At that moment, when she suddenly heard Han Li say about the old woman’s passing, shock gave way to a wave of memories of those days spent in the mountains. The old woman’s meticulous care for her flashed before her eyes, and tears welled up instantly.
Han Li thought she knew about the old woman’s affairs, so she didn’t avoid the topic just now. Unexpectedly, Yao Yao didn’t know, “I’m sorry, I thought you did. The old woman passed away peacefully and didn’t suffer much.” The comforting words sounded especially pale, and Han Li stopped talking. She had no intention of using the old woman to play emotional cards.
And he also knew deeply that the old woman was Zhao Tingxing’s bottom line; even if he died, he would never use the old woman.
That’s it for now, the conversation then shifted to a different topic. They exchanged a few farewell words before parting ways.
Lu Yao Yao recently didn’t know what was wrong with her, she became especially sentimental. She had cried after seeing Han Li, and it seemed like that should have been the end of it, but when she talked about it with Gu Ruan Dong later that night, she cried again.
“Though Zhao Tingxing is a bad person, I discovered when we were in the mountains that he was filial and very kind to his grandmother. He repaired the road for her and even hired a doctor to set up a clinic.”
“Big baddie?” Gu Ruandong chewed on her words. They were clearly derogatory, but coming from her, they held a kind of soft charm. Even a real villain would hear her description and instantly feel cute and harmless, all their malicious intent gone.
His tone was indescribably dangerous, yet Lu Yaoyao was oblivious, continuing to dwell in the news of her grandmother’s passing. Her nasal voice, still thick from crying, said: “I knew she was also in county A while filming there. I thought I’d find time to visit her, always assuming I had plenty of time. Day after day, I delayed it, and now, I can never see her again.”
Gu Ruandong gently patted her back in comfort, “When we find the right time, I’ll accompany you to pay respects.”
“Hmm.”
She suddenly said, “Honey, if I pleaded for Zhao Ting, would my fans call me a saint?”
“Are you going to ask for leniency for him?” His eyes turned dangerous again.
“Han’s secretary found me today, and I refused. Of course, I can’t make my husband uncomfortable for an outsider.”
Gu Ruandong then smiled in satisfaction: “At least you understand.”
A man’s world is more about decisive action and the rise and fall of power. He is always prepared for this, never wanting to see his woman groveling at the feet of others. This would be worse than killing them.
“And I think true respect for the enemy is to give it your all without mercy. Zhao Tingxing would probably want this too, he still has that backbone.”
Gu Ruan Dong was really angry this time, rolling over and saying: “You admire him?”
She needs to be punished for this. Praising other men in front of him? She’s asking for it.

After disappearing for several days, Zhao Tingxing finally appeared.
Upon returning, an emergency meeting was immediately convened, a crucial decision was made: to sell all shares of the Senbing Group held in order to raise cash flow and rescue Zhao’s Group.
In the meeting room, there was an uproar.
After all this effort, they were still following the route Gu Ruandong had designed in advance. It was a futile attempt that even put Zhao Group into an unprecedented financial crisis.
Shareholders are all feeling disgruntled, wondering why they ever got involved in the first place.
Don’t you know how much you weigh?
Why insist on doing things that are like eggs meeting stones?
They whispered among themselves, none daring to utter a word in front of him. But their expressions betrayed them nonetheless. Looking up at Zhao Tingxing who sat at the center of the conference table, they all feared being scolded by his fiery temper.
However, when one looked at him seriously, the entire meeting room suddenly fell silent, so silent that only the faint hum of the computer could be heard. Everyone held their breath and even looked at Zhao Tingxing in front of them in astonishment, because at this moment, he seemed like a different person.
Depressed, lacking the ambition and drive of before.
It’s like a frost-bitten eggplant, the spirit is gone, and there’s no light in their eyes.
If he were acting according to his usual character, even if he had to sell his shares in Senbing, he would grit his teeth and still proudly declare: “If I lose, I lose. I’ll make it back anyway.”
But this time, there wasn’t a shred of morale, as if they were willing to surrender. The specifics of the sale were also left to those below him to handle.
“Just take a break for now.”
After the meeting, he was the first to leave the conference room and return to his office.
left everyone speechless.
Several executives pointed to their heads and asked, “Is it here?”
He must have been thinking of a way to deal with things after disappearing a few days ago, but he suddenly surrendered to Gu Ruandong instead. What stimulated him?
The Senbing Group has returned to Gu Ruandong’s hands. Thanks to Zhao Tingxing, all kinds of monsters and ghosts lurking within the Senbing Group have been eradicated. Taking over again this time, Gu Ruandong has complete control. The important core departments and several branches are all staffed with his confidants.
So in the end, Zhao Tingxing’s busy work was just for him to make wedding clothes.
Not only did Zhao Shi make wedding dresses for others, but she also lost both her husband and soldiers. Zhao Shi suffered a severe setback. The sale of Senbing Group’s stock missed the best opportunity, resulting in significant shrinkage. It was only enough to repay part of the bank loan, while the remaining part caused disagreement between the shareholder and him.
Shareholders want to keep owing the bank because the current debt is less than before and they can barely afford to pay the bank’s interest.
They hope to preserve Zhao’s cash flow, restart the suspended projects, and quickly recoup the funds.
But Zhao Tingxing decided to sell all the projects he had in hand to repay the bank loan.
Several shareholders refused, stating: “As long as the green hills are there, we won’t be short of firewood. Once these projects are sold, Zhao’s company will be a shell and could go bankrupt in minutes.”
In the past, such a resolute rebuttal would have surely provoked Zhao Tingxing’s fiery anger.
But this time, he was surprisingly calm, with no anger in his eyes. He simply said: “You know very well that after paying back part of the money from selling Senbing’s shares to the bank, there is very little left. This funding cannot support any projects at all. It would be better to transfer them to companies with strong financial resources. On the one hand, it can recover funds, and on the other hand, the projects can develop normally, which is also fair to the homeowners who bought the houses.”
“If all these projects are transferred away, Zhao Corporation will truly become a shell. Besides, everyone in the industry knows you urgently need money and will definitely drive down the price to the lowest point. So even if you transfer everything, you probably won’t be able to pay back the bank loan. So why don’t we take it step by step? What if there’s a chance for a comeback?”
Zhao Tingxing said, “I’ve calculated that the Zhao family still has several properties. If we sell them, we can just pay off the debt.”
His tone was now cold and indifferent, as if he were talking about something completely unrelated to him. This left the people below feeling at a loss, wishing he would be like his old self, fiery and quick to anger.
