Zhao Xun looked up and saw a pure and charming face.
Her dark eyes shimmered with brilliance. Observing up close, Zhao Xun came to a conclusion.
Li Yehan must be attracted to Nan Qiao's appearance!
With such a captivating face, what man wouldn't be moved?
Zhao Xun stepped back, keeping a distance from Nan Qiao.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Xun's eyes flickered.
Nan Qiao folded her arms and smiled playfully, "I'm looking at you! Why don't you dare to come over and talk, afraid of me?"
"Who's afraid of you!" Zhao Xun stood tall and straightened his chest.
Du Qianqian exclaimed, "Qiaoqiao, he's definitely not afraid of you, he wants to thank you for saving my grandma."
Du Qianqian was trying to push him into the fire!
Zhao Xun rubbed his temples, his voice showing helplessness, "I haven't gone in to see Grandma yet, I'll go in first."
Zhao Xun slipped away quickly.
Du Qianqian wanted to call him back, but unfortunately, Zhao Xun ran so fast he disappeared in an instant.
"Qiaoqiao, sorry, I'll talk to him later." Du Qianqian said awkwardly.
Nan Qiao: "It's okay, Zhao Xun and I are old acquaintances, I know his temperament."
Du Qianqian was shocked again, Nan Qiao knew Zhao Xun?
At Grandma Rong's house.
After inquiry, Zhao Xun learned that Nan Qiao indeed saved Grandma Rong, and felt restless.
Grandma Rong: "Ah Xun, do you have a grudge with Qiaoqiao? You better not have bullied her!"
Zhao Xun explained awkwardly, "Grandma, the grudge between her and me is work-related, she's my mortal enemy."
Grandma Rong was shocked, "The company you're helping after returning to the country is opposing Qiaoqiao's? Ah Xun, I won't allow you to bite the hand that feeds you."
Zhao Xun felt troubled.
He had already made an agreement with Mei Tian Sha Zi.
If he withdrew, there would be no one to take over Mei Tian Sha Zi's side, and no one to handle the company's affairs—what should be done then?
Grandma Rong seeing the situation, realized her suspicions were all true.
"Ah Xun, you disappoint me. Qiaoqiao's such a good girl, how can you bully her? She's your mortal enemy? I think you can't have her, so you're being cruel."
That's going too far.
Zhao Xun held his forehead, feeling very helpless.
"Grandma, I don't have romantic feelings for her."
Grandma Rong: "Then why are you targeting Qiaoqiao? I've lived most of my life, I'm someone practically half-buried in the ground, I can tell Qiaoqiao is a good kid."
Zhao Xun sat uneasily, wanting to leave quickly.
He couldn't agree to Grandma Rong's request just yet.
"Ah Xun, my advice is for you to immediately withdraw from this company and stop doing things that harm Qiaoqiao. Of course, I have no authority over your career, I'm just reminding you so you don't get severely beaten by Qiaoqiao. She is capable, I estimate no one can surpass her."
Grandma actually thinks he's inferior to Nan Qiao.
Zhao Xun's heart sank.
Li Tianyi sat in the office, eyes wide with disbelief, and stood up.
"Zhao Xun, what are you saying! Say it again!"
Zhao Xun spoke calmly, "I'll say it one last time, I need to go back, I won't stay here to work for you."
Li Chengyan, who opened the door and walked in, was startled by the sudden change, his steps faltering.
"Mr. Zhao, you can't just leave like that. Our project is underway, if you leave, who's going to handle the subsequent parts?"
Zhao Xun: "We haven't signed a contract, I must complete the project before leaving, right?"
Li Tianyi & Li Chengyan: "..."
They were infuriated.
What's happened here!
Li Chengyan: "If you leave, no one will manage the project's later stages, we'll suffer great losses! Zhao Xun, how can you do this!"
Li Tianyi: "Are we not offering you enough? Name your price, I'll give you anything."
Don't insult him with money.
"Sorry, I'm not lacking money. I'm leaving for personal reasons, you can find someone else to handle this project. I've recommended a technician for you, here's his business card." Zhao Xun placed the card on the table.
Li Tianyi's eyes flashed with an indistinct hostility, he didn't understand why Zhao Xun was hitting him where it hurts at such a critical moment.
Li Tianyi gritted his back teeth, pretending to be calm, "Zhao Xun, did Nan Qiao seduce you? I know you know each other well. You told me she is your mortal enemy. But now, knowing we're opposing her third brother, you're suddenly leaving, is it because of her?"
Zhao Xun really wanted to give Li Tianyi a punch.
"Mr. Li, what nonsense are you spouting! I never liked Nan Qiao!" Zhao Xun shouted.
"If you don't like her, then why leave the company?"
"That's none of your business, it's a private matter." Zhao Xun was tired of arguing.
"Alright, I'm leaving. I don't want the project salary or any previous dividends, you can have it all."
He effectively joined Li Tianyi's company without gaining anything.
Zhao Xun left directly, abandoning his responsibilities.
Li Chengyan and Li Tianyi slumped in their chairs, their minds filled with questions.
Why on earth did he quit suddenly?
Li Chengyan said weakly, "Dad, with Zhao Xun doing this, what about our project! I've boasted outside that the next project will be even more impressive."
But now, impressive is out of the question.
Embarrassment seems likely.
Li Tianyi picked up the phone on the table and dialed Mei Tian Sha Zi.
Mei Tian Sha Zi answered quickly, her voice gentle and flowing.
"Zhao Xun quit and left the company."
"What!" The piercing voice was completely different from before.
Like a delicate wife turning into a rugged man.
"Impossible! Zhao Xun couldn't possibly leave suddenly! Did you not entertain him well? Were the terms not good enough? Give him whatever he wants!" Mei Tian Sha Zi urged anxiously.
Li Tianyi: "I've said all the nice things, offering whatever he wanted, but he remained unmoved!"
Bringing this up, Li Tianyi's mood became more agitated.
No matter how he persuaded, Zhao Xun was determined to leave.
On the phone, Mei Tian Sha Zi couldn't utter a word, her mood particularly heavy.
Li Tianyi didn't want to talk either, feeling completely drained.
"The damage is done, we'll address it step by step. First, find someone to replace Zhao Xun's position so the project doesn't fall through. I'll try to speak to Zhao Xun again, to bring him back!"
Mei Tian Sha Zi hung up the phone, her gaze like poisoned glass.
Zhao Xun received a call from Mei Tian Sha Zi, wanting to discuss the matter of leaving in person.
Zhao Xun had no choice but to go.
Pushing open the door of the clubhouse's private room, a strong perfume scent hit him.
A pale, slender arm pulled Zhao Xun inside, the sheer fabric barely covering her.
The woman smiled seductively, leaning into Zhao Xun's arms, "Handsome, I'll cooperate with whatever you want to do."
