This unexpected episode that happened when applying for a business license in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau this morning made Su Xiaowan feel the power brought by that identity and status for the first time.

She didn't understand until this moment why people like to chase fame and fortune, and they don't hesitate to pay any price on that road, even sacrifice their own dignity.Now it seems that the sense of accomplishment and vanity that can control everything after getting it will really make people lost.

But is it worth changing yourself for it?She asked herself silently in her heart.

The bewilderment in Su Xiaowan's eyes fell into Chu Lingyun's. He knew that this woman might be because she was still struggling with what happened just now, or it might be because she was puzzled that she could use an unconventional way to solve the problem. .

"If you choose to start your own business, you will encounter many such things in the future. This world is not only beautiful in your eyes. Whether you like it or hate it, they will always exist. If you have no way to avoid With all these things in place, you have to find a way to adapt to them.”

"I understand."

Su Xiaowan nodded as if she had realized something, she remembered everything that Chu Lingyun had taught her, and maybe one day, she would use it.

"Thank you for today's matter."

"It's nothing, I will do what I promised you."

Chu Lingyun's words suddenly reminded her of Ah Bei in Country T. He promised to marry her, but he broke his promise, and finally he chose to walk away.

Hearing him say this in a different capacity at this time, time has passed, Su Xiaowan didn't know what kind of mentality she should have when facing it, her nose was a little sore, but she held back that emotion and smiled He said, "Well, I believe you. If that's the case, I'll treat you to a meal tonight as a thank you."

"today?"

"What's the matter? Do you have something to do?" Seeing that Chu Lingyun hesitated, Su Xiaowan thought he was reluctant.

"That's not true. The main reason is that I have a dinner appointment with someone tonight, and it may take another day."

"Oh, yes, that's right. Your business is so big and your business is so busy. You have to face too many customers every day, so you always have to entertain."

Men always seem to like to put their career first. Women say that they like men who are self-motivated, but they also hope that the man she loves can spend more time with her. Su Xiaowan, who is somewhat ambivalent, laughs at herself. Smiled, did she think too much of herself?

"You're thinking wrong, that's not the reason. Except for large-scale events and banquets, I rarely go out to eat alone with clients."

"Then you are..."

"Oh, Xia Xinqing invited me to dinner."

"Her?!" Su Xiaowan was a little surprised and almost shouted out.

She really couldn't figure out what it meant for Chu Lingyun to go out to eat alone with that woman. She was very clear about the fact that the two of them almost got married, but then Chu Lingyun chose to escape from the marriage. Could it be that the two of them are going to rekindle their old relationship?

Although her speculation was groundless, it still made Su Xiaowan feel very uncomfortable.

She could accept that Chu Lingyun didn't like her, but she couldn't let him get too close to that Xia Xinqing.

After dealing with that woman a few times, she felt that the other party was a woman with a dark psychology. Maybe she would not be Chu Lingyun's final choice, but that person definitely couldn't be Xia Xinqing.

She is not worthy of Chu Lingyun at all, not because of her identity and status.

It seemed that Su Xiaowan's surprised expression could be seen. Chu Lingyun knew that she must have thought of the past between him and Xia Xinqing. Although he didn't know why he had to explain to her, he still blurted out the reason: "Because the last time I always felt that I owed her something about the wedding, but she found me the day before yesterday and said that she wanted me to have the last meal with her, as a complete ending. That's all."

Su Xiaowan listened to Chu Lingyun's explanation, although she couldn't tell what was wrong, she just felt something was wrong.

"Well, if you're driving, don't drink."

"Although it wasn't my intention, I'm not sure if I'll drink. After all, this meal was proposed by her, and it was the only last request. I hope to satisfy her as much as possible."

"Then let Uncle Zhang take you there."

The words of instruction came out of her mouth, but Su Xiaowan couldn't tell whether she said this because of concern, or if it was an instinctive politeness.

Su Xiaowan's words, like a wife telling her husband to go out to socialize, made Chu Lingyun stunned for a moment, the feeling of being like a family member flashed across his body like a warm current flowing through his whole body.

Withdrawing his absent-minded gaze, Chu Lingyun hummed, started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

Su Xiaowan, who was sent home by Chu Lingyun, sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time, frowning tightly. She really couldn't figure it out. Xia Xinqing had met her several times, and the two of them had always confronted the same person, that is Chu Lingyun.

But according to what Chu Lingyun said, Xia Xinqing was going to settle it all at once. Is this kind of thing possible?

Women's feelings come and go slowly, it doesn't mean that just one meal can wipe away the accumulated feelings, especially for a woman like Xia Xinqing, it is not difficult to feel it from the conversation with her When this woman's feelings for Chu Lingyun even reached the point of paranoia, then there was no reason to prove that she would break up with Chu Lingyun peacefully.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaowan suddenly came to a conclusion that even she couldn't believe, that was something Xia Xinqing was planning. Although she didn't know the specific situation, she felt that things were not that simple for no reason.

And her intuition made her a little restless.

Call Chu Lingyun and tell her that Xia Xinqing has no good intentions?Needless to say it was Chu Lingyun's statement, even if she heard it, she would think it was very absurd, but if Xia Xinqing really had any thoughts, what would she do to Chu Lingyun?How will this man be hurt?

These thoughts and conjectures made Su Xiaowan unintentionally tidy up the untidy room, wandering back and forth in the living room, imagining all kinds of possibilities in her heart.

After a long time, she suddenly thought of a way.

One is somewhat dangerous, but it is the only way.

After Chu Lingyun sent Su Xiaowan back, she returned to the head office of Chufeng Department Store. In the past few days, the turnover of all large and medium-sized supermarkets under the entire Chufeng Department Store Group has declined to varying degrees, although the magnitude is very small. It's so small that if you don't deliberately count it, most people won't notice it.

But as a CEO who is extremely rigorous in his career, Chu Lingyun has keenly captured this change in statistics.

"Mr. Chu, do you think it was accidental?"

Liu Wanhua held the performance reports sent by various supermarket chains, and frowned. As Chu Lingyun's most trusted assistant, although she never took the initiative to participate in the company's affairs, she always When Chu Lingyun was entangled and troubled about business matters, she always took all the time to take all these things as her own job.

"What do you think?"

Instead of answering Liu Wanhua's question, Chu Lingyun asked back.

"Mr. Chu, this is not the outdated issue we discussed last time. Although it seems from all the data that all the data have not changed much, if all the shopping malls and surrounding chains have appeared more or less This is not an accidental phenomenon.”

Liu Wanhua answered very seriously. This is a conclusion she came to after carefully comparing the business reports of all branches in the past two months.

"so what?"

After listening to Liu Wanhua's analysis, Chu Lingyun's expression was very calm, as if all this was within his expectation and control, without the slightest panic.

Liu Wanhua was not surprised that Chu Lingyun would have such a reaction. The calmness of this man beyond his age made people a little frightened. It seemed that no matter how dangerous the situation was, the situation was under his control.

"So, I suspect that the markets around us and even the major shopping malls in downtown Fushi have begun to be dragged in by an unknown force."

Speaking of this, Liu Wanhua glanced at Chu Lingyun with some hesitation, that expressionless reaction made Liu Wanhua feel a little unconfident in her own judgment for the first time.

"Of course, Mr. Chu, all of this is my guesswork, not based on much fact."

Chu Lingyun did not deny her thoughts, but walked to the window of the office without saying a word, looked at the pedestrians coming and going downstairs outside the window, and frowned slightly.

And Liu Wanhua stood quietly behind him, neither speaking nor leaving, as if she was waiting for Chu Lingyun's next words.

Finally, Chu Lingyun turned his head and said to Liu Wanhua: "Wanhua, you will be very busy these days."

"President Chu?"

Liu Wanhua looked at Chu Lingyun with some doubts, not knowing what this sentence meant.
"Wanhua, this time, we can't just focus on Fushi, and find someone to investigate our surrounding cities to see if there are any new trading companies."

When Liu Wanhua heard it, she suddenly understood the meaning of Chu Lingyun's words.

"Mr. Chu, I understand. I'll find someone to do it now."

"By the way, wait a minute," before Liu Wanhua turned around, Chu Lingyun called her out again.

"Mr. Chu, is there anything else?"

"The matter I have confessed must not be announced to the outside world, but must be carried out in secret. Don't startle the enemy and make the opponent alert."

Liu Wanhua looked at the only man who let her move with adoring eyes, and nodded vigorously.

"President Chu, I understand."
