Xu Er Shaoye hurriedly bowed and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I didn't properly manage my subordinates or the people in our company."
"I will conduct a serious self-reflection on this matter and will clarify it at tomorrow's meeting, informing everyone that in the future, any matters concerning Chu's Group must be handled with utmost seriousness and without any conflict."
"Furthermore, these decisions were not solely mine. More importantly, my father gave the order. He told me that from now on, when cooperating with Mr. Lin, we must not have any conflicts and must treat you fairly."
Lin Xiaotian's face showed a smile. "Although your attitude is very good, since a mistake has been made, shouldn't you accept some punishment?"
"Xu Cheng brought this upon himself, but are you not going to make any amends?"
Xu Er Shaoye had not expected Lin Xiaotian to be waiting for him. He had indeed come in a hurry without bringing any gifts. He had previously clearly stated that he was Lin Xiaotian's dog.
He had never imagined that he would need to bring a gift when coming to see Lin Xiaotian. His expression became extremely awkward.
Chu Nianxue directly pulled Lin Xiaotian aside. Her beautiful face still held an unshakeable shock. She strongly suspected that Lin Xiaotian had done something, but he hadn't told her about it.
"Young Master Xu, he's just joking with you. Let's forget about the apology. After all, we were a bit too heavy-handed."
"Our two companies are not on equal footing. Cooperating with you might slow down your progress. Perhaps we should just call off the cooperation!"
Chu Nianxue did not want to deal with a tiger.
However, Xu Er Shaoye could only force a dry laugh. He looked at Lin Xiaotian, unsure if Lin Xiaotian had told Chu Nianxue about those matters, especially since they were very confidential, known only to him and Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "When it comes to cooperation, you can discuss it with me slowly. My wife knows nothing about it."
"If you wish to continue cooperating, then show me your sincerity. Alright, you can leave now."
Hearing this, Xu Er Shaoye breathed a sigh of relief. At least Lin Xiaotian wasn't directly making things difficult for him.
Although he had asked him to bring a gift, it was mostly in jest. At this moment, he could see that Lin Xiaotian didn't really care about what had happened before, but he still had to show the proper attitude.
After he left.
Chu Nianxue turned around, her eyebrows furrowed. "How long have you been keeping things from me?"
"If you don't tell me everything today, I'm not done with you!"
"You don't tell me anything, and you let me worry for so long. Do you think it's fun?"
Lin Xiaotian could see that his wife was genuinely a little angry. He smiled and directly swept his wife into his arms, then carried her into the room in a princess carry.
"Wife, don't rush. I'll tell you slowly."
"The night is long, and there's nothing else to do. Why don't we talk as we..."
Chu Nianxue's face blushed slightly, but she maintained a stern expression. "It's no use being playful with me. If you don't tell me everything tonight, I will really be angry."
"You know everything about me, but I know very little about you. Yet, you keep calling me your wife."
"If you truly consider me your wife, shouldn't you reveal your secrets?"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and sat on the bed, holding the person in his arms tightly. He lowered his head and inhaled the scent of her hair, a smile appearing on his face. "Wife, if you really want to know my secrets, you must promise me one thing."
"Tell me!" Chu Nianxue's heart was filled with anticipation.
Now she realized how little she truly knew about Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "Then you must promise me that whenever we argue, you won't kick me out of the room. I want to sleep in the big bed at night; I don't want to sleep on the floor anymore. It's too hard."
Chu Nianxue's beautiful face turned red. She pretended to be angry and said, "Even if I don't agree, you naughty guy would have already climbed up and I wouldn't be able to drive you away."
"However, since you've brought it up today, I promise you."
After saying this, Chu Nianxue felt as if her face was a small furnace, burning so hot that she dared not look into Lin Xiaotian's eyes.
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even brighter. "Wife, then I'll quietly tell you some secrets, just the two of us, slowly."
The lights were turned off, and Chu Nianxue's shy scolding could still be heard.
"You're going too far. Don't put your hand there..."
As the night passed, Chu Nianxue woke up the next day with a face full of annoyance. The guy had told her a bunch of secrets last night, but they were all trivial matters.
He had only grudgingly told her about the Xu family's affairs. When they went to the company, Chu Nianxue didn't speak to Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian's face still wore a bright smile. He knew that his wife's anger was only temporary, but there were some things he couldn't say now. If he did, his wife probably wouldn't believe him.
Besides, he didn't want to dwell on the past anymore. He only wanted a peaceful and stable life from now on.
"Wife, that guy is standing at the company entrance again. But he should have brought a gift today. I want to see what gift he's prepared for us."
When they arrived at the company, Lin Xiaotian had already seen Xu Er Shaoye standing there.
Chu Nianxue snorted angrily. She was still upset about what the scoundrel had done yesterday. She had almost been devoured by him.
Lin Xiaotian walked over with a chuckle, his gaze falling on Xu Er Shaoye.
"You're quite early today. Have you prepared a gift for me?"
Xu Er Shaoye immediately took out an exquisitely packaged box from his bag, his face filled with a fawning smile. "Mr. Lin, I noticed you weren't wearing a watch. This is a new watch I just bought from overseas. It's worth over six million foreign currency and is a limited edition worldwide."
"There are only one hundred pieces in the entire world."
Lin Xiaotian took the watch, glanced at it, and casually put it in his pocket. "I don't like wearing watches. If I were to get into a fight while wearing this, it might get damaged, and then I'd feel heartbroken. However, I'm quite satisfied with this gift. I won't use it myself, but I can give it to someone else."
Xu Er Shaoye hesitated slightly, then lowered his voice. "Mr. Lin, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
