Susu did not stand on ceremony and found a comfortable-looking chair to sit down. She went straight to the point, "I'm here to see you today to avenge Tianyi. Lü Yuanhong wanted revenge on the Shu family, but he also killed Tianyi. I can't let Tianyi die in vain. Please tell me, what were your plans with him before he disappeared, and how did you intend to deal with Lü Yuanhong?"
Shu Zhongze said sincerely, "Lü Yuanhong and Jia Nanfang have been causing scandals for the senior management of Shu Corporation and trying to suppress us through Huo's company. Their aim is to cause Shu Corporation's stock price to plummet so they can acquire Shu's. Qin Tianyi and I discussed that instead of letting them acquire Shu's, it would be better to let Aoxiang acquire it. My divorce lawsuit with Jia Nanfang at this time would only further depress Shu's stock price. We intended to wait until Shu's stock price hit rock bottom and then have Qin Tianyi acquire Shu's before they could."
"But no matter who acquires Shu Corporation, the Shu family will be ruined just the same. Can you bear to see that?" Susu asked.
"It's definitely not the same. Qin Tianyi promised me that after he successfully acquired Shu's and dealt with Lü Yuanhong and the others, he would return Shu's to me." Shu Zhongze changed the subject, "But now that Qin Tianyi is in trouble, how can Aoxiang acquire Shu's without stabilizing itself? I'm in a difficult situation now. The divorce lawsuit with Jia Nanfang is already known throughout the city, and Shu's stock price is falling towards the brink of collapse..."
"Alright, I understand," Susu finally understood why Xiao Anjing was so eager for her to appear in the group on Tianyi's behalf at this time.
Shu Zhongze asked worriedly, "Understand what? This was originally the only way to save Shu Corporation, but who could have predicted that Qin Tianyi would, would have an accident... Shu Corporation is really going to be ruined in my hands this time!"
"Don't worry, since it was Tianyi's plan, I will help him continue it. If nothing unexpected happens, Aoxiang will complete the acquisition of Shu's, and Lü Yuanhong's scheme will not succeed," Susu said with determination.
"But Qin Tianyi is gone..."
Susu couldn't stand hearing others say Tianyi was gone. She interrupted him, "He's just missing. Xiao Anjing is still at Aoxiang Group. I will represent him temporarily, and Xiao Anjing will help me with all his might."
Shu Zhongze looked at her meaningfully and said, "You truly are a member of our Shu family. I will also assist you with all my might. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand or are unsure of."
"I won't be polite with you," Susu said calmly. "However, after this matter is over, we will go our separate ways, and you should not bother us anymore."
"Susu, it was my fault before, but now, if you are willing to acknowledge me as your father, I will do anything to make amends. Tell me, just ask." Shu Zhongze looked at her with earnest anticipation.
Susu felt a dull ache in her heart and lowered her head, saying, "You've said all you wanted to say, I should go..."
"I am old now, and I can only work at Shu Corporation for a few more years, five, ten... One day I won't be able to do anything..."
"I'm not in the mood to consider these things now. It's getting late, I'm leaving." Susu turned away coldly and pushed open the office door.
"Alright, take your time to consider. I will wait until you come around," Shu Zhongze said behind her.
Susu did not look back, quickly got into the elevator, and Yanan and the two bodyguards immediately followed.
Yanan couldn't help but look back at Shu Zhongze, who was still standing at the office door. She was surprised to see tears in his eyes as he watched Susu's retreating figure.
Shu Zhongze no longer had the imposing demeanor of a CEO, appearing completely like an old man on the verge of death.
This reminded her of her own father's earnest instructions to her the day before his accident. She could feel that Shu Zhongze's fatherly love for Susu was genuine, and he hoped Susu could resolve her issues with her biological father sooner.
Getting into the car, Susu took the initiative to call Xiao Anjing.
Xiao Anjing seemed very busy and took a long time to answer, "Hello, Madam."
"Are you busy?"
Xiao Anjing hummed in affirmation, "A bit busy. Is there anything urgent?"
Susu heard that it was very quiet on his end, so he was probably alone in his office.
"It's not an urgent matter. I just met with Shu Zhongze and learned that before Tianyi had his accident, he and Shu Zhongze had planned to acquire Shu's before Lü Yuanhong."
"Oh, that's right. But it's not that easy to initiate the acquisition of Shu's. It requires a large amount of capital, and it must be unanimously approved at the shareholders' meeting."
"I know it's not realistic to start the acquisition immediately, but I want to understand this aspect. Can you come home and explain it to me when you have time, or send me some successful cases to look at?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Anjing immediately said, "Okay, I'll send you some well-known business cases first. But be sure to rest. You were just discharged from the hospital, so don't overexert yourself."
Susu simply replied with a "good" and hung up.
Xiao Anjing put down his phone with a wry smile. He had been thinking about how to gradually teach her about the group's affairs, but she was so proactive. However, it was a good thing that she could recover so quickly.
"She's, she's doing better. What did you just talk about?" Qin Tianyi asked, leaning on the bed, half his face in shadow.
Xiao Anjing quickly reported to him, "Madam wants to help you acquire Shu Corporation and continue your and Shu Zhongze's plan. She wants to learn about acquisition cases."
Qin Tianyi's eyes were cold and deep. He looked at Xiao Anjing and said, "She is indeed my woman. Let her continue the overt plan."
Xiao Anjing couldn't help but say, "Why don't you let her know you're alive, just injured? Do you know how devastated she was when I told her you were gone? I was really afraid she would commit suicide..."
Qin Tianyi turned his entire face towards him, gazing at him faintly, "If she sees me like this, she will be even more unable to bear it."
Xiao Anjing saw the other half of his face, which was almost disfigured, and instinctively flinched back in horror.
"This isn't the first time you've seen this half of my face and reacted like this, let alone her. I don't want her to cry and be sad every day looking at me. That way, the child in her belly will be even more at risk."
Xiao Anjing nodded silently. After the accident, when he first saw Qin Tianyi, who had been rescued from the river by Su Kangxi, he was so horrified that he didn't dare to recognize the person in front of him.
Qin Tianyi was covered in blood. A piece of skin on his left cheek had been blown off and was still hanging on his face. The injured area was constantly bleeding, as if he had just been pulled out of purgatory.
At that time, Qin Tianyi was still conscious. He tightly grasped Su Kangxi, enduring the intense pain all over his body, and said, "Don't send me to the hospital... Don't let anyone know I'm alive..."
He and Su Kangxi didn't know what to do. In such a condition, even if sent to the hospital, survival was not guaranteed. If not sent to the hospital, could he still live?
"No, you must go to the hospital." Xiao Anjing took out his phone, intending to call an ambulance immediately.
