"I'll endure it if I can." She won't be so impulsive again!

"Su Ziqing's good days are just around the corner." Su Xiaoman couldn't help but gloat. "Dad, do you know who she offended in the capital? Chief Su!"

Even someone of Chief Su's status, Su Tianming, a wealthy man in City A, had only heard of him and had no chance of getting close to him.

"Oh? How did you offend them?" Su Tianming showed great interest.

Then Su Xiaoman recounted what she had heard and said with a smile, "Miss Su is Chief Su's precious daughter, while Su Ziqing has become his sworn enemy."

"Dad, there's more good news." Su Xiaoman's eyes crinkled with laughter, as if victory was within reach. "I heard that the Gong family really dislikes Gong Chengjue and Su Ziqing being together. As long as we find an opportunity, we can add fuel to the fire..."

Just thinking about it makes me picture Su Ziqing's pitiful and miserable state.

"Good, very good." Su Tianming seemed to see the day he could be released from prison as well, and looked at Su Xiaoman with satisfaction, "You've done a great job."

Su Xiaoman laughed, then changed the subject, "Dad, you know it costs a lot of money to get in touch with the capital city's government..."

"You should cash out the two properties in the capital city that are under my name," Su Tianming said.

Su Xiaoman did the math and figured it would last for at least a while, so she smiled even more brightly, "Thank you, Dad. Just wait for us to take back the Su Group."

Selling the house to get cash wouldn't be so conspicuous and wouldn't attract the attention of Su Ziqing and Su Tianhao.

Do you think they'll just give up like that? That's incredibly naive.

As soon as Su Xiaoman left the prison, her phone rang. A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone, "Come over tonight."

Su Xiaoman paused for a moment, then said with a charming laugh, "Not tonight, I'm going back to City A."

"Aren't you very concerned about the Gong family's affairs? I heard..." The middle-aged man deliberately kept silent, just to arouse Su Xiaoman's curiosity.

It's too difficult for outsiders to find out about the Gong family's affairs; those who aren't in the same circle won't even hear a whisper of it.

When Su Xiaoman heard that it concerned the Gong family, and that it was a very important matter, she hesitated.

"Then I'll take the last flight back tonight, and you have to send someone to pick me up, okay?" she said sweetly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoman's expression turned slightly somber.

She became increasingly adept at navigating relationships with men, yet this once-proud heiress had been reduced to the status of a socialite…

She took a deep breath and waited!

……………………

Su Tianhao had a pleasant lunch with the people from the police station, and then around 3 p.m., he made plans to play golf. However, he returned to the company just before the end of the workday.

Moreover, he didn't go back to his own office, but went directly to Su Ziqing's office.

"Knock knock".

"Come in." Su Ziqing was busy with the business of the Beijing branch. Now that the company was up and running, it was important to achieve results, but she still focused on learning most of the time.

Su Ziqing knew that Su Tianhao had left the company at noon and hadn't returned in the afternoon. Of course, she also knew that he had gone to play golf with high-ranking officials.

It has to be said that Su Tianhao has been quite active in official circles lately.

Previously, Su Tianming was above him and more capable, so even if he wanted to use connections, people might not pay attention to him, the "second young master".

But things are different now. Now he's the chairman of the Su Group...

Su Ziqing looked up and saw that it was Su Tianhao. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Second Uncle?"

So, you're finally back?

An employee committed suicide at the company. Instead of staying at the company to oversee things, the chairman was busy cultivating relationships. Those who didn't know what he was doing might think he was busy with something else, but those who did knew exactly what he was busy with!

Su Tianhao looked at Su Ziqing, "Still working?"

"Yes, I still have some things to finish," Su Ziqing replied.

"Is there anything you don't understand that you need to ask your second uncle?" Su Tianhao said.

In his eyes, Su Ziqing was just someone who had climbed up to a powerful backer; she herself had no real ability.

However, he forgot one thing: for the children of the wealthy, ability is actually not as important as resources.

The most important thing is to have a discerning eye for people. We're not running a tech company, so there's no need to do everything ourselves.

Su Ziqing studies so diligently simply so that she won't be fooled by others in the future.

She closed her notebook, glanced at Su Tianhao who was still there, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Second Uncle, is there something you need?"

When Su Tianhao saw her movements, he felt that they were somewhat similar to those of Gong Chengjue.

It's true that spending a lot of time together will gradually pick up some of their habits.

He coughed lightly, "Are you done with your work?"

"Just tell me what's on your mind, Uncle." She wouldn't do anything in front of him if she wasn't finished with her work.

"It's been a long time since we've had a meal together. How about we, uncle and nephew, have dinner together tonight?"

"Just the two of us?" Su Ziqing thought to herself, if it was going to eat with his family, then so be it.

"Just the two of us."

“Okay, Uncle, you choose the location.” Su Ziqing also raised her hand to look at her watch. “I’ll probably be busy for another half hour.”

"I'll come and get you in half an hour," Su Tianhao said.

"How could I dare? I'll go find you, Second Uncle, after I'm done with my work!" Su Ziqing said with a smile, making it impossible to discern her true intentions.

Su Tianhao felt something was off about what she said.

But she had a smile on her face, as if to tell him that he was overthinking things.

He nodded. "Okay, I'll go back to my office now."

Seeing that he didn't mention the employee suicide at all, Su Ziqing casually brought it up, "Oh, by the way, Second Uncle, what do you think of what happened at the company today?"

It was as if, when she spoke of suicide, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Su Tianhao genuinely considered it a trivial matter, so although his expression became somewhat serious, Su Ziqing could still sense that he didn't care at all.

"Young people these days have such poor stress tolerance." With that one sentence, he shifted all the blame onto the deceased.

Su Ziqing gave him a deep look and reminded him, "Second Uncle, the deceased was your secretary."

“She’s not the only one in my secretary’s office. Besides, she hasn’t been in the chairman’s secretary’s office for very long.” Su Tianhao looked directly at Su Ziqing. “I don’t know what she’s thinking. Is life really that hard to accept?”

"Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking." Didn't he know?

"I'm going back to my office now." Su Tianhao left Su Ziqing's office without saying anything more.

Su Ziqing was so angry that she wanted to throw her pen away, but she held back in the end.

I opened my laptop to continue working when my phone rang.

Seeing that it was Gong Chengjue calling, she almost immediately grabbed her phone and answered it hastily, "Chengjue."

“It’s me,” Gong Chengjue replied.
