The executives pricked up their ears.
It was a man. His voice was quite pleasant, but Su Hua was known to keep men at arm's length. No matter how nice the voice, it wouldn’t sway her.
Right now, Su Hua was in a rage, and this man had undoubtedly walked straight into the line of fire.
The executives silently lit a candle for Lin Xuan in their hearts.
But then! Su Hua, who had been exuding an icy aura as if ready to destroy the world, suddenly softened.
Everyone: “???” What just happened?
Su Hua picked up her phone and said gently, “Wait a moment.”
The executives widened their eyes in shock. Su Hua, being this gentle?
Astonishing!
Su Hua spoke calmly, “Take a break for now. I need to take this call.”
She walked out of the meeting room with her phone in hand.
As soon as Su Hua left, the executives erupted into chaos.
All professionalism vanished!
Now, they resembled a group of gossiping elders sitting at the village entrance.
“What’s going on? What’s going on? Why did Su Hua suddenly become so gentle and sweet? I’m not used to this.”
“The voice on the phone sounded like a young man, and judging by the tone, he’s probably good-looking. Could it be that Su Hua has a boyfriend?”
“A boyfriend? Impossible. Su Hua is so detached. Countless men have tried to get close to her, but have any of them even touched a corner of her sleeve?”
“Honestly, I think this might be the real deal!”
“Hey, do you think if Su Hua starts dating, she’d be the one dominating or the one being dominated?”
“Su Hua is so strong-willed. She’d definitely be the one dominating!”
“I’m not so sure. Did you see how tender she just became? No matter how strong a woman is, she’ll turn soft in front of the man she loves.”
They debated fervently.
Most of them still believed that even if this man was indeed Su Hua’s, he was likely just a kept man, someone to satisfy her physical needs.
Su Hua was the type of person who lived for her work and would never let herself get entangled in emotions.
In Su Hua’s office.
Su Hua’s voice was soft, “Lin Xuan, I’m done. What did you need?”
This was the first time Lin Xuan had actively called her, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
“Were you working just now?” Lin Xuan asked with a frown.
“Yes, I was in a meeting,” Su Hua replied.
“It’s noon already. You should eat. Su Hua, take care of your health,” Lin Xuan reminded her.
“Mhm,” Su Hua’s eyes curved into a smile.
This version of him was so good.
She wished he would stay like this forever.
Otherwise…
A hint of ferocity flashed in Su Hua’s eyes.
Even if she had to break his limbs, she would keep him by her side.
If he tried to end his life, she would let him die, then turn his body into a specimen to accompany her. Or perhaps, she’d consume his ashes, so they could become one.
Lin Xuan said, “Are you at the company? I’ll come over.”
Su Hua was about to nod when she remembered Jiang Qing’s words.
Men shouldn’t be pushed too hard. They need space.
But she couldn’t bear to refuse him.
Su Hua remained silent for a long time.
Lin Xuan, not hearing a response, asked with concern, “Su Hua?”
Su Hua finally spoke, pinching the bridge of her nose, “You don’t need to come. I’m a bit tired and want to take a nap at the office.”
“Then make sure you eat on time,” Lin Xuan insisted.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Su Hua’s lips curled into a smile.
After hanging up, she returned to the meeting room with her phone in hand.
The heated discussion among the executives came to an abrupt halt the moment Su Hua walked in.
Su Hua took her seat at the head of the table.
“Manager Lin,” her voice was noticeably less stern than before.
“Yes, Su Hua,” the project manager wiped sweat from his brow.
Su Hua tossed the project proposal he had submitted onto the table.
“Go back and revise it. Work overtime if you have to. I want it on my desk in five days.”
The project manager was stunned.
That’s it?
Su Hua frowned, “Any questions?”
“No, Su Hua. I’ll make sure to do thorough research and deliver a solid project plan,” the project manager quickly shook his head.
“That’s all for today. Meeting adjourned,” Su Hua stood up from her chair.
“Su Hua, if I may ask, what’s the relationship between you and the man you were speaking to earlier? Is he a subordinate, or…” one executive dared to ask.
All eyes turned to Su Hua.
Their eyes gleamed with curiosity!
Su Hua glanced at the executive.
The executive wiped the sweat from his forehead. He must have lost his mind to pry into Su Hua’s personal affairs.
As the executive trembled with fear, Su Hua spoke gently, “He’s my man.”
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
