The domineering president dotes on the queen

As night fell and the lights came on, the charity dinner hosted by Vida Group kicked off in a luxury hotel in the city center. The dinner was called "Starry Night" and invited various business celebrities and big names in the entertainment industry to help children in poor areas through fundraising.

Li Jinjiang took Xiao Xidan's hand and walked into the banquet hall. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Li Jinjiang was wearing a dark suit and a neatly tied tie, which made him look formal and elegant. Xiao Xidan was wearing a red dress, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming red rose.

"Jinjiang, you look so handsome tonight." Xiao Xidan looked up at Li Jinjiang, his eyes full of love.

"You are very beautiful tonight, Xidan." Li Jinjiang responded with a smile, his eyes revealing his deep affection for her.

The two smiled at each other, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

However, this dinner party was not as peaceful as it seemed. Under the turbulent tide, a conspiracy against the Weida Group was quietly brewing.

Halfway through the dinner, a mysterious figure quietly appeared. He was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, giving off a mysterious vibe. He walked straight to the table where Li Jinjiang and Xiao Xidan were sitting.

"Mr. Li, long time no see." The mysterious man took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face.

Li Jinjiang frowned slightly. He recognized the person - it was his business rival, Zhao Mingxuan.

"Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect to meet you here." There was a hint of vigilance in Li Jinjiang's tone.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Zhao Mingxuan smiled, his eyes wandering around Xiao Xidan, "Mr. Li is so lucky to have such a beautiful partner."

Xiao Xidan felt Zhao Mingxuan's gaze and couldn't help but frowned slightly. She held Li Jinjiang's arm tightly, as if to declare her sovereignty.

Li Jinjiang sensed Xiao Xidan's nervousness and gently held her hand to comfort her. He turned to Zhao Mingxuan and said calmly, "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your compliment. I wonder what brings you here tonight?"

Zhao Mingxuan smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Jinjiang: "I heard that Weida Group is expanding its overseas market recently. I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in cooperation?"

Li Jinjiang took the business card and glanced at the information on it. He was moved, but remained calm on the surface: "Mr. Zhao is really well-informed. However, I need to consider the cooperation."

"Of course, Mr. Li can take your time to think about it." Zhao Mingxuan said, and turned his gaze to Xiao Xidan again, "Miss Xiao, I also have many friends in the entertainment industry. If you need help in the future, just let me know."

Xiao Xidan smiled slightly and responded elegantly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao. If you need it, I will consider it."

Zhao Mingxuan nodded and turned to leave. After he left, Li Jinjiang and Xiao Xidan looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes. They knew that Zhao Mingxuan's appearance was not accidental, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this dinner.

As the dinner progressed, the atmosphere became increasingly lively. On the stage, a band was playing lively music, and the guests went to the dance floor and danced to the music. However, Li Jinjiang and Xiao Xidan did not join in. They sat at a table in the corner and talked in low voices.

"What do you think is Zhao Mingxuan's purpose in coming here tonight?" Li Jinjiang asked.

Xiao Xidan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "He obviously came prepared. Not only did he show his goodwill to us, he also proposed cooperation. I guess he might want to get close to us in this way, and then find an opportunity to harm us."

Li Jinjiang nodded: "You are right. Zhao Mingxuan has always regarded me as a competitor. He would not show goodwill to us for no reason. We must be careful in dealing with it."

As the two were talking, a waiter came over with a plate of exquisite snacks in his hands.

"Dear guests, these are the special snacks made by our hotel. Please enjoy them." said the waiter with a smile.

Li Jinjiang and Xiao Xidan looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes. They did not taste the snacks immediately, but asked the waiter to put them on the table first.

At this moment, the music on the stage suddenly stopped, and a familiar voice spread throughout the banquet hall through the microphone.

"Dear guests, thank you all for coming tonight. Now, we will proceed to the fundraising portion of tonight."

Everyone returned to their seats and focused their attention on the stage. The host held a donation box and began to introduce the process and purpose of the donation.

Li Jinjiang and Xiao Xidan also returned to their seats. They did not immediately taste the snacks on the table, but instead turned their attention to the stage.

The fundraising session went smoothly and enthusiastically. Many guests generously donated money to contribute to the education of children in poor areas. However, just as the fundraising session was about to end, an accident suddenly occurred.

The chandelier above the stage suddenly shook and seemed to be about to fall down at any moment. The guests screamed in panic and ran away. Li Jinjiang reacted immediately, grabbed Xiao Xidan's hand, and quickly ran towards the exit.

However, just as they were about to run out of the banquet hall, a black figure suddenly blocked their way. Li Jinjiang looked closely and found that it was Zhao Mingxuan.

"Mr. Li, why are you so panicked? Don't you want to know who caused this accident?" Zhao Mingxuan said with a sneer.

Li Jinjiang's heart sank. He understood that this accident was probably carefully planned by Zhao Mingxuan. He held Xiao Xidan's hand tightly and looked at Zhao Mingxuan warily: "What do you want?"

"It's very simple." Zhao Mingxuan smiled, "As long as you give up your overseas market expansion plan, I can ensure that you and your female companion leave safely."

Li Jinjiang frowned. He knew that Zhao Mingxuan was threatening him. If he compromised, then Weida Group would lose an important development opportunity. However, if he did not compromise, the safety of Xiaoxidan could not be guaranteed.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he looked up at Zhao Mingxuan and said firmly, "I will not give up my plan to expand overseas markets. Moreover, I believe that the law will give me a fair judgment."

Zhao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Li Jinjiang to be so resolute. He smiled grimly: "Okay, very good. Then we'll see."

After saying that, he turned and left. Li Jinjiang and Xiao Xidan looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this struggle had just begun. And they also realized that in addition to business competition, there was a deeper conspiracy surging in the dark.
