Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

The car arrived at San Tiao Alley, and before leaving, Li Xiaoyao left his mobile number with Chairman Ji.

Although it was just a matter of saying a word for Ji Yutao to get Li Xiaoyao's phone number, there's a world of difference between asking someone for it and being given it by Li Xiaoyao himself.

When Li Xiaoyao returned to the bar, Zhao Ge and the others had all already come back.

Wang Fuxing was a clever man, since he had let Li Xiaoyao go, would he detain the others?

Zhao Ge stood at the entrance of the bar and, upon seeing Li Xiaoyao come out of a car, hurried forward and asked, "Who was that?"

To strangers, Li Xiaoyao was cold, but he never skimped on smiles for those he knew well.

"Oh, that was Chairman Ji."

"Chairman Ji?" Zhao Ge looked puzzled.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Yeah, the top man."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ge jumped in fright, his eyes wide as he stared at the unremarkable departing sedan and asked, "You know Ji Yutao?"

Li Xiaoyao hummed in acknowledgment and as he walked toward the bar, he said, "I didn't before, but now I do."

"Xiaoyao, I find that I understand you less and less, even Chairman Ji is someone you can connect with." Zhao Ge re-evaluated Li Xiaoyao, trying to see through him.

Li Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "He just needed a favor from me."

"Needed a favor from you..."

Zhao Ge was speechless, his own brother had so many secrets that he didn't know about.

...

Pan-Blue Company.

Recently, the girls at the company have been in a bad mood because Li Xiaoyao hadn't appeared at the company for a long time.

In the company girls' group chat, they discussed various matters related to Li Xiaoyao every day.

"Has President Li resigned?"

"No resignation, I heard President Li seems to have been promoted and is now Director Lan's personal bodyguard."

"Ah! Director Lan is so lucky to be able to see President Li up close every day."

"Envy +1!"

"Envy +2!"

"Envy +3!"

"Envy +n..."

As these girls were discussing Li Xiaoyao, two high-end bulletproof cars stopped downstairs at the company.

The cars came to a halt and four men got out of the rear vehicle, walked to the car in front, and one of them opened the back door.

Two legs wrapped in black silk stretched out from the car, and slowly, a tall, distinguished-looking woman stepped out.

Following the woman, a handsome young man in his twenties also got out of the car.

The woman, in her thirties with burgundy wavy hair, had a refined and regal face. Despite her age, she radiated a lingering charm.

Especially when she walked, her movement had an enchanting grace that naturally attracted the attention of every man entering or leaving the company building.

The woman's face seemed to always carry a smile as she walked into the company surrounded by her bodyguards.

Seeing this, a security guard came over quickly and asked, "Hello, miss, may I know who you're looking for?"

"Miss?" The woman glanced at the security guard with a smile that turned into a cold glint, and said softly, "Slap him!"

A bodyguard approached swiftly, grabbed the security guard's hair, and without a word, slapped him several times across the face.

The security guard was dazed, and it wasn't until blood filled his mouth that the bodyguard dropped him on the ground.

As the bodyguard began hitting the security guard, the entire lobby on the first floor of the company went silent, and all eyes turned towards the scene.

The rest of the security guards quickly came over, helped the beaten guard up, and glared at the woman, saying, "No matter who you are, we will call the police for assault!"

The woman chuckled and said, "Then call the police. I want to see how Lan Cai disciplines you lot of lapdogs."

The security guards shivered inwardly when they heard the woman call out Lan Cai by name, speculating about her identity in whispers.

The woman had no interest in lingering and stepped toward the elevator, asking, "What floor is Lan Cai on?"

Though agitated, the guards surmised her status was extraordinary and responded, "The 28th floor."

The woman, flanked by her bodyguards, stepped into the elevator and ascended.

Sitting in the elevator, she looked at the moving numbers and murmured to herself, "The quality of the elevator isn't bad."

The handsome man by her side replied nonchalantly, "I heard that during the accident, it was the bodyguard by Lan Cai who saved her. Otherwise, no matter how good the elevator was, falling from over ten floors would still be fatal."

The woman hummed in acknowledgment, "Good thing she didn't die, otherwise the arranged marriage with the Zheng Family would've fallen through. When you think about it, this girl is somewhat useful to the Lan Family."

In the lobby downstairs, a security guard looked at his colleague, who was somewhat unconscious from the beating, and said angrily, "Take Mosquito to the security room to rest."

The guard then hesitated for a few seconds before taking out his cell phone and dialing a number.

"Hello, Minister Li."

…

In the bar, Li Xiaoyao was drinking and chatting with Zhao Ge when suddenly, he received a call.

Not many knew Li Xiaoyao's number; among them were a few low-ranking individuals from Pan-Blue International's security staff.

In Li Xiaoyao's phone book, they were perhaps at the very bottom.

However, Li Xiaoyao enjoyed talking to them because their thoughts weren't too complicated.

"Yo, Daring, what made you think to call me?" Li Xiaoyao answered the phone with a chuckle.

"Minister Li, there's been an incident..."

Li Xiaoyao's expression darkened as he finished listening to Daring recount the incident, then said promptly, "I understand, I'll be there immediately."

After hanging up, Zhao Ge asked, "What happened?"

Li Xiaoyao replied, "There's trouble at the company, Mosquito got beaten up. That group of people went looking for Cai'er. You stay at the bar, I'm heading over."

Zhao Ge stood up, saying, "I'll come with you."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, "No need, I can go alone."

Zhao Ge still wanted to talk, but Li Xiaoyao had already stood up and left the bar.

Watching Li Xiaoyao's retreating figure, Zhao Ge suddenly realized that Li Xiaoyao had just referred to Lan Cai as 'Cai'er.'

The relationship between the two seemed somewhat unusual.

Li Xiaoyao immediately drove to the company, and within a short twenty minutes, he arrived.

Without even pulling the car key out, he jumped out of the car and strode into the company with a cold face.

Employees entering and leaving the company were surprised to see Li Xiaoyao's arrival, especially the girls, who reacted by shouting loudly, "Director Li, you've arrived!"

"Hmm," Li Xiaoyao, rarely without a smile, acknowledged them and headed to the security department.

The female employees, snapping out of their daze, quickly took photos of Li Xiaoyao and sent them to the group chat.

As expected, the photos caused a flurry of excitement among the girls.

"Wow, it's Director Li!"

"Director Li is here?"

"Where is he? I want to sneak a peek at him."

The girl who took the photos said, "I saw Director Li looking very angry, seems like something happened."

"Hey, I heard a security guard was beaten downstairs, could Director Li be at the company because of this?"

"That's possible."

"Wow, I'm so looking forward to it, Director Li will surely dish out justice to that thug on the spot."
