Xiao Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. His expression was still calm. He didn't seem nervous because everyone was looking at him.
After a brief silence, Xiao Zheng looked up and glanced at Li Qiuhan first, then his eyes fell on Siyan's face. "Mr. Tang, maybe you don't know my relationship with him."
"I know he's your subordinate." Tang Qingshan said calmly.
He didn't know?
Of course he knew.
When Xiao Zheng crippled Yan Shang, wasn't it because of this man with glasses who was assassinated?
There were many things that Tang Qingshan didn't participate in. But with his status, as long as it was something big in Yan Jin. How could it be hidden from his eyes and ears?
He even knew that Siyan and Xiao Zheng were good friends overseas. Even brothers.
"Of course, you might know everything. After all, Mr. Tang is a big shot in the business circle of Yan Jin. "Xiao Zheng smiled and suddenly changed the topic. "My brother likes your subordinate. That is Li Qiuhan. "
"Mr. Tang. What do you think? "Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Their current position means that they can't be too close to each other. But I don't want my brother to throw away his feelings for work. That's not what I want to see. "
The atmosphere became more and more serious.
Xiao Zheng said everything bluntly. Including why he wanted to poach Li Qiuhan.
Lin Xiaozhu also fell into deep thought.
This damned brother-in-law — — is actually helping his brother to steal a woman, and to steal Tang Qingshan's head. Isn't he too arrogant? Isn't he too domineering?
At the same time, Lin Xiaozhu felt a bit jealous.
Hmph!
He can steal a woman for his brother. Why not steal me too? Am I not as important as a brother in your heart?
Li Qiuhan only felt her scalp go numb, and her heart was beating like thunder.
She never thought that the scene in front of her would happen.
She even made the decision to gradually alienate Siyan.
Because she couldn't give up milk and bread for love. She also didn't want Siyan to do that. It was irrational and unintelligent. If Siyan really did this, she would at most be touched, but she would not accept it, let alone like it.
For a woman of her age, finding a reliable man was more important than anything else.
After a brief moment of silence, Tang Qingshan stared unblinkingly at Xiao Zheng and said: "What should I say?"
"Release him or not," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"Li Qiuhan is my right-hand man. He's also the person in charge of this project, "Tang Qingshan pursed his lips and said. "Can I suspect that you have ulterior motives in poaching her?"
Tang Qingshan was a businessman first and foremost. Next was the leader. It was impossible for him to give his capable subordinates to his partners for no reason. It was too dangerous. It was also very easy for the Lin family to fall into a passive position.
Once Li Qiuhan jumped into Xin Ao. The information in her head that was originally beneficial to the Lins will now be used by Xin Ao.
This was a responsibility that even Tang Qingshan didn't dare to bear.
The reason why he was where he was today was not because of his deep friendship with Lin Chaotian. Nor was it because he and Lin Chaotian knew each other well. It was because he contributed to the process of Lin Chaotian's silent climb up the ladder. Thus gaining Lin Chaotian's approval.
Otherwise — — how could he become Lin Chaotian's confidant?
The business world was like a battlefield. Like purgatory. Only the strong could survive, could stay. Only death awaited the weak.
Hearing Tang Qingshan's words, Siyan's heart sank. Quite regretful.
He understood what Tang Qingshan was implying.
Regardless of whether Li Qiuhan was important in the Lins family. But at least at this point, he couldn't just give her to Xin Ao, to Xiao Zheng. And in the future?
It was even more impossible …
When Tang Qingshan couldn't afford to offend Xiao Zheng, he had enough reason to refuse. Not to mention the future?
The tea cools when people leave. Siyan understood. So did Li Qiuhan.
After a brief silence, Li Qiuhan suddenly picked up a glass of wine, adjusted her emotions, and looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile. "Mr Xiao, thank you for your appreciation. But as an employee of the Lins. I've been nurtured and promoted by the Lins for so many years. And I can't leave for no reason. Thank you for your kindness, but I appreciate it. Let me toast to you. Let's stop this topic. Even if I can't come, I'm still working with Xin Ao. Isn't that right? "
Li Qiuhan's answer was very appropriate. Not only did she not offend Xiao Zheng, but she also saved Tang Qingshan's face. It was very appropriate.
What kind of person was Tang Qingshan?
Even if Xiao Zheng was like the sun in the sky today, his popularity would die down sooner or later. Sooner or later, he would return to the right track. But Tang Qingshan's experience and foundation were there for all to see.
So she couldn't offend Tang Qingshan, her old boss, just for this so-called jumping nest. Of course, compared to Tang Qingshan, Xiao Zheng was still a bit lacking. But in front of Li Qiuhan, he was a high and mighty existence.
Her heart felt like it was being pierced by a needle.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at Siyan.
She was just trying to use all her wits to smooth out this drama of poaching before she lost her mind.
Jumping nest?
Obviously not.
Her only choice was to stay.
And if she wanted to stay, she had to make sure that Tang Qingshan wouldn't get angry. And — — she had to thank Xiao Zheng for his kindness.
She was even more grateful for Siyan's love for her.
She had never experienced such love before.
In the past, when she was in Weiwei, if a man treated her better, more considerate, and gentler. She would be moved. She would think, hmm, this man is really not bad.
But now, she was facing Siyan's deep love. But she couldn't accept it.
The more things she held in her hands, the more space in her heart was occupied.
She couldn't bear such deep love. Love wasn't the only thing she needed in her life.
Milk and bread were the most important things.
Maybe it was realistic, maybe it was cruel. But who could deny it? Who could scold her for being heartless and insensitive?
Siyan's heart was in pain. A little suffocated.
This was the first time he was truly in love. Even though he had slept with countless women of all colors. But this was the first time he was truly in love.
But judging from the current situation, this relationship might end before it even started.
Seems like — — Pony was right. Women, especially women in high positions, not everyone could be like sister-in-law, who could give up everything for the boss.
But he didn't blame Li Qiuhan at all. On the contrary, he felt sorry for Li Qiuhan.
Siyan could feel whether a woman loved him or not.
From the way she cooked for him, washed his clothes, and tucked him in, he could tell that she loved him. And she loved him no less than he loved her.
But she couldn't bear the repercussions of this love. She didn't have the courage to bear the heavy pressure and burden.
For the first time in his life, Siyan wished he could be as strong as Xiao Zheng. If he was strong enough, rich enough. If he stood at a high enough position. He could tell Li Qiuhan: Stop working, I'll support you.
But he didn't have the ability.
Because he couldn't afford what Li Qiuhan wanted.
So he didn't blame Li Qiuhan for being heartless. He only blamed himself for being useless and incompetent. He couldn't give the woman he loved everything she wanted. He couldn't even give her — the right to love!
