"Young Master Lin, I may not work at your company, but I do work at your wife's company. If you help me solve these technical issues, it would greatly benefit Su Corporation," Shao Xingfan said with a smile.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
That did seem to be the case.
Though Shao Xingfan was just an assistant, his exceptional computer skills meant he handled critical tasks at Su Corporation. The technical problems he mentioned were likely related to the company's operations.
"Laptop," Lin Xuan extended his hand.
"Right away, Young Master Lin."
Shao Xingfan respectfully handed over the laptop.
Lin Xuan placed it on his lap, his fingers flying across the keyboard with practiced ease.
Standing nearby, Shao Xingfan watched with a bright grin.
Bringing up Su Hua had worked like a charm!
From now on, he was officially the ultimate fan of Su Hua and Young Master Lin's relationship. If anyone dared to come between them or break them apart—
He’d make them regret it!
While Lin Xuan was busy solving the programming issues, Su Hua finished her meeting and stepped into the office.
Her brows knitted when she spotted Shao Xingfan inside.
"What are you doing here?"
She hadn’t checked the surveillance feed during the meeting, and now he’d slipped in unnoticed.
"President Su," Shao Xingfan replied respectfully, "I had some technical questions for Young Master Lin."
Su Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously. "You couldn’t figure them out yourself?"
Shao Xingfan rubbed his arms—why did it suddenly feel so cold?
"No, I couldn’t. I’ve been stuck on these for a while," he answered honestly, oblivious to the brewing storm. "Young Master Lin’s expertise is unmatched, so when I saw he was here, I thought I’d ask for his help."
"Figure it out yourself."
Su Hua snatched the laptop and tossed it back at him.
"My company doesn’t employ people who rely on others," she said icily.
Shao Xingfan flinched at her tone.
"Understood, President Su. I’ll leave right away."
Lin Xuan considered speaking up in his defense, but one glance at Su Hua’s frosty expression made him swallow his words.
Oh well.
He wasn’t exactly upset that his wife had just rid him of a nuisance.
Once outside the office, Shao Xingfan stared at the closed door and muttered, "Everyone says President Su is in a better mood whenever Young Master Lin visits, but she seemed more like she’d swallowed gunpowder today."
Where was this so-called "good mood"?
Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow. "Assistant Shao, did President Su just kick you out?"
Shao Xingfan blinked. "How did you know?"
Jiang Qing smirked. "You interrupted their alone time. Did you really expect her to be happy about it?"
"Oh…" Realization dawned on him.
He glanced wistfully at his laptop.
No chance of getting those problems solved today. Who knew when Young Master Lin would visit Su Corporation again? And even if he did, with President Su around, approaching him would be impossible.
Sigh.
For the first time, Shao Xingfan found himself missing his days at Tianmu Group.
If he were still there, Young Master Lin would’ve helped him without hesitation.
Wait—
What if he convinced President Su to transfer him back to Tianmu Group?
His eyes lit up at the idea.
"Assistant Shao, you look thrilled. What’s the plan?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
Grinning, Shao Xingfan said, "Secretary Jiang, I think I can ask President Su to send me to Tianmu Group—under the pretense of assisting them."
Jiang Qing arched a brow. "Last time she assigned you there temporarily, you acted like the sky was falling. Now you’re volunteering?"
Shao Xingfan scratched his head sheepishly. "Let’s just say I’ve realized how incredible Young Master Lin is. I was blind before."
Thankfully, Young Master Lin wasn’t the type to hold grudges.
Looking back, his past arrogance had really come back to bite him.
"Secretary Jiang, do you think President Su will agree?"
Jiang Qing, ever the instigator, nodded. "Might as well try."
"Exactly! No harm in asking."
He’d find the right moment to bring it up.
As Shao Xingfan walked away, Jiang Qing watched with amusement.
This was going to be entertaining.
For the next half hour, Su Hua focused on paperwork at her desk while Lin Xuan lounged on the sofa, scrolling through online comments bashing Lin Chang and Starlight Group.
Netizens really knew how to wield their keyboards—their insults were impressively creative.
Admittedly, watching them tear into his enemies was oddly satisfying.
Every now and then, Su Hua would glance up, her eyes softening at the sight of Lin Xuan relaxed on the couch.
Days like these… they were perfect.
Before they knew it, the clock struck five.
Lin Xuan pocketed his phone.
"Hua, it’s time to clock out. Let’s grab dinner."
"Mm."
In the past, Su Hua was a workaholic, always arriving at the company early and often working until ten or eleven at night before leaving.
But ever since she got together with Lin Xuan, Su Hua has been leaving the office on time—or even earlier.
Su Hua closed the file.
Lin Xuan took her hand as they walked out of the office together.
A sweet smile lingered at the corners of Su Hua’s lips.
Click.
Click.
Employees of Su Corporation frantically snapped photos of the two.
Their faces were alight with excitement.
"Ahhh! They’re such a perfect match—Young Master Lin and President Su are so gorgeous together!"
"Ship them hard! Young Master Lin and President Su are endgame!"
"I wish we could drag the marriage registry here for them! Seriously, though, if they’re so in love, why aren’t they married yet?"
"Relax, a couple this devoted will tie the knot sooner or later."
Huo Shen listened to their chatter, his eyes darkening.
These Su Corporation employees actually had the audacity to gossip about their boss’s personal life.
Hah.
Marriage?
As if he’d ever let them succeed.
Su Hua was his. In this lifetime, she would only ever marry him.
Right now, Lin Xuan was just borrowing her for a little while.
He had to bide his time—if Su Hua found out about his feelings, she’d never let him stay at Su Corporation.
And if he wasn’t by her side, how could he steal her back?
Lin Xuan took Su Hua out for dinner, then to an amusement park.
"Ling’er!" Chen Ling’s best friend pointed at Lin Xuan and Su Hua, gushing. "They’re so stunning—one handsome, one beautiful. Even better-looking than most celebrities on TV!"
Updates must go on. Whenever I have time, I’m typing away at my keyboard.
Goodnight, lovelies. Tonight’s an all-nighter—no sleep for me.
Thank you to Zhenxun Zijiang, a certain netizen, and other sweethearts for the gifts.
Uu.
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
