"No." Li Qianxue refused rather bluntly. "You can find someone else. I'm not interested in being your companion. "
Su Chenghui's eyes darkened a little, but he still refused to give up. "Listen to my plan. This is just a small banquet. If you don't want to be my companion, we can go together that day. "
"Su Chenghui, we were going to attend together that day. What does it matter if I become your companion or not? Also, we are divorced. Are you afraid that people won't misunderstand our relationship if I appear in public with you? "
"I know we're divorced. Don't worry. No one will misunderstand. "
Ever since Li Qianxue announced in Lin City that she had broken off all ties with Su Peizhen, everyone knew that they were divorced.
"I'll refuse no matter what." Li Qianxue didn't give him a chance at all. "Su Chenghui, you don't have to think about it. You know how much I don't like standing with you."
Su Chenghui was rejected, but he wasn't angry. He looked at Li Qianxue with a gentle look in his eyes. For a moment, his gaze made Li Qianxue think that he was looking at a willful and mischievous child.
Li Qianxue was inexplicably annoyed. Her face turned cold, and she unceremoniously asked him to leave.
"Get out. I still have something to do. "
Su Chenghui wasn't surprised by her sudden change in attitude. After these few encounters, he had become more and more aware of his limits.
If he wanted to get close to Li Qianxue, he had to be careful not to cross her bottom line. She was still unhappy with him, and he knew it.
He carefully grasped the boundaries of this place and cautiously probed. He would never give up on Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue didn't relax until Su Chenghui left. It wasn't exactly relaxing. It was just that he felt less annoyed, but he didn't really relax much.
She knitted her brows tightly, and there was a flash of gloom in her eyes.
Su Chenghui —
… …
Sunday. When Li Qianxue arrived at the tennis court, Wang Tao was already there.
Not only him, but Chief Chen from the Urban Construction Bureau, Chief Gao from the Investment Promotion Agency, and Li Junsheng were also there.
As the president of the Lin City branch of Tianyu Group, Wang Tao was naturally very familiar with these people. After greeting Li Qianxue, they chatted for a while.
Li Qianxue greeted him and turned to change. When he came out of the changing room, he saw a very familiar person coming out of the men's fitting room opposite.
Su Chenghui. He had changed into a white tennis jersey. This outfit made him look much younger than usual.
At this moment, if someone said that he was not even forty, there would be people who would believe it. Li Qianxue was not in the mood to appreciate his face, which was a few years younger at this time. She just frowned because she saw him.
"Qianxue, what a coincidence." As he spoke, he looked at Li Qianxue. Sportswear suits her.
Her bright and beautiful face was a little more lively because she had changed her clothes. He instinctively took a step forward, as if he wanted to see her more clearly.
Is it a coincidence? This was not a coincidence at all.
"I don't think it's a coincidence. I really didn't know that CEO Wang asked you out."
If she had known that Su Chenghui would come, she would have turned him down.
Su Chenghui pretended not to understand the meaning of Li Qianxue's words and looked at her with great admiration. "Qianxue, you look very good today."
Li Qianxue didn't want to talk to him anymore. She turned around and walked out.
Su Chenghui followed beside her. He held a tennis racket in his hand. "Let's play together later?"
Without getting a response, Su Chenghui seemed to have thought of something and said, "I remember that you were the one who taught me tennis."
Li Qianxue didn't stop walking, but her face was a little gloomy.
It wasn't just tennis. Su Chenghui's golf was also taught by her.
The Su family's family was ordinary, and Su Chenghui's mother was just a nurse. Even though Su Chenghui had great ambitions, he had little contact with these things.
After marrying her, even if Su Chenghui was unwilling, he still wanted to make a name for himself in the Li Corporation.
There were fewer social engagements in the business world. In the past, golf was popular in the upper class of Lin City. She followed Old Master Li to do business, so Li Qianxue naturally dealt with those people since she was young.
After marrying Su Chenghui, in order to make it easier for him to socialize with those bosses, she taught him how to play golf.
She still remembered her thoughts at that time. On one hand, it was to let Su Chenghui socialize with those bosses smoothly. On the other hand, it was because she wanted more opportunities to get close to him.
At that time, she was very naive.
She always felt that as long as she gave in, one day, Su Chenghui would see her good, and he would see her strengths.
She taught him very carefully. She still remembered that from the beginning of golf, how to swing and how to hit the ball.
Su Chenghui was a very smart person. His ability was not only reflected in his business ability, but he also learned these things very quickly.
In the past, she didn't understand why. After a long time, she understood that for Su Chenghui, the most important thing was to succeed in the fastest time and accumulate his own connections.
That was why he put in so much effort.
She remembered that for a long time, Su Chenghui almost didn't have much time to rest. All his time was booked up.
In addition to work, he also learned many other abilities. At that time, she had just become pregnant. Although she didn't look bad, she was always more tired than usual.
However, he devoted himself to work. Not only could she not complain, but she also felt gratified. She was happy.
After all, the harder he worked, the less burden she had on him.
Su Chenghui had a separate study on the second floor. At that time, he often stayed in the study until late at night. For a while, she thought that it was because he was working too hard and wanted to achieve results as soon as possible.
But later, she found out that it was just because he wanted to avoid her. He didn't want to be with her, and he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with her.
But at that time, she didn't know. She thought that he was working hard to achieve results in the company as soon as possible.
So she didn't hold back. She shared everything she knew and learned with him.
Not only her, but also Old Master Li. Old Master Li loved her too much. Even though he knew that Su Chenghui wasn't a good match, he still agreed to be with them after she became pregnant.
After she and Su Chenghui got married, he taught Su Chenghui his connections and experience bit by bit, just like she had done for him.
He was also a very talented person. For everything he could use, he constantly absorbed like a sponge. These abilities would become Su Chenghui's bonus points in the future.
He had gradually transformed in the upper-class society of Lin City. His initial naivety, anxiety, and incompatibility when he first entered the upper-class society had disappeared from his every move.
Many people used to laugh at her behind her back. She was the daughter of the Li family, but she chose a penniless commoner. At that time, there were countless people waiting to marry into the Li family.
Not to mention those far away, just the Qiu family, the Luo family, and the Song family, which family didn't want to marry her? But she didn't move. She just liked Su Chenghui.
She watched Su Chenghui improve bit by bit and succeed bit by bit. She didn't feel afraid that her power would be taken away. Instead, she felt proud.
When Su Chenghui gradually grew up and slowly gained a foothold in the Li family, the contempt and jealousy behind him lessened.
Later, Su Chenghui completed a few very beautiful cases. After proving his ability with his skills and foresight, those people said that she had foresight. They said that she knew how to find such a potential stock.
At that time, she was happy. She was happy that she had foresight and that she had chosen such a man.
It wasn't until later that she realized that she was wrong.
"Qianxue?"
Su Chenghui's voice woke her up from her reverie. Only then did she realize that she had already walked to the tennis court outside.
The weather today was good. It was a cloudy day. The court was close to the suburbs. When the wind blew, not only did it not feel hot, but it also made people feel cool.
Li Qianxue didn't look at Su Chenghui. Instead, she looked at the court in front of her.
The few who had arrived early had already left the court. Director Chen was on one side with Director Gao, and Li Junsheng was on the other side with Wang Tao. The four of them had already started to play doubles.
Li Qianxue stood there without moving. She came out today because of Wang Tao's invitation and because Li Junsheng was there.
As for the land in the North District, it wasn't completely settled yet. She also wanted to know the latest direction.
Now that she saw that they had all left the court, she wasn't in a hurry to leave the court.
"Qianxue, let's go too."
Su Chenghui stood beside her and looked at her with a hint of eagerness in his eyes. Li Qianxue looked at him expressionlessly and didn't move.
The past that she had just recalled made her mood very bad.
Su Chenghui acted as if he didn't notice. "Since you're here, you can't just watch, right?"
There was a smile on his face and his expression was gentle. At this moment, Li Qianxue couldn't control the irritation in her body. She had the urge to slap the smile on his face.
She gripped the racket in her hand tightly, and the irritation in her heart turned into hostility. She looked at him coldly, turned around, and took the lead to walk to another tennis court next to the block net.
It wasn't that Su Chenghui didn't feel the change in her mood at that moment. Although he didn't know why her expression suddenly changed, as long as she was willing to answer him, it was a kind of progress.
He followed behind her, and the two of them stood on either side. Standing behind the end line, Li Qianxue served first. She held the ball in her hand, exerted force with her wrist, and threw the ball into the air. Then, she swung the racket.
The tennis ball flew towards Su Chenghui. He had been holding the racket tightly. When he saw the ball flying over, he was ready to go.
The ball hit the ground and bounced. Su Chenghui swung the racket. The tennis ball flew over again.
Li Qianxue was annoyed, and she hit the ball a little hard. Although she wasn't young, because she had been diligent in taking care of herself over the years and usually exercised, her physical strength was naturally not bad compared to her peers.
Su Chenghui sensed that she was in a bad mood. When a few of the balls flew over, it could be said that they were aimed directly at his face.
He didn't know how he had offended her. Since she had done her best, he had no reason not to fight.
For a moment, the two of them were fighting fiercely.
Director Gao and Director Chen were not much older than the two of them, but they couldn't compete with them in terms of physical strength, so they had already retreated.
On the other side, only Li Junsheng and Wang Tao were left to fight alone.
Director Chen and Director Gao watched Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue fight so fiercely. They looked at Li Junsheng and Wang Tao, and their physical strength was still very good.
Therefore, during the intermission, they suggested that Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue play against Wang Tao and Li Junsheng.
Li Qianxue played well, but Su Chenghui wasn't inferior. He was taught by her, so he was very familiar with her style.
Li Qianxue didn't take advantage of him, and the two of them barely tied.
Now that she heard Director Chen's suggestion, she looked at Su Chenghui and thought of Li Junsheng's skills just now, so she wanted to suggest that she be in a team with Li Junsheng.
Unexpectedly, Li Junsheng heard about it and said that he wanted to form a team with Wang Tao.
This way, it became Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue on a team, and Li Junsheng and Wang Tao on a team.
Li Qianxue wanted to refuse, but Su Chenghui had already gone to the court. Looking at Li Junsheng, who was sweating but in high spirits, she could only follow him to the side.
When Li Qianxue approached, Su Chenghui said in a very low voice, "I'll serve first later. We'll attack first to defend …"
"I know how to play. I don't need you to teach me."
"Qianxue, I saw Li Junsheng play just now. His skills are not bad."
Su Chenghui sincerely praised him. Even he had to sigh with emotion at a young man like Li Junsheng who had extraordinary skills. The new generation surpassed the old. His skills were not bad.
He knew that Li Qianxue didn't want to be in a team with him, but he also knew that she hadn't vented her anger just now. "Look, we can …"
He approached her and wanted to talk about the tactics between the two of them. His hot breath touched Li Qianxue's cheek. She didn't want to listen at all and took a step back.
"Su Chenghui, do you want me to remind you? I taught you how to play. "
Su Chenghui was speechless and didn't say anything else. Of course, Li Qianxue was the one who taught him in the beginning, but later, he had more opportunities to play than her.
After Li Qianxue finished speaking, she didn't look at him anymore. She picked up the racket and stood on the end line. Su Chenghui looked at her position and stood beside her.
This time, Li Junsheng served first. Su Chenghui didn't move. He looked at Li Qianxue's eyes and let her catch the ball.
Li Qianxue played very fiercely. The anger in her heart hadn't dissipated yet. She didn't like to recall the past. Every time she recalled it, it made her feel uncomfortable.
Now that there were others around, she couldn't vent her anger on Su Chenghui, so she could only vent it through the ball.
After a few rounds, Li Junsheng's desire to play just now disappeared. He didn't seem to expect Li Qianxue to have such good skills at her age.
For a moment, both Li Junsheng and Wang Tao were doing their best to deal with her.
After a few rounds, Su Chenghui also cooperated with Li Qianxue. The two of them were extremely strong. Li Junsheng and Wang Tao, the two juniors, couldn't gain the upper hand for a while.
At the end of the game, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui actually won.
Li Qianxue was already sweating. She held the racket and felt that the frustration in her heart had dissipated a lot.
"Auntie, you have good skills," Li Junsheng praised sincerely. The other party was Huo Jinyao's mother-in-law, so he would always give her some face. This sentence was from the bottom of his heart.
"It's more than good skills." Wang Tao's forehead was covered in sweat, but because he had seen it a few times recently, he joked, "Speaking of which, President Li and President Su work really well together."
Wasn't that so? They went back and forth, you advanced and I retreated. Whether it was defense or offense, the two of them were very tacit.
"I always thought that my skills were good, but I didn't expect that …" Wang Tao panted and wanted to say that he had lost to the two old people.
However, looking at the two of them who looked much younger because of their sportswear and didn't look much older than him, he really couldn't say the word 'old people'.
"Auntie and uncle are indeed amazing." Li Junsheng was a little panting after playing for a long time. "Especially the two of them work well together."
Director Gao didn't know much about the Li family. When he saw this, he couldn't help but praise, "As expected of a married couple for many years. This tacit understanding is really incomparable to ordinary people. "
Director Chen also praised, but Li Qianxue's expression changed at this moment.
Su Chenghui smiled, and that smile came from the bottom of his heart. He stood beside Li Qianxue, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Yes. After more than 12 years of husband and wife, the tacit understanding is indeed incomparable. "
The corners of Li Qianxue's lips were also curled up, but there was a hidden gloominess in her calm eyes.
She couldn't lose her temper. Li Junsheng looked at Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui and raised his hand. "Let's rest for a while. We'll play again later. "
The six of them sat down, and the few of them walked to the chairs placed beside them.
Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue fell behind. Su Chenghui walked to the seat and pulled out the chair for her.
Li Qianxue almost wanted to leave immediately, but now was not the time.
She had no choice but to sit down. After playing for a while, everyone was a little thirsty. The few men didn't care much. They picked up the water on the table and drank directly.
Su Chenghui called the waiter at the stadium and asked them to bring warm water over.
"She can't drink cold water."
"President Li is so considerate." Director Chen smiled with a teasing expression on his face.
"Isn't that so? I heard that President Li and President Su are the model couple of Lin City, but I didn't believe it. Today, I see that it's true. "
Li Qianxue really wanted to stand up now.
Li Junsheng knew that the two of them had divorced, but he didn't know the inside story. Seeing that the two of them were working together on a project and working so well together, they were probably going to remarry, right?
"President Li and President Su's tacit understanding is indeed very good," Wang Tao answered. During this period of time, he had spent a lot of time with the two of them, so he naturally knew more about them.
Almost everything Su Chenghui said, Li Qianxue could immediately follow up.
The two of them often understood what the other person meant as long as the other person started the conversation. Sometimes, they didn't even need to speak. They could understand what the other person wanted to say just by looking at each other.
What he didn't know was that even though Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue hadn't been on good terms for so many years, their tacit understanding in business was indeed shown.
As long as it was related to the Li Corporation, the two of them could always reach an agreement. This had nothing to do with feelings. It was purely a habit of time.
Li Qianxue knew that Su Chenghui didn't like her, but she wouldn't be sloppy in business.
As for Su Chenghui, he had changed the child on impulse as revenge. It would be a lie to say that he didn't regret it. However, the longer time passed, the more there was no way to reverse it. He could only focus on business.
After Old Master Li fell ill, the power of the Li Corporation was almost completely handed over to the two of them.
It had nothing to do with love. The tacit understanding that had been honed for twenty years might be completely suitable for business at first. However, after a long time, they would eventually figure it out in private matters.
If others said that they had a good tacit understanding, Li Qianxue wouldn't be able to refute it at all. Not only could she not refute it, but she couldn't even get up and leave.
Because Director Gao was also here today. He brought the latest developments of the factory that had attracted investment.
The group of people sat down and rested for a while. Director Gao finally spoke.
"Mayor Li came to me a few days ago and talked about the land in the North District. Coincidentally, Director Zhou of the Environmental Protection Bureau was also there. He talked about some problems that day, but the higher-ups haven't approved it yet. Although that land is in the suburbs, it's still too close to the city. If the other party really opens a factory there, the Environmental Protection Bureau won't be able to approve it, so this matter will be left alone. You can rest assured now. "
Today, he asked Li Qianxue out, which meant this matter. Now, everywhere was paying attention to environmental protection, and environmental protection was above performance.
It was also Director Zhou who found out that the company had a bad record and illegally discharged pollutants in other cities. Now that they wanted to open a factory, they had to relocate the site, and the approval would be stricter than before.
Li Junsheng turned to look at Li Qianxue when he heard this. "Auntie, can you rest assured now?"
"With Mayor Li here, I have nothing to worry about."
Li Qianxue's words were beautiful. She also praised Li Junsheng at the same time.
Li Junsheng smiled. He had been in Lin City for more than two years. There was a transfer order from the higher-ups, so he wouldn't be staying in Lin City for long.
However, he really didn't want something bad to happen in Lin City while he was here.
That factory could indeed record a performance, but on the other hand, if there were any sequelae in the future, it would also be used against him for not doing a good job.
Therefore, after giving Director Zhou a warning, this matter could only be left unsettled.
At the same time, he could give the Li family and Tianyu Group face, so it didn't affect him.
The group of people used the land in the North District to chat. After chatting, they played football for a while. It was already evening.
Li Junsheng was the host and invited them to dinner. Li Qianxue couldn't refuse. The land in the North District was under Su Chenghui's plan. Even if a factory was built, it wouldn't affect her much.
But now that a new business circle was built, it could bring the Li Corporation's performance to a higher level.
If she wanted to accept this favor, it was impossible for her not to go to social events. It was just that with Su Chenghui around, she was still annoyed. After getting into the car, her expression didn't look good.
At the dining table, Director Chen and Director Gao could be considered experienced people and had excellent alcohol tolerance. Li Junsheng was the heaviest drinker, but he drank a few glasses.
Wang Tao had been working with Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui a lot recently, so he toasted the two of them.
Li Qianxue didn't drink at first, but it was because Su Chenghui stood up and blocked the wine for her. Although they were divorced, others didn't know the inside story. When they were arranging seats, the two of them sat together again.
Su Chenghui sat next to Li Qianxue. When Director Chen came over to toast, he took the initiative to stand up and pick up the glass in front of him.
"Qianxue isn't good at drinking, so I'll drink for her."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Li Qianxue looked at him like this. Those who didn't know the truth would think that they weren't divorced.
At first, he blocked two glasses of wine for her, but she didn't say anything. When it was the third glass, the anger in Li Qianxue's heart couldn't be suppressed anymore.
