Shen Qianqian wanted to rush forward and curse Su Hua, but then she thought of her father. If she caused trouble at Su Corporation again, her father would not let her off the hook.
Shen Qianqian forcefully suppressed the impulse in her heart.
Shen Mao returned and, looking at Su Hua's retreating figure, frowned and asked, "Qianqian, is that person Su Hua?"
"No, just a vixen. There's no way she could be Su Hua," Shen Qianqian said with a dismissive pout.
Shen Mao, observing Shen Qianqian's expression, frowned and asked, "Is she the one who offended you?"
"Yes," Shen Qianqian nodded. "Dad, she's too arrogant. I really can't swallow this insult."
Shen Mao gently patted Shen Qianqian's head.
"Qianqian, dealing with someone doesn't always have to be done openly. You can teach her a lesson in secret."
He also deeply despised the woman Shen Qianqian had mentioned. Not only had she made his precious daughter suffer, but she had also caused Shen Corporation to lose its collaboration with Su Corporation.
"Dad, what do you mean…?"
Shen Mao smiled and replied, "I'll arrange some people for you. You can secretly send someone to teach her a lesson."
"Thank you, Dad," Shen Qianqian's eyes sparkled.
Finally, she could give that woman some payback.
Shen Mao and Shen Qianqian waited until almost noon when Lin Xuan walked into Su Corporation carrying a lunchbox.
Shen Qianqian's eyes lit up.
It's Lin Xuan!
Shen Qianqian excitedly ran up to Lin Xuan. "Lin Xuan, it's so great to see you again!"
"Lin Xuan, I haven't seen you since the computer competition ended. I've missed you so much."
Shen Qianqian shyly lowered her head, her heart pounding wildly.
Lin Xuan was just too handsome.
Even just a glance from him made her heart race.
Lin Xuan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
Why was Shen Qianqian still so persistent?
"You're Lin Xuan, right?"
Shen Mao also approached Lin Xuan and extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Shen Mao, Qianqian's father and the chairman of Shen Corporation."
"Mm," Lin Xuan nodded indifferently, not shaking Shen Mao's hand.
Shen Mao's expression darkened slightly.
He continued, "Young Master Lin, I heard that you led your team to first place in the National College Computer Team Competition and even broke a record with your individual score. Truly impressive for someone so young."
"Thank you for the praise," Lin Xuan's tone remained indifferent.
Shen Mao's friendly demeanor began to falter.
Lin Xuan had repeatedly brushed him off!
"Young Master Lin," Shen Mao took a deep breath and continued in a friendly tone, "My daughter admires you greatly. Could you perhaps teach her some computer skills in your spare time?"
Shen Qianqian blushed.
If Lin Xuan agreed, she would have countless opportunities to spend time with him.
Proximity breeds affection, and Lin Xuan would surely fall for her.
She wondered if Lin Xuan would agree.
A hint of anticipation rose on Shen Qianqian's face.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, but I have a girlfriend. She doesn't want me getting too close to other women. You should find someone else," Lin Xuan refused him.
Shen Qianqian's eyes instantly turned red.
Lin Xuan had rejected her advances once again.
Why couldn't he just look at her more?
"Mr. Shen, I'll give you some friendly advice: keep your daughter in check. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what might happen."
Lin Xuan walked past Shen Mao, carrying the lunchbox, and entered the elevator.
Shen Mao stood there, stunned.
Lin Xuan had a girlfriend?
Shen Qianqian looked at the lunchbox in Lin Xuan's hand with jealousy.
He must be delivering lunch to that woman.
How could that flirtatious vixen deserve such devotion from Lin Xuan?
If she were Lin Xuan's girlfriend, she would cherish him properly, not go around flirting with others.
Coming back to his senses, Shen Mao instinctively looked at Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian avoided his gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.
After waiting a while longer, Shen Mao realized that continuing to wait would likely yield no results.
"Let's go," Shen Mao said sternly.
When they reached the entrance of Su Corporation, Shen Qianqian hesitated and asked, "Dad, aren't we going to wait for Su Hua?"
"What's the point?" Shen Mao's expression was grim. "It's clear she doesn't want to deal with us. Even if we meet her, it would be the same outcome."
Indeed, Su Hua was as unyielding as the rumors said, with no room for compromise in her eyes.
Now, the collaboration between Shen Corporation and Su Corporation was completely off the table.
The days ahead would be tough for Shen Corporation.
If Shen Qianqian weren't his only child, and one he had doted on since she was young, he might have lost his temper and struck her by now.
Shen Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
At least she didn't have to apologize.
But… now that her father knew about Lin Xuan's girlfriend, would he try to stop her from pursuing him?
Shen Qianqian followed Shen Mao back to the Shen residence, her heart filled with worry.
Shen Mao turned around, his face dark as he looked at Shen Qianqian. "Lin Xuan has a girlfriend. Did you know?"
"Yes," Shen Qianqian answered softly, lowering her head.
"Since you knew, why did you still pursue him?" Shen Mao was furious. "I'm the chairman of Shen Corporation! Even if Lin Xuan is talented, he's nothing compared to Shen Corporation. Why should my daughter stoop to being a homewrecker?"
"Dad, Lin Xuan is just temporarily blinded by that vixen," Shen Qianqian said tearfully.
Once Lin Xuan fell for her, he would break up with that woman.
She wasn't really a homewrecker.
"Shen Qianqian!" Shen Mao shouted. "How dare you talk back!"
Shen Qianqian lowered her head.
She was only speaking the truth.
Shen Mao said coldly, "From now on, you are not to have any contact with Lin Xuan. Do you understand?"
"I understand," Shen Qianqian whispered.
"Alright, go eat," Shen Mao said, his tone softening.
Shen Qianqian clenched her fists.
Give up?
How could she give up?
She couldn't lose to that woman. She had to snatch Lin Xuan away from her.
"By the way, Dad," Shen Qianqian asked cautiously while eating, "When will you arrange for people to deal with that woman?"
"In a while," Shen Mao explained. "I've been busy lately and can't spare too many people."
"But…"
Shen Qianqian wanted to say more, but Shen Mao cut her off.
"Qianqian, remember that revenge is a dish best served cold."
"Mm, I understand," Shen Qianqian said, pursing her lips.
That woman could enjoy her arrogance for a little longer.
Once her father assigned her the people, she would make sure that woman suffered beyond imagination!
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
