In the office, Su Bingqing looked troubled. With the advantage of her rebirth, she should have been able to develop the Su Corporation to a level comparable to the Lu Corporation and the former Zhang Corporation in a short time. Whether it was the stock market or future directions for growth, she had a considerable understanding and could have taken the lead.

However, all these advantages assumed there was no one contesting Su Corporation.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect of her rebirth, Lu Li had given up pursuing Zhang Ziqin early on, and Zhang Ziqin also quickly realized her feelings for Lu Li. The tangled fate that once existed between them had now shifted direction.

Freed from Zhang Ziqin’s clutches, Lu Li thrived like a fish in water, leaping over the dragon’s gate. The former Lu Ya had been disowned by the Lu family, her whereabouts unknown, and Lu Li now controlled everything in the Lu Corporation. His capabilities were fully demonstrated under the sunlight.

Facing Zhao Corporation with overwhelming power, ingeniously dealing with Zhang Ziqin and the Zhang Corporation in business wars, he altered Hangzhou’s commercial landscape, making the Lu Corporation supremely dominant.

Zhang Ziqin, Su Bingqing’s close friend, was undoubtedly trusted for her business acumen, but she had been utterly defeated in Lu Li’s battle, her former prestige reduced to history.

Though there might have been some oversight on Zhang Ziqin’s part, a loss was a loss, and people wouldn’t care about the reasons.

The fact was, Zhang Corporation went bankrupt and became history.

Su Bingqing had hoped to first develop Su Corporation and then take over its control, potentially assisting Lu Li in his fight against Ye Chen without being a burden.

Looking back, her initial thoughts seemed naively ridiculous. Lu Li had never needed her help. Like the sun shining brightly, the stars would merge indistinguishably with the bright sky under its brilliance.

She was merely a star, and Lu Li never needed her protection…

She smiled bitterly at the thought.

Knock, knock!

The sound of knocking broke her train of thought, and Su Bingqing slightly adjusted her expression before saying, “Come in.”

Zhang Ziqin, still in her professional attire, entered with a worried look: “Lu Corporation still hasn’t agreed to negotiate. The call was vague.”

“I know,” Su Bingqing lifted her head, offering a faint smile. She could see Lu Li’s intentions but felt powerless to stop it.

Zhang Ziqin hesitated, biting her lip, “Is it… because of me? Because he knows I’m here, Lu Li is doing this? Should I leave?”

She didn’t want to bring trouble to the Su family because of herself.

Su Bingqing sighed deeply, “It’s not because of you. It’s not just Su Corporation; Liushimeng’s Liu Corporation is also under attack by Lu Corporation!”

Zhang Ziqin felt a pang of disappointment. She had even hoped Lu Li was targeting Su Corporation because of her, which would mean he still harbored feelings for her, even if it was just hatred…

Not even deliberately targeting her anymore, did it mean she had become as irrelevant to Lu Li as a stranger seen only a few times?

“We have no choice. If Su Corporation continues to resist, it’ll only lead to a broken capital chain and inevitable bankruptcy. I think my parents must have already made a decision,” Su Bingqing said with a sigh.

Although Su Corporation hadn’t gone bankrupt like Zhang Corporation, it was now reduced to a vassal of Lu Corporation, perhaps a somewhat better outcome.

Even if she managed to develop Su Corporation, it would at best reach the former scale of Lu Corporation, let alone help Lu Li or kill Ye Chen. It would likely only hold Lu Li back.

Looking at Zhang Ziqin, Su Bingqing felt a mix of satisfaction and pity, “Ziqin, it seems we might have to work for Lu Corporation and serve Lu Li.”

Zhang Ziqin looked up, her eyes glistening with tears before dropping again, “He won’t want to see me.”

“The same, I won’t give up either. Even if we are worlds apart now, I still want to try to bring Lu Li back to my side. One day, when Lu Li sees my change, he’ll accept me again,” Zhang Ziqin comforted herself.

This belief was her greatest conviction. In her previous life, she was dragged down by Zhang Corporation, ignoring the man who had always been behind her, loving her. This life, Lu Li had already helped her remove her biggest obstacle.

Su Bingqing remained silent.

Fairly speaking, Lu Li’s approach was normal, not just because of past events but because Zhang Ziqin had done even more excessive things in her previous life. Even if Su Bingqing didn’t like Lu Li back then, she thought her friend’s actions were too much.

Even if you don’t love someone, you can at least not harm them, right?

And why torment him when you clearly love Lu Li?

But…

Sighing helplessly, Su Bingqing couldn’t bear to see Zhang Ziqin so dejected after losing Lu Li.

Why didn’t she cherish him when she had the chance? He loved you so much!

If Lu Li hadn’t given up on Zhang Ziqin early this life, would the tragedy of her previous life repeat? Probably, because Zhang Ziqin only valued something after losing it.

“You can go as my secretary. I think Lu Li won’t object,” Su Bingqing was willing to give Zhang Ziqin this chance, understanding her sister’s longing somewhat.

But this didn’t mean she had given up; she was ready for a fair competition with Zhang Ziqin.

“Thank you, Bingqing.”

Zhang Ziqin felt warmth in her heart. Her status didn’t matter; being near Lu Li was enough.

…

At the residence where Cao Yingying’s grandfather lived, Lu Li began testing the old man’s leg reactions after another acupuncture session.

“Grandfather, how does it feel? Any pain?” Using a medical hammer, Lu Li tapped lightly.

“A little, but not distinct,” Cao Yingying’s grandfather struggled to remain composed, feeling his legs gradually regaining sensation.

Lu Li nodded, “And here?”

He tapped below the knee.

“It moved, it moved,” Cao Yingying cheered, rarely showing such girlish excitement. She had seen her grandfather’s legs reflexively lift.

The old man felt it too, his face brightening.

Lu Li remained serious, “It seems I underestimated before.”

Cao Yingying’s grandfather tensed.

Cao Yingying looked at Lu Li in shock, “Is there a problem? That shouldn’t be; in the previous life, without Lu Li’s intervention, grandfather was cured.”

“Lu family kid… is there something special?” Cao Yingying’s grandfather asked, trying to contain his panic.

“Yes,” Lu Li nodded.

With both looking on, he suddenly smiled, “Last time I said it might take three more months for complete recovery. I was wrong. It’s been less than a month, and the old man should be able to try walking in another week.”
