"Secretary Jiang, I have something important to tell you regarding Young Master Lin," the employee said over the phone.
Jiang Qing frowned.
She remembered that this employee had been assigned to Shangqing University to help Young Master Lin with the research for the chip and lithography machine project.
Why was he calling her?
"What is it about Young Master Lin? Tell me," Jiang Qing said.
The employee was just about to answer when Su Hua walked by. Frowning deeply, she asked, "Xuan?"
Jiang Qing answered respectfully, "Yes, President Su. An employee sent to Tianmu Group to research the chip project called me, saying there is something important to report regarding Young Master Lin."
Su Hua said expressionlessly, "Give me the phone."
"Yes."
Jiang Qing respectfully placed the phone into Su Hua's hand.
Su Hua took the phone and asked blankly, "What's the matter with Xuan?"
The Su Group employee answered, "It's like this, President Su. Someone specifically donated tens of millions to Shangqing University."
Su Hua frowned.
The principal of Shangqing University had reported this to her. At the time, she had said to let Xuan handle the arrangements for this matter.
The Su Group employee continued, "Her only condition for donating ninety million for the teaching building and educational equipment was to be allowed to join the chip project team to do research."
"President Su, she must be here for Young Master Lin. Basically, she only comes over when Young Master Lin is in the lab. If he isn't there, she leaves immediately."
"Also, when Young Master Lin is in the lab, she finds all sorts of excuses to pester him and strike up conversations. Everyone is saying that she likes Young Master Lin and wants to hook up with him."
He felt the same way.
Between adult men and women, it was usually about romance. Especially for someone like Jiang Yutong, who spent so much money on Lin Xuan—if someone said she didn't like Young Master Lin, he wouldn't believe it.
Su Hua gripped the phone tightly and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I understand."
After hanging up, the Su Group employee muttered, "Young Master Lin, you're on your own now. Good luck. I didn't mean to report this to President Su on purpose, but I'm really afraid that Jiang Yutong might actually use some underhanded tricks to snatch you away."
If Young Master Lin ran off to be with President Jiang, then President Su would definitely revert to her former temperamental self—the domineering female boss who constantly made them work overtime.
No, President Su would become even worse.
And they would be dragged back into their former hellish lives.
Therefore, they absolutely had to keep a close eye on Young Master Lin. They couldn't let any woman snatch him away.
Back here.
At the entrance of the Su Group's president's office.
Standing to the side, Jiang Qing had also overheard a bit of the conversation between Su Hua and the Su Group employee.
"President Su," Jiang Qing said, "Young Master Lin has always been unwilling to acknowledge the Second Miss of the Jiang family. The Second Miss probably wants to use this method to make Young Master Lin acknowledge her."
This Jiang Yutong was really going all out to make Young Master Lin acknowledge her as his sister.
Su Hua spoke expressionlessly, "Come with me for a moment."
"Yes."
Jiang Qing complied respectfully and followed Su Hua into the president's office.
"President Su, what are your orders?" Jiang Qing asked.
Su Hua said in a low voice, "Send someone to capture her."
Jiang Qing knew Su Hua was talking about Jiang Yutong.
"President Su," Jiang Qing said hesitantly. "Even though Young Master Lin hasn't acknowledged the Second Miss of the Jiang family yet, she is still his biological older cousin. If Young Master Lin finds out..."
Su Hua's eyes darkened.
If she hadn't been afraid of Xuan finding out, she would have dealt with her long ago.
"Just do it," Su Hua said.
"Yes."
Jiang Qing could only agree.
Su Hua then instructed, "Just capture her, give her a good scare, and lock her up for the night. You don't need to do anything else."
If anything serious were to happen to Jiang Yutong, Xuan would definitely investigate it to the bitter end.
Xuan was too capable. As long as she left even the slightest clue, Xuan would likely find out.
She couldn't take that risk.
"Understood, President Su," Jiang Qing respectfully agreed, a look of realization appearing on her face.
When President Su first gave the order, she was still wondering: wasn't President Su afraid that Young Master Lin would find out if she went after Jiang Yutong?
So it turned out that President Su didn't dare to get real; she just wanted to scare her.
"Do it cleanly. Don't let the Jiang family or Xuan trace it back to us," Su Hua urged.
"President Su, you can rest assured, we will definitely be careful," Jiang Yutong said.
"Also, once Jiang Yutong is captured, contact me immediately," Su Hua ordered.
"President Su, are you going to deal with Jiang Yutong personally?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
"No."
Su Hua narrowed her eyes.
Once Jiang Yutong was captured, she was going to lure Xuan into bed. That way, Xuan wouldn't know about Jiang Yutong being captured, much less send people to look for her.
Had she guessed wrong?
Jiang Yutong's face was full of confusion.
Since President Su had no intention of scaring Jiang Yutong personally, why did President Su want to be informed immediately?
Su Hua said expressionlessly, "That's all for now. You can head out."
"Yes." Jiang Qing retreated from the office.
Su Hua recalled the phone call the Su Group employee had made to Jiang Qing.
She pursed her lips, a storm brewing in her eyes.
She had thought Jiang Yutong was merely sending things to the Tianmu Group. She hadn't expected her to chase him all the way to the university.
Very well then.
Su Hua unlocked her phone and logged into the university's forum.
On the forum, there was a pile of threads discussing the matter between Jiang Yutong and Lin Xuan.
[I asked a friend in the chip project team, and she said that when Lin Xuan is with the team, Jiang Yutong constantly pesters him with all sorts of questions. She absolutely, definitely likes Lin Xuan. She's pursuing him right now.]
[I'm really curious if Jiang Yutong knows that Lin Xuan is already with President Su.]
[Of course she knows. With so many people in the university, someone would definitely tell her. Besides, when you like someone, you definitely try everything to learn all about them. So Jiang Yutong must have investigated whether Lin Xuan has a girlfriend at the university.]
[Jiang Yutong knows Lin Xuan has a girlfriend, yet she's still pursuing him. Doesn't that mean she wants to be the other woman?]
Jiang Yutong was, after all, the Second Miss of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family's wealth ranked in the top ten in the Xia Country, and their military and political influence was absurdly strong. With Jiang Yutong's status, for her to stoop to being the other woman was truly unimaginable.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
