Chapter 167: Chapter 167 - 167 The Person in the Information Is Back

167 The Person in the Information Is Back

Qu Shao did not want to take it at all.

He smiled. “Not for the time being. You can wait until the new product is released next month.”

“It can’t be brought forward?”

“You decided to invest without even looking at the new product?”

!!

Yao Qianning choked. “Sheng Heng is not a small company. I have absolute faith in you.”

“But in business, nothing is certain. I suggest you wait a little longer. That way, you’ll be responsible for the investment you make.”

When Qu Shao was serious, he was completely different from usual. Not only was he sensible, but he was also persuasive.

He emphasized the word ‘responsible’, making Yao Qianning, who was from the Yao Cooperation, unable to insist.

“Alright.” She glanced at the woman in Pei Zhi’s arms and gritted her teeth. “Doesn’t Miss Lin have to work?”

“He doesn’t let me work.” Lin Jiao looked up, meaning that Pei Zhi was very clingy.

The scene of them looking at each other lovingly was extremely glaring to Yao Qianning.

Yao Qianning couldn’t stand it anymore. “I have two meetings in the afternoon. I’ll take my leave first.”

“I’ll send you off.” Qu Shao stood up first.

Seeing him close the door of the CEO’s office, Lin Jiao picked up her glass and took two sips. “Brother Qu is always reliable.”

“Indeed.” Pei Zhi had always agreed with his ability. Otherwise, he would not have kept him by his side.

“Is what he said true?”

“No.” He kissed her wrist. “There are many projects she can invest in, but I’m more inclined to let other companies invest.”

“Why?”

“They are not as influential as the Yao Corporation, so they will be more sincere and it’s easier for them to agree with Sheng Heng’s ideals and accommodate our needs.”

Lin Jiao thought of Yao Qianning’s attitude towards investing and indeed did not feel her sincerity.

She looked at the clock. “I need to go back.”

Pei Zhi, who received a kiss, removed his hands from her back and watched her disappear.

He opened the folder and seemed to have thought of something. He called Qu Shao over. “Have you settled everything?”

“Are you referring to the rumors outside?”

“What else?”

“Yes.” Qu Shao guaranteed that no one would dare to spread rumors about their relationship. “I thought you were talking about Su Tian.”

“Is the person in the information back?”

“He’ll be back on Friday.”

Pei Zhi flipped through the documents calmly. “Then tell him where Su Tian is.”

“Alright.” Qu Shao went to get it done.

Lin City, which had cooled down again, was shrouded in dark clouds.

Raindrops fell from the clouds and hit the Market behind the CBD with the cold wind.

Su Tian, who was carrying a lot of shopping bags, was held by He Jia as they walked to the door of the hall on the first floor.

She stared at the rain on the road and frowned in frustration. “Jia, try and see if you can get a taxi.”

He Jia opened the taxi hailing app. “29 people in line. I think we’ll have to wait a long time.”

“It’s fine. LIne up first.”

“Why don’t you ask Brother Quan to come and pick us up?”

“He’s still in a meeting.” In order to hide their secret relationship, Su Tian did not mention He Qi. “There seems to be an umbrella shop on the second floor. Go up and buy two.”

“You’re not coming?”

“I have too much stuff in my hands.” She changed to a kind tone. “Sorry to trouble you.”

He Jia looked at the distance between the door and the roadside and agreed reluctantly. She didn’t want to get drenched in the rain.

Not long after she went upstairs, a middle-aged man holding an umbrella slowly walked over. “Are you Miss Su?”

“And you are?”

“Mr. Xiao’s assistant.” He raised his chin at the Range Rover by the roadside. “Please follow me.”

Su Tian walked to the car with an inexplicable expression.

She looked in through the half-open car window, wanting to see the man clearly. “Mr. Xiao, why are you looking for me?”

“Get in.”

“I don’t even know you. Why should I get in the car?”

He sneered. “Su Tian, have you been living so happily these days that you forget who your master is?”

That spine-chilling voice suddenly woke up the memories hidden in Su Tian’s heart.

Two words flashed across her mind.

Xiao Song.

Su Tian, who was pushed into the back row by Xiao Song’s assistant, met that face that made her both happy and afraid.

“Why are you trembling?” Xiao Song leaned over and approached her, breathing into her ear.

“W-Why are you in Lin City?”

“Am I not welcomed?”

“No.” Su Tian gripped the shopping bag tightly, her expression nervous, but she did not dare to push him away.

She asked weakly, “Where are you taking me?”

Xiao Song held her chin and raised it.

He used a lot of strength to leave a mark on her skin. “Have you forgotten the rules I taught you?”

“I-I didn’t forget.”

“What do you do when you see me?”

Su Tian could not withstand the pressure he exerted on her and instantly became as obedient as she was in the past.

She didn’t care about her dignity. “Woof.”

“Only once?”

“Woof… woof woof.”

Only then was Xiao Song satisfied.

He kicked away the shopping bags that were scattered on the ground and looked at the bag that was vibrating. “I’ll give you a minute to answer the phone.”

Su Tian only used 30 seconds to tell He Jia the reason for her sudden departure and stopped making a sound.

She stopped asking him where they were going.

“Mr. Xiao, we’re here.” The assistant drove into the parking lot of a high-end residential building.

“Bring the things.”

“Alright.” He picked up the shopping bags and took the elevator to the eighth floor with them. “Mr. Xiao, what do you want to eat tonight?”

“Two steaks.” Xiao Song stood at the door of 802 and pressed the fingerprint lock before asking his assistant to put down the things and leave.

He sat on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth and glanced sideways at Su Tian. “Who asked you to sit?”

Su Tian stood opposite him.

Under that teasing gaze, she knelt on the carpet. “I’m sorry.”

“Why do you apologize?”

“I shouldn’t have left without saying goodbye.”

Xiao Song flicked the lighter. “If I remember correctly, the agreement doesn’t expire for another year?”

“Yes.” It was impossible for Su Tian not to remember the agreement she had signed willingly. “There are thirteen months left.”

“I heard you’re in a relationship?”

“No.”

Xiao Song, who was still smiling a second ago, slapped her cheek. “Yes or no?”

His dark expression made Su Tian afraid.

She hugged his leg and looked at him with her extremely deceptive eyes. “I don’t love him. I’m just playing with him.”

“Did the agreement allow you to play?”

“It’s not allowed.”

Xiao Song brushed away the hair on her cheek.

He blew a puff of smoke at her. “Is it ok for you to play with someone else with my money?”

“Sorry.” Su Tian’s eyes turned red from the pain. She choked and said, “I’ll compensate you with double that money, okay?”

“Why? Do you want to cut ties with me?”

“I…”

She wanted to say something but hesitated, making Xiao Song raise his eyebrows in interest. “Tell me what’s on your mind. I won’t blame you.”

Su Tian suddenly clenched her fists.

She hoped to say goodbye to her previous life, so no matter if what he said was true or not, she did not want to let go of this opportunity.

“I want to terminate the agreement.” With that, she bent down as if she had used all her courage.
