The car quickly arrived at the Li Group building.

The two got out of the car and went into the building.

Song Xiaoxiao took the elevator to Li Qiuchan's office. She heard that Li Qiuchan had received a gift, and she planned to go and get one too.

Su Hao stood at the company entrance, gazing at the dimly lit street scene below, waiting for them to come down.

Just then, a soft voice came from behind him.

"Su Hao!"

Su Hao turned around and, seeing Chen Yue, asked with some surprise, "Why haven't you left work yet?"

Chen Yue's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then she lowered her head and said softly, "I... I had some work to finish, so I worked overtime for a while."

Actually, she didn't have any work to do today that required her to work overtime.

She had only heard that Su Hao hadn't come to the company today, and feeling a little worried, she made up an excuse to stay and see if she could run into him.

"Um..." Chen Yue suddenly remembered something and looked up at him.

"My cousin told me that you helped her out at the hospital yesterday?"

Su Hao was taken aback: "Your cousin?"

"Chen Meijia, the one who works as a nurse at the city's central hospital," Chen Yue explained.

"She said Wei Zuo harassed her, and you stepped in to help her out. She's been wanting to thank you, so she asked me to ask if you're free tomorrow at noon. She'd like to invite you to lunch."

Su Hao thought for a moment and didn't agree immediately: "The arrangements for tomorrow noon are still uncertain. We'll see then. If I'm free, I'll go over."

Chen Yue nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and tell her."

Just then, Li Qiuchan and Song Xiaoxiao came downstairs.

"Chen Yue, you haven't gotten off work yet?" Li Qiuchan was slightly taken aback when she saw Chen Yue.

Chen Yue quickly replied, "President Li, I had some things to take care of, so I worked overtime for a while. Now that I've finished, I'm about to head back."

"Want me to give you a ride?"

"No need, no need, my cousin said she's coming to pick me up, she should be here soon." Chen Yue quickly waved her hand.

"Mr. Li, please take care!"

"Okay, you guys be careful too."

Li Qiuchan nodded slightly and took Song Xiaoxiao's hand: "Let's go home."

The three got into the car and drove towards Yunxi Bay.

Chen Yue stood at the building entrance for a while, and a young girl in a white dress jogged over. It was her cousin, Chen Meijia.

"Sis, didn't you say Mr. Su would be coming?" Chen Meijia looked around but didn't see Su Hao.

"He did come, but he left after picking up the CEO. Who told you to be so slow?"

"Oh dear, I shouldn't have changed my clothes." Chen Meijia stomped her foot in annoyance.

Chen Yue couldn't help but tease, "What? You really want to see him that much?"

Chen Meijia's face flushed instantly, and she quickly explained, "I...I just wanted to thank him! After all, he helped me so much!"

"Just a thank you?" Chen Yue looked at her with a half-smile.

"Of course, it's just a thank you!" Chen Meijia's face turned even redder.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

A faint smile appeared on Chen Yue's lips.

This young lady seems to have fallen for Su Hao.

......

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Su Hao woke up on time.

He quickly washed up and went into the kitchen.

There are fresh ingredients in the refrigerator that I bought yesterday.

He took out lean meat, preserved eggs, and rice, and began preparing to make preserved egg and lean meat congee.

After simmering for about half an hour, the rice grains had fully bloomed, and the porridge had become thick and creamy.

Su Hao poured the marinated shredded lean pork and preserved egg pieces into the pot, stirred well, and continued to simmer for about ten minutes. Finally, he sprinkled on some chopped green onions and a little salt to taste, and a pot of fragrant preserved egg and lean pork congee was ready.

He also prepared a refreshing cucumber salad, sliced ​​two salted duck eggs, and neatly arranged them on a white porcelain plate, placing them on the dining table.

Just as I finished setting out the bowls and chopsticks, I heard footsteps on the stairs.

Li Qiuchan walked down wearing a beige business suit, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her makeup exquisite, and her complexion radiant.

She walked to the dining table, saw the steaming breakfast on it, paused for a moment, and then a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"Making breakfast again?"

"What else can we do? We can't let you go to work hungry."

Su Hao glanced behind Li Qiuchan but didn't see Song Xiaoxiao. He asked in surprise, "Strange, why didn't Xiaoxiao come down?"

"I was playing games until midnight last night, it would be strange if I could get up."

Li Qiuchan shook her head: "You think you can become a strong woman like me? Haha."

"Her personality is like that—working hard for three days and then drying the nets for two."

Su Hao smiled and pulled out a chair.

"Come, my dear wife, please have a seat."

Li Qiuchan's cheeks flushed slightly, but her reaction was no longer as strong as it had been at the beginning.

She gave Su Hao a reproachful glare, then sat down, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, blew on it gently, and put it in her mouth.

The congee was cooked to perfection; the rice grains were completely dissolved and melted in the mouth. The rich aroma of the preserved egg and the savory flavor of the lean meat blended together perfectly, and the warmth spread from the stomach to every part of the body.

"Delicious," Li Qiuchan exclaimed sincerely.

"Of course, my cooking skills are not just for show." Su Hao proudly raised his chin, sat down opposite her, and served himself a bowl of porridge.

The two sat facing each other, eating breakfast and chatting casually.

Li Qiuchan suddenly realized that she had actually gotten used to this kind of morning.

She was used to waking up every morning to the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, sitting at the dining table eating breakfast face-to-face with a man who would call her "wife" with a grin and not correct her.

After breakfast, the two drove to the Li Group.

As the car entered the underground parking lot, Li Qiuchan unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Su Hao, saying, "I have several important meetings this morning, so you'll have to manage your time yourself. Oh, and today is your duty day, so don't forget to go to your post."

"Duty day?" Su Hao was taken aback.

"The president's driver takes turns manning the security post in the underground parking lot once a week," Li Qiuchan explained.

"This is company policy, and I can't make an exception for you. Just bear with it for one day."

Su Hao sighed helplessly, "Alright, my wife has spoken, how could I dare disobey?"

"I told you to call him General Manager Li when you get to the company. If you do this again, you'll be fined!"

Li Qiuchan glared at him, picked up her bag, got out of the car, and walked towards the elevator in her high heels.

Su Hao shrugged, parked the car, and slowly walked towards the security booth at the entrance of the underground parking lot.

In the general manager's office, Li Cheng was sitting in a large office chair, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

He's been having a tough time lately.

I originally thought that the troubles I created for Li Qiuchan would overwhelm her and keep her busy, and that I would make her lose face in front of the board of directors, thereby shaking her position as president.

Unexpectedly, not only were all those troubles resolved, but the Li Group's performance also improved significantly.

What infuriated him even more was that the person who solved all these problems was Su Hao, the thorn in his side whom he disliked the most.

He had investigated Su Hao's background and knew that he had offended Zhao Kai in the past. He felt that Zhao Kai would soon teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

But no matter how long they waited, there was still no movement from Zhao Kai's side. He was such a coward!

In addition, since his younger sister Zhao Chunqing was disqualified from being a candidate for president by Li Zhongguo, she ran away on a trip in a fit of pique. She spends all her time traveling and having fun with Zhao Tai, the eldest son of the Zhao family, and has no time to deal with Li Qiuchan. As a result, he doesn't even have a pawn he can use now.

This isn't the worst part!

What upset him the most was that Zhou Qian's younger brother had actually been released!

He originally intended to use Zhou Qian's brother's situation to blackmail her into continuing to work for him.

Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon Society released him!

He called his friend in the Black Dragon Society, who told him in a serious tone that Zhang Tianhu's younger brother, Zhang Biao, had offended a big shot, and that big shot was demanding that Zhang Tianhu release the person.

Later, Zhang Tianhu was killed by that big shot.

Li Cheng was shocked at the time.

In Jinling, someone who could take down the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society must be incredibly terrifying.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy and frustrated he felt.

"No, I can't let Li Qiuchan continue like this, otherwise the Li Group will eventually leave me with nowhere to stay."

Li Cheng gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

After much thought, he decided to start with Su Hao.

Once this troublesome fellow is removed, Li Qiuchan will lose her sharpest claws, making it much easier to deal with her later.

He picked up the landline on the table and dialed the number of Lei Deyuan, the head of the security department.

"Hey? Minister Lei? Come to my office."
