Chapter 168: Li Ziyu’s Resolution, Su Lin Moves to a New Home!
Li Weifeng did not expect the Li family’s crisis to arrive so swiftly and fiercely. At this moment, he was glaring at Li Ziqi in anger, “Tell me, how did you assure me before I handed the company over to you?”
Li Ziqi knelt on the ground, shivering. He hadn’t expected the Li Corporation to encounter so many problems in just a few days.
Although Li Ziqi lacked competence, he was adept at shifting blame. He whispered, “Grandfather, these are all traps set by that woman Li Ziyu for me. There’s nothing I could do. No one in the company listens to me, from department managers to janitors. I can’t order them around at all.”
“And those partners, they came saying they had cooperated with Li Ziyu. Now that Li Ziyu is no longer the general manager, they want to terminate their contracts.”
“Grandfather, don’t you find these events too strange? In just a few days, I can’t control the employees, and today, someone is short selling our Li Corporation’s stocks with a massive amount of capital.”
Li Weifeng’s anger gradually subsided. After pondering for a while with his eyes closed, he opened them and said, “Go call Ziyu here. I have some words to speak with her.”
Li Ziqi looked dejected, knowing his days as the general manager were numbered. He hadn’t expected Li Ziyu to have so many moves up her sleeve, not making a move until it was thunderous, leaving him no time to catch his breath.
Li Ziqi left the inner courtyard to summon Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu appeared indifferent. She was unaware of Su Lin short selling the stock market, so she was surprised that Li Ziqi, the useless one, couldn’t hold on for long.
Looking at his usually obedient granddaughter, Li Weifeng felt sentimental. He didn’t know when Li Ziyu had become so strong-willed and unstoppable, to the point where he now had to be wary of her.
“Ziyu, must you go to this extent?”
Li Ziyu looked up, somewhat puzzled at Li Weifeng, “Grandfather, what are you talking about? What extent?”
Li Weifeng snorted coldly, “At this point, you’re still playing dumb with me? Do you think the company can’t operate without you?”
Li Ziyu shook her head, “Grandfather, I’ve never thought that way. The company can operate without anyone, let alone me.”
Li Weifeng slammed the table and roared, “Then why are you pulling these tricks behind the scenes? Making employees disobedient, causing partners to make trouble at the company, and getting people to short sell the company’s stocks, huh?”
Li Ziyu was taken aback, “Grandfather, is that what’s happening?”
“I’ve realized that the one in the Li family who is most like me is you. Even at this time, you’re still playing dumb with me,” Li Weifeng said furiously.
However, Li Ziyu genuinely looked confused at this moment. She had only instructed the company’s staff not to cooperate with Li Ziqi, giving him some trouble, but she knew nothing about partners terminating contracts or short selling Li Corporation’s stocks.
Yet, Li Ziyu quickly realized these were actions others might not be capable of, but that didn’t mean Su Lin couldn’t do them. This was likely his doing. It could help her and also benefit him—a win-win situation.
Li Ziyu felt warmth in her heart. She had been confined for so long, with no one visiting her except for Su Lin, who came to see her and take her side.
On Su Lin’s side, he wasn’t constantly monitoring the stock market. He left that to professional traders and was currently driving with Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan to their new home.
“Su Lin, we really got lucky this time. The villa is only two kilometers from Donghai University and about seven or eight kilometers from Quan Le Guo. How about that? Isn’t the location great?” Lin Xiaowan said, seeking praise.
Su Lin smiled, “The location is indeed great, not too far or too close to Donghai University, just right. I thought we would have to buy in the suburbs. I didn’t expect to find a villa in the city.”
“Hehe, Xiaoyu and I searched for several days before finding it. That villa was somewhat secluded, so it had been on the market for a while. But it was exactly what we wanted, so we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it.”
Xia Shiyu nodded, “Su Lin, there’s a bamboo forest there. It’s not easy to be discovered while practicing martial arts, and it’s quite convenient.”
Su Lin chuckled, “That really sounds like a good place.”
A few minutes later, they arrived at the Dongjiang Villa Area, and Su Lin’s car drove all the way to a rather secluded villa surrounded by decorative bamboo, a serene location.
Su Lin liked the special location at first sight.
“How about it? Isn’t it beautiful? There’s also a yard inside, about 100 square meters, which I think is definitely enough for practicing swordsmanship,” Lin Xiaowan introduced.
Su Lin’s car stopped in front of the villa, with the address plate reading “Dongjiang Villa Area, Block 087.”
The three got out of the car. “This is the only fully furnished house in the Dongjiang Villa Area, mainly because it was hard to sell. Xiaoyu and I just added some furniture and got rid of some things we didn’t like, so it’s ready to move into.”
Su Lin gave a thumbs up, “Finding such a convenient place in three days, Xiaowan, Xiaoyu, you did a great job.”
“Hehe, we just got lucky.”
“Ha-ha, let’s unload the things and then go in to pick rooms.”
“Okay~!”
After cultivating internal energy, Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu were no longer fragile ladies. They easily carried suitcases weighing tens of kilograms.
Lin Xiaowan unlocked the door, “This is our new home in Donghai.”
Su Lin smiled, “Nice, this is our new home.”
Hearing the implication in Su Lin’s words, Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him and pulled Xia Shiyu, “Xiaoyu, let’s pick rooms first and leave the one we don’t like for Su Lin.”
Xia Shiyu laughed and nodded, though they had already chosen their rooms when they viewed the house. They were just putting on a show for Su Lin.
Su Lin didn’t mind and followed the two women through the yard into the villa. The interior of the villa was duplex-style, spanning three floors. The first floor contained the dining room, living room, kitchen, garage, etc.
The second floor had bedrooms, and the third floor featured multifunctional rooms such as a KTV, study, and bathroom. Su Lin was very satisfied with the villa.
