Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Lan Cai set down the document in her hand and looked towards Li Xiaoyao. From this angle, she could clearly see the profile of his face.

Li Xiaoyao’s posture was elegant, and even though his attire was quite ordinary, there was an extraordinary air about him.

For a moment, Lan Cai grew curious about Li Xiaoyao. Before she called him in, she had already reviewed his resume. Even Lan Cai had to admit, if Li Xiaoyao was truly as his resume stated, he was indeed remarkable.

Lan Cai didn’t grow impatient with Li Xiaoyao looking at the landscape painting; instead, she sat in her office chair, quietly observing him. She wanted to see just how long Li Xiaoyao could keep looking.

"Tsk, tsk." Li Xiaoyao shook his head lightly and smacked his lips, exclaiming, "What a good painting!"

"What’s good about it?" Lan Cai’s voice suddenly rang out.

Li Xiaoyao turned his head, saw Lan Cai looking at him, and didn’t show the restraint or panic that subordinates often did when facing their leader. Instead, he grinned and said, "Good is just good, there’s no need for so many reasons."

Lan Cai was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting such an answer from Li Xiaoyao.

Lan Cai didn’t continue discussing the landscape painting, but instead pointed to a chair in front of the desk and said, "Mr. Li, please take a seat."

Li Xiaoyao walked over and sat down in front of her confidently, locking eyes with her without a hint of evasion.

Lan Cai found this man somewhat unusual, but that was all.

Dispensing with the niceties, Lan Cai got straight to the point, "The police department contacted me, they thanked you for your assistance in solving the case."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao immediately understood. So that was it, it was about the case.

Li Xiaoyao said, "It’s only right to cooperate with the police."

Lan Cai said, "Your help with solving the case has brought our company a good image. I’ve already spoken with the finance department to give you a bonus."

Li Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up, there was even a bonus involved. He quickly asked, "How much?"

Lan Cai was somewhat speechless; she had never encountered an employee like Li Xiaoyao before.

Ordinary employees, if they met her, would be somewhat flustered or would bow their heads, not daring to meet her gaze. Even if she was giving them a bonus, their first reaction would be gratitude. But this Li Xiaoyao, upon hearing about a reward, immediately asked about the price. This was really...

With a bit of resignation, Lan Cai said, "100,000."

Li Xiaoyao compared the amount in his mind and muttered softly, "Only 100,000, the police department’s bonus is 200,000."

Lan Cai heard him, but still asked knowingly, "What did you say?"

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled, "Nothing much, I’m just thinking about how to thank Director Lan."

Lan Cai gave a cold chuckle, thinking to herself, you think I didn’t hear what you just said?

Returning to her usual detached expression, Lan Cai said, "Alright, go to finance to get your bonus."

Li Xiaoyao didn’t care about Lan Cai’s attitude towards him; as long as there was money to be had, that was all that mattered.

Watching Li Xiaoyao leave the office, Lan Cai’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed. This Li Xiaoyao, not even a word of farewell when leaving, was truly impolite.

Lan Cai shook her head. With anyone else, she would have immediately notified the HR department to have them fired, as she placed special importance on employee-leader relationships. But with Li Xiaoyao having just helped the police solve a significant case and earning the company considerable reputation, she would have to tolerate him for now, even if she didn’t like him much.

"Once this period is over, if he’s still the same, I’ll have him fired," Lan Cai thought to herself.

After leaving the office, Li Xiaoyao immediately went to the finance department. The finance manager was a woman in her thirties, wearing glasses. She handed a form to Li Xiaoyao with an expressionless face and said, "Sign here."

Signing chump change, Li Xiaoyao understood that process well.

But just as Li Xiaoyao was about to sign, he suddenly noticed that the amount that should have been 100,000 had inexplicably changed to 50,000.

Li Xiaoyao’s brow instantly furrowed, and he threw the pen down, looking down at the old woman from above and asked, "Director Lan promised me a bonus of 100,000, why does the form only show 50,000?"

The old woman looked up at Li Xiaoyao, her tone still lukewarm, "It’s only 50,000, take it or leave it."

Li Xiaoyao couldn’t help but laugh at the old woman’s attitude. An idea struck him immediately; he slipped his left hand into his pocket, swiftly turned on his phone’s recording function, and then rapped on the desk, saying, "I’ll give you a friendly reminder, you’d better give me the full 100,000 Xuan Country Currency that Director Lan awarded me. Don’t even think about docking a single Xuan Country Currency, or you’ll bear the consequences."

The old woman put her file down, turned her chair to face Li Xiaoyao, and the rest of the people in the office, upon hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words, also turned their attention to him.

In larger companies, it was quite common for superiors to allocate funds and for subordinates to skim off the top.

Li Xiaoyao certainly knew this unwritten rule, but he didn’t care. It didn’t matter when it didn’t affect him, but if this old woman thought about skinning him, she had picked the wrong person.

The old woman said, "It’s only 50,000, you can choose to leave it."

Li Xiaoyao stared at the old woman gravely for a moment, then smiled. Everyone turned to gaze at Li Xiaoyao as he took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket.

Li Xiaoyao shook his phone at the old woman with a sinister grin, "I’ve recorded everything we’ve just said, and I think if Director Lan hears this, your loss would be much more than 50,000, wouldn’t it?"

Fear flashed across the old woman’s face, and the others in the office were astonished as well. They hadn’t expected Li Xiaoyao to be so cunning, to record their conversation beforehand.

This man’s actions were utterly ruthless, but they couldn’t help but admire how capable Li Xiaoyao truly was.

The old woman’s face darkened as she took out another piece of paper from a file bag and begrudgingly handed it to Li Xiaoyao, "I handed the wrong one earlier, this is the correct one, have a look, and sign if there’s no issue."

Li Xiaoyao glanced at the paper, which showed the award amount of 100,000, and only after confirming there were no issues did he sign.

After signing, Li Xiaoyao immediately asked, "In cash or transfer?"

"Transfer." The old woman didn’t want to talk to Li Xiaoyao for another minute.

Transfer was actually quite troublesome, because Li Xiaoyao didn’t have a bank card. He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Tang Tiantian.

Without time to explain much, Li Xiaoyao simply said, "Tiantian, send me your bank card number."

Tang Tiantian didn’t ask many questions and just sent Li Xiaoyao her card number.

Li Xiaoyao wrote down the card number and gave it to the financial old woman, saying, "Transfer the money to this card."

The old woman originally wanted to say: I can’t transfer it if it’s not your card.

But thinking that this man didn’t play by the rules, she didn’t say it. Better to avoid more trouble, lest it caused any more issues.

The old woman transferred the money quickly, and Tang Tiantian’s call came right through.

"Li Xiaoyao, did you send me money?" Tang Tiantian’s voice carried a hint of panic, because just now, she had received a bank text message informing her that 100,000 Xuan Country Currency had been deposited into her account.

100,000 Xuan Country Currency was an enormous sum for Tang Tiantian. Although her salary was not low, she had a brother in university, so she would send part of her salary to him every month. Over time, she had not saved much money.

But now, her bank account suddenly had an extra 100,000 Xuan Country Currency. There was no need to question it; the money definitely came from Li Xiaoyao.

What Tang Tiantian couldn’t understand was, why would Li Xiaoyao send her money?
