He turned and approached the window, looking at the scenery outside, his eyes gradually hardening with determination.
He can finally do what he wants to do. He will work hard to narrow the gap between them before taking the next step.
"Yes, that's right, the flight is next Tuesday."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Shengyi's tone became noticeably more excited, "Then I'll pick you up at the airport..."
"No need, you go ahead with your work. I'll come find you after I'm done."
After all, he's a man, and so much older than Shengyi; he can't always let the young girl be the one to take the initiative.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in Kyoto!"
...
Just as Xu Yanshu was about to formally bid farewell to Huang Dongsheng, he received a call from the latter, inviting him to taste a new red wine.
"I've noticed that Xie Huanyu hasn't made any moves, so it seems she doesn't intend to bail out Xie Junyang."
"It's one thing to talk about others, but for a biological daughter to remain indifferent at a time like this, isn't that a bit illogical?" Huang Dongsheng said to himself, nodding thoughtfully before finally looking up at Xu Yanshu across from him.
Sensing the probing tone in those words, Xu Yanshu's eyes darkened, and he spoke meaningfully,
Even tigers don't eat their cubs; some people are worse than animals.
Huang Dongsheng was no ordinary man; he immediately understood the implied meaning in those words, and his expression changed drastically. "You mean?"
“Yes, I only discovered it recently,” Xu Yanshu nodded firmly, speaking very cautiously. “In order to completely control the other party, Xie Junyang occasionally resorts to private punishment. I guess Xie Huanyu probably doesn’t want to bail people out because of this.”
Sincerity is required for any act of seeking refuge, especially in situations like now where there is no shared interest as a bond.
Having worked for the Xie family for so many years, it would be hard to believe that I knew nothing about the inside story.
Xu Yanshu secretly weighed the pros and cons, but he would never mention that the fact that things were going so quickly was because Xie Huanyu was pushing things along behind the scenes.
He wouldn't even spare his own daughter; Xie Junyang is just too much of a beast!
Huang Dongsheng's expression visibly turned serious. He shook his head meaningfully, once again thankful that he hadn't dragged things out this time, otherwise he might have been bitten back by the other party one day.
Although people who have been in the business world for many years may have some tricks up their sleeves, they should still have some bottom line.
Xie Junyang's style of doing things is simply outrageous...
Huang Dongsheng said with a sigh, "If that's really the case, then it's understandable that Xie Huanyu would choose to protect herself at this time. Or perhaps she's been waiting for this day all along."
When this question was brought up, Xu Yanshu suddenly recalled the fear that Xie Huanyu had shown on her face when he asked about the basement earlier, and his eyes inadvertently became complicated.
The dazzling array of flowers was overwhelming. He had always thought that Xie Huanyu was a pampered princess since childhood, but now it seemed that this perception was completely wrong. The torment she suffered in the Xie family was probably no less than what he had experienced.
Seeing this, Huang Dongsheng asked with great interest, "What's wrong? Could it be that you still have feelings for that girl...?"
"You've misunderstood," Xu Yanshu said with a wry smile, not expecting such a misunderstanding. "I just think that people's hearts are quite complicated, and sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth."
Huang Dongsheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, even though I've known Xie Junyang for so many years, I never realized he was so ruthless."
That topic was considered closed, and the two chatted for a few more minutes, joking around. Huang Dongsheng inevitably brought up the topic of starting a business again.
"Well, I plan to go and check out the venue first, and then I'll officially set off once the formalities are almost complete."
"And I've come today to say goodbye, and thank you for your care during this time."
Huang Dongsheng nodded as if he understood, and raised the wine glass in his hand to the person opposite him, "Compared to Kyoto, Chengdu does have a better prospect for development. I look forward to you making great strides there."
Thankfully, the other party didn't press the matter further, and Xu Yanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He readily picked up the glass of red wine beside him, the stemmed glass clinking crisply in mid-air.
"Then I will accept your kind words."
