Chapter 171: Not Enough Fate



Li Xiaoxia lay quietly on the bed, looking at Zhou Yuan pitifully with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Zhou Yuan bent down gently, then gently held her little hand and comforted her softly:

"Our little girl Xiaoxia has always been very strong, and she will be just as strong this time. She won't bow to difficulties, right?"

Li Xiaoxia saw someone's concerned look and nodded with some satisfaction. She even whispered, "Thank you, Zhou Yuan, thank you for coming to see me."

"No need to thank me, we are good friends, who cares?" Zhou Yuan patted his hand gently again, as a silent encouragement.

At this time, the nurse came over to prepare an IV drip. Zhou Yuan didn't know what to say, so he could only say goodbye. He waved to everyone and walked out of the ward.

When Zhou Yuan returned home, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. He was very tired, so he took a shower and went to bed.

However, with Liu Xiaopan as his partner, it was obviously impossible for him to fall asleep without some stories happening.

The next day was a sunny day, and the first thing Zhou Yuan did when he got to work was to call everyone to a meeting.

First, understand the company’s recent work status and arrangements for the next work.

Zhou Yuan now has an unwritten rule that he presides over meetings on Monday and Friday mornings.

He is usually not present at meetings at other times, and Liu Yiming presides over the meeting. I am responsible for all work arrangements and subsequent tasks.

Liu Yiming would report to Zhou Yuan whenever there was any situation, so behind his back everyone called Zhou Yuan a hands-off boss.

Apart from controlling the company's main business, finance and investment matters, he doesn't care about anything else.

The people below are fully responsible, and decentralization is a major feature of Zhou Yuan's management company.

As long as it can be completed and as long as it can be put down, he can put it out.

All you need to do is to take control of senior management's personnel arrangements, purse strings, and strategic planning.

With these three things in hand, you have nothing to fear from anything else.

After the meeting, Zhou Yuan went to other construction sites to inspect the work. Unexpectedly, Zheng Qiang called and said he wanted to invite him for coffee at a cafe not far from his company.

If someone wanted to treat him to coffee, Zhou Yuan certainly had no reason to refuse.

Although the two are competitors and enemies, they are sometimes partners. Therefore, they compete and cooperate, and their identities are quite special.

The two of them sat down in the coffee shop. Zheng Qiang arrived first, so he said generously, "Mr. Zhou, please order whatever you want. It's my treat today."

"Just grab a cup of coffee or something. We just had dinner." Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said:

"Boss Zheng left early this morning. Is it because of what happened at the hospital last night?"

"Yes and not entirely." Zheng Qiang picked up the coffee, took a sip, put down the cup, sighed and said:

"It's fine that Li Xiaoxia doesn't like me, but her parents were very polite to me before, often inviting me to their home. Now even her parents don't like me. Why do you think this is happening? Am I really that bad?"

After Zheng Qiang finished speaking, he slapped the table with a loud slap, almost shaking the coffee cup off.

Zhou Yuan quickly reached out and grabbed the coffee cup that the waiter had just put down, fearing that it would be broken and he would have to pay for it.

Although he didn't care about the money, it was still not good. He grabbed the coffee cup, glared at the other person and said, "Boss Zheng, what are you doing? This is not the place to lose your temper.

If you have the guts, go take your anger out on Li Xiaoxia."

Zhou Yuan's words made Zheng Qiang feel like a deflated ball. He said with a weak head:

"Aren't you just screwing me over? They avoid me like I'm the plague. How could I possibly be so angry at them? Do I deserve it?"

After saying this, Zheng Qiang let out a long sigh.

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this is what you often call a lack of fate. Actually, I personally think that you two are a perfect match."

Zheng Qiang said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't use the word fate to fool me, okay? You think there's no fate between us. It's just that the Li family thinks they're too arrogant, that they're from an upper-class family and look down on people like us who come from humble backgrounds."

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Zhou Yuan shook his head. "After all, you were born in the city, and I was born in the countryside. They don't seem to dislike me."

"Are you different from me? Although you were born in the countryside, you have a diploma from a correspondence university, but I don't. I only have a high school diploma.

Maybe they think I am not as good as you in this aspect."

Zheng Qiang has been a little nervous recently, overthinking everything and feels that his position in your family's hearts has changed.

This made him feel a little bit unacceptable, and he began to doubt his life.

In fact, he and Li Xiaoxia are childhood sweethearts and have lived in the same courtyard since they were young.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaoxia's father later fell ill and moved out of the original yard, and the two families had few opportunities to meet after that.

When they met again, both of them had grown up. Zheng Qiang was already a contractor, and Li Xiaoxia was already the factory director of a large enterprise.

The two seem to be a good match, but in fact there is a huge gap in their strength, because one is outside the system and the other is inside the system; one has an administrative level and the other is the boss of a private enterprise.

In the early 1990s, people were not very fond of doing business, especially those within the system.

People thought that only those who had no future would do it on their own, and that such people were full of the smell of money. That was what many people thought at the time.

But the question is, your family doesn’t like Zheng Qiang, so why do they like Zhou Yuan?

Because Zhou Yuan looks better than Zheng Qiang, and the key is that Li Xiaoxia likes Zhou Yuan, and the two had a very good relationship at that time.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan's identity was basically ignored. There is a saying that goes, "Love the house and love the dog."

Sometimes loving someone is not that particular.

In addition, Li Xiaoxia knew that Zhou Yuan was very reliable, but Zheng Qiang was not so reliable. Perhaps this was the difference between the two of them.

In short, in Li Xiaoxia's eyes, she loves Zhou Yuan and doesn't like Zheng Qiang. It's that simple.

So the situation has evolved to the point where Zheng Qiang is wholeheartedly pursuing Li Xiaoxia, but she just doesn't want to pay attention to him.

Li Xiaoxia likes Zhou Yuan, but the flower may have feelings, but the water is merciless.

So the story goes on and on, Zhou Yuan became the winner in life, and Li Xiaoxia was very career-oriented and was promoted to a higher level than before.

Zheng Qiang's career has developed well in the past two years, but there is still a gap compared to Zhou Yuan. It can only be said that the gap is not big.

Although Li Xiaoxia did not suffer any disability in the end, it was a huge psychological blow to her.

These days, Zhou Yuan tried his best to make time to visit Li Xiaoxia every day, chatting with her, helping her peel fruit, and buying delicious food for her.

Li Xiaoxia was cared for by her family and nurses, and she received the best medicine, so she recovered quickly.

After a few days, I was able to push the stroller and sit up in bed.

But because the injury is to the leg, it is impossible for him to get out of bed.

But no matter what, she would smile happily every day when she saw Zhou Yuan coming.
