Su Yue got the cold shoulder from Su Yuze. He currently had no bargaining chips at all to discuss this matter with Su Yuze, so it was no wonder he was rejected.
However, Su Yue was still unwilling to give up. He had to think of a way. He wasn't willing to be just a weakling. He must find a way to take back these things!
"Husband, how did your negotiation with Yuze go?" Qian Yingnan asked.
Su Yue shook his head. "It was fruitless." He sat down on the sofa. Qian Yingnan poured him a glass of water. "You know Yuze's temper."
"This..." Qian Yingnan frowned slightly. But after all, they were relatives. Couldn't he help them out?
"Moreover, I've lost everything now. What do you think I can use to talk to Yuze?" Su Kaiming was really heartless. Once he was suspended, he blocked all of his own paths.
Su Yue ruffled his hair irritably. Qian Yingnan fell silent for a moment. Was their family really going to decline like this?
Su Ziqi was standing on the stairs and heard their conversation clearly. Suddenly, he rushed down the stairs. "Mom and Dad, I'll go talk to Brother Yuze." He didn't believe that Brother Yuze was really that cold - hearted!
Su Yue looked up at him. This son, who had always been irresponsible, finally stood up for him today. But... "It was useless even when I went. Do you think it'll work if you go?"
Su Ziqi was currently unemployed. He knew very well that if things continued like this, their family would be finished!
"How do you know if you don't try?" Su Ziqi said stubbornly.
The next day
Su Ziqi arrived early at the downstairs of Shengshi Company. Looking at the towering building in front of him, he took a deep breath and walked in.
The receptionist looked at Su Ziqi. Not recognizing him, she stopped him. "Sir, are you here to see the president?"
"Ah, oh, yes." Su Ziqi nodded.
"Then, may I ask if you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked dutifully.
"No." Su Ziqi shook his head.
The receptionist said apologetically, "I'm very sorry. You must make an appointment first to see the president. You can't see him like this."
Su Ziqi frowned slightly. "Why? Su Yuze is my elder brother. Why can't I see him?" He and Su Yuze were not outsiders. Why did he need an appointment to see him?
The president's younger brother? But... he didn't look like it! "That's the company's rule. You... Hey, wait! Sir, you can't just go in on your own..."
Before the receptionist could finish, Su Ziqi ran directly into the elevator, and it was the president's special elevator. The receptionist shouted at the top of her lungs, but it was no use. Su Ziqi had already gone in.
The elevator went straight to the top floor. Su Ziqi tidied up his clothes and walked over.
...
Su Rou was checking the reports on the computer. Just as she finished organizing a stack of documents and stood up to take them to the president's office, suddenly there came a series of footsteps behind her. They were a bit hasty and sounded like the sound of leather shoes. Was it a man?
Su Rou turned her head slightly and saw Su Ziqi walking over, looking a bit nervous.
"Brother Ziqi?" Su Rou called out subconsciously.
"Hmm? Xiaorou?" Su Ziqi saw that it was none other than the charming Su Rou standing in front of him.
After calling out, Su Rou realized something was wrong. She smiled faintly. "Oh, I can't call you Brother Ziqi anymore... Su Ziqi, are you here to see Brother Ze?"
"Um..." Su Ziqi was momentarily stunned because of Su Rou's words. In fact, he had always enjoyed the way Su Rou called him "Brother Ziqi". It really felt good!
He was even so perverted that when he had a bed partner, he also asked them to call him like this in bed!
But now... Su Rou actually said that she couldn't call him "Brother Ziqi" anymore. A strong sense of reluctance and loss immediately welled up in his heart. Since she couldn't call him "Brother Ziqi", why could she call Su Yuze "Brother Ze"?
"Su Ziqi?" Su Rou saw that Su Ziqi was staring blankly at her, so she asked.
"..."
Su Ziqi still stared at Su Rou. He hadn't seen her for a long time. She seemed to have become more beautiful, but at the same time, she had also become more mature. He understood that this kind of maturity was cultivated by a man, but... that man wasn't him!
"Su Ziqi!" Su Rou's voice rose a bit. But Su Rou's voice was naturally soft. Even when she raised her voice, it didn't sound harsh.
"Ah?" Su Ziqi's eyes regained clarity. "What did you say?"
Su Rou looked at him a few times. "Are you okay? Why are you in a daze?"
"Um... I'm okay." Su Ziqi shook his head. "I'm here to see Brother Yuze."
Su Rou nodded. She probably guessed it. "Let's go. I'll go too."
Su Ziqi walked behind Su Rou. Looking at her natural curly hair that reached her waist, swaying back and forth with her movements, it made her waist look very slender. "Xiaorou..."
Su Rou opened the door, drowning out Su Ziqi's voice. "Brother Ze, someone's here to see you."
"Who?"
"Behind me. Before that, here, the documents you asked for." Su Rou handed the documents in her hand to Su Yuze.
Su Yuze took them. "Thank you for your hard work." Then he counted the number of documents and raised his eyebrows. "You even got this one."
"I thought you'd need it."
"You really understand me."
At the door, Su Ziqi walked in and saw Su Yuze and Su Rou chatting cheerfully. When they looked at each other and smiled, they seemed so sweet and disgustingly well - matched!
Su Ziqi found that he was starting to envy Su Yuze. He had good abilities and could also get a beautiful girl... He was really jealous!
"Ziqi, do you need something?" Su Yuze noticed the person walking in. His eyes flashed slightly, and a glint of light passed through them.
Su Ziqi came back to his senses. "Hello, Brother Yuze."
Su Rou looked at them. "Then, you two talk." With that, she was about to leave.
"Xiaorou'er, wait a moment."
Su Yuze called her. Su Rou turned around in confusion and looked at Su Yuze. The latter hooked his finger at her. Su Rou leaned down slightly. Su Yuze kissed her on the lips across the desk. "Go and make a cup of tea for the guest."
"Okay."
Su Rou obediently walked out. Su Ziqi was completely stunned, looking at Su Yuze. Just now... in front of him, Brother Yuze had kissed Xiaorou. He really had...
"Ziqi?" Su Yuze said calmly. "What's wrong?"
