Su Tiantian said, "Yes, Mr. Lai and Mrs. Lai are childhood sweethearts. But no matter how strong-willed Mrs. Lai is, she's still a woman and sometimes she gets suspicious. She's met everyone in the company, from managers to assistants to secretaries. I once ran into Shishi when she was lost. Because of Shishi, Mrs. Lai had a good impression of me and was willing to give me a chance."

Liu Jingze said: "Then why is Gu Yiyuan so special to you?"

Su Tiantian found Liu Jingze's jealousy amusing: "I thought you wouldn't ask."

Liu Jingze pretended to be a bit casual and said, "I didn't want to ask, but now that it's open, I'll just ask. I'm a man, and I know clearly that the way he looks at you is not the kind of love between a man and a woman."

Su Tiantian said, "He calls Mr. Lai "Lai Si Ge." He and Mr. Lai are of the same generation, but Mr. Lai is twelve years older than him. What's the reason?"

Liu Jingze said: "His parents had a son in their old age."

Su Tiantian said, "The Gu family used to have a young lady who passed away. Gu Yiyuan said I was a bit like his sister, not in appearance, but in personality, in my attitude towards him, and in my support. When he first came to the company, he was a big guy and didn't reveal his background, so he actually received a lot of unfriendly discrimination."

Liu Jingze said: "Sincerity for sincerity, I understand, it's similar to me and Ah Hui."

Su Tiantian exclaimed: "What do you mean by almost the same? It's very different. I've only known Gu Yiyuan for a year, and you've known Ah Hui for ten years. How much time have you spent together? It's almost as much as the time I've spent with you."

Liu Jingze was so angry that he laughed: "Knowing each other for ten years doesn't mean being together for ten years. Sister Tiantian, I have known you for almost thirty years, but we haven't been together for thirty years. You can't calculate it that way. You are so jealous for no reason."

Su Tiantian restrained herself from laughing out loud. The angry and anxious Liu Jingze was really cute, so she deliberately pouted and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you think I should do about my work?"

Liu Jingze said seriously: "Sister Tiantian, I told you that I respect your decision. You don't have to worry too much. I am your backup plan."

Su Tiantian easily broke free from Liu Jingze's arms and turned around to sit on Liu Jingze's lap. Liu Jingze naturally held her in his arms. Even though Su Tiantian was not wearing a short skirt, he was still moved. His eyes, full of love and indulgence, just stared at Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian looked worried. "I can see that Gu Yiyuan seems quite confident today. Is it possible that he wants to sell the 22 mu of land at home?"

Liu Jingze wasn't surprised at all. "They're all smart people. Gu Yiyuan is indeed not simple. The Liu family does need funds. The land purchase payment for Jingyang Logistics Park must be paid in full within a year according to the contract. Although it can be used as a bank mortgage in the future, the money required in the early stage is indeed not small."

Su Tiantian spoke anxiously, trying to calm herself down before asking, "Is it a big difference? If you're not comfortable talking about it, then don't talk about it."

Liu Jingze said, "We've already paid the 20% deposit, and the 30% land transfer price will be paid in full within 30 days. We're all prepared, but now we have to pay the balance within a year. We also need to start construction on the warehouse and office building, which is a lot of money. It's not that we can't afford it, but it takes time to turn around."

Su Tiantian said: "Developing a project requires a large initial investment. In the case of Jingyang Logistics Park, it will be difficult to make a profit within two years. Only after it is officially put into operation can there be a profit."

Liu Jingze said, "Yes, the income from Feishang Logistics, the farm, the factory, the shops, etc. will probably be invested in the logistics park. Dad and his team are going on a business trip this time to actually sell some of their shares in Feishang Logistics. What I'm telling you must be kept confidential, not even to my father-in-law."

Su Tiantian said, "Brother Jing, thank you for trusting me. I know that public and private matters cannot be mixed up. I know what should be said and what should not be done. Besides, I am your Mrs. Liu and I stand on your side."

Liu Jingze said, "Let the three men of our Liu family handle these matters. Sister Tiantian, just make the decision on your job. I support you, so you don't have to worry. Funding for the Liu family isn't a problem for now, but we may have to sell that piece of land. The Guo family is interested in selling it, and the Ren family probably wants to as well."

Su Tiantian said: "Why does the Ren family suddenly want to sell?"

Liu Jingze's expression remained calm. "That's how business works. Dinghui Company wants to expand, and so do everyone else. My uncle's business has also expanded beyond just aquatic products, so they need more capital. We won't be selling for now. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Su Tiantian pressed herself against Liu Jingze's chest, playing with the slender fingers that were wrapped around her waist. She said, "Brother Jing, another reason I want to come back to work is that Dad had surgery last time and my godfather got sick a few days ago. I feel like it's better to be closer to home."

Liu Jingze looked as if he had expected this. "I knew there was a reason for this. It's to take care of your family nearby. If you can't continue with this job as Deputy Financial Director, find another one, or come back home to help out. Sister Tiantian, I want to be closer to you."

Su Tiantian said, "Brother Jing, I also want to be closer to you. I'll go back tomorrow and reply to Mr. Gu and Mr. Lai. They said I can sign the Dinghui contract first and then resign. This will give me some protection. By the way, should I tell your father and my father about my work when I come back?"

Liu Jingze said, "Don't you know who they are? They will definitely stick to your decision."

Su Tiantian's expression suddenly became a little dejected, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed heartache. "Actually, your father not only told me about you and Jiang Sihui, but also about the past after Liu Bo Niang passed away. He said that you had suffered a lot and asked me to treat you well in the future."

When Liu Jingze heard this, his face changed. He hugged Su Tiantian's waist and put her on the bed, then turned around and got out of bed.

Su Tiantian was stunned for a moment and quickly hugged Liu Jingze's waist from behind. At this time, Liu Jingze was standing beside the bed, and Su Tiantian was kneeling behind him. She put her face on his back and hugged him tightly. It was obviously an ambiguous scene, but there was some sadness on their faces.
