Li Xiujun just hung up the phone.

Suddenly, the tinkling sound was heard again in the hotel.

Li Xiujun ran over, thinking that Gu Qingming wanted to talk to her again.

"What's wrong? Have you finished dealing with what happened just now?"

The voice that came from the other side was not Gu Qingming's, but Zhang Sufen's apologetic voice.

"Xiujun, it's me. I called you today specifically to apologize!"

Before at the beach, she never had the chance to talk to Li Xiujun.

This time it finally calmed down and she was able to talk about it.

Li Xiujun didn't care.

Zhang Sufen and Chu Jie are actually quite compatible.

"I'm really not angry," Li Xiujun and Zhang Sufen emphasized. "You don't have to call me specifically to apologize."

"Sufen, we are equal at all times."

Even though Li Xiujun could see that Zhang Sufen had always felt a little inferior because of her family conditions.

"I....."

"But I really want to apologize to you."

If Zhang Sufen didn't say these words, she would feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

Li Xiujun respected Zhang Sufen and listened carefully on the phone.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Zhang Sufen paused for a second, "The reason I didn't act with you before was actually because I wanted to be with Chu Jie."

"But it's not what you think. I'm Chu Jie's assistant. He pays me a salary that's much higher than what I get outside. I can earn a lot of money."

"So I've been lying to you all this time. I'm sorry!"

Li Xiujun had never thought of this statement.

She asked doubtfully, "Aren't you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Only then did Zhang Sufen think of this matter.

She knew all along that this was a lie.

She didn't answer directly.

"That has nothing to do with it."

Li Xiujun politely didn't ask any more questions.

"I see! But you should tell everyone about this. We are not stingy people, and this is originally your own business."

"There's no need to lie."

"Of course I do."

It was because Zhang Sufen thought it through that she realized how stupid her actions were.

"You forgive me, then?" she asked cautiously.

Li Xiujun rubbed her brows and said, "I have never been angry with you from the beginning to the end."

"It's just that you might need to talk to Shirayuki."

Qin Baixue cares a lot about this matter.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have not spoken to Zhang Sufen for several days.

"I see!"

Zhang Sufen finally talked it out with Li Xiujun, and the oppressive feeling in her heart dissipated a lot.

After hanging up the phone, she called Qin Baixue.

But all that came from the other side was an endless beeping sound.

Qin Baixue never answered Zhang Sufen's call.

In the dormitory, Chu Jie was packing his things in a hurry.

He heard through the grapevine that things were very hot in the west.

Since he wants to continue working in the archaeological industry.

He must go this time!

If you are lucky, you might be able to join a project team.

Zhang Sufen stood at the door and said, "I want to go with you."

Chu Jie chose to refuse this time.

"It's very dangerous there. If you go there, I won't be able to protect you."

"But I'm your assistant."

Zhang Sufen said yes very firmly.

Chu Jie had already picked up his backpack. "The matter of the assistant is another matter. I can protect myself. You don't have to follow me."

"But you're more my boyfriend."

Zhang Sufen didn't want Chu Jie to take the risk alone, so she decided to follow him.

Chu Jie looked at her determined eyes and finally had no choice but to refuse.

Gu Qingming received the news in the office.

"Brother, why did you call me?"

From the other side came the usual hum of an airport.

Brother Gu Qingming said, "The factory's order is going very smoothly this time. We are escorting the equipment back to China today. We will be back in a week."

The Gu family’s move this time is not small.

They had already spotted the trend, bought equipment in advance, and were just waiting for the boom in a few years.

But to avoid suspicion.

So he could only deceive everyone by using the excuse that the whole family was traveling abroad.

Now that the equipment has been purchased, it is time for them to return home.

"That's wonderful."

Gu Qingming had never been so happy.

Firstly, my family can come back, and secondly, I am worried that I don’t have time to go to the west.

Gu Qingming's elder brother looked puzzled.

"Why are you so happy?"

Gu Qingming smiled slightly, "You'll know when you come back. I have arranged a good task for you."

"That won't do..."

Gu Qingming couldn't bear to be rejected by the other party and immediately hung up the phone.

He then called in his assistant.

"Do we have any business in the west lately?"

"Yes!" The assistant handed over the folder. "There used to be a mine there, but the owner didn't have the equipment and hasn't received the qualification yet, so he wants to sell it abroad."

“But boss, you didn’t approve of this project before…”

He looked forward tentatively.

Gu Qingming took the folder.

"It's a good project. Prepare for it. I'm going on a business trip in three days."

"Mr. Gu is so straightforward."

The assistant was stunned.

Gu Qingming raised the corner of his lips, "Such a good project, how can I not go?"

The assistant frowned slightly and said boldly, "If I'm not mistaken, it has something to do with the young lady!"
