Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

After Lin Cong left, Su Qian walked to the window and lit a cigarette. After taking a deep puff, he felt a little more sober.

Today's meeting did not go smoothly. Although Xia Qianshan was seriously ill, he was still the chairman, and all important affairs and personnel transfers of the Xia Group had to go through him.

As the son-in-law of the Xia Group, everyone assumed Su Qian would inevitably inherit the chairmanship. After all, his abilities were widely recognized. Furthermore, Xia Qianshan only had one daughter, Xia Ruohan, who showed no interest in the company's affairs. Even if Xia Ruohan were to take over, Su Qian would undoubtedly be in charge.

But today's meeting has brought new changes to all this.

Xia Qianshan brought a young man named Cheng Cong, who looked only about 25 or 26 years old. Xia Qianshan said that he was his distant cousin, who had studied abroad and had recently returned to City A to learn company management.

Xia Qianshan also said that he would let Cheng Cong join the company and learn and practice at the same time.

Cheng Cong's appearance completely disrupted Su Qian's plan. He knew clearly that this was Xia Qianshan's move, which made him even more passive.

When Su Qian reported on the company's situation, other directors expressed their praise, but Xia Qianshan remained serious.

After the meeting, everyone else left, only Xia Qianshan and Su Qian stayed.

Xia Qianshan easily passed the difficult question to Su Qian. He asked Su Qian, "What are your plans for the next quarter?"

Su Qian said respectfully, "We will renew some projects, and we will also follow up on the development of several target projects."

"I heard that Pinye has a big order?"

Su Qian didn't expect Xia Qianshan to also know the news about Pinye. "It is said so."

"Take it."

Su Qian didn't say anything.

Seeing that Su Qian didn't say anything, Xia Qianshan continued, "Don't you even have this little ability?"

"understood."

"I'll go back to the company first. I still have things to deal with." Su Qian bowed and turned to leave.

Xia Qianshan looked at Su Qian's back and snorted coldly, "He will never amount to anything."

When Xia Ruohan wanted to marry Su Qian, Xia Qianshan was extremely opposed. However, he couldn't get out of bed at the time, and Xia Ruohan was determined to marry Su Qian, so Xia Qianshan had no choice but to agree. However, in his heart, he had always looked down on Su Qian.

After Su Qian went out, he met Cheng Cong.

"Boss Su, do you have time for a cup of coffee?"

Su Qian knew that the newcomers had bad intentions, but for him, the only way was to fight back and deal with the enemy. "Okay."

The two came to the coffee shop, Su Qian ordered an iced American coffee, and Cheng Cong ordered a latte.

"Does Mr. Su like American coffee?"

"Ah."

"I can't do that. American coffee is too bitter. Latte is more fragrant and rich."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Su Qian didn't want to beat around the bush with Cheng Cong and chose to go straight to the point.

"Nothing, I just want to have a cup of coffee with President Su." Cheng Cong's forced smile was really disgusting.

Su Qian glanced at Cheng Cong and didn't say anything. Instead, he drank his coffee.

Cheng Cong looked at Su Qian and thought to himself that Su Qian was not as useless as Xia Qianshan said. At least his calmness and composure in dealing with things was something that most people could not achieve.

"Actually, I just want to get acquainted with President Su. After all, we might become colleagues in the future."

Su Qian smiled after hearing Cheng Cong's words, "Xia family welcomes you."

Cheng Cong was about to extend his hand when Su Qian continued, "There's no need to make friends now. See you at the company later."

After hearing Su Qian's words, Cheng Cong spread his hands and said, "I will definitely cooperate with President Su when the time comes."

"I'm leaving first. I still have a lot to do at the company."

Su Qian stood up, straightened his clothes, and left without looking back.

Dudu looked at Su Qian's back and said, "Boss Su, I wish you good luck."

On the way back to the company, a strong wind blew and dark clouds rolled over, covering the entire sky.

Su Qian looked at the dark clouds and suddenly understood the line from the poem "Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to collapse it." But no matter the wind or rain, he could only move forward.

After get off work, Lin Cong went to the cake shop and bought Xiaoyou’s favorite chestnut cake.

After I went out, it started to rain outside.

Lin Cong wanted to take a taxi, but after hailing it for a long time, no one stopped. It was like that during the evening rush hour in City A. It was difficult to get a taxi, and it was even more difficult on rainy days.

Lin Cong ran towards the bus stop. But the rain kept coming down, and she was soaked through after just a few steps. She took off her coat and covered the cake with it, trying to keep it dry.

Finally they arrived at the bus stop, but the bus was nowhere to be found. Just when Lin Cong was at a loss, Su Qian's car stopped.

"Get in the car." Su Qian rolled down the window and said to Lin Cong.

"Ah..." Lin Cong went over and opened the car door.

"Boss Su, I'm all wet. I'll be in the car..."

"Come up and close the door. Do you want me to get soaked too?"

The rain was so heavy that it soaked the bike seat in just a few seconds.

After sitting down, Lin Cong carefully took off his clothes and saw that the cake was not exposed to the rain. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qian glanced at the cake and asked, "Is it for Xiaoyou?"

“Yeah, she likes this.”

Because of the rain and the air conditioning in the car, Lin Cong felt a little cold.

Su Qian glanced at Lin Cong, turned off the air conditioner, and took off his coat while waiting for the red light.

"Put it on."

"No need, Mr. Su, it's okay."

Su Qian threw his coat on Lin Cong. Every time Lin Cong respectfully called him Mr. Su and said polite words, he would inexplicably feel angry.

"Don't let Xia Ruohan accuse me of abusing you."

"understood."

After hearing Su Qian's words, Lin Cong put on his clothes.

There was still that piano piece playing in the car, and the soothing music seemed to be more suitable for a rainy day.

Because it was raining so heavily, the car was driving very slowly.

Lin Cong stared outside quietly. Still, neither of them spoke, the silence so intense that it seemed as if the air in the car had frozen.

Lin Cong's phone rang. It was Ye Wenhai calling.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, what can I do for you?"

"Miss Lin, are you free today? I'll take you to a nice place."

"Sorry, Mr. Ye, I already have plans tonight."

"It feels like a long time since we last met. When will Miss Lin come back to visit you?"

"Boss Ye, I'll definitely be there some other day when I have time."

"Then I will wait for good news."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Cong rubbed her head. She was really fed up with Ye Wenhai, but what could she do?

"Ye Wenhai?"

"Ah."

"You seem to be in contact with him frequently recently?"

Lin Cong glanced at Su Qian and said, "There's no other way. There's no one better than him to contact Pinye."

"Was it about this that day at Vivian's?"

"Well, luckily he agreed."

Su Qian didn't say anything after listening, and Lin Cong continued to look out the car window.
