Qi Wei looked at the couple with a rather embarrassed expression.
"Madam, why don't we sit down and talk things over? There's no need for this..."
Lu Xueqing glared at him, "Sister Qi, whose side are you on? You're my assistant, you're paid by me, how come you're not even obeying my orders now?"
Qi Wei was speechless for a moment.
"Xueqing, you don't need to make things difficult for Sister Qi!" Lin Yu suddenly spoke up, saying calmly, "Didn't you want to file for divorce? If you promise me that you'll meet Liu Siyun and Tan Qingqing tomorrow, and if you still don't believe me after you meet them, then I'll agree to divorce you!"
Lu Xueqing remained silent for a long time, then bit her lip and said, "Fine, you said it yourself. I can go see them, but after I see them, you have to sign the divorce agreement!"
Lin Yu nodded and left the office.
Lu Xueqing leaned back in her chair, tears streaming down her face, wetting the documents on the table.
Qi Wei couldn't bear it and walked over, "President Lu..."
Lu Xueqing waved her hand, "Sister Qi, don't say anything more. I know you mean well! But you heard it too, he's already given in and is considering divorce. It seems we really have to end this..."
Qi Wei was speechless.
I'm really speechless.
She knew that Lin Yu had only said that to facilitate this meeting.
I never expected this girl to have such a dirty mind.
Qi Wei couldn't help but want to explain for Lin Yu when the secretary knocked and entered. "President Lu, the meeting is about to begin!"
Lu Xueqing quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears, picked up the documents, and walked outside.
No matter how much resentment she felt, she couldn't bring it into her work; this was a rule she set for herself.
Tonight, Hsiung Feng has an important meeting. All senior executives are staying for the meeting.
Lin Yu did not leave either.
Through the glass of the conference room, he saw his wife's face full of fatigue and worry.
Qi Wei walked over from the side and said, "The Hongluan Chamber of Commerce has launched a financial project and plans to enter Guanzhong. With its strong financial strength, it has attracted a large number of investment companies in just a few days. Our Xiongfeng's market share has been greatly squeezed. This time, it may really come down to a real fight!"
"The Red Phoenix Merchant Guild?" Lin Yu frowned, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent.
He didn't have a good impression of the Red Phoenix Merchant Guild. If they dared to bully his wife, he wouldn't hesitate to wipe them out completely this time!
...
At this time, at the residence of the Marquis of Guanzhong.
Xu Chengyi paced anxiously on the ground.
He had naturally heard about the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce's involvement in financial projects.
This time, it was Gongzi Xi who personally spearheaded the plan, intending to use financial projects to sweep across the entire Guanzhong market.
He sent someone to Yandu yesterday to visit Prince Xi, hoping to reach a cooperation agreement.
This is the Xu family's only chance!
The Xu family is now at its wits' end under Zhou Xiaotian's suppression.
Li Zhiyuan's arrival had given him hope, and the two were almost about to sign a contract.
I never expected that bastard Li Zhiyuan would stand me up!
We had a dinner planned, and were about to sign a contract, but he just disappeared. He won't answer my calls.
Later, through his informant in Yandu, he learned that the bastard had secretly run back to Yandu without saying a word.
Joining the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce was naturally put on hold!
These past few days, several bank managers have been blocking his doorstep, preventing him from leaving. Some have even gone to court to sue him, intending to seize his mansion.
If the lawsuit is successful, he will lose face big time.
He'll probably become the first Marquis of Guanzhong in history to have his house confiscated, completely disgracing his ancestors!
Just when he was in despair, he heard that the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce was coming to Guanzhong to do financial business, and naturally he wanted to seize this only opportunity!
He sent his assistant Liu Quan to Yandu yesterday. News should come back soon.
bell!
Just then, the phone rang.
Xu Chengyi was startled and quickly went over to take it.
It was his assistant, Liu Quan, who called!
"Hey, Liu Quan, how's it going? Has Young Master Xi agreed to cooperate?"
Liu Quan sighed, "My lord, I sat in front of the Li family's gate all day, but I didn't see Young Master Xi at all. They simply wouldn't see me!"
"What?" Xu Chengyi exclaimed anxiously, "I am, after all, the Marquis of Guanzhong, and you are my assistant. He won't even see me. Doesn't he give me, Old Xu, any face at all?"
Liu Quan said helplessly, "My lord, the world has changed. People only care about money now, and everyone knows that our Xu family has declined..."
Liu Quan choked up on the phone.
It seems that he has indeed suffered a lot of injustice this time.
A look of dejection crossed Xu Chengyi's face as he sighed, "Alright, let's just forget about it then! I still have dozens of acres of land back in my hometown. We can just go back and farm there. You can come back!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chengyi stared at the empty villa, feeling a sense of despondency.
At this moment, the butler came over, bowed, and said, "Master, I think this Young Master Xi might not necessarily look down on our Xu family!"
Xu Chengyi frowned. "What do you mean?"
The steward quickly said, "This old servant heard that the Li brothers were fighting fiercely among themselves, and since you, Lord Marquis, were at each other's throats with Li Zhiyuan, it's no wonder that Li Zhixi has some grudges!"
Xu Chengyi's eyes lit up, "You mean..."
The butler smiled and said, "My point is simple. Although you and Young Master Xi have no personal grudges, in his heart, you belong to Young Master Li, so he naturally keeps his distance from you. In my opinion, you might as well go to Yandu yourself this time, prepare generous gifts to show your sincerity, and I think Young Master Xi might change his opinion of you!"
