Chapter 488: Are You Being Blackmailed Again?

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 relationship 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 partnership 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 relationship with Li Qianxue and the other family members. As Su Chenghui had quitted his job, he thought that many terms of Tianyu’s partnership 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 partnership 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 attitude indicated how he should face Li Qianxue and Li Group people next time.

Su Qingsang had lunch with Li Ting after taking over two nightshifts for her. Li Ting offered to do her nightshifts 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 relationship 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 passed 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 passed out.”

He never mentioned how he fought against that man who attacked the pregnant lady, or how the man ran away while cursing him.

“I see.” Su Qingsang remembered Doctor Huang say that the woman had wounds on her body. “I get it,” she said, “You can leave now. We’ll take care of her.”

“Are you going to inform her husband?”

Su Qingsang nodded and said, “Who else can we inform?”

“I think her husband’s the one who attacked her.” Zhang Yichen didn’t mind telling Su Qingsang what happened.

He heard the man talking when he got off the car. Before he did anything to stop the man, the man said to him, ‘I’m beating my current wife. What does this have to do with you?’

On hearing that, Su Qingsang knitted her brows. “I see. How about this: if we find the wounds and confirm it was her husband who attacked her, we’ll inform the Woman’s Federation and ask them to help her, or call the police for her if necessary.”

“Okay.”

Su Qingsang finished talking, then looked at Zhang Yichen’s still-tightened face.

“Are you from Rong City?”

“No, why do you ask?”

“Oh, I was thinking that if you’re from here, the government of Rong City should award you for heroically helping others.”

Su Qingsang meant what she said. She had only seen him three times so far but already witnessed him helping someone twice. Shouldn’t the government award him?

Zhang Yichen paused briefly. His masculine face wore a slightly embarrassed look.

“I don’t need that. I did what I should be doing.”

He was a soldier. He should be helping people.

Su Qingsang still thought he was a policeman, since helping people was a part of a policeman’s job.

“Alright. I’m going to exam her. You can leave if you want.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“Oh, no need to thank me. I’m just doing what I should be doing,” Su Qingsang responded to him with his own words.

Zhang Yuchen was a bit startled. As he watched Su Qingsang turn and leave, he wore a faint smile again.

Su Peizhen looked at the office with slight discontent. The office was much smaller than the one she had in Li Group.

Thinking about the house and the office that Xiang Caiping gave her, she felt that Xiang Caiping was very stingy.

She had spent about half a month keeping Xiang Caiping company. Ultimately, Xiang Caiping agreed to let Su Peizhen manage the two chain supermarkets that she owned.

Su Peizhen had no idea that Xiang Caiping just didn’t want her to get too tired of the work. For that reason, Xiang Caiping let her rest for a while before taking her to Rong City.

Earlier, Xiang Caiping hired a professional manager to manage her business. Aside from the fact that she was going to Lin City to find her daughter, she thought she was getting too old to run the business herself.

As her daughter has come back to her now, she was happy to let her daughter take over her business. She didn’t want Su Peizhen to work for other people.

Su Peizhen started her work days ago. Last week, Xiang Caiping brought her to the company to meet the few members of the old staff who worked hard together with her since the beginning. Xiang Caiping repeatedly asked them to look after Su Peizhen.

However, Su Peizhen thought that all of Xiang Caiping’s actions were unnecessary. Why did she need those old staff members to look after her?

They should look after themselves. She was the boss, so she didn’t need anyone to look after her.

With that in mind, she again felt that Xiang Caiping was being petty.

She remembered how Li Qianxue ran Li Group like she was their queen. Not a single person in that company dared to show her any disrespect.

Unlike her, Xiang Caiping asked her employees to look after her daughter as the boss.

Su Peizhen leafed through the files on the desk before her in boredom. The job was too easy for her, and some professionals had gotten the important work done before she came.

Even so, she was willing to admit that Xiang Caiping did have some business sense. She made deals with many factories and kept the agency companies out of the business. Therefore, there was a price advantage of the products in her supermarkets.

That was the main reason why both her chain supermarkets had been running well.

The report form that Su Peizhen was currently reading was about the deals Xiang Caiping made with a few factories who agreed to supply her supermarkets exclusively.

Su Paizhen’s eyes lingered on a number in the form for a few seconds, then called the purchasing manager.

“What’s the problem with this Xingsheng?”

She pointed at that number, glancing at the purchasing manager coldly. The purchasing manager was a man in his forties from the Wang family. He had been working for Xiang Caiping for quite some time, and he called her Sister Xiang.

Last week, Xiang Caiping brought Su Peizhen into the company. Manager Wang and all the other staff respected the girl sincerely. After all, they were all grateful for Xiang Caiping.

Looking at the number in the report form, Manager Wang wore a subtle but complicated look.

“What? Can’t you explain? How come the price dropped by ten percent since I came here? Do you guys think that as your new boss, I don’t know how things work around here?”
