Chapter 51 I Love Him

The news about the Chumishan project is getting wider and wider, and people from all walks of life are ready to take action, and Qiliang is in full swing.

He Qian asked Yu Honglin, who was in charge of the bidding, to meet him three times, but he only agreed once, and the result of the conversation was not satisfactory.

He Qian was Zeng Lingxiong's "predetermined" person. No matter how ambitious Yu Honglin was, he could not offend Zeng Lingxiong.

He Qian had no worries on this side, but the progress suddenly slowed down and was stuck in Wen Songjun's hands.

Several people in the President's Office are discussing this issue.

Yang Xiao arrived at the company in the afternoon. Zeng Xinyue was surprised and delighted to see him. "Wow, Assistant Yang! You've been away for two months, and you look so refreshed! Tell me, is the food in the US better? What do you eat every day?"

Song Li also went to greet him. He had only heard his voice yesterday but hadn't seen him in person. "Indeed, I haven't seen you for two months. You look so young that I can hardly recognize you!"

"Oh, I've been getting really angry lately. Seriously! Stop teasing me!" Yang Xiao touched the pimples on his face. "Hasn't the conversation inside been completed yet?"

"It's only been an hour, it's still early!" Zeng Xinyue covered her mouth and whispered to him, "As long as the Chumishan project doesn't win the bid, Manager Li and Manager Shen will have to be criticized for two hours every day!"

Every time Li Yueping and Shen Dan came out of the president's office, their hair was flying. She was terrified just thinking about that scene!

"Then I'll go in and rescue them!" Yang Xiao pretended to roll up his sleeves.

Song Li really hoped that Yang Xiao's return would dispel some of the gloom. Recently, not to mention the president's office, the atmosphere in the entire Qiliang was very depressing.

Judging from the time, the people she had an appointment with at Junlintianxia the night before should make some move tomorrow.

She thought she should have told He Qian in advance, but she never found the chance. She slept all day yesterday and didn't see him much this morning.

Du Zhanrong called her at this time. Song Li looked at the three words jumping on the screen and did not answer.

The screen went dark and then lit up again, revealing a message: I'm waiting for you in the car on the B2 floor. If you don't come down, I'll rush up and take you away!

Song Li didn't dare to make such a big fuss. If Du Zhanrong took her away here, it would be an uncontrollable torrent!

She took the elevator directly to the basement floor. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw a car flashing its lights. She recognized it as Du Zhanrong's car, and he was sitting in the driver's seat.

Song Li got into the passenger seat and said, "I can't delay for too long. I have a lot of work to do."

"How is your injury?" Du Zhanrong lowered his head to look at her neck. She had foundation on, so if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell.

"It's okay, the wound isn't deep."

"What about the wound on your waist?"

"I applied the medicine."

"Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Um."

"Song Li..."

"Boss Du!" Song Li didn't want him to continue. "I understand your concern, thank you! I came down here to tell you that, apart from work, we won't meet again!"

"Please leave A Qian, please leave him, okay? What he can give you, I can give you too!" Du Zhanrong wanted to hold her hand, but she dodged him.

After a brief silence, Song Li said, "Please don't have such thoughts again, okay?"

"What do you want from staying with him? He changes women every few months, and he doesn't care about your life or death! He can leave you on the street late at night, and he can say those words when you are kidnapped. What kind of future do you think he can give you? What exactly are you expecting from staying with him?"

Song Li turned her head to the car window, reflecting her embarrassed face.

"Ever since I returned home, Ah Qian has watched me confess my feelings for you. He never stopped me, nor did he declare that you were his woman. He was even so generous as to let you stay and take care of me... Just take this matter, and he pushed you to another man. This shows that he doesn't have you in his heart at all! Are you so willing to do this?"

"Please stop talking about that, Mr. Du! You and Mr. He have been friends since childhood, and you've even collaborated on several projects. Is it really necessary to ruin your relationship over this? Please don't come to me again and stop saying these meaningless things to me!"

"Or... are you afraid of him? Is he threatening you? Or do you have some difficulties? Tell me, I will face it with you, and we will solve it together! You don't have to worry about what will happen to Ah Qian and me in the end!" Du Zhanrong took a final gamble. He really couldn't believe that Song Li would be profit-driven and could not see his sincerity at all!

He hid at home for two days and two nights, thinking about it. Song Li couldn't be so boastful and morally corrupt as to have no bottom line! Stealing Chen's data and making his sister act crazy and stupid, there must be something he couldn't know about. He was still waiting for her explanation!

He believed whatever she said!

Song Li sneered, a laugh that even he himself found ridiculous. He knew her situation after a closer look, but she was still pretending not to struggle in the swamp! People were reaching out to her, and she was still smiling and saying she was enjoying it!

"If it's Ah Qian who's threatening you, I can talk to him and get him to let you go! Song Li, as long as you nod, I'll go talk to him! Don't worry about anything!"

"I love him." Song Li's voice was very soft.

Thirteen years later, she said these three words again.

Thirteen years ago, she said "I love you" to He Qian generously, full of vitality and happiness, even though He Qian regarded her as a little girl's first love at that time!

Thirteen years later, these three words have seriously deteriorated. She no longer dares to love, but she has to say them out loud.

A plain narrative without any ups and downs.

Du Zhanrong once saved Youran's life. She could not forget this great favor and could not put him in trouble again.

Du Zhanrong's noisy mood at this moment was like a silent mountain. He knew... he had lost, completely lost. The fact was cruel but also self-humiliating.

Song Li opened the door and got out of the car without looking back.

…

He Qian remembered that he had a schedule for tonight. It seemed that he had an appointment with Huang Yaping from the Planning Bureau, but when he confirmed with Zeng Xinyue before leaving get off work, he was told that the meeting had been cancelled and changed to tomorrow night by Song Li.

Song Li heard the internal call he made to Zeng Xinyue, so he stood up and went into the president's office.

"Is there any emergency situation on Huang Yaping's side?" He Qian asked casually without speculating too much.

Huang Yaping was Huang Qiying's daughter. Given Song Li's relationship with the Huang family, Song Li was usually the sole person to handle such matters. Huang Yaping's daughter, Cheng Nianling, was currently the person the elders were actively trying to match Du Zhanrong with.

"It wasn't canceled by her." Song Li explained.

He Qian packed his things while listening to her continue.

"I made an appointment with Yuan Daihai the night before yesterday. They should have a response tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm worried that you'll be drinking tonight and delay this matter, so I rescheduled the time with Director Huang for tomorrow night."

Yuan Daihai and Zeng Lingxiong have always been at odds. Although they do not interfere with each other's positions, the Chumishan projects are more or less closely related.

The documents submitted by Yu Honglin are now in Wen Songjun's hands, and Yuan Daihai is the only one who can order Wen Songjun around.

While everyone was ostensibly following procedures, everyone understood the constraints involved. Wen Songjun's difficulty with the review materials was Yuan Daihai's intention, and he had been engaged in a clandestine rivalry with Zeng Lingxiong for over a decade.

The people Song Li met were all people who could make a breakthrough through "Yuan Daihai".

"What will they do?"

"They didn't specify it, and they are very cautious people. But Gao Lei said that it was just a matter of going with the flow. Even if it succeeds, it will be due to Qi Liang's strength."

The implication was that even if they failed, it had nothing to do with him. Gao Lei was the one who spent all his time in front of Yuan Daihai. He knew every detail of his schedule and documents. Anyone who could survive under Yuan Daihai's watchful eye must have extraordinary abilities.

"Gao Lei, is he your classmate?" He Qian knew about this relationship and guessed from the beginning that Song Li would take this route.

Song Li agreed.

"Did he pursue you?" He Qian got up from the sofa and stood in front of her without any jealousy.

"Mr. He, are you still holding on to things from your student days? He's already had hundreds of new and old loves, and yet you're still bringing up the child's age. Doesn't that make people think that the boss of such a big company like Qiliang is so confused?"

He Qian picked up his coat, in a good mood, with a smile on his face, "Let's go! You canceled my dinner, go back and cook for me!"
