After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

Shi Zhenxiang never imagined that Li Qiuchan would stand so firmly on the side of a driver.

"Li Qiuchan, are you sure you want to offend me for the sake of a driver?"

"Although he's just a driver, he's a member of the Li Group." Li Qiuchan met his gaze without flinching.

"I will protect my people myself, so Mr. Shi need not worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhenxiang's face turned even uglier, and her voice turned cold: "Fine, very well. Since you have such backbone, then I might as well tell you frankly that it wasn't just about the contract renewal; it was also me who arranged for your Li Group to be disqualified from the investment and financing negotiation meeting."

He paused, his tone carrying an undisguised threat: "If you continue to be so ungrateful, I guarantee that from now on, there will be no place for your Li Group in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce."

Li Qiuchan's expression kept changing.

Losing the Chamber of Commerce platform would be a major blow to the Li Group.

"Mr. Shi, you don't have to be so absolute."

At this moment, Jin Baosan appeared out of nowhere, a smile on his face that seemed like a peacemaker but was actually gloating: "President Li, we're all business people, why make things so tense? How about this, you treat President Shi to dinner tonight, make amends properly, and this matter will be over, won't it?"

Wei Zuo followed suit, chiming in, "Yes, Mr. Li, Mr. Shi has extensive connections in the Jinling business community. Offending him won't do you any good. It's just a meal, why not?"

Su Hao couldn't help but sneer: "You two cobblers actually managed to get by in the Chamber of Commerce. It seems that Vice President Zhuang isn't a good person either, letting in just any Tom, Dick, or Harry."

"you......"

Wei Zuo and Jin Baosan both turned green.

Seeing that Su Hao still dared to insult his people, Shi Zhenxiang's face darkened completely: "Li Qiuchan, are you going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit?"

Li Qiuchan met his gaze, her tone calm yet undeniably firm: "If everyone in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce is like President Shi, then the Li Group might as well not join."

After these words were spoken, the entire reception area fell silent for a few seconds.

Shi Zhenxiang gritted her teeth and asked, word by word, "What kind of bewitching potion did this kid give you that made you willing to offend the entire Jinling Chamber of Commerce for him?"

Su Hao shrugged: "That's probably just personal charm, something you can't learn."

Li Qiuchan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

What time is it? You still have the mind to be sarcastic.

"Su Hao, let's go."

She turned and walked out of the Chamber of Commerce, with Su Hao following behind.

"Just like that, you left?"

Li Qiuchan chuckled, "What? You want to beat them up?"

"You don't want to?"

"I want to, but now is not the time."

Li Qiuchan knew that she couldn't do anything to Shi Zhenxiang and the others for the time being, so rather than staying here and suffering, she might as well go back and think of a solution.

I had only taken a few steps when my phone rang.

She said to Su Hao, "I need to take this call. Can you go to the underground parking garage and pick me up?"

"OK."

Su Hao turned and walked towards the entrance of the underground parking garage.

I had only walked a few steps to the parking space when a slightly surprised voice came from the side.

"Mr. Su, what are you doing here?"

Su Hao stopped and turned around. He saw a middle-aged man in a suit walking quickly toward him with a fawning smile on his face. It was Ma Fei.

"Can't I be here?" Su Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No, no, no, what I mean is that it's such a coincidence to run into you here."

Ma Fei strode up to him, his tone ingratiating and apologetic: "Mr. Su, I was blind to your greatness at Huichuntang last time and offended you. I am truly sorry. I have been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize to you."

Su Hao waved his hand: "Let bygones be bygones. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

He turned to leave, and Ma Fei quickly chased after him.

"Mr. Su, please wait! Is there something you need to discuss at the Jinling Chamber of Commerce? Is it related to the Li Group? If you need any help, I have some influence within the Chamber and might be able to assist you."

Su Hao stopped and turned to look at him: "You've investigated me very thoroughly."

Ma Fei's smile froze for a moment, then he gave an awkward laugh and honestly admitted, "To be honest, Mr. Su, I did inquire about your background. I know you are Li Qiuchan's fiancé, and I also know that you cured Chen Changfeng's daughter at the Central Hospital yesterday; your medical skills are extraordinary."

"I...I want to ask you to help cure my father's illness. I can agree to any condition as long as you are willing to help."

Su Hao pondered for a moment and said, "The Jinling Chamber of Commerce just disqualified the Li Group from participating in the investment and financing negotiation meeting. If you have a way to resolve this, I can help you with this."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Ma Fei patted his chest, but quickly realized, "Wait a minute, the Li Group has always been a model enterprise of the Chamber of Commerce. Who would be so bold as to revoke the Li Group's qualification?"

"If you don't know, you can look it up." After saying that, Su Hao drove away without saying anything more.

Ma Fei stood there, watching Su Hao's taillights disappear into the garage exit, his brows furrowed.

He took out his phone and dialed his secretary's number: "Find out for me how the Li Group's qualification for the investment and financing negotiation meeting was revoked. Who did it? Find out immediately!"

......

On the return journey, the atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat silent.

Su Hao remained silent for a while before finally asking, "Is it worth offending Shi Zhenxiang and those people for my sake, and even giving up your membership in the Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Qiuchan turned her head to the side.

The sunlight streamed through the car window, casting a golden halo over her silhouette.

"worth."

Why?

"You are mine."

Li Qiuchan was stating something that was perfectly natural.

"You are just as important as the Li Group, no, you should say you are more important than the Li Group."

The car slowly came to a stop at the red light.

Su Hao turned his head and looked at her.

Li Qiuchan didn't avoid his gaze, meeting his eyes with a slight smile, a rare gentleness in her expression: "What? Are you moved by me?"

"A little." Su Hao nodded honestly.

"Then just drive carefully and don't overthink it." Li Qiuchan looked away.

"There's always a way out; the Chamber of Commerce will always find a solution."

Su Hao didn't say anything more, but the warmth in his heart lingered for a long time.

The car drove back to the Li Group.

After getting off the bus, Li Qiuchan said, "My mom just called and said a guest has come to our house and is looking for you. She wants you to come back."

"Looking for me?" Su Hao was also somewhat surprised.

Who is it?

"She didn't say, she was being very secretive." Li Qiuchan shrugged.

"Take Xiaoxiao back with you, I don't have time to take care of her."

Su Hao nodded, turned around and called Song Xiaoxiao, who was drinking milk tea in the rest area. The two of them drove to the Li family's house together.

Less than ten minutes after they left, a black Audi A8 pulled up in front of the group's building.

The car door opened, and Zhuang Bifan, vice president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, stepped out first, his brow covered in sweat.

Following closely behind is Hong Kong businessman Shi Zhenxiang.

His expression was complex, showing both resentment and fear, and his steps were noticeably slower than usual.

The young woman at the front desk was stunned when she saw the lineup and immediately called Zhou Qian to inform her.

Zhou Qian quickly came out to greet them, and was also surprised to see Zhuang Bifan and Shi Zhenxiang.

"Vice President Zhuang, President Shi, what brings you two here...?"

"Secretary Zhou, please inform General Manager Li that I, Zhuang, have come to pay a visit." Zhuang Bifan bowed and scraped, his tone more like that of a junior apologizing than a vice president of a chamber of commerce.

Zhou Qian was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses. She quickly led them to the reception room and then hurried to report to Li Qiuchan.

Li Qiuchan was processing documents in her office when she heard Zhou Qian's report and was somewhat surprised.

"Zhuang Bifan has come to our company?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, Vice President Zhuang said... they've come to apologize." Zhou Qian's expression was also somewhat subtle, clearly still recovering from the shock she had just experienced.

Li Qiuchan was filled with doubts.

This guy left me hanging at the Chamber of Commerce for half a day, so why did he suddenly come over to apologize after I came back?

She put down her pen and went to the reception room.

As soon as Zhuang Bifan saw Li Qiuchan enter the door, he immediately stood up and greeted her with the same enthusiasm as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry, I was senile and made the wrong decision after listening to the slander of some villains!"

"I have dealt seriously with those responsible. Jin Baosan and Wei Zuo have been expelled from the Jinling Chamber of Commerce! The Li Group's membership level has also been upgraded to senior membership! I hope President Li can be magnanimous and forget about today's unpleasant incident!"

Li Qiuchan was a little confused by his series of actions. Before she could even speak, Shi Zhenxiang, who was standing to the side, lightly slapped herself twice in front of her.

"Mr. Li! I was blind to your greatness and offended you and Mr. Su!"

"Regarding the contract renewal, I've drafted a new one with even better terms than before, and I'll even reduce the profit margin by 20%! I only beg you and Mr. Su to be magnanimous and let me off the hook!"
