Manager Liu muttered, "But this work of mine needs to be reviewed by Boss Su before 8 PM tonight. Not seeing Boss Su today is not an option."
Could he really brave Boss Su's wrath and walk into that office?
Manager Chen pondered for a moment before speaking, "I heard that Young Master Lin has become a graduate student at Shangqing University, and today is registration day. Young Master Lin should be at Shangqing University."
Manager Liu frowned tightly.
What did Young Master Lin attending classes have to do with him reporting work to Boss Su?
"Manager Chen, what you mean is..."
"Here's the plan, Manager Liu," Manager Chen said. "Go investigate Young Master Lin's class schedule right now, find out when he finishes school. When Young Master Lin goes back, Boss Su will definitely follow. You can take that opportunity, while Young Master Lin is with Boss Su, to go and report your work."
Manager Liu's eyes instantly lit up.
"Manager Chen, that move is brilliant!"
"Absolutely brilliant!"
"With Young Master Lin there, even if Boss Su is still in a bad mood, she won't lose her temper with me in front of him."
Boss Su cares the most about her image in Young Master Lin's eyes.
So Boss Su would definitely be gracious to him.
The gloom in Manager Liu's heart vanished completely.
He thought he was definitely in for a scolding this time, but he never expected it to be resolved so easily.
"Manager Chen," Manager Liu said with heartfelt gratitude, "thank you for today. I'll definitely treat you to a meal and drinks another day."
"It's nothing, just helping each other out."
There was a time before when Manager Liu had warned him that Boss Su was in a bad mood, allowing him to avoid punishment.
Working under Boss Su, they had to look out for each other to get by.
Manager Liu and Manager Chen left together.
Manager Liu looked completely relaxed.
While Manager Chen still wore a bitter expression.
Sigh.
If he had known Boss Su was in a bad mood today, he would never have come to see her, and their entire department wouldn't have had their bonuses deducted.
Manager Chen also sent a message in the group chat.
[Attention everyone! Boss Su is in a bad mood today. Unless it's urgent, don't go see her.]
The previously busy CEO's office, with people coming and going, became completely deserted.
The employees of Su Corporation had all received the heads-up in the company group chat early.
They weren't about to rush in and offer themselves up as cannon fodder.
Only Su Hua was left alone in the entire CEO's office.
Su Hua sat at her desk, trying to focus on work.
But her mind was filled with images from the university—her Xuan surrounded by countless women.
Her hand involuntarily reached for her phone again, opening the Shangqing University forum.
The forum was practically flooded with posts about Lin Xuan.
[Ahhh, my male god is so, so handsome!]
[I got into Shangqing University just for my male god. Getting to see him on the first day is worth it!]
[Husband, I love you!]
[I want to be Lin Xuan's girlfriend, his wife, I want to have his babies! Just thinking about it makes me feel like I could die happy.]
[Oppa, you're so handsome and dashing, who are you trying to kill?]
[So handsome, so talented, such great earning power too... you're my destined husband.]
There were many, many more explicit comments.
Those new graduate students and freshmen at Shangqing University were all frantically confessing their love to Lin Xuan.
Su Hua read post after post, an icy chill emanating from her.
How dare they, each and every one of them, covet Young Master Lin. They deserve to die.
Just like those netizens on Weibo, she wanted to kill them all...
Jiang Qing entered the CEO's office with a cup of coffee.
The moment she opened the office door, she felt an oppressive, chilling pressure.
Jiang Qing shivered.
So cold...
Jiang Qing looked at Su Hua in confusion.
What on earth happened... for Boss Su to be in such a foul mood.
Jiang Qing then remembered the task Su Hua had given her not long ago.
Could it be... Boss Su is still angry about those netizens' confessions to Young Master Lin?
Yes!
That's most likely it.
Come to think of it, there's probably no one in the world who gets jealous this easily.
Actually getting jealous over netizens' comments...
Everyone knows netizens just get carried away in the hype.
Steeling herself, Jiang Qing walked up to Su Hua's desk.
"Boss Su, here's your coffee, no sugar," Jiang Qing said softly, afraid of drawing Su Hua's attention.
Su Hua's gaze remained fixed on her phone screen, not uttering a word.
Jiang Qing lightened her steps, intending to slip out of the office unnoticed.
Thud— Su Hua's phone was slammed heavily onto the desk with a sharp sound.
Jiang Qing's heart skipped a beat.
"Boss Su, wh-what's wrong?"
Jiang Qing turned around stiffly.
"Jiang Qing," Su Hua said expressionlessly, "don't you think Xuan is very popular? That many, many girls like him?"
Jiang Qing's mind raced frantically, launching into brainstorming mode.
This was a hellish difficult question.
Saying it was all fake, that those girls don't like Young Master Lin, would undoubtedly imply Young Master Lin lacks charm, or that she was lying.
If she nodded in agreement, that would mean many women are coveting Young Master Lin, which would be even more disastrous.
She had to think of a perfect solution...
Got it!
An idea struck her, and Jiang Qing's eyes lit up.
"Boss Su," Jiang Qing said respectfully, "Young Master Lin is extremely handsome, has a great figure, and he easily tops his class at Shangqing University. He even solved a computer problem that stumped the whole world."
"It's perfectly normal for someone as charming as Young Master Lin to be liked by many women."
Su Hua pressed her lips together.
Yes.
Xuan really, truly is very charming. It's hard for any woman who interacts with him not to be attracted to him.
Even a monster like her, devoid of any feelings, fell for Xuan, didn't she?
"However, Boss Su, rest assured," Jiang Qing shifted her tone. "No matter how many women like Young Master Lin, that's their business. Because Young Master Lin only has eyes for you. He would absolutely never be led astray by some little tramp from outside."
This wasn't some flattery; she said it with complete sincerity.
She was certain that Young Master Lin liked Boss Su very, very much right now.
No other woman, no matter how wonderful, could compare to Boss Su.
Not to mention, Boss Su is arguably the most beautiful woman in the world.
With a peerless beauty like Boss Su, who also knows how to captivate a man, by his side, where would Young Master Lin find the eyes to see other women?
Hearing Jiang Qing's words, Su Hua's crimson lips curved into a slight smile.
"Jiang Qing, you're right. Xuan definitely wouldn't be interested in other women," Su Hua's voice carried a note of sweetness.
Xuan will only like her, he won't fall for other women...

Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

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.
