"President Su, this is the research lab for the microchip project. I won't go inside; please feel free to look around," the principal said respectfully after leading Su Hua to the laboratory entrance.
"Mm." Su Hua walked into the laboratory.
The principal immediately took out his phone and called his secretary. "Who threw that Master Kong mineral water bottle in the walkway at the entrance of Teaching Building No. 1? Check the surveillance cameras for me immediately. Once you find out who it is, call them to my office!"
It cost him a whole month's bonus! He absolutely had to punish them severely!
Soon, the student who threw the bottle was brought to the principal's office.
Spitting as he spoke, the principal began an endless lecture, fiercely reprimanding the student.
"Principal," the student said, trembling. "I was going to throw that bottle into the trash can, I just didn't know it fell out. I really didn't do it on purpose."
Pointing at the student, the principal said angrily, "How dare you make excuses! Acknowledging one's mistakes and correcting them is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, not to mention! You are a student of the top university in Xia Country, you should be setting a good example..."
The student didn't dare utter a single word.
He had only dropped a mineral water bottle outside, why did it feel like he had committed some heinous crime...
Inside the microchip project laboratory.
Jiang Yutong had been observing Lin Xuan.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was temporarily free, she immediately walked up to him.
"Student Lin Xuan, I've run into some things I don't understand regarding the microchips. Could you teach me?" Jiang Yutong said.
Lin Xuan let out a breath, "Bring it over and let me take a look."
He knew something like this would happen.
In the future, he had to find something for Jiang Yutong to do; he couldn't let her have too much free time.
Lin Xuan glanced at the problem and began to explain it to Jiang Yutong.
The door to the project team's lab was pushed open.
"Click, clack, click." The sound of high heels stepping on the floor rang out.
Su Hua walked in, bathed in the light.
The gazes of the project team members fell upon Su Hua.
"It's President Su. President Su is here," an employee of the Su Group said excitedly.
"I told you so! President Su likes Young Master Lin so much, there's no way she could sit still after hearing that he was being pestered by another woman. President Su is definitely here to declare her sovereignty!"
"Let's wait and watch the good show."
The eyes of those Shangqing University students and the Tianmu Group employees also followed Su Hua's figure as she moved.
A female student said excitedly, "She's here, she's here. We've got a good show to watch!"
"Oh my god, a woman pursuing Lin Xuan and Lin Xuan's current girlfriend, it's an epic showdown!"
They stared intently in the direction of Lin Xuan and Su Hua, not even bearing to blink, afraid they would miss any of the drama.
Lin Xuan was answering Jiang Yutong's questions, leaning in slightly close.
Su Hua narrowed her eyes as she watched this scene, her entire body exuding a dangerous aura.
Jiang Yutong rubbed her arms and frowned, saying, "What's going on? Why did it suddenly get so cold?"
"Achoo!"
"Achoo!"
Lin Xuan also sneezed twice in a row, the veins on his temples throbbing wildly.
What was going on?
Why did he have a very, very bad feeling?
Hearing Lin Xuan's sneezes, Jiang Yutong asked with concern, "Student Lin Xuan, what's wrong? Are you sick? I'll call someone to bring you some medicine."
"I'm..." fine.
But before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, Su Hua's voice rang out.
"There's no need," Su Hua spoke up. "If Xuan is sick, as his girlfriend, I will take Xuan to see a doctor. I won't trouble the Second Miss of the Jiang family."
The students from Shangqing University couldn't help but discuss in low voices.
"I can hear the danger in President Su's voice. Seeing President Jiang and Lin Xuan so close, President Su is definitely jealous!"
"President Jiang is still quite calm. If I were hit by a death glare like that from President Su, I reckon my legs would turn to jelly and I wouldn't even be able to stand."
"Holy crap, I'm getting nervous for President Jiang."
Jiang Yutong frowned in confusion.
Why did she always feel that Little Xuan's girlfriend harbored a huge amount of hostility towards her?
It was like this every time they met.
"Hello, Miss Su."
Jiang Yutong reached out her hand, wanting to shake hands with Su Hua.
Su Hua merely glanced at her hand before retracting her gaze. She walked to Lin Xuan's side and intertwined her fingers with his.
"Second Miss Jiang, I missed my boyfriend, so I came to see him. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to bump into you here," Su Hua said with a faint smile.
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed tightly.
Even though the words Hua said, as well as her tone, were quite normal, why did he still feel like he could smell a strong scent of gunpowder...
"Miss Su, I came here specifically for Student Lin Xuan," Jiang Yutong said.
The raging fires of gossip ignited in the eyes of the students.
Jiang Yutong was going head-to-head with President Su.
Jiang Yutong suddenly remembered the reason she had given Lin Xuan for joining the microchip project when she first entered the team.
Jiang Yutong really wanted to slap herself across the mouth twice.
She had actually let it slip.
Would this leave Little Xuan with a bad impression of her being a liar?
Jiang Yutong initially wanted to explain, but quickly gave up.
Forget it.
She had been pestering Little Xuan all along, so Little Xuan's impression of her these past few days probably wasn't great anyway. One more thing wouldn't make much of a difference.
"Miss Su."
Jiang Yutong smiled and continued, "I know you don't like me, but regarding my relationship with Little Xuan, I want to continue fighting for Little Xuan."
"I hope that my future actions can change your opinion of me. You have to believe that I sincerely and genuinely want what's best for Little Xuan."
"I hope that the two of us can get along peacefully."
Jiang Yutong bowed earnestly to Su Hua.
"Holy crap, President Jiang actually said these things right to President Su's face. She even said she wants to get along peacefully with President Su. Is she trying to serve the same husband alongside President Su?"
"Oh my god, this is too mind-blowing, absolutely mind-blowing! I never expected President Jiang to like Lin Xuan to this extent. She's the Second Miss of the Jiang Group, yet for Lin Xuan's sake, she's willing to serve a man together with another woman."
Lin Jingyue pursed her lips.
With such an outstanding man like Student Lin Xuan, it was quite normal that President Jiang was willing to share and serve him alongside another woman.
If possible, she would want to as well... but she wasn't qualified.
"Do you guys think President Su will agree?"
"She definitely won't agree! However, President Su likes Lin Xuan so much, if Lin Xuan nods, maybe she really would."
The employees of the Su Group rolled their eyes hard upon hearing these words.
They really underestimated President Su's possessiveness over Young Master Lin.
Let alone sharing Young Master Lin with another woman, even if another woman just touched his hand and President Su saw it, she would chop that woman's hand off.
President Su would absolutely, under no circumstances, allow Young Master Lin to have any entanglements with other women.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
