649: The bosses' desperate struggle! [Happy New Year's Eve]

In the meeting room.

Facing Li Chao's humble plea, Su Qingge's face remained frosty, the anger in her eyes undiminished.

Her voice was as cold as the winter wind, and she enunciated each word clearly:

"What I just said was for A Xuan to..."

"Kowtow! And! Apologize!"

Li Chao's face instantly flushed red with shame and humiliation upon hearing this.

His face was as red as a ripe tomato.

He gritted his teeth, his jaw muscles bulging slightly from the effort.

His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, fingernails digging deep into his palms, as if to vent the humiliation and unwillingness through this method.

At this moment, his heart was undergoing a fierce struggle, with dignity and future wildly swaying on the scales.

However, in the face of cruel reality, he ultimately succumbed.

To preserve everything he had painstakingly achieved, he took a deep breath, knelt in despair, and prepared to kowtow to Lin Xuan...

"Executive Li, you mustn't! You mustn't!"

Just as Li Chao's knees were about to touch the ground, Lin Xuan suddenly reached out and firmly stopped him.

The young man still wore that calm, unhurried smile on his face, and there was no hint of pride or arrogance in his eyes, but rather a touch of warmth and sincerity...

"Executive Li, you're the same age as my father; kneeling to me would shorten my lifespan, wouldn't it?"

"My Qingge was just joking with you; you don't need to do this."

"We are all business people striving in the marketplace; occasional friction and misunderstandings are inevitable."

"I believe that as long as we sit down and talk peacefully, we can always find a win-win solution."

"We're all friends, after all, so why be so formal? Don't you agree!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chao was first stunned.

Then he secretly glanced at Su Qingge, and seeing that she seemed to have no objection to Lin Xuan's words, he immediately felt as if he had been granted a great pardon.

He looked at Lin Xuan with sincere gratitude.

This kid is truly a good person o(╥﹏╥)o~~~~~

I treated him so badly before, yet not only did he not take the opportunity to retaliate, he even so kindly turned hostility into friendship~~~~~

I'm tearing up, everyone (Ĭ ^ Ĭ)~~~~~

Li Chao's eyes instinctively reddened, and he tightly gripped Lin Xuan's hand, immediately beginning to pledge his loyalty, his voice trembling slightly with excitement...

"Executive Lin, you truly are magnanimous. Today, I, Li Chao, have witnessed your breadth of mind and demeanor."

"From now on, whenever you need me..."

"Just say the word, and I will go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!!!"

"..."

In response, Lin Xuan smiled and nodded.

In his heart, he felt both surprised and deeply touched by his wife's protection.

When Su Qingge had previously told him that she held the 'lifelines' of these old Executives, he hadn't taken it seriously.

Who would have thought that his wife, when she finally made a move, would drop a bombshell!!!

In fact, even Su Qingge herself was a little surprised at this moment.

All this information was gathered through the Scarlet Society organization, or more precisely...

It was a "gift" that the mysterious crazy woman had investigated in advance and left for her.

Could it be that she had already foreseen today's situation?

No! Impossible!!! Absolutely impossible!!!

She isn't a god; how could a human be clairvoyant?!!!!

This must all be a coincidence!!!

...On the other side.

Witnessing their own boss change sides and choose to stand against them.

The other Executives around them were all dumbfounded, their mouths wide open as if they could fit a whole egg.

They never imagined...

That the usually arrogant and domineering Li Chao would be so easily defeated by Su Qingge's few words.

Nor did they expect Lin Xuan to be so magnanimous, letting the other party off so easily...

Because things happened so quickly, it wasn't until everything settled that everyone gradually came to their senses.

Of course, the big shots present had all been in the business world for many years; which one wasn't a shrewd operator?

They could naturally see that Li Chao had been caught by the woman and had no choice but to compromise.

They couldn't help but secretly sigh at Li Chao's foolishness, being so easily hit where it hurt...

However, a cold sneer quickly appeared on their faces.

A loss may turn out to be a gain.

In the eyes of these profit-driven capitalists, Li Chao's "betrayal" was merely an accident.

One less person meant one less person to share the spoils; for them, it might not necessarily be a bad thing?!

Everyone still firmly believed that these two inexperienced youngsters could not shake their united front, and they wanted them to give up this juicy piece of meat that was already in their mouths?

Hehehehe—

It was simply wishful thinking!!!!!!

Thinking of this.

Zhao Youting of Yuewen Group snorted coldly, taking the lead in attacking.

"Hmph! Just because you played a small trick, you think you can scare us?"

"..."

"Exactly, exactly, Li Chao just lacked ability, that's why he got caught."

Old Master Fang, the helmsman of the Fang Family, spoke up in agreement with a look of disdain, "We are different; we won't be easily defeated."

"These two youngsters are still too green."

Another Executive sneered, stood up, and said menacingly, "If they don't agree to our terms today! This project, they can forget about proceeding smoothly!"

"That's right! We will never compromise!"

"If you're so brave, try to find something to threaten us with too? Hahaha..."

"..."

Everyone spoke one after another, outwardly disdainful of Lin Xuan and the other, but inwardly they felt a faint unease.

They knew that today's confrontation was far more complex than they had imagined.

These two young people were definitely not easy to deal with.

However, the interests involved were too great; it was absolutely impossible for them to give up easily...

The new year has arrived, wishing everyone a happy New Year's Eve!

Blessing:

As New Year's Eve arrives, auspicious energy floats, with the scent of ink accompanying you on your journey.

Stories in books bring shared laughter, and the winds and clouds beneath the brush ride the tide together.
