Chapter 159 Heart to Heart
"I believe that with President Su's ability, Yunran Company's building will once again stand tall on Yunran Avenue in the imperial capital in a decade or so. But there's no need to retrace the steps we took in our past lives. It's better to speed up and achieve our goals in one go." Lu Jingyou had indeed thought about these things in advance. He knew her goals and was willing to lend a hand. "I will make arrangements in the imperial capital in advance, purchase that piece of land, and then fully restore your Yunran Building. I think our cooperation will be very smooth."
"I understand what Mr. Lu means, but I don't want to do this." Su Jiaojiao refused without thinking. "Mr. Lu also said that there was a fire in the Yunran Building and I'm missing. My life or death is uncertain. Since such a thing has happened, why should I restore it? Am I going to be trapped again?"
Rather than taking shortcuts, she prefers to slowly accumulate wealth through time and experience.
For her, the long experience is like a solid foundation, giving her the confidence to face all kinds of setbacks and storms at any time.
"If you're bothered by this, think of a new name for your new company." Lu Jingyou felt that she didn't need to worry about it. He was determined to protect her for the rest of her life and would never let something like this happen again. "What I mean is, we should seize the initiative and avoid taking detours."
"Mr. Lu, since the end of this road isn't beautiful, I no longer have any obsession with it." Su Jiaojiao pondered, "I might set up a clothing company, but I haven't decided how to develop it yet."
When it is three parts black, it still has bones; when it is completely red, it will turn into gray.
There is more than one way to live life. Why should she be obsessed with her achievements in her past life? Achievement and pain complement each other.
"I understand your thoughts, but I hope you will still seriously consider our cooperation." Lu Jingyou didn't expect her to refuse, because cooperating with him would be beneficial to her in every way.
What bad intentions could he have towards her?
"With Mr. Lu's ability and financial resources, there is no need for him to cooperate with me." Su Jiaojiao didn't think that he was impressed by her ability.
There are many capable people around him, so he doesn't need to seek far away or the weak over the strong. He has the Jiahe Group behind him and has a lifetime of experience. It is much easier for him to succeed than for her.
But she didn't want to offend the person in front of her, so she said calmly, "Now I just want to study hard, get into a good university, make some money, and take good care of my mother. As for the future, we'll talk about it later."
She knew that when she was at her lowest point, all the conveniences everyone gave her had a purpose.
It will become a cause of inconvenience for her in the future.
For example, Qin Shuang. In her previous life, Qin Shuang promoted her, brought her to the imperial capital, and gave her a platform to display her talents.
However, because of this, she met Qin Xiuming and experienced all that love, hate, and passion. If she and Qin Shuang had never met, she would not have experienced that painful experience.
If she had never met Qin Shuang in this life, she would not be here, waiting for the news of Qin Shuang waking up.
But the gears of fate made her meet Qin Shuang again, and she accepted Qin Shuang's help.
That's because she knew about her past with Qin Xiuming, and she is still trying to avoid her relationship with Qin Xiuming.
Lu Jingyou is different.
In her previous life, her relationship with Lu Jingyou was limited to that of a boss and an assistant.
He did not give her much convenience, but instead made things difficult for her.
If she accepted Lu Jingyou's olive branch in this life, she would not be able to predict what would happen in the future.
Even though his cooperation with her seemed to be flourishing and beneficial with no harm.
Who knows what kind of cause and effect is hidden behind these colorful flowers that she cannot bear.
Su Jiaojiao has always been a pessimistic person. She doesn't believe in free lunch.
In her eyes, any gift has a hidden price tag, and she will have to pay it back one by one at some point in time.
This is why she doesn't want to owe anyone favors. For example, she made leather jackets for Wu Youliang and gave local specialties to truck drivers.
In fact, the true reflection deep in her heart is that as long as it can be solved with money, she will never use favors.
"I know this is a bit sudden for you. Take your time to think about it. There's no need to rush to answer me." Lu Jingyou said disapprovingly, "You've just entered your second year of high school, and you don't have that much energy to think about these things. Even if I want to restore the Yunran Building, it won't be done in one or two years. Let's plan it slowly."
"Mr. Lu, let's not talk about whether we can cooperate in the future, but the premise of cooperation must be equality." Su Jiaojiao certainly wouldn't be led by him. "So, before we reach a cooperation agreement, I also want to observe Mr. Lu's style of work. As long as Mr. Lu can stay out of my affairs, don't ask questions, respect, trust, understand and support me, I think we may still have a chance to cooperate, but definitely not now, at least five years from now."
To put it bluntly, the essence of cooperation is the exchange of interests and sharing of resources.
She doesn't have enough interests and resources to match Lu Jingyou now, so what can she use to cooperate with Lu Jingyou?
Any unequal cooperation has ulterior motives.
From a business perspective, she didn't want to cooperate with Lu Jingyou, let alone speculate on Lu Jingyou's motives and purposes.
She only believes in herself and wants to do what she wants to do.
As he was speaking, Qin Xiuming knocked on the door outside: "Brother, are you asleep?"
"What's the matter?" Lu Jingyou opened the door.
"Grandpa called you several times but you didn't answer. He asked you to call him back." Qin Xiuming saw Su Jiaojiao sitting on the balcony at a glance. He was stunned. It was already past eleven o'clock, and they were still huddled in the room chatting?
Su Jiaojiao ignored him and was cold and reserved.
But in the middle of the night, she was chatting with Lu Jingyou by candlelight...
"Mr. Lu, I'm going back first." Su Jiaojiao didn't look at Qin Xiuming and went back to her room. She knew that Qin Xiuming would definitely think of something else. No matter what he thought, she was not his.
"Brother, you guys?" Qin Xiuming couldn't believe his eyes.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone, what are they doing?
Don't tell him they are talking about work and they don't have much work to talk about.
"Jiaojiao came in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring any change of clothes. I bought her a few things, and she felt bad about it, so she also bought me a bag and sent it to me." Lu Jingyou said expressionlessly, "We chatted for a while, and I didn't expect it to get this far."
Qin Xiuming: “…”
He bought her clothes?
She bought him a bag?
Has it come to this between them?
"I'll call grandpa right now. It's so late, you should go back and rest!" Lu Jingyou ignored his surprised look and picked up the phone to call Grandpa Lu.
Qin Xiuming retreated quietly. When he reached Su Jiaojiao's door, he wanted to knock on the door and go in to say a few words to her, but he put his hand down mid-air and turned downstairs.
He was not jealous, he just wanted to tell her that Lu Jingyou had a blind date in the imperial capital and was not single.
As a little girl, it’s better for her to stay away from Lu Jingyou.
But Su Jiaojiao would definitely think that he was meddling in other people's business, so why should he bother himself?
