“If you continue to slander me and Mr. Deng, I will sue you for defamation according to legal procedures!”

Li Susu calmed down and seized the opportunity to counterattack Jinxi.

Jinxi, however, avoided the main issue and did not respond at all.

"The facts are right in front of me. What others think is none of my business."

“If the suburban land projects cannot be fair, then these three bidding opportunities are meaningless.”

"Why not just give it to the Li family directly? What do you all think?"

Jinxi made a couple of sarcastic remarks and then prepared to leave.

He's already started this trouble; whether this matter will continue to escalate depends on what other companies do.

After all, the Li family and other companies are competitors. If this matter can be blown up and the Li family's bidding qualification is cancelled, wouldn't that mean there is one less competitor?

Jinxi's move is harmful to others but beneficial to himself.

Since we've already fallen out with the Li family, what difference does it make if things get even worse?

The initial bidding meeting ended unhappily, and the matter quickly began to escalate online.

Just as Jinxi had hoped, many rival companies began to secretly fuel the flames.

For a time, both Li and Deng Wei were put on the hot seat.

"Mr. Deng, I will clarify this matter as soon as possible."

Deng Wei waved his hand, "This is not your fault, President Li. Let's try to have less contact lately."

Li Susu nodded, said no more, and left the venue.

At the Fu's Building, Bai Weiwei brought chicken soup she had cooked at home to visit Fu Xingzhou.

"Xingzhou, you must have been very busy these days, right? Here, have some chicken soup to nourish your body."

Bai Weiwei's real intention was to get pregnant, but before that, she needed to ease the tension in her relationship with Fu Xingzhou as soon as possible.

Bai Weiwei held Li Susu responsible for leaving her stranded in the suburbs to freeze overnight.

Although she harbored resentment towards Fu Xingzhou, she felt no hatred, and her eyes remained tender and affectionate.

What brings you here?

Fu Xingzhou simply couldn't be bothered to look at her like that, not even sparing her a glance, feeling only annoyance.

"Xingzhou, I heard that Uncle Fu has recently returned, and I was just thinking of choosing a suitable time to go and see him."

Bai Weiwei used Fu Yan as an excuse to approach Fu Xingzhou and placed the soup bowl she was holding on the desk.

"Xingzhou, don't be busy yet, have some chicken soup. I got up early this morning to stew it, and it tastes very good."

Fu Xingzhou paused for a moment before finally looking up at her.

"I don't like it, you can take it away."

"As for your request to see my father, you can just drive to the old house yourself. Anyway, you've done this kind of inappropriate thing many times before."

Fu Xingzhou's words carried a warning, causing Bai Weiwei's smile to freeze instantly.

"Xingzhou, what are you talking about? I... I'm just a junior, I haven't seen my uncle in a long time, and I wanted to pay him a visit."

"Since you're unwilling, then forget it."

Bai Weiwei's tone gradually became aggrieved, and as she glanced at Fu Xingzhou's face, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a brief silence, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

"President Fu, at the bidding meeting for the suburban land, President Li was falsely accused of obtaining inside information, and this matter has already taken hold online."
