Chapter 1471: Sister Has Learned Bad Habits

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Xin'ai stared at that person's figure until he returned to his room.

Bang—

The sound of the door closing rang out, making both Liu Xin'ai and Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulders flinch.

Xu Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and made a suggestion to Liu Xin'ai: "When you have time, go help your precious younger brother first."

Liu Xin'ai continued to look at Liu Qingze's room.

These past few days, she had indeed been quite neglectful of her younger brother.

Liu Xin'ai sighed softly, preparing to go find Liu Qingze in a while to have a chat.

Xu Xiaoxiao saw the worry in the depths of Liu Xin'ai's eyes, so she did not stay long.

And as soon as she left, Liu Xin'ai took a dessert and knocked on Liu Qingze's door.

"From a psychological perspective, desserts can make people feel happy; I think you really need this right now."

Liu Qingze had no expression on his face, and he said in a muffled voice: "Put it there, I'll eat it in a while."

"How long is 'a while'? An hour later, or two hours?"

"Very soon."

"Then let's do it now."

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, she crossed her arms, striking a pose that she wouldn't leave until Liu Qingze finished eating everything.

But Liu Qingze really didn't want to eat at this moment, so he stared at Liu Xin'ai helplessly.

Liu Xin'ai could feel the exhaustion and heavy-heartedness in Liu Qingze's eyes.

This made Liu Xin'ai feel very sorry for her younger brother; she raised her hand to pat his shoulder and sighed: "After coming home, just relax a little."

"I want to, too."

"But you can't?"

Liu Qingze did not respond, which counted as tacitly agreeing with his sister's words.

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is the company running into trouble?"

"It's not exactly trouble, it's just some clowns making trouble."

Liu Qingze was a very sunny and cheerful person; for him to be so depressed,

it was clear that the situation was definitely not as relaxed as he described.

Regarding company matters, Liu Xin'ai was truly unable to help.

She could only suggest: "Do you want Qin Yiyan to help you?"

But Liu Qingze refused without even thinking: "I can't just look for help whenever something goes wrong; I have to learn to solve it myself!"

Her younger brother's reply made Liu Xin'ai nod gently, and she remarked with emotion: "That you can think this way shows you have already matured a little bit."

"Only a little bit?"

"That's right, truly mature people wouldn't refuse other people's help."

Liu Qingze wanted to retort, but after hesitating for a moment, he sighed heavily instead.

Then he asked: "Sister, have I become a burden to our family?"

"How could that be? You are the pride of the family."

Liu Qingze gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said: "Don't comfort me; if Dad were here, he would definitely have managed the company in an orderly fashion."

"You have already done very well; if someone else came, they might not necessarily reach your current level. Those people attacking you definitely have ill intentions. If you feel sad and self-doubting because of this, that is exactly falling into their trap."

Liu Xin'ai had already guessed that someone must have said something to Liu Qingze to make him develop self-doubt.

And at this moment, what Liu Xin'ai needed to do was to let Liu Qingze feel the support coming from his family.

Liu Qingze did indeed feel the warmth.

But in his heart, he still felt a sense of injustice, murmuring: "But in terms of work, one still has to let results do the talking."

"Then put the results out there. Has the company's performance regressed?"

"It hasn't, but the company's management can't keep up with the company's growth. I've been trying hard to adjust, but..."

Liu Qingze sighed powerlessly,

and then irritably ruffled his hair.

Liu Xin'ai patiently smoothed out the hair Liu Qingze had messed up.

Then she said: "Adjusting requires a process; it's impossible to achieve it overnight. You have to give yourself some time. As for the voices of opposition, if you feel they have merit, then listen to them; if they are baseless, then just treat it as if they are... passing gas!"

Liu Xin'ai felt the last two words were not very elegant, so she changed the term.

But Liu Qingze had already guessed what his sister wanted to say.

This left him looking shocked!

His sister was always very intellectual and elegant; in the past, no matter how angry she was, she would never say vulgar things.

Now, just from chatting casually, she almost...

She wouldn't have been infected by Qin Yiyan, would she!?

Liu Qingze hesitated for a moment, then warned with a serious face: "Don't learn those vulgar things!"

When he said this, he was dead serious.

Liu Xin'ai watched him and couldn't help but smile.

His sister's smile made Liu Qingze frown, and he questioned: "What are you laughing at? Do you think what I said is unreliable?"

Liu Xin'ai waved her hands repeatedly, tried hard to put away the smile on her face, and said: "I just think that in the company, if you use this kind of attitude to deal with those people looking for trouble, it will definitely be effective."

Liu Qingze was young after all, and usually hot-headed; he might not be able to suppress those old foxes.

But if he could put on that old-fashioned expression from just now...

Then at the very least, those wanting to find trouble wouldn't be able to figure out what he was thinking.

When doing things and speaking, one naturally has to have a few more reservations.

Liu Qingze did not know his sister's painstaking efforts and only thought she was joking with him, so he immediately frowned: "Sister, I am talking to you seriously!"

"I am also speaking seriously."

"Think about it, if they are serious, you be even more serious than them; if they are unreasonable and pestering, you find the loopholes to counterattack; if they make things up out of thin air, then you pretend not to understand. In the end, it will be others who are so angry they jump up and down, while you remain lighthearted and carefree!"

Liu Qingze followed his sister's description and imagined it for a moment...

It felt like it would be very satisfying!

But the next second, Liu Qingze shook his head and said to Liu Xin'ai with a serious face again: "Who did you learn these things from?"

"Does this need to be learned? Your sister is already working; I naturally understand the ways of the world."

"But you didn't understand these things at all before, you were completely focused on your work!"

"I didn't need to back then."

"Then do you need to now?"

"Mm, because I need to counsel you."

Liu Qingze turned his head to the side and said stubbornly: "I don't need counseling either, I was just venting."

Looking at his awkward appearance, Liu Xin'ai smiled.

She knew Liu Qingze cared about his pride, so she did not expose him, only saying: "My work is very dull, so even if it's venting, I want to listen, and I also really want to hear the follow-up, for example, how you counter those who want to find trouble for you."

Liu Qingze hesitated for a moment, and he asked: "Do you really like hearing these?"

"Yes, it's very interesting, and I'm looking forward to it. By the way, if you need to, you can also have Qin Yiyan teach you a few tricks; he is very good at being sarcastic."

"That doesn't need teaching, I can do it too!"

"Then bring out your skills and make those ill-intentioned guys afraid the moment they see you!"

"Mm, don't worry, Sister!"

At this moment, Liu Qingze suddenly felt that things were not so difficult to resolve after all.

Moreover, with his sister's anticipation, he couldn't wait to cross swords with those petty people!

This sense of

eagerness to try also made him no longer annoyed, but instead full of fighting spirit.
