ive."No, I got home before you arrived.""Okay, be careful." Actually, what he didn't say was that he was already on his way to her law firm. He glanced at the navigation prompt; the road ahead was re...All of them were afraid of Zhao Tingxing. This time, it was only because Old Chen organized and led the charge that they dared to resist. But when they saw him in person, being coldly and dismissively glanced at by him, none of them dared to speak again.

Everyone knows how terrifying he can be if he truly gets serious. He built his fortune from nothing at a young age, so there's no way he achieved it without some skills.

This time, however, the opponent is not someone else, but Gu Ruandong. Moreover, with the lack of background for the Senbing Group, how can they swallow it Therefore, they are truly uneasy and hope that he will not be so reckless and stay calm.

Unable to persuade him and fearing he might turn on them, everyone shook their heads and left the meeting room, leaving only Old Chen inside to deal with him.

Lao Chen: "I know you look down on me now, think I'm taking advantage of my seniority and not giving you face. Now that I've been kicked out of the company by you, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. Why did I do this It's all for you."

Zhao Tingxing was more concerned with other things: "What's your relationship with Han Li Why have you been in contact for so many years"

He underestimated him.

Lao Chen didn't answer his question and continued from where he left off: "I may be taking advantage of my seniority, often contradicting you in public and not giving you face. But think about it, why do I do this You are someone I brought into this line of work, I treat you like my son. All the people around you are afraid of you or flatter you, and no one has the courage to remind you that you're going to have a lot of falls if you keep going on like this."

Zhao Tingxing remained unmoved: "So you've been scheming against me in the shadows, forming alliances all for me Old Chen, if you have ambition, just admit it. There's no shame in it, don't play these useless emotional cards with me."

He was blunt: "Bringing people to pressure the old woman is also self-defense"

Old Chen sighed again: "Han Li is right, you're a heartless person. If you were just sincere with people, you wouldn't be in this situation where you have no one to rely on. You can't even see the kindness others show you."

"Don't you **ing bring her up to me." A woman who betrayed him, now standing opposite him, what's there to talk about feelings

"Get out of here, I earned everything I have."

Lao Chen, seeing that he was about to lose his temper, remained calm and said: "Think about it, your first real estate project, the first pot of gold you made, how did you get that piece of land"

That real estate project is still the Zhao family's flagship to this day. But it took Bo Fei a lot of trouble to secure that land.

Back then, during the government's old city renovation project, numerous developers flocked to bid for the construction of a landmark building. Zhao Tingxing stood out from the crowd due to his design, which seamlessly integrated elements of humanity, environmental protection, aesthetics, and practicality, giving him an overwhelming advantage that earned him the government's favor and secured him the land development rights.

That building's design is truly impressive. Even years later, it still feels timeless. The subsequent projects he developed also continued this design style, becoming a hallmark of the Zhao family.

All he could do was just never meet this designer. He always dealt with Lao Chen, who said the designer was abroad. So he didn't care about it anymore.

At this point, Lao Chen brought up old stories again. His mind tightened, and he realized: "It's Han Li"

“Yes, over the years, all of Zhao's stunning designs have come from her.”

Zhao Ting was quite surprised, those years, he had buried himself in his career, almost forgetting this woman's existence.

So...it was her who left, and it was she who silently gave everything. Does she know she's acting unethically Or is she just feeling good about herself

He was increasingly finding this woman enigmatic.

After Old Chen's reminder, Zhao Tingxing vaguely remembered seeing her parents in the crowd of resisters during the demolition that year.

However, he was hating on Han Li back then, so he pretended not to recognize him.

"Later, she asked me to buy a house for her parents, and then she was at peace."

Lao Chen went further and further off-topic, almost forgetting the real purpose of this meeting. Only when he saw Zhao Tingxing's face relax did he get back to the point.

“I'm saying this just to let you know that not everyone wants to hurt you. I was kicked out of the company, and it doesn't really affect me much. I did this only because I hope you won't go all in. All these years of hard work shouldn't be wasted."

Though he advised Zhao Ting to reconsider, Lao Chen knew that his mind was made up and there was no turning back. He only hoped that after this conversation, Zhao Ting's heart would soften a little, and have a sliver of warmth. People will be more lenient in their actions if they have tasted warmth.

After their conversation, Zhao Tingxing made no statement and left the company. He then returned to the hospital to visit his grandmother. With no one else around, her spirits were much better than they had been in the morning.

But when I saw him, his eyes darted away.

Zhao Tingxing found it amusing, the old woman was kind and honest, couldn't keep things to herself, so he asked, "What's wrong"

"Well, Han Li knows I'm in the hospital and said he'd come see me."

Zhao Tingxing's heart sank. After hearing Lao Chen's words, he felt a touch, but years of prejudice or old grievances wouldn't disappear because of a few sentences.

And what was Han Li's real reason for coming Just to see the old woman I doubt it!

Gu Ruandong and his group are also here, I wonder what they're up to.

He won't see Han Li, nor does he want to give the old woman some impossible hope.

His top priority now is to get the bank to approve the loan as quickly as possible. He wants a swift and decisive resolution, leaving no room for Gu Ruandong to react. Dragging this out any longer is already pushing it to the limit.

This evening, I was having dinner and drinks again with the bank manager. He said the same thing as yesterday, advising me to not rush things, that there's no need to be in a hurry.

He believed it the first time he said it, but no one believed him the second. He was too soft, so he got tough and threw his glass: “Tell me, how much did Gu Ruandong bribe you”

"You're wronging me! I have enough trouble with just you, why would I jump into another fire"

That's true, Zhao Tingxing continued, "If you want to get rid of me, it's possible. Once this is done, I'll set you free. But if you don't do a good enough job, I'll make sure you can't handle the consequences."

After that, he got up and left.

Back at the old woman's villa, unlike last night, the place was still brightly lit at this hour.

I thought it was the old lady and her maid coming home, but when I went in, it was Han Li packing her luggage.de. The other party had already arrived. 。This place belongs to Zhao Tingxing. Although he got Gu Shi Group and the government tourism planning department to hype him up, his psychological expectation...
