Chapter 385: Ginger is still spicy with age
"I know this is indeed our own fault, but if the project is good, why should we take such trivial matters to heart? I know Mr. Cheng's ability at work, and he shouldn't lose such a big order because of personal matters."
Lin Rushuang still hasn't given up at this moment, which is probably related to her previous style of doing things.
When she was at Lide, in order to help Li Wenyuan get projects, she had to deal with several partners all the time.
Of course, there were also people who rejected her, but that was her personality. The more difficult something was, the more she wanted to conquer it.
She will never give up until the last moment.
"Also, Mr. Cheng, we can still make some minor adjustments to the price. Your concern last time wasn't because the quote was too high. We really want to work with you. Otherwise, please tell us your price. If we don't lose too much money, we can still consider it."
Lin Rushuang's tone was sincere.
Looking at Lin Rushuang like this, Cheng Yian suddenly understood why He Tingchen liked her.
Her approving gaze fell on Lin Rushang.
"Lin Rushuang, you're really great, you know that? You have a certain quality that attracts people, that kind of sunshine. When I'm with you, I'm inexplicably infected."
Lin Rushuang just smiled faintly when she heard this.
"It's nothing. If my qualities can make others happy, it's my honor."
Cheng Yian smiled. "But let me be clear with you first. I definitely didn't sign this contract because of He Tingchen. I signed it because of you. If you hadn't saved me today, I might have lived in darkness for the rest of my life."
"This isn't something that can be solved with just one project. I owe you a favor, and I've discovered over the past few days that if I really signed a contract with you, you would never let me suffer any loss."
Lin Rushuang never expected that the surprise would come like this.
She was a little excited and didn't know what to do for a moment. Suddenly, she subconsciously held Cheng Yian's hand and said gratefully.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, thank you for choosing to cooperate with us."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can keep an eye on the whole process of this project."
"Um."
…
He Tingchen and A Yao were standing in the emergency passage smoking. A Yao's eyes were dim and his whole body exuded a cold aura, as if he was a soul-catcher who had just walked out of hell.
Ah Yao took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Boss He, I don't think you can protect Sister Rushuang at all. Can you please stop pestering her?"
He Tingchen was probably shocked by his words when he heard this. A moment of surprise flashed across his bottomless eyes, and then he showed an unfathomable smile.
"Little brother, are you a little too arrogant?"
A Yao is indeed very young, and he looks a bit ruffian. In front of He Tingchen, it is no exaggeration to say that he is like a child.
"It doesn't matter whether you were arrogant when talking to me. What's important is that the facts are as they are. It's the same with Xie Hongzu. You still let her hurt you."
"I've been with her for so many years, and she's never been in danger like this. But ever since she came back, all sorts of bad things have been happening. Can't this be blamed on you?"
He Tingchen used his bony fingers to flick the cigarette ash towards the trash can next to him. He was not much moved by A Yao's words. Instead, he remained calm.
"So this is why you're so hostile every time you see me?"
"That's not entirely the reason. I just feel that it's not worth it for Sister Rushuang to give up her career and come back all this time, and now she's going to so much trouble for you."
Ah Yao thought that if he spoke to He Tingchen like that, someone with He Tingchen's family background would definitely not allow him to be so presumptuous.
But He Tingchen didn't look angry at all. In comparison, his reaction seemed a little too exaggerated.
He Tingchen crossed his arms over his chest, staring at the young A Yao in front of him with his slender and sharp eyes.
"Okay, then tell me, if it were you, what would you do if your sister Rushuang encountered the two dangers?"
When this was mentioned, A Yao seemed to be full of energy and immediately expressed his opinion.
"If it were me, I would have crippled Xie Hongzu right then and there. I want him to know that no matter how rich or powerful he is in Yuncheng, it won't work with me."
He Tingchen was not surprised at all. This was indeed in line with A Yao's personality. At this age, he would act recklessly no matter what he did.
"Okay, let's assume you've already ruined Xie Hongzu. No matter how badly, you'll definitely go to jail. If you don't have any family, that's fine. But if you do have family, do you know what will become of them given the Xie family's temperament?"
"They will be implicated by you and may even suffer unexpected disasters."
"Of course, this is only part of the reason. There's also what happened tonight. You must have been incarcerated after you crippled Xie Hongzu. So, may I ask, how did you resolve Sister Rushuang's predicament tonight?"
Every word He Tingchen said hit A Yao's heart like a hammer.
From the initial promises, to now, there is no light in his eyes at all, and that hint of confidence has gradually disappeared.
He really didn't think about the subsequent problems. He just wanted to deal with those who had hurt Lin Rushang.
He Tingchen's words made A Yao fall into deep thought. He was not the kind of unreasonable person.
"I'm sorry. I admit that I was indeed too inconsiderate. But your method, although better than mine, still hurt her."
What A Yao wants is for Lin Rushuang to be safe and have a life of her own.
He Tingchen really couldn't help laughing out loud this time.
"Let's not say such unrealistic things, okay? You clearly know it's impossible. You can only prevent her from getting hurt. If you want to avoid being hurt completely, then you can only keep her at home. Do you think, based on your understanding of her, she would be willing to be a bird in a cage?"
A Yao fell silent.
"Mr. He, I'm sorry. I was too arbitrary before. I admit that your plan was indeed more thoughtful."
He Tingchen patted A Yao's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone who hurt her go. Don't worry."
A Yao had never felt this way before, but suddenly, he discovered the gap between himself and He Tingchen.
It was at this moment that I suddenly realized it.
"Mr. He, are you really serious about Sister Rushuang? Or are you just looking for a temporary novelty?"
