"The Alliance Leader must have her reasons for doing this. We just need to follow her orders."
The members of Night Rose rubbed their hands together in eager anticipation, all of them wanting to teach Jiang Yutong a severe lesson.
Jiang Yutong was still in the chip project group, listening to Lin Xuan answer her questions.
Her temples throbbed wildly.
Why did she feel like she was being targeted by someone?
Inside the CEO's office of the Su Group.
Su Hua thought of something and picked up the phone again. "Secretary Jiang, come in for a moment."
"President Su."
Jiang Qing came in with her heart in her throat once more. "Do you have any other instructions?"
Su Hua said, "Call Xuan and continue to complain to him."
"But, President Su, it's not time yet," Jiang Qing frowned and said.
Su Hua glanced at the clock on the wall.
It was indeed not time yet.
She frowned and said, "Wait, move the afternoon's business meeting forward. I'll go attend it shortly, and when the time comes, tell Xuan that I've been drinking."
Xuan had never said she couldn't drink. Drinking shouldn't be a big deal for her body.
However, Xuan had always disliked her drinking. Presumably, Xuan would quickly leave Shangqing University and rush over to see her.
This way, Jiang Yutong wouldn't be able to keep pestering Xuan today.
A dark glint flashed across Su Hua's eyes.
"Understood, President Su." Jiang Qing nodded in compliance.
Why hadn't she realized before that President Su had so many schemes up her sleeve?
It was just that all these schemes were exclusively used on Young Master Lin.
"President Su, I'll speak with the business partner to move this afternoon's meeting forward."
Since the other party was begging to collaborate with the Su Group, when Jiang Qing called, they agreed without a second word.
"No problem, Secretary Jiang. Just let President Su know that I'm heading out right now," Chairman Chen said.
Jiang Qing smiled and said, "Then, Chairman Chen, I'll leave it in your hands."
"No trouble at all, it's a piece of cake," Chairman Chen said flatteringly.
Jiang Qing put away her phone and returned to the office.
"President Su, it has been arranged," Jiang Qing said respectfully.
"Mhm." Su Hua nodded.
She stood up, "Let's head out now."
When Chairman Chen arrived at the hotel, he found that Su Hua was already sitting at the dining table waiting.
He froze.
How did President Su get here so quickly?
"President Su." Chairman Chen walked over. "I didn't know you were already here. Had I known, I would have set off earlier. I'm truly sorry for keeping you waiting," he said obsequiously.
Su Hua said faintly, "I just arrived as well."
The waiter came over with the alcohol.
Chairman Chen frowned and instructed, "President Su doesn't drink. Go fetch some of your hotel's best tea."
Su Hua spoke expressionlessly, "There's no need. Today, I want to drink alcohol."
"Ah?" Chairman Chen looked at Su Hua, who was pouring herself a drink, and was slightly taken aback.
Didn't rumors say that President Su never touched a drop of alcohol?
Not only was she drinking, but she was also drinking high-proof liquor. It seemed the rumors were untrustworthy.
Then could it be that the rumor about her keeping away from men was also false...
Chairman Chen began to calculate in his mind.
As it happened, he had a nephew who was highly capable, extremely handsome, and had a top-tier physique.
If he could get together with President Su, then his company would have absolutely no worries about its future development.
Chairman Chen quietly sent a message to his nephew.
[Xiao Wei, haven't you always admired President Su? Do you want to be with her? I'm currently discussing business with her. Come to the Junlan Hotel immediately, Room 888.]
Chen Wei's eyes lit up.
He replied to Chairman Chen, [Uncle, I happen to be near the Junlan Hotel. I'll head over right now.]
He had seen President Su once, and ever since that single encounter, he had been constantly yearning for her.
Now that there was an opportunity to become President Su's man, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
Su Hua picked up the glass and took a small sip.
Her brows furrowed slightly; then she lifted the glass and downed it all in one gulp.
Jiang Qing had just answered a phone call.
As soon as she finished, she saw that the glass in front of Su Hua was completely empty.
She was stunned. "President Su, you drank it all?"
Su Hua did not answer.
Chairman Chen smiled and said, "Yes, she drank it all. President Su really has a great capacity for liquor."
"We're doomed."
Jiang Qing felt a bit of despair.
President Su would probably get drunk again soon, and a drunk President Su was only marginally better than when she had one of her episodes.
"Chairman Chen," Jiang Qing said quickly. "Please keep an eye on President Su for me. I need to step out for a moment. If anything happens with her, remember to contact me immediately."
She needed to hurry and call Young Master Lin over.
Just in case someone provoked President Su, only Young Master Lin could save the day.
"Alright."
Chairman Chen nodded.
Jiang Qing grabbed her phone and hurriedly walked out.
Chairman Chen furrowed his brows in confusion. Why was Secretary Jiang in such a rush? What was she going to do?
Meanwhile.
Jiang Qing called and contacted Lin Xuan.
Jiang Yutong had brought yet another question to ask Lin Xuan.
"Wait a moment," Lin Xuan said to Jiang Yutong.
"Okay," Jiang Yutong nodded.
Lin Xuan answered the phone.
"Secretary Jiang, is something the matter?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Young Master Lin, it's extremely urgent!" Jiang Qing's anxious voice came through the phone. "President Su has been drinking! She drank a glass of baijiu; she's definitely going to get drunk!"
Lin Xuan frowned.
He remembered the last time Hua got drunk, which was almost two years ago. At that time, a man tried to assault Hua, and Hua beat him up severely, even taking down the entire group of security guards.
Lin Xuan could no longer sit still.
"Secretary Jiang, send me the address. I'll head over right now," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay."
Jiang Qing sent the location and room number to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan put away his phone and spoke, "Miss Jiang, I have an urgent matter to attend to right now. If you have any more questions, you can ask the others in the lab, or you can send them to me."
"Alright then." Jiang Yutong looked listless.
Lin Xuan left in a hurry.
Jiang Yutong watched Lin Xuan's retreating back with reluctance.
Now that Little Xuan had left, who knew when they would meet again.
Sigh.
This was too hard.
If only she knew where Little Xuan lived. Unfortunately, no matter how she investigated, she couldn't find out.
Furthermore, Little Xuan left this time because of his girlfriend.
Why did she always feel like Little Xuan's girlfriend was intentionally calling him away, just to prevent him from interacting with her?
However, that was probably unlikely.
She was Little Xuan's older cousin, not a romantic rival or anything. Why would Little Xuan's girlfriend stop her from interacting with him?
Since Lin Xuan was no longer in the lab, Jiang Yutong also packed up her things and returned to her company.
Upon returning to the company this time, Jiang Yutong remained just as listless.
"Why do I feel like President Jiang has looked like she's going through a breakup these past few days?"
The employees gossiped curiously.
"Right, right, right! I get that feeling too. There's definitely something going on with President Jiang!"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot?

If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor.
