Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”In a little while, once the City Lord Mansion announces the planned route for the subway in the southern city, it won’t be easy to get this project.”

After speaking, Xiahou Zuiyue returned to the banquet hall of the party.

President Li stood by the coffee table, pondering for a moment. He suddenly took out his phone and called his most trusted business partner.

”Old Zhang, I got some information about Longhu Shuilan from Mr. Xiahou. From what he said, the municipality will be constructing a subway under Longhu Shuilan, and by then, they’ll definitely uncover the bodies of those two unlucky souls. It seems like he’s also interested in finding someone to partner with for investment.”

”What do you think, should we invest?”

It’s unknown how the other party responded, but by the time he hung up, President Li’s brows were furrowed.

President Li returned alone to the banquet hall, found his female companion, and was about to leave when a man suddenly blocked his path.

Xu Zeqing proactively extended his right hand to President Li, smiling as he said, ”Long time no see, Brother Li.”

President Li gazed inscrutably at Xu Zeqing.

Xu Zeqing.

Many years ago, Xu Zeqing, in an attempt to curry favor, often invited him to play golf and go fishing at the holiday resort.

Later, when his daily chemical company was on the brink of bankruptcy, Xu Zeqing brought many expensive gifts to his home, hoping to seek his help.

However, President Li had already heard that the person targeting Qinglang Daily Chemical Company from behind wasn’t anyone else but Jiang Heng, the richest man’s son in West Continent City.

President Li hadn’t even had enough time to ingratiate himself with Jiang Heng, so how could he dare to offend Jiang Heng?

Therefore, he resolutely refused to help Xu Zeqing.

Later, Xu Zeqing somehow learned from somewhere about the old story where he, during his university days, had pursued Mo Yinshu, only to be heartlessly rejected by her.

One evening, Xu Zeqing found him and actually told him that he was willing to offer Mo Yinshu for him to enjoy.

How would he offer?

How would he enjoy?

They were both old foxes who had been navigating the business world for many years, and they both understood implicitly.

Mo Yinshu was the first woman who made President Li’s heart flutter.

The first time he confessed to a woman, he was ruthlessly rejected. President Li no longer loved Mo Yinshu, but men always have a thing for what they can’t have.

He agreed to Xu Zeqing’s conditions.

But he didn’t expect that woman, Mo Yinshu, to be as fierce as ever.

To steadfastly hold onto her principles, she broke a wine bottle and, at any cost, stabbed his chest before leaping out of the window from the second floor of the banquet hall.

The next day, when he woke up in the hospital, he heard news about Mo Yinshu having crashed into a river while driving under the influence.

Since then, he hadn’t seen Xu Zeqing again.

However, news related to Xu Zeqing always trickled into President Li’s ears intermittently.

The first thing he heard was that Xu Zeqing had married a woman who owned a beauty salon. It was said that the woman had quite an allure and had raised two children on her own.

At that time, these executives privately talked about Xu Zeqing, saying he was truly ruthless. His first wife had just died, and while his daughter was still lying in the hospital unconscious, he married a new love.

Although they too were people driven by profit and fickle in relationships, they would at least maintain outward appearances.

For someone like Xu Zeqing, born into a scholarly family and seemingly refined and handsome, to do something so condemnable created a stark contrast and seemed both unfeeling and unjust.

A while ago, when they heard that his stepdaughter was dating Chu Zimu, some considered the idea of partnering with him.

But when they thought about how cold-blooded he was to his late wife and biological daughter, who could guarantee that he wouldn’t betray a partner and stab them in the back?

Thus, no one dared to really engage with him.

Not until a few days ago, when Chu Zimu proposed to You Mingyue, and she genuinely gained the approval of Chairman Chu and his wife, did they finally dare to risk forming ties with Xu Zeqing.

Even if Xu Zeqing makes a loss in business in the future, Chu Zimu wouldn’t stand by and watch his father-in-law fall into trouble.

With the support of the Chu Family, they finally had the confidence to associate with Xu Zeqing.

President Li covertly glanced at the alluring and curvaceous middle-aged woman standing beside Xu Zeqing, displaying a coquettish demeanor.

Xu Zeqing’s new wife was entirely different from Mo Yinshu.

Mo Yinshu could stir a man’s desire to conquer, while this woman could incite a man’s lust.

President Li shook hands with Xu Zeqing briefly then parted. He said, ”Mr. Xu’s wife is truly beautiful and charming; no wonder she captivated Mr. Xu.”

Upon hearing this, You Jingqiu instinctively straightened her back, accentuating her cleavage even more.
