541 Rats Leave A Sinking Ship (1)
"Yeah, when President Li was here, he dared not let us wait for so long. Are you trying to set a new example?"
"Or, do you have no intention to come to this meeting at all? You don't have to be reluctant!"
Anyway, Li Sicheng was already dead, and the Li Group was nothing but a framework! With a woman, what kind of achievement can it make? It was better to transfer the equity together while the company was worth some money. They could still invest in other things before losing money. It was not just one or two that had this idea.
The Li Group did not have a long history and there were eight shareholders. There were partners who had worked with Li Sicheng in the past, and some older shareholders who later joined with capital injection. Most of those who spoke were old, almost the age of Li Xiao. Instead, some young people just looked at Su Qianci silently.
Su Qianci looked at the watch and said, "If I remember correctly, the shareholders' meeting should be at two o'clock in the afternoon. I have been listening to your accusation for two minutes. It is now 14:01. In other words, I came in at 13:59. Am I late?"
"No," A young man sitting in front said, seeming about 30 years old and quite capable. Fang Chen, one of Li's largest shareholders, had supported Li Sicheng from the very beginning.
"Tut, Li Sicheng always arrived three minutes in advance!"
"Oh...so, I am not late, why did you accuse me?" Su Qianci sat down in the president's position. "My husband's habit is not my habit. You got used to my husband's habits, and now you have to get used to my habits."
An older man snorted. "What do you mean, you want to be the president of the Li Group?"
"What a joke! A woman, why should you be the Li Group's decision maker? I hope you don't ruin such a big company!"
"Hey, if that's the case, we have nothing to say. The biggest stake is in your hands. Your husband is dead, the whole Li Group is in your hands. Isn't that what you have to say?"
Su Qianci listened to these words with a cold face and sneered, "Yes, my husband is gone, and I have the final say. But my husband is not dead, please don't curse him! He just walked away temporarily. It will not take long for him to come back to take over the company. But before that, I am the final decision maker here."
When hearing this, everyone around was silent. Indeed, the death of Li Sicheng was hard to accept. Everyone looked at Su Qianci with a bit of sympathy.
"I have a bidding plan for a land block. According to estimation, I think it is very feasible. The preliminary plan is made, and the specifics need to be improved." Su Qianci let Cheng You send the plan that had just been copied.
Shareholders frowned, all of them. Obviously, they were not optimistic about this project. This is entirely in the expectation of Su Qianci. She told them her ideas and plans and observed their reactions one by one.
Finally, one of them said, "No matter what, I am not optimistic about you being the president. Instead of looking at the Li Group's loss in the hands of a woman, it is better to sell it at the market price first, or you can buy me out. How about that?"

Su Qianci looked at him. She seemed to have seen this person before. When the Li Group's investment was unsuccessful, this person escaped with public funds and was arrested later. He had been violently retaliated by Li Sicheng and spent his entire life in prison. She used to think that Li Sicheng had been too rough. Now thinking about it, her original thoughts were ridiculous!
"Cheng You."
"I'm here."
"How much share does this gentleman have?"
"8.9%."
"Who else wants me to buy him out?"
Cheng You's eyes widened, and she looked at Su Qianci. Buy out? For real? That'd be a big expense! Recently, the Li Group's stock market had plummeted, and they had lost a lot of money. If these shares were bought back, with the financial expenditure, the Li Group...
"Madam, this..."
Before she finished, someone directly said, "Although I still have feelings for the Li Group, I am not very optimistic. I quit."
"Cheng You, write this down. How much does he have?"
"3.8%"
"And me." Another man.
"9.7%"
...
Su Qianci looked at them and said, "Okay, I will buy you out at the market price, but I hope that you will consider it clearly. After this, the Li Group's glory or loss will have nothing to do with you."
Cheng You saw that she really wanted to buy back and cried anxiously, "Madam, this is not good. Our company can't afford so much money..."
"I can use my husband's private property, but these people will not be accepted by the Li Group in the future. When the company was brilliant, they were there. Now that Li Sicheng had an accident, they ran one by one. I don't need anyone so ungrateful!" Su Qianci's voice was dull, but when it came out, it went straight into the hearts of those people. Yes, weren't they being ungrateful? However, Li Sicheng was the reason behind the company's success. Since they could not change who the president would be, they'd be better off quitting now.
Although Su Qianci said that, they still did not change their minds. Su Qianci looked at their firm attitude and said with disappointment, "Contact a lawyer and draft an equity transfer agreement, Cheng You."
Su Qianci knew that it was an irrational decision at this point. However, for the next project, she knew that the Li Group could be brought back to life. Why would she let them benefit from it?
Su Qianci did not explain it to Cheng You, but asked those who were about to withdraw to leave and discussed the development of the new project with the remaining five shareholders.
"I am not optimistic about this project, but I will not quit. Mrs. Li, why should I choose this land block? The investment in the early stage is huge. If we were the old Li Group, this project would not be a problem, but recently you know what has happened. If this project is implemented, it will undoubtedly worsen the situation," Fang Chen said.
Su Qianci pursed her lips and shook her head gently. "You know why I chose here? Here is the land I am going to bid for. Here, it is a European leisure club. Because of the scope limitation, there are many things in the club that are lacking. We can use this loophole. And this place, east to Kingstown River, west to Guang City..." Su Qianci told them Liu Changqing's planning, her own addition, as well as the memory of the place in her previous lifetime.
Chapter 543 – Smooth Labor
When she was thirsty as she spoke, Cheng You handed her a glass of water in a timely manner, and listened attentively.
Li Jinnan, who had never been involved the company, was ignorant and utterly admired Su Qianci.
Three days later, Su Qianci asked Liu Changqing to make the complete plan into a PPT. During the meeting, the pros and cons of the project and the investment calculations were explained.
Su Qianci appointed herself as the president of the company, and Liu Changqing was appointed as the project director. He was solely responsible for this project, and Li Jinnan was also learning in the company.
Sure enough, Liu Changqing's ability and effectiveness far exceeded what everyone had thought.
In just two months, the original households had all been cleared and the project started.
Su Qianci had been so busy during this time that her belly was getting bigger and bigger.
With twins, Su Qianci could hardly walk in the eighth month. She simply waited for lobor at home. Many things could be taken care by Li Jinnan or Cheng You on the spot. If they couldn't handle it, it would fall to the hands of Su Qianci.
Su Qianci used to work with Li Sicheng for a while. Also she knew many things ahead of time. The Li Group had been steadily rising.
Because she had a huge belly, Su Qianci asked Shuang Yu to continue to protect her, and Captain Li called Nanny Rong to take care of her.
Li Beixing rarely went home. When he came back, he immediately looked for Su Qianci.
When Su Qianci opened the door, Li Beixing looked grim and serious. It seemed he was hesitating. He looked at her and said, "There is news of Sicheng."
Hearing these words, Su Qianci was stunned, and then she took his hands. "Really? Where is he? Is he good? Is he hurt? Why is he not back?"
A series of questions made his heart twitch.
He handed the materials to her and said, "You must be mentally prepared. His injury was very serious and went to Kingstown Third Hospital for treatment, but this person is only suspected to be him. And there is no direct evidence that can prove this person to be him."
Su Qianci took files and saw a colored photo at a glance.
The person in the photo was sitting in a wheelchair, covered in bondage and only showing a pair of eyes, his figure and the face unclear.
"The time when the person was admitted to the hospital coincided with the time of Sicheng's disappearance. They are similar in age, but he was treated as an unknown wounded person. There was a secret person who had been helping him pay for medical expenses but never showed up."
Su Qianci looked at the photo and remained still.
"After more than a month of hospitalization, he was slightly better and was discharged from the hospital. Because he had already paid for the medical expenses, the hospital did not try to keep him. I ordered people to check the surveillance footage, but I did not find the surveillance video of this person. It's like he disappeared out of thin air."
The face of Su Qianci is getting more and more pale.
Touching her belly, she frowned. Li Beixing looked at her and continued, "I don't think that he is Li Sicheng, if it is him, he will come back. At present, only this one is consistent with his condition. I am still investigating his background and whereabouts, but what is certain is Sicheng is definitely alive."
Su Qianci frowned, and held the door frame. "Big brother, it hurts..."
Li Beixing's expression changed and he shouted, "Nanny Rong! Six Sao!"
544 Amazing, My Wife Is Amazing
The fetus was only over eight months old, and Su Qianci had already been taken to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, her water broke. She constantly recalled the words of Li Beixing: Sicheng is still alive! Yes, he was definitely alive!
But why go? Why didn't he come back to see her? Even if he did not want to look at her, he should look at the children. She was going to give birth, could he know about that?
Tears dropped from Su Qianci's eyes, and the pain from her lower abdomen made her extremely uncomfortable. There was a lot of noise around, and Su Qianci's mind was blank. She didn't know when she entered the delivery room and didn't know what was going on around her. When the glare of the incandescent light hit, she saw the face she had thought of day and night.
Li Sicheng was in front of her eyes, and he smiled softly at her. Looking doting and content, he said, "It's amazing. My wife is really amazing."
Smiling, Su Qianci's tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes. When she reached out to touch his face, the face disappeared without a trace. The curvature of her lips suddenly went down. Her eyes were blurred.
"Li Sicheng, where are you? I miss you."

It was difficult to give natural birth to twins, and Su Qianci was having a Caesarean section. A boy and a girl, the whole family was happy. The boy came out a little earlier than the girl, so he was honored to be the big brother. However, due to premature birth, both children entered the infant incubators.
Looking at the rows of little babies inside, Captain Li found a sign with the name of Su Qianci at a glance. He was so happy that he could not keep his mouth shut. As for the names of the babies, after thinking about it again and again, the captain wrote: Li Jianqian, Li Jianyue.
And the nickname...
Su Qianci smiled and said that the name that Li Sicheng had, which was either serious or a joke: Dasu, Ersu. Although many people complained the names were terrible, they were given by Li Sicheng, weren't they? After lying in the hospital for a few days, Su Qianci quickly moved back to the old house to rest.
Lu Yihan had upgraded from the original male bestie to a male cook. Almost every day, he would come to the old house to make Su Qianci all kinds of food.
Li Jinnan always had a bunch of things that he couldn't understand and always ran into her room to ask her.
Su Qianci smiled and answered him, looked at him and said: "Jinnan."
Li Jinnan bit his pen, looked up and was a bit stunned. "What?"
"When I'm done resting, can you teach me to fight?"
"You want to learn?"
"Yes, and shooting."
"Why do you want to learn this? This is illegal," Li Jinnan said seriously.
"Self-defense, so I can protect myself. Later, maybe I can protect my children." Su Qianci smiled and looked at Li Jinnan, bowed her head and said, "Maybe when he comes back, I can say to him proudly: Look, without you, I can live very well."
Li Yannan stared at her for a long while, and then nodded helplessly. "Okay, wait until you finish resting."
Sending away Li Jinnan, Nanny Rong took the babies for her to breastfeed them.
Su Qianci was too thin, so she did not have much milk, which must be mixed with milk powder. She was holding Ersu, smiling as she watched her small hand grabbing at her and her mouth sucking. Her eyes fell on the wedding photo on the bedside. Su Qianci's look became softer. "Look, without you, I can live very well."
545 A Stanger WHo Had never Been Online, L
After feeding the babies and putting them to sleep, Su Qianci was very energetic. Picking up the phone, she suddenly found a message from the chat software that had not been used in a long while:
[L]: a boy and a girl, congratulations
L, this stranger who had never said anything after friending her. These few words are his first words with her.
Su Qianci replied two words: Thank you.
No response.

The project of the Xiang Xie New City was completed in the 38th month and became one of the landmarks of Kingstown due to its unique design and interior features. In the third year, it was officially opened, and it took an expensive high-end route. In less than a year, the profit was already very impressive.
In four years, Liu Changqing more and more admired that woman. Or, was more accurate to say that in the entire company, no one did not admire her.
In the Li Group, employees come and go, but Cheng You was always there. But half a month ago, her belly was getting too big for her to walk around, so she took the leave.
Kingstown Second Hospital –
Rong Rui talked to the doctor for a long time before the doctor let him in. As soon as he walked inside, he heard Cheng You's miserable screaming. He was so distressed that he ran over and took her hand.
When Cheng You saw him, she screamed and shouted, "Darling! It hurts!"
It was also hard for Rong Rui, his heart aching. Holding her hand, he kissed it and said, "Don't talk, focus. It will be okay very soon."
Cheng You gritted her teeth and cried. "I will never give birth again. So freaking uncomfortable... Ah!"
"Hey, don't cry. This is the last one." Rong Rui touched her face. His face looked distressed. "We will have no babies in the future. It turns out that it is really so painful to give birth!"
This was not the first time he saw a woman giving birth. However, the first time he saw Tang Mengying when he was disheartened, and he didn't feel anything at all.
But this time... Because it was Cheng You, Rong Rui felt a strong heartache. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't wait to take her place. God knows how long it took, Cheng You didn't have the strength to cry anymore.
Fortunately, God was very good to him. Natural labor, mother and daughter were both safe. When Rong Rui saw the baby, he smiled happily. However, he did not pay much attention to the baby, but held the hand of Cheng You and stayed with her. Cheng You didn't know how long she had slept. When she opened his eyes, she saw Rong Rui.
Rong Rui's eyes were covered with a layer of wetness. He looked at her and whispered. "It's wonderful. It's a little princess."
Cheng You saw him like this and chuckled, "Where's the baby?"
"I don't know. It was taken away by the nurse."
"What kind of father are you? You don't know where the baby went!"
"I want to be a husband, and then be a father." Rong Rui touched her face. "Are you tired?"
"Bull crap!" Cheng You snorted and suddenly burst into tears. "Exhausted."
When Rong Rui saw her crying, he panicked. "Why are you crying? You can't cry after giving birth immediately. it's not good for your eyes."
"I just feel so much pain. Do you know that when I saw you coming, I felt that I was so, so happy, Rong Rui..." Cheng You sobbed. "I still have a husband to accompany me. I felt the pain at the time, but no fear. But... but..."
Rong Rui laughed and dried her tears. "Fool..."
"But, how did Su Qianci make it? When she had the two children, she was doing a C-section. She must have been very scared, but no one around her could accompany her. She cannot even complain to anyone. No one was there, think about it..." Cheng You cried again. "Really, it was so sad."
