TLAIALS Chapter 93

Today was the day to sign the European market contract with Gemini Group.

In the vast conference room, only two people sat facing each other, and the air pressure had clearly dropped to freezing.

“Long time no see.” He She clasped his hands together on the table, smiling at the man across from him. “It seems you’ve been quite successful these past few years. Back then, pestering Qiao allowed you to take a shortcut. It was a good shortcut, wasn’t it, President Luo?”

Luo Qing Ye had never expected that the Vice President sent by Gemini Group to sign the agreement would be He She. He sneered: “If I had known Gemini Group still had a scumbag like you, I would never have worked with Gemini again.”

5 years in prison seemed to have had no effect on He She, except that he could no longer work as a doctor.

Now, he could still appear before him in such a glamorous manner.

He deserved a beating.

He She smiled: “What? Are you so powerful now? Can you break the contract on Qiao’s behalf?”

“Break the contract? Why would I?” Luo Qing Ye tossed the contract in front of He She with a snap: “What I said earlier was that if I’d known you were in Gemini Group, I wouldn’t have cooperated with them. But now that I’ve signed, I have to take responsibility. After all, I’m your boss, right?”

“It seems you’re very different from Qiao. You’re very rational. You can’t compare personal matters with money, right?” He She looked at the young man before him, a stark contrast to the man he was 8 years ago. Today, Luo Qing Ye is a capable executive, and together with Chu Yi Qiao, he owns the city’s leading group, instantly becoming a prodigy.

So he still has regrets.

It should have been him.

Luo Qing Ye felt a strong possibility of hitting someone, but he had to remain calm. Chu Yi Qiao hadn’t returned yet. If he did anything that disgraced the group, he’d still be the one to be scolded.

But could he swallow this anger?

He had originally thought that the partnership he’d struck with Gemini Group would earn him praise from Chu Yi Qiao. After all, Chu Yi Qiao had broken a contract for him before. This time, considering the group’s aggressive expansion into the European market and Gemini Group being Switzerland’s largest biomedical group, he saw no harm in any way.

Thinking back on how his so-called parents had fulfilled their duties as grandparents over the years, no matter how little he felt about his biological parents, the incredible blood relationship of grandparents still allowed them some contact.

The children loved their grandparents, and they were indeed very kind to them.

He’d let his guard down.

Now he’d been dealt a heavy blow. What on earth was the Gemini Group involved in?

The scum who nearly killed Chu Yi Qiao had emerged! !!!

So now he had the audacity to appear before him and call his Lao Po “Qiao” so arrogantly? Where did he get the nerve?

“He She, are you still here to be a boot-licking dog?”

He She’s face darkened at the words, but his good manners allowed him to maintain his composure: “President Luo, didn’t Qiao teach you etiquette? You’re all well-known figures. What would others think of you if they knew?”

“Etiquette?” Luo Qing Ye clasped his hands in front of his stomach, crossed his legs, and looked at He She. He smiled: “Etiquette is for people, not dogs. Are you a human? No, you’re a beast.”

“Luo Qing Ye!” He She couldn’t stand such vulgar words: “I can’t imagine why Qiao would choose someone as vulgar and rude as you? You are really not worthy of him.”

Luo Qing Ye laughed out loud as if he heard a joke, but there was no warmth in his eyes: “Do you think he should choose you? A selfish and arrogant Alpha.”

“If you hadn’t appeared, Qiao would definitely have been cured by me. His pheromones and I——”

“We have been married for 8 years and have 3 children.” Luo Qing Ye interrupted He She directly, as if he was looking at a poor thing: “Are you still dreaming? God, you’re so pitiful.”

He She’s face suddenly darkened.

“Why wouldn’t you do something else with this time?” Luo Qing Ye spun his chair around, leaving the table and standing up with the help of his armrest. He then walked over to He She, leaning on the table beside him and looking down at him. “You have to understand that youth can sometimes be an asset. Someone like you, with your selfish, pedantic ideas and self-righteous Alpha male chauvinism, has the guts to covet my Lao Po.”

“Luo Qing Ye, you are really arrogant.” He She sneered.

“Old man, compared to you, I certainly have the luxury of arrogance, don’t I?” Luo Qing Ye sneered. He picked up the contract and threw it at He She. “Take this contract, worth over a billion yuan. Don’t let someone else’s cigarette ash burn you through your lunch. That’s pathetic.”

He stood up, expressionlessly smoothing the wrinkles on his suit as he prepared to leave the meeting room.

“What’s so great about you? Didn’t you just get to marry Chu Yi Qiao!”

He She’s exasperated voice behind him made Luo Qing Ye feel a little relieved, but not enough. He slowly turned to look at He She, his face reflected in his dark eyes.

“The most remarkable thing I’ve ever done in my life is being with Chu Yi Qiao.”

The resolute words echoed through the meeting room.

“He’s willing to be with me, willing to marry me. I, Luo Qing Ye, am truly remarkable.”

He She’s chest heaved with rage: “If it weren’t for you, Qiao would be mine! There wouldn’t be anything with you at all!”

Luo Qing Ye sneered at He She’s words. He knew Chu Yi Qiao would scold him if he knew he was about to do such a crude act, but since he couldn’t hit He She, he at least let him have his fun.

He raised his middle finger towards He She, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.

“Keep dreaming, you pathetic old boot-licking dog.:

He turned around, regaining his expression, and pushed open the conference room door.

Next time he saw He She, he would just fight him. He wouldn’t be so polite as this time.

 

***

 

Chu Yi Qiao returned to the group and heard a lot of whispers from the moment he entered the lobby.

“……You don’t know. I didn’t even dare to bring coffee to President Luo. President Luo was furious. He just dumped the contract on that Vice President from Gemini Group. I thought they were going to fight. I’ve never seen President Luo so out of control.”

“You only came here in the past 2 years, so you don’t know. That Vice President from Gemini Group was Dr He, President Chu’s doctor back then. I don’t know what happened to him, but I haven’t seen him since. It turns out he went to Switzerland for career development, and now he directly became the Vice President.”

“But why is President Luo so angry?”

“Ah, hello, President Chu!”

A few employees were whispering in the cafeteria when they suddenly saw Chu Yi Qiao appear behind them. Their coffee shook in shock. They had just come out to slack off for a few minutes, but not only were they caught slacking off, but they were also caught gossiping.

Chu Yi Qiao looked at the employees in front of him with a cold expression: “What are you doing here during working hours?”

Koko standing behind him sighed helplessly, taking advantage of President Chu’s absence again.

“Sorry, President Chu, we’re going back to work!”

Just as they were about to leave, Chu Yi Qiao stopped them.

“What were you talking about?” Chu Yi Qiao recalled the conversation he had vaguely overheard. “Who came to sign the contract for Gemini Group?”

“It seems to be the Vice President of Gemini Group, He She.”

Chu Yi Qiao’s expression changed, his eyes growing colder beneath his glasses. “He She? Has he left?”

“Not yet.”

Chu Yi Qiao seemed to have thought of something and turned to leave the cafeteria, but his steps stopped abruptly. He turned to look at Koko. “Free up an hour. Don’t come to my office for this hour. Bring two espressos to my office in an hour.”

“Okay, President Chu.” Koko nodded.

Chu Yi Qiao hurried to the elevator.

He had never imagined that He She would be released from prison, and even dared to come to Galaxy Group.

The price of crime is truly low.

He wasn’t worried about the contract right now, he was worried Luo Qing Ye might get angry. That guy had been upset for a long time because he hadn’t seen He She sentenced. Now He She had dared to appear before them, which was undoubtedly a bombshell dropped directly on them.

He took the elevator straight up to the conference room floor and walked quickly towards it.

Just as he reached the door, he heard a voice coming from inside.

It was Luo Qing Ye speaking.

“The most remarkable thing I’ve ever done in my life is being with Chu Yi Qiao. He’s willing to be with me, willing to marry me. I, Luo Qing Ye, am truly remarkable.”

“Keep dreaming, you pathetic old boot-licking dog.”

Instantly, the door to the conference room opened.

Luo Qing Ye seemed to haven’t expected Chu Yi Qiao to be standing at the door. He froze for a moment, instinctively touching his trouser leg. Fortunately, he had already lowered his middle finger.

“You, you’re back?” Thinking of He She sitting inside, he quickly opened his arms to block the conference room door: “Don’t go in.”

“Qiao, is that you?”

He She’s joyful voice came from inside, and Chu Yi Qiao felt extremely disgusted. He frowned and took out his phone to call the group’s security captain:

“Send a few people to the conference room and take He She away. This person is not allowed to set foot in the Galaxy Group again.”

Luo Qing Ye was stunned.

Chu Yi Qiao hung up the phone and looked up at Luo Qing Ye: “Lock the door, and then follow me up.”

With that, he turned and walked towards the elevator.

Luo Qing Ye immediately closed the conference room door. The lock was on the outside, so he obediently locked it and followed Chu Yi Qiao.

He didn’t care about the old man knocking on the door.

As soon as the door to the President’s conference room closed, Luo Qing Ye could no longer control his temper.

“If I had known Gemini Group had He She’s involvement, I wouldn’t have signed this damn contract!! Now I’m sickened to see him constantly because of work!”

Chu Yi Qiao watched Luo Qing Ye, pacing back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hands on his hips, furious: “Did you hit anyone?”

Luo Qing Ye was already furious, and hearing Chu Yi Qiao ask this question immediately made him feel wronged. He looked at Chu Yi Qiao and said: “No, if I did, you’d probably curse me to death, but I’m holding it in!”

He rubbed his fists with gritted teeth.

“He deserves a beating.”

Luo Qing Ye’s hand paused, a little surprised by Chu Yi Qiao’s words: “……What?”

“I said, he deserves a beating.” Chu Yi Qiao walked towards Luo Qing Ye and pulled him to a chair.

Luo Qing Ye was pushed back into a chair. He looked up at Chu Yi Qiao: “Wouldn’t you be angry if I hit someone? If word got out that Galaxy Group’s top brass had assaulted someone, it would be embarrassing.”

Chu Yi Qiao bent down, lifted Luo Qing Ye’s chin, and stroked his lips with his fingertips: “It’s not embarrassing.”

The voice, neither soft nor heavy, struck Luo Qing Ye’s heart.

“How can upholding justice be embarrassing, right?” Chu Yi Qiao smiled: “What my Lao Gong said just now was so good. I’m so happy to hear it.”

Luo Qing Ye’s Adam’s apple rolled. The bad mood he had just felt after meeting He She seemed to have been calmed down by Chu Yi Qiao: “So, is there a reward?”

“Yes.” Chu Yi Qiao leaned down to Luo Qing Ye’s ear: “I told Koko to come up in an hour.”

The moment the words left his mouth, Luo Qing Ye’s breath was taken away.

Emergency, fierceness.

As if seeking a sense of security.

Chu Yi Qiao thought, then he’d give all that security to Luo Qing Ye.

With each cry, Luo Qing Ye seemed to be robbing him of all his sanity.

Until finally, he put his arms around Luo Qing Ye’s neck and whispered in his ear:

“I think it’s truly remarkable that I can be with Luo Qing Ye in this life, and marry him.”

Luo Qing Ye: Actually, one hour isn’t enough.
