My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

"Father!" Su Qingyuan looked at him in disbelief, "How could you do this to me?"

"I'm doing this for your own good, and for the good of the entire Su family."

Su Zhenbang said coldly, "Think about it carefully. Do you choose a good-for-nothing of dubious origin, or do you choose your family, the home where you grew up?"

After saying that, he picked up the documents on the table and left the conference room without looking back.

The others also stood up, casting either sympathetic or mocking glances at Su Qingyuan.

"Oh, they really don't know what's good for them."

"Just wait and see. In three days, she'll definitely come back crying and begging us."

"By then, that good-for-nothing will have long since run away. Let's see what she does then."

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the conference room door was gently closed.

In the huge conference room, only Su Qingyuan remained.

She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and finally couldn't hold back her tears as they slid down her cheeks.

It's not that she wasn't afraid.

The burden of 1.8 billion yuan in debt, the wages of hundreds of workers, and the very survival of the Su family all rested on her shoulders.

She simply believed in Ye Xunhuan.

She believed in the man who seemed carefree and irresponsible, yet always brought her hope in her most desperate moments.

Just then, the conference room door was gently pushed open a crack.

A head popped in, a strawberry-flavored lollipop dangling from its mouth, revealing a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

"Hey, who made our beautiful Qingyuan cry?"

Ye Xunhuan slowly walked in, carrying a plastic bag with a cartoon pattern on it.

He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, his hair was a little messy, but he looked exceptionally sunny and handsome.

Seeing Su Qingyuan crying with tears streaming down her face, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he quickly walked over.

"What's wrong?" He awkwardly reached out and wiped away her tears, his voice filled with heartache.

"Did those old geezers bully you? Tell me, and I'll beat them up for you."

When Su Qingyuan saw him, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.

"They all bully me," she said, choking back tears.

"They said you were a good-for-nothing, a jinx, and that you were going to run away with the money."

"My father told me to save the Su family within three days, or I would have to marry Zhao Zhenyu."

Ye Xunhuan gently patted her back, his eyes gradually turning cold.

But his voice remained incredibly gentle: "Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. If you cry again, you'll turn into a little kitten, and that won't be pretty."

He took a tissue out of his pocket, wiped away the tears on her face, and then pinched her cheek.

"With me here, no one can do anything to you."

"Don't even mention a small family like the Zhao family. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't be able to force you to marry someone you don't like."

Su Qingyuan raised her head, looking at Ye Xunhuan with teary eyes.

"The bank demands we repay 1.8 billion yuan, and the workers are blocking the gate demanding their unpaid wages."

"It's only 1.8 billion, no big deal."

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, reached out and playfully flicked her nose, "I thought it was something serious, that you were so scared."

"What time is it? You're still joking around." Su Qingyuan punched him lightly and said irritably.

"Eighteen billion! Even if you sold the entire Su family, you couldn't raise that much money."

"Who said they were going to sell the Su family?"

Ye Xunhuan waved the plastic bag in his hand and presented it to her like a treasure, "Look, I brought you some delicious food."

He took out a steaming hot sausage from the plastic bag; it was shiny with oil and smelled delicious.

"I just bought it downstairs, it's your favorite black pepper flavor."

He held the sausage to her lips. "Here, have a bite."

"Only when you're full do you have the energy to argue with those people and watch them get slapped in the face."

Su Qingyuan shook her head: "What's the point of eating? I'm not in the mood."

"Even if you're not in the mood, you still have to eat." Ye Xunhuan deliberately waved the grilled sausage under her nose.

"Smell it, it smells so good. It would be a shame not to eat it."

Seeing that Su Qingyuan still wouldn't eat, he simply took a bite himself and then held it to her lips: "See, I've already tasted it for you, it's not poisoned. Come on—"

Su Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle at his words, and took a small bite.

"That's more like it." Ye Xunhuan smiled like a child who had stolen candy, and held the sausage to her lips again, "One more bite."

And so, we took turns eating, and the sausage was quickly finished.

Ye Xunhuan took out a tissue and wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, then casually added, "Don't worry, I've already had someone take care of this little thing."

Su Qingyuan was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask who it was, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhao Zhenyu was wearing a custom-made Armani suit, a Patek Philippe watch worth millions on his wrist, and his hair was so slicked back that even flies couldn't land on it.

He walked in, beaming with pride, holding a large bouquet of 99 red roses in his hands, followed by two bodyguards in black suits.

"Qingyuan! I'm here!"

His voice was loud and clear, and he had a confident smile on his face.

"Great news! Fantastic news! I've completely resolved the Su family's crisis!"

Su Qingyuan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan raised an eyebrow, said nothing, but leaned against the table next to him, a new lollipop dangling from his mouth, watching Zhao Zhenyu's performance with great interest and a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Zhao Zhenyu! What did you say?" Su Qingyuan asked incredulously.

"I said, I've completely resolved the Su family's crisis!"

Zhao Zhenyu walked up to Su Qingyuan, stuffed the roses into her arms, and said triumphantly, "After I learned that the Su family was in trouble, I immediately used all the connections in the Zhao family."

"I had my dad personally call President Wang of the provincial branch, and also greet all the partners and building material suppliers. Once they heard it was me, Zhao Zhenyu, who would dare disrespect me?"

"Really?" Su Qingyuan frowned, her heart filled with doubt.

She clearly remembered Ye Xunhuan saying that he had already had someone take care of it, so how could it be such a coincidence?

"Of course it's true!" Zhao Zhenyu patted his chest and guaranteed, his voice so loud that the entire conference room could hear him.

"When have I, Zhao Zhenyu, ever lied to you? For you, let alone 1.8 billion, even 18 billion, I can get it done for you!"

He deliberately turned his head to look at Ye Xunhuan, his face revealing undisguised contempt and mockery.

"Unlike some people who only talk big and live off women, when it really comes down to it, they're nowhere to be seen."

Ye Xunhuan remained leaning against the table, a lollipop dangling from his mouth, looking at Zhao Zhenyu with a half-smile, without saying a word.

The more he acted this way, the more arrogant Zhao Zhenyu became.

Just then, Su Qingyuan's phone suddenly started vibrating wildly.

It was Su Zhenhai calling.

Su Qingyuan took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Qingyuan! Qingyuan!" Su Zhenhai's excited, incoherent voice came through the phone.

"A miracle! It's absolutely a miracle!"

"President Wang from the provincial branch just called me personally! He said not only will they not withdraw the loan, but they'll also give us an additional 5 billion yuan in credit! The interest rate will be the lowest possible! And we won't even have to do the paperwork; they'll send someone to our door to handle it!"

"And what about our partners! All the partners who terminated their contracts with us just called, crying and begging to renew!"

"They even voluntarily increased the penalty for breach of contract fivefold! They said they were in the wrong before and begged for our forgiveness!"

"The building materials supplier called too! They said they've delivered all the building materials to the construction site, and it's all free! They also said they'll cover all the building materials for the Su family from now on, and give us a 20% discount!"

"And the workers! The construction site just called to say they've all gone back to work! Someone paid them three months' wages and gave each of them a 1000 yuan bonus!"

"Qingyuan! Our Su family is saved! Not only are we saved, but we're stronger than ever!"

Su Qingyuan froze, holding her phone.

She glanced subconsciously at Ye Xunhuan beside her, then at the smug Zhao Zhenyu in front of her, her mind a complete mess.

Could it be... that Zhao Zhenyu really did it?

"How about it? Qingyuan, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Zhao Zhenyu became even more smug when he saw Su Qingyuan's expression, his chin practically pointing to the sky.

"I told you, with me, Zhao Zhenyu, around, no one can touch the Su family!"

Su Zhenhai's voice came through the phone again, "President Wang said he's on his way to our company and will arrive in half an hour! He specifically requested that you personally oversee this cooperation project!"

"Did you hear that, Qingyuan?" Zhao Zhenyu said with a smile, his tone full of pride.

"I specifically asked President Wang to do this! I know you're capable, so I specifically asked him to put this project in your hands, so you can finally hold your head high in the Su family!"

He paused, then added, "President Wang and my dad have been friends for decades, and he usually calls me his nephew."

"If it weren't for my sake, why would he have personally come to deliver a 5 billion loan?"

Su Qingyuan bit her lip and remained silent.

She still felt something was off, but all the evidence pointed to Zhao Zhenyu.

"Qing...Qingyuan, is Young Master Zhao next to you?" Su Zhenhai asked cautiously.

"Yes," Su Qingyuan said calmly.

"That's great!" Su Zhenhai's voice immediately became obsequious.

"Young Master Zhao, thank you so much! You are truly a great benefactor to our Su family! We, the entire Su family, will never forget you! From now on, whatever you need, our Su family will go through fire and water for you!"

Zhao Zhenyu took Su Qingyuan's phone and said to Su Zhenhai on the other end:

"Second Uncle, you're too kind. Qingyuan is the woman I love, and her affairs are my affairs. Protecting her and the Su family is what I should do."
