Jealous

Jiang Qing was overcome with curiosity.

Unable to resist, she leaned in for a peek at Lin Xuan’s phone.

Her eyes went wide.

It was actually a borderline NSFW video of a beauty twerking.

To think Young Master Lin would watch this kind of video—and get caught by President Su, no less! No wonder President Su had that dark, murderous look on her face...

Young Master Lin, you’d better pray for luck.

In her heart, Jiang Qing silently lit three sticks of incense for Lin Xuan.

Terrified of becoming collateral damage to Su Hua’s wrath, she didn’t dare linger in the office and slipped away without a sound.

"What do you think of this video Luo Yuan sent you, Ah Xuan?" Su Hua asked, raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow.

Lin Xuan shook his head. "There’s nothing interesting about it. I wasn't even looking closely."

"Hua, this woman can’t compare to you at all—not in looks, and certainly not in figure. If Luo Yuan hadn't sent it to me, I would have swiped past it immediately even if it popped up on my feed."

"Heh."

Su Hua let out a low chuckle. "So, you did notice her looks and figure? It sounds like you got a pretty good look, didn't you, Ah Xuan?"

"Did you get a good look at her legs? Her chest?"

Lin Xuan: "..."

Forget it. He decided it was best to keep his mouth shut. At a time like this, anything he said would be wrong.

Su Hua’s gaze returned to the phone screen.

Her fingers tapped lightly against the glass.

Lin Xuan was curious.

He wondered what Hua was up to on the phone.

Curiosity getting the better of him, he leaned in, trying to see what was happening.

Su Hua shot him a glance that was not quite a smile.

Lin Xuan immediately sat back down. He sat bolt upright, hands resting on his knees, looking exactly like an elementary school student paying close attention in class.

Ding.

Jiang Qing received a message on her phone.

She glanced at it and saw it was from Lin Xuan.

"Manager Chen, hold on a moment. I need to take care of something first."

"Is it work-related?" Manager Chen asked curiously.

"No." Jiang Qing shook her head. "Young Master Lin contacted me. It must be something important."

"Then, Secretary Jiang, please go handle it immediately. I'm in no rush here; take your time," Manager Chen said. The moment he heard it was Lin Xuan looking for Jiang Qing, he felt that waiting, no matter how long, was acceptable.

Young Master Lin’s business was the top priority!

Everything else had to step aside.

"Alright."

Jiang Qing nodded and opened her chat history with Lin Xuan.

Seeing the content, her brows furrowed deeply.

This woman... wasn't this the same woman from Young Master Lin's phone? The one in the revealing outfit shaking her rear?

Why would Young Master Lin send this to her?

Jiang Qing closed the photo and read the accompanying text.

[Activate the Night Rose Intelligence Agency. Investigate! Find this woman’s original appearance, create a Huyin video exposing it, post it on Huyin, and then send the link to me. You have ten minutes to complete this.]

Jiang Qing: !!!

So, President Su sent this.

That explained everything.

She had been wondering why Young Master Lin would send her a photo of a beautiful woman.

She had to admit, President Su really was the jealous type.

Wait, ten minutes...

With time so tight, Jiang Qing didn't dare delay. She immediately called the contact for the Night Rose Intelligence Agency.

"I have an extremely urgent matter for you to handle right now."

The person in charge of the Night Rose Intelligence Agency instantly perked up.

A big job was coming!

For it to be this urgent, the Alliance Leader must be planning something major.

Rubbing his hands together in anticipation, the director said excitedly, "Secretary Jiang, just give the order. I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

"I’m sending you a photo. She’s a minor influencer on Huyin. Find a video of her real appearance—no beauty filters, no editing—and post it on Huyin. Once it's up, boost the likes and comments, and send me the link. You have eight minutes to finish all of this," Jiang Qing said rapidly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up.

Then, she sent the influencer's photo to the director.

The director: "..."

And here he thought it was something major.

Is this it? Just this...?

Damn it. He was the head of the world's number one intelligence agency, and here he was, digging up gossip videos? Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Unsurprisingly, this had to be related to Young Master Lin.

Only matters concerning Young Master Lin would make the Alliance Leader order them to investigate such trivialities.

"Sigh."

The director shook his head. "Women in love."

There were millions of women in the world, and none could escape the word 'love'—not even their Alliance Leader.

It took the director only five minutes to find the influencer's real appearance.

At the Su Group.

"Secretary Jiang," Manager Chen asked curiously. "Um, is it because Young Master Lin looked at videos or photos of beauties, and President Su got angry?"

"Most likely," Jiang Qing nodded.

President Su was so possessive and domineering; seeing Young Master Lin watching that kind of suggestive video would definitely make her angry.

"I'm done for. I'm absolutely done for."

Manager Chen’s brows were knit with worry. "I have to go see President Su in a bit. If she’s in a bad mood, I’m definitely going to suffer."

When President Su was jealous, she would undoubtedly magnify his mistakes and punish him accordingly.

But this work couldn't be postponed.

What was he supposed to do?

Jiang Qing smiled and said, "Manager Chen, don't worry. Isn't Young Master Lin there? He’ll definitely be able to coax President Su into a better mood."

"And even if he can't, just make sure you go in when Young Master Lin is present. As long as he's there, President Su will control her temper no matter how angry she is."

President Su certainly wouldn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Young Master Lin.

"That's true."

Manager Chen finally felt relieved.

"Secretary Jiang, I'll go organize the documents right now and then head over to see President Su."

With that, Manager Chen hurried away.

Although Young Master Lin would likely stay with President Su until she got off work, what if he suddenly had an emergency and left?

To be safe, he needed to get to President Su as soon as possible.

Inside the CEO's office.

"The door frame behind her is warped," Su Hua said, looking at the phone with a serious expression as she began her critique. "It shows she's over-edited the photo. She looks like a mannequin. And these legs... they've been stretched way too long..."

"Mm, you're right."

Lin Xuan nodded. "You can't trust these women online. Once the beauty filters are on, even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them."

He was telling the truth about this.

He had scrolled past several famous influencers who made their living on Huyin.

Once, he ran into two of those influencers at the Tianmu Group. Their appearance in reality versus on Huyin was like looking at two completely different people.

Su Hua finally exited that influencer's profile.

Her finger resumed scrolling through Huyin videos.

However, perhaps because Su Hua had spent so much time focusing on that specific influencer, the algorithm on Lin Xuan's phone began aggressively pushing videos of beautiful women to the feed.
