Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 225: Cannon Fodder's Sacrifice

"Whatever, the faster the better," Li Mubai sighed helplessly. After hanging up the phone, he smelled a faint fragrance, which made his stomach even hungrier.

Moreover, the scent seemed to be getting stronger.

Just as Li Mubai's stomach was about to growl, a beautiful figure suddenly floated past him.

"You'd better eat something to warm yourself up. It's not good for your body to drink on an empty stomach."

Yun Xiaoyue placed a bowl of hot soup noodles on the coffee table. With a gloomy face, she didn't look at Li Mubai's surprised expression. She explained as if trying to cover up her true intentions, "Don't think too much about it. It's just a gesture of reciprocation for the day you kindly called a doctor for me. If you really don't like it, you can pour it away."

After saying that, she stayed for less than a second before lightly floating into her own room.

Li Mubai looked at the closed door and then turned to look at the bowl of hot soup noodles on the coffee table. He smiled and suddenly remembered that it had been a long, long time since someone had cooked for him with such care. This was the only soft spot in his heart, and it was unexpectedly touched.

It seemed that besides the benefits of being reborn, creating this female protagonist was also beneficial to him.

Although he didn't have the halo of the protagonist, it seemed that the author's halo was still protecting Li Mubai.

Sure enough, after a while, Yun Guo personally called.

Of course, there was no substantial content in the phone call, just asking the young couple to come over for dinner.

The implied meaning: We all know what's going on.

As expected, at the Yun family's banquet, Yun Guotao "generously" agreed to Li Mubai's personnel arrangements and even encouraged Yun Xiaoyue, who had become an executive director, to assist her husband in managing the foundation. No matter what difficulties she encountered, the Yun family would always support her.

Although she knew that these were all lies, being praised by her father for the first time in her life still made Yun Xiaoyue feel a bit overwhelmed.

Since she was young, she had known her humble status. Under her mother's guidance, she actively learned kindness and rationality, and made various efforts to win her father's recognition. Unfortunately, everything was in vain. Even if she performed outstandingly year after year at school, Yun Guo never spared her a glance.

In her father's eyes, there was only business and the Yun siblings.

Oh, and the deceased ex-wife from twenty-four years ago.

In fact, when Yun Xiaoyue closed the door at the engagement banquet, she had already given up on her father completely. She didn't expect her father to show her a shred of true love. But in order to let her mother hold her head high, she decided to make every effort.

Now, seeing that she was benefiting from Li Mubai's spotlight and receiving unprecedented treatment, Yun Xiaoyue's feelings towards Li Mubai also slightly improved.

It is still unclear why he has changed so much, but at least he has kept his promise and even given her a chance to prove herself. These are completely contrary to her pre-marriage expectations.

Of course, Yun Xiaoyue also knows that Li Mubai's decision to promote her to a management position is partly to balance his own interests with the conflicts of the Yun family. After all, she is the key link between the Yun and Li families.

In other words, by promoting her, both sides can accept it.

It can be foreseen that in the future, Yun Xiaoyue will often find herself caught in disputes between the two major financial conglomerates.

During peaceful times, both sides may try to win her over and continue to increase her value.

During conflicts, she may be simultaneously pressured by both sides and become a sacrificial pawn.
