Chapter 81

If things continue like this, I fear the Lin Group won't be able to survive in Jing City.

"Chairman Lin, I am very busy right now. I remember telling you before that if you have matters, you should contact the business department; I cannot make decisions on these things." Zhang Tezhu appeared professionally cold, but inside, he was feeling quite gossipy.

He didn't know if his own morals and values were skewed, but why did the Lin Guanda family, instead of doting on their own biological daughter, care so much about a fake daughter?

Helping a fake daughter deal with their own biological daughter—did they not feel even a shred of guilt?

No matter how one looked at it, Lin Miao could not compare to Shu Xia.

If Shu Xia had made a request for the Lin Family to flourish when she registered her marriage and signed the agreement, the Lin Family's status in Jing City would be able to squeeze into the second-tier families by now.

Unfortunately, they were blind.

"We only want to see Qiao today. I met with Qiao at the Junhao Hotel before. I think if you tell him, he should be willing to see... us." Lin Miao was very dissatisfied with Zhang Tezhu's arrogance.

He was just an assistant by Qiao Muting's side; to put it nicely, he was an assistant, but to put it bluntly, he was just a dog.

Lin Guanda had the same intention, "I came today mainly because I want to see Qiao."

Zhang Tezhu was speechless; they couldn't just be shameless because they had thick skin, right? "Qiao is very busy; there is no time scheduled for Chairman Lin today."

After saying this, he had no more patience.

It was obvious that Shu Xia did not want to be involved with the Lin Guanda family. Since Qiao Group canceled the Lin Group's orders, the Lin Group was visibly failing in Jing City, getting worse day by day.

He had a filter for Shu Xia; she was beautiful and understood metaphysics, while the two people in front of him looked down on others, not to mention how they treated everyone else.

"If there isn't ten minutes, then how about five? I only need five minutes." Lin Guanda was getting anxious.

As a chairman of a company, everyone from top to bottom bowed and scraped to him; now, having to be humble to an assistant, this was truly hard to swallow.

However, in order to see Qiao Muting, he swallowed this bitterness.

Zhang Tezhu shook his head, "Don't talk about five minutes, there isn't even one minute."

Just as Lin Miao was about to cause trouble, the phone in Zhang Tezhu's hand rang again.

He looked down and saw it was Shu Xia.

He immediately answered, "Shu Xia."

"Zhang Tezhu, I am at the entrance of your group." Shu Xia's voice came through Zhang Tezhu's phone.

She had gone to the Laozhai in the morning, and Qiao Nainai happened to ask her to help deliver some soup.

The soup was brewed by Qiao Nainai herself when she was in good spirits that morning; it was fresh and delicious, a grandmother's sentiment for her grandson.

She happened to be passing by, so she delivered it.

Zhang Tezhu immediately headed toward the entrance, "Shu Xia, wait for me a moment."

Seeing Zhang Tezhu stride away, the father and daughter were even more embarrassed.

Leaving was not an option, and standing where they were was not an option either.

"Shu Xia?" Lin Guanda frowned. Having been close to Zhang Tezhu just now, the voice coming from the phone sounded somewhat like Shu Xia.

Lin Miao bit her lower lip, "Dad, we are now..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the main entrance, and she was stunned: "Shu Xia?"

"Xia Xia is here too?" Lin Guanda immediately looked in the direction Lin Miao was looking.

But when he looked over, Zhang Tezhu had already blocked Shu Xia from view.

"How could Shu Xia come to Qiao Group? And she even knows Zhang Tezhu?" Lin Miao frowned, whispering to herself in confusion.

"Is it really Xia Xia?" Lin Guanda walked quickly toward the outside of the building.

It had been a while since he had seen Xia Xia. Too many things had happened during this time, and now that he could see her, he had to have a good talk with her!
