Chapter 488 - Are You Being Blackmailed Again? (1/2)
Huo Jinyao waved a hand as he said, ” It’s alright. It’s just one project. I’ve gotten eighty percent of it done. If he failed to complete it, he’d look like a total idiot.”
Huo Mingguang was only trying to teach his son a lesson. It wasn’t because Huo Jinyao didn’t do a good job, or it would’ve probably been better for him to quit his job as the president of Tianyu Group.
Yang Wenchang understood what Huo Jinyao meant, but something else crossed his mind. “President Huo, do you remember Luoxing Market and Kesong Electronics from Lin City?”
“Yes.” Huo Jinyao turned those two companies into his own because their previous owners hurt Xiang Caiping.
“Our people in those two companies said that the sons of their previous owners have been trying to cause us trouble recently.”
“That’s not a big deal. Tell Zhang Yang to handle it.”
“Sure.” Yang Wenchang had the same idea. “There’s also something else,” he added.
“What?”
“Your father-in-law…” Yang Wenchang didn’t finish his sentence.
“What about him?” Huo Jinyao only knew that Su Chenghui had gotten a divorce with Li Qianxue, but hadn’t paid any attention to what happened afterward yet.
“Because of your relations.h.i.+p with Mrs. Huo, we’ve been close partners with Li Group. Mr. Su was the one in charge of all our cooperative projects, but now he suddenly got replaced. I just want to know if our future partners.h.i.+p with them should be…”
Earlier, Yang Wenchang returned to Rong City to do some work that Huo Jinyao gave him. Before then, he had been dealing with some other things for Xiang Caiping, so he didn’t know yet that Su Qingsang was Li Qianxue’s daughter.
He remembered that Su Qingsang was an illegitimate daughter of Su Family, who wasn’t in a good relations.h.i.+p with Li Qianxue and the other family members. As Su Chenghui had quitted his job, he thought that many terms of Tianyu’s partners.h.i.+p with Li Group would be adjusted slightly.
“No need. Stay with the old terms.” Upon hearing Yang Wenchang’s words, Huo Jinyao realized that he forgot to tell Yang Wenchang about Su Qingsang’s story.
He told Yang Wenchang about what happened, keeping it as simple as possible. The surprised look on Yang Wenchang’s face reminded him of how shocked Li Qianxue was when she learned the truth.
“Keep in mind that Li Group is now our long-term partner, so we will stick with the old terms.”
The goal of the partners.h.i.+p was to reach mutual benefits. Satisfying everyone was expected to be the best outcome.
“Yes, I get it.”
Yang Wenchang soon figured it out. Huo Jinyao’s att.i.tude indicated how he should face Li Qianxue and Li Group people next time.
…
Su Qingsang had lunch with Li Ting after taking over two nights.h.i.+fts for her. Li Ting offered to do her nights.h.i.+fts too, but Su Qingsang didn’t think that was necessary.
Therefore, Li Ting decided to buy her lunch as a way to thank her.
Su Qingsang didn’t refuse her offer. She always wanted to bond with her new colleagues anyway. After lunch, she wanted to take a stroll to help with digestion.
On their way, Li Ting received a call from her boyfriend. The relations.h.i.+p between Li Ting and her boyfriend was still in the honeymoon phase. They called each other every morning, noon and night.
Seeing the sweetness on Li Ting’s face, Su Qingsang was a little jealous of her. She and Huo Jinyao went straight to marriage and skipped the honeymoon phases.
Earlier, the two of them weren’t even in the same city. They talked on the phone every night but never called each other three times a day like Li Ting and her boyfriend were doing now.
Did she like Huo Jinyao? There was no doubt she did. Did she love Huo Jinyao?
She did love him, but she always felt that something was missing between him and her and had no idea what it was.
That didn’t matter, though. They had already gotten together and would stay that way for the rest of their lives.
She would open herself to him slowly and love him deeper and deeper. She believed that would not be hard to do.
As long as she kept being with him like she was doing now, there will come a day where she would become obsessed with him. She was happy with her current marriage life.
While talking on the phone, Li Ting slowed down.
Su Qingsang didn’t have the heart to stop walking to listen to the young couple’s sweet-talking. She mended her pace on purpose. When she returned to the hospital, everybody else was still out for lunch.
Another patient was sent into the emergency room. It was a pregnant lady who was already unconscious. No one knew what happened to her yet.
Su Qingsang went to the emergency room with two nurses. Before walking to the bed, Su Qingsang saw Zhang Yichen standing straight in the room.
“Eh, you?” Su Qingsang was surprised to see him.
Her eyes then landed on the pregnant lady on the bed who seemed to be in her early pregnancy.
As she came in, Doctor Huang from the emergency room pointed at the lady and told her about what happened.
“She’s pa.s.sed out. She’s about twenty weeks pregnant. So far it seems that she has gestational hypertension. There are wounds on her body, too. More details will be found out after you or some other gynecologist gave her an exam.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Su Qingsang nodded and signaled for the nurses accompanying her to send the patient upstairs for the examination.
She turned and found Zhang Yichen still standing there. She paused briefly, glanced at him, and then said jokingly, “Are you getting blackmailed again?”
How unlucky he had to be to get blackmailed twice in a row?
“No.” Zhang Yichen didn’t look as relaxed as Su Qingsang. “I saw her being attacked when I was driving across Houde Road. I got off the car and stopped the attacker, then she pa.s.sed out.”
