Chapter 515: Persuade Again
Han Zhengping drove away from Gu's house and chatted with Su Mingchang and Su Wenshan in the study for a long time before returning to his room. Without turning on the lights, he walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly.
It was dark and silent, with only the cigarette in his hand emitting some light. He liked to think in the dark.
Qiao Yidan's attempt to steal information was actually not a big deal compared to what they had encountered in recent years.
Those who enter the technology industry are all big families or big conglomerates. Although competing with these people cannot be said to be bloody, it is also fighting openly and secretly. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
Competition in the industry is not just about technology; it's also about financial resources, connections, and means. Competition in the tech industry also depends on national strength.
Although their technology company had achieved some success in the past few years, the effort involved had completely exceeded their expectations. It was the accumulation of several generations of the Su family that had kept them from running out of money.
The laboratories and factories have just moved to the country, and they need to make plans for how to stabilize the domestic market, how to obtain the greatest support from the country, and how to remain invincible in international competition.
You must proceed step by step!
After smoking a cigarette and staying in the quiet night for a while, he went to wash up and rest.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, he thought of what Xiao Si said today about not having passion for acting at home. Her little face was smart and cute, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. He didn't know what she was doing now, was she reading or sleeping?
Maybe I should get her a mobile phone so that she can talk to me whenever she wants.
The next day, he arrived at the company with a gloomy face. When the company employees said good morning to him, he just said "hmm" instead of saying good morning to them as usual.
The air pressure on the 28th floor has been very low these days, and everyone is being very cautious. Seeing him enter the office, two female employees whispered:
"Has Mr. Su not reconciled with his fiancée yet? I can hardly breathe right now."
"It seems like not, and I don't know when they will be able to reconcile."
"Do you think they will break up?"
"Who knows?"
Han Zhengping entered the office, called his assistant over, and told him to buy a mobile phone. Then he packed up and went to the laboratory. He was still sullen when he entered the laboratory.
The atmosphere in the lab these days, while not as stressful and tense as the office, wasn't as relaxed as usual. Several research engineers had also learned of his quarrel with his fiancée.
"You can't reason with girls when you argue with them," said Zhang Gong, the oldest of the research engineers, smiling and saying to Han Zhengping, "Just lower your attitude and try to coax them."
Zhang Gong felt that since this prince was top-notch in appearance, ability, and family background, he was certainly arrogant. But he couldn't be arrogant when dating girls!
"I see, thank you!" Han Zhengping forced a smile and began his work for the day. But it was clear that he wasn't as efficient as usual. When Qiao Yidan came to the lab, he saw him frowning and lost in thought.
"Engineer Su, I'm sorry. I just said that unintentionally that day." Qiao Yidan looked apologetic. "How about I go and explain it to Miss Gu?"
"No need," Han Zhengping said calmly, "The fundamental reason is not what you said. We have been apart for too long, and there are already many conflicts."
"Go and do your work." Han Zhengping acted as if he didn't want to talk, so Qiao Yidan had no choice but to leave.
When she walked into the tea room, she heard Engineer Zhang and Engineer Li chatting inside.
Engineer Li: "Engineer Su is still young and a bit sentimental. He had a fight with his fiancée, and it created a bit of tension in the whole company."
Zhang Gong: "You don't know this. This quarrel of theirs is not a simple one."
Engineer Li: "What? Is there something else going on?"
Zhang Gong: "Do you know the identity of Su Gong's fiancée?"
Li Gong: "What's your identity?"
Engineer Zhang pointed upwards, "Xia's granddaughter."
Engineer Li was absorbed in his research and wasn't very good at socializing. He didn't get around to the point, and then he heard Engineer Zhang say, "Whether it's domestic development or international competition, the company cannot do without the support of the state. The Xia family is the channel through which we can reach the emperor."
Engineer Li nodded in understanding. Engineer Zhang continued, "So, if this quarrel isn't handled properly, the losses will be enormous."
Li Gong: "Then we have to persuade him again."
Zhang Gong: "We need to persuade them. Only when the company is doing well can we do well."
After listening to their conversation, Qiao Yidan had been somewhat skeptical of Han Zhengping's behavior over the past few days, but now felt that she had been overthinking it. If it was just a simple argument, Han Zhengping's behavior might have been a bit excessive, but if it affected the company's development, his behavior was normal.
Maybe we should start taking action right away. Once they reconcile, it will be difficult to act.
At noon, Han Zhengping returned to the office with some documents. His assistant handed him the mobile phone he had just bought. After taking a look at it, he said, "Go call Qiao Yidan."
"Okay." The assistant left, and Han Zhengping dialed Su Wenshan's number and said, "Okay."
A few seconds after hanging up the phone, Su Wenshan called again. Han Zhengping answered the phone and heard Su Wenshan say, "Go apologize to Xiao Si."
Han Zhengping sensed movement at the door and said impatiently, "Why should I apologize? She's the one who's being unreasonable."
There was a knock on the door. He called out, "Come in!" and took out some documents from his bag while talking. "I'm the one who apologizes every time. She's just been spoiled."
Su Wenshan: "For the sake of the overall situation, please be patient."
Han Zhengping clamped the mobile phone on his shoulder and bent down to dial the combination of the safe, saying, "I'll tolerate it this time, but what about next time? Will you let me tolerate her forever?"
Su Wenshan: "You must go to the Gu family this afternoon to apologize. Anyway, you have to endure it this time."
Han Zhengping punched in the password, opened the safe, and put the documents inside. "Let's talk about it in a couple of days. Let's give her a break for a few days."
He hung up the phone and turned around to see Qiao Yidan. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Notify them. The meeting will be held at 2:30 pm."
"good."
Han Zhengping waved her out. After the door closed, he looked at the safe. She should be able to remember the combination. If she didn't even have that ability, she shouldn't be a spy.
Qiao Yidan was a perfect spy. She remembered the password Han Zhengping had just entered. She had no doubts because everything Han Zhengping had done just now was so genuine.
In fact, another reason why she didn't suspect anything was that she thought all this was planned by her. She provoked Gu Siqing, and then Gu Siqing quarreled with Han Zhengping. Han Zhengping was in a bad mood and let his guard down, so she took the opportunity to attack.
Of course she believed in the script she designed.
