Su Ziqing blinked, put her sunglasses on her head, took Lu Linghong's phone, and saw what was written on it...
"Special hire?" Su Ziqing lowered her voice and looked at Lu Linghong with a serious expression.
Lu Linghong's face was completely calm. "So you see, many things in life can't be avoided just because you don't see me. My life isn't as...ordinary as it seems?"
Does he have some misunderstanding about the word "ordinary"?
Lu Linghong's intention was to let Su Ziqing figure things out on her own and stop dwelling on the previous incident.
Fearing it might backfire, he didn't say much.
Su Ziqing handed the phone back to him. "Is Senior Brother Feng still... there?" That notoriously difficult-to-manage triangle area, even internationally.
Lu Linghong hummed in agreement. "He didn't say what it was about, only that he wanted me to find someone for him. Well, I just remembered, you used mercenaries when you contacted Gong Chengjue last time?"
No one had mentioned the name Gong Chengjue for a month, so hearing it suddenly made Su Ziqing feel a little dazed.
She lowered her head, held the glass in both hands, and took a small sip; the cool water refreshed her.
"Mmm," she replied.
"Then can you introduce me?" Lu Linghong assumed that Su Ziqing wanted to meet him privately for a transaction.
Su Ziqing looked at him and asked, "Did you bring your laptop?"
"No."
What do you need a computer for?
It wasn't far from her company, so she stood up and said, "Let's talk at my company; I need to use a computer." Besides, it was really hot here.
Lu Linghong stood up, then paused abruptly, his eyes fixed on what was behind Su Ziqing.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Linghong simply said three words, "Gong Chengjue".
Su Ziqing didn't show much emotion; on the contrary, she remained quite calm. Turning around, she saw Gong Chengjue in a gray striped suit.
Gong Chengjue and she seemed to be on the same wavelength, as Gong Chengjue also saw Su Ziqing when he sat down.
Despite being separated by floor-to-ceiling windows, their gazes met without any obstruction.
Su Ziqing left naturally and said to Lu Linghong, "Let's go."
Lu Linghong hummed in agreement. The two of them needed to pass through inside to leave. Lu Linghong whispered in her ear, "Do you need some cover or something?"
Su Ziqing chuckled, "Do you think I'm a child?" With that, she walked inside first.
To Lu Linghong's surprise, Su Ziqing did not pretend not to see Gong Chengjue; on the contrary, she walked towards him.
Lu Linghong, “…” What does she want to do?
Gong Chengjue has powerful connections, and these connections are influential figures in City A.
Su Ziqing greeted Gong Chengjue and the people around him, but that was all.
Then, without disturbing the two of them any longer, she left gracefully and tactfully.
Well, she's a mature Su Ziqing now. She won't pretend to see it anymore. Besides, the more strained her relationship with Gong Chengjue is, the more obvious it will be. Her current indifference is more convincing, isn't it?
Gong Chengjue watched Su Ziqing's departing figure; he hadn't expected her to come forward...
He thought she would pretend not to see him, after all, a month ago in the capital, she had said she would never see him again.
"Mr. Gong?" The person next to him looked at him. "You and Miss Su..."
Gong Chengjue said calmly, "Friends." But only temporarily.
The other party wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
Gong Chengjue wanted to be serious, but he couldn't stop himself from getting distracted. How come Lu Linghong was in City A again?
Luo Jinhan, who was outside the coffee shop, was also surprised to see Su Ziqing and Lu Linghong.
"Miss Su."
Su Ziqing simply nodded slightly without saying anything.
Luo Jinhan: "..." Why do I have the feeling that Miss Su has become cold?
When Su Ziqing brought Lu Linghong back to the company, the two came out of the elevator talking in hushed tones. The handsome man and beautiful woman were a sight to behold.
However, at this moment, no one had the mind or the courage to gossip about Su Ziqing's private affairs.
And right now, Mr. Liu is throwing a tantrum in the office.
"Mr. Liu, Miss Su is out for the time being. Please come up later if you need anything." The secretary's voice rose a few decibels.
Su Ziqing and Lu Linghong exchanged a glance, then Su Ziqing stepped into the office first, looking at President Liu in the office with a slightly cold gaze, "What's going on?"
"Su Ziqing, what do you mean?!" Boss Liu turned around directly and shouted Su Ziqing's full name.
Su Ziqing bypassed him directly, saying, "I have guests now. We can talk about it later."
"Su Ziqing, many people on the board do not agree with your plan to withdraw from the real estate industry. Do you think you can make the decision on your own?"
Mr. Liu's face contorted with rage.
This matter has been dragging on for a month.
"Secretary, please call security." Su Ziqing didn't want to show any consideration to President Liu.
"Mr. Liu, Miss Su has guests at the moment, you should leave first," the secretary advised Mr. Liu again.
However, Mr. Liu refused to cooperate, asking, "Am I still a shareholder in your eyes?"
Seeing his blatant disrespect, Su Ziqing gave a cold laugh and took out a document from the drawer. "Liu Zaiqiang, do you think I don't know about your nephew's secret takeover of sand kickbacks? Do you think I don't know about your daughter earning kickbacks from shops under the Su Group's real estate?"
These two examples alone caused Liu Zaiqiang's expression to change.
Su Ziqing stared at him coldly.
Liu Zaiqiang pursed his lips, then said nothing, turned and left the office first.
"Bring in two cups of coffee." Su Ziqing's mind was completely focused on Feng Xixuan's matter at the moment.
Lu Linghong pulled up a chair and sat down opposite her desk. "Is the Su family planning to withdraw from the real estate industry?"
Su Ziqing looked at him and smiled, "Trade secret."
Lu Linghong: "..."
Lu Linghong wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
Then he saw Su Ziqing open a website...
Lu Linghong frowned slightly. "You found this online? How can you trust this kind of thing?"
Su Ziqing was speechless. "We live in a digital age now. I found it here last time."
Lu Linghong felt he didn't know Su Ziqing very well anymore, so he coughed lightly and asked, "How did you find this website?"
Su Ziqing glanced at him. "Senior Brother Feng told me."
Lu Linghong, who had just suffered a critical hit, said, "My senior brother never told me this."
"Perhaps in Senior Brother Feng's eyes, you're just a good boy?" Su Ziqing couldn't help but smile.
Everyone has a different background and concerns.
As for why Feng Xixuan didn't mention this website to Lu Linghong... it was just something he mentioned casually back then.
However, she has a good memory and remembered everything in the end.
As she typed, she said, "We can only communicate online, and there's no guarantee of an immediate reply."
Lu Linghong hummed in agreement, looking at her familiar manner, "Is this how you found it last time?"
"I guess so. There are other ways, but the people who found Gong Chengjue back then were from this group of mercenaries," Su Ziqing replied.
