Su Rong, accompanied by Liu Xu, brought the gemstone to the restaurant. Sheng Qiye and Special Assistant Leng arrived slightly late. Wishing to show her appreciation to such distinguished guests, Su Rong specifically ordered the restaurant’s most expensive set menu, along with a bottle of red wine.
Su Rong raised her glass and said respectfully, "Thank you, President Sheng and Special Assistant Leng, for your help. If it weren't for you today, I would have been in grave danger."
An image flashed through her mind of Sheng Qiye carrying her out of the black market. He had been like a beam of light, rescuing her from the darkness. In that moment, she saw him not just as a savior who had rescued her, but as someone who had provided her with warmth and hope.
