Chapter 1208: Chapter 1268

"Two billion isn’t a small sum, little brother. Besides, I’m not the boss of the company now; it’s Shi Li who calls the shots. Why don’t you go talk to Shi Li about this? If you want to talk to me, you’ll have to go through the proper channels. It’d take at least three months to get it approved, and there’s no guarantee it’d even go through." Gu Qinghe couldn’t care less about his mess.

After all, he’s not going to starve, and since he’s not going to starve, he doesn’t want to deal with it.

"Big brother, we’re blood brothers after all! Is this how you treat your own brother?" Gu Qingshan was a bit angry.

"I’m not in control either. Now I’m not the boss; it’s your son who’s setting the rules. You should go talk to him." Gu Qinghe’s face turned cold. He has no patience left for this troublesome brother.

Gu Qingshan hit a dead end here, left in anger, and considered seeing Gu Shili but felt that brat was even less likely to agree with him. Suddenly, a wave of melancholy came over Gu Qingshan. How could he, who was the pride of heaven since childhood, end up like this?

...

Gu Shili handled many affairs at the company. At noon, the secretary brought him lunch, and he started wondering what Qiao Qiqi was eating, so he called her.

Qiao Qiqi was having lunch with Jiang Meng in the cafeteria. Both had set meals, and the cafeteria’s set meals tasted pretty good. Qiao Qiqi answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Eating lunch?"

"Yeah, have you eaten?"

"About to. What are you eating?"

"Sweet and sour ribs, not as good as yours." Qiao Qiqi poked at the ribs on her plate with chopsticks.

"How about I quit my job to become your personal chef?"

"Better not. Everyone needs their own career; it’s impossible to revolve around just one person. That would lead to losing oneself." Qiao Qiqi never supported giving up one’s career for someone else. It’s a particularly irresponsible move.

"I’m willing to lose myself for you." Gu Shili sighed; he truly was a little obsessed with her. If not for the fear of scaring her or making her resent him, he’d love nothing more than to be with her all the time. But he knew she didn’t like that.

So he always restrained himself. Now, he’s fantasizing about marrying her quickly, then having a baby together, so he can focus on taking care of both her and the child.

He doesn’t have major ambitions, just wants a warm family and adorable loved ones—that’s enough for him.

"Enjoy your meal; I’m going to eat too. See you tonight." Qiao Qiqi didn’t say much more and directly hung up the phone.

Jiang Meng asked, "It’s Gu Shili from your family again. He’s really something for you. If you can marry him, you should do it quick. A good man like that won’t come around again."

"Are you advising me or yourself? I’ve heard that Gu Shilin is eager to marry you." Qiao Qiqi picked up a piece of rib, cleaned it off, and spat out the bone, enjoying her meal.

"His family treats me very well. This holiday, my parents will meet with his family. Let’s see my parents’ attitude."

"Would someone with your personality listen to your parents? I think it’s your parents listening to you." Qiao Qiqi gave her a knowing look; she probably didn’t even believe her own words.

Jiang Meng laughed, "You know me well. My parents spoil me. Whatever I want to do, they’ll support me unconditionally."
