Part Two: The Great Sugar of the East, Chapter 198: Lightnin

rom him.She just got home and casually turned on the TV. Her dating show was playing, coincidentally, it was a scene of her and the male guest making a cake together in the kitchen of the homestay. Fo...Across the long conference table, Zhao Tingxing's eyes locked with Han Li's. The flames in his eyes burned fiercely, as if they could reduce her to ashes. 。However, his fire met Hanli's ice, and it only lasted for a fleeting moment. 。

Han Li's heart was as calm as still water at this moment, diligently working on his career. Ever since that incident at the hotel, he could quickly detach himself and walk away in such a situation, showing his indifference towards her. He wasn't even like a bed partner. >>> 。She wanted a man who wouldn't beg and wouldn't rely on men for handouts. 。Since you can't sleep, let's think of something else. 。Zhao Tingxing seeing her attitude, also softened a bit: “What kind of person is Gu Ruandong, you should be clear” 。What can you help him get Don't end up being chewed to the bone. 。"

Han Li: “Don't worry about my affairs.” 。"For the sake of our past, I advise you not to play with fire, or you'll end up burned. " 。"Han Li remained unmoved: "I understand this as you caring about me If it's truly concern, then thank you." 。For a moment, the atmosphere worsened again. 。This time, Hanli spoke first: "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. Thank you for your concern." 。Seeing Zhao Tingxing didn't move, she turned back: "Don't worry, I won't go to bed with you in the future, just consider us ordinary friends." 。"That, Zhao Tingxing sounded so awkward whenever he spoke it. It was like he was afraid of something." 。But the man rose and walked beside her. 。Although she dressed more formally and conservatively than before, the faint scent of perfume on her remained. 。

A kind of white cedar-musk fragrance that feels refreshing and cool in the hot summer. 。As she moved, the faint scent drifted into his nose. 。Zhaotingxing scoffed, "Humph, a woman, she really did use some underhanded tricks. This fragrance to him was like an aphrodisiac. Under the bright sun, he wanted to crush her." 。

Make her scream his name as "daddy"> 。But the restaurant Han Li took him to was bustling with people. It was lunchtime, and office workers from nearby buildings were all coming down for their meals. The noise instantly cooled the romantic thoughts he had just had. 。acting like a big shot, he found a relatively deserted corner by the window and sat down. 。

Han Li lowered his head to scan the code and order, no need to ask him what he wanted to eat because his preferences were well known. 。The bustling sounds next door were very annoying, and he had a bad temper to begin with. He hadn't eaten in this type of restaurant for many years, so after sitting for a while, he became impatient. 。"Just make do, at this time, all the restaurants around are bustling." 。"Han Li finished ordering and advised him to stay calm." 。"On purpose"

"No" 。You don't usually say that. We were all born into poverty, stop pretending! This restaurant is way better than the big pot meals we used to have at the construction site. 。"Han Li said " 。I worked hard to earn money, not to live a poor life again. 。"So today, Zhao Zong is reminiscing about the past hardships. " 。 。Zhao Tingxing had nothing to say, and he wasn't truly at his wit's end. He could eat at even the dirtiest and most rundown restaurants. It was just that his mood was a bit irritable today. 。After the food arrived, the two ate for a while, and Han Li took the initiative to speak: "Gu Ruandong went to accompany his wife filming, he should not be back for a while. Instead of focusing your energy on him, why don't you think about it, can you really swallow the Senbing Group" 。He snorted coldly and didn't speak. He always believed that man could conquer heaven, how would he know if he didn't try Han Li also fell silent and stopped talking. 。。Of course, it's not your fault. After all, you grew up in a different circle and have always been far away in the southwest. 。"

Zhao Tingxing didn't know what she was talking about, going on and on. " 。The restaurant was still bustling with activity, many patrons walking around, some even seen finishing their meals. Those who had come early to wait for a table were also scared away by a glare from Zhao Tingxing. 。"What do you want to say" he asked. 。"I said, you've been wrong from the start, your direction is off." 。On the surface, Minister Liao seems to have absolute power over the Senbing Group. But think about it, what does the Senbing Group do Who does it supply to Who truly controls the lifeblood of the Senbing Group 。"Han Li stopped himself there, because there were many intricate relationships involved, far too complex for a single family to control life and death." 。Coming out of the restaurant, the midday sun was scorching, making Han Li squint. Zhao Ting said, "I'll treat you to tea." 。He had to admit, Han Li was never just a pretty face. 。Although her words cannot be fully trusted, they offer some insight. 。Han Li didn't refuse and went with him to the teahouse. 。He didn't bring his driver today, he drove himself. He looked gloomy the whole way, probably thinking about what she had said earlier. 。The car wound its way, leaving the main road and onto an auxiliary road, then drove into a small alleyway from there. 。Han Li's heart pounded. This alley, the hutong at its deepest end, was Yi's home. She wasn't ready for him to be recognized by Han Zhao Yi yet. 。Fortunately, at the second intersection, he stopped and led her inside. It was a courtyard house with four walls surrounding an inner space. On the left side of the gate hung a wooden plaque with the words "tea house" written in archaic script, discreetly hidden among the intricate designs. 。The main gate is unassuming, but inside lies a hidden paradise. It's a Suzhou-style garden in the Jiangnan water town style, with pavilions, platforms, and towers, as well as koi fish and lotus leaves, offering a new scene at every step. 。Zhao Tingxing seemed to be a regular here, taking her straight to a pavilion where they could see the entire courtyard. At noon, the scorching sun seemed to have forgotten this corner, leaving only a gentle breeze. In the summer afternoon, it was very pleasant. 。The two of them were lost in their own thoughts. After a long time, Zhao Tingxing suddenly said three or two words: "Is it the Song family"

Han Li looked up at him, neither admitting nor denying, because this was also her own speculation. Gu Ruandong certainly wouldn't tell her everything. 。Zhao Tingxing is not a question, but a statement. 。Since he wanted to get the Senbing Group, he certainly wouldn't fight unprepared. He was very clear about the previous struggles between the various departments in Beijing. 。But the Song family, has always been extremely low-key. So low-key that it's easy to overlook their existence. However, what no one expected is that the real power behind the scenes belongs to the Song family. 。It may seem like just a coalition of forces, but each faction uses this alliance to serve their own interests. They temporarily maintain a balance by doing so, and the fulcrum of their equilibrium is Gu Ruandong. 。It's no wonder he chose to seek solitude and went straight to the southwest. 。Zhao Tingxing quickly weighed the various factions within the Senbing Group in his mind, and found that the only one he could possibly win over was Minister Liao. 。He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he forgot Han Li was even sitting across from him. It wasn't until nightfall, and Han Li stood up to leave, that he realized it. 。Where do you live I'll take you home. 。 Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!icant lethality cannot be fully utilized here. Close-quarters combat remains the primary method. 。The entire canyon echoed with the sounds of gunfire, artillery fire, and roars, reverberating for a lo...
