Ling Qiao stayed in the study room for the entire night. Originally, last night was an excellent opportunity, but unfortunately, he missed it.
After finishing his work, his wet clothes had already been dried by his body. He looked out the window and saw that the sky in the east was already slightly bright.
He dragged his tired body back to his bedroom. If it wasn't for Zhang Quan's call, he wouldn't be so tired. Lin Kexin had warned him that Zhang Quan had leaked the information at the wine table. They were about to take action, so he had no choice but to be on guard. On the surface, he was still polite and polite with Zhang Quan. If Zhang Quan did not fall out with him, then he would not act rashly.
However, it was only a matter of time before he would lose all decorum.
Opening the bedroom door, Ling Qiao softly entered the room and saw the big bed sleeping soundly. Calmly smiling, he could not help but feel envious at the same time. Yes, he envied her, he envied her for being able to sleep deeply and defensively, he envied her for being able to maintain the spirit of the world wherever she was.
Ling Qiao walked to the bedside and could not help but reach out to touch Shu Shu's cheek. At this moment, Shu Shu was sleeping soundly. Beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, perhaps she had covered them too much. He carefully pulled the covers down a little to her chest.
The corner of Shu Shu's mouth slightly sucked. She couldn't help murmuring, "Hubby, quickly save me …" Her voice was not loud, but it carried a hint of begging and pity. Her brows were tightly furrowed, but her appearance was still as peaceful as before. She looked very cute, yet also very heartbreaking.
Ling Qiao couldn't help but chuckle. Wife, look at you, you're even calling me husband in your dreams. How long are you going to be reserved for? His heart ached for her. He couldn't understand her helplessness during that period of time, so he had to protect her even more.
He was the CEO and shouldered the responsibility of the family. This was his mission, and Shu Shu, such a weak and innocent woman, wanted her to experience something that ordinary people would never experience. He was sorry, she blamed herself.
As he thought about this, Ling Qiao pulled away the quilt and laid down, reaching out to hug her. He was too tired, and needed to rest, even if it was only for a short period of time.
Shu Shu slept soundly. She only stretched out her legs in a daze and continued sleeping while nestling in his embrace.
Ling Qiao only rested for a short while before waking up. He simply washed himself and ordered himself to wake up. He even went downstairs to prepare breakfast. When he brought the breakfast into the room, the bed turned over in comfort.
Ling Qiao smiled, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "When you're awake, come over to eat. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left it for you."
Hearing about food, Shu Shu of course did not want to fall behind. She pulled back her blanket and got off the bed, sleepily walking up to Ling Qiao, "Wow, did you get up early to cook the porridge?" What time did you sleep last night? "
"I didn't sleep last night," while drinking the porridge, Ling Qiao looked up at her. "Cough, cough, cough …" The congee in her mouth was almost spat out. She was only wearing his shirt, but the worst part was that she didn't know it was so sexy. She couldn't stand it even if she stood up because it should have been last night's welfare.
"Yes, it's delicious. The porridge you've cooked can already match the standard of your porridge language." As she spoke, Shu Shu sat down on the edge of the bed.
Pfft! His pink underwear was revealed, causing Ling Qiao to lose his composure. "It's so nice to eat congee, why are you still sitting on the bed?" He finally had the urge to remind her, "Shu Shu, you really aren't alert to me. I've already left."
Ah!" Only then did ShuShu remember that she had only gone to bed after changing into a shirt. She must have fallen asleep in a daze. She immediately turned her back to Ling Qiao, "Who told me to wear your shirt? You can choose to close your eyes. " Actually, she was ready last night as well, but she didn't wait for him to arrive.
Ling Qiao shook his head, his gaze shifting to the food on the table. He swore to remind her that he was still alive. So lustful.
Shu Shu puffed out her lips. She put down her utensils and went to the wardrobe to retrieve her clothes. She then ran to the washroom. How embarrassing was this?
Ling Qiao laughed, only to see two slender legs running about on the floor at a high frequency. One of them was heavy, while the other was light. It was rather amusing.
After a while, Shu Shu came out and changed into her own clothes. Ling Qiao purposely said, "My shirt is still as pretty as ever …"
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him. "Drink your porridge!"
In the office, Ling Qiao was just sitting down to discuss Zhang Quan's situation with Deng Zijun when someone reported that Zhang Quan was on his way to the Ling Bai Group.
Okay, he's here in time. I'm waiting for him!
Zhang Quan was over a hundred years old, but his stamina was no less than that of a young man. He controlled Ling Bai's model agency, and he had as many beauties as he wanted. His connections were extremely vast, which was why Ling Qiao was afraid of him.
"Ling Qiao …" Before Zhang Quan even entered, his voice shook. He pushed open the door to the CEO's office and shouted, "Ling Qiao, your Uncle Zhang still hasn't come out to welcome you. He's too uncultured!" The moment he opened his mouth, Zhang Quan had the upper hand. He was reminding Ling Qiao that back then, he had fought with his grandfather together.
However, Ling Qiao was not scared by this crude bandit, every move of his was filled with the spirit of a leader, "Uncle Zhang, are you saying that my father's godson is lacking, or are you saying that you elders are useless in training?!"
"Hmph, Ling Qiao, you still have to call me Uncle Zhang after all. You have read the documents I showed you last night, as long as you put one hundred million on my account before 6 PM."
"One hundred million …" Do you think it's a hundred thousand? How could it gather 100 million so quickly?! " At least you were straightforward and didn't beat around the bush.
"Ling Qiao, I know you have it. My shares in Ling Bai are more than 100 million. I only want 100 million from you, that's what you get."
Since he was already here, then he might as well start. Ling Qiao suddenly stood up from his seat, the imposing aura he gave off was awe-inspiring, "You think you can fool me? Even if you ruin the Ling Bai Group's reputation and make it stink, I can still salvage it. You only made a contribution when Ling Bai Group was first established, I thank you, but you can't go overboard. "
"You …" After all, Zhang Quan was somewhat afraid. Although Ling Qiao was young, he was even more swift and decisive than the old CEO of that year. "This is what I deserve. Do I have the right to retire?"
"You need 100 million for your retirement? Every year, the group's dividends can support you. " That damnable Zhang Quan, did he think that he was extraordinary just because he was an elder? Did he think that just because he was an elder, his contribution would be greater than everything else?
Zhang Quan's momentum was greatly reduced. He had no choice but to admit that Ling Qiao was much more unyielding and unruly than he had imagined, "Ling Qiao, isn't that just one hundred million?" You can flick your fingers, but why bother with Uncle Zhang? "Uncle Zhang is getting old and is retiring soon. I have the right to sell my shares."
"Heh, Uncle Zhang, are you kidding? Once you sell your shares, those good brothers behind you will also try to follow suit. How much money does the Ling Bai Group have for you to pay for it?" Aren't you pushing me to my death?! If you are heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust. Zhang Jun is still working at my company, and hearing that his wife is about to give birth, do you want to hug your grandson?! "
Zhang Quan was stunned for a long time when he heard this. Heh, I had originally wanted to threaten Ling Qiao, but now I've been threatened by him instead, "Alright, kid. "If you dare to touch a single hair on my grandson, try it!"
Ling Qiao smiled and said, "Trying is very difficult?" As long as I make a phone call, your grandson who's still in his mother's womb for eight months will immediately come out and call you grandpa, do you want to? "
Zhang Quan's heart skipped a beat. What kind of secret arrangements did Ling Qiao make? "Hmph, Ling Qiao, since you are so fond of doing things in secret, it would be best for you to not let me find out. Otherwise, I will make you taste the same flavor!" Zhang Quan said something he didn't understand as he turned around and left.
Deng Zijun stepped forward to stop him, but was stopped by Ling Qiao, "Let him go, keep an eye on him!"
"Yes sir!"
In the quiet district, both of Ling Qiao's hands were in his pockets. His steps were steady and his eyes were like torches. The only thing that troubled him was his heart. Just before he left work, he received the news that Summer Young had arrived in T City.
It was so fast, Summer Young, oh no, he should be called Cherry now, he couldn't stand it any longer in just a few days, coming to T City to fight with him for a woman? This is outrageous, he must be tired of living.
According to reliable sources, Yintian was also representing the Yintian Corporation to learn from Ling Bai as a partner. In the eyes of the employees, this was a great thing.
After Hokkaido rescued ShuShu, there was no movement. Ling Qiao knew that they would definitely seal off the news, after all, it would affect the reputation of the successor to the Cherry Blossom Company. On the surface, Cherry Blossom Enterprise was still a friendly partner of the Ling Bai Corporation, but Ling Qiao clearly knew that this old man, Cherry Blossom, was just waiting for the right opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Ling Qiao remembered the essence of the liquid that Yintian Wu Yi had mentioned. Yintian Wu Yi would never fall out before the essence of the liquid made its way into the mainland market. And this summer, Young had most likely come to test the depth of the water.
Ling Qiao furrowed his brows. A single mistake on the part of him would result in him losing everything.
After much analysis, Ling Qiao decided to leave T city for a while. Firstly, Zhang Quan would not act rashly, he must be thinking of ways to get his son and daughter-in-law to a safe place; secondly, during the summer, Jan's purpose was obvious. It was obvious that he was going for ShuShu, and he would definitely not put ShuShu in danger.
Arriving at his house, Ling Qiao pulled his thoughts back. He did not want to bring home his work feelings. If he wanted to hide his thoughts, no one would be able to see through it.
After opening the door with the key, ShuShu stuck her head out of the kitchen. She was wearing a flowered apron and holding a spatula. "You're back. I'm cooking right now. Rest for a while, you'll be able to eat soon."
"Oh, take your time. No rush." Ling Qiao put down his briefcase and changed into a pair of slippers. Walking up to the dining table, he saw that it was not bad. The broccoli fried meat slices, steamed carp, chestnut chicken pieces, at least they looked pretty good.
ShuShu brought out the tomato and egg soup, "See, I'm also someone who can cook. Three dishes and one soup, give me some food."
Ling Qiao smiled and complimented him, "Mmm, it's really not bad. If you don't know how to fry fish, then use steamed fish. As for the rest, even if you can't eat them, the steamed fish should be able to," Ling Qiao impatiently scooped up a spoonful of soup and said, "It's too light, add some salt while it's still warm."
"Oh, oh, alright …"
