Chen Xu didn't expect that the first person to speak up for him was Dong Siqing, but he still followed the girl's words and wanted to politely refuse.
"Well, Siqing is right. My body hasn't recovered yet, so it seems I can't take on this important task. Besides, the cooperation project between the group and AX has just stabilized, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with. Otherwise, let Siqing do it first."
"It's okay. You don't just sit in the office for work and social events. Just keep Lillian with you at all times."
In response to Chen Xu's rejection, Helian Rui remained calm and patient, but Mrs. Dong couldn't sit still any longer. She didn't want Chen Xu to live the rest of his life for Helian Rui's selfish wishes. She could only suppress her fear of men and dared to speak up to stop him: "Godfather, they are the AX Group after all. This will only lead to gossip!"
Helian Rui, who had been calm before, became obviously displeased when he heard the woman's voice. In the past, no matter what decision he made, this woman would just obey, but in the matter of Chen Xu, she had repeatedly spoken out to stop him, which made Helian Rui very unhappy, so his tone became much heavier.
"As a fiancée, will anyone say anything?"
The situation suddenly became tense. Chen Xu suppressed his inner unhappiness and glanced at the woman who was looking at him with a smile. He resumed his usual elegant and refined image, but he didn't give anyone any face when he spoke. "Okay, then I'd like to ask this young lady, how much do you know about the design industry, construction engineering, AX, and Su Yu? Everyone who works with me is a business partner, and the topics of conversation are mostly about industry issues. If you really want to work with me, I'm sure you'll have to work hard."
Chen Xu really couldn't think of any other way, so he could only use AX and Su Yu as shields. After all, the status of their group could not be easily shaken even by the royal family of Country A. They were just a branch of Spyker, and if they wanted to confront them head-on, they really had to consider their own weight.
Lillian's face was red with anger, and Daisy's expression was also very ugly. In Country A, they had always been sought after and fawned over, and now being humiliated by a junior must be very unhappy. However, Helian Rui kept talking, and Daisy didn't dare to interrupt, so she could only endure it. But Lillian couldn't stand such grievance and directly spoke out.
"Su Yu, right? If I can surpass that woman Su Yu, will you accept me as your fiancée?"
When Chen Xu heard this, he just thought that she was a rich girl with a bad temper, so he smiled and said nothing.
"Okay! Chen Xu! If I can cure Su Yu, you will obey Uncle Chen and get engaged to me!"
Whether she was furious or what, Lillian made the decision immediately and slammed the door before leaving! Helian Rui didn't try to stop her, but instead showed a look of relief.
