"No!" The words of rejection came out of his mouth.
Yian’s retirement community and Tongxin are completely two different development directions, and his and Xu Liang’s ideas are completely different.
If Xu Jing were to make changes, the retirement community would not be what he expected.
Xu Ling had expected Qi Yu to reject her. After all, if Qi Yu had brought up the same topic, she would have definitely refused.
But refusing now will not solve the problem, as their soul swap is an established fact.
Without changes, neither of them will be happy.
Rather than both sides suffer losses, it is better for both sides to take a step back.
Xu Liang patiently spoke again, "Qi Yu."
Although she spoke in a calm voice, her tone was gentle, a tone she had never used to Qi Yu before.
The person in front of her slowly raised his head, waiting for her to continue, his eyes filled with emotions that Xu Liang could not quite understand.
Like sparks produced by metal friction, they quickly disappeared into the calm bottom of the lake and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Liang continued, "I understand your concerns, so I won't easily change your arrangements or cancel your smart products. I just want to make those elderly people happier and more energetic."
Xu Liang felt that this was the limit of what she could accept.
She was extremely reluctant at first, but after seeing the lives of these elderly people with her own eyes, she was easily moved.
From the moment she stepped into the door of medicine, from the moment she shouted the Hippocratic Oath in front of the oath stone upon enrollment, her sympathy and compassion grew wildly. Coupled with the concepts instilled in her since childhood, she found that she could also compromise for her sympathy and compassion.
Even in front of this person, she always stubbornly maintained her self-esteem.
She didn't know what the person on the other side was thinking, nor was she sure that he would agree to her.
Qi Yu was silent for a very long time, but his eyes stayed on hers, as if he wanted to stare through these pupils that belonged to him and see clearly what kind of thoughts were contained in them.
The two of them were deadlocked on the balcony. It was even quieter here because the elderly people in the room were resting.
Xu Liang could only hear his steady breathing.
Qi Yu usually gave people the impression that he was difficult to approach, cold and arrogant. When he put on such a fierce look, Xu Liang became a little nervous.
The slightly tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared in Assistant Liu's soft questioning.
Liu Zhu stood at the end of the corridor and watched the movements of the two people.
After all, she is Qi Yu's assistant. She has accompanied Qi Yu to many forums with Xu Liang and witnessed the two of them bickering with each other.
The two men deliberately sent him away to talk on a secluded balcony. If a fight broke out, it would affect the elderly in the community, and if the news got out, it would also affect their ratings in the near future.
It was fine at first, but then he noticed that the expressions on their faces were becoming more and more serious. He suddenly felt that something was wrong and worried that it was the prelude to a storm, so he rushed over to extinguish the flames before they even started.
"Mr. Qi, the community has almost learned about it. Can we also let Mr. Xu visit the industrial park?"
Without waiting for Qi Yu's answer, Xu Liang didn't want to leave easily.
She asked Liu Zhu to wait in the car first, but Qi Yu said he wanted to go to the industrial park.
He just leaned closer to her and whispered, "I need to think about it. I'll give you an answer when I get home tonight."
…
In Yian's industrial park, Qi Yu avoided almost all employees and did not allow Liu Zhu to follow him.
He took Xu Liang with him and briefly introduced their technological elderly care products.
Normally, this kind of visit would only require a brief understanding, but Qi Yu made Xu Liang experience them one after another.
It's like she must know what these products actually do.
From smart detection bracelets to smart nursing beds, Qi Yu finally took her to try out the educational games designed by Yian specifically for the elderly.
Xu Liang's eyes, which were originally covered with a layer of fatigue, lit up slightly, as if a spark that was about to go out was blown by the wind and rekindled with a bright light.
"How is it? Do you feel any different?" Qi Yu suddenly asked.
Xu Jing finally understood——
He wanted her to change her mind about the products and accept his management style.
The tablet in his hand was put back, and the light in his eyes, which had relaxed a little, gathered again, forming a sharp color.
Xu Liang raised the corner of his lips, revealing the fake smile that Qi Yu was familiar with: "Of course."
After a brief pause, Qi Yu waited for her to continue.
"Yian Technology is indeed a senior care company that focuses on product research and development, excels at model management, and basically ignores the feelings of the elderly."
“…”
She deliberately slowed down her speech and emphasized the descriptions she had refined.
Her sharp eyes stared directly at Qi Yu, and she could already feel the aura around him growing colder and colder.
A low snort escaped his nose, and Xu Jing continued to provoke: "Well, isn't my description particularly accurate?"
Still no answer from Qi Yu.
Xu Liang only knew that he was enduring.
She quietly waited for him to explode, but her emotions suddenly changed at a certain moment, and Xu Liang did not catch that moment.
Qi Yu's shoulders relaxed, the cold air suddenly dissipated, and a smile returned to Xu Liang's face.
Xu Liang became alert again——
It was that kind of meaningful smile again.
The next second, Qi Yu proposed an offer that she could hardly resist: "You seem to be very interested in this puzzle game. If I say I will sell this game to Tong Xin and give her an aging tablet as a gift, would you like it, Mr. Xu?"
During the confrontation, he suddenly handed over a draw card, which had never happened before.
Xu Liang didn't understand what he was doing.
Moreover, the sharp weapon did not land on the target, and Xu Liang felt a little empty.
She really wanted to save face and refuse calmly, but...
She was indeed interested.
I really want to try it on the elderly people in the nursing home.
She didn't understand how Qi Yu could see through her so easily.
This feeling—
Not very happy.
While Xu Liang was still struggling, Qi Yu continued, "Besides, I'm now the director of Tongxin. I don't mind helping Mr. Xu teach the elderly how to practice, when to practice, and how long to practice each day. After all, at Yian, we already have a very scientific and detailed plan."
Xu Liang didn't believe that he would be so kind and became more vigilant.
"What conditions do you want to set?"
The man used his usual businessman tactics again. Every word he said sounded nice, but there was a hidden agenda behind it.
"What conditions are there? I just want to invite Mr. Xu to cooperate with Yian. If Tongxin becomes Yian's partner, then I naturally have no objection to Mr. Xu wanting to renovate the retirement community."
He offered her another offer to tempt her.
Xu Liang was still on guard. "Cooperate with me? Mr. Qi, have you forgotten what you said when you first joined Yian? Build a new technological elderly care system, am I right? Besides, what benefits do you think you can get from cooperating with me?"
When it comes to profit, Qi Yu is not a philanthropist at all. He sells educational games and gives away tablets, and even teaches the students personally, unless he charges a sky-high price.
When it comes to feelings, Qi Yu is even less relevant.
Qi Yu's smile was even more elusive: "Yian has obtained some funds, and it can also allow President Xu to play the role of Qi Yu, the CEO of Yian, without any worries. For me, this is not a good thing?"
Xu Liang still didn't fully believe it.
Qi Yu likes to cheat people, which is a common thing in college.
Besides, he is a businessman now, cunning and treacherous, so Xu Liang thinks he needs to think about it carefully.
But the man continued to seduce her.
"This puzzle game was developed by our company based on numerous documents and data, and a dedicated app will be developed soon. Mr. Xu, this is a special product, and the price will definitely satisfy you. And you should also know that this kind of puzzle exercise can effectively improve cognitive impairment in the elderly, right?"
It touched her heart completely.
Xu Liang was almost persuaded.
If Qi Yu continued like this, she would really agree to him.
However, a phone call disrupted the atmosphere.
Xu Liang snapped back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Yu pulled his phone out of his bag and saw the note, his pupils shrinking slightly.
Wife.
He held up the phone and handed it to Xu Kyung, "You have a wife?"
Xu Liang also became nervous, his hands at a loss. He wanted to pick up the phone to answer it, but then he remembered that he couldn't answer it yet, so he pushed the phone back to Qi Yu's ear: "This is Yingying, you answer it, and don't talk nonsense!"
The Yingying that Xu Ying mentioned was her best friend for more than ten years. She was a classmate of hers and Qi Yu, but after graduation, Song Ying entered the field and worked as a neurosurgeon in a tertiary hospital in Huaibei City.
She has been going to a neighboring city for exchange and study recently, and has not yet said when she will be back.
When the call was connected, the person on the other end couldn't contain his excitement: "Xiaoliang, I just got home. What time are you coming back tonight? Come to my house. I brought back a lot of local specialties!"
Song Ying and Xu Liang were neighbors. After graduation, they bought houses and deliberately chose houses facing each other.
Xu Liang didn't hear what was said on the other end, he only heard Qi Yu's answer: "I'm not living at home recently, I'm at Qi Yu's house——"
Before he could finish, Xu Kyung's hand covered his mouth tightly. Xu Kyung silently questioned, "Didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense?"
Xu Liang didn't know whether it was because he was too close or because the person on the other end was too surprised and spoke too loudly, but he heard Song Ying say, "You're staying at Qi Yu's house?!"
Although his mouth was covered, his throat was still able to make sounds, and Qi Yu hummed again.
Xu Liang quickly hung up the phone, not caring whether the conversation was complete or not.
She snatched back her phone, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and glared at him fiercely: "Qi, Yu!"
These two words were basically squeezed out from between her teeth. The voice was low and mellow. It was an obviously angry male voice, and at the same time it was wrapped in her anger.
"Did I tell you to stop talking nonsense? What are your intentions when you say I live in your house?!"
Xu Liang was really getting more and more confused about this person. He just blurted out things that he should have kept secret.
He also looked innocent and said calmly, "I'm just telling the truth."
Xu Liang bit his lip again, his eyes widened, and he pushed him away.
His tone was clearly unhappy: "Okay, tell the truth. Then you might as well tell the truth to your parents and the employees in your company. Let everyone know that our souls have been swapped!"
Tell the truth? I don't know if he is stupid or intentional.
The phone rang again.
As expected, it was Song Ying who called.
Xu Liang let the ringing continue, and the other end kept calling.
Finally, Xu Jing threw the phone to Qi Yu in despair: "You caused this, you solve it!"
