The assistant was startled by Su Shixie's sudden cold attitude. He quickly looked down at the schedule in his hand. Beads of sweat instantly oozed out of his forehead. He stammered, "Boss Su, it's Boss Lin Zhihao. We met last week. His son Lin Zhou was also there."
The assistant secretly groaned in his heart, wondering how could he have encountered such a difficult problem just a few days after arriving? This new boss looked gentle, but his aura was quite scary when he got angry.
When Su Shixie heard the name "Lin Zhihao", his sword-like eyebrows instantly twisted into a deep "川" shape. The shrewd and sophisticated look of Lin Zhihao when they met last week and the arrogant and domineering behavior of his son Linzhou following behind him emerged in his mind. His face became increasingly gloomy.
When they met last week, Lin Zhihao brought Lin Zhou with him, all smiles, and kept calling Mr. Su "young and promising President Su". His words were full of flattery and currying favor. But now that his precious sister was bullied by Lin Zhou and was feeling very aggrieved, how could he still have the mind to discuss cooperation with the Lin family?
"Humph," Su Shixie snorted coldly, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust and impatience, "Just say I'm busy, and don't arrange meetings with the Lin family in the future. It's annoying to watch."
After saying that, he casually slammed the pen in his hand heavily on the conference table, making a crisp "pop" sound, which startled the people around him and made them shrink their necks unconsciously.
The assistant didn't dare to say anything more, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Su, I'll reply right away."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the meeting room like a frightened rabbit, still wondering in his heart: How did this Lin family offend President Su? It seems that they have completely pissed off President Su.
Su Shixie rubbed his temples, trying to calm his anger, but when he thought of Li Qiran's aggrieved look, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if it was being scratched by a cat's claws.
He took a deep breath and tried to draw his attention back to the meeting, but there was still a hint of coldness in his eyes that was difficult to dissipate.
The atmosphere in the conference room was so depressing that it was suffocating. The subordinates were trembling with fear when reporting their work, for fear that they would accidentally bring bad luck.
After finally waiting for the meeting to end, Su Shixie stood up and strode towards the office, each step seeming to be filled with anger.
As soon as I sat down in the office, the cell phone dinged, breaking the silence.
Su Shixie picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Li Qiran, which detailed how Linzhou was a Taiwanese who tried to get through his back door. The words also revealed the little girl's entanglement and worry.
After reading the message, Su Shixie raised a slightly bitter smile and thought: This silly girl hesitated for a long time and finally decided to tell me. It makes me angry and funny.
However, with this information, Su Shixie became more certain that his decision to refuse cooperation with the Lin family was correct.
He tapped his fingers quickly on the screen of his phone and sent a message to Li Qiran: "Xiao Qi, big brother knows about it. Don't worry about it. Just have fun."
After sending the message, he leaned back in his chair, his face as cold as ice, and thought about what happened when they met last week. However, he never expected that Linzhou was still a Taiwanese.
It is also possible that Linzhou disguised himself too well and was not as blatant as Qian Chen.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk, secretly thinking about how to get rid of the Lin family's entanglement. It might be possible to just break up, but after all, Lin Yiping also had the surname Lin, and Li Qiran had a close relationship with her.
This matter really gave Su Shixie a headache.
…
Lin Zhihao was preparing to cooperate with the Su Group, and was still thinking about this cooperation:... Mainly, it will be related to the Su family, and maybe he can return to the imperial capital in the future.
He was packing his suit when his assistant knocked on the door in a hurry, which immediately ruined his good mood. He impatiently let him in.
The assistant pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Boss Lin, Su Shixie's assistant called and said that Su Shixie is too busy and has no time to discuss cooperation."
When Lin Zhihao heard what his assistant said, he froze in place instantly. He didn't have time to put away the smile on his face. It just froze in awkwardness, his eyes full of disbelief.
He never expected that Su Shixie, who seemed to be in a good mood a few days ago, would change his mind in the blink of an eye and directly refuse to cooperate on the grounds of being busy. This sudden blow made him dizzy and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"What did you say? Too busy to have time?" Lin Zhihao raised his voice, his tone was filled with obvious anger and unwillingness, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly. "That's not what you said when we met last week. It's only been a few days, and Su Shixie has turned his face against me?"
The assistant was frightened by his appearance, lowered his head, and his voice trembled: "Boss Lin, I... I don't know what's going on. Su Shixie's assistant said very firmly that there is no time to arrange a meeting in the near future."
Lin Zhihao tugged at his tie irritably and paced back and forth in the office, his mind racing, trying to find the crux of the problem.
Returning to the capital to develop has been a plan he has been thinking about for a long time. He thought that by taking the express train of the Su family, everything would fall into place smoothly. But now, this step he had just taken was abruptly blocked.
"No, we can't just let it go like this." Lin Zhihao gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Go and find out for me why Su Shixie suddenly changed his mind. Is there someone behind the scenes? I don't believe that a good cooperation can fall through just like that."
The assistant quickly agreed and hurriedly retreated. Lin Zhihao sat down on the sofa, put his head in his hands, and began to carefully think about what had happened in the past few days.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that his useless son Linzhou had caused some trouble? This kid loved to stir up trouble on weekdays. If he really offended Su Shixie or the people around him, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihao stood up suddenly, took out his cell phone and called Lin Zhou.
After the call was connected, he asked a barrage of questions: "Linzhou, have you gotten into trouble again these days? Let me tell you, I'm preparing to cooperate with the Su family on a big project. If you mess it up, you'll see what happens!"
Lin Zhou was confused on the other end of the phone and said aggrievedly, "Dad, I didn't cause any trouble. I've been behaving well these past few days."
Lin Zhihao didn't believe him at all and shouted angrily, "Tell me the truth, have you ever offended Su Shixie or anyone around him?"
Lin Zhou thought about it and realized that he had only provoked Lin Yiping and Li Qiran today. He said, "Today I just made a few sarcastic remarks about Lin Yiping and her little follower. That's all."
