Chapter 1,714 I’m Afraid You’ve Misunderstood

"Is the negotiation settled?" Li Zitao asked, looking at Ben who looked embarrassed.

With a bitter smile, Ben shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, BOSS, for causing you trouble."

Li Zitao smiled without comment and said, "I don't think she gives up that easily... Do you want someone to check it out?"

"Trouble." Ben said silently.

He is a smart person, and although the conversation with Joanna was not pleasant, it was enough for him to make a basic judgment.

The reason why she came back to find him was because of the divorce...

To put it more bluntly, she lost her financial resources and was unable to maintain her extravagant life.

As for why he wants to start over with himself, even Ben, who was called Wood at the beginning, would not believe such a bad excuse.

However, if she didn't live a very happy life, why did she suddenly get divorced?

"After the investigation is over, I will let someone tell you the results." Just as Li Zitao frowned, Joanna actually walked over.

"Mr. Charlie, long time no see." Joanna covered her mouth with her hands and smiled.

"Yes, long time no see." Li Zitao said calmly.

"I'm going to have a drink first. Boss, do you want to join me?" Ben had had enough and didn't want to see her for another second.

Li Zitao said casually: "No, thank you."

"Excuse me." Ben left with a dark face.

Li Zitao's actions seemed to cause some misunderstanding to Joanna. He gradually moved closer, breathing heavily, and said quietly: "Mr. Charlie, I didn't know you had..."

"Sorry, I don't have much time to waste on irrelevant people." Li Zitao raised his hand to interrupt her speech and walked forward.

Joanna froze on the spot with a dull expression until she could no longer see Li Zitao's back. The corners of her mouth suddenly drooped, her shoulders were hunched and she clenched her fists, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

'Damn, damn, damn, damn...'

'How dare they look down on themselves, how dare they look down on themselves... Just wait and see, you will definitely regret it. ’

Feeling the sharp and hostile gaze behind him, Li Zitao felt ridiculous.

‘When did this woman become so arrogant and ignorant? She seems to have learned the bad habits of Europeans very well! ’

…

"Dad, dad, look~" The banquet was over, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning, and Pearl should have fallen asleep at this time.

However, today is her working day.

Jue felt that the wooden box in her hand was filled with change of various denominations. These were her gains tonight.

"It looks like the harvest is good. How much lemonade did you sell?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

When he went to see it, there were only two small buckets around Pearl. Those lemonades couldn't be sold for so much money.

"Two barrels!" Pearl said proudly, raising her finger; "Most customers choose all-you-can-drink for $5, and those who don't have change can get a drink for $1."

"Then you've earned it, right?" Li Zitao smiled and rubbed his head.

"Of course." Pearl raised her head proudly and accepted her father's praise.

Although there is a strong element of trickery in doing so, this trickery is just like luck and is also a part of strength.

If you don't use your own advantages and foolishly shout "I have to rely on myself", then you are really stupid!

"Pearl~" Mary shouted at the door: "It's time for you to go to bed, hurry up..."

"Coming, coming~" Pearl held the box and waved to him, ran to her mother and shouted; "Mom, look, this is all the money I made today!"

"It looks like there are hundreds of dollars. Do you want me to help you store it?"

"Of course not." Pearl hugged the box tightly and resisted with a face full of resistance; "The money is useful, so don't give it to your mother."

"Okay, since you made so much money, you don't need the pocket money for next week..."

"No, that's what we agreed. The money and pocket money don't..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away, and Li Zitao stood there with a gratified and kind smile, 'What a wonderful day! ’

"Charlie." Doris and Jonathan came together, deliberately staying until the end.

"Sorry, I should have talked to you before...there are too many people here." Li Zitao said apologetically.

Today's banquet lasted for 8 hours, everyone was tired enough.

If the situation hadn't been urgent, he wouldn't have left the two of them here until now.

"It doesn't matter, Frandi has already prepared the guest room for us.

It's much more comfortable here than staying in a hotel... I finally have a chance to visit your castle. "

"No problem, I'll let Emperor Frank take you to see it in person tomorrow." Li Zitao said with a smile, "Just don't empty my safe."

"I don't want to try your fist." Jonathan waved his hands exaggeratedly.

Sitting on the sofa talking and laughing, Li Zitao looked at Doris and said: "Doris, I'm sorry that the incident in Vegas has caused trouble to you and others.

Ariel was not mature enough, which was my fault. I thought she could control the situation and not be... affected too much. "

"Children always like to act impulsively, are rebellious and unwilling to listen to advice." Doris looked at her husband and smiled: "We were all young too, weren't we?"

"Yes, Ariel's performance is actually good enough, but it involves too many people and interests, and she doesn't like to be controlled by others." Jonathan praised.

"Kids this age don't like it," Doris smiled.

"I want her to resign as chairman and calm down for a while..." Li Zitao's sudden speech made Doris look stunned.

She didn't expect that Li Zitao came to her to talk about this matter.

"Will this make her angry?" Doris looked at him worriedly.

Although Ariel is a little willful, she can still be regarded as the child Doris watched grow up.

Would such a severe punishment be too serious for her?

"Because of what happened in Vegas, her studies have been delayed for a long time, and her life has become irregular... I'm afraid that excessive pressure will affect her psychology."

Li Zitao was indeed a little worried. Looking back, he found that his previous decisions were too reckless and were too influenced by the late Xu Man.

Even if she is to be left alone and compensated, the decision should be made after she finishes her studies.

However, it's not too late.

Li Zitao plans to send Ariel to school to get her away from these troubles, which is also a kind of protection.

As long as it creates a perception to the outside world that Ariel will be sent into 'exile' if she makes her angry, I believe no one will cause trouble for her again.

As for the matter at hand, Li Zitao remembered that there was a man named Kolya who was Xu Man's confidant and was still working for Ariel.

Let them leave Vegas and leave all the business that cannot be brought to the table to him, and Ariel should be satisfied.

"Who will be the new chairman?" Jonathan finally got the point.

Li Zitao raised his hand and pointed at Doris, and said easily, "Look, isn't this a ready candidate?"
