To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 714: What Are Your Conditions

In the night wind, under the street lamps, she stared at him with burning eyes. This hadn’t happened for a long time.

Su Chenghui was tempted and almost couldn’t help but want to pull her into his arms. He had never thought of getting close to her before, but now, he always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to her.

It was really like a river flowing in the east for ten years, and a river flowing in the west for ten years.

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue couldn’t wait for an answer and had already lost her patience. “If you say it, then say it. If you won’t say it, then forget it.”

In any case, it wasn’t a big deal. At most, they would lose a few hundred million. It wasn’t that the Li Corporation couldn’t afford to lose it. It was just that it would take a lot of explaining to do to the shareholders.

“You don’t want me to tell you my plan on the road, do you?”

Su Chenghui gently withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face was subtle. In just a few seconds, he returned to his usual elegant appearance.

“Where are you going to tell me? You should know that I don’t have the habit of eating supper.”

Li Qianxue cared about her health very much, not to mention that the Li family usually ate lightly. She basically didn’t eat at night, except for occasionally eating a bowl of swallow’s nest to calm her nerves.

If Su Chenghui still wanted to find a place to continue the conversation, she might not be willing to listen.

“Why don’t we go to your office tomorrow and talk about it in detail?”

Li Qianxue couldn’t laugh. “Su Chenghui, I didn’t know you were so shameless.”

“How is this shameless?” Su Chenghui’s expression was sincere. “I care about the Li Corporation and don’t want you to suffer losses.”

“Ha.” Li Qianxue sneered. “Have I suffered enough losses from you?”

“Yes, you have.” Su Chenghui admitted frankly. Half of his body crossed the car seat and came in front of Li Qianxue. “That’s why I hope to have a chance to make up for it.”

“Sweet words make one look more beautiful.”

Li Qianxue was unmoved. Her beauty was unparalleled. Even at her age, it only made her look more calm and noble than a young woman.

This cold look didn’t make Su Chenghui retreat. Instead, it made him more annoyed and wanted to make up for it.

“Then do you want to Know my plan or not?” Su Chenghui held her hand. “According to my plan, the proposal will still work. The Li Corporation won’t suffer any losses.”

“The Li Corporation won’t suffer any losses now.”

“But the profits will be lowered. What if I can guarantee that the profits of the Li Corporation won’t be lowered and will be better than your original plan?”

Li Qianxue was about to pull her hand back, but she paused because of Su Chenghui’s words.

Although she was angry with this person now, she had to admit one thing. It was Su Chenghui’s methods and abilities.

After being married for more than 20 years, she had followed him to bring the Li Corporation to where they were today, so she naturally knew about it.

“Su Chenghui, you have to know that the Li Corporation today doesn’t care about the loss of a few hundred million. What makes you think that I will give you an opportunity to get close to me for a piece of land?”

“The Li Corporation indeed doesn’t care, but to convince those shareholders, I think it will take a lot of effort. With me around, I can help you save these troubles, so why not?”

Li Qianxue sat still. Su Chenghui moved his body forward. “If I propose a plan, it can double the benefits of the Li Corporation. I think those shareholders will not only not make things difficult for you, they will also thank you, right?”

There was silence in the car. Li Qianxue knew that he was telling the truth.

In fact, the shareholders of the company had some complaints about Su Chenghui leaving the Li Corporation. After all, the benefits of the shareholders had been increasing every year since Su Chenghui had taken over the Li Corporation.

Li Qianxue had taken over the company for a year, so there would naturally be no big trouble. However, Su Chenghui had been in charge of some of the businesses before. She had indeed spent a few months to bring the company back on track and appease the shareholders.

“Qianxue, can’t you trust me just this once?”

Li Qianxue looked at the enlarged face in front of her. She suddenly withdrew her hand and leaned against the back of the chair. “Send me home.”

If she didn’t object, it meant that she agreed. Li Qianxue had always valued the Li Corporation. In her heart, other than her family, only her own company could make her care.

Su Chenghui let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Li Qianxue wouldn’t even take the Li Corporation seriously. When that time came, he would really be in trouble.

Seeing Li Qianxue turn around and look at the street scene, Su Chenghui leaned over and kissed her face.

When Li Qianxue glared at him, he quickly sat up straight and started the car.

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue hadn’t been this angry for a long time. “Don’t go too far.”

“Yes. I’ll be careful next time.” Su Chenghui turned to look at her. “Next time, I will definitely ask for your consent.”

“Who would agree to such a thing?”

“You didn’t object, so I’ll take it as your consent.”

Li Qianxue was about to flare up again, but she realized that in this way, she had taken the initiative to talk to him. Feeling annoyed, she turned her face away from him.

The car stopped at the Li family’s villa. Su Chenghui’s car originally didn’t want to enter, but when the villa’s sensor door scanned his license plate number, it opened directly.

Su Chenghui drove straight in. This action made Li Qianxue very angry.

She was going to tell Uncle Zhang tomorrow to delete Su Chenghui’s license plate number from the database, so that he would never be able to enter again.

“We’re here.” Su Chenghui stopped the car and found that Li Qianxue was still angry. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was actually very bitter.

“I’ll look for you in your office tomorrow afternoon.”

Li Qianxue didn’t want to talk to him anymore and directly got out of the car.

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui suddenly called out to her. She stopped in her tracks but didn’t turn around.

“Good night. Sweet dreams.”

Li Qianxue had a slight toothache. She quickened her pace and quickly entered the main residence.

She didn’t expect that when she entered the door, Old Master Li was still awake. Recently, he liked to play chess. Previously, he had gone to Rong City a few times and played chess with Old Master Huo. The two of them were equally skilled in chess. When playing chess, there were wins and losses.

In the past, they didn’t interact much. Now that he had a great-grandson and granddaughter, he would have to travel to Rong City more often. Therefore, he was especially willing to spend time in this area.

“Qianxue, come. See what move I should make next?”

No matter how much unpleasant emotions Li Qianxue had outside, when she returned home to meet her old father, her face was restrained.

“Let me see.”She walked to the front of the chess board and stood still. Before she could ask, Old Master Li stared at the chess board and said without raising his head.

“Chenghui sent you back?”

Li Qianxue was stunned. Knowing that Old Master Li had seen it, she didn’t deny it. “Yes.”

“You guys…”

“We have nothing.” Li Qianxue sat down opposite him. She picked up the black piece and placed it on the chessboard.

“I had an appointment with Mayor Li today, and he happened to be there. When I came back, Xiao Zhao had something to do, so he said he would send me back.”

Old Master Li picked up the white piece and placed it on the chessboard. “Yes. It was a coincidence, but he has been chasing you very diligently this year, right?”

Li Qianxue’s face almost changed. “Dad, which eye of yours saw him chasing me?”

“No?” Old Master Li finally raised his head to look at her. “You went to Rong City, and he went to Rong City. You asked Mayor Li, and he also asked Mayor Li. He sent you home, didn’t he?”

“He went to Rong City to see Qingsang, not for me. As for asking Mayor Li, his new company also has a lot of matters so he needs to deal with the higher-ups. What does it have to do with me?”

“So, you don’t plan to get married again?”

“Of course not.” Li Qianxue raised her voice. “Even if I don’t get married in this life, I won’t get involved with him again.”

Old Master Li was silent and looked at the chessboard. “It’s good that you don’t. However, it’s impossible not to get married. I heard that a young man also pursued you very hard?”

“Dad, where did you hear that?”

“Why not? The other party helped our company upgrade the software. He could have left after the upgrade. In the end, he comes to our company every day to fix the company’s website flaws and treats you to meals. Isn’t this a romantic pursuit?”

“Dad, it’s impossible between Wei Ting and me. Don’t think about it.”

“Nothing’s impossible. Bring him to me next time. I’m not that stubborn. If he really likes you, it’s okay to be a few years younger.”

“Dad, is that just a few years? A dozen years. If it were in ancient times, I could be his mother. What are you thinking?”

“Freedom of marriage, freedom of love. Look at the French president. Didn’t he also find someone much older than him?”

“Dad.” Li Qianxue found that she couldn’t communicate with Old Master Li anymore. “Okay, I know my own matters. You don’t have to meddle.”

“I don’t want to meddle either. It’s just that I’m old. Yuxin went to school. Although he said that he would come back in a few years, but after he cames back, he would probably have a family. Qingsang is far away in Rong City. Even if the transportation is convenient, the number of times you two meet is limited. It doesn’t matter to me since I’m old, but I also want someone by your side. It doesn’t matter whether or not he can help you with anything. I just want him to accompany you and take care of you.”

“If you don’t like Chenghui and that young man, there are quite a number of family friends who have lost their wives. When the time comes, you should find another suitable one.”

Li Qianxue’s lips moved. Looking at the white hair on Old Master Li’s head, she was going to agree, but the words that came out of her mouth changed, she still showed some resistance.

“Dad, it’s easy for you to say that I need to find someone to take care of me. The fact that I don’t need anyone to take care of me aside, even if I do find someone like Su Chenghui, haven’t I had enough for the past twenty years?”

Old Master Li was speechless and his expression was a little bad. Li Qianxue softened her tone.

“Dad, you don’t have to care about my matters. It’s fine now. Besides, my children are all grown up. I’m really not in the mood.”

There was a hint of guilt in Old Master Li’s eyes. “In the end, someone once bitten by a snake will for ten years be frightened at the sight of a rope. You’ve been hurt by Cheng Hui too deeply.”

“If you say so, then so be it.” Li Qianxue didn’t deny it. “My enthusiasm has all been used up. If you really want me to love and be with someone now, I really can’t get up to it. So Dad, you don’t have to care about my business, okay? I’m an adult and I can take care of myself. I also know what’s good for me.”

Old Master Li had nothing to say. The father and daughter looked at each other without saying anything. In the end, Li Qianxue went upstairs to rest.

Standing at the door with Li Qianxue’s bag in her hand, Su Chenghui, who was thinking about bringing her in, just stood at the open door and listened to the conversation between the father and daughter. However, the expression on his face was very ambivalent.

It was a good thing for him that Li Qianxue didn’t have the energy to look for someone else. At least this meant that she wouldn’t let anyone else enter her heart before he brought her back.

However, thinking that he was the one who made her become like this, Su Chenghui’s heart suddenly began to ache. His heart felt like it was being pricked by a thin needle. It was stuffy and stinging.

He hung the bag in his hand on the handle of the door. Su Chenghui didn’t go in again. He turned around and left silently.

..

Li Qianxue entered the company early in the morning and had a regular meeting. After the meeting, she agreed to have lunch with a partner company in the afternoon.

After lunch, she took a nap. She had always had the habit of taking a nap. Therefore, there was also a small lounge in the office. It wasn’t big, but everything was in place.

Yang Rong knew her habit, so she never bothered her when she was asleep.

However, today was an exception. Su Chenghui came and said that he had an appointment with Li Qianxue yesterday.

Yang Rong knew that the two of them weren’t on good terms now. However, since Su Chenghui said so, she would definitely report to her.

Su Chenghui didn’t stand on ceremony and just followed behind her. Li Qianxue’s body was considered healthy among her peers. It was just that her blood pressure was a little low.

Every time she woke up, she wouldn’t be able to get up for a while. She would have to wait for a while before she would slowly wake up. Yang Rong knew about her habit, so naturally, Su Chenghui also knew about it.

In the past 20 years, Su Chenghui didn’t care about Li Qianxue. Therefore, he didn’t care about her health. He knew that Li Qianxue had low blood pressure because last year, Li Qianxue woke up feeling dizzy and staggered two steps.

Later, the family doctor came to check on her and told him. He followed Yang Rong through the door and saw that Li Qianxue had just sat up.

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

Her eyes were half-opened as she looked at Yang Rong in front of her. She had been Li Qianxue’s secretary for many years, so Li Qianxue naturally trusted her.

“President Li, President Su came over and said that he has something to talk to you about.”

“President Su?” Li Qianxue covered her mouth and yawned. “Which President Su?”

“Su Chenghui, President Su, he said that he had an appointment with you yesterday.”

Yesterday? Li Qianxue recalled that Su Chenghui said yesterday that he had a plan that could increase the income of the land in the north district by a few hundred million.

“En. Yes. Let him in.”

Yang Rong got a definite answer and didn’t ask further. She turned around and found that Su Chenghui had followed her in. Her lips moved slightly. She remembered that they were once husband and wife and had seen all kinds of things. She didn’t stay any longer. She signaled to Su Chenghui and left.

Li Qianxue sat there. Yang Rong had blocked most of Su Chenghui’s body just now, so she didn’t notice that he had entered.

When she woke up, she thought of Su Chenghui coming here. She frowned and was a little unhappy.

Thanks to Su Chenghui’s kiss yesterday, Li Qianxue didn’t sleep well last night, and had a night of recurring dreams.

Most of them were from the previous twenty years, and Su Chenghui had been getting closer and closer in the recent year.

It wasn’t like what she had told Old Master Li. Instead, she felt that Su Chenghui’s repeated appearances had disturbed her normal pace. This made her very unhappy.

It was at this time that Su Chenghui appeared in front of her. She had just woken up, and her hair was a little messy. With it draped behind her head. It was impossible for her to wear a jacket when she slept.

The shirt she was wearing inside was already wrinkled. At this time, she was slightly frowning at him. Su Chenghui couldn’t help but take a step forward and stand in front of her.

“Qianxue.” His low voice was filled with affection. In fact, he had seen Li Qianxue’s more casual behavior at home.

But at that time, he felt that he “hated” her, so no matter what she looked like, she didn’t enter his eyes.

The situation in front of him was reversed. In his eyes, Li Qianxue, who wasn’t very clear-headed, still appeared somewhat cute.

“If you are sleepy, sleep more for a while.”

His voice was very soft and sounded extremely gentle. However, Li Qianxue woke up because of his words. She stood up abruptly and looked at the person in front of her.

“Why are you here?”

Her expression changed too quickly. The disgust in her eyes was so obvious. Su Chenghui’s heart felt choked. “We had an agreement yesterday. Have you forgotten?”

As he spoke, he waved a folder in his hand.

Li Qianxue also remembered at this time, but her expression didn’t look any better. “You go out first.”

Su Chenghui rarely came into this lounge in the past. Now that they were divorced, there was even less need.

Su Chenghui didn’t intend to provoke her here. “Okay, I’ll wait for you outside.”

After he left, Li Qianxue went to the bathroom next to him with a rather ugly expression. She washed her face as quickly as possible and cleaned herself up.

When she went out again, she returned to her usual cold demeanor and walked to the desk to sit down.

After pressing the intercom and having Yang Rong send two cups of tea in, she glanced at Su Chenghui. “You can speak now.”

Su Chenghui didn’t beat around the bush with her and directly pushed the proposal in his hand in front of her.

Li Qianxue glanced at him and reached out to pick it up. After casually flipping through two pages, her expression turned from casual to serious.

She was so focused on reading that she didn’t notice Yang Rong bringing the tea in. Seeing her like that, Yang Rong quietly went out again and didn’t forget to quietly close the door when she left.

Li Qianxue read the proposal carefully from beginning to end. Finally, she put the proposal on the table and pressed one hand on it.

“Who made the proposal? You did?”

“I did. However, two newcomers from the company also gave some suggestions.”

Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. According to Su Chenghui, no matter what was built on the vacant land next to the North District, it wouldn’t be affected.

More importantly, this plan was better than the one proposed by the planning department of big corporation.

She glanced at Su Chenghui with a complicated expression.

She was initially attracted to Su Chenghui because of his ability. Speaking of which, the two elders of the Su family weren’t in the business industry. Su Chenghui’s mother was a nurse, and his father was just an ordinary employee.

However, Su Chenghui was particularly talented in business. This was indeed something that others could only envy.

This plan wasn’t bad indeed. With the help of the Tianyu Group, the two families would be able to develop it together, and the profits would definitely be considerable in the future.

Huo Jinyao was her son-in-law, so she didn’t have to worry about whether he would agree or not.

“Your conditions.”

Su Chenghui glanced at her, as if he didn’t understand what she meant.

“I said, what are your conditions?” Li Qianxue’s expression was serious, and there was a hint of solemnity on her face. “You know your own plan, and it’s indeed not bad. So, what are your conditions?”

Su Chenghui didn’t answer her question. Instead, he said, “Not bad? I thought you would say that my plan is perfect.”

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue didn’t want to give him such high praise. “Tell me directly, what are your conditions?”

If it were someone else, she would have praised the person who wrote this plan. However, if that person was Su Chenghui, then forget about it.

“Qianxue, can’t I give this proposal to you?”

“You won’t curry favor for no reason.” Li Qianxue didn’t say the latter half of the sentence, but Su Chenghui understood.

He smiled bitterly. Her attitude really gave him a headache. “My company has just started. Although it has been developing well these days, I can’t carry out such a proposal. You should know that.”

Of course, Li Qianxue knew. She also knew that although Su Chenghui’s company had been developing well since the divorce, his new company really couldn’t carry out such a big project.

“So you’re saying that you want to give me such a nearly perfect plan for free?”

“I’m not saying that it’s free. I want a chance…”

While Su Chenghui was still thinking about how to choose his words, Li Qianxue loosened her grip and pushed the proposal back to him.

“I’m sorry, I can’t give you the chance you want.”

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui was stunned. Li Qianxue sneered and her expression changed to one of displeasure. “You want me to give you a chance with just a proposal? Su Chenghui, are you really that shameless?”

Putting aside the fact that she had no intention of getting back together with him, even if she had such an intention, he took the opportunity to threaten her, and that made her very dissatisfied.

“Qianxue, in your heart, have I become that despicable now?”

“More or less.” Li Qianxue’s expression was cold. “I won’t say anything else. I won’t agree to your conditions, so you can go.”

Su Chenghui sighed. With Li Qianxue personality, she was forthright with her love and hate. In the past, he felt that she had a clear line between love and hate. The more he felt before that she had a clear line between her likings and dislikings, the more he was frustrated now because it was difficult to change her mind.

“When I say opportunity, I mean, if it’s possible, can I also participate in this project? The Li Corporation and the Tianyu Group can eat the meat, while our small company can just follow behind and drink some soup.”

This time, it was Li Qianxue’s turn to be stunned. In fact, Su Chenghui’s request was completely reasonable. This case was all planned by him. It was understandable that their company wanted to get involved.

It wasn’t considered excessive for him to say this, but Li Qianxue was thinking about another matter.

If she agreed, then for a very long period of time, she and Su Chenghui would inevitably have contact because of work matters. This was something she didn’t want to see.

Li Qianxue was silent for a moment. Su Chenghui seemed to know what she was thinking. He pushed the proposal in Li Qianxue’s direction again.

“Qianxue, you should know that with the current conditions of the Li c and the help of the Tianyu Group together, how much benefit this proposal will bring to the Li Corporation. If you don’t agree because of me, the shareholders will probably be unhappy, right?”

“That’s my business, it’s none of your business.” The Li Corporation had the majority of the shares. She believed that even if the shareholders were unhappy, they wouldn’t dare to make things too difficult for her.

Indeed. Su Chenghui nodded, but he didn’t follow Li Qianxue’s intention and said, “But in my impression, you should be a person who has a clear division of public and private affairs. Since you have a clear division of public and private affairs, why are you afraid of my participation?”
