"It's not that I don't want to help your friend, but Yuan Shuo can handle this," he said calmly, hoping she would understand.
Su Ziqing did understand; she understood that there were indeed balances between powerful families.
Of course, she understood and complied, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.
She forced a smile and said, "I know. I don't blame you." She was just thinking of other solutions.
So now she can no longer indulge in romantic moments with him.
After all, my friend's career prospects are being affected.
She opened the car door and was about to get out.
Gong Chengjue grabbed her hand. "What are you going to do?"
"I'll take a taxi back," she said casually.
"..." She also said she wasn't angry or blamed him?
How could she possibly be not angry or blame him?
Gong Chengjue glared at her. "I'll take you back."
Su Ziqing shook her head, "No need, I..." She wasn't actually going back to the company.
Just then, Gong Chengjue received a call from home. He lowered his voice and said, "I understand. I'm going back now."
Su Ziqing took advantage of the moment he was on the phone to break free from his hand.
"Stop." Why is this woman being so stubborn now?
Su Ziqing turned to look at him.
Gong Chengjue looked at her and said, "I'll take you." Did she take his words as a joke?
"It's not on my way," Su Ziqing replied normally. "Don't you have something to do? Go ahead and do it."
Gong Chengjue: "..."
Just then, an Airbus taxi happened to pass by, and Su Ziqing ran over, got in, and drove off.
Gong Chengjue: "..." Why does he feel like he's been abandoned?
As soon as Su Ziqing got in the car, she called Lu Linghong, "Senior brother..."
……………………
Su Ziqing didn't go back to the company, but went to find Lu Linghong. Lu Linghong was entertaining guests, but Su Ziqing was the kind of person who wouldn't talk about anything even if she had something to say. The fact that she was looking for him now meant that it must be something important.
So Lu Linghong directly asked Su Ziqing to come to the place where he was entertaining guests.
Su Ziqing didn't go directly to Lu Linghong. Instead, she ordered a drink and patiently waited for Lu Linghong to finish his social engagement.
During this time, she took out her phone and checked the news.
Then I realized that Luo Ziqi had been involved in one incident after another in the past few days...
If Luo Ziqi hadn't called, she probably wouldn't have known at all.
Just because of one sentence, Su Enen is going to retaliate against someone like this?
Oh.
"Ziqing." Lu Linghong came to find Su Ziqing after finishing his social engagements.
“Senior brother.” Su Ziqing stood up.
Seeing her preoccupied look, Lu Linghong said, "Let's go get a late-night snack."
Su Ziqing: "..." She had just finished eating not long ago.
"It's around here." Lu Linghong looked at her. "Want to have something to eat with your senior brother?"
The two went to the Cantonese teahouse next door. After ordering, Lu Linghong asked about the important matter, "So, is there anything I can help you with, Senior Brother?"
Su Ziqing coughed lightly upon hearing this, "Things are a bit tricky."
Lu Linghong looked helpless. "Who told me to ask for your help? You're only doing this out of respect."
Su Ziqing, "..."
"Alright, I was just kidding. What's the matter? Just say it, otherwise you wouldn't be looking for me at this hour," Lu Linghong said seriously.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement. "Senior brother, how is your relationship with Su Enen?"
At the banquet last time, Su Enen seemed to have a fairly good relationship with him.
Or should we say that Su Enen has a good relationship with the Lu family?
"What's wrong?" Lu Linghong immediately realized something. "Did she cause you trouble?"
"No, she's causing trouble for Ziqi." Su Ziqing didn't mention her own situation; for her, her friend's matter was more important right now.
She told Lu Linghong how Luo Ziqi had offended Su Enen, and then told him about the events of the past few days. Finally, she said helplessly, "The Su family may not be able to reach so far in other industries, but in the entertainment industry..."
“If it weren’t for protecting me, Ziqi wouldn’t have offended Su Enen because of me.” She looked at Lu Linghong. “Could you help me take the lead? I want to apologize to her.”
As long as Su Enen is satisfied with this, we can make things difficult for her however we want.
It's just a socialite trying to get revenge; let her get her way. Although she knows that once she brings it up, Su Enen will probably make things incredibly difficult for her.
"Apologize?" Upon hearing this, Lu Linghong's brows furrowed almost instinctively. "You apologize to Su Enen?"
“Yes, the whole thing started because of me. I hope she can be magnanimous…” Before she could finish speaking, Lu Linghong interrupted her, “Su Enen isn’t the kind of person who will let it go just because you apologize.”
If Su Enen, who is spoiled and pampered, could be forgiven with just an apology, she wouldn't be on the list of people who "cannot be offended".
“I’ll help you communicate about this.” Lu Linghong looked at her.
"No need, senior brother..." Her original intention was to have Lu Linghong act as a bridge so that she could meet Su Enen, rather than involving Lu Linghong in this matter.
Lu Linghong took a bite of the chicken foot, rolled his eyes at her, and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"
"Really, it's not necessary." Su Ziqing refused very seriously. "If you're not willing to help me make the connection, then forget it, I'll go find her myself."
As she spoke, Su Ziqing was about to stand up and leave.
"My little darling, I promise, okay?" Lu Linghong was truly at his wits' end with her, glaring at her. "I'll do whatever you want, alright?"
Su Ziqing smiled and sat back down. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
“I remember you said last time that your sister and Su Enen are friends, so your sister should know her preferences, right? I’ll pick out a gift and then go apologize.” Su Ziqing lowered her stance, which made Lu Linghong feel a little uncomfortable.
He put down his chopsticks. "Ziqing, you don't need to do this..."
Su Ziqing smiled, "No, it was because I was too immature before."
I forgot this is the capital city.
Lu Linghong frowned.
"One must be able to bend and stretch." If it were her own business, she certainly wouldn't bow down to Su Enen; she would just stand up to her. But now that Ziqi is in trouble, she can't stubbornly stick to her temper and argue anymore.
Lu Linghong called his sister and was teased by her, who thought he had finally figured things out and knew how to make girls happy. So he immediately told her about Su Enen's hobbies.
Lu Linghong also asked his sister to arrange for Su Enen to meet up tomorrow.

Gong family
When Gong Chengjue returned home, he found that some members of the Gong family had gathered, but their eyes were filled with anger as they looked at him.
Gong Chengjue was puzzled, but he kept a cold face and looked at Grandpa Gong, "Grandpa."
"Come into the study with me." Old Master Gong tapped his cane angrily and turned around.
