The private room was very quiet. Li Qianxue sat there with a unpleasant expression on her face.
She realized something. In the end, Su Chenghui’s actions today had affected her.
Whether it was the kiss that stopped at the first touch or him subsequently bringing her here.
Not only did she not resist, but she even seemed to have followed Su Chenghui here?
Li Qianxue, are you crazy? Have you really forgotten everything that happened to you? Have you really forgotten how you lived for the past twenty years?
How could you forget? How could you forget?
“What’s wrong?” Su Chenghui noticed that Li Qianxue’s expression was not very good. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Li Qianxue.
“Try the tea here. It tastes pretty good.”
Li Qianxue looked at the steaming tea in front of her. She stood up from the tatami and planned to leave.
“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui didn’t understand what had happened. He also didn’t understand why Li Qianxue’s expression had changed again.
Li Qianxue’s footsteps were a little fast. She naturally couldn’t eat the food in front of her. Just as she opened the sliding door outside, the waiter happened to make a sliding gesture outside.
Behind the waiter were a few waiters holding trays.
“Qianxue, what’s the matter? Let’s eat first.”
Su Chenghui stood up and reached out to pull Li Qianxue’s hand. Li Qianxue pushed his hand away and took a step to the side.
It was at this step that the door was opened. The waiters filed in and started serving the dishes.
“The sashimi here is really good. You’ll know after you taste it.”
“I don’t want to eat anymore.” Compared to eating, Li Qianxue didn’t want to see Su Chenghui even more.
The waiter placed the food on the tray on the table and then left very quietly.
Su Chenghui took a step forward and blocked Li Qianxue, who wanted to leave. “Do you not want to eat, or do you not want to see me?”
“I’m glad that you have such foresight. I really don’t want to see you.”
Li Qianxue’s voice was not without mockery. Su Chenghui did not get angry when he heard that. His expression did not even change. “Okay, if you don’t want to see me, then let’s go eat. I’ll send you home after eating.”
“Su Chenghui, do you not understand human language? I said I don’t want to see you.”
“I know. After you’ve eaten, when you go home, you don’t have to see me anymore.”
As Su Chenghui spoke, he held her hand and returned to the tatami once again.
“Su Chenghui –”
“Regarding the City Star Project, I have some more ideas after coming back from my business trip. Since I’m free today, let’s have an exchange.”
Li Qianxue stood still, and her expression finally changed. “What are you doing? Do you think that I will be soft-hearted?”
“I didn’t say that. I just wanted to tell you what I think. Or do you not want to know?”
Li Qianxue was convinced by Su Chenghui in the end. She sat down again.
Su Chenghui did not show a smug smile because she stayed. He very diligently rearranged the tableware for Li Qianxue and then placed the chopsticks in front of Li Qianxue.
“Try it. It’s really delicious.”
Li Qianxue looked at the chopsticks that he handed over and finally took it. “Didn’t you say that City Star…”
“Qianxue, even if you have something you want to know, you have to let me eat first, right?” Su Chenghui smiled. “I’m really hungry.”
When he said this, Li Qianxue did not speak again. She ate quietly.
After the food entered his mouth, he realized that Su Chenghui had introduced it well. The fish slices here were indeed very delicious.
The meal was eaten very quietly. Li Qianxue forced herself to focus on the food instead of looking at Su Chenghui.
After the meal, Su Chenghui did not say anything about the City Star Project.
When Li Qianxue was about to lose her patience, Su Chenghui spoke.
The first sentence was, “Qianxue, how far do you want the City Star Project to go?”
How far could the City Star Project go?
Li Qianxue might be capricious, and she might hate Su Chenghui, but she would never joke about business.
Waiting for Su Chenghui’s new idea, she sat there without moving.
Time passed by like this for half an hour. Li Qianxue originally wanted to leave, but now, she was completely quiet.
She looked at Su Chenghui, and had to admit that this person was talented in the field of work.
“It’s a very good idea.”
“Yeah, I think it’s good too.” Su Chenghui nodded and looked at Li Qianxue. “Then let’s work together from now on.”
Work hard together? Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui. In the end, she did not refute his words. There was a familiar feeling that she had not felt for a long time.
It was as if she had returned to the days of the past, when she and Su Chenghui worked hard together.
At that time, even if there was no love, they would —
Retracting her thoughts, Li Qianxue refused to think about it again. Some things were already different.
..
In the following period of time, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui both started to get busy.
Su Chenghui’s company’s performance was booming. His work wasn’t easy.
Li Qianxue was much busier than him. The two of them were busy with their own things, but their communication did not decrease.
Su Chenghui would come to the Li Corporation to find Li Qianxue and tell her about the City Star Project. Not only did the two of them have to discuss the matter of the City Star Project, but occasionally, if Li Qianxue encountered any official matters, Su Chenghui would also give his opinion.
He had worked for the Li Corporation for so long, so he had a detailed understanding of the Li Corporation, its employees, and even the people who had dealings with the Li Corporation.
Even if Li Qianxue did not want to admit it, some of his ideas were useful to him.
The City Star Project was proceeding in an orderly manner under such circumstances. Li Qianxue would occasionally go to the construction site to inspect it.
It wasn’t like the Li Corporation had never built a larger-scale building before, but this one was especially different.
Li Qianxue didn’t think about why it was different. She just wanted to try her best to do this project to the best of her ability.
..
Su Chenghui closed the blueprint in his hand and looked away from the building in front of him.
After putting away the blueprint, he was about to leave when he heard footsteps behind him.
“President Su.”
“Yes.” Su Chenghui looked at the person who came. It was his secretary, Qiao Ran.
“President Su, I’ve already found out about the matter you asked me to investigate last time.”
“What?”
“It’s about the Luo family.” Qiao Ran didn’t seem to understand why Su Chenghui didn’t seem to remember it.
It was not that Su Chenghui did not remember, but it was because he had spent a lot of effort in the past few days to get Li Qianxue to pay more attention to him. He was so happy that he naturally forgot about a small figure like Luo Cheng.
“Yes, what’s the situation? Tell me.” Su Chenghui followed Qiao Ran to his car. Qiao Ran followed behind him and did not stop reporting.
“Luo Cheng and Luo Ming used to run Luoxing Market together. Later, Luo Ming’s wife offended President Huo, so President Huo acquired Luoxing Market in the past two years.
The two brothers decided to use their connections to do something, but Luo Ming and Luo Cheng had a disagreement. Luo Ming thought that they should start running Luoxing Market again. After all, they still had their original foundation, but Luo Cheng didn’t agree.”
At this moment, Su Chenghui suddenly tapped his knee and asked, “Why didn’t he agree?”
“Luo Cheng may not be famous, but he still has some tricks up his sleeve. He likes to take risks and is impulsive. Although he’s old, he’s more passionate. He thought that since Huo Jinyao didn’t go against them, it’s naturally a chance for him to show his skills and start over in Lin City.”
“Yeah, that’s it?” It was that simple?
“Yeah, it’s that simple. But I also asked about another situation. I think that’s the reason Luo Cheng took over.”
“What?”
“Luo Cheng seems to have come up with a pretty good plan. He said he wants to stay away from Luo Ming. I think he wants to see how far he can go without the Luo family, right?”
Qiao Ran didn’t say the rest, but Su Chenghui understood what he meant. “Are you trying to say that he wants to find Qianxue to invest in him?”
“It’s possible. After all, the Li family is now the biggest investor in Lin City.”
He was also the most confident investor.
Qiao Ran said that there wasn’t a big problem, and the rest of the situation made sense. However, Su Chenghui still believed in another thing.
Other than official business, Luo Cheng probably had other desires for Li Qianxue, just like him.
If he succeeded, then Luo Cheng would get an investment. If he didn’t succeed, then Luo Cheng could use this opportunity to get close to Li Qianxue.
No matter which one it was, he wouldn’t suffer a loss. Su Chenghui’s facial expression was a little ugly. From the looks of it, he really had a good plan.
“President Su?”
“Let’s go. Let’s go back first.” Su Chenghui knew that he had no right to stop Luo Cheng’s actions, but he was not happy. He was very unhappy.
Luo Cheng —
“President Su?”
Qiao Ran got into the car and found Su Chenghui in a daze. He called out to him with some concern.
Su Chenghui came back to his senses and looked at the street scene outside the car window. “Don’t go back to the company. Go to the Li Corporation.”
..
Li Qianxue closed the documents in front of her and tidied up her things. Yang Rong’s voice was heard outside. She said that Luo Cheng was visiting.
It had been almost a week since Luo Cheng had bid for the jade and said that he would give it to her.
Li Qianxue had forgotten to get people to investigate Luo Cheng’s difficulties because she was busy with the company.
After thinking for a while, Li Qianxue let him in.
“President Luo, what’s the matter?”
Luo Cheng entered the door. The smile on his face was very decent and sincere. “Can’t I come to find you if I have nothing to do?”
Seeing that Li Qianxue’s expression was not very good, he sensed that she could not quite accept such a joke. He raised his hand. “Alright, there is indeed something I need to find you for.”
Li Qianxue’s expression relaxed a little. She had already guessed that Luo Cheng had something to ask of her when Luo Cheng had given her a generous gift.
But now that he had come up to her directly, she was relieved. At least she didn’t have to worry about guessing what he wanted to do.
She asked her secretary to pour two cups of tea and looked at Luo Cheng. “Do you mind drinking tea?”
From Luo Cheng’s gaze, she believed that he didn’t come to drink tea today.
