Han Min\'s face turned livid with rage after Li Shiqi told her off. "You bastard. Did you yell at me for a piece of trash? Have you forgotten how I helped you back then..."

"Alright, alright. That\'s enough." Li Shiqi hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered his voice, "It\'s all an act. If you have anything on your mind, we can discuss it once we sign the contract. For now, we need to reassure Long Chen."

Han Min was stunned for a moment before her reflexes could react. And at that instant, Long Chen\'s phone rang. It was Li Yechan. He picked it up and heard the excited voice at the other end. "I\'ve signed the contract, Long Chen. I won\'t be home yet. I have to head to the office for some work stuff. Be ready for your prize when I come home tonight."

"Okay, honey. Congratulations." Long Chen chuckled.

"Mhm. You did well this time. I\'ll get back to work then."

After Li Yuechan hung up the phone, Long Chen told Li Shiqi the news. Li Shiqi was so excited that he almost jumped, and the knot in his stomach finally untwisted. His eyes drifted back to Long Chen, and he said with a smile, "You\'ve been a great help to the Li family. You should stay for the time being."

"Eh, Father? That\'s not what you said yesterday. Didn\'t you promise to give me 1 million Yuan as my reward?" Long Chen frowned.

"Either you stay or leave with a million yuan. Which one will you choose?" Li Shiqi asked.

Long Chen sighed. He knew that Li Shiqi would go back on his words. But none of this was significant. A mere one million yuan was nothing in his eyes. He understood well that with his current abilities, he could make as much money as he wanted in the future.

"Long Chen, I\'ve texted my boyfriend. He\'ll be here soon," Li Yuexin said out of nowhere.

"What do you mean? You\'re asking your boyfriend to come here and beat me up?" Long Chen swept his gaze over her.

"Ha. Since you played dirty tricks on me, I must take my revenge, so you wait." Li Yuexin sneered.

Han Min faked a yawn as she got up to leave. "I\'m taking a nap."

"I need a break too." Li Shiqi stretched as if he had not heard Li Yuexin\'s words.

It was obvious that Han Min and Li Shiqi were going to overlook how Li Yuexin was getting her payback. It made Long Chen infuriated. He had just helped the Lis out, but this was how they repaid him.

"You\'d better tell your boyfriend to lay low. Otherwise, you\'ll regret it," Long Chen said coldly. His tone was unprecedented, intimidating.

It was the first time Li Yuexin had observed this emotion in Long Chen, and she got startled out of instinct. However, when she thought of the power Ning Haoran held, Li Yuexin regained her arrogance. "Keep faking it. Let\'s see if you can still hold up your audacity in a minute, you wretched thing."

Long Chen stared at her, trying his best to restrain the impulse to beat her up. Besides his mother-in-law, Han Min, Li Yuexin was the most snobbish during his past year in their family.

But Long Chen didn\'t pounce on her. Since Li Yuexin thought her boyfriend was invincible, he didn\'t mind meeting Ning Haoran.

Half an hour later, Ning Haoran arrived at Li\'s residence with his expensive gifts. Han Min and Li Shiqi reappeared and welcomed him passionately with lips that would never turn down. Especially when Han Min saw the million-yuan Porsche parked at the entrance, she had wanted to lick his boots.

"Haoran. What a beautiful name. Righteous, symbolizing heaven and earth. You\'ll turn out a great man in the future." Li Shiqi laughed.

"That\'s so sweet, Uncle. I don\'t have that many goals. I\'m already content with my annual salary of 10 million. Happiness is being satisfied with what you have." Though Ning Haoran sounded humble, he was creating a false appearance. He even shot Long Chen a provocative glance.

"Long Chen, you have much to learn from your brother-in-law, Haoran. He\'s about the same age as you, but he\'s already earning tens of millions a year at such a young age. And look at yourself. You\'re unmotivated, and you don\'t even have a job. You\'re freeloading at home every day. If this went on, I wouldn\'t be at ease to hand Yuechan over," Han min said with complete earnestness.

"What? Chen doesn\'t have a job yet?" Ning Haoran acted surprised.

"Nope, no job." Han Min sighed. "I wouldn\'t have to worry about him every day if he was half as smart as you."

"Haoran, why don\'t you make some inside connection? Any job is fine." Li Yuexin blinked at him.

Ning Haoran got her cue. "Chen, our company\'s looking for a security guard. The monthly pay is 4500 yuan, insurance and pension included. Are you in?"

It was clear he was trying to provoke Long Chen. "Not interested," Long Chen replied calmly.

"Are you planning on freeloading for the rest of your life? You\'re a man. Don\'t you have any dignity?" Li Yuexin called him out, showing him no respect at all.

Long Chen frowned and shot the words. "First of all, I never said that. I\'ll look for something to do soon. Secondly, I helped our family win a project worth hundreds of millions this time. You call this freeloading?"

"It\'s just one of your little tricks. Stop acting all great. If Haoran were to make a move, he would be able to take it down with his potential instead," Li Yuexin disdained.

"The project at Wanxing Mall?" It took Ning Haoran by surprise.

"Yes, that\'s the one," Li Yuexin answered.

Ning Haoran\'s gaze locked on Long Chen with rising massacring intent. His company had also competed for that project, and he was the person in charge. However, before he had come to the Li\'s. he realized someone else had won the project this morning. He never expected Long Chen, the useless son-in-law who married into the Li family, had played a prime role in the project.

"I wonder what kind of tricks Chen used? Such a big project can\'t be won by mere trickery, right?" Ning Haoran tilted his brow.

"No comment." Long Chen was monotone.

"What if I were to make you answer my question?" Ning Haoran looked straight into Long Chen\'s eyes, his attitude overbearing.

"I don\'t think you\'re capable of doing that." Long Chen did not panic at all.

Ning Haoran\'s face darkened, and he clenched his fists. He wasn\'t anticipating Long Chen to talk to him like that.

"Long Chen, how can you speak to Haoran in that tone? You\'re just lucky to have saved Wang Wanli before. Otherwise, why would he grant the project to our family? Stop making people assume you\'re capable. It annoys me just looking at you. Keep a low profile. The person sitting in front of you has an annual salary of tens of millions. Now you don\'t even have a job. You\'re standing here talking to him because of Yuexin. Do you understand?" Han Min criticized him brutally.

"Mother," Long Chen frowned and reasoned sternly, "Let\'s not talk about the fact that he has an annual salary of 10 million. Even if he has an annual salary of 100 million, it has nothing to do with me."

"You\'re jealous, aren\'t you? However, no matter how jealous you are, it won\'t help because you\'ll never be able to earn 10 million a year in your lifetime," Han min sneered.

Long Chen couldn\'t help but argue, "If I took over the Wanxing Mall project, even if I subcontracted it, it\'ll be easy to earn that 10 or 20 million, right?"

"Too bad that we\'ve already signed the contract. It\'s no use even if you have such ideas," Han min said in disdain.

"I\'m trying to say that we can\'t just have money in our hearts. We must also remember gratitude. Without it, we\'ll become disgusting people." With that, Long Chen stood up and left.

"Long Chen, let\'s talk outside." Ning Haoran immediately stood up with Long Chen, and a wicked smile had widened on his face.
