I was clearly working just now, why did I suddenly get the idea to come here and take a look?… This doesn’t seem to be the first time.
“Wait a moment.”
“What’s wrong?”
Su Lingyu turned around in confusion.
“…”
Lu Jiuyan frowned slightly.
Strange, that feeling seemed to have disappeared again.
“Is there something?”
“…Nothing, I just wanted to remind you not to forget what you said last time.”
“What?”
Su Lingyu watched his retreating back.
This person, at least finish what you’re saying before leaving!
What did he mean by not forgetting? What did she say last time? How strange!
In the supervisor’s office, Supervisor Qian watched this scene through the screen window and began making calculations in his mind.
Early the next morning, as soon as Su Lingyu arrived, she heard the news that Wu Meitong had been fired.
“What? She was doing perfectly fine, how could she just get fired like that?”
“I don’t know! When I arrived, I saw her packing her things!”
“Coming this early to pack obviously means she didn’t want to run into us and feel awkward!”
“But I still don’t understand why she was fired. Did any of you ask her?”
“How could we ask something like that? Maybe she wasn’t fired but was poached by another company?”
“Well, given her capabilities, it’s unlikely she was poached by another company. And at her level, no other company offers better benefits than ours!”
Small groups of people stood together in the office, whispering and discussing the matter.
What kind of miraculous development was this?
Su Lingyu never expected Wu Meitong to be fired just like that!
She thought that based on the information she revealed to the supervisor yesterday, Wu Meitong would only get a scolding, at most learn a lesson!
“Su Lingyu, you…”
Xia Bai came in, looking at her with a complicated expression.
“What about me?”
Su Lingyu found this somewhat strange.
“Do you know that Wu Meitong was fired?”
“I just heard. It’s… quite sudden.”
“Do you know who fired her?”
“Who?”
“Supervisor Qian.”
“…”
Su Lingyu was shocked.
Oh my goodness!
Could it really be related to what she said yesterday?
“Although I don’t know what you did, I have to say, you’re quite impressive.”
“No, it couldn’t be that, right?”
What legitimate company would fire an employee just because of a few words she said?
That’s way too casual!
“You…”
Xia Bai seemed hesitant to speak.
Su Lingyu: “What’s wrong?”
Why was she acting so strange today?
Even the way she looked at her seemed a bit odd?
“Nothing.”
Xia Bai shook her head, biting her lower lip.
Actually, since starting her internship, she had been doing a lot of work for Wu Meitong, which was often really annoying and frustrating.
Now that Wu Meitong was fired, she would have it easier from now on. She should be happy—Su Lingyu’s actions had essentially helped her.
But recently, Su Lingyu had been acting rather strange.
Not only had she stopped targeting her, but she had repeatedly helped her multiple times.
Before, she could understand Su Lingyu, thinking she just had the typical arrogance of a rich young lady, wearing everything on her face, including her dislike for her.
But now, Su Lingyu was becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
Especially today’s move of cutting the ground from under Wu Meitong’s feet, making her lose her job directly—that was really ruthless…
She was genuinely worried that Su Lingyu might use other methods to deal with her later.
It seems I need to keep my distance from her from now on!
“What are you thinking about?”
Su Lingyu noticed she hadn’t spoken for a while.
“Nothing, I should get back to work now.”
With that, Xia Bai quickly fled as if running for her life.
“Uh…”
Why did she feel like she’d completely messed things up?
Wasn’t her original intention to gain favor with the female lead?
Why did she feel like Xia Bai’s attitude toward her had reverted back to how it was at the very beginning?
The tough girl silently shed tears inside.
Sigh~
After work, the utterly drained Su Lingyu watched the access gate on the company’s first floor, quickly slipping through when someone else swiped their work pass.
No!
She couldn’t keep wallowing in this atmosphere of failure!
Although the mission to cling to the female lead’s golden thigh and gain her favor still had a long way to go.
She could continue working hard later – after all, they worked in the same company and were bound to see each other frequently.
Right now, she had more important matters to attend to.
—Finding her own work pass.
The fake pass could barely pass inspection, but many things couldn’t be done with it.
For example, not only did she have to rely on others to get through access control during commute hours, but she even had to use others’ cards for lunch and pay them back in cash.
It was really troublesome.
Over the past few days, she had considered getting a replacement, but after asking around, she learned it required lots of documentation and signatures from various managers – too cumbersome.
So, she wanted to find her original work pass.
After carefully thinking back, she realized she must have put the work pass in her bag and taken it home last Friday.
She had searched her bag and scoured her home, but couldn’t find it anywhere.
According to her deduction as Detective Su, there was one remaining possibility – she might have left it at Su Lingyu’s family villa last Saturday.
Therefore, she decided to drive over and search for it directly.
Since the original owner’s car was registered with the property management, Su Lingyu was waved right through into the villa area.
“President Su, is it really appropriate for us to be here like this?”
“No one’s home, don’t worry!”
“Well then, President Su, please be gentle~”
“You say one thing but mean another – don’t you actually like it when I’m rough?”
As he spoke, Su Jianguo forcefully squeezed the woman’s buttocks twice.
Just after entering and changing into slippers, Su Lingyu walked into the living room and froze completely at the scene before her!
Damn, this was truly eye-searing!
What sins had she committed to deserve witnessing such things twice in one day?
Apparently, having too big of a house wasn’t good either – they couldn’t even hear her opening the door from the living room!
Clatter—
The keys in Su Lingyu’s hand fell to the floor.
Hearing the noise, Su Jianguo looked up and immediately pushed the woman away in panic.
Frantically picking up his shirt while putting it on, he stammered: “X-Xiaoyu, why are you back? Why didn’t you call ahead? I-I could have sent the driver to pick you up.”
Su Jianguo never expected that after sending away both the driver and the housekeeper, his own daughter would show up!
And happened to witness this exact scene!
His old face was completely shamed!
Probably the only silver lining was… that Xiaoyu hadn’t returned two or three minutes later, otherwise he’d truly have no choice but to jump into the river to cleanse his disgrace!
“President Su, could this be another one of your romantic companions?”
The woman who had been pushed to the floor, upon seeing the young and beautiful Su Lingyu and Su Jianguo’s reaction, couldn’t help but speak with a hint of jealousy in her tone.
“Go on, what nonsense are you talking? This is my daughter, my own flesh and blood!”
“Oh~ So it’s Miss Su. My apologies, how rude of me.”
The woman adjusted her clothes and slowly got to her feet.
