Seeing his daughter nod, Xiao Chen then turned to Su Ruoxue and apologized.
“Sorry.”
Su Ruoxue shook her head.
“Children, ah, they’re not yet sensible.”
“Then let’s call it a day. See you tomorrow!”
Xiao Chen patted his daughter’s head and said:
“Say goodbye to auntie!”
Xiao Ziyi waved her small hands.
“Bye~!”
Su Ruoxue smiled gently.
“Then tomorrow, auntiey will come play with you!”
The three parted ways and returned to their own homes to rest peacefully for the night.
Xiao Ziyi slept soundly in Xiao Chen’s arms. Perhaps she hadn’t slept so soundly in several years, for she was in such a trance that she was drooling, wetting Xiao Chen’s sleeves.
Xiao Chen did not lift his arm the entire night, letting his daughter’s drool soak his clothes.
He noticed that while she seemed to be comfortable in her sleep, her small hands were clutching at his collar.
Evidently, the fear built up from several years couldn’t just be erased so easily.
Xiao Chen lightly patted his daughter’s head as he plotted.
First was the revenge for his parents. His first uncle and third uncle had to be dealt with! That’s the only way he could comfort the spirit of his parents in heaven.
Second was the well-being of his daughter. After years of being infected by the parasite, he had to make his daughter return to good health.
Only then would Xiao Chen have the face to see Liu Yunxuan!
He continued to ponder until the next morning.
At the first light of dawn, Xiao Chen felt Qi Sha’s presence. He gently placed his daughter on the bed, changed his shirt, and left the bedroom.
Qi Sha was already in a corner, waiting.
When Xiao Chen appeared, Qi Sha stepped forward. Xiao Chen gestured for him to be quiet with his finger to his lips. Qi Sha lightly began to whisper:
“Emperor, there were no survivors from the Thousand Poison Faction. After the elder was tortured to the extreme, I sent him along his way.”
Xiao Chen nodded.
After the report, Qi Sha did not leave. He looked like he wanted to say something.
“Say what you need to say, no need to dawdle!”
“Yes!”
Qi Sha responded, then began:
“Emperor, this is the Yan emperor’s domain. It is unsuitable for us to stay here for a long period of time. Once the Yan emperor discovers us, there will be conflict. I’m afraid it will be troublesome!”
“The Yan emperor?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were tranquil like water.
“Don’t overthink it. When we arrived, I had already spoken to Master. If someone wants to start up trouble, I’ll handle it myself!”
“This…”
“Qi Sha, you should know. Blood flows thicker than water; that’s my only belief. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have survived all these years! I wouldn’t have the imperial throne today! Without them, what is the meaning of eternal life, even if I have the empire?”
Qi Sha nodded in agreement.
“Got it. This subordinate will do my best to assist you, Emperor!”
“You can leave now.”
“Yes!”
Qi Sha slowly disappeared back into the air. The revving engine of a sports car can be heard outside.
Xiao Chen glanced outside the window, the edges of his lips lifted slightly.
“This girl is quite diligent. No wonder she could start her own business and achieve a high status at such a young age.”
Xiao Chen then turned to return to his daughter.
…
Su Ruoxue by then had already arrived at the company.
The Su Cosmetics Group was a company established by Su Ruoxue by herself. Although the initial capital had been provided by her father, Su Ruoxue struggled many years to make it the top cosmetics company in all of Jiangbei.
Therefore, in Jiangbei, Su Ruoxue was known for her talent alongside her beauty.
Several wealthy second-generation heirs were set on pursuing Su Ruoxue.
But it wasn’t out of love; they merely wanted to exploit her.
A woman of beauty and talent would certainly be able to birth an outstanding offspring!
“Good morning, CEO Su!”
…
“Morning, CEO Su!”
…
The staff who had just arrived warmly greeted Su Ruoxue. Su Ruoxue responded with a sunny smile as she quickly entered her office.
The door opened and a woman, scoring seven points on the attractiveness index, entered. She was wearing a gray office lady suit, her high heels clacking as she walked in.
“CEO Su, where were you yesterday? I was trying to reach you all day, but I couldn’t get through!”
“I had some private matters. Tell me what’s up.”
“CEO Su, the performance report from the last quarter is out and we’ve dropped by 17%. This is the third consecutive decline this year! If we continue like this, our company won’t be able to afford it! The shareholders agree that because you refused the proposals of the Ruan family’s young master, it led us to our current circumstance!”
Su Ruoxue smiled coldly.
“Xiao Wan, is this what you think too?”
“I…”
“Don’t worry, tell me what you’re thinking.”
“Yes!”
Xiao Wan pulled at her collar and responded:
“I personally think that it’s because there are too many vacancies within the group. In the beginning, you had to recruit a lot of the board members’ relatives in order to start the company, but several of them have no genuine talent. I won’t say anymore, but let’s talk about the R&D department first. It’s been half a year, and they haven’t released any new products. Add the Ruan Group’s underhanded attacks, then our failure is inevitable!”
Su Ruoxue nodded.
“Yes, you’re quite right!”
“But CEO Su, the shareholders have already united and decided to remove you from your position, so I’m afraid… one day…”
“I’ll be taken down by them?”
Su Ruoxue smiled gently. Xiao Wan did not dare to continue.
“They want to remove me, but we aren’t at the most critical time yet! Besides, I’ve already thought of a way to acquire some high quality products and formulas. As long as we can obtain them and stabilize and improve the company’s performance, I’ll be able to stand firmly! When that time comes, I can begin to deal with the shareholders. So, I need some time, you feel me?”
“This…”
Xiao Wan took a deep breath, her gaze firm.
“CEO Su, I will try my best to buy more time for you!”
“Thank you. Xiao Wan, I have faith in you. Don’t disappoint me!”
“Yes! CEO Su, do not worry. I won’t let you down.”
“Good. When we’ve succeeded, I won’t let you go unrewarded!”
“Thank you, CEO Su. I’ll go back to work now.”
“Go ahead.”
After Xiao Wan left, Su Ruoxue made another call.
At the same time, her expression became serious.
“Hello! Is this Grandpa Tang? I have something to trouble you with. Are you good to meet with me right now?”
…
“This is very important to me, please!”
…
“Alright. Are you at the medical hall? I’ll head over now.”
…
She hung up and let out a sigh of relief. Soon after, her gaze turned resolute.
“You wait, I’ll succeed for sure!”
