Chapter 214: Walking in the yard with hands behind his back
Su Ming walked into the living room and saw Qin Huairu's mother, Qin Mu, sitting on the sofa, her face still cold. Su Ming nodded to her, expressed his greetings, and then sat down.
Qin Huairu sat opposite him, with her arms folded across her chest, looking very defensive. "Su Ming, what do you want to say?"
Su Ming took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Huai Ru, I know you have many misunderstandings about me. But I hope you can listen to my explanation."
Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly, waiting for his next words.
Su Ming continued, "A lot of things happened during this period. I was busy with the project and didn't consider your feelings. I admit that I was negligent, but I have never done anything bad to you."
Qin Huairu's eyes wavered after hearing this, but she quickly returned to her indifference. "Su Ming, your explanation sounds very high-sounding, but the fact is that you have never really cared about me."
Su Ming felt a pang of pain when he heard this, but he did not give up. "Huai Ru, I have always cared about you, but my method may not be right. I hope you can give me a chance to make up for my previous mistakes."
Qin Huairu was silent for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she finally shook her head. "Su Ming, some things can't be solved with just an apology. I need time to calm down."
Su Ming looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness and pain, but he knew that any more explanations would be futile at this moment. "Huai Ru, I respect your decision. If you need time, I will wait for you. But I hope you know that I have never given up on our relationship."
Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but just lowered her head, tears flashing in her eyes.
Su Ming stood up, walked in front of her, and gently held her hand, with a hint of pleading in his tone. "Huai Ru, please believe me, I will always be here, waiting for you."
Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Su Ming, her eyes full of complicated emotions. She finally said nothing, but just nodded slightly.
Su Ming let go of her hand, looked at her deeply, and then turned and left the Qin family's gate. He knew that the matter was not completely resolved, but at least there was a glimmer of hope.
Back in the office, Su Ming continued to work on the project. He knew that in addition to emotional issues, he had more important things to do, which was to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
That day, Su Ming was busy in the office when he suddenly received a call. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Mr. Zhao.
"Mr. Su, there is something I need to discuss with you." There was a hint of urgency in Mr. Zhao's tone.
Su Ming immediately put down the work in his hands and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what's the matter?"
Mr. Zhao said in a deep voice: "We have recently received some negative news about your project, which has affected the reputation of our tea house. I hope you can come over and talk to us in detail."
Su Ming's heart tightened. He knew that this was an important issue and had to be dealt with immediately. "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll be right over."
Su Ming quickly rushed to the tea house, and Mr. Zhao was waiting for him in the office. Seeing Su Ming, Mr. Zhao looked solemn and went straight to the point: "Mr. Su, the negative news about your project has had a great impact recently, and our tea house has also been affected. You must deal with this problem as soon as possible."
Su Ming nodded to show his understanding. "Mr. Zhao, I will immediately investigate the source of this negative news and resolve it as soon as possible."
Mr. Zhao sighed and patted Su Ming on the shoulder. "Young Master Su, I believe in your ability, but this matter is very serious. I hope you can solve it as soon as possible."
After Su Ming left the teahouse, he immediately called a team meeting to discuss countermeasures. In the meeting room, everyone sat together, the atmosphere was tense, and everyone's face was full of worry.
Ran Qiuye spoke first: "Brother Su, we have found out that these negative news were deliberately spread by someone in order to destroy our project."
Liu Guangtian also said: "Yes, Brother Su, this matter is very serious. If it is not dealt with quickly, the consequences will be disastrous."
Su Ming pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "Everyone, we must take this matter seriously. Qiu Ye, you continue to investigate the source of this news, Guang Tian, you are responsible for external public relations and quell these negative impacts as soon as possible."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and immediately started to take action.
Ran Qiuye led the team to conduct a comprehensive investigation. Through various channels, they finally found out that the mastermind behind the negative news was the second uncle. For his own benefit, the second uncle did not hesitate to spread rumors and sabotage Su Ming's project.
After Su Ming learned the truth, his heart was filled with anger and disappointment, but he knew that now was not the time to be angry. Instead, he had to deal with it calmly and find a solution to the problem.
Su Ming decided to go to the second uncle again and confront him face to face. He knew that only in this way could the problem be completely solved and the smooth progress of the project be ensured.
Su Ming walked up to the Second Uncle and said in a deep voice, "Second Uncle, we need to talk."
The second uncle raised his head, a trace of disdain and indifference flashed in his eyes. He put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Su Ming, what's the matter with you coming here so late?"
Su Ming stood up straight, his eyes firm: "Second Uncle, I know that you spread the recent negative news. Why did you do this?"
The second uncle sneered, stood up, and paced in the yard with his hands behind his back. "Su Ming, you are too naive. You young people think you can change everything at will, but you don't understand the complexity here at all."
Su Ming took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Second Uncle, we are not here to change everything, we are here to solve problems. We hope that through this project, everyone's life will become better."
The second uncle stopped and turned to look at Su Ming, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Solve the problem? What problem can your project solve? You are only doing it for your own benefit."
Su Ming was not angered by Second Uncle's attitude. He continued, "Second Uncle, our project is not only for ourselves, but also for the entire community. We hope to bring a better living environment to everyone."
The second uncle was silent for a moment, his eyes wavered, but he soon returned to his indifference. "Su Ming, I don't care whether your project can succeed or not. But I can't tolerate you destroying the peace here."
Su Ming looked at the Second Uncle and said more firmly: "Second Uncle, the peace you want can only be achieved after everyone's life is stable. We have the confidence and ability to make this project a blessing for everyone. Please trust us once."
