Xia Yang had been waiting at Ling Bai Group since early in the morning. He sent several emails to Ling Qiao's assistant, but there was no response. He knew Ling Qiao had been back for quite a while, so he decided to just wait there himself.
It was time for work, and there were a lot of people coming and going in the hall. Shu Shu quickly saw Xia Yang who was sitting on the sofa, but she didn't see her yet.
It had been a while since they had last seen each other. In the summer, Yang was still as handsome as ever. If they hadn't met before, it would have been impossible to see the dark side of his heart.
He should be looking for Ling Qiao, Shu Shu thought to herself. She lowered her head and blended into the crowd, silently going around and entering the office.
Sitting in her seat, her heart pounding, she couldn't calm down.
"Shu Shu, these paintings will be based on yesterday's style." The chief brought in the day's work.
"Alright." She went forward to catch it, but she couldn't hold it properly. The file fell to the ground with a thud.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"It doesn't matter. You're not looking well today. Are you feeling well?"
"No, I was in a hurry just now," she said, holding up the documents in her hand. "I'll make it."
"Yeah, give it to me before you get off work."
"Alright."
Two female colleagues walked over, talking as they walked, "Hey, do you see the person on the sofa by the door? Is that Xia Yang from the Mage Kai animation studio? "So handsome, those eyes of his, oh, so handsome."
"It seems like it is, but it also seems like it isn't. Actually, I don't have any impression of Xia Yang anymore. I only remember movies, who would still remember the creator?"
"I think so. I heard that he went to develop in Japan. Maybe he's back now."
"Since you have the chance, why don't you hurry and chase after him?"
"Stop teasing me."
Shushu got up and poured some water, staying away from some of her colleagues who were talking. She made herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
In the CEO's office on the top floor, the moment Ling Qiao took off his suit, Guo Qing came over to report that they had arrived at Ling Bai early in the morning.
"Let him come up."
"Alright."
In the lobby, the receptionist was smiling as she guided Summer Young into the elevator.
Upon seeing him, Xia Yangyang smiled for the first time, before opening his arms to hug Ling Qiao, "Old friend, long time no see. How have you been?"
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Ling Qiao also responded enthusiastically, "I hope you've been well."
That's fake.
Xia Yang hugged Ling Qiao and patted his back. He heard that there was a long wound underneath the shirt.
No one could tell how intense the battle between the two of them was.
"I should call you …" Ling Qiao deliberately paused for a moment. "Young Master Yintian, right?" Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at the four bodyguards. This guy, is he here to discuss business, or for what?
Xia Yang nodded in tacit agreement and said with a smile, "CEO Ling, you're really a busy man. I've been here for several days already, and I couldn't find your time no matter what. Sorry for intruding and disturbing you."
Ling Qiao also began to exchange pleasantries with him, "Not at all, I should be the one looking after you. Sit, please sit."
After settling down, Xia Yang also went straight to the point. "I came here this time to discuss the packaging and release of the new Cherry Tian products. We have placed great hopes on this fine liquid. It has already been sold in Japan and it has also sold very well. So we want to open up the Chinese market as soon as possible."
Xia Yang's speech was very professional, it didn't have the gloomy temperament from before, instead, it sounded even more sunny and candid.
Ling Qiao didn't know how Crimson Tian Wu Yi brainwashed his good grandson, nor did he know how he explained the matter of the essence of the medicine to his grandson. In short, he felt that it was strange.
The shopping mall was like a battlefield. If one was not careful, they would encounter a trap set up by others. If you fell down, others would naturally climb up.
He had made a mistake when he was working with the Sakura Company, but now, he had to continue working with them. Ling Qiao was not that stupid.
"Sakura Massage Ointment sales have been climbing, but for the Chinese market, Sakura is a new brand after all. I suggest we start with brands and then promote products, don't you think?"
"It's precisely because the Massage Ointment is good that we have to follow up on it. I've already brought over the product promotion suggestions. Could it be that when CEO Ling deals with other people, he doesn't follow the customer's instructions?" "If word of this gets out, your company's large customer base will cause people to panic."
Ling Qiao raised an eyebrow and received the document. "Let me take a look first." He casually flipped through a few pages. The requirements for promoting the essence liquid were very detailed. Clearly, he had come prepared.
"Guo Qing, take it for the record."
"Alright."
The corner of Xia Xia Xia's mouth raised into a victorious smile. He knew that Ling Qiao would definitely accept it. How could a profit-seeking businessman ignore a business with fame and fortune?!
"I'll contact you after our internal discussion has finished." Ling Qiao said calmly.
Xia Yang nodded with a smile. "Alright, President Ling has personally spoken, so I am relieved. I will not be leaving City T for a short period of time. Contact me anytime. I will leave first. You are busy."
Ling Qiao gave him a cold and solemn look. It was no longer the same.
"Take care, farewell!"
After summer had passed and everyone had left, Ling Qiao noticed that one of the bodyguards was actually the assassin who escaped with a wound that day. Although he wore sunglasses and his eyes were indiscernible, that person's hooked nose was very distinctive.
Deng Zijun came in from outside, "President, are they here to demonstrate their strength?"
Ling Qiao sneered, "They are just playing a double game. While trying to get close as collaborators, they are also intentionally revealing their killing intent. Zi Jun, what has Yang been doing in T City these past few days? "
"Nothing special. The anime room is running around and the apartment is in a daze."
Ling Qiao concentrated, anxiety welling up within his heart. Could it be that Xia Yang was also being used by Yidan Wu Yi? He wasn't that stupid!
However, from the way he spoke and the way he handled things, he didn't seem like that person at all. Rather, it seemed to be Yintian Wu Yi's avatar.
In fact, Ling Qiao had initially admired Xia Yangqing. A freshman in society who had started a business from scratch and managed the Mage Kai Cartoon Room so well in just a few years, he truly did have some skills.
He worked with the Cartoon Room in the Cartoon Cinema, and the success of the film was a testament to his insight that summer was an excellent seedling. Of course, this could also be due to him inheriting the Cherry Blossom Family's business genes.
He was not worried about anything else. Friendly cooperation meant that both fame and fortune were things that he was willing to do, but he would absolutely not do anything that would harm the nation.
Guo Qing knocked on the door and entered, "CEO, Yintian's case …"
"Keep it. The Yakichi case can only be delayed now."
"CEO, there's another tricky matter. Director Zhang and CEO Chen's shareholders are going to Lin City. I guess they are going to hold a secret meeting because all the shareholders have brought their secretaries with them."
"Is the news reliable? "How did you get it?"
"To tell you the truth, Zhang Quan had a mistress living in my district. Yesterday, after work, we both went to the same elevator. Of course, Zhang Quan didn't recognize me and was drunk. "I went to work this morning and specifically investigated. There are indeed a few shareholders who are no longer in City T. As for whether or not they have gone to Lin City, I do not know."
Ling Qiao definitely wouldn't allow these old fellows to pass through them secretly. "Check again. If you really do go to Lin City, you'll definitely have a residence record. You can tell me about it after you confirm it."
"Alright."
Whether or not a large group of people had gone to Lin City or not, they immediately found out. These old fellows had used the summer vacation as an excuse to go to Lin City, but they didn't know what to discuss behind the scenes.
Ling Qiao decided to make a trip to Lin City, but he was worried that Shu Shu would be left alone here.
"No, I can't leave. You don't even know how many days you'll have to go." Hearing the news that Ling Qiao wanted to bring her to Lin City, Shu Shu immediately objected. It didn't matter if Ling Chen followed her when she wasn't at work, but now that he was at work, she couldn't catch fish in the sun for three days.
Ling Qiao thought for a moment, then said: "Then go back to your house and stay there. I'll have Little Wang take you there every day."
"But your mother doesn't like me."
"She's her, you're you. It doesn't matter what she says. I'm the one who wants to marry you, not her."
"Then... "Okay, when are you leaving?"
"I'll leave today." As soon as they found the hotel they were staying in, they would go directly there.
"So sudden?! "Alright then, take good care of yourself. I'll go to my house to pack up some clothes after work and then go back to your house."
"It's our house."
"Alright, alright, I'm busy. I don't want to fight anymore."
"Yes."
He had to go to Lin City, he had to settle down outside the city, and let Shu Shu stay at home. She had to drive to and from work, and she had to give her a bodyguard, so she should be fine.
He hoped that he could use the fastest way to deal with those old fellows.
ShuShu sat in front of her desk, the drawing in her hands was almost complete, she could submit it with a few modifications, but her heart was in turmoil again. Ling Qiao did not say what matter he was going to Lin City for, she did not ask, did it have anything to do with Xia Yang? What did Xia Yang want to do after coming here and staying so long?
The hand holding the pencil trembled a little, and she admitted that she was afraid.
"Shu Shu, are you almost done?" The chief came over with another booklet in his hand.
"Oh, it's almost done. Five more minutes."
"Hey, you are really fast and efficient. Here is a small book with 30,000 words, it's going to be published in the magazine. You can draw a picture without any requirements."
"Alright." Busy, busy.
"Shu Shu, where are you?" Shen Xiaoxuan made a call.
ShuShu held her phone and silently walked to the side. Seeing that Hu Xin was busy in the kitchen, she whispered, "She's at Ling Qiao's house, Ling Qiao isn't there, and neither is his father. It's just his mother and me."
"Why did this Ling Qiao leave you alone at home?!"
