3322 What Gift Do You Want?
Since she decided not to sue them, she wouldn’t pay more attention to it, but the Gao family had to stop bothering her. If they caused her trouble again, she wouldn’t let them go.

“Does the Gao family know it’s you?” Leng Yecheng was slightly worried.

“Unless they find a more skilled hacker to investigate it they won’t know it’s me. Maybe they will suspect that it’s related to the Leng family, but without evidence, they can’t do anything to us unless they come hard.” replied Leng Xiaoyao. She wasn’t afraid of the Gao family even if they found out, because Gao Qilu should pay for it.

“Even so, you should be careful in your business dealings. If there is any trouble, just tell me. By the way, do you often hang out with Ling Tianqi and the others?” Leng Xiaoyao asked.

Although Leng Xiaoyao personally wasn’t afraid of the Gao family, she was worried that they might target the Leng family.

As a top-notch wealthy family, the Gao family could easily deal with the Leng family, which was only a middle-class family.

If the Gao family tried to harm the Leng family, Leng Xiaoyao could handle it, but she wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“I rarely do. Without your help to bridge the gap, our relationship is still somewhat unfamiliar.” replied Leng Yecheng.

Although Ling Yecheng had some contact with Ling Tianqi and the others after the Mo family’s banquet, their relationship was still somewhat unfamiliar.

“I promised to treat them to a meal. Why don’t you go with me today? You should also socialize with them more and build good relationships. Although Ling Tianqi and the others are a bit careless now, they are also capable and loyal. So we should not only treat them as contacts but as true friends,” said Leng Xiaoyao.

The Leng family was an unimportant family. Although their network was good, it was limited compared to those of important families. Therefore, expanding their network was necessary.

As a girl, Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t always hang out with them, but she couldn’t distance herself from them either. So it was most appropriate for Leng Yecheng to socialize with them.

Leng Yecheng was only four years older than them, so it wasn’t difficult for them to be friends.

“Okay.” Leng Yecheng agreed. Regardless of whether it was in official or business circles, networking was extremely important.

Due to the low status of the Leng family, he rarely had contact with the top-tier families and their relationships weren’t close.

Leng Xiaoyao immediately called Ling Tianqi to ask if they had time for dinner. Since they had previously agreed to have a meal together, it didn’t seem too deliberate to bring Leng Yecheng along.

Ling Tianqi and his friends had jobs, but they weren’t busy so they readily accepted the invitation. In fact, they were all waiting for Leng Xiaoyao’s call.

Upon returning home, Leng Changyuan couldn’t stop smiling as he looked at Leng Xiaoyao’s trophy and certificate of honor.

“Let’s celebrate tonight,” he said.

Leng Xiaoyao was slightly embarrassed. “I’m sorry, grandpa. I’ve already invited Ling Tianqi and his friends for dinner to help Uncle Yecheng expand his network. Can we celebrate it tomorrow afternoon?”

“Humph! The first thing you think about when you come back isn’t to celebrate with your grandpa.” Leng Changyuan immediately frowned and complained unhappily.

“How about we have an early meal at home and I’ll go out later?” Leng Xiaoyao didn’t want to disappoint and upset Leng Changyuan. She regretted inviting Ling Tianqi to dinner today because she had forgotten about celebrating with her family.

“Fine. I’ll have Maid Zhang cook earlier. If you’re worried about them leaving early, let your uncle go first. It doesn’t matter if he eats at home or not,” Leng Changyuan said. It wasn’t that he wanted to make things difficult for Leng Xiaoyao, but he really wanted to celebrate with her over a meal.

As for his son, Leng Yecheng wasn’t important. After all, Leng Yecheng wasn’t the one who won the award.

Hearing that, Leng Yecheng, who was not valued, looked sad. “Dad, I’m hurt. Don’t forget I’m your son!”

“If you have the ability, bring home an award first, then I’ll reward you!” Leng Changyuan said disdainfully, then asked Leng Xiaoyao, “By the way, what gift do you want?”

“I don’t know. Grandpa, just give me a red envelope!” Leng Xiaoyao said. If Leng Changyuan bought her anything, she would be happy, but she couldn’t think of anything she wanted. She felt like that she didn’t lack anything.

“Okay, I’ll give you a red envelope,” Leng Changyuan said with a smile. Then he gave Leng Xiaoyao a red envelope containing ten thousand yuan.

For the Leng family, this was a large amount of money. After all, except for Leng Yecheng, the Leng family was just a working-class family.

Leng Yecheng originally wanted to pursue a career in politics, but because of Leng Xiaoyao’s parents’ accident, he took over the company and gave up his own career for her mother’s company.
They didn’t wait for Leng Yehua and his wife because they were having an early dinner at 5 pm.

Leng Changyuan just wanted to have a meal with Leng Xiaoyao. He knew that she had another appointment, so he didn’t make her eat too much.

After all, it didn’t look good to invite someone to dinner and not eat yourself.

In addition, Leng Xiaoyao was trying to introduce some connections to Leng Yecheng. He was so happy that he couldn’t blame her for insisting on treating her friends to a meal today.

Once they finished the meal, Leng Xiaoyao and Leng Yecheng were driven out of the house.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they bumped into Ling Tianqi and his friends outside the door.

Actually, when Leng Xiaoyao decided to have dinner with Leng Changyuan first, she had called Ling Tianqi and said that something had come up, so the dinner was postponed until 6:30 pm.

Even if it was postponed to 7:00 or 7:30 pm, they didn’t mind.

“Hi, Xiaoyao, Mr. Leng.”

Ling Tianqi and his friends greeted them warmly.

“Hi, Mr. Ling, Mr. Pei, Mr. Feng.” Leng Yecheng also greeted them.

After they entered the private room and ordered dishes, Leng Xiaoyao said frankly, “Today, I brought my uncle here because I consider you my friends and hope you can be friends with my uncle too. As you know, I’ll be taking the National College Entrance Examination soon and will go to the capital city after that. I may not feel at ease leaving my family behind, so I hope you can help me take care of them. Of course, if you need anything from me, I can do it for you and won’t be stingy.”

“Since we are friends, we are also friends with your family. If you or your family need anything from us, just let us know. Although we may not be able to handle everything perfectly, as you said, we won’t be stingy if we can do it. In fact, given your abilities, we might need you more in the future.”
