“Nothing will change.”
Xiao Chu paused and nodded. “CEO Li, there’s a multinational meeting at the Ye Corporation tomorrow afternoon that requires your presence. It’s a joint venture with Country D for the development of luxury hotels and tourist streets.”
“I do.”
Li Tingshen was very busy. Even among his peers, he was busy dating and enjoying his youth. Not only did he take over the Li family’s company and all the key development projects of the Ye Corporation, but he also established his own company.
No one took him seriously, but in the end, they were bitten by him because they were careless.
This was probably Li Tingshen’s shrewdness. No one would have thought that he would use his age to walk such a deep path.
In the past six months, everyone who knew him was surprised by his methods.
Although he was high-profile, he kept a low profile.
Everyone’s attitude towards him had changed from mocking him as a live-in son-in-law to fear and flattery. They no longer dared to criticize him in private.
However, there were other rumors in the company.
Although he no longer mentioned his son-in-law, news of him wanting to completely control the Ye Corporation spread like wildfire.
He had no feelings for the little princess of the Ye family. In fact, he hated her. All his patience was for the sake of the Ye Corporation.
Perhaps he had planned this for a long time.
Everyone knew what it meant to have the little princess of the Ye family.
There was no fool who didn’t want to get the Ye Corporation.
In the beginning, the shareholders were disdainful of Li Tingshen and mocked him for wanting to use a woman to climb up the ranks.
However, in the past few years, he had entered the core of the upper echelons and held absolute power. If he really left the Ye Corporation, it was unimaginable what would happen to the company.
If he wanted to go against the Ye Corporation, the Ye Corporation would not have the upper hand.

Ye Qingqiu’s mood didn’t seem to have worsened because of the afternoon episode.
At first, Luoluo was very worried, but later on, she realized that she really didn’t take it to heart.
During dinner with Li Tingshen, Ye Qingqiu casually asked about what happened at noon.
“I’m fired,” Li Tingshen said.
Ye Qingqiu replied calmly, “Oh, Baibai is a few years older than Liang Xuer.”
She was grateful for being used.
She paused and seemed to have thought of something. Her lips curled. “But it’s alright. Someone is decades older than her and she’s still willing to be used.”
Li Tingshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, but Ye Qingqiu seemed to be talking about something unimportant. She picked up a mouthful of food and chewed slowly.
“What kind of wedding do you want?”
When Li Tingshen spoke again, Ye Qingqiu paused.
“What?”
Li Tingshen smirked and said, “Although I can arrange this, I can’t know what style you like or other details. After all, it’s a very important matter. It’s easiest to ask you. It’s better to do less useless things.”
Ye Qingqiu slowly put down her chopsticks. “Do… we… want to hold a wedding?”
“How about holding a wedding the day after your birthday next year?”
Ye Qingqiu looked a little dazed. “…I think it’s more memorable to hold it on my birthday.”
Li Tingshen took a sip of water and said calmly, “Are you sure you want to do this? Do you want to celebrate two anniversaries every year? That should save me a lot of time…”
Before Li Tingshen could finish speaking, Ye Qingqiu reacted.
“I’ve decided. It’s best to hold the wedding the day after my birthday!”
Li Tingshen smiled. “So you can tell me what kind of wedding you want.”
Ye Qingqiu’s beautiful eyes seemed to have turned into a sea of stars.
“Then I want to take a good look!”
Ye Qingqiu couldn’t hide her happiness. “I happen to have a lot of time recently.”
Li Tingshen couldn’t resonate with her.
They had already gotten their marriage certificate and were living a married life. This wedding was just a superficial one. What could it bring?
But he knew that women all hoped for a dreamy and grand wedding.
Ye Qingqiu was indeed the eldest daughter of the Ye family and the little princess of Ping Cheng City. The wedding would definitely be unprecedented.

The next day, Ye Qingqiu excitedly went to the best wedding planning company in Ping Cheng City.
She stayed the entire morning.
The wedding planning company was targeting the big shots of the wealthy families in Ping Cheng City at all times. Which young master had reached his age and which daughter had fallen in love?
This was business.
They were naturally very happy to see Ye Qingqiu. Ye Qingqiu was probably the one they looked forward to the most.
Even after Ye Qingqiu left, the people from the planning company were still lamenting.
As expected of the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she had the best requirements.
“I’m so envious of her. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Look at her temperament, skin, and figure. Isn’t that all because of money?”
“So it’s her wedding with Li Tingshen? Although I already knew, it’s still unbelievable.”
“That’s right. Everyone says that Young Master Li wants to get the Ye Corporation. Otherwise, how could he tolerate Miss Ye’s temper?”
“That’s not something we should worry about. I’m looking forward to seeing how luxurious Princess Ye’s wedding will be.”
“Oh, I can’t imagine. I can only see it with my own eyes.”
The topic of the young women returned to how grand the wedding would be. Everyone’s expressions were filled with yearning.
Every woman had a dream wedding.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t even have lunch and got Ye Ze to bring her to the bridal shop.
After visiting three shops in a row, Ye Qingqiu finally decided to have lunch impatiently under Ye Ze’s repeated reminders.
Ignoring her cold face, Ye Ze drove and said, “This place is very close to Ru Yixuan. Miss likes the porridge here the most.”
“Ru Yixuan?” Ye Qingqiu paused. “…Then let’s go there and get two servings. I’ll go to the company to eat with him.”
Ye Ze was silent for a few seconds. “It’s already past two. CEO Li should have had lunch.”
“Then let’s have afternoon tea. He seems to like Ru Yixuan’s porridge too.”
“Yes.”

At three o’clock, Li Tingshen was still in a meeting when Ye Qingqiu called. Xiao Chu answered the call.
“Where is Li Tingshen?”
Outside the conference room, Xiao Chu said in a low voice, “President Li is having a meeting at the Ye Corporation. What’s the matter? I can help you pass the message.”
“At the Ye Corporation? It’s nothing much. I packed something for him to eat with me. You don’t have to help me pass the message. I’ll be there soon.”
“Okay…”
Ten minutes after the call ended, Li Tingshen’s phone rang again.
She picked up the call again. “Madam, CEO Li is in a meeting. I can help you pass the message.”
Lian Lili’s deep and cold voice sounded, “Where is the meeting?”
“Ye Corporation.”
“Yeah.”
Lian Li responded before hanging up.
Xiao Chu was confused.
The meeting ended half an hour later. The moment Li Tingshen came out, Xiao Chu reported to him about Ye Qingqiu’s call.
Li Tingshen didn’t have any special expression. “Go buy a sugarless cake.”
Xiao Chu understood and said, “Madam called just now, but she didn’t say anything…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the man appeared at the entrance of the office.
“Happy Double Festival~~ Have a good holiday~~”
