Gong Chengjue, however, seemed to still be savoring the sight of the beautiful woman he had just seen.

Su Ziqing went back to her room and didn't come out again. She even checked the door lock to make sure it was locked before she felt at ease.

But in the middle of the night, she had an indescribable dream.

When she woke up, she felt like she was being possessed. Touching her slightly flushed face, she sat up abruptly. What the hell? How could she have such a dream?

What terrified her even more was that she didn't... refuse in her dream?

Ahhh.

Her throat felt dry. She checked the time on her phone; it was four in the morning. She tiptoed out of bed and went to the kitchen to get some water.

"Can't sleep?" Gong Chengjue's voice suddenly rang out in the quiet night.

"Ah!" Su Ziqing was so startled that she almost dropped the cup in her hand.

Gong Chengjue stood there wearing a bathrobe, holding a glass of red wine.

"You're still drinking?" Su Ziqing snapped out of her daze, snatched the glass from his hand without thinking, and glared at him. "The doctor said you can't drink for now."

Gong Chengjue looked at the red wine that had just been poured and hadn't even been taken a sip yet, and said helplessly, "You really do sound like a henpecked husband."

Su Ziqing glared at him.

"If you keep staring, your eyes will pop out." He smiled slightly, looking like he was in a good mood.

She turned around, grabbed her water glass, and headed back to her room.

"Ziqing." He suddenly called her name.

Su Ziqing's body suddenly stiffened, but she pretended nothing was wrong and turned to look at him, "Hmm?"

Gong Chengjue hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Good night."

Su Ziqing took a sip of water, seemingly trying to hide something, and nodded, "Goodnight."

"Bang." The door closed softly, and Gong Chengjue sighed softly.

……………………

Su Ziqing got up early. She wasn't very clear about the procedures for the shareholders' meeting, but she would have to go to find out the details.

She wanted to see what other despicable tricks the Su family had up their sleeves.

While eating breakfast, she was slightly lost in thought.

Gong Chengjue had already eaten his fill, and Luo Jinhan helped him put on his suit jacket. "Mr. Gong, be careful."

To avoid injuring his hands, Gong Chengjue was very careful.

Hearing Luo Jinhan's words, Su Ziqing finally came to her senses. "Are you going out?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt something was off.

Of course he had to go out; he was very busy, much busier than she had imagined.

But she found that he was like a god, no matter how busy he was, everything was in perfect order.

Gong Chengjue sensed the unease in her words. "I have to go out to inspect a project this morning. It should take about an hour to finish."

After saying that, he raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and estimated the time, "I will arrive at the Su Group around ten o'clock."

"You want the Su Group?" He didn't mention that before.

Gong Chengjue gave her a deep look. "You don't want me to go?"

Su Ziqing: "..."

"But it's no use if you don't want me to go. I already have a cooperation to discuss with the Su Group." It's just that this matter didn't originally require his personal involvement, but now it's a case of using public office for private purposes.

Su Ziqing lowered her head and finished her breakfast. "What project are you discussing with the Su Group?"

Gong Chengjue walked up to her, casually raised his hand to touch her hair, and asked instead of answering, "Do you remember what I just told you?"

"Hmm." She raised her hand to swat his hand away, but she held back. "Arrive last at the appointed time. If you can avoid speaking, remain silent. If you must speak, keep it brief."

In short, the more you talk, the more you reveal your emotions and confidence.

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Gong Chengjue patted her head again.

Su Ziqing: "..." Has he rubbed her enough? It makes her feel like a puppy.

Is this kind of gesture a little too intimate?

Luo Jinhan, the third wheel, had already wisely gone outside to wait, pressing the elevator button without urging Gong Chengjue.

"Ziqing..." Gong Chengjue suddenly called her name again.

Su Ziqing looked up, but before she could utter a word, a wet, sweet kiss landed on her forehead.

"Don't be afraid," she heard him whisper.

Gong Chengjue kissed her and left, completely disregarding the impact his forehead kiss had on Su Ziqing.

She touched her forehead, as if she was still feeling the kiss.

Is it to appease or...?

When he said "don't be afraid," who was he referring to? Was it a kiss that she shouldn't be afraid of? Or was it telling her not to be afraid at the Su Group?

While she was still in a daze, her phone rang. It was Su Tianhao calling.

Su Ziqing smiled faintly and answered the phone, "Good morning, Second Uncle."

That simple greeting, "Second Uncle," and "Good morning" already say it all.

Su Tianhao, who was initially anxious, immediately felt as warm as the winter sun. "Ziqing, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Yeah, I was just about to eat." Su Ziqing lied through her teeth, looking at the breakfast she had already eaten.

She stood up and went out onto the balcony.

Compared to the warmth of the heating on inside, the cold outside on the balcony made Su Ziqing shrink back. She then pulled the French windows shut again. "Second Uncle, I agreed to what you said last night."

Without keeping Su Tianhao hanging, Su Ziqing appropriately expressed her intention to cooperate.

"Okay, okay, okay." Su Tianhao said "okay" three times in a row, then felt that he was being too eager, so he coughed and adopted the serious posture of an elder, "We are only doing this to fulfill the old man's will."

"Yes, that's right."

"See you at the company then." Su Tianhao hung up the phone.

……………………

Located in the CBD of City A, the Su Group, under the wise leadership of Su Shilin, holds a very high position in City A.

Like many companies in China, the Su Group caught the wave of rapid growth in the real estate market, and its output value reached an unprecedented level the year before last.

However, due to last year's policy reforms, coupled with the successive incidents involving two real estate companies under the Su Group, Su's output value has evaporated considerably this year.

Su Ziqing left in a bodyguard's car. She had specially changed into a professional suit and tied her hair up, trying to make herself look a little more capable.

She practiced her aloof expression in front of the mirror for a long time before finally going out with that look on her face.

She is about to face a group of old foxes, and ruthless old foxes at that.

To test Su Tianming's ruthlessness, she had her bodyguard drive her car to the Su Group first.

The car she was in belonged to Gong Chengjue.

Before she even arrived at the Su Group, she received a call from her bodyguard; her car had indeed been in an accident…

Well, although no one was hurt, the other party didn't openly brandish a gun like they did in Switzerland.

This action seems more like a warning, or perhaps a way to buy time.

but!

Su Ziqing felt more confident.
