Fu Xingzhou remained expressionless, completely ignoring Li Susu.

Li Susu's smile froze. Men's hearts are so fickle; in just one day, they've turned their backs on her.

She sneered inwardly, silently criticizing herself, but maintained a smile on her face.

"Mr. Fu, my car broke down. Could you give me a ride?"

This reason was rather clumsy. Last time it was a genuine accident, but this time, Fu Xingzhou knew it was just an excuse as soon as he heard it.

He didn't respond, so Li Susu took it as a yes and opened the car door and got in.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief once her bottom touched the seat.

Since she's already up here, Fu Xingzhou certainly won't be so petty as to kick her off.

On the way to the company, I can ask Fu Xingzhou for help.

Li Susu had planned it very well, but Fu Xingzhou kept a cold face and looked unapproachable, which was quite intimidating.

"Let's drive."

The driver responded, stepped on the gas, and the car quickly left Haoluyuan.

Li Susu immediately handed over the prepared proposal from her bag, her face full of flattery.

"This is the plan I revised overnight. I have already budgeted it out. As long as Yu Xin agrees to this cooperation, the benefits will be considerable."

"Since you can solve the Li family's urgent problem, Mr. Fu wouldn't want his partner to have any financial difficulties, would he?"

The first tactic is to use someone else's strength against them, directly elevating the issue of interests to the level of a partner, implying that if this cooperation fails, it will affect the cooperation on the HE patent project.

This move wasn't particularly clever, because Fu Xingzhou wasn't a businessman driven solely by profit.

He didn't even glance at it, and simply threw the document back.

"If the Li family is unable to resolve its internal problems, I can consider partnering with another company."

Li Susu's face stiffened, and she thought to herself, "I'm doomed."

"I was just kidding."

Fu Xingzhou glanced at her and said, "I advise you not to waste your energy. I'm not familiar with Yu Xin and can't help you at all."

Li Susu gritted her teeth, not caring about anything else.

"Xingzhou, are you really going to stand by and watch someone die?"

Her sudden change in address surprised Fu Xingzhou.

"I really need this opportunity to collaborate. Can you help me?"

Li Susu's eyes quickly became misty, and her pitiful appearance made Fu Xingzhou somewhat unable to resist.

This was Li Susu's trump card; she'd heard that men couldn't resist a woman's coquettishness, pitifulness, and act of weakness.

The secret to the success of green tea and white lotus lies in this.

Sure enough, Fu Xingzhou's expression softened, indicating that the tactic had worked.

Li Susu pressed on, moving closer to Fu Xingzhou.

"Xingzhou, I really have no other choice."

As Xingzhou's name echoed in his ears, Fu Xingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and a surge of heat rose in his lower abdomen.

"Li Susu, why should I help you?"

She said it herself, that she didn't like herself and was rejecting him at every turn.

Why should he continue to cling to her?

Looking at the face so close to hers, Li Susu acted impulsively and kissed him directly.

It made a "smack" sound, accompanied by a slight noise.

Li Susu's face immediately turned bright red, and she felt like slapping herself.

Beauty can bewitch people! It can cloud one's judgment!

Fu Xingzhou stiffened, his eyes darkened, and he reached out and pulled Li Susu close, fiercely kissing her red lips.
