Chapter 1097: The only way

The current Li Group is like a mess.

Due to the negative fallout from Li Xiao's engagement party, various departments and fields of the entire company have encountered problems of all sizes.

Sales of the entire product line have plummeted, and many projects under negotiation have been terminated by partners for various reasons due to risk assessment.

Stock prices have fallen straight down, and the market value of the Li Group has evaporated by an astronomical figure in a short period of time.

The current Li Group is like a dangerous building standing in the wind and rain, with the risk of collapsing at any time.

In the Artificial Intelligence Department, just as Li Xiao stepped into the door, he was greeted by a barrage of negative complaints from Manager Liang.

It couldn't get around those things. The ability of the department's chief engineer, Liu Chang, was completely insufficient to convince the public. Even the employees of the original company weren't convinced, let alone these foreign-introduced talent teams.

But Li Xiao had already told his father about this, and his father had also explained the reason. Now, Liu Chang couldn't be moved.

He listened until his head was big, and quickly called a stop to Manager Liang's complaints: "Manager Liang, the department was already in deep water before you came. I hired you at a high salary to put out the fire, not to add fuel to the fire."

"The group now needs you to develop products that are superior to the market. You should put your minds on product development now, instead of complaining about these things every day. If product development is successful, you will have everything you want. Now that there are no results, what's the use of saying anything, no matter how flowery it is?"

Manager Liang frowned, hearing the key point in the words: "Products superior to the market?"

"Yes!" Li Xiao nodded: "Because our group has no sales advantage for products that are currently on par with the market. The sales of products on the market have already fallen below the floor. We must develop better products!"

And the reason for this situation was entirely due to the negative fallout from the engagement party.

The Li Group's products were boycotted by the market and consumers, and no one was buying them at all.

At this time, Li Wanchang's assistant walked over quickly and whispered a few words into Li Xiao's ear.

Li Xiao frowned: "What is he here for?"

"Don't know. The chairman isn't here, why don't you go up and take a look?"

Li Xiao sighed and ignored Manager Liang and the others. He had too many worries now and didn't have the extra energy to deal with Manager Liang and them.

Mainly, he couldn't meet the conditions Manager Liang proposed.

All the way to the meeting room on the top floor, Qiu Chu sat on the sofa with a chill.

Li Xiao pushed the door and entered. Facing Qiu Chu, he was a little afraid in his heart.

"Uncle Qiu."

Hearing the sound, Qiu Chu raised his head, subconsciously glanced behind Li Xiao, and asked with a dark face: "Where's your dad?"

Li Xiao turned around to close the door, stood opposite Qiu Chu, and said truthfully: "My dad had a heart attack and is hospitalized. Do, do you have something to find him for?"

Once Qiu Chu heard this, he sighed deeply.

He didn't know what happened after that day, but he wouldn't forgive the Li family's actions.

He neatly took out a card and slapped it on the table: "This was given to Keying by your parents back then. Since the marriage is off, we won't want this money. You take it back."

Li Xiao looked at the card, knowing that the number on it was not small.

He and Qiu Keying definitely had no chance, so of course, he wanted to take this money back.

But thinking was thinking, on the surface, he still had to appear a bit guilty: "Uncle Qiu, this matter was my mistake. I'm sorry to Keying. Although I was kept in the dark, the harm caused to Keying is real. Let this money be compensation for Keying! You take it!"

"Hmph." Qiu Chu sneered, not buying his act at all: "If I really accepted it, I'm afraid someone would feel heartache."

Qiu Chu had been in the business world for so many years; how could Li Xiao's fake act escape his eyes?

He stood up, staring at Li Xiao with eyes like frost: "You kid, I was careless before and didn't think of you as a bad person subjectively. Now that your Li Group has been hit hard because of this storm, I'm not someone who kicks someone when they're down. Keying and you have nothing to do with each other from now on. Think of a way to clean up the mess in your group."

After saying this, Qiu Chu flicked his hand and left without looking back.

Li Xiao didn't refute, taking it all in, and only after hearing the sound of the door closing did he bend down to pick up the card.

This card was the last connection between the Li and Qiu families, and now the relationship between the two families was completely over.

In the hospital.

Mrs. Li didn't even go home and rushed to the hospital in a rage.

As soon as the door was pushed, it seemed like she brought the wind in.

As soon as Li Wanchang saw her posture, he knew the talk had collapsed.

"What's wrong?" he asked patiently.

Mrs. Li walked to the hospital bed and shouted in a high voice: "It's really funny, this little bitch actually still wants to marry Xiao Zai?"

Li Wanchang listened, but his reaction didn't have much obvious fluctuation.

Mrs. Li was in a fit of anger, indignantly saying: "She caused such big trouble for Xiao Zai and the group, and she still has the face to want to marry Xiao Zai? Bah! Dream on, don't even think about it!"

"Did you see the child?" Li Wanchang didn't pick up her words, but asked about the child.

Thinking of the child, Mrs. Li's face clearly collapsed, and disappointment surged in her eyes: "No, she didn't bring the child."

Saying this, she suddenly reacted, looking at Li Wanchang in shock: "Husband, did you hear what I said? She wants to marry Xiao Zai!"

"I heard." Li Wanchang replied plainly.

Mrs. Li was even more shocked: "Then why don't you have any reaction? Do you think she's crazy? Does she have delusions?"

The result was that Li Wanchang showed a knowing expression, and his tone was even more knowing: "I guessed it."

"You…"

Mrs. Li was speechless.

Li Wanchang continued: "She made such a big stir with such a big movement, putting all the pressure on us and the Li Group. What is it for?"

"If she wanted money, she could have talked to us privately."

"Then besides money, it's Xiao Zai. Now everyone is paying attention to how this matter will end. A woman who was pregnant and abandoned by Xiao Zai, a child left outside, and the group has also become a mess because of this matter."

"She made such a big battle, just to use the power of public opinion to force Xiao Zai to marry her."

Mrs. Li widened her eyes in shock, because she hadn't considered this layer at all.

This Lin Biqi, did she have this plan from the beginning?

"Husband, what should we do then? Can't let her get her wish, right? How can such a person marry Xiao Zai?" Mrs. Li expressed her firm attitude: "I absolutely don't agree!"

Li Wanchang looked at his wife and sighed: "It's not up to you to agree or not, nor is it up to me. To stabilize the current situation, letting Xiao Zai marry her is the only way. Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter won't end, and it might even get bigger and bigger."

By then, the company might not be able to hold on.
