Part 2 《The Great Sugar of Eastern Land》Chapter 197

an An's car was in front, and Yi Muyang's car was following behind. 。All was silent, the darkness around them complete save for the lonely beams of their headlights. 。I don't know how long it took, bu...He appeared calm and collected, but Yaoyao knew it wasn't easy. He was facing enemies on all sides; the Senbing Group was starting to fracture internally, with opposing factions becoming increasingly apparent. Meanwhile, Minister Liao was also being approached by Zhao Tingxing, who was trying to secure support from different parties. It wasn't guaranteed that he would stand firmly by him.

Zhao Tingxing was able to build his empire from nothing and achieve such great success. He's definitely not a reckless man. He used to be able to go toe-to-toe with Gu Ruandong, so he's certainly no less capable now.

He's just that way, with a swagger and arrogance. He doesn't hide his emotions or ambition, making him seem transparent.

But at this moment, Taotao remembered that everything about him that could be seen through by outsiders was something he had chosen to reveal. Without a bit of cunning, how could one navigate the world

Just like he wanted the Sen Military Group, he also moved step by step, not showing anything at all until now. Only when he had arranged his troops and strategies did he reveal himself.

Gu Ruandong pinched her slender waist: "You know him very well!!"

Yao Yao deliberately, on the edge of death, frantically tested: "Of course I understand, after all, we've spent a week together, and we have a connection that's different from you and him."

His large hand covered her waist, kneading and pinching it, itching so badly that she dodged back and forth. Finally, unable to escape, she resorted to acting childish, kicking her legs up and straddling his waist. He had no choice but to support her hips with both hands.

They were very close together.

"I'm worried about you. Even though you and my brother haven't said anything to me, he brought experts here, day after day, digging in the well, covered in dirt and grime. Have you ever seen him work so hard And you, usually so busy with everything, you've spent three days here with me. It's just not like you."

"You're so smart, YaoYao." he praised with a smile.

Yao Yao was dissatisfied: “You still treat me like a child, not telling me anything.”

He wasn't being honest with his hands anymore: "What kind of child are you" he said.

Only when she truly seemed angered did he relent, answering seriously: "It's a bit tricky. The Gu family has been undergoing a transformation these past few years, and the Senbing Group has been their top priority project for the last two years, so they've poured a lot into it; As for Zhao Tingxing, he infiltrated the Senbing Group earlier and more deeply than me. He just didn't anticipate the drastic changes that would happen to the group, his information was lagging behind mine, which allowed me to seize the opportunity first. He's been biding his time all this while, preparing for this very moment."

Gu Ruandong answered truthfully: "Half and half. Gu Shi's foundation in Sen Bing Group isn't stable enough, and Sen Bing Group has a lot of people hiding in the dark who might bite me at any time."

So, he came here to find some peace and quiet, to withdraw himself from the turmoil, to let them have their way and observe the situation unfold.

When he said that, Yaoyao felt a pang of sympathy for him. All the glamour was what outsiders saw. His pressure, the struggles he faced, these intangible things, he had to bear alone, and she couldn't share even a fraction of it.

Gu Ruandong saw that her eyes were red and couldn't help but smile: "Don't you trust your husband so much"

She shook her head. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I feel sorry for you."

Gu Ruan Dong softened and felt warm at her words, hugging her tightly: "Silly girl, this is the most common struggle in business. It's like acting, you need to be slapped and scolded, it's a normal part of the job."

"You're actually good at comforting people now."

Even though Gu Ruan Dong tried to hide his emotions, after spending so long together, Yao Yao could still pick up on things and see that he was under pressure.

She thought that his stress probably stemmed from the fact that the Senbing Group was still entangled with Tingjing Finance and Lu Kuo.

So she dropped the subject, not wanting to put any more pressure on him. She figured his main purpose for coming to the county was to visit and spend time with her and little Gurgling.

He was living a life like "a paradise away from the world", while things in Senzhou and the capital were truly chaotic.

The rumors of Zhao Tingxing and Liao Liao's relationship didn't spark much excitement, after all, Liao Liao isn't a top-tier celebrity, and the hot search was quickly removed. However, those who needed to know, already knew.

Zhang Ze told him to return to Beijing immediately. Minister Liao was furious about the matter and wanted to see him.

Zhao Tingxing, however, was leisurely. "No rush, let's wait until he cools down before talking."

"Where are you" He wasn't in a hurry, but Zhang Ze was. After all, he worked under Minister Liao.

"I've been busy these past few days attending an international event. Please tell Minister Liao that we'll visit him after the event concludes."

Zhang Ze had to hang up the phone. Needless to say, Mrs. Liao would definitely attend this event. Zhao Tingxing was deliberately avoiding appearing and continued to put pressure on Minister Liao.

This event is a seminar on how to control heavy metal pollution of the environment, led by relevant departments from several countries. The first meeting was held in China and is highly valued.

Mrs. Liao represented the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the event, while Zhao Tingxing, as a representative of enterprises, also attended due to the presence of many relevant companies in the southwest region. He even hired an interpreter, coincidentally it was Chen Ninghui.

The two met and were both taken aback. Zhao Tingxing was very unhappy, what did this mean Did he bring a little girl with yellow hair to be his translator And she had a grudge against him, she had caused him trouble in the southwest back then.

Chen Ning felt extremely uncomfortable seeing him, but this was a part-time job that her mentor had found for her, and it was a rare opportunity. She suppressed her personal emotions and focused on her work.

If you count her native language, she speaks four languages, so she handled the whole thing with ease and helped Zhao Ting establish connections with several foreign counterparts.

Zhao Tingxing had several opportunities to communicate with Mrs. Liao, but he said nothing and only asked Chen Ling to help them take a group photo.

Do these things, as Zhang Ze said, and continuously, relentlessly put pressure on Minister Liao.

But Minister Liao remained composed and steadfast, never relenting. On the surface, the parties involved seemed calm, but beneath the facade, a storm was brewing.

Zhao Tingxing knew Gu Ruandong had gone to the southwest to seek tranquility, leaving all matters in Beijing to Han Li to handle.

Since leaving that hotel last time, the two hadn't seen each other for a while. In the past, their meetings were brief and lacked much conversation. Any disagreement would quickly lead to them getting intimate. It was the primal urge of adults, a release of pheromones like animals mating. A single look could convey everything, leading them directly to bed.

But this time, when they met again, there was a change between them, especially Han Li. He no longer showed any feminine side in front of him, acting strictly professional, even changing his shirt to a very conventional button-down style.

Zhao Tingxing found her increasingly disagreeable, but he couldn't fault her.

He asked, "When will Gu Ruandong be back"

Han Li: "I can't say."

Not a single unnecessary word.

Gu Ruandong dodged, using no moves to overcome his opponent's attack. This left Zhao Tingxing feeling uncertain and hesitant to make any rash moves.

He kept staring at Han Li, trying to find a clue from her expression. Gu Ruandong couldn't possibly tell her nothing.

But Han Li's expression was cold, giving nothing away.ds. Yaoyao was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and he was like a wolf. I was really worried that Yaoyao would be bullied. 。But after all these things happened, I realized that she is the most s...
