Chapter 1787: Oddball

Li Jiaojiao shot him a sidelong glance, “Are you an idiot? Don’t you know to call a waiter to fix it?”

“I thought, you’d get drunk later and need to go back to your room to rest. If the shower head is broken, it would delay your bath, and you never like outsiders entering your room.”

Li Jiaojiao hummed, unsure if she believed him, but at least she was not angry anymore.

She pointed at the manicurist, “Wipe it off and redo it, make it stickier, and also, you need to compensate me for the diamond that fell off before, deduct it from your salary.”

The manicurist was about to die of frustration; Li Jiaojiao loved sticking diamonds on her nails, and every time, the manicurist had to endure scolding to remind her that diamonds are prone to falling off. Li Jiaojiao always agreed perfunctorily, but when a diamond did fall off, she blamed the manicurist.

If it weren’t for the high salary and the leisurely job of only serving Li Jiaojiao, who would want this lousy job!

Chairman Li walked over, and Song Jin immediately stood up straight, “Chairman Li!”

The woman’s gaze leisurely wandered over him.

Having just done that thing, her seductive demeanor hadn’t faded yet, her voice soft and playfully complaining, “Jiaojiao, why are you still sitting here? Come with mom, I’ll introduce you to a few people.”

Li Jiaojiao was impatient, “I don’t want to, I’m especially annoyed by your friends, they’re all old geezers with bad mouths, I don’t feel like listening to them babbling about me, you go meet them yourself, why call me.”

“You child! They’re the connections mom has paved for you. You’ll make use of them when you take over the company in the future.”

“That’s why you should have another child quickly!”

Li Jiaojiao sat there, her gaze rising, “Don’t you have lots of young studs around? When dad was alive you snuck around, he’s been dead for years, he can’t control you anymore. Just find someone and have a baby, let him inherit the family business. I only know how to spend money, I can’t do anything else.”

The manicurist’s hand nearly slipped.

She’s heard many strange things, but rarely something this peculiar.

There’s really a young lady of a rich family who doesn’t want to inherit the family business and encourages her mother to secretly have a child.

“That mouth of yours!”

Chairman Li gave her a light smack, not hard, but Li Jiaojiao cried out immediately, “Why! That hurt!”

Chairman Li gave her a reproachful look, “So many guests here today, you don’t help me entertain them, hiding here to get your nails done. When I sent someone to find you, you just hid. What does that look like!”

“I don’t like dealing with those people.”

“Then what do you like? Money? I’m getting old, and one day I’ll have to retire. If you can’t get money from me anymore, let’s see what you’ll do!”

Mentioning money was the way to hit Li Jiaojiao’s sore spot.

She pouted reluctantly and muttered, “I’ll go, alright? Let me finish my nails first.”

“That’s a good girl.”

Chairman Li gave her a gentle push, her gaze fell on Song Jin, she winked before turning to her daughter to say, “I’ll take Xiao Song with me, he can help me handle the drinks.”

Li Jiaojiao didn’t even lift her head, waved her hand like shooing away.

But Song Jin still had to coax her with words before leaving behind Chairman Li.

Today, the Li Family mother and daughter certainly stole the spotlight.

Her husband passed away early; Chairman Li took over the mess in middle age. Back then, some self-proclaimed veterans in the company were constantly trying to push her out and giving her a hard time. She, a lone woman, persevered through all of this, and although there have been occasional rumors about her private life in recent years, no matter how she managed to score business deals, it was considered skill.

At this moment, there was quite a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
