Why can't she remember what she said to him?

However, being sensible, she didn't ask such a question. Instead, she stood aside with a slight smile, seemingly acknowledging that it was all her doing.

Upon hearing this, Su Tianhao's doubts were completely dispelled. "I see."

He took the contract and showed the details to the supervisor who was in charge of the matter.

Not letting his guard down despite the ease with which the cooperation was reached, Gong Chengjue gently raised his hand and picked up the coffee cup beside him...

"Let me pour you a glass of hot water," Su Ziqing said without thinking, then stood up and walked out.

While getting hot water in the break room, she texted Gong Chengjue, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

No reply.

"Was this collaborative project something you originally planned to do?"

No reply.

Su Ziqing waited in the tea room for two or three minutes but Gong Chengjue didn't reply to her WeChat message, so she took the hot water back to Su Tianhao's office.

Su Tianhao had already signed his name with a flourish.

No one knows what Gong Chengjue said to him, but he smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Mr. Gong."

Take care of? Take care of what?

Su Ziqing placed the hot water in front of Gong Chengjue, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Gong Chengjue, however, did not offer any explanation.

“Now that things have been settled, Ziqing, come with me,” Gong Chengjue said.

Su Ziqing looked at him and nodded, "Okay." She still had some questions she wanted to ask him.

Su Tianhao didn't try to stop her, but instead made another appointment with Su Ziqing, saying, "Come home for dinner when you have time."

Su Ziqing lowered her eyes and forced a smile, "Second Uncle is joking."

“If you mind them, then let’s eat at Uncle’s house. We’re family, Ziqing,” Su Tianhao said.

A family? What family? Their skill in changing their tune with the wind is truly exceptional.

Su Ziqing nodded, "Okay."

"Then... shall I see Mr. Gong off?" Su Tianhao smiled at Gong Chengjue, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that he was acting like a father-in-law.

Gong Chengjue nodded.

Su Ziqing was increasingly confused about what Gong Chengjue was trying to tell her.

After Su Tianhao saw Gong Chengjue out of his office and watched them enter the elevator, the people inside the Su Group learned that today's shareholders' meeting had not gone smoothly. Mr. Su and Mr. Su had broken up, and Ms. Su had parachuted into the company with a powerful backer...

What a grand drama about a wealthy family!

Once inside the elevator, Su Ziqing couldn't wait to ask Gong Chengjue, "What are you up to?"

"Hmm?" Gong Chengjue raised his eyes slightly.

"You said you were going to discuss a project, but I haven't seen you discuss it at all." She initially thought he was just making an excuse to come over.

But I never expected that the contract would be signed like this.

These projects are always calculated in terms of investment of hundreds of millions, aren't they?

They really think they're throwing money away.

“There’s no need to talk,” Gong Chengjue said, looking at her. “I just need to choose between the two companies.”

Do you really think he's rich and stupid?

The project's initial stages were handled by the people below.

"So you were originally planning to choose the Su family?" She blinked.

"no."

Before she could ask anything, she heard him say, "I will adjust my decision based on how your talks with Su Tianhao go, and clearly, you and he have reached an agreement."

Su Ziqing was slightly taken aback. She hadn't told him that she and Su Tianhao had reached an agreement, so how did he know?

The elevator arrived just then, and as the doors opened, he gentlemanly gestured for her to step out first.

Although the gesture was subtle, it touched Su Ziqing deeply.

How do you know I've reached an agreement with him?

"Look at your expression."

That makes it sound like the two of them have an amazing chemistry.

"What if we can't reach an agreement?" she pressed, her curiosity piqued.

Gong Chengjue, however, did not intend to answer her curiosity, and only said, "Of course there are ways that haven't been agreed upon."

"Su Ziqing!" Su Xiaoman was waiting for the elevator. As soon as she saw Su Ziqing, she didn't even notice the person next to her. She rushed forward angrily and raised her hand to slap Su Ziqing.

Luo Jinhan swiftly intercepted her, grabbing Su Xiaoman's wrist with considerable force.

"You jinx!" Su Xiaoman struggled, but couldn't break free from his grasp.

"Let me go!" Su Xiaoman was furious, wishing she could tear Su Ziqing to pieces.

Her engagement to Auchan is about to fall through, all because of that jinx, Su Ziqing.

She just went to the hospital for a checkup and confirmed that she is pregnant.

But... her mother actually told her that she wanted to abort the child.

No, she won't abort it.

She came to the company seeking help from her father, but she never expected to see Su Ziqing here.

Looking at Su Xiaoman's crazy appearance, Su Ziqing wondered if she was sick, wanting to slap people whenever she saw them.

"Jinhan, let her go." There are people coming and going here, and she doesn't want people to think that Gong Chengjue's people are bullying the 'weak'.

Luo Jinhan then released Su Xiaoman, but if Su Xiaoman wanted to make a move, she would be completely crushed and wouldn't even have time to fight back.

Su Xiaoman then noticed Gong Chengjue standing next to Su Ziqing.

Gong, Gong Chengjue?

Why is he here again?

Because of his words, Auchan's project fell through, and Auchan was angry with her, no longer answering her calls. The Auchan family even stated directly that there was never any real marriage agreement between the two families...

“Mr. Gong,” Su Xiaoman looked at Gong Chengjue, “Don’t be fooled by her seemingly frail and innocent appearance. She’s actually a woman skilled at disguise!”

Gong Chengjue disliked the woman in front of him, especially when he heard her chattering.

"I love her no matter what." Pretending? What does that have to do with her?

Su Xiaoman paused for a moment, "Mr. Gong, she..."

"Su Xiaoman." Su Ziqing thought Su Xiaoman was lacking in intelligence. Hadn't she learned her lesson from the banquet last time?

Speaking ill of her to her face, do you really think everyone is like that scumbag Ou Shang?

Do you really think you'll believe something just because someone says a few words of provocation?

"You already said that last time, is it meaningful?" Su Ziqing sneered.

After saying that, she looked at Gong Chengjue and said, "Let's go." She didn't care about saving face outside, but here, she didn't want to embarrass the old man.

Even though my grandfather has passed away.

As Su Xiaoman watched Su Ziqing about to leave, she suddenly burst into tears, crying, "Su Ziqing, why, why can't you ever bear to see me happy?"

Su Ziqing frowned.

This is the elevator; people come and go.

When Su Xiaoman started crying, everyone turned to look in their direction.

“When Grandpa was alive, you pretended to be innocent and bullied me, making me take the blame. You couldn’t stand to see me doing well since I was a child…” Su Xiaoman made one accusation after another.

"I can't stand to see you doing well?" Su Ziqing stopped and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. Her skill in distorting the truth really hasn't diminished at all.
