Chapter 620: Looks Like They Have to Step It Up with the Project

Mr. Li was also stunned.

The entire private room suddenly fell silent.

After a long silence, Mrs. Li suddenly reached out and slapped him. “Li Xuekai! You disappoint me!”

Li Xuekai touched his face and smiled bitterly. He did not speak.

Mr. Li’s fingers trembled. “I don’t care what you did in the past. You have to maintain the image of a curve wrecker for me! I’m telling you, withdraw from this unfinished project immediately!”

Li Xuekai did not speak.

Xue Xi slowly said, “This project will definitely be completed. Moreover, he’s not my employee.”

Mr. Li was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Li Xuekai was also stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

Xue Xi looked at Li Xuekai. “The project has just been established, so you guys have yet to sign a contract. I’ve already asked the legal department to draft the contract. This project is not mine alone. Other than the three teachers who have invested 500,000 yuan and each hold 1% of the shares, the person-in-charge of each group will hold 1% of the shares.”

One percent.

However, this project’s profits would be very impressive in the future. One percent was still a huge sum of money!

Li Xuekai frowned. “Sister Xi, I...”

Xue Xi interrupted him. “This is the system.”

Li Xuekai shut his mouth, but his eyes were slowly filled with gratitude.

Xue Xi might find it strange. She did not do anything, so why was he so emotional?

However, she did not know that her existence, her attitude toward studying, and her thirst for knowledge were all motivation for him to climb up the ranks.

Li Xuekai used to be very sick of the world. He felt that his life was like that of a puppet that was being forced by his mother to read and study. She wanted him to be an academic tyrant, but deep down, he was tired of studying.

Until he met Xue Xi.

During the first National Mathematical Olympiad, even though she had entered half an hour later, she was still calm and composed. There was no anxiety on her face, as though she had come to take the exam and not to get an award. She had no desire except to test her recent studies.

At that time, he had actually intended to forfeit the examination.

However, seeing how hard she was working, he suddenly wanted to see how far he could go if he worked hard.

That was when he said, “I’ll also wait half an hour for you in the second round.”

Just as Li Xuekai was feeling touched, Mr. Li mocked, “It’s laughable to talk about shares when a project can’t be completed! Li Xuekai, since you’ve chosen her, don’t regret it! Let me tell you, when the project is over, I won’t agree even if you beg me to allow you to come home! If you’re a man, you have to pay the price for your choice!”

Li Xuekai lowered his eyes. “Then I hope that you won’t beg me to go home if the project is successful.”

“Beg you to go home? Ha.”

Mr. Li sneered. “This is the biggest joke I’ve heard this year!

“It’ll take a miracle for your project to succeed!” Mr. Li’s words were vicious. “Why can’t you just follow the path we’ve arranged for you? You simply don’t know what’s good for you! If you want to take this other path, I’ll let you run into a bloody mess! I’ll wait to see you struggle to survive!”

After saying this, Mr. Li picked up Li Xuekai’s bank card and walked out.

Mrs. Li pointed at Li Xuekai. “You... You’re forcing your mother to her death!”

She then chased after him. “Honey, Honey, don’t be angry. Give Xuekai another chance. That mistress’s son is an illegitimate child. You can’t bring him home...”

Their voices became softer and softer until they disappeared. The entire private room was filled with silence again.

Xue Xi, Li Zixia, and Xie Yingying were also shocked by Li Xuekai’s words. In everyone’s impression, Li Xuekai was a genius who excelled in his studies and was also an influential figure in the school. However, they had never expected that such a person could be described with the word “rebellious.”

However, when they thought about Mr. and Mrs. Li, they suddenly understood.

His parents had gone too far.

Li Zixia gulped and suddenly took out her WeChat. She sent a message to her father: “Dad, I love you.”

Although Mr. Li had forced her to study and provided her with superior learning conditions to get her into Huaxia University, he had never been as extreme as Li Xuekai’s parents.

Xie Yingying also felt that she was very lucky. At the very least, her parents’ coercion was filled with love and not with utilization.

Among them, only Xue Xi frowned.

She did not understand. Learning was so interesting. Why did he have to be forced to do it? When she first started playing games, it was fine, but after playing too much, she got sick of it.

Only by studying could one receive different new knowledge every day and never get sick of it.

However, seeing Li Xuekai like this, she still felt that they had to step up with the project.

She had originally intended to finish it in half a year.

Should they consider moving it forward to three months? If that was the case, everyone would probably have to work overtime.

At this thought, Xue Xi hurriedly said, “Are you done eating? If you’re full, hurry and go back to study.”

Li Xuekai was originally feeling awkward, but Xue Xi’s words broke the atmosphere in the room. The other three looked at each other and smiled. “Okay!”
