The assistant kept her head down and replied in a very small voice, "President Su, Young Master Lin didn't accept it."
Su Hua's brows furrowed tightly. "What's going on? Didn't you tell them it was from me?"
The assistant answered, "I did, but it was still rejected. They said Young Master Lin isn't accepting any gifts, even if it's something from you, President Su."
After saying this, she hurriedly added, "But President Su, it was the security guards who rejected it. They said it was Young Master Lin's order; Young Master Lin didn't tell me that himself."
Su Hua clenched her fists.
The assistant could clearly feel the piercingly cold aura radiating from Su Hua.
She stood to the side trembling, terrified of drawing Su Hua's attention, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
"Heh—"
A low chuckle escaped Su Hua's lips. "Not even accepting my gift. Good. Ah Xuan is really doing great."
The assistant silently lit a candle for Lin Xuan in her heart.
Young Master Lin, you're on your own now. Good luck.
"You may leave," Su Hua ordered coldly.
"Yes, President Su."
The assistant walked out of the CEO's office and closed the door behind her.
Standing by the door, she patted her chest, still shaken.
President Su's expression just now was truly, incredibly terrifying.
"Little Liu, what's wrong?" Jiang Qing walked over and asked curiously.
"Did you do something wrong?"
It didn't make sense. President Su came to the company in a pretty good mood today. Even if Little Liu made a mistake at work and President Su found out, she shouldn't be this frightened.
"Secretary Jiang, it's like this."
The assistant recounted everything to Jiang Qing in detail. "Didn't President Su buy a pair of rings this morning?"
Jiang Qing nodded.
That did happen.
President Su really liked that pair of rings and bought them on the spot.
The assistant continued, "This afternoon, after President Su found out that Young Master Lin was at the Tianmu Group, she sent me over with a bouquet of roses and the rings."
Jiang Qing frowned and asked, "Young Master Lin didn't accept them?"
"Right, he didn't." The assistant nodded and went on, "I couldn't even get through the doors of the Tianmu Group. I kept explaining to the security guards that it was a gift from President Su to Young Master Lin, but they stubbornly refused to let me in or take the gifts to him."
"That shouldn't be the case." Jiang Qing shook her head. "It's impossible for Young Master Lin to reject a gift from President Su."
Even if they had an argument, Young Master Lin wouldn't refuse President Su's gift.
Besides, President Su showed up at the company today looking radiant and glowing, with quite a few hickeys left on her neck by Young Master Lin. How could they suddenly have a fight out of nowhere?
So, there must be some kind of misunderstanding here.
Jiang Qing said, "I'll call Young Master Lin and ask him what's going on."
She took out her phone and called Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan answered.
"Secretary Jiang."
"Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing asked. "Did you know that President Su sent someone to deliver a gift to you today?"
Lin Xuan frowned.
Hua sent him a gift? How come he didn't know about it?
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered the orders he had given his subordinates not long ago.
Damn it!
Lin Xuan slapped his forehead. So the company staff hadn't just intercepted the gifts from Jiang Yutong, but they had also blocked the things sent by Hua.
"Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing continued. "President Su thinks you didn't want her gift and is currently angry. I think you should figure out a way to make it up to her."
"Alright, Secretary Jiang. I understand." Lin Xuan took a deep breath.
Really, the heavens were out to get him!
What a massive misunderstanding!
"Secretary Jiang, thank you for telling me about this," Lin Xuan said.
"Young Master Lin, there's no need to thank me. I told you this mostly for my own sake," Secretary Jiang chuckled.
If President Su stayed this angry, the subordinates would suffer, and as her secretary, she would be the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, she had to bring in Young Master Lin as a fire extinguisher to put out President Su's fire.
The relationship between Young Master Lin and President Jiang still had to rely on her, the secretary, to mediate.
As a secretary, she had to handle both her work and the relationship issues between President Su and Young Master Lin. President Su really ought to give her a raise.
"Secretary Jiang, I have to go. I'm rushing over to the Su Group right now."
Lin Xuan hung up the phone.
The people in the office had all heard the conversation between Lin Xuan and Jiang Qing, so they didn't stop him.
As soon as Lin Xuan walked out of the office door, Foxtail came over.
"Boss, I need to talk to you about something," Foxtail said, blocking Lin Xuan's path.
He was here to urge him for updates on behalf of the readers.
The boss had finally been diligent for a while, updating daily, but it didn't last long before he got lazy again, skipping updates from time to time.
Especially since the plot had just reached a climax—stopping right there was absolute torture, leaving him itching with anticipation.
When the boss arrived at the company, he was still discussing publishing and film adaptations with a Platinum-tier author.
He had been anxious to come back and find the boss right then, but he couldn't just ditch that Platinum author, so he patiently continued their discussion on publishing and film adaptations.
The moment it ended, he drove straight back.
He had thought the boss would already be gone by the time he got back to the company. Thank goodness, the boss hadn't left yet.
Lin Xuan said, "I have an emergency right now. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it later."
"Boss, where are you going?"
Foxtail was a bit anxious.
He had finally caught the boss, and now he was going to miss him again?
Lin Xuan replied, "I'm going to put out a fire."
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Xuan stepped inside.
Foxtail stared at the elevator, his face full of confusion.
Put out a fire? What fire?
Since when did the boss start doing the work of a firefighter?
Lin Xuan's car was parked by the side of the road.
As soon as he walked out of the Tianmu Group, seven or eight teenagers blocked his way.
"Mr. Lin, this is something Second Miss Jiang sent you."
"Mr. Lin, Second Miss Jiang sent you a big gold necklace. Do you want to take a look?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
Is there no end to this?
Lin Xuan said with a headache, "I don't want these. Take them all back."
"Young Master Lin, we can't do that," the kids said, shaking their heads. "Second Miss Jiang told us we absolutely must deliver these into your hands."
Lin Xuan took several deep breaths.
If they were adults, he would have just gotten physical and knocked them down.
However, these were just a bunch of kids; he couldn't exactly do anything to them.
From the looks of it, if he didn't accept these things, he wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.
But he was in a rush to get to the Su Group and coax Hua.
"Fine, give them all to me." Lin Xuan had no choice but to accept the items for now.
The kids' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly shoved the things into Lin Xuan's hands.
Lin Xuan placed them in the car, planning to send someone to return the items to Jiang Yutong once he got back.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
