Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, then felt that Qi Tianhu’s words made a lot of sense!
“Then I’ll give it a try. If she’s capable, I’ll take her on!”
“Don’t worry, she’s not only capable, but she’ll do a great job!”
Qi Tianhu had high regard for Li Ziqing’s abilities, but Chen Xiao was not so sure.
Due to his chauvinistic thinking, he always felt that women should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.
Of course, if Li Ziqing liked to do it, Chen Xiao would provide her with a platform.
He was eager to hand over this mess and continue being a hands-off manager.
After the banquet, everyone gradually took their leave.
Li Ziqing naturally didn’t leave. She was kept by Liu Zhen, who said there was always a room reserved for her.
Chen Xiao pulled Li Ziqing into the bedroom and, getting straight to the point, took out the stack of documents.
“What is this?”
“Take a look. If I hand all of these over to you to manage, will you be able to handle it?”
Li Ziqing took them and her expression changed from initial confusion to shock, and finally to disbelief.
“You mean, you want to hand all these companies over to me to manage?”
Li Ziqing asked incredulously.
“Of course, what else? If you find it too much, just say so, and I’ll send them back to Old Qi.”
Chen Xiao said with a nonchalant air.
“No, wait a minute. Do you know how much the equity in these companies is worth?”
Li Ziqing was getting a little worked up.
Chen Xiao scratched his head, “Old Qi said it was somewhere in the billions?”
Li Ziqing rolled her eyes, “More than billions, at least over twenty billion, and almost all of it is prime assets!”
Chen Xiao remained calm, “Billions or twenty billion, there’s not much difference. When money reaches this level, it’s just numbers. Besides, I have no interest in money at all.”
If anyone else said they had no interest in money, Li Ziqing would have thought they were showing off.
But when Chen Xiao said it, the credibility shot up.
“But it’s still so much money, aren’t you worried at all? You know, I have a hundred ways to turn all this money into mine, and you’d be none the wiser.”
Li Ziqing looked at Chen Xiao earnestly.
Chen Xiao chuckled, “You’d risk your life for me, how can mere external possessions compare to life itself?”
Li Ziqing felt a flutter in her heart, but said outwardly, “That’s not necessarily true. You don’t know me, I’m not like you. I’d rather lose my life than my money!”
Chen Xiao said seriously, “If you want it, I can transfer all these assets to your name right now, without you having to resort to those hundred ways to keep me in the dark!”
Li Ziqing pouted, “You’re really something. I was joking, and you took it seriously. Even if you transfer them all to my name, they’ll still be yours!”
“Why?”
“Because, I am yours.”
Li Ziqing’s pretty face flushed, her voice barely a whisper.
Chen Xiao could no longer restrain himself; he pulled her into his arms and kissed her neck.
Li Ziqing was lost in passion, but her last shred of reason made her push Chen Xiao away.
“No, you said I was poisoned with a蛊, let’s get that removed first, and then we can talk. Anyway, anyway, I’ll be yours sooner or later.”
Chen Xiao said, “I already removed it when you were badly injured last time!”
Li Ziqing was slightly stunned, but her subsequent actions were even more fervent than Chen Xiao’s!
She pounced on Chen Xiao, her eyes alluring.
“Husband…”
The single word “husband” made Chen Xiao’s blood boil!
He flipped Li Ziqing onto the bed and lunged at her, pinning her down.
At this moment, Li Ziqing pushed Chen Xiao away again, and Chen Xiao felt like he was about to explode.
But Li Ziqing said with utmost seriousness, “Chen Xiao, I might not be your only woman, but I want to be your first woman!”
Chen Xiao was momentarily stunned. Li Ziqing playfully chided, “Husband, why are you still spacing out~”
Chen Xiao couldn’t hold back any longer. For a moment, the bedroom was filled with passion.
…
Sometimes time flies by, like last night. Chen Xiao felt as if it had passed in an instant.
Chen Xiao lay on his back, gazing at the ceiling, entering the legendary post-coital clarity.
Li Ziqing rested her head on her wrist, tilting her head to look at Chen Xiao.
“How did that feel just now?”
Li Ziqing’s other hand was drawing circles on Chen Xiao’s robust chest.
“Even immortals wouldn’t feel this way!”
Chen Xiao said earnestly, and he said so because he had indeed been an immortal.
“Hehe…”
Li Ziqing pecked him on the ear with satisfaction.
At this moment, Chen Xiao, lacking romantic sensibility, asked, “What did you mean by that earlier?”
Li Ziqing rolled her eyes at him, “Are you genuinely confused or just pretending? I thought after Song Anran left, at most Qi Qingfei would be competing with me, but I didn’t expect another young girl to appear now!”
“What young girl?”
“Still pretending, aren’t you? Gu Yutong!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, she’s my disciple. Besides, she’s still a child!”
“Yang Guo was also a disciple of Xiaolongnü, and Yang Guo was a child when he first met Xiaolongnü!”
“…”
Chen Xiao realized he really couldn’t win an argument with Li Ziqing.
Since he couldn’t win, he might as well do something else.
A few seconds later, the battle song resumed!
This time, they fought until dawn.
Chen Xiao suddenly remembered, “Oh no, I have to go to work today. Right, I’ll be away on a business trip for a few days, so I’m leaving the household matters to you!”
Li Ziqing looked at him with a pout, “You scoundrel, you eat and run, and now I can’t even get up! What’s wrong with you, have you been taking something behind my back?”
Chen Xiao replied, “It’s all because you’re too beautiful, you’re better than any medicine!”
“You scoundrel, you’re so sweet-mouthed. Hurry and go, I need to catch up on sleep!”
Chen Xiao kissed Li Ziqing on the cheek, then rushed off to work in a hurry.
However, he was still late. By the time he arrived at the hospital, Director Hao had already taken everyone to the high-speed train station.
Chen Xiao quickly went to the high-speed train station. As soon as he entered the waiting hall, Director Hao walked over with a dark expression.
“Chen Xiao, why are you only arriving now? I thought you were going to stand me up!”
Chen Xiao quickly explained, “How could I? Something delayed me. What time is the train? I haven’t missed it, have I?”
“Everyone else has already had their tickets checked, only you are left. Hurry up and go, the train is about to arrive!”
Director Hao handed Chen Xiao his ticket. Chen Xiao took it and ran towards the ticket gate.
At this moment, Director Hao laughed loudly from behind, “You brat, I have a surprise for you, no need to thank me!”
Chen Xiao wanted to ask what the surprise was, but there was no time. The train was about to depart.
It was only after he found his seat that Chen Xiao understood what Director Hao’s so-called surprise was!
