It was a sunny winter day.
Warm sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting dappled patterns on the pink bed.
On the bed, a young man and woman lay in each other's arms, asleep.
Liu Jiayao felt the light entering the room and slowly opened her eyes, only to find one of her legs draped over Ge Dongxu's waist. Rembering what they had done on the bed last night, where they had done almost everything a man and a woman could do except for the last step, a blush suddenly crept onto her pretty face, and her body beca hot.
Seemingly sensing the change in Liu Jiayao's body, Ge Dongxu shifted slightly.
Liu Jiayao quickly closed her eyes. What they had done in the heat of passion last night hadn't seed like a big deal, but now that she was sober, she found herself unsure of how to face this younger man.
Ge Dongxu turned and saw that Liu Jiayao's eyes were closed, but her eyelashes trembled slightly. He smiled knowingly, kissed her forehead gently, and then got out of bed and left the bedroom, taking care not to make a sound.
The mont Ge Dongxu left the bedroom, Liu Jiayao opened her eyes. She touched her forehead where he had kissed her, and looked curiously at the bedroom door, wondering what Ge Dongxu was up to so early in the morning.
After lying in bed for a while and seeing that Ge Dongxu still hadn't returned, Liu Jiayao couldn't resist her curiosity. She got up, opened the bedroom door, and saw that the living room was empty. Just as she was wondering, she noticed soone busy in the kitchen, which was separated from the living room by sliding glass doors.
Instantly, Liu Jiayao felt her entire being filled with sweetness and happiness.
She walked over, hugged Ge Dongxu from behind, and rested her face on his back. In a soft voice, she said, "Thank you, it's so nice to have you."
"Why are you up? Go back to sleep for a while. I'll call you when it's ready," Ge Dongxu said as he turned around and held Liu Jiayao, his eyes showing a hint of concern.
"Look who's talking! After what you did to last night, I'm exhausted," Liu Jiayao said with a mix of shyness and annoyance. She pinched Ge Dongxu's waist hard.
Ge Dongxu laughed shyly in response.
"Still laughing!" Liu Jiayao couldn't help but pinch him again.
"Ouch, the food is going to burn," Ge Dongxu hastily turned back to the stove.
Liu Jiayao gave a snort of laughter, knowing that Ge Dongxu was deliberately changing the subject. She rolled her eyes at him playfully, then sashayed out of the kitchen to the bathroom to freshen up.
...
"Do you really have to make such a clear distinction between us?" After breakfast, Ge Dongxu asked with a bitter smile, looking at Liu Jiayao helplessly.
"Dongxu, you're still young, and there are things you can't see clearly right now. Besides, if you insist on doing this, it puts a lot of pressure on . So, you have two options: either I sign a share transfer agreent with Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory or with you personally. Actually, even if we do this, if the previous product issue still isn't resolved, I'd still be holding you back," said Liu Jiayao with a determined expression.
Seeing the determination in Liu Jiayao's eyes, Ge Dongxu could only reply with a wry smile, "In that case, let it be a personal investnt in Qinglan Costics."
"There you go with that bitter face again. Yours is mine, isn't it all the sa! It's just one more contract," Liu Jiayao said as she wrapped her arms around Ge Dongxu's and rocked against him.
"If it's all the sa, then why do you insist on signing a contract with ?" Ge Dongxu teased, gently rubbing Liu Jiayao's nose.
```
"I'm just considering that if sothing happens to in the future, you could rightfully take over Qinglan Costics. Moreover, you'll have your own family, your kids…" Liu Jiayao replied.
"What on earth are you talking about!" Ge Dongxu's heart trembled, and he suddenly held Liu Jiayao in his arms, forbidding her to continue.
He suddenly understood that the death of Liu Jiayao's parents still cast an unshakeable shadow in her heart, and he also understood Liu Jiayao's persistent concerns about her age.
"Look how nervous you are, I'll stop talking about it. As long as you're aware, that's fine," Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a look and then curled up in his arms like a contented cat.
"Right, I haven't asked you yet what exactly happened to the company? And what about the product issue you ntioned?" After holding Liu Jiayao tenderly for a mont, Ge Dongxu rembered what she had said earlier and asked.
"I don't know where the problem lies; we've been following the regular production process, but the last three batches of products have had problems," Liu Jiayao said as she sat up, her face clouded with worry.
"Oh, there have been such problems? Tell more about it," Ge Dongxu said with a hint of a frown.
So, Liu Jiayao recounted the entire situation from beginning to end. After hearing it, Ge Dongxu also felt it was incredible and suspected, "Could it be that Li Bisheng is behind this?"
"I have my suspicions too, but Li Bisheng is an outsider; he couldn't possibly do this. Moreover, during the subsequent two productions, Uncle Hua and I were monitoring the entire process and didn't notice anything abnormal," Liu Jiayao said with a wry smile.
"Oh, do you have any of the problematic products on hand? Let have a look," Ge Dongxu said, although he also had his doubts, he still agreed with Liu Jiayao's point of view, after all, they couldn't make wild guesses about Li Bisheng just because he wanted to buy Qinglan Costics.
"Yes, there are so," Liu Jiayao nodded, stood up, and brought Ge Dongxu a bottle of the contaminated costics.
As soon as Ge Dongxu opened the costic product, he imdiately detected a faint stench.
Ge Dongxu had never co into contact with Yin Demonic Corpse Qi, and besides, the Corpse Qi had gone through several production steps and had been distributed into so many bottles of costics that it was extrely weak. Even if he had experienced Yin Demonic Corpse Qi before, it wasn't certain that he would be able to recognize it.
However, even though he couldn't identify it, Ge Dongxu, a practitioner of the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, could vaguely sense that this faint stench was sohow different from ordinary stench, but exactly how it was different, he couldn't articulate.
"Strange!" Ge Dongxu frowned slightly, thought for a long ti, but couldn't figure out what was different about the stench, and then said, "Arrange for another batch of production before the end of the year, and I'll help you keep an eye on it. If there is still a problem, then we truly can only stop production temporarily until we figure out the issue."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking. But the company has run out of money, and if we want to resu production, you'll need to invest so money," Liu Jiayao nodded and then said with a bitter smile.
"No problem," Ge Dongxu agreed without hesitation.
…
"Director Li, I heard that Qinglan Costics is going to resu production. Give another bottle of that stuff, I want to bring down Qinglan Costics!" In the CEO's office of Li Fang Costics, Zhang Huowang said with his facial muscles twisted with hatred, making him look particularly ferocious and frightening.
After the shareholders' eting, Zhang Huowang was fired by Qinglan Costics Company, and he didn't even receive a cent of his year-end bonus.
"Forget it," Li Bisheng said, a flash of unwillingness in his eyes.
He was unwilling to fail so close to his goal, and even more unwilling to admit that he no longer had any Yin Demonic Corpse Qi to use; otherwise, without Zhang Huowang coming to him, he would have taken the initiative to find a way to act again.
