Bo Siming sounded as aggrieved as could be. Like a wronged soul, he hung his head and sat sulking on the edge of the bed.
"Why didn't you tell me about this the moment you got back!" Bo Yanhai was so angry that his head was buzzing.
"Last time he managed to find an excuse to make you punish me with the family rules. If I really told you, it wouldn't just be about being suspended," he huffed angrily. "I'll reinstate your position today."
Bo Siming pursed his lips with a faint smile. Everything was under his control.
"Grandpa, you're so ill. We'd better wait until you're fully recovered before making a decision about reinstating my position."
"Rarely do you show such filial piety. Jingyu is becoming more and more unruly!"
Bo Yanhai thought for a while. "Go and get my phone. I'm going to call a board meeting right now."
"Board meeting?" Bo Siming was taken aback.
"I'm going to appoint you as the vice president! With Jingyu's trouble - making personality, who knows when he'll ruin the company!"
He was overjoyed. He was almost shouting for joy.
Originally, Bo Siming's goal was just to make him a bit angry. He didn't expect such an unexpected windfall. The vice - presidency was just one step away from the presidency. Wouldn't it be easy to take it over later? God had finally noticed his brilliance.
"Grandpa, don't be in a hurry. There's a cooperation meeting between Juanyi and Ahaire tonight. Our group, as the sponsor, must attend."
"I heard that my younger brother will bring Shen Ximan."
Bo Siming's cunning was just right. He wanted just this kind of ups - and - downs effect.
"What?! How dare he!" Bo Yanhai's anger flared up again.
"Go and get the invitation in the drawer for me."
He opened the drawer with great excitement. At first, he was stunned, but the more he thought about it, the more elated and excited he became.
Bo Siming handed over the invitation. "What's this..."
He pretended not to know.
It was the engagement invitation of Bo Jingyu and Li Xiaoru. Once such a bombshell was released, the hype would definitely not be less than that of this cooperation meeting.
Moreover, it was in Bo Yanhai's handwriting, which was highly convincing.
"After the cooperation meeting tonight, you give this to the reporters and tell them it's my order."
Bo Yanhai propped up his weak body and said slowly.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely do it," Bo Siming didn't forget to add another blow. "If Shen Ximan refuses to let go..."
"Then ruin the Shen Corporation for me! I'll make her pay the price for what she's done!" His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, Grandpa. You have a rest. I'll come and pick you up for the cooperation meeting myself tonight." Bo Siming left the bedroom contentedly and took out his phone to stop the recording.
This powerful evidence could push Bo Jingyu into a corner. Who asked him to be a thorn in his side?
After making the phone call, Su Minghan slumped into his chair, relieved. He stared blankly at the ceiling as if his soul had been taken away.
Knock, knock.
"Come in."
He rubbed his aching eyes and sat up straight.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Shujing didn't say a word. She held out the check in her hand.
"Here, return this to you."
Su Minghan knew without looking that it was the check he had given her before. "I never take back what I've given away."
"Yueyue asked me to return it to you."
He knew who the girl she was talking about was, but he was stubborn.
"Don't want it."
Xiao Shujing helplessly lowered her eyes. "Then I don't want it either."
Saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
She only heard a tearing sound behind her. She turned around in shock and said in disbelief, "Why did you tear it up?"
Su Minghan looked nonchalant. "Well, didn't you return it to me? It's my money. I can do whatever I want with it."
"You!"
"Do you know what I dislike most about you?"
He got up and slowly approached her. "You never tell me anything. You try to solve everything on your own, but you can't solve it well. What are you trying to prove? Do you think you're the Virgin Mary?"
Xiao Shujing felt as if a small knife was cutting at her heart.
"Aren't you more aware of the rumors outside than I am?"
Su Minghan was stunned for a moment and sneered.
"Yeah, I'm so stupid to say these things to you. In your heart, I'm just a dispensable person. You call me when you need help and kick me away when you don't."
"I didn't mean that," Xiao Shujing tried hard to control her emotions.
"Then what do you mean?" His eyes stared directly at her.
The affection and longing in his eyes were all waiting for an answer, waiting for her to say the word "like" with her own mouth.
"I just signed a contract. Come and take a look..."
Just as they were looking at each other, Tian Danni boldly pushed the door open without even knocking.
Xiao Shujing immediately turned around and distanced herself from Su Minghan.
"Um, did I interrupt you?"
"I'll go out first." She lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Su Minghan covered his forehead and sighed. What on earth did he do wrong to meet these two women?
"What did you do to make her cry?" Tian Danni didn't notice the atmosphere at all and boldly asked.
"Spit it out if you have something to say!" He glared at her with a scowl.
Although Su Minghan said so, he was actually relieved in his heart.
If the situation had continued like that, it would really have made Xiao Shujing cry. Even if it wasn't Tian Danni who came in, but another employee, it would have been misunderstood.
"Tsk, why are you so fierce!"
She threw the contract file folder on the desk unhappily. Probably only Tian Danni could act like this with the boss.
If it were someone else being glared at so fiercely by Su Minghan, they would have been shaking with fear. He picked up the file folder with a solemn expression and flipped through a few pages. His expression immediately changed. "Where did you get this?"
Tian Danni stood there with her hands on her hips, head held high. "Are you convinced?"
"You're really something."
Su Minghan smiled. His bad mood from before had long since disappeared.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Then how about you accompany me on a trip after the cooperation meeting?"
She grinned, showing her two cute tiger teeth, looking very expectant.
"A trip? This proposal is not suitable for the moment."
Su Minghan flat - out rejected it without even thinking.
"I'm talking about the shooting location. Isn't it in Lanshan? I heard you have a private vacation villa there."
Tian Danni pouted after saying that. "You're not trying to avoid taking me there, are you? After all, I got you such a rare project!"
The contract folder just now contained the latest makeup sample publicity photo shoot.
The brand was Ahaire.
Su Minghan had a premonition before that this brand would eventually expand its business across the country.
From shoes at the beginning to clothing, then from high - end custom gowns to makeup, there might even be cosmetics and jewelry that noble ladies would like in the future.
