One month ago.
It was the beginning of winter. Lin Qian had just arrived at Aida and Li Zhicheng had just returned.
Located in the western suburbs of Lin City, the Green Garden Sanatorium seemed to be filled with winter air. The leaves on the riverbank had withered and the green water was chilly.
Xu Yong, the chairman of Aida, lived in a detached building by the river. Taking advantage of the sunshine, the caretaker and assistant pushed him in his wheelchair to the lawn in front of the house, enjoying the warm sunshine and a cup of hot tea.
Soon, the long-awaited guest finally arrived.
The young man finally took off his military uniform, but his figure in casual clothes was still taller and more handsome than ordinary people, casting a straight silhouette on the green hillside.
"Dad." He stood in front of Xu Yong's wheelchair. Although he had grown into a mature man, he was still a man of few words and his eyes were still deep and calm like when he was a teenager. His shrewd father, who had been in the business world for many years, still couldn't see through his son's heart.
Xu Yong was a little sad. He patted the bench beside him and said, "Sit down."
They chatted for a short while. Xu Yong asked if his father had really retired from the army and convinced his grandfather, who was in a high position in the army, to let him go into business. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Li Zhicheng asked the assistant and caretaker about his father's physical condition. After receiving an affirmative answer, he only nodded his head lightly without much of an emotional reaction.
Xu Yong was getting old. When he was old, his state of mind became simple. All his interests and hopes were pinned on his son. So he asked with a smile, "Why did you come back to take over Aida this time?"
Li Zhicheng pushed him in the wheelchair to an empty tree and answered, "My eldest brother had a promise with me when he was alive."
Hearing him mention his eldest son who had died in a car accident three years ago, Xu Yong couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He knew that because of their parents' divorce, the two brothers had been separated since they were young, but they had always been close. If there was anyone who could walk into the heart of this quiet second son, it would probably be his eldest brother.
"What … promise?" Xu Yong's voice was a little hoarse.
Li Zhicheng stood behind him, his cap covering his eyes and expression. His voice was calm, but each word was heavy.
"If something happens to him, I will protect Aida."
So he came back.
A gentleman keeps his promise. Although they were separated by life and death and faced many difficulties, he just had to overcome all obstacles and open up a bloody path to keep the appointment.
Both father and son were silent for a while. Li Zhicheng spoke again, "I have three conditions."
After Li Zhicheng left, Xu Yong sat under the tree for a long time, deep in thought.
The assistant behind him asked tentatively, "Chairman, are you worried?"
Xu Yong smiled. "No, I'm just feeling a little emotional."
Thinking of his three harsh conditions, people couldn't help but sigh.
Although he was his son, a loyal, filial, and trustworthy son. But as expected, he had been raised well by his military grandfather. In his nature, he was already a fierce and powerful wolf.
He might really be able to save Aida.
However, just like the nature of a wolf, even though he had come to keep his promise, he would completely possess and control Aida, bringing her into his sphere of power. Even he, as her father, would not be allowed to touch it in the future.
At this time, Li Zhicheng was strolling along the river bank under the sunlight with his hat down.
Sometimes, fate was a wonderful thing. For example, when he looked up, he saw a familiar-looking woman standing under another tree not far away, looking in another direction, as if in a daze.
Before, Li Zhicheng's impression of Lin Qian was that she was a noisy woman on the train, but had an exceptionally beautiful voice. And so coincidentally, she was from Aida, so she was also his. So he helped her.
He also remembered that when he first arrived at Aida, Gu Yanzhi had told him that the assistant of the former CEO who refused to leave was also an unlucky woman. In the photo, the smile on her face was like a little wildflower blooming.
But at this moment, she stood alone under the tree with a sad expression. Her tears flashed and then disappeared. She was like an abandoned animal, silent, wronged, but very strong.
There was only one road from here to the sanatorium. She walked slowly in front, and Li Zhicheng followed her silently. When he saw her get on a bus, Li Zhicheng looked at the dark and empty suburban sky and watched her sit alone on the dark bus. After a moment of silence, he followed her.
Today, the morning after Aida's first victory in the flanking battle, in the CEO's office on the top floor.
"Do you want to read it?" Li Zhicheng's voice was as cool as water. On his fair and handsome face, his dark eyes were deep and calm.
Of course, Lin Qian wanted to read it. Even her eyes were subconsciously following the note in his hand.
But …
He maintained his sitting posture, sitting in front of her in a suit and leather shoes. The sunlight shone from behind him, painting his black suit and short hair with a faint layer of light. He put one hand on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and the other hand, holding the note, was gently placed on the back of the sofa, a little distance away from her.
"If you want to read it …" he stared at her and said slowly, "come and get it yourself."
He didn't say anything excessive, but Lin Qian's face suddenly heated up again.
Why does it sound like it's saying, "Come into my arms if you want to see it?"
Lin Qian didn't move, looking at her tightly clenched hands on her knees.
Yes, that's what he meant.
If this note contained his next strategy, it would be related to his family's life and the future of Aida's hundreds of millions of people. Why should he show it to her? Unless she was his … woman.
Unless she chose to come into his arms.
His meaning couldn't be clearer. Frank and straightforward, strong and … bewitching.
Lin Qian's face was blushing.
She raised her head and looked at him quietly.
It was still the same expressionless face, his eyes dark and deep, his posture straight. Lin Qian suddenly remembered that night a long time ago, when he sat beside her in silence, eating roasted sweet potatoes, the tiger claws beside his ears moving.
"Mr. Li," she answered softly, but calmly, "I think I'd better not read it. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. "
She nodded at him, stood up, and walked out the door.
From the corner of her eye, she could see him sitting still, looking at her.
Just as she reached the door, she heard his voice again, "Lin Qian."
Lin Qian stopped, turned around and looked at him with a gentle smile, "What else?"
He looked at her quietly, his eyes bright. "That night, it was the first time I kissed a woman."
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything. However, she heard his cool voice ring out again, "This is also the first time I want a woman."
Lin Qian suddenly looked up at him.
F * ck …
He made it clear!
After she avoided it tactfully, his reaction was … not to retreat, but to make it even more clear!
Looking at his beautiful dark eyes, Lin Qian's vision seemed to be beating along with her heart.
Now this is great, how … should I answer him?
That same morning, Chen Zheng sat in his office, listening to his subordinate report on Aida's sales figures from the day before. He was stunned.
He couldn't believe what he had heard, but the facts were so clear in front of him. Some speculation, some whimsical possibility, flashed through his mind. This possibility made his mood more and more gloomy.
Finally, after a long period of silence, he finally linked all the clues together. His expression changed again and again, and finally, he fixed on a cold smile.
His subordinate asked tentatively, "Mr. Chen, what should we do?"
Chen Zheng grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the floor, saying coldly, "What should we do? There's nothing we can do now, isn't there? "
He raised his head, looking at the brilliant winter blue sky outside the window.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that SMQ's original share of the mid-range market was in danger of collapsing from where Li Zhicheng pointed his sword.
He swore in his heart that once he got rid of the Ming Sheng project, he would counterattack with all his strength and take back this territory.
At the same time, in the CEO's office of New Bori.
Ning Weikai heard his assistant's report on Aida's movements these days, at first he was stunned, then he smiled slightly.
"So, the spy we planted in Aida has been detained by the police because he changed the website data?" he asked softly.
The assistant answered, "Yes. But he didn't do it, and I haven't received any news, so I can't find out. "
Ning Weikai sat behind the large office desk, his slender white fingers lightly tapping on the surface of the desk. After a while, he smiled and looked up at his assistant, "Yuan Jun, we have a rival."
His assistant, Yuan Jun, had been with him since he started his business many years ago, so he could see this situation clearly. He thought for a while, nodded, and said, "This Li Zhicheng is indeed a powerful person. But with Aida's strength, even if this brand is established, there's still a big gap between it and New Bori. It's like throwing an egg against a stone. "
Ning Weikai nodded, "Yes, the good thing is that I'm best at bullying the weak and killing them all."
Yuan Jun smiled faintly and handed him the detailed information he had collected on the people of Aida.
Ning Weikai read it carefully, and when he reached the end, he suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Lin Qian? Is it Lin Qian, the 25-year-old girl who graduated from the University of X. She looks smooth but is actually arrogant? "
Yuan Jun was a bit surprised, "Mr. Ning, you know her?"
Ning Weikai, who always played everything down, laughed and scolded, was silent this time. He stared at the thin page of information about the woman for a while, then raised his head.
"How could I not know her? She's my first love. " The smile on his face grew wider. "When we broke up, this girl's heart was broken by me."
