Chapter 165 Didn’t Leave
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the house through the window, Xu Qingsui slowly opened his eyes.
She subconsciously touched the place next to her, but there was no one there.
My heart can't stop feeling lost. Everything that happened last night seemed like a dream, beautiful yet empty.
But it’s better this way, so as to avoid embarrassment when we meet.
She propped up her aching body and was shocked when she saw the purple and red patches on her skin. It was enough to show how intense last night was.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Xu Qingsui subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover herself, and looked up to see Huo Xilin walking in with a steaming bowl of shrimp, egg custard and rice porridge. The fragrance instantly filled the whole room, and her stomach rumbled uncontrollably and she swallowed her saliva again and again.
"You...you didn't leave?" She herself didn't even realize it, but there was a hint of relief in her tone.
"Do you want me to leave?" Huo Xilin placed the rice porridge on the bedside and approached Xu Qingsui.
How could Xu Qingsui resist his charm? He was like a peacock with its tail spread out, exuding a sense of pleading at all times.
So the moment he approached, she dodged backwards.
Huo Xilin was quick-witted and used his palm to block the blow just as her head was about to hit the headboard.
"Be careful, this bed is an old-fashioned one, and the headboard is made of solid wood. It will hurt if you hit the back of your head." Huo Xilin warned lovingly.
Xu Qingsui blushed, pulled the quilt over his face, leaving only a pair of deer-like eyes, and whispered, "Got it."
Huo Xilin picked up the bowl, blew on it, then scooped a spoonful with a spoon and handed it to her: "Try it. This is the first time I've made this porridge. I don't know if it suits your taste."
Xu Qingsui hesitated for a moment, and when she met Huo Xilin's expectant gaze, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she leaned over to take a bite. It was just the right amount of saltiness, with the freshness of the shrimp and the tenderness of the egg combined together with the rice porridge, which she swallowed in one gulp.
She gave a thumbs up and nodded repeatedly, unable to help but praise: "Delicious, delicious! Is this really your first time making this?"
It’s hard to believe that his level is comparable to that of a star chef. I didn’t expect that he is so talented in cooking.
Being praised by Xu Qingsui, Huo Xilin smiled slightly, and even his eyes could not hide the smile.
"If it tastes good, eat more. I see you've lost weight recently."
Xu Qingsui felt a little embarrassed by being fed by Huo Xilin, so he simply took the bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls. He ate three bowls in a row and finally felt full.
After getting up and washing up, Huo Xilin glanced at the time and said, "I'll send you the contact information of the head of the legal department. Please contact him. The company has other things to do. I'll go to work first. Please call me anytime if you have anything."
Xu Qingsui looked at the phone number sent by Huo Xilin in the message. She quickly added the person's contact information and communicated briefly for a while. The person in charge arranged a meeting time and they would discuss the details at that time.
After Huo Xi left, Xu Qingsui looked at the card on the table. She walked over and picked it up. This way of reporting was obviously a failure.
Thinking about what happened last night, she was actually so cooperative. Besides her own selfish motives, I'm afraid there was also an element of reward involved.
He helped her, so she met his needs...
It turned out that without her realizing it, the relationship between the two had secretly deteriorated in her heart.
Xu Qingsui felt ashamed of her behavior. She became the kind of woman she once looked down upon, just like Gu Rong, selling herself out to get what she wanted.
But she was powerless to change and could only go with the flow, like a duckweed, drifting with the current.
After returning to the hospital to see Xu Di and Lin Wan, Xu Qingsui began to get busy with court matters again.
Affected by the negative news, the Lu Group's stock price hit the daily limit for several days in a row, resulting in losses of billions. Several of its projects were short of funds and had to be suspended.
The shareholders held a meeting to seek a solution, but Lu Jingyu, the new chairman, did not come.
The older one couldn't stand it anymore and called him personally. A drunken voice came from the other end: "I don't care about the company's affairs. You guys can handle it yourself! Come on and keep drinking..."
There was a loud commotion coming from the other end, and the old shareholder was so angry that he smashed the phone on the spot.
"It's already this time, and he's still living a life of debauchery outside. The old man surnamed Lu knows that he can't keep his family safe, so he transferred the shares to his grandson, right? These grandfather and grandson are clearly trying to harm us. I think the Lu Group is going to be ruined!"
Shareholder Wang, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, said nothing but looked very relaxed.
Seeing this, the old shareholder hurriedly said to him, "Manager Wang, you should come up with an idea. Without Mr. Lu, you are the second largest shareholder of the company and have the highest position. Come up with a solution quickly. You are losing a lot of money every day!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shareholder Wang smiled and said, "I actually think this is a good thing. The company is indeed losing money, but it may not be our money that is lost."
Everyone looked at each other, stunned by what shareholder Wang said.
After a moment of silence, everyone seemed to have found a backbone. They all gathered around and asked shareholder Wang, "Manager Wang, tell me in detail!"
"The grandfather and grandson surnamed Lu don't treat us as their own family. They want us to bear the consequences when they cause trouble. It's time to change the name of this Lu Enterprise!"
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, shareholder Wang spoke slowly.
Everyone looked at each other, none of them understood what he meant.
So, shareholder Wang explained in more detail: "The more the market value of Lu's enterprise falls, the more beneficial it is to us. When Lu Jingyu sells all his shares, Lu's enterprise will no longer have anything to do with the Lu family. At that time, we will regroup and set sail again. Wouldn't the money come back in large amounts? Whose money do you think is being lost now?"
Everyone was enlightened instantly, their eyes sparkled, and they all admired shareholder Wang: "Manager Wang is still far-sighted. This is equivalent to the Lu family's money filling the current deficit. Great! The grandfather and grandson are really not worthy of being on an equal footing with us. It's time to ask them to get out."
At this time, someone raised the question: "Who will buy Lu Jingyu's shares? Is he willing to sell?"
"According to his current lifestyle of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, within half a year, all his stocks will be sold out. If someone guides him to gamble in City A, the speed will be even faster." Shareholder Wang said, "I am determined to get his shares. If you trust me, the company will be even better under my leadership than it was under Mr. Lu's leadership!"
