Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

To avoid being discovered, he specifically set up this branch office in Tianhai, ostensibly to open the Tianhai market, but actually to turn this company into his golden nest.

So when he heard the name of the branch office, he immediately became alert, suppressing a bit of his original anger.

He quickly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the Tianhai branch office? Don't tell me Wei Jia has already extended his hand there?"

"It has nothing to do with President Wei..."

Upon hearing it wasn't related to Wei Jia, Yang Liang slightly let out a sigh of relief.

Regarding the branch office, he was most afraid of Wei Jia using tricks against him.

If it wasn't related to Wei Jia, he wasn't afraid of what others could do to the branch office.

"But I just heard news from the branch office that the Tianhai tax bureau suddenly sent someone for a surprise inspection of all the branch's tax affairs, and, and after our inquiry, they seem..."

"Seem like what?!"

Upon hearing about the tax bureau, Yang Liang instantly tensed up, urging with anger and surprise, "Hurry up and say it!"

"News we gathered from people in Tianhai suggests that this surprise tax inspection might be someone behind the scenes targeting us, and that person is very likely... Li Jing."

Bang!

Hearing this name, Yang Liang felt as if he was struck by lightning, his brain instantly exploding.

Li Jing... again, Li Jing...

"President Yang, this tax inspection is of very high specification, with district leaders personally leading the team, none of our connections are useful.

They almost turned all our branch office accounts upside down, seeming to want to uncover all our issues, President Yang, at this rate... the entire branch office might collapse..."

As the words fell, Yang Liang seemed like a deflated balloon, his eyes lost focus, and he sank into his seat.

The flames of anger that burned fiercely were extinguished at this moment, replaced by ice-cold dread.

In his mind, he suddenly recalled a sentence Li Jing had once said:

"You will regret your own foolishness..."

Regret...

Now Yang Liang indeed regretted, even feared.

He didn't expect Li Jing to move so fast, and even more, didn't expect the other's influence to be so significant.

He was different from Wei Jia, he didn't have a substantial family background, nor a deep-rooted network.

Everything he had now relied solely on flattering and fawning over Wei Jia's parents.

If everything he has in the company continues to be targeted like this by the other side, he knew his career would quickly plunge into a downturn.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something he'd heard from the crew's staff.

The boyfriend of the originally designated female second lead had considerable influence and connections in Tianhai that even Wen Lan couldn't suppress.

Yet inexplicably one morning, he waited for Li Jing for nearly an hour, just to apologize and curry favor publicly.

Originally, Yang Liang didn't pay attention to this matter, but now, considering his own situation, the incident became quite significant.

Is this Li Jing... really that formidable?

Upon reaching this conclusion in his mind, Yang Liang was instantly filled with numerous feelings of regret, even wishing he could slap himself.

He had never easily made enemies without understanding the opponent before.

This time, however, due to a woman, he tangled with such a formidable adversary, inwardly scolding himself as a fool.

And the driver in front glanced through the rearview mirror at his boss transforming from confident to dissatisfied, from dissatisfaction to anger, and finally from anger to soul-crushing despair, couldn't help but be surprised.

He didn't know what Yang Liang had gone through, but from hearing "Li Jing" repeatedly in the conversation, he vaguely guessed that President Yang might have provoked a significant figure named Li Jing.

Thinking of this, he shook his head secretly, feeling complex emotions: the feud of these big shots was too terrifying, it's best for him to just drive simply.

Moments later, Yang Liang finally emerged from his complex emotional fluctuations, slowly picked up his phone, hesitated for a long time before finally dialing the number he'd gotten from the crew for Li Jing.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Listening to the ringing tone, Yang Liang's heart felt like it was about to leap out of his throat.

Finally connected, before he could speak, he heard a crisp young female voice: "Hello, who is this?"

"I-I'm Yang Liang, seeking President Li." Yang Liang paused, finding the voice somewhat familiar, asking, "Who are you?"

"President Yang?"

At this moment, about to get off to the advertising company, Yang Xiaoxiu was shocked, instinctively turned to Li Jing beside her.

Seeing Li Jing gesturing for her to continue taking the call, Yang Xiaoxiu could only brace herself and say, "President Yang, I'm Yang Xiaoxiu, is there anything you need?"

"Xiaoxiu? Ah no, Ms. Xiaoxiu, is President Li around? I have something important to discuss with him."

Realizing Yang Liang's voice had become extremely cautious and respectful, Yang Xiaoxiu was taken aback, not quite processing it.

Especially as the other party addressed her as 'teacher', leaving her even more puzzled as she turned to see Li Jing admiring a beauty walking on the roadside, having no intention to take the call, she could only continue speaking into her phone:

"Well... Brother Jing is too busy right now, if there's something, you can tell me, and I'll pass it on."

"This..."

The hesitation in Yang Liang's tone was noticeable over the phone before he spoke again:

"Alright, Ms. Xiaoxiu, this matter also concerns you, so it's fine to tell you, but please make sure to convey it to President Li."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu became even more puzzled: "I understand, please go ahead..."

"It's about the events at today's premiere..."

Yang Liang seemed to organize his words before continuing, "I sincerely apologize to President Li and to you, it was my mistake not recognizing your eminence, I hope President Li will be magnanimous and forgive my folly, and should there be anything in the future where you need my help, I assure Yang Liang will do everything in my power to assist.

Also, Ms. Xiaoxiu, I sincerely apologize to you as well, it will never happen again."

After listening, Yang Xiaoxiu held her phone dumbfounded for a moment before blankly nodding, "Oh, oh alright, I... will tell Brother Jing."

Hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaoxiu turned, looking incredulously at Li Jing beside her: "Brother Jing, President Yang he..."

"Forget about him, this person won't appear in your life again."

Li Jing smiled, glanced at the phone in her hand, "Weren't you going to get me a new phone case?"

"Oh yes, yes, I'll get it replaced now."

Earlier, Yang Xiaoxiu had taken out the specially made phone case for Li Jing, intending to replace it before Yang Liang's call came through.

Once the phone case was replaced, Li Jing took a look and noticed it was handmade with a photo of the "Mortal" crew on it.

If you looked closely, standing right behind Li Jing was Yang Xiaoxiu, and Yang Xiaoxiu was secretly making a small heart with one hand behind Li Jing.

Yang Xiaoxiu had used this picture to make a phone case for Li Jing, as part of her little scheme.

Li Jing didn't mind at all, putting his phone away, "Go to shoot the ad, I'll wander nearby, call me when you finish."

"Yes, yes, I'll do it quickly, within two hours at most."

Yang Xiaoxiu nodded earnestly, initially wanting to ask about Yang Liang, but ultimately not voicing her question.

At this moment, she truly realized Li Jing's influence and capabilities, her respect and admiration deepened.

Then she pecked Li Jing's cheek, turned, and jogged away.

Li Jing watched her departing figure, smiling and shaking his head, then noticed a chain massage shop ahead, thinking to himself: "Two hours, time for a massage..."

...

In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly over Lishui City.

Wei Jia, resting at the hotel, heard a knock on the door and opened it to find her assistant Bai Rui standing outside.

She gestured for her to come in, asking accordingly, "How's the company? Are they still deliberately holding up my resignation process? Is Yang Liang's team still investigating my previous projects?"

"Initially, yes, they kept claiming you were involved in misappropriating funds, continuously searching for evidence and records, despite clearly finding no issues, they used various excuses to prevent your resignation."

After listening, Wei Jia nodded calmly: "With Yang Liang's character, I've expected this for a long time, there shouldn't be any issues with previous projects, he won't find anything, it will only take some time."

"Hmm."

Bai Rui nodded, then paused for a moment before frowning slightly at Wei Jia, saying, "However, President Wei, something odd happened in the company today."
