Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Twenty minutes later.

Speedy Logistics Headquarters Building.

Su Qingyu rushed into the lobby, ignoring even the receptionist's greetings, and pressed the elevator button to go to the top floor.

The elevator numbers are moving so slowly.

Every second was torture.

"bite."

The instant the elevator doors opened.

She stumbled and staggered toward the heavy mahogany door.

They didn't even knock.

"Bang!"

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

Because of excessive force, it slammed into the wall with a loud bang.

Su Qingyu was prepared to face a scene of utter chaos.

They were even prepared to face an empty office.

however.

The scene before her left her completely stunned.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of Jingzhou, and the afternoon sun fills the entire room, making it golden, warm, and tranquil.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of Blue Mountain coffee.

And soothing, elegant jazz music is playing.

Liang Cheng was wearing a well-tailored white shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, revealing his muscular forearms.

He was holding a coffee cup and standing in front of a huge city planning map of Jingzhou.

He was holding a red marker.

His expression was focused and calm.

They seem to be contemplating some grand business strategy.

Upon hearing the loud noise, Liang Cheng paused, his pen still.

He frowned slightly and turned around.

Su Qingyu stood panting at the door.

Her long hair, which was usually meticulously styled, was now somewhat disheveled and plastered to her cheeks.

A few strands of hair were soaked with sweat.

His chest heaved up and down from running.

Those almond-shaped eyes that always held a gentle smile.

At this moment, however, his eyes were filled with fear, helplessness, and tears that he hadn't had time to wipe away.

Like a little bird that got lost in a storm and finally found its nest.

Seeing Liang Cheng standing there unharmed.

Seeing that familiar, composed expression on his face.

Su Qingyu's taut string snapped instantly.

Her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

He could only hold onto the door frame, panting heavily.

"Are you...you're alright?"

Su Qingyu's voice trembled, filled with sobs.

Liang Cheng was somewhat surprised.

He put down his coffee cup and marker.

He strode over, took her arm with his strong hand, and led her to sit down on the sofa.

He then turned around, poured her a glass of warm water, and handed it to her.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Liang Cheng looked at her disheveled appearance.

I felt sorry for her, but also a little amused.

"Why are you running so fast? Are there wolves chasing you?"

Su Qingyu held the water glass in both hands, her fingertips still trembling slightly uncontrollably.

The warm water cup did not calm her down.

She looked up, her eyes red and swollen, like a rabbit that had suffered a great injustice.

"It's going crazy outside...it's all over the place."

Su Qingyu choked up as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes again.

"They said you were suspected of committing a crime and you were taken away by the provincial authorities."

"They said you were going to jail, that the company was going to go bankrupt."

"I can't get through to you on the phone, it's always switched off..."

"I thought... I thought I'd never see you again..."

At this point, tears finally broke free and streamed down my face.

Drops fell onto the back of my hand.

It was terribly hot.

She was really scared.

She was afraid of losing this man, afraid of losing the only light in her life.

Liang Cheng's heart softened.

He took out a few tissues and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

"fool."

"My phone just ran out of battery. I was looking at the map the whole time and didn't have time to charge it."

"As for the rumors outside."

Liang Cheng's eyes became deep.

"That was bait I deliberately laid out."

"If I don't show weakness to the enemy, and don't let them think that I, Liang Cheng, am finished, or that I have no power to resist."

"Why did those old foxes hiding in the back show their tails?"

"How can a real big fish take the bait?"

Liang Cheng pointed out the window.

"This is a trap, and everyone in it, except me, is prey."

Su Qingyu stared at him blankly.

Looking at the confident, masterful expression on this man's face.

That domineering aura that allowed him to manipulate the entire capital city.

The heart that had been hanging in my throat finally settled back into my stomach.

After Su Qingyu's immense panic subsided.

This was followed by a sense of shame.

Was I too out of line just now?

If your hair is messy, your makeup might be ruined too.

She rushed in like a madwoman, crying and sobbing at Liang Cheng.

Su Qingyu lowered her head, her ears turning bright red, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Liang Cheng suddenly felt much better.

He did not back away.

Instead, they moved a little closer.

The two were very close.

They could even smell each other's scent.

She had a faint jasmine scent mixed with the smell of sweat, which wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it exuded a genuine vitality.

"Are you that worried about me?"

Liang Cheng's voice was deep, with a clear hint of mockery.

"Are you worried that if your boss goes out of business, no one will pay your salary?"

"Are you still worried that you won't have anyone to back you up in the future, and that you won't have anyone to rely on?"

He had barely finished speaking.

Su Qingyu's body suddenly stiffened.

The blush on her face instantly spread to her neck.

The embarrassment and annoyance of having her secrets exposed and being teased like that made her forget her usual reserve and propriety.

Under extreme emotional turmoil.

There's no need to hide things anymore if you've been holding them back for a long time.

Su Qingyu suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Liang Cheng's eyes.

That was the first time she had ever been so brave and so unreserved.

"no!"

Su Qingyu's voice was loud, with a hint of stubbornness.

"I don't need that salary! I have hands and feet, I won't starve!"

"I don't want to curry favor with anyone!"

The air fell silent instantly.

Only the sound of their intertwined breaths and the lingering notes of that jazz song remained in the office.

After saying those words, Su Qingyu felt as if half of her courage had been drained away.

Her eyes were still red, but her gaze was unusually firm.

Since they've already lost their composure...

Let's go all the way then.

"I was just worried about you!"

"I ran until my lungs felt like they were going to explode, and my shoe heels were about to break, just to see you one last time!"

"Simply because you are Liang Cheng!"

"He's neither the owner of any express delivery company nor the son of Secretary Liang!"

The mockery in Liang Cheng's eyes disappeared.

Instead, there was a sense of surprise.

He had always regarded Su Qingyu as a business partner with great potential and a subordinate worth cultivating.

She might even be an interesting confidante.

But he didn't expect it.

This usually gentle girl actually harbors such passionate emotions within her.

Su Qingyu looked into Liang Cheng's eyes, her voice lowered, becoming gentle and affectionate.

It was as if it were telling a long-buried secret.

Do you know Liang Cheng?

"I used to think that all of you rich people were the same."

"Arrogant, domineering, treating ordinary people like us as playthings."

"But later..."

"When I cried out to heaven and earth in vain, you stood up for me."

"When I couldn't afford tuition, my family was in debt, and I was about to drop out of school to work, you gave my dad a chance."

"You gave me the opportunity to realize that I'm not just a pretty vase."

"You taught me that women can also be ambitious, and can also stand on the mountaintop and enjoy the view."

Su Qingyu sniffed, tears welling up again.

"Without you, I might have been ruined long ago."

"I'm no longer that Su Qingyu."

She reached out as if to touch Liang Cheng's face, but stopped in mid-air.

"Liang Cheng, I don't know what you'll think. Maybe you'll feel that I've overstepped my bounds."

"But...I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I don't want that at all."

"If you really go to jail, I'll wait for you."

"If you go bankrupt, I'll earn money to support you."

"Anyway...anyway, I'm sticking with you for the rest of my life."

A young girl's feelings.

It is always the most sincere, the most passionate, and the most moving.

There weren't many pros and cons to weigh.

There aren't that many calculations involved.

Only a heart so sincere it makes one's heart tremble.

In this treacherous and deceitful Jingzhou.

This is a world rife with scheming and manipulative practices in officialdom and business.

This pure affection is so precious.

Liang Cheng looked at the girl in front of him who was still trembling slightly.

Looking at the undisguised love in her eyes.

The softest part of my heart was deeply touched.
