Chapter 102 Got to Catch Her
Chen Yang glanced at his phone, his expression unchanged, and tossed it aside.
To him, eliminating a Zhou family wouldn't cause even the slightest ripple in his emotions.
It seemed Su Ya would be safe in Qingzhou from now on.
Chen Yang lay on the bed, listening to the steady breathing from the room next door. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Tianliu Commercial Plaza reopened as usual.
The foot traffic at Tianliu Commercial Plaza steadily increased. Under Su Ya's public relations and promotions, Tianliu Commercial Plaza not only saw more visitors but also attracted a noticeably wealthier clientele.
This was an improvement in class, taste, and quality, which was the hardest to achieve.
Most commercial plazas might achieve short-term traffic boosts through various promotional activities or celebrity endorsements.
However, elevating the quality of a commercial plaza was a much more difficult feat.
Upon arriving at work, Liu Ran and Su Ya immediately plunged into a new round of intense work.
Meanwhile, within the Liu family mansion.
Liu Xuhui paced back and forth anxiously.
Just then, the old Mrs. Liu, along with a group of people, was preparing to have breakfast. Liu Xuhui spotted his grandmother and rushed to greet her. He eagerly said to the old Mrs. Liu, "Grandmother, Grandmother, something big happened in Qingzhou yesterday! The Zhou family suddenly collapsed."
Upon hearing this, the old Mrs. Liu narrowed her eyes and said to Liu Xuhui, "What? The Zhou family collapsed? I recall you telling me yesterday that Zhou Dao kidnapped Su Ya. How did the Zhou family collapse so suddenly?"
Liu Xuhui shook his head, bewildered and at a loss.
He said, "Grandmother, yesterday, while Su Ya and I were having dinner, Zhou Dao forcibly entered the private room and took Su Ya away, completely disregarding my presence. Now, rumors are spreading that all the Zhou family's industries went bankrupt overnight, and the direct descendants of the Zhou family have disappeared. I'm wondering if there's any connection between these two events? Could it be that the Su family suddenly exerted their influence and hired some powerful figure to destroy the Zhou family overnight?"
At this moment, Liu Xin and Yang Long also walked over.
Liu Xin, hearing Liu Xuhui's words, pouted and said to him, "Brother, you're thinking too much. While that woman Su Ya does have some wealth, her Su family doesn't have enough money to hire anyone powerful enough to destroy the Zhou family! And haven't you heard? The Su family is currently facing difficulties and their survival is uncertain. They might be completely wiped out in ten to half a month. Who would be willing to help the Su family at such a time? I suspect the Zhou family must have encountered some trouble, so they fled overnight."
The old Mrs. Liu sat at the table, eating breakfast and contemplating. Then, she looked at everyone and said, "Regardless, the Zhou family is finished now, so Su Ya should be safe. Xuhui, you must continue to pursue this woman."
"Moreover, the Su family is indeed facing a crisis. This is when Su Ya is most vulnerable and needs support the most. If you make your move now, you'll have the best chance of winning her over. Once you have her, we can then seize the Su family's assets."
"Even if the Su family is eventually wiped out, as long as we can obtain half of the Su family's fortune, our Liu family will rise overnight in Qingzhou and become a true aristocratic family."
Liu Xuhui nodded enthusiastically, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He said, "Grandmother, I will definitely work hard. However, yesterday, I did leave Su Ya alone and left the private room first. This incident must have made Su Ya unhappy."
The old Mrs. Liu slapped the table and glared at Liu Xuhui, "What's a man afraid of? How about this, we'll all go to Tianliu Commercial Plaza today. We'll pretend to be inspecting the work, and that will create an opportunity for you to interact with Su Ya alone."
"After all, we are directors of Tianliu Commercial Plaza, and Su Ya is an employee of Tianliu Commercial Plaza. In the end, her status is inferior to ours."
"You must use this to your advantage to win over Su Ya as quickly as possible. Even if it means forcing the issue, like a duck being pushed onto a perch, or a forced marriage, we need to consummate the relationship first. Once Su Ya is secured, and we obtain the Su family's assets from her, I will let you lead our Liu family."
Liu Xuhui nodded vigorously at this, chuckling.
Liu Xin and Li Yang Long also smiled contentedly.
Although Liu Xin herself aspired to a position within the Liu family, she understood that she was a woman.
Besides, if the Liu family's fortune were to fall into her own brother Liu Xuhui's hands, it would indirectly benefit her as well.
Moreover, her brother had always been incompetent, and ultimately, she would still have to rely on herself and Yang Long.
After breakfast, the entire Liu family boarded three cars and headed towards Tianliu Commercial Plaza.
Upon arriving at the base of Tianliu Commercial Plaza, the old Mrs. Liu stepped out of the car. Seeing the flow of people entering and exiting the commercial plaza, her expression showed a hint of surprise, and her old eyes gleamed with delight.
After all, Tianliu Commercial Plaza was the main supporting industry of her Liu family. If Tianliu Commercial Plaza operated well, their dividends for the year would be much higher.
However, soon the old Mrs. Liu's gaze shifted to disappointment. She snorted coldly and said to the people behind her, "Hmph, a bunch of useless things. Look at that slut Liu Ran. She's only been the director of Tianliu Commercial Plaza for a few days, and she's already made it so prosperous. But what about you? I entrusted you with overseeing Tianliu Commercial Plaza before, and yet its reputation declined day by day. You're all such failures, can't even compare to that foolish girl Liu Ran?"
The members of the Liu family dared not speak. Liu Xin, hearing the old Mrs. Liu's words, felt indignant but was secretly delighted. After all, the old Mrs. Liu's words meant she still didn't consider Liu Ran as part of the family. In the old Mrs. Liu's heart, her favored grandchildren were still them, not Liu Ran.
The old Mrs. Liu led the group towards the upper floors of the commercial plaza, heading directly to the public relations and promotion department.
Upon arriving at the promotion department, the old Mrs. Liu said, "Everyone, continue your work. We directors are just here for a casual visit. By the way, where is Supervisor Su?"
An employee immediately pointed to Su Ya's office and said, "Supervisor Su Ya is in her office, busy with the upcoming promotional work."
The old Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "Alright, you can go back to your work. We'll go take a look ourselves."
Then, the old Mrs. Liu led the group into Su Ya's office.
Su Ya was typing up a plan on her keyboard. Hearing the sound, she looked up and saw the old Mrs. Liu and her entourage. She was momentarily stunned, then stood up, bowed slightly to the old Mrs. Liu, and said calmly and respectfully, "Chairwoman Liu, do you have any instructions?"
The old Mrs. Liu laughed heartily, her voice filled with false warmth, and said to Su Ya, "Su Ya, there's no need to be so formal. We're here today to offer our regards, and also to ask what happened yesterday?"
