Li Bingqing's face was filled with anger.
Her expression was a mix of shame and rage, her eyes involuntarily showing self-mockery.
"I really never expected that I would ever be saved by Song Qiao..."
Of course, she never expected that someone would try to assassinate her!
Now that this accident had happened, she had no other thoughts and could only stay in the hospital for now.
On one hand, she would slowly recover from her injuries, and on the other hand, she could hide her whereabouts and wait for the perpetrator to reveal themselves.
The only thing that made Li Bingqing feel uncomfortable was that by staying in the hospital now, she had fallen into Song Qiao's clutches once again.
She could have escaped the heavenly grasp... all thanks to that damned black glove!
Suddenly, she thought of the Xu family in Modu, and her expression turned somber.
"Xu family... we'll see, I won't let you off!"
She said in a low voice.
...
The story splits into two paths.
On the other side, after leaving the hospital, Song Qiao went straight back to his company.
As soon as he stepped into the company, Gao Meng appeared before him.
"Master, why are you only coming back now? Zhou Chang has been waiting in the reception room for a long time."
"What does he want from me?"
Song Qiao was a little surprised.
Didn't Zhou Chang just suffer a big defeat at his hands? Is he here to offer himself up again?
As if sensing Song Qiao's expression, Gao Meng added an explanation.
"Zhou Chang is here this time specifically to beg for forgiveness."
"If the cooperation cannot be finalized because of him, Minister Qi will absolutely not let him off easily."
"If Minister Qi has an opinion of him, then his position as chairman won't last long."
Song Qiao suddenly understood and nodded: So that's how it is!
Since the other party was here to beg for forgiveness, he had to show some attitude and sincerity in his apology.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Song Qiao's lips.
Reception room.
Zhou Chang had already drunk a bellyful of tea but still hadn't seen Song Qiao arrive.
He had thought about giving up and leaving several times, but ultimately, he gritted his teeth and continued to wait due to Minister Qi's influence.
Just as he was feeling despair.
Footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the door.
Huh?
Is Song Qiao finally here?
Zhou Chang immediately became alert.
Soon, the door opened.
Song Qiao appeared at the doorway.
"Oh my, this is truly... General Manager Zhou personally visiting my humble little company, it truly brightens the place!"
How could Zhou Chang not hear the sarcasm and mockery in Song Qiao's words?
But in his current situation, he had no choice but to humble himself.
Since he was asking for a favor, he had to adopt the attitude of someone asking for a favor.
A bitter smile and helplessness appeared on Zhou Chang's face.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then solemnly bowed to Song Qiao.
"Mr. Song, regarding the previous matter, I was blind and offended you. I am very sorry!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Chang said loudly.
"I apologize, Mr. Song!"
"Well, I must say, your bowing posture is quite good, it has a craftsman's spirit about it."
Song Qiao said with a smile.
"But I still prefer your defiant attitude from the beginning, why don't you go back to that?"
If Zhou Chang couldn't understand this sarcastic remark, he would have lived these thirty-odd years in vain.
Although he hated Song Qiao to the bone, he only dared to think it in his heart and had to continue apologizing on the surface.
"I know I did many things that made you angry before, and it was all my fault."
"I sincerely apologize to you now, Mr. Song!"
Zhou Chang said one thing, but in his heart, he cursed Song Qiao, this slippery character, with all his might.
How could Song Qiao not understand his little thoughts?
"Zhou Chang, are you cursing me in your heart? Let me guess, you must be calling me a slippery character, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chang's face showed a look of shock.
Damn it, does this guy have mind-reading abilities? He knows exactly what I'm thinking.
He quickly collected his thoughts and forced a smile.
"Mr. Song, I know you and Li Bingqing have some minor conflict, and Li Bingqing today had some... uh, unexpected situation."
"In fact, I know some inside information."
"If I reveal it, can I earn your forgiveness and cooperation?"
Song Qiao glanced at Zhou Chang and said calmly.
"You can try to say it. I will consider it based on the importance of this inside information."
A vague answer.
But Zhou Chang dared not expect too much.
He steadied his mind and said.
"Actually, it's like this, the ones who wanted to assassinate Li Bingqing were the Xu family from Modu."
"As for why they chose to assassinate Li Bingqing, the reason lies with Li Bingqing herself."
"Li Bingqing actually has a marriage engagement with Zheng Fei, the young master of the Zheng family, who is also one of the three great families of Modu."
"It is a well-known secret in Modu that the Xu family and the Zheng family have always been at odds."
"If Li Bingqing and Zheng Fei were allowed to marry, then with the Zheng family gaining the alliance with the Gao family, the Xu family would be in a very passive and disadvantageous position."
"The Xu family naturally did not want to see the Zheng family become stronger. The simplest way was to disrupt the marriage relationship between the Zheng family and the Gao family."
"Zheng Fei has many bodyguards, and assassination is extremely difficult. Therefore... eliminating Li Bingqing would also remove this potential threat."
Zhou Chang's words immediately made Song Qiao understand.
So, there was such a reason behind this!
No wonder this girl Li Bingqing refused to say anything.
"Then, what is Zheng Fei's identity?"
"Zheng Fei is from the official spokesperson department and possesses strong comprehensive abilities."
Song Qiao nodded.
It seemed that Zhou Chang was indeed not holding back anything in order to secure this cooperation.
He had revealed everything he knew from the bottom of his heart.
Song Qiao also understood his reasons for doing so and did not make things too difficult for Zhou Chang any further.
With a snap of his fingers, Song Qiao instructed someone to draft the contract, and they smoothly signed the contract with Zhou Chang.
After all, this contract was indeed something he currently needed.
Extracting so much useful information from Zhou Chang was already an unexpected surprise.
Thus, the contract was signed, and everyone was happy.
The heavy burden on Zhou Chang's heart finally lifted.
This act of begging for forgiveness today was not in vain!
Although there were some minor twists and turns, the final outcome was at least satisfactory.
