Su Ziqing nodded; she wasn't in a hurry anyway.
The secretary quickly made a cup of coffee and placed it on the desk.
Su Ziqing had her back to them and didn't know what was happening when she suddenly heard a voice coming from the other side, the secretary apologizing repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Chairman, I'm sorry."
Su Ziqing turned around and saw that the coffee had been spilled.
Su Tianhao's face darkened. "Bring in another cup."
The secretary tidied up the place first, and then hurriedly left the office.
Seeing Su Ziqing looking this way, Su Tianhao said, "This secretary isn't very quick-witted, but she's an excellent coffee maker. If it weren't for that skill, I would have fired her long ago."
"He's just a secretary. What about your second uncle's own secretary before?" Su Ziqing asked casually.
Su Tianhao casually replied, "Still here, but this secretary is in charge of making coffee... Have you not been resting well lately? Your dark circles are a bit heavy."
He changed the subject, and Su Ziqing naturally didn't ask any more questions about the secretary. She looked at him and nodded, "I'm a little jet-lagged. It's alright."
Su Tianhao sat opposite her. Although they were from different generations and she was only a few years older than his child, he felt that he just couldn't see through her.
Su Ziqing met his gaze. "Second Uncle, what's wrong? You don't look like you've been resting well either."
Su Tianhao sighed, "Didn't your second aunt go to the hospital last night...?"
Su Ziqing looked at him intently and said, "Mm."
“A perfectly good family has been ruined because of the old lady’s selfishness. How can I sleep?” Su Tianhao sighed heavily. “Ziqing, why did you suddenly go back to the countryside?”
It's here!
Seeing that he had talked so much and gone so far, Su Ziqing finally casually threw out the main point.
However, this saved her the trouble of having to speak up herself.
"I miss Grandpa." Su Ziqing's eyes reddened easily. Thinking of her deceased parents and the old man, she was indeed overcome with grief.
Tears immediately welled up in my eyes.
Su Tianhao quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it to her, "You silly child..."
“I dreamt that Grandpa told me he was in a lot of pain,” Su Ziqing sniffed, “and that he was coughing so hard his lungs felt like they were going to come out.”
The old man passed away suddenly, but he did cough frequently before he died.
Su Tianhao was about to comfort her and tell her not to think too much, but then he suddenly heard her say, "I also dreamed about my parents."
Su Tianhao froze slightly, but his expression remained natural, and he even managed to say, "It's almost Qingming Festival, so it's normal for you to dream about them."
Su Ziqing wiped away her tears. "My mother said they're having a tough time down there."
Su Tianhao: "..."
Su Ziqing continued her rambling, "Second Uncle, Qingming Festival is coming soon, have you set a date for tomb sweeping this year?"
"Okay, I'll have your second aunt check the almanac when I get home tonight."
“My mother said she died unjustly, and the underworld won’t send her to be reborn.” Su Ziqing sniffed again. “Second Uncle, why would I dream about these things?”
Su Tianhao's expression remained unchanged. "You're probably missing your family too much. Your parents died in an accident. Don't think about anything else."
“But the old lady always said that I was the cause of their deaths…” Su Ziqing looked up at him, “Second Uncle, what do you think?”
Su Tianhao and Su Ziqing locked eyes, but he felt a little guilty under her gaze. Fortunately, the secretary brought in another cup of coffee.
Su Tianhao took a sip of coffee, then let out a heavy sigh. "Ziqing, what's past is past."
"We can't get through!" Su Ziqing said calmly.
Su Tianhao thought for a moment.
Just as I thought Su Ziqing was about to say something, I heard her sigh softly, "How can I go on? My parents are gone, and my beloved grandfather is gone too..."
“You still have us,” Su Tianhao replied casually.
Having probed enough, Su Ziqing didn't want to play the family card with him anymore, so she changed the subject, "Second Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to hear my opinion on a project?"
Su Tianhao hummed in agreement. "I'll go get it and show it to you." He got up and walked towards his desk.
Suddenly, Su Ziqing said, "Yesterday a friend of mine said his car had a problem, and today the news came out that there is a problem all over the world and they are preparing to recall it."
Su Tianhao held the folder in his hands, but did not answer.
"Second Uncle."
Su Tianhao came to his senses and didn't want to admit it, but cold sweat was now breaking out on his back.
"This is the project I wanted to tell you about, in the current AI industry, but the Su family has never invested in such a project before. You see..."
Su Ziqing flipped through it, smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I know more about these things than you do, but AI is the current trend. If you have a keen eye, you can probably make a fortune."
After saying that, she changed the subject again, "Speaking of which, there are now several companies researching AI-powered cars, and I imagine that the accident rate will drop sharply in the future."
When she brought this up, she brought up her parents' car accident.
This time, she could clearly sense that Su Tianhao was slightly uncomfortable.
"By the way, Second Uncle, there's something I want to ask you," Su Ziqing suddenly said.
Su Tianhao looked at her. "What is it?"
“I was young when my parents had the accident. My grandfather was devastated. You and Uncle took care of everything.”
Su Tianhao maintained a normal expression and said, "Mm."
But he didn't realize that the more normal he acted, the more abnormal he became.
He showed not a trace of sadness.
"Did my parents really die in a car accident back then?" Su Ziqing stared intently into his eyes.
Su Tianhao met her gaze, both of them staring unblinkingly.
Su Tianhao took a sip of coffee before saying 'sadly,' "I remember it rained so hard that day..."
After recalling everything, Su Tianhao concluded that yes, they had died in a car accident.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement.
Su Tianhao was inwardly apprehensive. What was going on? Why did she seem interested in what happened back then?
More than a decade has passed, and she was so young back then...
Furthermore, because of the sudden and drastic change, she also had a fever at the time, so she should not remember many things.
Su Ziqing's phone rang, instantly restoring the somewhat awkward atmosphere to normal.
Su Ziqing answered the phone, "Okay, I'll head straight to the airport in a bit."
She hung up the phone and looked at Su Tianhao, "Second Uncle, you know more about the company than I do. You can make the decisions yourself. I'll just wait for my dividends."
She smiled after saying that, "Second Uncle won't be angry that I'm being lazy, will he?"
Looking at Su Ziqing, who had changed her attitude so quickly, Su Tianhao thought to himself that maybe he was really overthinking things.
He smiled and said, "You should learn a lot from him, and you'll need to help manage the company in the future."
