"Why did Miss Shen want Su Corporation to fire me?" Su Hua asked, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Because you offended me," Shen Qianqian replied haughtily.
"Did I?" Su Hua raised an elegant eyebrow. "But I haven't exchanged a single word with you recently. So, how could I have possibly offended you, Miss Shen?"
"I said you did, so you did," Shen Qianqian sneered. "There were no surveillance cameras in that area, so you thought you could get away with it, didn't you?"
"But what you didn't expect is that I'm the only daughter of the chairman of Shen Corporation."
Shen Qianqian lifted her chin proudly.
Her father had always told her she had nothing to fear because she was Shen Mao's daughter.
If anyone dared to cross her, she could retaliate without hesitation—her father would always have her back.
She wanted this woman to know the consequences of trying to steal Lin Xuan from her.
"Oh, is that so?" Su Hua chuckled softly, her voice laced with cold amusement.
Jiang Qing was stunned.
Shen Qianqian had the audacity to barge into Su Corporation and demand that they fire their own CEO.
Not only that, but she was also slandering Su Hua.
How bold.
"Shen Corporation is one of the top companies in Yundu City. Even Su Corporation has to show us some respect. Oh, and by the way, Shen Corporation is also one of Su Corporation's major clients. All I need to do is say the word, and you'll be fired," Shen Qianqian declared arrogantly.
Jiang Qing: "???"
Another spoiled brat.
Shen Qianqian probably had no idea how much her father had bent over backward to secure Su Corporation's technical support.
A significant part of Shen Corporation's current success was due to the technology provided by Su Corporation.
Now, all that hard-earned collaboration was about to go up in smoke.
"So, Su Corporation and Shen Corporation have a partnership," Su Hua murmured with a low laugh, her voice dripping with icy disdain.
When she had investigated Shen Qianqian earlier, she had overlooked Shen Corporation.
But now that she knew about the partnership... well, there was no need for it to continue.
"Exactly!" Shen Qianqian lifted her chin again. "If you know what's good for you, stay away from Lin Xuan. If you do, I might let you off the hook. Otherwise, I'll have you kicked out of Su Corporation, and I'll make sure you can't survive in Yundu City!"
This was Shen Qianqian's usual tactic. She had once used Chen Yu's father's job to threaten Chen Yu.
"Let's see you try," Su Hua replied calmly, taking a sip of her red wine.
Shen Qianqian clenched her fists.
Why did she feel like this vixen never took her seriously? In front of Su Hua, she felt like a clown.
Her heart sank further.
"Fine, fine! If you insist on clinging to Lin Xuan, don't blame me for what happens next!" Shen Qianqian sneered.
She turned to Jiang Qing. "Secretary Jiang, go tell your CEO to fire her immediately!"
"If you don't, Shen Corporation will terminate its partnership with Su Corporation!"
Shen Qianqian thought her threat would force Jiang Qing to submit.
But Jiang Qing, having received Su Hua's silent approval, smiled slightly and said, "It seems Shen Corporation no longer wishes to cooperate with us. In that case, I'll send someone to your company to formally terminate the partnership."
Shen Qianqian's eyes widened in shock.
Was this secretary really suggesting that Su Corporation would sacrifice their partnership with Shen Corporation just to protect this woman?
"You're just a lowly secretary. Who gave you the authority to make such decisions?" Shen Qianqian snapped.
"That's true. I am just a lowly secretary," Jiang Qing replied, her smile unwavering. "I don't have the authority, but don't worry, Miss Shen. I'll consult with CEO Su before making any decisions."
"You—"
Shen Qianqian's face turned red with anger.
Suddenly, she seemed to have an epiphany and let out a cold laugh.
"I get it now!"
"She must have seduced someone high up in your company, and that's why you're protecting her!"
"Who would have thought that the top company in Yundu City would stoop to such favoritism!"
Jiang Qing: "..."
This girl was truly delusional.
Who would have thought the chairman of Shen Corporation had raised such a fool?
"I'm going back to tell my father to cancel the partnership. A company like yours isn't worth Shen Corporation's time!"
Shen Qianqian grabbed her Chanel bag, stomped out in her high heels, and left in a huff.
Su Hua remained seated on the sofa, leisurely sipping her red wine.
Jiang Qing, observing Su Hua's calm demeanor, couldn't help but feel curious.
In the past, Su Hua would get jealous whenever another woman showed interest in Lin Xuan, and her darker, possessive side would emerge.
But this time, even though Shen Qianqian had come to the company and demanded that Su Hua break up with Lin Xuan, Su Hua remained completely unruffled.
This was completely out of character for her.
"CEO Su, how do you plan to handle the situation with Shen Qianqian?"
"Just as you said—terminate the partnership with them," Su Hua replied, her beautiful eyes glinting with cold resolve.
"Understood, CEO Su," Jiang Qing nodded.
"Also, send a message to Shen Mao. Tell him to teach his daughter some manners."
Su Hua lowered her gaze.
She really wanted to send Shen Qianqian far away—or even eliminate her.
But for now, she couldn't. She didn't want Lin Xuan to see her as too ruthless.
However, she would quietly work behind the scenes to dismantle Shen Corporation piece by piece.
Anyone who dared to covet her Lin Xuan would have to pay the price.
Su Hua raised her glass and drained the last of her red wine.
After leaving the reception room, Jiang Qing immediately set aside her other tasks and began arranging everything as Su Hua had instructed.
Meanwhile, Shen Qianqian left Su Corporation and intended to head straight to Shen Corporation.
But a friend invited her to a gathering, so she decided to attend the party first.
She loved basking in the admiration of her peers.
At Shen Corporation, the secretary rushed into the chairman's office.
"How's the renewal contract with Su Corporation coming along?" Shen Mao asked.
"It's not ready yet," the secretary replied.
"Why isn't it done yet?" Shen Mao frowned. "Do you realize how important this partnership is to Shen Corporation? The draft should have been prepared days ago so we could review and revise it."
"Chairman," the secretary hesitated, "Su Corporation just sent someone over. They said... they said..."
"What did they say?" Shen Mao's frown deepened.
"They said..." The secretary took a deep breath. "Starting today, Su Corporation is terminating its partnership with Shen Corporation. They'll be sending a team over to remove all of Su Corporation's technology."
