Cold Qingqiu walked up to Lu Chengwen, and looked into his eyes expressionlessly:
"Chengwen, I think what you said makes sense. Even though others don't believe it, I believe you. Tonight, I will urgently convene a high-level eting to determine the specific details of investing in the transformation of the shantytown."
Lu Chengwen was not a fool. He could tell from Cold Qingqiu's expression and eyes that she was being stubborn.
"You want to invest in the shantytown? Fine, I'll invest in the shantytown.
Are you really trying to deceive , or are you changing your tune and obediently giving in? It's up to you."
Long Aotian didn't understand Cold Qingqiu's mindset, his face already grim.
Long Aotian was also confused.
Shantytown transformation? Would anyone dare to touch that thing?
Governnt officials are lobbying everywhere, and none of the four major families in Xuecheng have agreed.
It takes a long ti, is a large investnt, involves many stakeholders, and the situation is extrely complex. A small mistake could lead to major problems.
Each elent is deadly on its own. Any large corporation considering investing in such a project needs to carefully consider whether they have the capital and ability to handle it.
The first person in charge of this project was from the south, but he couldn't handle it halfway through and ran away.
Because of this project, there have already been three people who jumped off buildings.
Shantytown transformation is no longer a hot potato, it's a burning iron, let alone holding it, even touching it would hurt you!
Long Aotian said, "Qingqiu, regarding the shantytown transformation project, I advise you not to get involved. The situation with that project is very complicated, and you don't have enough understanding of the construction industry..."
Cold Qingqiu looked at Long Aotian coldly, "Do I need to understand so much? As long as Chengwen supports , that's enough, right, Chengwen?"
Lu Chengwen: "Um..."
Long Aotian said urgently, "The amusent park project has a short cycle, and the situation is easy to judge. As long as we quickly secure that piece of land, we will be invincible, and there's much to be done. Shantytown, on the other hand, is uncertain about the future, and it's laborious."
"Even if that's the case, with Chengwen's support, I'm not afraid of a little hardship. Right, Chengwen?"
Lu Chengwen: "Um..."
Long Aotian beca anxious, "Qingqiu, why don't you understand? I'm doing all this for you. I don't want you to jump into the fire pit. I don't want Qianfeng Group to decline. I know revitalizing Qianfeng is your dream, and I ca here for your dream."
Cold Qingqiu said, "What revitalizing Qianfeng? I'm a woman. A woman's biggest dream is to marry into a good family. Chengwen and I have already decided to get engaged next month, married by the end of the year, and have children next year... Right, Chengwen?"
Lu Chengwen: "Um... Gulp..."
Long Aotian thought, who is this person?
Can't she see such an obvious business opportunity? Why would she go to work on a shantytown transformation project with Lu Chengwen?!
What's wrong with Cold Qingqiu? Did her brain suddenly shrink?!
Cold Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen with determination, "Chengwen, I trust you. Look at and tell , which project do you want to do?"
Cold Qingqiu's gaze made Lu Chengwen extrely uncomfortable.
Lu Chengwen didn't know how to reply for a mont.
[Is this silly girl really trusting ? Does she want to work on the shantytown transformation project with just because she thinks I'm talking nonsense and wants to spite ?]
[Darn it, I refuse to believe that I can't deal with a little girl like you!]
"Oh, of course," Lu Chengwen made up his mind, "I do see potential in this project, but the decision-making power lies with you in Qianfeng Group. I'm just making a suggestion."
"Good!" Cold Qingqiu decisively said, "Since you suggested it, I'll follow your lead."
Long Aotian couldn't sit still, "Qingqiu, let's discuss this first..."
"No need to discuss." Cold Qingqiu was already angry, pushing the door to leave, "I'll imdiately convene the team and hold an ergency eting to discuss the investnt plan for the shantytown transformation project. I'll negotiate with the relevant parties tomorrow."
"You're making a ss!" Cold Tianhao was angry now, "How can you be so impulsive about such a big matter? I'm the chairman of Qianfeng Group. I don't agree with this!"
Cold Qingqiu turned to look at Cold Tianhao, "Father, it was you who arranged for to marry into the Lu family, you gave the power and responsibility to manage Qianfeng comprehensively. You also told personally that my personal happiness and gains or losses are not important, the long-term interests of Qianfeng are above personal happiness. I, Cold Qingqiu, go along with whoever I marry since I'm engaged to Chengwen, he will be my husband in the future. My husband's words are like commands to , I will execute them unconditionally! Chengwen said he wants to invest in the shantytown project, so I trust him."
Long Aotian hurriedly said, "Qingqiu, think it through. Lu Chengwen isn't worthy of your trust."
Cold Qingqiu looked at Long Aotian, "Is that so? Then tell , who should I trust?"
Cold Qingqiu's eyes were red, and tears moistened her eyes:
"In my whole life, I've never found anyone I can trust."
"When I was a child, I idolized my father and imitated him everywhere. I learned his thunderous thods, his domineering decisiveness, his preference for talent, his calm wisdom... But I found out that my father's strength and cruelty exceeded my imagination."
"Every ti I encountered difficulties or sadness, he never hugged or comforted like other fathers do. He only scolded , humiliated , looked at with that ruthless disappointed gaze, telling I was worthless!"
"When I grew up, for the sake of the group's interests, the biological daughter must marry into another family. In his eyes, Qianfeng is his child, and I'm just a useless daughter."
"My only friend, I found out she secretly drugged my drink. I cried and asked her why, and she told she hated . She hated that I was smarter than her, hated that I was born into a wealthy family, hated that I was prettier than her, slimr than her, hated my innate academic talent! She resented , resented everything I was born with, which she could never achieve in her lifeti. So she wanted to destroy !"
"My only love in college, I
devoted everything to him! He was sunny, positive, a sportsman. Although he wasn't wealthy, he was the light that shone into my life. I thought I finally found soone I could trust!"
(Note: No toxicity, Cold Qingqiu is still a fledgling, too many readers complained, so I'm clarifying.)
"But on my birthday, he installed three caras in the reserved hotel."
Cold Qingqiu smiled, tears covering her face, a terribly tragic smile.
"Three!"
Cold Qingqiu's voice trembled, "When I decided to give myself to him wholeheartedly, all he thought about was recording everything from all angles, then controlling to get the Cold family's wealth."
Cold Qingqiu wiped away her tears, "Family, friends, lovers, all so indifferent. Tell , who should I trust?"
Cold Qingqiu roared in anger, "Speak! Who can I trust!? In this world, is there really anyone who, regardless of appearance, money, or background, genuinely likes , treasures , and protects from their heart? Is there? Will I forever be alone in this life? Is this world inherently so cold and heartless that the kind of trust I want simply doesn't exist!? Is that so?"
Land Chengwen felt a pang of sadness in his heart, filled with self-bla.
[I'm sorry, I didn't know, you'd been through so much misery before.]
[Sigh, it seems that no matter how much money one has, what people ultimately pursue is inner happiness and satisfaction. Although this may sound like nonsense to many, money really isn't everything.]
[Damn it, what should I do? My heart aches for her! If it weren't for having a mission on hand, I would definitely rush over and hug her right now.]
[No! I have to restrain myself, I can't let her know. Anyway, I'll treat her better in the future, whether it's in business or in life. When she's in trouble, I'll secretly help her. This poor girl, she's making feel so uncomfortable.]
Leng Qingqiu's blurry teary eyes suddenly turned towards Land Chengwen, staring at him intensely.
Land Chengwen then lowered his head guiltily, remaining silent.
Long Aotian felt that it was ti for him to step in.
"Qingqiu, I feel like I am that person! Yes, I'm here to love you, cherish you, accompany you, and protect you! From now on, you can trust , you can trust with anything. I'm willing to be the light shining into your life! From now on, my light will only shine for you."
Land Chengwen ntally threw a pile of feces at him.
[Spit! Disgusting! You're shaless, spouting nice words as soon as you open your mouth!]
[Are you doing this for Leng Qingqiu's happiness? You're clearly coveting the assets of the Leng family! Aside from the Leng family, there's also the Xu family and the Chen family. And lastly, there's our Land family.]
[Sigh, there's no way around it, this is your fate. Be together, maybe, for Qingqiu, this is the best outco.]
Leng Qingqiu glanced at Long Aotian, "I've already decided, I'll believe in Brother Chengwen for the rest of my life. If he wants to deceive , I'll let him. If he wants to harm , I'll let him. If he wants to sell for money, I'll set a high price for myself! Tomorrow is the big day for the official investnt of the shantytown renovation project by Qianfeng Group. You guys just watch!"
Land Chengwen completely lost it.
[Sister, what's with your temper!?]
[Don't you understand? Did... did I ss up again!? Did I have the opposite effect!?]
Land Chengwen didn't realize that Leng Qingqiu had completely grasped her own cards and thought he had ssed up.
His perceived situation was:
Long Aotian had chosen the right path for Leng Qingqiu, while he had tily proposed a wrong route.
Normally, he and Long Aotian would form a sharp contrast, and Leng Qingqiu would choose Long Aotian's correct investnt path, feeling grateful to him, thus getting the plot back on track.
The female lead would then start advancing their dual storylines.
He could then naturally withdraw from this storyline and deal with the female leads in other storylines.
But now, unexpectedly, Leng Qingqiu's long-suppressed psychological issues had erupted!
Her rebellious ntality erged!
Leng Qingqiu, who had always been calm and rational, never making mistakes, was now making big mistakes, huge mistakes!
She actually stubbornly chose her own wrong investnt path!
Leng Tianhao angrily said, "Leng Qingqiu! You're the CEO of Qianfeng Group! Be a little more rational, did I teach you to make judgnts and decisions based on emotions?! No matter how dissatisfied you are with , how disappointed you are with this world, what I want is your ability, the ability to lead Qianfeng back to its peak! You're not allowed to touch the shantytown renovation project. Tomorrow, you'll go and handle that piece of land for ! If you don't handle this well, there won't be a place for you in Qianfeng Group!"
Leng Qingqiu turned her head, looking at her father coldly.
With a mocking smirk.
"You gave the power, now you have to accept the consequences. To revoke my executive power and decision-making power, you need to convene a shareholder eting and officially announce the dismissal order about . According to the regulations, this eting requires a week of preparation ti. I can finish what I want to do within a week."
"You..."
Leng Qingqiu finished speaking and walked out of the room without looking back.
Land Chengwen was drenched in sweat.
Damn it! I've completely ssed it up now!
Land Chengwen felt dizzy.
Leng Qingqiu, out of anger with him, had resolutely embarked on a dead end!
Leng Tianhao, because of his own wicked idea, was now looking at him with uncontrollable anger!
Most importantly, Long Aotian, his face darkened to the extre, seed like he was about to explode in the next second!
Damn it, I'm done for!
