Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 59 - 57 Embarrassing Incident

The two exchanged greetings, both feeling a little strange inside. Li Guozhi couldn’t help but wonder, could this person even handle the job?

"Guozhi, is your boss here right now? We’d like to have a chat!"

"Manager Cui seems to be in the office! But, sister-in-law, I already asked earlier this morning. They said they aren’t hiring right now and even in the future, potential hires would have to meet certain requirements."

Li Guozhi was feeling a bit awkward now—having just been turned down by Manager Cui, and now bringing people to talk further with the boss. What kind of situation was this?

"That’s no problem! My sister-in-law here is well-educated and clever. Once your boss sees her, he’ll definitely hire her! Let’s go to his office and have a talk, shall we?"

Zhang Meihua felt that her younger sister-in-law didn’t set things up clearly enough. It seemed she would have to intervene personally.

"Alright, let’s go then!" Li Guozhi secretly regretted taking on this responsibility back then—it wasn’t clear how things might end up impacting him now.

In the Manager’s office on the second floor, Cui Hao sat in the boss’s chair and looked sternly at the three people standing in front of him. No wonder Li Si had told him to keep the truth about her being the real boss under wraps.

See? Sometimes honest people can still surprise you with unexpected moves. And what’s with all these relatives? This is a restaurant, a dining place, and yet they’re dressed like they’re selling something on the streets. The overpowering cheap perfume alone could choke you. With this sort of image, wouldn’t they scare away the customers?

"Manager Cui, are you saying that such a large establishment as this doesn’t need a single extra person? That’s impossible!" Zhang Meihua practically wore out her lips praising her sister-in-law, but Manager Cui remained steadfast with his claim that no additional staff were needed.

"We hired a batch of people before the New Year—that much Little Li knows. Our current staffing situation is full, and it’s likely that come the off-season, we might even need to downsize a bit. So you’d better try asking somewhere else. I have some work to get back to, take care! Little Li, escort your relatives out for me."

The three walked out of the restaurant and stood by the entrance. Hu Ling, furious, spat out, "Ugh, what a lousy place. Even if they ask for me next time, I wouldn’t come! Sis, let’s just go!"

Zhang Meihua grabbed Hu Ling as she tried to storm off, then turned back to the awkward and nervous Li Guozhi. Smiling lightly, she said, "It’s alright, Guozhi. You can head back now! It’s not like you have any say in this business, no one’s blaming you. Stop by my house sometime when you’re free!"

"Alright. I’m so sorry, Sister-in-law, and to this younger cousin as well. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on things. The moment I hear they’re hiring, I’ll let you know right away!" Li Guozhi’s hands fidgeted unconsciously.

"Alright, you can head back now. We’re leaving!" Turning away, Zhang Meihua’s face no longer carried that breezy calm—inside, she was quietly stewing, growing annoyed at Li Guozhi. Why give people false hope if there’s no actual chance? Back during the New Year, she’d made such grand promises, acting as though success was in the bag.

After they left, Cui Hao called Li Si to briefly recount what had happened. Li Si was at Leng Mochen’s house, sitting together as they worked on putting together a puzzle.

After hanging up the phone, Li Si frowned slightly. Right now, they were still unaware that she was the owner behind the scenes. Cui Hao could continue to act as the barrier for now, but what if one day they found out? Would a ton of shameless relatives start coming to beg for money?

No, she needed to think of a way to handle this!

"Girl, don’t frown. What’s wrong?" Leng Mochen put down the puzzle piece he was holding and lightly touched her brow. Sunlight illuminated her fair and soft face, even the fine baby hairs on her skin were visible.

"Hmm, it’s something minor! Brother Leng, there’s something I haven’t told you! Actually, the private kitchen we ate at the other day—it’s mine! You won’t be mad at me for not telling you, right?"

Li Si thought things over and decided to reveal the truth, though she was a little nervous that Brother Leng might be upset with her for holding back.

"Little girl, what is there to be upset about? Everyone has their little secrets—I have plenty I haven’t shared with you either! So, let me tell you one of my secrets. Want to hear it? Hmm?" Leng Mochen gave a sly smile.

"Yes! I absolutely want to hear your secrets!" Li Si nodded emphatically, leaning close to him with her eyes sparkling in anticipation.

"Here’s the secret: as of yesterday, I’ve joined the ranks of multimillionaires!" Leng Mochen sighed inwardly. Sorry, little girl, there are some things I just can’t share with you.

"Wow, multimillionaire? Oh my god, if all that money were stuffed into this house, would it fill it to the brim?"

Li Si was absolutely thrilled at the thought—sitting next to a multimillionaire, maybe she could show off someday. Post luxury brands and cars online, write something on forums titled ’Those years I spent befriending rich people’—a super long title guaranteed to go viral!

"Honestly, no clue. But if you’re interested, we could try out the experiment someday!" Leng Mochen rubbed his chin, pondering how feasible that idea could be.

"Brother Leng, I was just kidding—don’t really try that out! I don’t think my heart could take it. To see so much money in one place all at once, my blood pressure might spike and burst my veins!"

Li Si grabbed his hand, laughing nervously, "But hey, hehe, Brother Leng, does this count as me shaking hands with a multimillionaire while standing on the same piece of land?"

"Oh, it’s much more than that—you’ve been standing on a multimillionaire’s foot, too!"

"Huh?" Li Si looked down and realized her white-socked foot was firmly planted on his black-socked one. Flushing, she quickly pulled her foot back! She forced a casual tone as she said, "Sorry about that—guess I got a little excited and stepped on your foot!"

"No problem, though technically, I should apologize for keeping your foot off the ground!" Leng Mochen replied with an entirely serious face.

Li Si sat on the pure white plush rug and laughed heartily. This joke had been recycled so many times! The deadpan delivery from such a straight-faced person only made it funnier.

"Ah, Brother Leng, could you stop teasing me? My stomach hurts from laughing! Also, they say laughing too much can lead to wrinkles, so imagine me looking aged before I’ve even gotten old—how awful would that be!" Li Si clutched her stomach as she continued laughing—until it actually started to hurt.

"Wrinkles would look good on you too. My little sister is a natural beauty—how could she ever look bad?" Leng Mochen noticed her expression subtly shift with a trace of discomfort and quickly asked, "Girl, what’s wrong? Are you really hurting?"

"It’s nothing, Brother Leng. I’ll be fine after a while." Li Si felt a faint pain in her lower abdomen—probably her period arriving soon.

Just as she tried to get up, it was too late. The gush came—it was here. Oh no—what now? This villa was comfortably heated inside, so the two were dressed lightly while playing puzzles in the living room on the first floor.

Li Si wore white pants—she didn’t even need to check to know that the stain would be visible. She wanted to disappear on the spot! Mortifying! No pads in her bag, absolutely no backup plan—how could she be so careless?

Leng Mochen noticed something was off and anxiously leaned in to pick her up, "What’s going on? Girl, I’m taking you to the hospital!"

"No, no, no! Brother Leng, can you... can you just... Ah, could you go buy me some pads?" I’m doomed, dead, totally mortified—Li Si clenched her eyes shut and blurted it out, not daring to raise her head. Her face was beet red, even her ears were burning.
