Chapter 302

He truly lived up to his reputation as his strategist.

Since he had made up his mind, Li Xiao was impatient to implement it, wishing he could see Lin Chuqing immediately.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the news, Xu Hao also began making preparations to intercept the ice-cold female lead…

132 Everything is paving the way for Xu Hao! The ice-cold female lead falls into the trap

As expected—

Upon learning that Chu Xiaotian intended to make peace, Lin Chuqing decided to keep the appointment.

She now had Xu Hao's financial backing.

She could focus on research and development with peace of mind.

Once the company's new battery technology was developed…

…she would no longer be restricted by the Chu family in the slightest.

Because by then, they would no longer be able to restrict her.

Her company would soar like a phoenix through the Nine Heavens.

But… the technology had not yet been successfully developed.

Being constantly targeted by the Chu family, the company's goods could not be delivered to Xu Hao.

This made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Once they reconciled, she could deliver the goods openly and honestly.

She didn't want to fail Xu Hao's trust in her…

Furthermore, the feud between the two sides was somewhat ridiculous to begin with.

Lin Chuqing had never wanted to make enemies with anyone.

It was all because of a misunderstanding caused by an impulsive security guard under her employ.

Making an enemy for no reason…

…was never a good thing.

It was because Lin Chuqing genuinely wanted to reconcile that she agreed to the meeting.

The meeting was scheduled for 6:00 PM.

The location was a teahouse.

Both were decided by Li Xiao.

At 6:00 PM, it wouldn't be dark yet.

This would lower Lin Chuqing's guard.

The same went for the teahouse.

It wouldn't easily make her suspect any ill intentions…

Chu Xiaotian had originally wanted it to be later, preferably at a hotel, since a dark and windy night is perfect for getting things done.

But after hearing Li Xiao's analysis, he nodded repeatedly.

His admiration for this underling was like a torrential river, endless and overflowing.

Li Xiao was speechless.

"What are you so happy about?"

"You're just a bystander."

Chu Xiaotian didn't know what his idol was thinking.

At this moment, he was caught up in the excitement of soon winning over the beauty.

At the same time—

On Xu Hao's end, he received the message from Li Xiao informing him of the time and location.

In order to intercept the ice-cold female lead and ensure nothing went wrong, he had also made some preparations.

His biggest preparation was to hold back the protagonist, Zheng Feifan.

He didn't want to be like the villains in books.

Just when they were about to get the female lead…

…the protagonist would suddenly pop out and ruin everything.

Time passed quickly…

In the blink of an eye, it was already past 5:00 PM.

The employees of Qingtian Company began leaving work one after another.

As luck would have it,

today was Zheng Feifan's shift.

Qingtian Company was located in the city center, where crowds of people came and went.

Many people set up stalls here.

Some even set up their stalls right at the entrance of the Xu Group.

After being chased away and lectured by the security guards, the vendors behaved themselves.

They didn't dare to set up stalls at the company entrance anymore.

But today…

…an elderly couple in their sixties or seventies came to the entrance pushing a fruit cart.

They set up their stall in a grand and swaggering manner.

A megaphone on the cart was blasting:

"Fresh apples, bananas, oranges…"

Seeing this, a security guard stepped forward with a baton to chase them away.

"Uncle, Auntie, you can't set up a stall here. You'd better go somewhere else."

The auntie, who was in her sixties, squinted at him.

"I'll set up my stall wherever I want. None of your business…"

She then continued soliciting customers.

Completely ignoring the security guard's words.

The security guard's mouth twitched.

"Hey… you're setting up an illegal stall and you still think you're in the right? Believe it or not, I'll call the Chengguan?"

They had plenty of experience from chasing away vendors in the past.

Usually, just mentioning the Chengguan would make these guys run away in a dejected manner.

And they indeed had contact with the Chengguan.

Some stubborn vendors…

…wouldn't listen no matter what they said.

But once the Chengguan were called, they would behave.

In the past, calling the Chengguan worked very well.

But unfortunately, it was used on the wrong people today…

Hearing this, the white-haired Old Man…

…rushed up furiously, pointing at his nose and cursing.

"We are doing honest business! Forget about calling the Chengguan, even if you call the Emperor of Heaven, it won't do any good!"

"Fine, fine, fine, you said it…"

The guard said "fine" three times in a row.

He took out his phone and prepared to make the call.

The old auntie immediately began crying about how poor they were.

"Bullying people! We're an old couple in our sixties. Our children ran away and abandoned us. We can only sell some fruit to make a living!"

"Now we aren't even allowed to sell fruit. I don't want to live anymore…"

The security guard couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

He advised,

"It's not that we won't let you sell. We're asking you to move to another place. It's not appropriate for you to do this at the company entrance."
