After a long while, Yuan Li gradually recovered her composure and turned her head slightly to look at Ge Dongxu beside her, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

By now, Yuan Li was well aware that this matter was beyond her control.

Zhou Xialiu and the others knew that Yuan Li didn't have the final say in this matter, and their pleas for forgiveness were essentially for Ge Dongxu's benefit. Seeing Yuan Li turn her gaze towards Ge Dongxu, they too looked at him with eyes filled with a pleading look. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

Ge Dongxu naturally disliked Zhou Xialiu and the other two, but he didn't feel the need to take revenge over such a trivial matter.

"Didn't Sister Li say that from now on, we would go our separate ways? Let's do just that. However, since you are Sister Li's classmates, let me offer you a piece of advice: don't be so opportunistic in the future. Sister Li is a person who values relationships and won't hold a grudge against you. If it were someone else, it probably wouldn't be so easy. Take care of yourselves," Ge Dongxu said after Yuan Li and her three classmates turned their expectant eyes toward him, realizing he needed to say something.

"Thank you, Mr. Ge, thank you, Yuan Li. We'll definitely not do it again, definitely not," Zhou Xialiu and the others were just waiting for this sentence from Ge Dongxu. Hearing his words, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell, and they hurriedly thanked Ge Dongxu and Yuan Li.

Ge Dongxu and Yuan Li were too lazy to bother with such people. They gave them a noncommittal glance, then called Su Qi and prepared to leave.

Although Su Qi was from the capital, she had a good relationship with Yuan Li. They had agreed that Su Qi would not go home tonight and would instead spend the night with Yuan Li at the hotel.

Seeing Ge Dongxu and Yuan Li about to leave, the branch manager Liu hurried forward and begged them desperately.

Ge Dongxu looked at Yuan Li. He wasn't familiar with the character of branch manager Liu, but felt that what Liu had done in the private room earlier was somewhat inappropriate for someone in his leadership position.

However, when he calmly considered it from another perspective, Liu's actions seemed to be a strategy to protect both himself and Yuan Li. Nonetheless, the words he spoke and his attitude had been exceptionally infuriating and frustrating.

"Dongxu, branch manager Liu has always thought highly of me. It was with his approval that I was finally promoted to the position of sub-branch manager. What do you think..." Yuan Li looked at her superior pleading in front of her, and remembered that he had indeed valued her before. In the private room, given his status at that time, it seemed that he could only force her to apologize; nonetheless, the words he said and his attitude had caused her extreme humiliation and anger.

"The Feng Family has its principles when dealing with matters. Someone like Cui Mingshuo, a degenerate, definitely needs to be dealt with. As for branch manager Liu, I think what truly decides his career is his performance at work," Ge Dongxu said, appreciating Yuan Li's forgiving and forbearing attitude, as he was a person who also believed in giving people a chance. With that, he turned to look at branch manager Liu.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely work hard in the future, I will work hard," manager Liu almost cried with joy upon hearing this, bowing continuously and nodding his head.

Seeing manager Liu almost cry with joy, Ge Dongxu suddenly felt a bit of pity for him, and his heart also filled with a sudden sternness.

If someone vengeful, upon gaining power and capabilities, were in his place, what would become of manager Liu?

Power and capabilities are a double-edged sword. Using them to deal with someone like Cui Mingshuo benefits the public, but using them to indiscriminately deal with the innocent or those who have merely slighted you is a catastrophe!

This sudden thought reminded the eighteen-year-old Ge Dongxu once again to warn himself to be a disciplined and good person.

Because he was a person with a superpower!

"Alright, you may go," Ge Dongxu's attitude towards manager Liu softened a bit due to this sudden thought, not as indifferent as before.

Ge Dongxu's change of attitude finally put Branch Manager Liu's mind at ease. After repeatedly bowing in gratitude, he left the hotel.

After Branch Manager Liu left, it wasn't long before Ge Dongxu left as well.

The reason was that he couldn't quite bear the shift in how Su Qi and others treated him—before and after his change of demeanor. Seeing him was like seeing a leader, everyone spoke tremblingly in his presence. It was less comfortable than the earlier time spent in the private room.

Upon leaving the hotel, Ge Dongxu took a car back to the courtyard house. He also made a point to tell Feng Chenqing not to mention the incident in the private room to Elder Feng, and that the matter should only be pursued as far as Cui Mingshuo, without further escalation.

Ge Dongxu's thoughts exactly aligned with those of Feng Chenqing and Feng Jiahui, which also secretly relieved them both.

...

On Sunday morning, in the first-class cabin of a plane flying to Linzhou City, Yuan Li stretched her long, beautiful legs contentedly and said with a smile, "Although I'm a branch manager, I only got to enjoy first-class thanks to you. By the way, how much was the ticket? I'll transfer the money to your account later."

"Come on, Sister Li, why are you talking about money with me? Besides, they didn't charge me for it," Ge Dongxu responded to Yuan Li, amused.

"Hehe, I almost forgot you're a young tycoon, with a net worth of several tens of millions, right?" Yuan Li whispered, leaning close to Ge Dongxu's ear with a laugh.

The tight wool sweater outlined her prominent curves, and the closeness increased the pressure, causing Ge Dongxu's heartbeat to inadvertently speed up a bit. Still, he simply smiled a little without denying it.

Last month, Qinghe Herbal Tea's sales had reached 42 million. If calculated by the solar calendar, by New Year's Day, the total annual sales might well reach 200 million. Meanwhile, Donglinyue Apparel had developed 300 direct stores and franchised specialty stores across various provinces and cities. Without any unexpected events, given this rate of development, the annual profit might not compare to Qinghe Herbal Tea, but it should be close to ten million.

These figures weren't the key point; what mattered was both Qinghe Herbal Tea and Donglinyue Apparel were growing at a frightening speed at this time.

Only the Kunting chain of franchise hotels was still in the investment phase and hadn't generated profit yet. However, given the development momentum, it was only a matter of time.

So, a few tens of millions was understating it; by next year, it wouldn't be a surprise if Ge Dongxu, a third-year high school student, had several hundred million.

Actually, given the brand value of Qinghe Herbal Tea and the Donglinyue brand, where Ge Dongxu independently owned the Qinghe Herbal Tea formula and brand, if he decided to cash out now, he could have hundreds of millions in cash in an instant.

Yuan Li wasn't aware that Ge Dongxu was also the big boss of Donglinyue Apparel now popular across Huaxia Country, nor did she know about his ongoing development of a chain of budget franchise hotels. What she knew was limited to Qinghe Herbal Tea, and even then, as a non-shareholder, she was clueless about its exact sales figures. She just saw that Qinghe Herbal Tea was selling so well and assumed Ge Dongxu's net worth must be at least ten million, which was why she made such a casual remark.

But knowing was one thing; seeing Ge Dongxu's noncommittal expression, Yuan Li opened her seductive, cherry-red lips and found herself at a loss for words for quite a while.

After a long time, even a strong woman like Yuan Li couldn't help but let her curiosity take over, leaning into Ge Dongxu's ear to whisper again, "Ten million is still several tens of millions, ninety million is also several tens of millions. I'm really curious now, just how many tens of millions do you have in net worth? Twenty million? No, no, maybe more, do you have fifty million?"
