"President Lin." Jiang Manting glanced at the time on her phone and said, "Only five minutes have passed. President Lin, you said you'd give me forty minutes, so there are still thirty-five minutes left."
Lin Xuan: "..."
So she was waiting for him here.
Jiang Manting truly deserved her reputation as an old fox in the business world; even he had been tricked by her.
"Fine." Lin Xuan admitted defeat.
Forget it, he would just listen to what Jiang Manting had to say.
"President Lin, now that we've finished discussing business, I'd like to talk to you about some private matters."
Jiang Manting said, "I know your concerns about not wanting to acknowledge us. You are afraid of being hurt by family ties again, and you're worried about the trouble it might bring, right?"
Lin Xuan remained silent.
Those were indeed the two reasons.
There was another reason: he felt there was no real need to acknowledge the Jiang family.
He felt that his current life was pretty good.
"Little Xuan." Jiang Manting changed how she addressed Lin Xuan. "If you're worried about these things, you really don't need to be. You're an adult now. You can acknowledge us first without investing too much emotion into it."
"If we ever treat you poorly, you can just walk away in time. But we can guarantee that we will never treat you like the Lin family did."
Lin Xuan was silent.
Jiang Manting continued, "Also, Little Xuan, rest assured, we won't bring you any trouble. After you acknowledge us, you can do whatever you want. We will absolutely not interfere with your freedom."
"Little Xuan, you can really try to accept us," Jiang Manting said.
Lin Xuan did not reply to Jiang Manting right away.
What Jiang Manting said addressed exactly what he was concerned about.
He also seemed not to be so resistant to acknowledging the Jiang family anymore.
Jiang Manting was right. Even if the Jiang family treated him badly, he could leave at any time. The Jiang family couldn't restrict him.
Jiang Manting said, "Little Xuan, you don't have to give us an answer in such a hurry. You can think it over carefully."
"Also, Tongtong really hopes to get her brother back. As long as you don't agree, I'm afraid Tongtong won't give up."
Jiang Manting actually wanted to come over and pester Lin Xuan as often as Jiang Yutong did, but she was usually too busy with work.
She could only leave the task of pestering Lin Xuan to Jiang Yutong, though she often provided Jiang Yutong with financial support.
This was fine too.
Once Little Xuan was brought back to the Jiang family, his affection for her, his eldest sister, should be a bit higher than for Tongtong, right?
Su Hua knew that Jiang Yutong had been pestering Lin Xuan, so she sent someone to keep an eye on the entrance of the Tianmu Group.
If Jiang Yutong made any moves, she would be notified immediately.
Her subordinate also reported the news of Jiang Manting's arrival to Su Hua.
Su Hua gripped her pen tightly.
"Heh," a cold sneer tugged at the corners of Su Hua's lips. "This Jiang family really is relentlessly pestering Xuan."
She really wanted to kill them all...
That way, no one would be able to steal Xuan's heart away.
She hoped Xuan would only have her in his heart.
However, she couldn't stop Xuan from acknowledging the Jiang family; she could only find ways to delay the time of their reunion.
Su Hua stood up.
Jiang Qing entered the office and reminded her, "President Su, you have a meeting in fifteen minutes."
Su Hua said, "Cancel the meeting. The time is to be determined. I have something to do and need to go out now."
Jiang Qing asked curiously, "President Su, where are you going?"
Su Hua: "Tianmu Group."
The car drove to the Tianmu Group.
Because of a traffic jam, she arrived at the Tianmu Group thirty minutes later.
"President Su." Lei Hui's secretary saw Su Hua and asked respectfully, "Are you here to see President Lin?"
"Yes."
Su Hua nodded. "Where is Xuan?"
The secretary replied, "The boss is in the reception room discussing a partnership. I'll take you there."
Along the way, Su Hua heard the employees of the Tianmu Group talking about Jiang Yutong sending Lin Xuan twenty birthday gifts.
"You went out to discuss business today, so you didn't see it. Today, the second miss of the Jiang family hired drones to deliver gifts to our boss. She missed twenty-four of the boss's birthdays before, so today she made up for all twenty-four birthday gifts at once."
"Oh right, when the gifts were delivered, there was even a shower of flower petals. That scene was literally a real-life idol drama. It couldn't have been more romantic."
"Damn, that really happened! It seems the second miss of the Jiang family is truly madly in love with our boss. It's just a pity that our boss is already with President Su. This second miss of the Jiang family is destined to never win the boss over."
Hearing their conversation, the secretary felt uneasy and secretly glanced at the expression on Su Hua's face beside her.
Sure enough, Su Hua's face was covered in dark clouds.
The secretary desperately winked at them and kept coughing to remind them.
Those few employees were discussing so enthusiastically that they didn't notice the secretary at all.
Su Hua said coldly, "The employees of Tianmu Group really love discussing their boss's private matters. Is this how your company's management system works?"
"No, no, no."
The secretary hurriedly shook her head and said, "Our company has rules. If anyone privately discusses the boss's personal affairs, half a month's bonus will be deducted."
Su Hua glanced at the secretary and said, "Since this rule has been established, it should be enforced. Don't you think?"
"Yes, yes."
The secretary nodded quickly. "I'll go arrange it right away."
She had to follow the boss's lady's orders.
The secretary immediately picked up her phone and gave the instructions.
Only then did Su Hua withdraw her gaze from the secretary.
The secretary wiped the sweat from her forehead.
President Su's oppressive aura was simply too strong.
If she were stared at any longer, her legs would probably give out.
When Su Hua arrived at the office door, Lin Xuan and Jiang Manting just happened to be coming out of the reception room.
Lin Xuan saw Su Hua: "???"
Wasn't Hua busy at her company?
Why did she come over?
Jiang Manting recognized Su Hua, and her face was also full of surprise.
"President Su, why did you come to Tianmu Group?"
She remembered that the Su Group and Tianmu Group didn't have any partnerships.
Su Hua replied, "I'm here to find my future boyfriend."
Jiang Manting was even more surprised.
President Su actually had a boyfriend.
She had heard this rumor before and thought it was fake, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Also, her grandfather hadn't lied to her.
"President Su, you actually have a boyfriend," Jiang Manting couldn't help but ask. "When did this happen?"
Su Hua: "Two years ago."
Jiang Manting was slightly taken aback.
President Su actually started dating so early.
"President Su, is your boyfriend also an employee of Tianmu Group? You said you came to find him, I wonder where he is?"
Jiang Manting started looking around.
She was very curious. Su Hua must have great taste. Whoever she had liked for two years must be incredibly outstanding.
Su Hua didn't answer Jiang Manting. Instead, she walked up to Lin Xuan and kissed him on the cheek.
"Xuan, I missed you, so I came to see you."
