To My Dear Mr. Huo-Chapter 817 - Die under the peonies, even if you’re a ghost, you’re still a romantic
Chapter 817: Chapter 003: Die under the peonies, even if you’re a ghost, you’re still a romantic
Xiang caiping looked at her and then at the box. In the end, she shook her head and didn’t say anything.
Su Peizhen came to her senses. Xiang caiping probably didn’t like to see her accept Su Chenghui’s gift. She asked Xiao Ye to help her put the things upstairs.
As expected, Xiang caiping looked much better. There was a hint of a smile on her face. “I have a gift for you too. Peizhen, come with me.”
Su Peizhen followed Xiang caiping upstairs and entered her room. Su Peizhen noticed that Xiang caiping had given her a knitted sweater and a scarf for her birthday.
“Thank you, Mom. It’s very nice.”
“I, I’ve been a lot clumsy recently. I’m afraid it’s not as nice as the exquisite ones outside. You –”
Xiang caiping couldn’t continue. It wasn’t that she didn’t have money. It was just that she felt that giving jewelry and such things was too tacky.
She counted Su Peizhen’s birthday and knitted a sweater for her. She remembered that she had done the same thing for Su Qingsang before, and she was afraid that Su Peizhen would think that the gift was too light, so she knitted another scarf.
But she didn’t expect Su Chenghui to give such a thick gift.
“Mom, what are you talking about?”
It was a light khaki sweater with fine stitches. The design was novel, and more importantly, it was a gift.
“I like it very much. Thank you, Mom.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true.”It seemed that she was afraid that Xiang caiping wouldn’t believe it. “I’ll go change now.”
“No, no need. There’s a heater in this room.”Xiang caiping smiled again. This time, it was a comfortable smile.
Su Peizhen also heaved a sigh of relief. “Mom, let’s go out.”
“Okay.”
Su Peizhen brought Xiang caiping out of the house. There were many places in Rong city that she had never actually played before.
Back then, she thought that she came to Rong City to deal with Su Qingsang, but she did not expect to get herself into trouble. When they passed by the city center and waited for the red light, they happened to see the huge LED display screen in the square, which happened to be displaying the advertising advertisements of the Tian Domain Group.
Huo Jinyao sat there and talked about the future development plans of the Skyfield Group with ease.
“I heard that President Huo is already married and has children? I wonder how president Huo balances work and family time? For example, how does president Huo choose when work time conflicts with family needs?”
“There’s no need to balance or choose. In My Heart, my family is the most important thing. Whether it’s my wife or my two children, they are the most precious things in my heart. They will always be the first.”
“Of course, I also believe in my own ability. I believe in all the employees of Sky Territory Group. I believe that we can lead sky territory to a new glory.”
The sound of the horn behind her made Su Peizhen withdraw her gaze and step on the accelerator.
Xiang caiping, who was sitting next to her, naturally saw it as well. She looked at Su Peizhen with a complicated expression. “Peizhen?”
“I’m fine.”Su Peizhen’s expression was very indifferent. “Mom, you don’t have to think too much.”
“I –“Xiang caiping was really afraid that Su Peizhen would go against Su Qingsang and her husband again.
Su Peizhen glanced at her and used the gap between waiting for the red light to Pat the back of her hand. “Mom, don’t worry. I know what’s important. I Won’t let myself walk the same path again.”
“It’s not that I’m worried, Mom. I’m just worried about you. They…”after all, they were living high-spirited lives now. But compared to Su Peizhen..
Xiang caiping couldn’t say for sure. If it weren’t for her appearance, Su Peizhen would still be the eldest daughter of the Su family. She was doted on by thousands of people.
However, things weren’t going as planned.
“I said, I’m fine.”Su Peizhen wasn’t overestimating herself to that extent now. Besides, even though SU Chenghui was the one who helped get her out this time, Su Peizhen knew that Su Peizhen would not be able to save her.
However, without the tacit approval of SU Qingsang and Huo Jinyao, with their abilities, she would definitely still be in there.
Even if Su Peizhen did not say anything, she would have accepted it.
It was fine as it was now. They should just go about their own business.
“Look at me. I’m getting old, but I talk too much.”
Xiang caiping changed the topic, and Su Peizhen did not bring it up again. In fact, she would not even feel emotional if Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang appeared in front of her, let alone just an interview.
Xiang caiping had always been the only one who made her heart tired. The pressure she gave herself was much greater than when she saw her old enemies.
There was really nothing to see in the winter mountain scenery. Su Peizhen was just taking the opportunity to relax.
As she walked, her mood was really much better. She thought that perhaps after she had arranged the work in her hands, she could follow Xiang caiping for a long-term trip.
Xiang caiping should be happier this way, right?
This birthday, Su Peizhen was having quite a good time. Putting aside the guilt and pity in Xiang Caiping’s eyes from time to time, she felt a little depressed. Other times, it was not bad.
As for Xiang caiping’s attitude, she did not expect to correct it. After all, she had mentioned it after she came out, but she could not walk out. Let Her Be.
… ..
Su Peizhen sat in the meeting room. She looked at the report in front of her, and her gaze moved from the report to the face of one of the people sitting in front of her. The other person had his head half-lowered and did not look at her. She suddenly raised her hand, and the report fell straight on the person’s face.
The report hit the bridge of the other person’s nose, then fell to the ground and scattered all over the ground. The other managers at the side did not even dare to breathe heavily.
Su Peizhen finished throwing the report and looked at the person in front of her. Manager Wang of the company’s purchasing department.
“I know, my mother has always been generous. So she will be more friendly to you people who have started a business with her than others, but this is not the reason for you to do things like this.”
“The price is 10% higher than the market price. How did you hand over such a report? Why? You see that I have been silent for a few months after taking over, so you have started to revert to your old ways, right?”
“President Su.”Manager Wang still wanted to say something, but Su Peizhen did not want to hear it anymore.
“Don’t call me. Go to the finance department to get this month’s salary. You are fired.”
“President Su.”Manager Wang looked shocked. “I’m President Xiang –”
“Don’t mention my mother.”. “I’ll say it again. My mother is my mother, and I am me.”. “Here you are. I’ll put it this way. Do what you want to do, or leave if you don’t want to. “Since I’m in charge here, you have to follow my rules. “If you don’t want to, you can all leave.”
The other managers present didn’t say anything. Manager Wang originally hoped that others would speak up for him, but at this stage, no one dared to talk to him.
He could only walk out dejectedly. After he left, Su Peizhen took out another document.
“For the past two years, I haven’t said anything about expanding our company. After all, my mother is old. She has limited energy. “However, the turnover of the two stores has been declining for the past two years. “During the few months that I took over, I’ve seen through some problems clearly. “I’ve prepared a plan here.”
After taking out the document, she glanced at her secretary, Zhou Mei.
“Pass this out.”
Zhou Mei stood up and passed the document to everyone.
“If you want to increase the turnover, you have to make some changes. Online shopping, delivery to home. Improving the quality of service, improving the after-sales service experience, these are the inevitable trends of the current development. In the past, my mother didn’t understand the internet. In this aspect, she was very lacking. From today onwards, I will change this situation. I have already arranged for a few online merchant platforms. When the time comes, online and offline, we will unify the price, unify the distribution, and optimize the service. I hope you understand. In this era, you can either keep up with the trends of the times, or you’ll be eliminated by the times
“If you don’t want to be eliminated, then you have to change. If you only want to rely on your previous relationship with my mother and wait for death to come, then you can all leave. I’ll say it again. I don’t keep idle people here.”
Su Peizhen’s outburst was over, and she returned to her office. For some reason, she felt a little unhappy.
Before this, she didn’t take these two department stores seriously. With her ability, such a small company was really only enough for her to practice.
Before she was sent to prison, she already had a plan. Who knew that after she was sent to prison, Xiang caiping didn’t have the mood to do business at all. If it wasn’t for her good foundation before this, she would have closed down long ago.
Now that she saw the company in this state, she really wanted to chase these old guys home. However, she couldn’t go home and criticize Xiang caiping. Seriously speaking, in terms of business, it was already her limit that she could do this.
After all, Xiang caiping wasn’t Li Qianxue. She wasn’t like Li Qianxue, who was brought up by Old Master Li.
She had looked at her coldly for the past few months. Now was the time for her to make a big change. She had not made a move before because Xiang caiping was afraid that she would not be used to it and would come to see her from time to time.
Now that Xiang caiping was gradually relieved and the authority was in her hands, she had nothing to worry about.
After Su Peizhen had done all this, she received a call from Xiang caiping when she was about to get off work. It turned out that manager Wang was so shameless that he went to Xiang caiping to complain.
Su Peizhen, who was in a good mood after a day of sightseeing with Xiang caiping yesterday, was in no mood at all.
“Mom, if you trust me, don’t interfere with my decision. If you don’t trust me, you can take back these two department stores. I promise I won’t say anything else.”
With her ability, even if she went out to start her own business, she would only have a better life and gain more.
“Peizhen, that’s not what I meant. I’m just saying that manager Wang is also an old man. He –”
“Taking advantage of your seniority to sell your own wealth is even more unforgivable. Mom, I know you’re soft-hearted, but being soft-hearted also depends on the place.”
Su Peizhen was anxious, and her tone unconsciously became a little more anxious. She realized that this attitude was not right, so she shut up in time.
“Okay, Mom, you don’t have to care about the company’s matters. Just focus on growing plants at home. I’m going to have dinner with the people from the online business platform tonight, so I won’t be coming back for dinner.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Peizhen had a slight headache. Xiang caiping’s soft-heartedness was like that to everyone.
Looking at her previous style of doing things, she was a little fierce. After she got out of prison, she didn’t know what Xiang caiping was thinking, but she actually felt that it was her fault. She thought about atonement every day.
It was understandable that she was kind to her subordinates, but to the point of indulgence, that was something she couldn’t tolerate.
However, she didn’t take the opportunity to flare up. She did have dinner with the people from the e-commerce platform that night. The place where she had dinner was not far from Rong Yuan, where she lived.
After having dinner with the representatives of the other party, she set up the cooperation between the two department stores and the other party online. Once the contract was signed, the company would enter a new era.
Su Peizhen bade farewell to the other party. She originally wanted to go home, but when she thought of Xiang caiping, she was afraid that she would come and Nag at her. She turned the steering wheel. She returned to Rong Yuan.
Before she was imprisoned, she was sentenced to three million yuan for the Tian Domain Group. After she was released, Su Chenghui had mentioned giving her a portion of his shares in order to compensate her.
She didn’t want it. Before she came to Rong City, she had some other businesses under her name. Now, they added up to about seventy to eighty million yuan.
If this amount of money was placed in the Su family’s past, it wouldn’t be enough. But now, it was the capital that she wanted to go further.
She had already thought about what she wanted to invest in, and she had been doing it for the past few months. She was very confident in herself. This confidence stemmed from the Su family’s nurturing of her, as well as her innate business vision.
She did not care about money now. She had already stayed in a place like prison. With her current savings and business, she could still live well.
However, life was too long, and it was too boring for her at the moment. Having lost her enemy, she had nothing to do. She could only find something to busy herself with.
Before entering the house, she made a phone call and asked someone to send up some fruits and ingredients.
She pressed her fingerprint and opened the door. The lights inside made Su Peizhen squint her eyes. She seemed to suddenly remember that when she left earlier, the injured man didn’t seem to have left?
She didn’t see him the moment she closed the door. Su Peizhen’s lips pursed into a straight line. She gently put down her bag, changed into her shoes, and entered the house.
She walked to the kitchen and directly took the largest kitchen knife that she had never used before to chop meat.
There was no one in the study, and there was no one in her room. That was true. She had locked the door before she left.
She vaguely heard the sound of water in the bathroom. Su Peizhen walked to the bathroom with the kitchen knife in her hand.
Ling Jing was taking a shower. He only had a wound on his chest, so he could avoid this wound. He could still take a shower in other places.
The sound of water drowned out the sound of Su Peizhen entering the door. When he took a towel from the side and wrapped it around his waist, a kitchen knife was placed in front of his chest.
Ling Jing was stunned. He followed the kitchen knife and looked at the person who came.
“Beauty, you’re back?”
The surprise only lasted for a moment. In the blink of an eye, Ling Jing changed into a light-hearted look.
Su Peizhen ignored the smile on the man’s face. She pushed the kitchen knife forward. “I think I said, please leave this place?”
“Beauty, I want to leave too.”Ling Jing spread his hands, he ignored the kitchen knife that was pressed against his chest wound. “But how can I leave? I have no clothes, no money, and it’s such a cold day. Do you want me to run outside naked? Then I will die.”
“That’s your business, not mine.”The kitchen knife in Su Peizhen’s hand had already touched the bandage on the man’s chest. “Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, I don’t mind cutting you again.”
“Cutting you again.”Ling Jing glanced at the kitchen knife. “Heh. Beauty. It’s illegal to kill people. You’re so beautiful. Don’t tell me you’re thinking of going to jail?”
“Really? Then I’ve really disappointed you. I just got out of jail.”Su Peizhen was extremely calm when talking about the past when others felt ashamed.
“No Way?”Ling Jing took Su Peizhen’s words as a scare. He chuckled and lifted his hand to place it on Su Peizhen’s chin. “Such a beautiful woman came out of jail? What’s the charge? It can’t be that, right?”
His gaze was very light. Needless to say, Su Peizhen knew what he meant.
She sneered and pushed the kitchen knife forward. This strike just happened to land on Ling Jing’s wound. Su Peizhen’s face was extremely cold, and the words she said were even colder.
“Murder. Do you want to try it?”
At that moment, Ling Jing really felt the killing intent on her face.
There was a moment of silence in the air. Su Peizhen didn’t retract her kitchen knife because she was beautiful. Even if she threatened people with the kitchen knife, such a move would be flirtatious and not scary.
Ling Jing’s eyes flashed with interest. Not only did he not retract his hand that was on Su Peizhen’s chin, but he also lifted Su Peizhen’s chin slightly.
“Beauty, have you ever heard of a saying?”His other hand held the back of the kitchen knife and gently pushed it away. “Even if you die under the peonies, you can still be a romantic ghost.”
“…”
Su Peizhen did not see how the man moved, but the next second, the kitchen knife was snatched away by him and thrown to the side.
She widened her eyes and just as she wanted to raise her hand to attack the man, the man quickly stopped her hand. He leaned over and pressed her against the bathroom wall.
He had just taken a shower, and the bathroom was filled with steam. The Man’s face was enlarged in front of her. That pair of Phoenix eyes, looking at it from such a close distance, was indeed demonic.
The next second, the man’s lips kissed hers. Su Peizhen raised her eyebrows, and killing intent flashed in her eyes again.
The man’s lips were warm and wet. In the moment of her shock, the man had already planned to take a step further.
With both hands restrained, she raised her foot to attack the other party’s lower body. The other party seemed to have been prepared for this and directly restrained her legs.
Su Peizhen looked at the enlarged face in front of her and did not miss the flash of pride in the man’s eyes.
Sneering, she suddenly turned the tables and attacked the other party’s territory. Not only did she not refuse, but she took the initiative to cater to him and tried her best to tease him.
A flash of surprise flashed across Ling Jing’s eyes, while Su Peizhen’s eyes were calm and emotionless.
Their lips and teeth were intertwined. At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely lingering.
Su Peizhen was not an ignorant little girl. She was willing to admit that the other party’s kissing skills were not bad. She relaxed herself and softened her body, allowing herself to become more and more immersed in this kiss.
Ling Jing was seduced by Su Peizhen’s actions and actually had other thoughts.
This Woman’s kiss was really not bad. He couldn’t help but want more. After all, he had been a vegetarian for a long time.
Just as he was about to move his hand to Su Peizhen’s waist and hold her body to take a step further, Su Peizhen’s hand suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Su Peizhen quickly withdrew her hand and raised her head. She appeared to be accommodating, but she stretched out her fist and directly hit the man’s chest.
“Chi –”
Su Peizhen’s action was out of Ling Jing’s expectations. He couldn’t Dodge Su Peizhen’s hand at all.
The wound on his chest was heavily punched by her. He took a few steps back.
He covered his chest with his hand and looked at the woman in front of him in shock.
Su Peizhen’s expression was gloomy. There was no trace of emotion on her face.
“K. Woman, do you have to be so ruthless?”
“I’ve already warned you.”
Su Peizhen gave him a cold look. She turned around and walked to the place where the kitchen knife had fallen. The other party’s throw just now had made a hole in the tiles.
She picked up the kitchen knife and looked at the wound on Ling Jing’s chest that seemed to have split open because she could see the blood oozing out from it.
From this, it could be seen how heavy her punch just now was. Before Ling Jing got up, she pointed the tip of the knife at him again.
“If you don’t get out of here, I really don’t mind stabbing you again.”
Ling Jing had never met such a woman before. He believed that his family background and looks were not bad. Since he knew about men and women, which one of those women did not squeeze in front of him one after another?
Even without looking at his family background, just his figure and looks could make those women fall in love with him. It was the first time that Su Peizhen didn’t give him face.
The interest in his heart was piqued, but Ling Jing calmed down instead.
He looked at the coldness in Su Peizhen’s eyes and pretended to continue moving forward. However, after taking one step, his feet suddenly softened and he fell directly in front of Su Peizhen.
The fall was too fast for Su Peizhen to see. He put more strength on his wound.
This time, he bled even more and looked even scarier. He fell down just like that and closed his eyes.
… ..
The man fainted and his wound opened up again. Su Peizhen naturally couldn’t tell him to scram anymore.
She closed her eyes. She had the urge to throw the man out without caring about him and let him freeze to death outside.
At this moment, her phone rang.
“Mom.”
“Peizhen? You’re not off work yet?”
“I’m off work. Didn’t I tell you? I’m having dinner with someone outside.”
“OH. Yes, yes. You said it just now. Are you coming back today?”
“No. The place where I’m eating is very close to Rongyuan. I’ll stay here today.”
As Su Peizhen spoke, she walked to the man on the ground. His body was covered in blood. She gave him a kick, but there was no reaction.
“Okay, then you take good care of yourself. I’ll get Xiao Zhao to cook for you tomorrow morning, okay?”
“No need.”Su Peizhen thought of Xiao Zhao as she spoke. She thought for a moment. “Mom, I can cook myself. It’s late, you should rest first.”
She wasn’t in the mood to care about Xiang caiping’s fragile heart. Su Peizhen hung up the phone and stared at the man for a long time.
If she didn’t make a move and threw the man out, the man would definitely die.
He was good-looking and had good kissing skills. During the two years he was in prison, he had heard all kinds of dirty words from the women inside.
Even if he really wanted to change them, some people’s nature couldn’t be changed. Moreover, Su Peizhen was someone who had tasted the relationship between a man and a woman.
She touched her chin. Su Peizhen’s gaze swept over the man’s body again.
She didn’t look at him carefully before, but now that she looked at him seriously, he had a good figure. When she came in just now, she seemed to have seen that he had abdominal muscles?
When the man took away her kitchen knife, he grabbed her hand very quickly and with strength. In terms of appearance, he could barely be considered excellent.
If he was injured, he might be a hooligan. A man who didn’t have much of a future or a way out. A person like that, with nowhere to go, would be easier to control.
Forget it. Her current life was too boring, too boring.
Then she would be kind enough not to kill him. If she didn’t throw him out, she would treat him as a gigolo.
