Zhao Yanyan laughed and said, "It's okay. My dad is so busy every day that he's rarely home. As for my mom, she has her own things to do too. I can also say that I have to work overtime at the company. They don't really care about me anymore."
Zhao Yanyan's business acumen has been unleashed, and now Quanlegou is thriving under her leadership, with a branch in Donghai about to open.
In a sense, she really doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
So Zhao Tiande hardly ever asks her about her anymore, mainly because he feels it's unnecessary.
"Hehe, then it's settled."
"Xiao Wan, let's go look at houses tomorrow. As for the money, ask Xiao Yu for it; it's not a problem at all."
"Mmm~!!"
While we were talking, the assistant suddenly called.
Zhao Yanyan answered the phone: "President Zhao, the little princess from the Qin family has arrived. She said she's looking for President Su and has already gone upstairs."
Zhao Yanyan was startled, then said "I understand," hung up the phone, and looked at Su Lin, saying, "Qin Jiuyue is here to see you."
Su Lin said with some surprise, "Why is she here? It's already dinnertime."
Su Lin was planning to take Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu out for a meal, but unexpectedly Qin Jiuyue showed up.
"Is Qin Jiuyue from the Qin family?" Lin Xiaowan looked at Zhao Yanyan with doubt in her eyes, while glaring at Su Lin at the same time.
Zhao Yanyan nodded. She was the one who went to the Qin family to celebrate their birthday before.
Su Lin met her around that time.
Lin Xiaowan immediately looked at Su Lin; "Could this Qin Jiuyue also be one of our sisters?"
"Cough cough cough... No, this really isn't it," Su Lin quickly explained.
"I think even if it isn't, it'll be soon."
"Ahem... She's the legitimate daughter of the Qin family, how could that be? Xiao Wan, don't overthink it," Su Lin quickly comforted her.
"I can't be bothered with you, just don't bring any random women home."
"Definitely not, I have very high standards."
Lin Xiaowan was quite convinced of this; Su Lin really wouldn't be interested in just any woman.
"Go and entertain your distinguished guest. The three of us will continue our cultivation."
"Yes, yes, don't neglect your distinguished guest."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Seeing this, Su Lin had no choice but to get off the bed and leave the lounge in her slippers.
As soon as Su Lin left, the three girls followed him down and pressed themselves against the door, trying to eavesdrop on Su Lin and Qin Jiuyue's conversation.
Su Lin noticed the three women's subtle movements and smiled helplessly. He hadn't expected them to have a penchant for eavesdropping.
Just then, Qin Jiuyue knocked on the door outside the room. Su Lin went to open the door and said with some surprise, "Sister Xiaoyue, what brings you here?"
Qin Jiuyue blinked her big eyes; "What, are you not welcoming me?"
"Cough cough cough... No, it's just that I was a little surprised that you could still go out at this hour and come to see me," Su Lin said with a smile.
Qin Jiuyue smiled and said, "I came here with a mission. The Treasure Pavilion is going to hold a charity auction next week. Ten percent of the total auction proceeds will be donated to repair schools in the mountains. So my grandfather wants to make this auction bigger and there will be a lot of good stuff."
"My third grandfather said you like collecting things, so he asked me to deliver this invitation to you."
After saying that, Qin Jiuyue took a gold-embossed invitation from her small Hermes bag and handed it to Su Lin: "This is a VIP box seat that my third grandfather specially arranged for you."
Su Lin smiled and said, "Old Master Qin is so thoughtful; he didn't forget me even for such a good thing."
"My grandfather often talks about you. He says you have a special talent for porcelain and wants you to be his successor. But I know you definitely won't be his successor."
Su Lin nodded: "That's right, that thing is too boring, it's pointless."
"Hey, Su Lin, are you coming next week?"
Su Lin nodded: "Of course, the old man specifically asked you to deliver the invitation, how could I not give him face? Tell him I'll definitely be there on time."
"Okay, that's good. I'll go back and tell him. He'll definitely be happy."
After finishing her sentence, Qin Jiuyue started chatting with Su Lin: "Su Lin, do you know, Xiao Chen went to the Li family today."
Su Lin raised an eyebrow; "Oh? He still dares to go to the Li family?"
"Yeah, I heard that not only did you go, but you were also given a grand reception by the Li family patriarch. Your business partner was put in solitary confinement and even had to hand over the position of general manager." Qin Jiuyue said, looking at Su Lin with a hint of schadenfreude.
People in Donghai City love to compare her with Li Ziyu, but Qin Jiuyue dislikes such comparisons.
Because of Su Lin, she didn't have a good impression of Li Ziyu, so she couldn't help but feel happy to hear that Li Ziyu had been put in solitary confinement.
"Oh? Ziyu was put in solitary confinement, and she didn't give in?"
"I heard she had a big argument with Old Master Li, and in the end Old Master Li probably won, otherwise that woman wouldn't have handed over the position of general manager."
Su Lin chuckled and said, "Sister Xiaoyue, don't underestimate Ziyu. She does things in a very methodical and orderly way, with each step connected to the next. I think the Li Group basically listens to Li Ziyu now, and no one else could handle it."
"You mean, that woman deliberately gave up her seat, then secretly sabotaged things, and in the end, Old Master Li had no choice but to invite her back?"
Su Lin nodded; "That's right, based on my understanding of her, this is the kind of thing she would do."
"Believe it or not, the Li family's stock will fluctuate wildly in a few days."
"If that's really the case, should I go and remind Grandpa Li? Hehe!!"
Seeing the mischievous grin on Qin Jiuyue's face, Su Lin tapped her on the head and said, "Don't go causing trouble. I still have a business relationship with her."
"Tch! I know your tricks better than anyone, I'm just too lazy to get involved. Su Lin, do you believe me or not, if I were involved, I'd be no less capable than that woman?"
Su Lin was quite certain of this. Although Qin Jiuyue was a lucky charm at home, it didn't mean she lacked ability.
"I believe you, of course I believe you, but you can't make things worse, okay?"
Qin Jiuyue pouted; "You're only eighteen, but you act like you're much older than me. I'm not unreasonable. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."
Su Lin nodded: "It's getting late, let me take you home."
"So you really want to get rid of me? By the way, where's your long-legged manager? I didn't see her when I came up."
Su Lin thought to herself, "The long-legged manager is eavesdropping."
"She has her own things to do, why are you looking for her too?"
Qin Jiuyue shook her head: "No... I was just asking casually. Su Lin, I'll head back now. See you at the Treasure Pavilion next week."
Su Lin nodded: "Okay! See you at the Treasure Pavilion."
Qin Jiuyue came and went quickly, but the news she brought to Su Lin was very important.
He hadn't expected Li Ziyu to be put in solitary confinement. He thought Li Ziyu would pretend to agree to Li Weifeng's request and slowly get in touch with Xiao Chen, just like in the original story, and then turn the tables little by little. He didn't expect her to be so stubborn and directly go against Li Weifeng.
It seems that Li Ziyu has a lot of leverage, otherwise she wouldn't dare to do this.
Su Lin felt it was necessary to meet with Li Ziyu and then find a way to change the head of the Li family in advance, so that Li Ziyu would be in charge of the Li family and he could better entertain Xiao Chen.

After Qin Jiuyue left, Lin Xiaowan, Zhao Yanyan, and Xia Shiyu walked out of the lounge.
Lin Xiaowan, with a radiant smile, hugged Su Lin's arm and asked, "Su Lin, who is that woman from the Li family?"
"Could it be Li Ziyu from the Li family?" Zhao Yanyan guessed.
"Li Ziyu? The female CEO of the Li Group, I often see her on TV."
Faced with the three people's doubts, Su Lin had no choice but to say, "That's right, it's her. I have a business relationship with her."
"What kind of collaboration is it? Would you mind telling me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin grinned and said, "Xiao Wan, do you really want to know?"
Lin Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the dangerous look in Su Lin's eyes; "Su Lin, is he in danger?"
Su Lin rubbed Lin Xiaowan's head and laughed, "There's no danger, but there is a bit of risk."
"Oh? Can you tell me about it?"
All three of them became interested and waited eagerly for Su Lin to explain.
Seeing this, Su Lin had no choice but to say, "Li Ziyu wants to control the Li family."
"Hiss~!! Taking control of the Li family?"
"this..."
Su Lin recounted the marriage between Li Ziyu and Su Lin, as well as some details about her mother. The three women listened with a mixture of emotion and sympathy.
"I never imagined that such a beautiful and talented girl like Li Ziyu would have such a tragic past."
"Yeah, her father is such a jerk, how could he treat her mother like that?"
"President Li is so pitiful. No wonder she hardly ever smiles on TV."
Su Lin sighed, "That's why I'm cooperating with her. Xiao Yu, Yan Yan, Xiao Wan, this is a top secret, you all have to keep it a secret for me."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."
"I don't know either."
"I would rather die than tell."
