Chapter 528: Chapter 0528: The New Group Leader

"I always knew Yao Buji was such a capable man; how could he possibly be reluctant to spend on us?"

Li Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief, then took out a black lace nightgown and said mysteriously, "Besides, we’re buying these things for you, aren’t we? Look, what is this?"

"What is this?" Yao Buji asked weakly, his first instinct to glance at the price tag.

36,000 yuan nearly knocked Yao Buji unconscious—just a few pieces of transparent rag selling for more than thirty thousand? This was daylight robbery!

"It’s a nightgown. This is Victoria’s Secret’s latest release this year. Don’t you think I would look beautiful in this?"

Li Xiaoli draped the nightgown over herself and asked expectantly.

"It should be quite beautiful." Envisioning Li Xiaoli in the sexy, transparent nightgown, Yao Buji was momentarily stunned; the nightgown paired with Li Xiaoli’s figure would indeed be quite the explosive scene.

"Of course, it’s beautiful. Each of us bought a set. When the time comes, we’ll guarantee to make you blissfully happy to death."

Li Xiaoli explained proudly.

"The price is pretty too," Yao Buji’s heart bled, silently swearing he must work harder to make money; otherwise, he truly couldn’t afford to keep these three brides.

"Ahem, I need to get back to prepare for the wedding. You continue having fun," he said quickly.

Yao Buji got up and made an excuse to leave; if he stayed any longer, he feared he might actually develop a heart condition from the stress.

"Go for it! We’re waiting for you," Li Xiaoli called out loudly as she watched Yao Buji’s awkward retreat.

"Oh, and don’t forget to pay off the credit card debt, Yao Big Brother. We still have lots of things to buy."

Hearing this, Yao Buji’s steps faltered, nearly tripping. He hurriedly sped up, running towards the outside, yelling without turning back,

"Don’t worry, I’ll pay off the credit card as soon as possible. As long as you’re happy... that’s all that matters!"

"Giggle, giggle!" Li Xiaoli laughed heartily at the sight of the awkward figure, proudly saying,

"Old thing, you think you can marry me? I’ll scare you to death!"

"Xiaoli, that dress was clearly bought for Tang Ming. Why did you give it to that old fellow?" Xia Wei’er complained with some displeasure.

"If we don’t give that old guy a little sweetener, how can we explain all these luxury goods we’ve bought?"

Li Xiaoli replied unconcernedly, "After all, we bought Tang Ming so many things; a mere dress isn’t that significant."

"I just feel this isn’t quite right," Liu Mengting said, her face showing a strange expression as she looked at Li Xiaoli and voiced her concern,

"Spending someone else’s money to buy things for Tang Ming feels like a married woman supporting a gigolo."

"Wow, Meng Meng, are you saying you actually regard that old guy as your husband and consider Tang Ming the gigolo?"

Li Xiaoli teased eerily as she sat back down on the couch.

"Stop talking nonsense; that’s not what I mean," Liu Mengting rolled her eyes at Li Xiaoli and sighed,

"What should we do now? It seems Yao Buji has actually regained his manly functions, and with only half a month left, you won’t have any excuse to delay, right?"

"This is indeed a problem," Li Xiaoli dragged her chin, squeezing the things on her chest into an odd shape and said helplessly:

"Given the circumstances, it looks like we’ll have to use our last ace in the hole."

"What ace in the hole?" Xia Wei’er and Liu Mengting immediately looked at Li Xiaoli with tense expressions.

"Of course it’s to run away!" Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said excitedly:

"We have half a month. Within this time, we must come up with a perfect escape plan. Once he finishes preparing for the wedding, the three of us brides will run away together. Wow, just thinking about it is thrilling."

"Run away from the wedding?"

Both of the women twitched at the corners of their mouths as if there was nothing Li Xiaoli wouldn’t dare to do in her world.

"Yes, otherwise do you plan on really marrying that old codger?" Li Xiaoli sighed helplessly and said seriously:

"This isn’t just a joke. We have to prepare thoroughly, and we need to bring Wei’er’s parents and Uncle Liu with us. Otherwise, if we run away, he will definitely make things difficult for our families."

"Are we really going to escape? But where can we go?" Liu Mengting sighed and said. Having grown up in Songlan City, the idea of leaving so suddenly made her heart heavy.

"We can go anywhere!" Li Xiaoli said carelessly, shaking her head and speaking mischievously:

"Although we’ve been buying a lot recently, it seems we’ve also cashed out several million. After Yao Buji sets the credit cards straight, we’ll cash out a large sum again. With that money, we could travel around the world, and no one would be able to find us."

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, Xia Wei’er and Liu Mengting couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. Li Xiaoli was planning to scam Yao Buji to death; indeed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

In the chairman’s office of Liu Group, Liu Gaoze sat in his office chair with a grim expression, reading documents. Although he had been removed from his position by the Dark Group, Liu Group was still his enterprise, and he had a lot of work to do. But compared to these daily tasks, he was more concerned about the Dark Group’s experimental department on the twenty-third floor of the Liu Group building.

"Ah!" Liu Gaoze sighed, his mind in turmoil and without the heart to deal with official duties, filled with frustration and helplessness. He had been involved in the project from the start and was on the verge of a major success when he was suddenly removed from his position. This was an achievement that could have been credited to him, but in the end, it seemed like his hard work would be claimed by someone else.

"Well, well, Chairman Liu, why are you sighing?"

Just then, a young man in a black leather jacket strutted into the office.

"Group Leader Hao, what are you doing here?" Liu Gaoze looked at the visitor with an ugly expression. This was the man sent by the higher-ups to take over his position as head of the research team, the same person who was about to snatch the credit that rightfully belonged to him.

"As the head of the research team, I can come and go as I please, do I need your permission?"

The young man looked arrogantly at Liu Gaoze, pulled a chair over, and sat across the desk, saying in a mocking tone:

"I really didn’t expect Chairman Liu to be so capable. You’ve already completed most of the project without anyone noticing. It’s just too bad that I have to oversee it in the final moments. You must be very unhappy, right?"

"Hmph, if you’re here to show off, then please leave," Liu Gaoze huffed, warning gravely:

"Since the project has now reached its final stage, you should focus on your work, lest there be any oversight that leads to failure at this juncture."

"Heh, I’m the group leader now. Is it your turn to tell me how to work?" The young man smirked coldly, tugged at his leather jacket, and said unceremoniously:

"Liu Group is a big company, and the research team is short on funds lately. Transfer a couple of billion for me to spend first!"
