"Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing kept her head down and continued, "I really want to follow your orders, but President Su is my direct superior. My livelihood depends on her, and I truly cannot go against her words."
"President Su said that if I complain to you again, she will strip me of my position as her secretary."
Lin Xuan let out a breath.
"Forget it."
"I should have known earlier that I couldn't count on you."
Fortunately, Hua's body was still in a steady state of recovery.
Anyway, there wasn't much time left until the one-month mark. He'd better keep a close eye on Hua himself; only then could he feel at ease.
"I will be at the Su Group for the next few days. Just bring the meals directly in here when it's time," Lin Xuan ordered.
"Yes, Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing respectfully agreed.
She returned to her desk.
Her assistant asked curiously, "Secretary Jiang, what's wrong? Why the long face?"
Jiang Qing said faintly, "It's nothing. I just feel like I've become a part of President Su and Young Master Lin's roleplay."
Jiang Qing took out her phone and sent a message to Su Hua.
[President Su, Young Master Lin just asked me about your meals and rest recently. I told him exactly what you instructed. He said he will be staying at the Su Group for the time being. He probably wants to supervise you closely.]
[Got it.] Su Hua replied in seconds. [Good job. Your bonus will be doubled this month.]
[Thank you, President Su!]
Jiang Qing's face was full of excitement.
Double the bonus, not bad at all!
She could rebuild Young Master Lin's trust in her later, but this bonus was real money in her pocket!
Lin Xuan returned to the office.
Su Hua was a bit nervous.
Could it be... Xuan is angry again.
Lin Xuan didn't say anything and just sat on the sofa. Seeing him like this, Su Hua felt even more uneasy.
She remembered a saying on the internet: the calm before the storm...
Lin Xuan noticed Su Hua staring at him from time to time. He frowned, "Hua, what's wrong?"
Su Hua could tell that Lin Xuan wasn't angry, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"It's nothing." The expression on her face returned to calm. She looked at Lin Xuan and said, "I just think Xuan is especially handsome, so I wanted to look at my Xuan a bit more."
"Ahem."
Lin Xuan coughed lightly.
Hua was really getting better and better at sweet-talking.
Lin Xuan changed the subject, "Hua, let me help you look over the documents. Maybe I can be of some help."
"Okay," Su Hua nodded.
And so, the two of them sat together at the desk, processing the documents.
Over the next few days.
Lin Xuan accompanied Su Hua to and from work every day.
Jiang Yutong called a student from the microchip project team, "Has Lin Xuan gone to the lab yet?"
"No," the student shook his head.
"Alright," Jiang Yutong nodded. "If Little Xuan goes to the lab, remember to contact me immediately."
"Understood, President Jiang."
The student nodded.
Worried that he might not be diligent enough, Jiang Yutong transferred ten thousand yuan to him.
"This is extra compensation for you. When Xuan goes to school, report it to me promptly, and there will be plenty of benefits for you."
The student from Shangqing University looked at the transfer, grinning from ear to ear.
As long as Lin Xuan came to the lab, just sending a message to President Jiang would earn him tens of thousands.
This money was simply too easy to make!
Jiang Yutong put down her phone, her brows tightly furrowed.
Little Xuan just so happened to never come to school, nor did he go to the Tianmu Group.
She wondered if it was because she had been pestering him so much that he got annoyed and was deliberately avoiding her.
"Getting him to acknowledge me as his sister is so hard."
Jiang Yutong slumped dejectedly in her chair.
"President Jiang, the company has a team-building event tonight. Do you want to go?" her secretary asked.
"I'm not going."
Jiang Yutong said listlessly.
She really wasn't in the mood.
She'd rather go have a few drinks.
Jiang Yutong used to go to bars to drink quite often and was considered a regular.
She had a high alcohol tolerance and rarely got drunk. She also had some martial arts skills, so she didn't have to worry about any blind fools bothering her at the bar.
The members of the Night Rose gang looked excited when they saw Jiang Yutong walk into the bar.
She's here.
After staking out for so long, they finally found an opportunity to catch Jiang Yutong.
The leader of the Night Rose members instructed, "Later, keep your movements quiet. Try not to attract anyone's attention, and also, don't hurt her."
The other Night Rose members were a bit confused.
"The task our leader arranged this time is really strange. She clearly dislikes her so much, yet she won't allow us to hurt her. We're catching her just to scare her?"
Strange, it was truly too strange.
Their Night Rose gang was known in the underworld for killing without blinking an eye. Since when had their methods become so gentle?
"The leader must have her own plans. We just need to do as we're told," the leader said.
They continued to keep an eye on Jiang Yutong.
By 8:40 PM, Jiang Yutong was still not drunk.
"Her alcohol tolerance is pretty good. Looks like we need to use some special tech on her," the leader said.
Their gang had a type of drug that, when put into alcohol, was colorless and odorless. It wouldn't cause any harm to the human body, but it could make someone get drunk very quickly.
A Night Rose member disguised himself as a waiter and delivered the spiked drink.
After drinking a glass, Jiang Yutong felt herself getting a bit drunk.
"Strange."
"Why is the alcohol so strong today? I'm getting drunk so easily."
Jiang Yutong didn't drink anymore. She called a servant from the Jiang family to come pick her up.
Little did she know, that servant had already been dealt with by the Night Rose members.
One of them, who looked kind and amiable, disguised himself as a servant and came up to Jiang Yutong, stepping forward to support her.
"Second Miss, I'm here to take you home," the man said.
Jiang Yutong looked at him drunkenly, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Second Miss, I'm new here. Old Wang couldn't make it because he has an upset stomach, so he asked me to come pick you up," he said very sincerely.
Even a sober person would find it hard to tell if he was telling the truth, let alone the heavily intoxicated Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong was helped into the car.
They contacted Jiang Qing, "Jiang Yutong has been captured by us."
"Good," Jiang Qing nodded. "Remember, your goal is to intimidate her. Don't hurt her in the slightest."
Young Master Lin's Golden Dragon Gang was quite powerful.
If anything happened to Jiang Yutong, Young Master Lin would definitely investigate.
If he found out that President Su hired someone to do it, it would definitely affect the relationship between Young Master Lin and President Su.
That wouldn't do.
She absolutely would not allow anything to happen that could affect the relationship between President Su and Young Master Lin.
The two of them must be firmly tied together.
"We understand that," the man asked curiously again. "But why does the leader have such a strange request?"
Jiang Qing said expressionlessly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't know."
With that, she hung up the phone.
