Li Yuanyi was satisfied that finally, his father had given him a go signal to cooperate with Zhang Jiren. He knew that even though the old man refused to admit it, their father still cared about Li Meili. The fact that Zhang Jiren was able to overturn the table against his older brother by being acquainted with his sister told Li Yuanyi that Zhang Jiren had earned his father's favor because of her.
Still, that was better than signing a collaboration with Zhang Liang. Li Meili might be able to dodge the bullet for now, but who could tell what Zhang Liang plans to do in the future? Zhang Liang didn't give up once and was very persistent. Li Yuanyi could only keep an eye on him for now.
Li Meili had a better mood now that she had eaten. However, she refused to stay at the party with her family much longer. When she voiced her intention to go home alone, Chairman Li took the opportunity to set her up with Zhang Jiren.
