Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1052 - 1051: Forced Compromise

At this moment, Suzhou was filled with too much regret, but there was no way around it; after all, things had developed to this point.

The only solution now is to go find Xu Ke and ask him to supply the production chain. That way, there’s a chance the company can be saved.

But could he, as the dignified CEO of the Su Group, swallow his pride and beg Xu Ke?

The man’s lonely silhouette in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window makes one feel a sudden pang of sympathy.

Suzhou lost his mother at seventeen, and so many years have passed with him growing up all alone.

At home, his father never truly looked at him.

Let alone doing anything for him; he could barely remember his birthday each year till long after it had passed.

But as for Su Han, in their eyes, he was the real son, with them sending lots of money abroad to him.

Mind you, that money was earned by Suzhou through hard work on his own.

Sometimes, Suzhou really couldn’t understand why his father treated him this way. When his mother was around, he wasn’t like this.

Is it only to please that woman by his side?

Just as he was pondering, there was a sudden knock on the door, pulling Suzhou back from his thoughts completely.

Currently, he was facing many rather tricky issues.

As long as he could keep the Su Group from collapsing, he would do anything, let alone ask Xu Ke, which for Suzhou was a piece of cake.

"Come in."

The door opened. Suzhou returned to his chair. Although he was in a terrible mood now, he tried to control his emotions to avoid making the staff overthink.

He hadn’t expected that the one coming in was not someone else, but the little girl he had rescued at the bar that day.

Han Ning stood in front of Suzhou, dressed neatly in her usual professional suit.

"What’s wrong? Is there something you need?" Suzhou asked with concern.

For each of his subordinates, Suzhou treated them this way because his mother once told him that the company’s achievements were all thanks to the employees.

One should treat them well day to day.

Actually, Han Ning had heard some rumors and came specifically to check on Suzhou. If Suzhou hadn’t given her this opportunity back then, her grandmother’s illness might still be untreated today.

"Um, President, I know the company is having issues now, and I don’t know how to help you. I studied psychology in college, so if you need any consultation, you can come to me. I can help you. I did very well in my major."

Han Ning said everything she wanted to say in one breath.

Unexpectedly, Suzhou was not angry. Instead, he found the girl in front of him very cute, that she could actually say such things.

Presumably, in the whole company, no one dared to speak to him like this at such a time.

Han Ning, seeing Suzhou not speaking, thought he really needed some psychological counseling.

After all, Suzhou was a human too, sure to have emotions. With something this big happening in the company, he’s bound to carry a burden in his heart.

"President, rest assured, I truly mean no harm and have no intention of prying into your privacy. I simply want to help you."

Suzhou looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly felt that in this company, only Han Ning would do something like this.

He suddenly wanted to tease the girl before him.

"Alright. I do feel that maybe I’m under a lot of work pressure recently, and I often can’t sleep at night. I might be getting depressed. Do you think you have a way to solve this?"

Han Ning thoroughly analyzed the situation for Suzhou.

Now Suzhou was truly convinced that Han Ning had excelled in her studies, as she really made him feel much more at ease.

This must be the charm of psychology.

The afternoon slipped away unknowingly.

Han Ning would never have imagined that her gesture sparked a unique feeling in Suzhou, who hadn’t felt warmth for so many years.

"President Su, don’t you feel a bit better now, that things aren’t as troublesome as before? Actually, let me tell you, in life, one will definitely encounter many difficulties; it all depends on the attitude you take to face them. So, don’t feel overwhelmed by troubles; sometimes adversity is also an opportunity?"

Han Ning’s earnest expression while speaking melted Suzhou’s heart completely.

"President Su, are you listening to me, President Su?"

Yes, President Su stared blankly, seemingly lost in his thoughts, but no one knew what exactly.

"Ah, I am listening, continue."

"President Su, I’ve finished talking. Do you feel any better now?"

Suzhou had to admire that having Han Ning working at his company was quite underutilizing her talents; she should be leveraging her expertise more fully.

This way, perhaps it would be a bit better.

"Yes, I think you’re quite good, but I have a question. Since you studied psychology in college, why not work in that field and instead go to a bar to sing?"

This was something that Suzhou had long wanted to ask, but out of courtesy, it was awkward for a boss to ask about an employee’s private matters.

Han Ning remained silent.

How should she bring this up? If she just said it outright, President Su might not believe her; but if she didn’t say it, he might think she was unwilling to tell him.

Suzhou could see Han Ning’s silence; this girl had too many secrets. Clearly, she could rely on her looks to get by, but she chooses to earn her own living.

Probably, in this society now, are such girls rare?

"Well, President, if I tell you, will you believe me?"

Han Ning believed that Suzhou was someone trustworthy, willing to share her heart’s secrets with him.

Perhaps, in Han Ning’s eyes, she never saw Suzhou as her superior, more like an old friend she hadn’t seen for years.

Someone to share secrets with, to chat about anything and everything.

"Alright, rest assured, I promise only the two of us will know." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Hearing Suzhou say this, Han Ning felt relieved.

She told Suzhou that she originally had a boyfriend in college, and the predicament she ended up in was all due to him.

Such a story might not be believed by many, but Suzhou was different; he was willing to believe the girl in front of him.

He always thought Han Ning was different from other girls. She had too many unique qualities that couldn’t be replaced by others.

After this, Suzhou believed in Han Ning even more. The two of them now shared a secret. From then on, Suzhou was no longer alone.

He also had a friend of his own.

Perhaps many years later, this would become one of his most cherished memories.
