Song Ling looked at Chen Bin and spoke, “Collaboration isn’t limited to just one company. If we can increase the number, it might be better for development.”

Upon hearing Song Ling’s words, Chen Bin felt somewhat swayed.

He responded directly, “I think your idea is good. However, based on the contract I signed with Chairwoman Gu, the primary execution capability lies with the Gu Group. If we’re to increase the collaboration, you’ll need to discuss it with Chairwoman Gu.”

Chen Bin didn’t want to be involved in this matter. Moreover, he was eager to see his wife, so he turned to Gu Dai and said, “Chairwoman Gu, you discuss it with President Song. Just inform me of the final decision.”

Gu Dai nodded.

Chen Bin then got into his car and left.

Song Ling turned to Gu Dai and inquired, “What do you think?”

Gu Dai stated, “If you wish to get involved, you can. However, when it comes to collaboration, Gu Group needs to have absolute say.”

Chen Bin’s project was indeed promising, but it was still a new industry domestically and not guaranteed to be successful, thus carrying certain risks.

If the Song Corporation were to get involved, it could significantly reduce those risks.

However, Gu Dai was confident in the project. Even if the Song Corporation did not participate, it would not be a loss to her. She didn’t want to get too entangled with Song Ling, so she set particularly harsh conditions.

Upon hearing Gu Dai’s terms, Song Ling’s expression darkened considerably. “Gu Dai, this means my company bears most of the risk but gains little benefit.”

Gu Dai did not deny it, calmly nodding, “If President Song isn’t interested, then let it be.”

After a deep breath and a few seconds of indecision, Song Ling nodded, “I agree. Can we sign the contract now?”

Gu Dai was surprised by his agreement, considering him somewhat a fool for accepting such terms when a normal person would have refused immediately.

She wouldn’t pass up this advantageous opportunity and promptly said, “The contract will be here shortly.”

The lawyer was quick, and the contract was delivered shortly.

After reviewing the contract briefly, Song Ling signed his name on the designated line.

He intended to hand the contract to Gu Dai but looked up to see her feeding Su Ting water, which prompted him to comment, “He didn’t injure his hands, did he? Does he need someone else to feed him water?”

Su Ting, with a smile, said, “Indeed, my hands aren’t injured. But Daidai is always worried about me, fearing any movement might affect my wound.”

Gu Dai nodded in agreement, “Exactly.”

Taking a deep breath, Song Ling looked at Gu Dai, “May I have a word with you alone?”

After he spoke, he added, “Considering the big concessions I’ve made in our collaboration.”

Su Ting suggested, “Daidai, maybe he really has something important to say.

I’ll wait for you in the car.”

After escorting Su Ting to the car and ensuring he was comfortable, Gu Dai stepped out to face Song Ling, “What do you want to discuss?”

Seeing Gu Dai’s actions, Song Ling’s expression darkened considerably. He managed to suppress his displeasure, “Su Ting saved you, but you don’t have to dedicate your whole life to repaying him!”

Gu Dai paused, then laughed, realizing Song Ling’s point, “You actually think I’m like you.”

Song Ling asked, “What do you mean?”

Gu Dai explained, “What I mean is, I can distinguish between liking someone and repaying a debt. When I got together with Su Ting, he hadn’t been injured saving me. So, I’m not like you; I don’t get with someone just to repay a debt, not to mention marry them.”

Song Ling was stunned, his face flushing, his voice hoarse, “So, you’re with Su Ting because you… love him?”

His voice trembled with the last two words.

Gu Dai smiled softly and replied, “Yes.”

Song Ling was overwhelmed by Gu Dai’s simple affirmation, unable to catch his breath until she had completely departed. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

His phone rang incessantly, but he couldn’t attend to it.

Far away in the Capital, Zhao Xuan paced back and forth anxiously as he watched his company’s stocks continue to fall..
