"Hmm..."
Li Susu let out a soft moan, her eyelids trembled, and she slowly opened them.
The pungent smell of disinfectant entered her nasal cavity, causing her to frown slightly.
What came into view was a blanket of white snow and Chen Ke's anxious face.
"Arno, you're finally awake!"
Chen Ke reached out and touched Li Susu's forehead. Only after confirming that she did not have a fever did he feel completely relieved.
"How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Chen Ke asked with concern, his eyes filled with worry.
Li Susu's head was still a little dizzy, as heavy as if it were filled with lead. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, trying to relieve the discomfort.
"I...I don't know either." Li Susu's voice was a little hoarse. "I just feel...very uncomfortable."
She tried to recall what happened before she lost consciousness, but all she remembered was a dizzying sensation before she lost awareness.
"The doctor said it was caused by overwork and too much mental stress," Chen Ke explained. After a pause, he couldn't help but advise her, "Arno, you've been pushing yourself too hard lately."
He looked at Li Susu with heartache; this woman always pushed herself too hard.
“How about… we go back to Z country first?” Chen Ke tentatively suggested. “Your health is the most important thing. We can leave the cooperation matters to others first.”
He hoped that Li Susu could take a break from work and rest for a while.
Li Susu shook her head and rejected Chen Ke's suggestion.
“No.” She said firmly, “The cooperation has only just begun; we can’t give up halfway.”
“This collaboration is CN Financial’s best opportunity to access the Chinese market, and I can’t miss it.”
She has already sacrificed so much for this opportunity, and she absolutely cannot give it up easily.
Chen Ke sighed helplessly, knowing that further persuasion would be futile, and relented:
"All right."
"But you must promise me that you will take good care of your health."
Three days later.
Conference room of the Li Group.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire city.
Li Susu pushed open the conference room door, her high heels clicking crisply on the floor.
Today, she wore a smart black business suit that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her long hair was pulled back, revealing her slender neck, making her look elegant and confident.
As soon as Li Susu stepped into the conference room, her gaze met Fu Xingzhou's.
He sat at the head of the conference table, dressed in a dark gray suit, appearing exceptionally calm and reserved.
When she saw him, Li Susu's heart inexplicably raced, vibrating in her chest like a drumbeat.
A strange sense of tension welled up inside her, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
She quickly looked away, took a deep breath, and tried to compose herself.
Walking to the conference table, Li Susu gracefully sat down and placed the documents in her hand on the table.
She glanced around the conference room without making a sound, but didn't see Li Yulin.
"Where is President Li?" Li Susu looked at Fu Xingzhou and asked calmly, "It's not appropriate for President Li not to attend such an important meeting, is it?"
Fu Xingzhou's gaze remained fixed on Li Susu, unblinking.
From the moment she walked in, he felt a wave of familiarity wash over him.
Although her appearance was different from Li Susu in my memory, her mannerisms and expressions were strikingly similar to Li Susu's.
Especially her tone of voice, and the confidence and composure that she exuded, made him increasingly believe that the woman in front of him was Li Susu.
