tianfeng Company never wanted to be kicked out of the game!

"Mr. Chen, I’ll give you two options. One is for the company to give you your principal and this year’s conversion rate now. The other is to strip you of your referral quota and reduce your user level by one!"

"I choose the second option!" Mr. Chen immediately bowed, "You can rest assured, Director Li, I will absolutely abide by the company rules!"

At that moment, the phone lying on the table rang.

As soon as Li Ming saw the number, his face instantly changed, and he glared at Mr. Chen.

He gestured for everyone to be silent.

The two hostesses by his side also moved away.

The stern expression on Li Ming’s face immediately turned into a warm and charming smile as he answered with a laugh, "Boss!"

Gu Feng: "Allocate a 50-billion share quota to Qin Li, Dong Hui, and Xu Shenghua."

Li Ming laughingly agreed in a flash, "Okay, do you have any other instructions?"

Gu Feng: "Set up a charity foundation with the funds belonging to me in the company. From now on, don’t touch this money; someone will handle it."

After all, it was just money wheedled from the stock market gamblers.

Whether it was Gu Feng or Lin Yue, money was no longer an issue; just the revenue from the cosmetic segment independently run by Meiyue Group, which Lin Yue managed, was money Gu Feng could spend without anyone objecting.

All of Pangu Department’s technology patents were still in Gu Feng’s name! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

So Gu Feng wasn’t interested in the money from the fund; he wanted to use it for charity, to build schools and provide subsidies in impoverished areas every year.

Li Ming: "All right, boss, I understand. I’ll start on it right away."

The call on the other end disconnected.

Li Ming then dialed Qin Li’s number.

After the connection, Qin Li sounded surprised on the other end, "Director Li?"

Li Ming: "President Qin, congratulations. Could you, along with President Dong and Mr. Xu, come over to Tianfeng Group’s headquarters? We need to sign a licensing agreement for the subsidiary."

Qin Li’s pupils dilated and his breathing hitched, "What did you say?"

Li Ming said with a smile, "I’ve just received the boss’ instruction. If it’s convenient for you three, you can bring your documents over to collect your license."

"Convenient, very convenient, we’ll come right now," Qin Li said excitedly, waving his fist, "Wait for us, Director Li."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Li, who was leading the way back to the front, suddenly turned the steering wheel.

Dong Hui and Xu Shenghua, following behind, called him in confusion.

"Old Qin, where are you heading?"

Qin Li laughed mysteriously, "Don’t ask, just follow me. I’m taking you to a place you’ve been dreaming of! If anyone turns back now, don’t blame me for not sharing the opportunities!"
