"What?" My eyes widened in shock as if struck by lightning.

Since Su Peng was imprisoned, Su Yu has always been the CEO of Orange Maple.

If we want to turn the tide, Su Yu played a vital role, and I was just executing his plan from the sidelines.

Now the Li family is going to acquire Orange Maple. After the acquisition plan is completed, Li Xing, as the chairman, will have the highest decision-making power.

I never expected that he would ask me to replace Su Yu as the CEO of Orange Maple Group.

Perhaps my reaction was too surprised, Li Xing frowned subconsciously.

Just when I was in a daze, Su Yuyun smiled lightly and said, "Xiaoshi has a lot of work experience, and she is indeed the best candidate to be the new CEO of Orange Maple."

While speaking, he looked at me meaningfully.

I suddenly remembered what he reminded me before coming to the company.

"Go to the company later, no matter what conditions uncle proposes, you must agree to him."

I was very shocked. Could it be that Su Yu had guessed that Li Xing would have such a request?

Li Xing glanced at Su Yu, obviously satisfied with his answer, and the smile returned to his face: "Well, and if Xiaoshi is the CEO, we can join forces with the Li Group in the future."

Li Xing is worthy of being a veteran of the shopping mall, and his calculations are all on the Li Group.

Meeting Su Yu's eyes, I withdrew my thoughts, pondered for a moment and said, "I'm fine, but in terms of experience and ability, my brother is much better than me. From now on, I still need my brother to help me."

I looked at Li Xing, testing his arrangements for Su Yu.

When he saw my agreement, he was very happy for a moment: "That's natural. After Xiaoshi becomes the CEO, Xiaoyu can be the vice president of Orange Maple. You brothers and sisters will join hands, and next year's performance will be even higher."

Suppressing the suspicion in my heart, I smiled lightly.

From the corner of the eye, I saw that Su Yu's expression remained unchanged, and I couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.

After Li Xing visited the company, Su Yu sent a driver to take him home.

After watching the car leave, I put away the smile on my face and turned to Su Yu, "Since when did you know?"

"It started when my uncle agreed to buy Orange Maple." Su Yu raised his eyebrows without changing his face and asked me, "Why are you not happy about the promotion?"

"What's there to be happy about?" I frowned displeased.

Until now, I didn't want to understand a lot of things.

At the beginning Su Yu asked me to join Chengfeng, and before discussing the acquisition plan, he told me veiledly that only when I joined Chengfeng, could Li Xue be sure to persuade Li Xing to agree to the acquisition.

At that time, I didn't understand the reason, because I didn't know that Su Yu was an adopted son.

But Li Xing was different, he knew early on that Su Yu was not Li Xue's own.

He couldn't trust Su Yu, and was always on guard against him in the acquisition of Cheng Feng.

That's why he first proposed me as CEO before the acquisition.

"Orange Maple is your painstaking effort. Uncle doesn't understand at all. Without you, Orange Maple would have gone bankrupt long ago! Your ability, your experience, and your mind are all top-notch in the business world. Is it because your uncle paid for the acquisition?" Cheng Feng, does he have the right to take away everything that belongs to you?!" Thinking of this, I was a little excited.

I frowned, blushing and neck blue with anger: "And you, why do you want me to agree to such a shameful request? Su Yu, you are my brother, no matter whether we are related by blood or not, we are all worthy of the name family!"

Su Yu's body froze for a moment, and he looked at me blankly.

After a long while, he looked away from my face and said in a deep voice, "Are you pitying me?"

I froze, not sure which of my words stabbed him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." At this moment, I was very afraid of hurting Su Yu.I hurriedly added, "Mom told me about your life experience, but I'm definitely not pitying you. You know, I also stayed in an orphanage for a while when I was young, so I can empathize with you..."

I have never talked with Su Yu about this in private.

Even, I have grown up so much, and I have never mentioned anything about my childhood to anyone.

In terms of emotional expression, I seem to be born less than others, or maybe I gave all my emotions to Li Yunzhou and Xixi.

"Empathy?" Su Yu interrupted me, then sneered, and asked me, "Ruan Shi, have you ever tried to spend half a month guarding a person's body in a [-]-degree summer?"

I trembled all over, and my brain made up what Su Yu looked like when he was a child.

I couldn't believe it: "You mean, your biological mother..."

Although Li Xue's description was cruel, it was still not accurate enough.

She only knew that Su Yu's biological mother had died of illness, but she didn't know that no one had found out since then.

Su Yu was guarding his biological mother's body. The young him was at a loss and could only cry helplessly.

Until the stench from the rotting corpse alarmed the villagers, the villagers called the police.

It wasn't until that moment that Su Yu knew that her biological mother was dead, and she would never wake up again.

I was horrified when I heard it.

I really don't have the right to say "empathy" to him.

"I'm sorry..." I don't know what to say other than apologizing.

Su Yu's dark eyes stared at me deeply, and the flash of anger and despair in his eyes shocked me.

I am at a loss.

In the next second, she turned around and hugged him.

I patted his back, felt his stiff and straight body, and comforted him softly: "It's all over, now you have me and mom, we will always be a family."

Su Yu raised his hands subconsciously, and then lowered them again.

He gently pushed me away.

"Well, you're right, it's all over." The corners of his lips outlined a beautiful arc, Su Yu smiled and said: "Family? Since we are a family, what difference does it make if we are the CEO?"

He quickly regained his calm expression.

"Well, the most important thing now is a smooth acquisition. I don't care about other things at all."

Su Yu actually turned to comfort me.

After speaking, he entered the elevator without looking back.

In the evening, I went home.

After dinner, I received a call from Li Xue: "Xiaoshi, do you have time tomorrow? Your aunt wants to go shopping and invites us to go with her."

Going shopping with Wan Fei is now considered a work arrangement.

I naturally agreed: "Okay, I will drive to pick you up tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, a cup of hot milk was handed to him.

I turned around and saw Li Yunzhou's handsome face.

"You've been too busy to talk to me recently." Li Yunzhou complained.

"Thank you." I took the milk and kissed him on the face at the same time, deliberately teasing him, "After I become the CEO of Orange Maple, I'm afraid I will be even busier. If you feel sorry for me, why don't you resign and go home Take the kids?"
