Cao Kun hadn't expected that he would so easily incur public wrath, and suddenly he did not dare to confront everyone directly anymore. If this matter truly got to the president, he might not expect good consequences.
He instantly shot two hateful glances toward Su Chen, considering this guy the root of everything!
Cao Kun had noticed how popular Su Chen became upon his arrival and worried that he might threaten his position, which was why he attempted to sabotage him. However, he didn't expect that it would backfire and hurt himself instead.
"What's all this noise! Don't you have anything better to do!"
At that moment, an authoritative voice came through and everyone quieted down upon hearing it.
Then a square-faced, fairly dignified middle-aged man walked in. He was the head of the security department, Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu was different from Cao Kun; he had quite a bit of prestige in the security department. However, people feared rather than respected him.
Su Chen sensitively noticed that Zhang Mingyu had a complex look in his eyes when he glanced at him, which made him somewhat puzzled.
But his puzzle was quickly solved as Zhang Mingyu said to him:
"Su Chen, the president wants you to go to her office immediately."
After speaking, Zhang Mingyu left, and Cao Kun naturally scurried out after him.
Everyone was astonished. How could the president know about this new driver?
Even if she did, why would she call him to the office early in the morning?
"Su Chen, why would the president ask for you in her office?"
Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously, and everyone else perked up their ears.
"I don't know," Su Chen shrugged and said.
"Do you know the president?" Meng Shan also asked, his face full of curiosity.
"Hmm," Su Chen nodded.
"What's your relationship with her?"
"Nothing special," said Su Chen nonchalantly.
"Impossible, if there were nothing between you, the president would not have called for you so early in the morning. Why keep secrets from us?"
Although Meng Shan was a man, he was still young, and his curiosity was intense.
Lin Ruoxue's eyebrows furrowed as she watched this scene. Thinking about how she always used that teacup for her tea, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She was a woman with a mania for cleanliness, normally not even allowing others to touch her personal belongings, and yet this bastard had the audacity to make such an obscene gesture with her teacup!
If it were any other item, Lin Ruoxue would have thrown it away immediately, but this teacup was a coming-of-age gift from her grandfather on her eighteenth birthday, meant to make her feel her grandfather's presence every day.
This caused Lin Ruoxue to feel, for a period of time afterward, as if Su Chen's lips had just licked over her teacup every time she drank tea.
Su Chen looked up and noticed that Lin Ruoxue was staring at the teacup in his hand with an icy expression, so he simply finished the coffee and then placed the cup back on Lin Ruoxue's desk.
"Is it really such a big deal that I used your teacup? Do you have to give me such a frosty reception?"
Su Chen curled his lip and, not waiting for Lin Ruoxue to explode, continued, "Say it, what do you want to talk to me about?"
It was only then that Lin Ruoxue remembered that she did have something to ask him, so she put aside the matter at hand.
"Tell me, what have you done to Little Hao?" Lin Ruoxue's beautiful eyes were fixed tightly on Su Chen.
"Eh, what did Lin Hao, that stinky brat, say?"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. Did Lin Hao tell Lin Ruoxue about yesterday's event?
But after a moment's thought, Su Chen deemed it unlikely, growing even more curious about what exactly Lin Hao had said that made Lin Ruoxue summon him first thing in the morning.
"He, he said..."
Lin Ruoxue hesitated for a long time but still couldn't articulate what Lin Hao had actually said.
It was because she was too embarrassed to repeat Lin Hao's words in front of Su Chen.
The situation was actually very simple. This morning, as soon as Lin Ruoxue arrived at the office, she remembered that Lin Hao was still in the hospital and made a call to check on him.
Unexpectedly, her brother didn't speak much before telling her to treat her brother-in-law well, to hold onto this man at all costs, and to move forward quickly with things like getting married and having a baby.
Lin Ruoxue was naturally taken aback, knowing how much her brother had previously disapproved of her husband. To think that in the blink of an eye, his attitude had taken a 360-degree turn.
She hurriedly asked for the reason, but Lin Hao was evasive, and when questioned further, he simply hung up the phone.
Unable to fathom Lin Hao's sudden change of heart, Lin Ruoxue had no choice but to call Su Chen to her.
"What exactly did he say?"
Seeing a blush suddenly appear on Lin Ruoxue's pretty face, Su Chen also felt very strange...
