I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Ye Qingning waved her hand gently, with a hint of strength in her eyes: "It's not a big problem."

Jiang Yuzhu sat on the edge of the bed and frowned.

"Both Jingchuan and Gu Qiyang were asking me about you yesterday. They are both worried about you."

Hearing Jiang Yuzhu's words, Ye Qingning's eyes flashed with conflicting emotions.

She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her cheeks, looking a little hesitant.

Elegant paintings hang on the white walls of the hospital ward, adding a quiet atmosphere.

"Yuzhu, I know they must be worried," Ye Qingning's voice was gentle and firm, "but I don't want them to worry because of me. I will be fine."

Jiang Yuzhu carefully observed Ye Qingning's expression, understanding her strength and independence.

She gently held Ye Qingning's hand and said firmly, "Sister Qingning, you always think about others like this. But sometimes, accepting care is also a kind of courage."

Ye Qingning gently tilted her head towards the window. The sunshine there was gentle and bright, casting a strong contrast on her pale face.

"Yuzhu, I don't want them to see me like this. I don't want to be a burden to them."

The hospital ward was filled with a quiet and heavy atmosphere. Only the sound of the wind outside the window and the footsteps in the distant corridor occasionally broke the tranquility.

A bouquet of fresh flowers was placed beside Ye Qingning's bed, exuding a faint fragrance, adding a touch of life to the cold ward.

Jiang Yuzhu gently held Ye Qingning's hand and paused.

She spoke anyway.

"Sister Qing Ning, I understand your thoughts. But you will never be a burden to us, you are our best friend."

A trace of emotion flashed in Ye Qingning's eyes, and she said softly: "Thank you, Yu Zhu. I just... I just don't want them to worry."

"I will keep this secret. But you must also promise me to take good care of yourself and recover as soon as possible."

Ye Qingning nodded, smiled and rubbed the girl's hair lovingly.

"I will."

On the other side of the city, in a quiet and upscale cafe.

Lin Yeken sat in a corner seat, his eyes lingering at the entrance of the cafe, looking a little impatient.

This elegant café, known for its privacy and high-quality service, is the preferred location for many business negotiations and secret meetings.

Lin Yeken looks gentle on the outside, but his eyes reveal a cunning and shrewd look.

He is a business rival of the Pei family and has been secretly competing with the Pei family for market share.

Soon, Shen Zhuo walked into the cafe slowly, his figure looking calm and solemn.

Shen Zhuo, Shen Nian's father, is an experienced businessman known for his foresight and calmness.

His eyes froze slightly when he saw Lin Yeken, and then regained his composure.

Lin Yeken stood up and greeted Shen Zhuo with a smile: "Mr. Shen, you are finally here. Please sit down."

After Lin Yeken sat down with Shen Zhuo, he was not in a hurry to talk about the specific details of the cooperation, but first set the stage for the atmosphere.

The soft lighting inside the cafe creates a warm and peaceful environment, in stark contrast to the busy city outside.

He gently sipped the coffee in his hand, and every movement seemed elegant and thoughtful.

"Mr. Shen, you have also seen that the Pei family has been the dominant family in Linchuan for so many years." Lin Yeken's voice was low and full of hints, "But I have always believed that Mr. Shen, you have the strength and ability to surpass the Pei family."

Shen Zhuo listened expressionlessly, his eyes deep, as if he was evaluating Lin Yeken's words.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a slight sound.

"Mr. Lin, your words sound very attractive, but I am more concerned about the actual cooperation plan."

Lin Yeken nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised by Shen Zhuo's response.

He put down the coffee cup in his hand, his eyes flashing with calculation.

"Mr. Shen, what I propose is not just a simple cooperation, but a common strategy to reshape Linchuan's business landscape. Of course, this includes weakening the influence of the Pei family."

The atmosphere in the cafe became more solemn after these words.

Lin Yeken's words were full of ambition and calculation, while Shen Zhuo maintained his usual composure, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Shen Zhuo was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Mr. Lin, of course I understand the importance of competing with the Pei family. But I need to make it clear - our cooperation should be based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win, and cannot just be to fight against the Pei family. .”

The corners of Lin Yeken's mouth raised slightly, revealing a trace of satisfaction: "Mr. Shen, I understand your considerations very much. I guarantee that our cooperation will be long-term and will be of great benefit to both parties."

A flash of deep thought flashed in Shen Zhuo's eyes, and his expression became more cautious.

He knows that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in the business world, only eternal interests.

Pei Shangde's fate was a warning to him.

"Mr. Lin, I have heard about Pei Shangde." There was a hint of seriousness in Shen Zhuo's tone.

Lin Yeken's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously not expecting Shen Zhuo to mention this.

He suppressed the smile on his face and responded seriously.

"Mr. Shen, Pei Shangde's failure was not a problem with the cooperation itself, but a mistake in his own decision-making. I guarantee that our cooperation with you will be based on a more solid foundation, and we will work together to formulate strategies to avoid similar risks. "

Shen Zhuo shook his head gently, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was calm.

"Mr. Lin, of course I have my own expectations and plans for Shen's future. My goal is to make Shen's prosperous and stabilize our position in the market. As for those false reputations and excessive competition, I am not particularly pursuing it."

Lin Yeken's eyes became sharper, and he seemed to be trying to see through Shen Zhuo's true intentions.

There was a hint of inquiry in his voice: "Mr. Shen, I understand your position. But I want to know, have you really seriously considered our cooperation? After all, what we are discussing is not just daily business activities; A plan that may change the entire Linchuan business community."

In the cafe, soft jazz music flows slowly in the background, adding an extraordinary atmosphere to this business conversation.

The busy streets outside were in sharp contrast to the silence inside the cafe.

Lin Ye was willing to lean forward, his eyes sharp and deep, as if he wanted to penetrate Shen Zhuo's mind.

"Mr. Shen, I know that you are a very far-sighted businessman and you have your own plans for the future. But you also know that the business world is like a battlefield, changing all the time, and there is no permanent stability. Our cooperation can bring great benefits to Shen Stronger influence and stronger market position.”

Shen Zhuo listened quietly, with a faint smile still on his face, but the light in his eyes became sharper.

He quietly adjusted his sitting posture to appear more calm.

"Mr. Lin, I understand your intention." Shen Zhuo's voice was calm, but every word seemed to have been carefully considered, "However, what I need to ensure is not only the growth of short-term interests, but also the stability of long-term development. Cooperation, of course Important, but more importantly, maintaining Shen’s core values ​​and independence.”
