Chapter 1173 If She Doesn’t Choose Me in the Future…
When Li Yu turned around and came back, the fifth brother looked at him and said, "Hey, little guy, why are your eyes red?"
Bian Zhi and Zhou Suihuai walked home.
Before I even got close to the door, I saw a person standing in the distance.
"Qin Chuli?" Bian Zhi asked, "How did you—"
"Aunt Bian." Qin Chuli's tone was a little impatient, with a panic that he himself didn't know about. His usually neat and well-tailored suit was now a little messy. "Is Youyou engaged to the boy from the Lin family?"
Qin Chuli was very anxious, the loose hair on his forehead fell down, and he looked fragile and broken.
"No," it had just rained a little outside, and Qin Chuli was covered in wet raindrops. Bian Zhi raised her hand and patted him, "Who told you that?"
"Lin Zefeng." Upon closer inspection, Qin Chuli's eyes were bloodshot. "He said so."
"I'm just kidding you," Bian Zhi sighed. The CEO who was so calm in the face of danger in the business world and could remain calm even when besieged by all the shareholders in the board meeting, was now panicking. Bian Zhi looked at him with pity and said, "Youyou is only a few years old. It's not possible to get her engaged so early."
The fluffy drizzle falling from the sky filled the entire background with a sad tone.
Qin Chuli's stiff and straight back relaxed at this moment when he heard Bian Zhi's denial. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said "Oh" with an embarrassed look on his face.
After a long time, he seemed to regain his composure and apologized to Bian Zhi, "Aunt Bian, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
But he is still a seventeen-year-old child. No matter how serious his mind is, no one can always remain rational when facing things he cares about.
"Aunt Bian, I may need some time," Qin Chuli lowered his head, his voice very soft, very soft, mixed with pleading in the rain, "I... I have nothing else but countless methods. Maybe it's not appropriate for me to say this, but I have no choice."
"Can I beg you, please give me a chance to exchange terms."
The rain gradually got heavier.
Bian Zhi looked at the stubborn young man across from him through the heavy rain and asked him, "What chance?"
"I will exchange the profits of the entire Asia-Pacific Alliance for the next fifty years with you. I hope you can give Enyou the opportunity to fall in love freely. She doesn't have to choose me, but I hope her marriage will be absolutely free in the future." Qin Chuli knew that Bian Zhi loved Zhou Enyou, and he also understood that Bian Zhi was more open-minded than many parents, but the children of wealthy families never followed their own will in their marriages.
He was afraid, really afraid.
I was so scared that I was shaking on the way here.
He was afraid that the moon, which was out of his reach, would be unhappy.
"Is it okay?" Qin Chuli asked softly.
Bian Zhi looked at the boy opposite quietly for a long time before she sighed deeply.
Qin Chuli has been immersed in the business world for many years, and he is now well versed in the tactics of intrigue and deception used by Old Man Qin. Such a person understands human nature too well, but also distrusts it the most.
But now he was standing in front of her like this, showing an attitude of paying any price without any bottom line, giving others the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.
This is not a wise action of a president, but it is indeed an action that one would take if he were willing to give everything for the one he loves.
"If you think the Asia-Pacific region is not enough, how about adding the entire European Union?"
Bian Zhi looked straight at Qin Chuli and asked him, "Do you know how much profit these two areas you mentioned will have in the next fifty years?"
Qin Chuli seemed to have a plan in mind when he heard Bian Zhi's words, and he felt more at ease. He was very proficient in numbers and said, "Breaking through 10 billion. The Qin family is still expanding its suite of equipment. I promise it will only increase, not decrease."
Bian Zhi nodded. "Then do you know how many fifty years there are in a lifetime? You're only seventeen, why are you making such a promise? This is irrational. A lifetime is so long, and you've only met one Zhou Enyou. You should see more of the world and meet others. Only then will you know if it's worth it."
This is the sincere advice given by Bian Zhi as Zhou Enyou's mother and Qin Chuli's elder.
"Aunt Bian," Qin Chuli's face became calm, and he answered seriously, "I left China at the age of eight to learn various business calculations and etiquette. I joined the Qin Group at the age of ten, founded my own brand at the age of eleven, and achieved some success internationally at the age of fifteen. Now, at the age of seventeen, I have achieved monopoly control in multiple industries. I have met many people,
There are those named Li Enyou and Wang Enyou, but I only recognize Zhou Enyou. I know I'm young, so you think I've chosen too early, but I've already seen the world, met many people, and witnessed many things. I have no place to go, and no things to gain. I only have a person I want to meet."
"Someone who really, really wants to possess her."
"But I like her brightness and her freedom, so today I'm only exchanging her freedom to choose her future spouse with you. I don't ask for anything else. I know what fifty years means to a person, and I'm willing to exchange my entire life for hers."
"Is that alright?" Qin Chuli's face was extremely sincere. "Aunt Bian, I beg you."
The more Bian Zhi listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.
sky.
What kind of feeling is this?
She was about to speak when Zhou Suihuai beside her spoke quickly, "Okay, I agree."
Bian Zhi tilted his head to look at Zhou Suihuai.
Zhou Suihuai held the umbrella for Bian Zhi with one hand while looking at the young man opposite.
Yes.
He agreed.
Qin Chuli today is the same as he was when he was young, full of passion and sincerity.
"But if Zhou Enyou doesn't choose you in the future, you'll suffer a great loss."
Qin Chuli shook his head firmly, "If she doesn't choose me in the future, then these fifty years of wealth will serve as my dowry for her. If she marries me in the future, this money will serve as her betrothal gift."
That day, it was raining heavily. Qin Chuli came in the drizzle and left in the heavy rain.
He walked with determination, without even asking for the umbrella, and bowed to Bian Zhi and Zhou Suihuai.
Here, he exchanged the freedom of the rest of his life for the right of others to be happy, but he only felt gratitude after being fulfilled.
Zhou Enyou and Liu Shuyi were playing games in the room, and their laughter came from inside, bright and clear.
Qin Chuli turned his head to look over, but saw no one, but he smiled slightly.
After the people had gone far away, Bian Zhi asked Zhou Suihuai in confusion, "Why did you agree to Qin Chuli? Are you trying to trick him?"
Fifty years.
A person's best fifty years.
They all went in.
"Not really. With these 10 billion in front of us, whoever dares to mess with us will have to pay more than this betrothal gift. My daughter is precious, not every scoundrel can dream of her. Besides, my dad has nothing to do, who knows when his brain will cramp? I have an excuse here early, how great is that?"
(
"My dad is such a money-grubber, he'd have to give me some respect after seeing these billions, right?"
Bian Zhi laughed, "Really?"
Zhou Suihuai nodded and said, "Yeah."
After Bian Zhi entered the door, Zhou Suihuai put away his umbrella, looked in the direction Qin Chuli had just left, and said softly, "I can only help you here."
I don’t know whether this sentence was said to my younger self or to Qin Chuli.
When he was young, he felt regretful, thinking that he had not worked hard enough and that was why Bian Zhi wasted those years and got into all those troubles. He still feels sad about it now.
He hoped that if possible, Zhou Enyou could choose the right person from the beginning, someone who would stand firmly behind her and protect her for the rest of her life, so that the little bandit in his family could smile without worries for the rest of his life.
This is my selfish desire as a father.
Bian Zhi entered the house.
Zhou Enyou and Liu Shuyi, who were playing, turned around. Zhou Enyou, still smiling, asked Bian Zhi, "Who were you talking to outside just now?"
Bian Zhi could have answered casually, but at this moment, he didn't know why.
Perhaps because of Qin Chuli's determination, or perhaps because he was moved by the young man's sincerity, Bian Zhi said softly after entering the room, "Qin Chuli."
Zhou Enyou: "Hmm?"
Bian Zhi laughed, "Talking to a boy named Qin Chuli, he's about your age."
Zhou Enyou turned around and saw the Scorpion's men urging her to play a card. She smiled and threw a card from her hand and replied, "Oh, that handsome little brother from last time. I remember him."
Bian Zhi smiled, walked upstairs, and reminded these guys not to play too late.
He had just taken a few steps when Zhou Enyou called out to him again, "Mom, have I seen this Qin Chuli before? Why does he look familiar?"
Bian Zhi turned his head upon hearing this.
In the living room, Zhou Enyou sat in the middle of the sofa, surrounded by people. She grinned, glanced at the cards in her hand, then looked up to meet her gaze.
"Mother?"
Bian Zhi nodded, "Yeah, you were good friends with him when you were little."
Zhou Enyou uttered an "Ah" and laughed like a little fox. "I told you, my memory is so good, I can't be wrong." He threw the cards in his hand, "Royal bomb! Hahaha, I win. Come on, stretch your face over here, and I'll draw a big turtle for you."
Bian Zhi looked at Zhou Enyou. She seemed to have forgotten the question again. She shook her head and went upstairs.
Bian Zhi is planning to return to City A, so he is sorting out all the affairs of the research institute.
Just as they were getting started, the fifth senior brother hurried over and took Li Yu out of the car.
"Brother, you look pale," Bian Zhi looked at Fifth Brother, who was clutching his stomach. "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, don't mention it. The cafeteria aunt bought expired meat and we all got acute gastroenteritis. We've been on IV drips for three days and haven't gotten any better. We're all in the hospital. I have to go in today too. It's so painful! I can't stand it, little sister. Li Yu has to leave you here for a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Fifth Brother was in so much pain that his waist was bent and he could hardly stand.
Bian Zhi asked if he should be given a few acupuncture needles. The fifth senior brother waved his hand and said that he would be fine after an IV drip. He left Li Yu and hurried away.
Bian Zhi called the station, but no one answered.
Li Yu was standing at the door with a schoolbag on his back and a small blanket in his arms, looking pitiful.
"Hey, come in."
Bian Zhi ushered people in. Li Yu took off his shoes, and Bian Zhi asked him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yu shook his head, his face showing restrained worry, but fear was revealed in his eyes, and his body was shaking slightly.
"Brother, will you die?"
"No," Bian Zhi brought him a pair of slippers. "Gastroenteritis is a very common disease. It can be cured by hanging an IV. Just think of it as cleaning your intestines. Didn't you eat the food in the cafeteria?"
Li Yu shook his head, "Eighth Senior Brother bought me a cake, and I ate too much."
Bian Zhi nodded and pointed to the guest room, "Go ahead, you can sleep in your previous room."
Li Yu walked in holding a small blanket. When she turned around to close the door, Bian Zhi saw two big tears on Li Yu's face. She was afraid and worried, with her eyes lowered, looking very pitiful.
Bian Zhi asked someone to go to the hospital.
Everyone in the institute was inside, including the security guard at the door.
When Gu Yan came back to report, he was a little dumbfounded. "They said they ate unclean pork. What kind of pork is that? It's so lethal. Boss, you didn't see it. Some of them vomited bile. It was scary."
Bian Zhi frowned, not expecting it to be so serious. "Have they all been hospitalized?"
"I did. When I left, I asked the caregivers to arrange one for each of them. They really did need someone to accompany them. The person with the pale face looked like a dead person. The auntie also vomited and cried with guilt while vomiting."
Bian Zhi asked again, "Is it really the meat that's the problem?"
"Yes, I asked the cafeteria cook, and she admitted it herself. She had forgotten about the meat she bought and put it in the lowest part of the freezer. It was raining that day and visibility was poor, so she didn't pay much attention and just cooked it. There was a strange smell during the process, and she added a lot of fish maw and chili peppers to cover the smell, making it hard to smell. So, something went wrong."
"Later, I went to the hospital inside the institute and saw, wow! The pork was completely moldy. It's a good thing they couldn't tell. I was really impressed."
"Boss," Gu Yan's investigation was instinctive, but he was doing it subconsciously, without any other thoughts in his mind. "You suspect there's something fishy going on here, right? They're just researchers at the institute, not key figures. Who would want to harm them? There's no direct benefit involved. Even if they did, they would definitely be trying to cause trouble for you, the director, right?"
"It should be fine. I went to the hospital today and saw a lot of people with gastroenteritis. The doctor said it was normal. It's food poisoning, so usually you'll end up eating a whole pill at once."
"Boss, why don't you hurry up and make some plans and get out of this damn place? It's always raining here and it's too uncomfortable."
Bian Zhi didn't say much. While he was deep in thought, he heard some noises of playing in the garden.
Zhou Enyou was playing with the wolfhound. Li Yu was sitting in the pavilion, holding Zhou Enyou's thermos cup, looking at the man and the dog, smiling quietly and foolishly.
Bian Zhi said softly, "I hope I'm wrong."
Gu Yan: "Ah? Boss, what did you say?"
Bian Zhi shook his head and looked back at the computer. "It's okay."
Bian Zhi has always been proficient in numbers. Senior Brother Five knows how to control the progress of the specific research matters in the institute. All she has to do is to make overall plans and arrangements.
These things are simple for Bian Zhi.
She could handle it in just a few days. At the dinner table, Gu Yan asked again when she could leave.
Bian Zhi was just about to open his mouth to answer.
Over there, Li Yu spilled a bowl of soup.
There was a loud bang.
