Chapter 462: Chapter 466 Apocalypse Rebirth (Three)

Su Li dialed Mr. Su’s number, "Daddy, you haven’t committed to funding Qi ersheng’s project yet, have you?"

In the middle of leading a meeting with various senior executives, Su Fugui, with a serious and cold wave of his hand, signaled for silence in the room before turning to answer the phone. His expression transformed dramatically, revealing a silly, blooming smile.

"My dear, what made you think of calling Daddy? Daddy is so happy."

"Funding? Not yet, I was just about to make the payment. Do you think Daddy is too slow? Then I’ll push the finance department a bit more."

"Oh, no need, no need? Why is that?"

The executives had seen the chairman cold as a winter breeze when facing them, but as tender as a spring day when dealing with the Lady.

With an all too familiar expression.

Some even sneakily prepared to switch the document that was up for discussion next, replacing it with those painstaking and thankless tasks that were destined to be criticized by the chairman.

Everyone present knew that the Lady was the apple of the chairman’s eye, and every time he hung up the phone with her, his mood was exceptionally pleasurably.

He could easily handle even minor mistakes with a cheerful ease.

If not at this moment, then when?

The executives close to Su Fugui could overhear how, with just a few words, the Lady could coax the shrewd, ruthless chairman into beam with happiness.

The image of an utterly foolish father couldn’t be more profound.

After hanging up the phone, Su Fugui told the finance director, "Since we’ve only signed the contract, calculate the amount of the liquidation damages and pay them. We won’t get involved in the project."

It was a thankless job to begin with. If it weren’t for Qi ersheng’s considerable care for his daughter and their decent relationship, he wouldn’t have considered funding it.

Having developed the Su Family into one of the top listed companies, Su Fugui was naturally very astute and capable.

The liquidation damages weren’t significant.

At the time, Qi ersheng, to show his sincerity, had drafted the contract very leniently. The amount was so small that neither Su Fugui nor Qi ersheng personally would even blink an eye.

Such a reneging action by Su Fugui could be extremely offensive in the business world, but he didn’t care at all.

Even if Qi Family was grasped firmly by Qi ersheng, as the head of the Su Family, Su Fugui still could boast arrogantly.

Even if another Qi Family was added, he wouldn’t care.

Ming City banquet

Qi ersheng, holding An Ran’s hand, meandered among the wealthy and famous.

He was holding a goblet when he saw the host of the banquet and was about to go over to greet him, only to find his wrist tightly gripped.

"Ersheing..." An Ran looked panic-stricken and somewhat at a loss, tugging at her skirt.

Qi ersheng felt an inexplicable irritation rising, but he knew of An Ran’s ordinary background, having never been to such high-level parties before, and understood it was natural for her to feel shy and scared.

However, seeing her stunning face filled with reliance on him, Qi ersheng could only sigh deeply, suppressing his frustration.

"You can go sit in that corner over there and have something to eat."

An Ran, blushing profusely, whispered an agreement, filled with grievance.

The occasion she had looked forward to had now become a torment for her.

The women present, lofty and unmistakably disdainful, made her extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, their discussions about designer handbags, jewelry, and exquisite food were all things she had never even heard of.

Even those wealthy young ladies, with not a mocking word spoken, made An Ran feel like a sewer rat dressed up in fancy clothes.

Insecure and ridiculous.

Their detestable faces were just like that of Ersheing’s so-called sister, Miss Su of the Su Family, making them repellent.

An Ran’s petty behavior, unfit for public appearances, made Qi Ersheng nostalgic for the days when Su Li used to handle external affairs for him.

She always handled these social interactions well, and he never needed to worry about them.

But those were matters of a past life.

An Ran was still unsuited for such gatherings; he should have known that Su Li needed to be there no matter what.

He didn’t even consider what basis there was for his presumptuous thoughts.

In his previous life, the original owner was his wife, it was only natural for her to attend such gatherings, but now they had no relationship at all. How could he still brazenly make arrangements for her?

At the gathering, Qi Ersheng gained nothing and returned with a sullen expression, making An Ran too anxious to ask any questions.

She had no choice but to follow behind him quietly like a submissive wife.

"Ersheng, slow down," An Ran couldn’t help but complain softly.

Qi Ersheng wanted to be angry, but then he remembered that this was the woman he had sought for two lifetimes, and his heart gradually softened.

"Sorry, I’m just in a bad mood."

Boss Yan didn’t give him any face at all; even though he mentioned his good relations with the Su Family, that old fox simply diverted the conversation.

An Ran smiled brightly, "It’s okay."

If it had been before, Qi Ersheng would have already pulled her into his embrace, but this time he only apologized and said, "I’ll have my assistant buy you a bag tomorrow."

Perhaps even Qi Ersheng didn’t realize how his attitude toward the woman he loved had changed.

In his past life, he had yearned for her and never obtained her, so he constantly thought of her.

In this life, he obtained her easily, and yet discontent arose.

Indeed, it was like the saying about plain rice and mosquito blood.

The next day, waking up to bright and sunny weather did little to improve Qi Ersheng’s mood, as it proved to be an extremely unfriendly day for him.

Bad news came one after another.

First, losing a competitive land bid against Brother Dong, and then the Su Family breaching their cooperation agreement.

Hearing the reports from his assistant, Qi Ersheng was so angry that he couldn’t maintain his composed demeanor and fiercely smashed an ashtray before stopping.

That plot of land had brought huge profits to the Dong Family in his past life.

No one knew that a seemingly inconspicuous place, due to a government decision a few days later, would see its rate of return increase by dozens of times.

To be able to teach Brother Dong a lesson and profit from it, Qi Ersheng felt like even the heavens were helping him.

But he didn’t know who had intercepted them.

Speaking of which made him angry, but it was nothing compared to the Su Family’s behavior, which infuriated him.

In his eyes, the Su Family’s actions were nothing short of betrayal.

He needed money, a lot of money, and his "Golden Finger" ability wasn’t just about money.

After venting, Qi Ersheng finally calmed down.

He took a deep breath, then rolled up his sleeve to reveal a crescent-shaped red birthmark on his wrist.

Nobody knew that this ordinary-looking mark was actually a portal to a Trading System connected to other dimensions.

He activated the system with his spiritual power, and a screen visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

Most of the buttons on it were gray, showing they were unusable.

Only one shopping interface, which allowed for purchases using the existing paper money from this dimension, was available.
