Chapter 424: Chapter 424
Su Qingzhang was frightened by Pello’s bold proposal.
The funds for firefighting and safety in the old mining areas, this sum of money, cannot be moved. Su Qingzhang, a businessman, is not an illegal trader. Over the years, he has repeatedly received hints from underworld figures hoping he would participate in some more profitable "grey" industries, but he has consistently refused.
"No, including several coal mining areas in Shanxi and Gansu, the regional supervisors have repeatedly mentioned equipment upgrades and firefighting renovation. Those funds cannot be saved," Su Qingzhang pondered and still refused.
"Then our project is likely to be shelved, the Wen Family has spotted a mining project for a foreign diamond mine. If we don’t act quickly, their available funds will escape overseas," Pello sensed Su Qingzhang’s hesitation from his tone.
"Absolutely not, issues in the mining area are criminal offenses, and I also heard that several mines recently experienced coal seam water seepage, I cannot in good conscience risk lives for that money," Su Qingzhang felt Pello cornering him into a difficult position, he wanted to firmly deny it and hang up immediately, but his hand disobeyed him.
"Water seepage? Then add a few high-position water pumps, and remind the workers to be mindful of safety during construction, the Wen Family’s required guarantee period is one year," Pello proposed a few points, in terms of safety management, Su Qingzhang indeed had a group of capable people under him.
"High positioned water pumps! I’m afraid that’s not enough, those equipments are already quite old," Su Qingzhang changed his firm denial to a tentative negotiation, "What if an accident occurs."
"Su Family’s mining zones have been national saftey exemplary mining zones for many years, not even a minor accident has occurred over the past decade, how could a major one happen," Pello gradually dispelled Su Qingzhang’s doubts.
In the end, Su Qingzhang had no choice but to give in, "Then let’s allocate that money, but when signing, the Wen Family must specify in the agreement to return the corresponding guarantee money within one year."
"Of course, it’s just one year, chairman, rest assured, nothing will happen," Pello hung up the phone. The next morning, Wen Maixue would represent the Wen Family and sign the agreement with Su Qingzhang, and by the time Su Ziceng returned home, everything had already been too late.

The hospital discharge process went smoothly, just that Su Ziceng got lectured by the diligent doctor during the re-examination. That night, Su Ziceng wanted to call home, and when she got through to the household telephone, the butler asked whom to connect her with, she suddenly didn’t know who to talk to.
In the past, Su Ziceng could let the servants connect her to Yan Wuxu, but after the Subi Auction House incident, Yan Wuxu basically had no dealings with her. Su Ziceng didn’t think there was anything wrong with taking out that portion of funds, from the Wine Shop to the one hundred francs trip to Paris, to the hard work at Subi Auction House, every step of the way told Su Ziceng that effort should reap rewards, and she just took what she deserved.
After thinking for a moment, Su Ziceng said, "Connect the call to Dad." After a while, the butler came back and said the master had gone to sleep with the young master.
"Then don’t wake him up, tell them I will catch the flight back home tomorrow evening," after hanging up the phone, Su Ziceng sat on the hospital bed, feeling a sudden onset of loneliness, and noticed an extra pair of arms behind her, Pello had walked in at some point.
Facing the beautiful night scene of Nice City, Su Ziceng said emotionally, "I feel like there’s no place for me at home anymore." She really wanted to tell her father that the so-called "Su Family young master" was a sham, she couldn’t understand how Yan Wuxu managed to abandon his own son, and found his own place at the Su Family with a fake smile.
"Then leave Su Family," Pello’s nose nuzzled into Su Ziceng’s neck, tickling her slightly. The frostbite on her neck had completely healed, the newly grown skin was tender and smooth.
"Leave Su Family?" Su Ziceng wasn’t sure if she was reacting to Pello’s suggestion, or to Pello’s current actions. She was wearing a soft wool cardigan, initially for ease during re-examination, but now it served to facilitate Pello in his attempt to remove it.
Pello’s arms wrapped around her waist moved upwards to the metal zipper, and gently pulled it down. After the zipper was undone, only a red bra was left covering Su Ziceng’s upper body.
