Su Tianhao closed the office door and drew the blinds.
The office suddenly became much darker.
Although no one is working here yet, it is estimated that this place will soon become someone else's new office, and the things left in the office will probably be changed.
In fact, apart from a few tables, chairs, and bookshelves, everything else is gone.
Su Ziqing gently wiped the desk, looking at the light dust on her hand, she thought to herself, "Things have really changed."
She glanced around, still imagining her grandfather working here, but she hadn't been here for so many years while he was alive, she really couldn't imagine what it was like now.
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly." Su Tianhao didn't notice anything unusual about Su Ziqing, nor did he care.
To say that he dotes on Su Ziqing is a joke; it's simply impossible.
Hearing him say that, Su Ziqing chuckled, "Smoothly?"
Su Tianhao felt a little awkward under her gaze, "Ziqing..."
"Things went quite smoothly for my second uncle; at most, we had some disagreements about personnel matters," Su Ziqing said calmly. "I wasn't so lucky."
"From sending him to a mental hospital, to having someone follow him, to sending people to intercept and rob him abroad, to pointing a gun at him in broad daylight..." Su Ziqing felt that this could all be made into a movie or TV series.
She didn't have an easy time inheriting this estate! Okay?!
Su Tianhao lowered his head somewhat awkwardly. Well, that seems to be the case.
But what did she want him to say?
He is now basking in the excitement of acquiring the property.
Su Ziqing walked to the office chair, sat down, spun around, and suddenly said, "Grandpa used to sit here to work, right?"
“Yes.” Su Tianhao looked up, then suddenly realized something, his expression changing slightly. “Ziqing, you…”
He didn't finish his sentence, but Su Ziqing understood. She gently patted the armrest of the chair, then glanced at him and asked, "Second Uncle, what are you worried about? Are you afraid I really want to be the chairman?"
After saying that, she laughed, "How could I argue with you, Second Uncle? Besides, I haven't finished my studies yet. I'm thinking of going back to school for further studies."
Hearing her say that, Su Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second Uncle won't let me down, will he?" Su Ziqing's lips curled up slightly.
Su Tianhao immediately put on a sorrowful expression, "As his son, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Hasn't the truth already come out?" Investigate? Is there still a need to investigate?
Su Tianhao choked.
Su Ziqing stared at Su Tianhao. Even though they were from different generations and she was just a young girl, Su Tianhao felt uneasy under her gaze, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Is it true that one is influenced by one's surroundings? Her presence with Gong Chengjue inevitably brings Gong Chengjue to mind.
Thinking of this, Su Tianhao showed the care that an elder should have, "Ziqing, you and Mr. Gong... are you really going to get engaged?"
She talked to him about the cause of the old man's death, and he talked to her about his marriage to Gong Chengjue.
She chuckled softly, then asked instead of answering, "Second Uncle, I have a question for you. If... I were just myself, without any backing or help, would you still pursue this matter?"
"Definitely!" There are no "what ifs"!
Su Tianhao wasn't stupid; he wouldn't answer that question.
But based on Su Ziqing's understanding of the Su family, he wouldn't. Although he wouldn't go along with them, he would only stand by and watch!
"As a son, one cannot lose one's human nature!!" Su Tianhao said sternly.
Su Ziqing smiled and said nothing more.
"In a few days, I will need to trouble you, Aunt, with the arrangements for my engagement to Mr. Gong." After all, matters like marriage still require the involvement of elders.
"No trouble at all, what trouble would a family have?" Su Tianhao immediately patted his chest to assure him. Su Ziqing's words had already made him understand that it was a done deal.
Su Ziqing did not respond to his words.
She was afraid that if she acted with tenderness, she wouldn't be able to continue the performance.
After a long silence in the office, Su Tianhao suddenly sighed, "Sigh, in order to reduce the company's losses and minimize the impact of this matter, I have no choice but to put aside my own family for the greater good!"
Su Ziqing looked up at him and asked, "Second Uncle, what should we do next? Just so you know, your uncle is already at the police station."
Su Tianhao understood immediately. Since they were already inside, it didn't matter what the reason for their entry was. What mattered was that they couldn't get out under what pretext!
"Ziqing, did you call the police?" he asked again.
Su Ziqing shook her head. "I told you, it wasn't me."
"Who could it be?" Su Tianhao frowned slightly. Other members of the Su family?
That's impossible.
Su Ziqing gave him a deep look. "Didn't Second Uncle already guess it in his office earlier?"
Su Tianhao narrowed his eyes slightly. "You mean, it really was your older brother who called the police and got himself arrested?"
"Maybe." But who cares? She just wants him to play along.
Her phone vibrated, and Su Ziqing stood up. "It's lunchtime. I have an appointment, so I'll be going now."
Su Tianhao nodded.
As Su Ziqing reached the door, she suddenly turned around. "Oh, by the way, Second Uncle, when you just spoke of righteous indignation, did you only kill one person, or... both?"
Su Tianhao froze. "Ziqing?"
"A life for a life," she uttered clearly.
Su Tianhao looked at her without saying a word.
Su Ziqing said nothing more and walked away.
If you want to sit in the chairman's position, don't you have to give something in return?
………………………
Gong Chengjue seemed to have no intention of concealing his identity at all, and directly instructed the driver to park the car at the entrance of the building, waiting openly for Su Ziqing to come down.
His high-profile behavior left Su Ziqing speechless. If she said something wrong, he might tell her that he had embarrassed her.
"Miss Su." Luo Jinhan opened the back door of the car.
Su Ziqing sat down directly inside, while Gong Chengjue was holding a laptop and busy with something.
She glanced at it briefly; the document was entirely in English.
To avoid discovering any trade secrets, she only glanced at it and then looked away.
"Wait a moment, let me finish reading this document," Gong Chengjue said earnestly, without even looking up.
"Oh, it's okay, you go ahead and do your thing." She wasn't in a hurry at all.
The car started moving, and the driver roughly knew where to go, but didn't ask about the destination.
Su Ziqing played with her phone out of boredom, glanced at the news, and discovered that her friend Luo Ziqi's scandalous news was getting out of control.
A few days ago, when we went to a bar together, Luo Ziqi was photographed by a reporter and made headlines, but the PR team quickly removed the trending topic. Now, however, it's back up again.
"Huh..." she suddenly exclaimed.
