On the pure white, soft hospital bed.
As the curses from her aunt gradually faded away.
Su Qingge, slowly regaining her senses, felt both distressed and powerless.
Even though she had just been lying on the bed like a living corpse, unable to see or speak.
But through her perception of the surrounding sounds, she was able to clearly understand the whole event.
But the more she understood, the more helpless she felt...
'What happened to my aunt? How did her values get twisted like this?!'
'Doesn't she know Grandpa's health is poor? It's unreasonable to make him this angry, both emotionally and logically?!'
'So, what if she's a woman? Why must she rely on men? Who says women are inferior to men!'
'As for me, Su Qingge, I can rely on myself, I don't need to depend on any man.'
'Of course... the best kind of partnership is one that helps each other grow...'
'Anyway, no matter what, it could never be in this pathological way like my aunt.'
…..
Su Qingge has always been clear-headed, avoiding any love-struck thoughts.
As a modern woman, she had long sworn to become a strong woman who shines on her own.
Of course...
The main reason was that in recent years, apart from herself, there was no one she could rely on.
This is why she gradually developed a decisive and self-reliant habit of solving everything herself.
If she always relied on others for help, perhaps... the Su Group would have already been gone....
Even so, she still felt powerless when facing her aunt, who was now deeply trapped in the swamp of love.
Her aunt's values were already set, how could she possibly help her change?
After all, she was one of the few family members, and if there was a chance, Su Qingge still wanted to try to save her...
At that moment, Lin Xuan's gentle voice was heard.
"Qingge, are you worried about your aunt?"
'Yes.'
Su Qingge did not hide it, using her finger to gesture on Lin Xuan's palm.
"It's okay! I believe your aunt will wake up one day and understand the value of family."
Although she knew the ultimate outcome of being "love-struck."
But Lin Xuan did not pour cold water on her, instead, he comforted her gently.
But honestly, when facing such comfort, Su Qingge herself didn't quite believe it.
'Really?'
"Ahem... probably, probably..."
Su Qingge: "......"
"But no matter what, I will always stay by your side."
"To me now, Qingge, you're as important as family."
Hearing these words that sounded like a live confession.
Su Qingge lay there, seemingly asleep and indifferent, but inside, she was already feeling flustered and helpless.
She suddenly felt a moment of relief that she was in a vegetative state.
That way, she wouldn't have to face such a cringeworthy situation herself.
Honestly.
Su Qingge was the least good at handling other people's kindness towards her, especially from men...
And her current vegetative state was just the right way to avoid this problem.
'So, in Lin Xuan's mind, I'm already his family?'
'o(////▽////)q Why do I feel a little embarrassed?!'
'Oh~~ Lin Xuan is too bold! How could he say such things so easily.'
'"Family" carries an extraordinary meaning!'
'But Lin Xuan's original family...'
'Perhaps there really was no family bond left there.'
…..
Hearing that Lin Xuan considered her family, a small trace of sweetness and joy appeared in Su Qingge's heart.
But when she thought of the biased treatment Lin Xuan received from the Lin family.
Su Qingge instinctively felt a pang of sympathy.
At least she still had her loving grandfather, Aunt Liu, and friends like Ke Xin...
But Lin Xuan was not only ostracized by his family.
But due to his "mania," few people in the magical city were willing to get close to him or be friends with him.
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan seemed to be worse off than herself...
How pitiful~~ (?﹏?)
While Lin Xuan and Su Qingge were in their own little world!
Su Fan, not far from them, was staring at this scene in a daze.
My little sister...
It seems like she's much closer to Lin Xuan than I thought!
Otherwise, with her personality, she would never be gesturing like this in a man's palm...
Although a little displeased.
But seeing his little sister recovering slowly, and being able to interact with others, instead of being trapped in dark consciousness and struggling painfully.
Su Fan's expression softened, and he began to feel quite grateful to Lin Xuan...
"Oni-chan. We're leaving now!"
At that moment, Chen Kexin suggested that they should leave.
Hearing this, Su Fan felt a little reluctant. He really wanted to stay and accompany his sister.
But his current identity was as Chen Kexin's bodyguard, and on the surface, he had no connection with the Su family.
No matter how he thought about it... there was no reasonable reason to stay.
Helplessly, he nodded at Lin Xuan.
He then prepared to leave the Su family with Chen Kexin...
Fortunately, this trip wasn't without its gains; he had seen his sister being well cared for, and she had a chance to wake up at any moment.
Su Fan was still in a good mood, feeling much more at ease.
Moreover, since Lin Xuan was an upright gentleman, he didn't have to worry about his sister being taken advantage of.
So, Su Fan left with a relieved expression.
After their footsteps gradually faded away....
Hoo~~~
Lin Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief. With the big brother-in-law standing by, he always felt uncomfortable.
But as soon as the big brother-in-law left, he immediately felt much lighter.
He then looked at Su Qingge on the bed, grinning, ready to do as he pleased.
"Hehehe, good Qingge, let's continue cuddling... Ahem, let's continue the rehabilitation!"
After saying that.
Lin Xuan expertly got onto the bed and once again pulled the soft, cute girl into his arms....
Soft~~
Warm~~
Fragrant~~
One word, absolute~~
At this moment.
Lin Xuan had a face full of enjoyment, and he was left with just one thought.
Big brother-in-law, you shouldn't come again in the future, you're delaying me from cuddling with your sister. Doesn't your conscience hurt?!
....[ (,,???)? Hello! My plot line is back, did everyone miss me? ]....
Su Group, Headquarters.
Inside the chairman's office.
After receiving a call from Liu Juan, he learned that his rebellious daughter had been kicked out of the house.
Su Shengtian, whose face was originally filled with anger, finally showed a slight smile and said: "Xiao Juan, tell the people below that from now on, if Su Yan that rebellious daughter shows up again, just kick her out immediately."
"Don't let her in just because she's my daughter, afraid of offending her...."
"......"
Beep beep beep——
After hanging up the phone, Su Shengtian breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
After all, that was the daughter he had raised with his own hands, but now things had escalated to the point where they were about to have a father-daughter rift.
To say it didn't pain him at all would be a lie?!
Of course, Su Shengtian was very clear-headed.
He was pained, but...
But before Su Yan's "love-struck brain" awakens....
He absolutely could not accept her.
Otherwise, they would definitely be quarreling endlessly with Lin Xuan and his wife, with things becoming increasingly tangled and messy.
Besides, with Su Yan's state of being "love-struck"....
If Su Group really dared to entrust it to her, it might declare bankruptcy in just a couple of years, or be directly renamed Wang Group....
Knock knock knock!
At that moment, the sudden knocking on the door interrupted Su Shengtian's thoughts.
He rubbed his temples, calmed his emotions, and quickly got back into work mode.
"Come in!"
Creak!
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and black-rimmed glasses walked in.
"Chairman! The employees we sent out for investigation have news to report, and it's good news."
"The clients who used the [Beauty Cream] in the early stages are now gradually developing rashes, swelling, and other symptoms on their faces."
"Some people have already started suspecting that the product is the issue. They are planning to organize the victims to go to the Lin Group to seek justice."
"......"
Hu Zheng reported the latest news with a face full of joy.
He was the group's top lawyer and one of Su Shengtian's trusted confidants.
Therefore, he knew all about the company stockpiling the [Beauty Pills].
At first, he was particularly skeptical of Li Jie, thinking that the chairman was being too impulsive, spending a lot of money to produce unknown pills.
It could end up in a total loss.
But after experiencing the effects of the pills himself, he instantly changed his mind—these pills were definitely going to be a hit in the market!
However, what puzzled him at that time was...
Why didn't the chairman immediately release the [Beauty Pills] into the market, and instead chose to stockpile them in large quantities?
It wasn't until the chairman explained the reason to him that Hu Zheng finally understood.
"Brilliant! Chairman, you really have foresight, you guessed it all. Lin's products really have issues..."
"Now, as long as we launch our [Beauty Pills], it will surely ignite the entire market."
Hu Zheng's smile never stopped; his face full of excitement.
However, it seemed like something crossed his mind, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Chairman! The only worry now is..."
"That after being hurt once, the public will definitely lose trust in these beauty products."
"This is troublesome. Even if our products are of the best quality, in the case of public distrust, the early stages could be quite difficult."
"However, real gold is not afraid of being tested by fire. Over time, the product's reputation will naturally spread. It might just take a little time..."
"........"
Su Shengtian was originally immersed in sheer joy.
Hearing Hu Zheng's concerns, he smiled and waved his hand, signaling that everything was under the control of his grandson-in-law.
"Don't worry, my grandson-in-law has already thought this through. He said he would handle it, and we can trust him with it."
"Don't be so surprised, at this point I won't hide it from you anymore..."
"Both the formula for the [Beauty Pills] and the defects in the Lin Group's products were told to me by Xiao Xuan."
"Xiao Xuan is a very capable person. After I step down..."
"If you work well under him, you will surely achieve more than working under this old man like me."
"......"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zheng was greatly shocked.
He never expected that the mastermind behind all of this was the soon-to-be future boss?!
Originally, he didn't think much of Lin Xuan, even feeling some disdain and contempt in his heart.
After all, he had learned about Lin Xuan's actions over the past few years.
He really didn't think Lin Xuan had the ability to replace Su Shengtian's position.
As for the future of Su Group, he was left with only pessimism and sighs, even contemplating resigning and changing jobs in the future.
He never expected....
It seemed he had misjudged.
This new boss...
Seems like they're not as simple as I imagined?!
In that moment, Hu Zheng reignited his hope and developed a hint of respect and anticipation for the new boss.
"Xiao Hu, you just said someone is trying to organize victims to go to Lin Group to seek justice? How many people have gathered now?"
Leaning back in his office chair, Su Shengtian tapped his index finger on the table, lost in thought.
"At the moment, the situation isn't very serious. There aren't too many victims with facial issues. I think at most, only a dozen people have responded!"
"And these people are acting on their own, without organization or discipline. In the short term, they won't cause much trouble to the Lin Group."
"However, as time passes, with the number of victims increasing and panic spreading, it will eventually cause big problems for the Lin family."
"......"
Hu Zheng thought for a moment and voiced his guess and deduction.
When he finished speaking....
Su Shengtian narrowed his eyes, and a cunning smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
The business world is like a battlefield.
He had navigated the business world for many years and came up with a strategy in an instant.
"Xiao Hu!"
"Since those people are disorganized and undisciplined, you see... they must need a leader to step forward..."
"If someone leads them, the results will definitely be much faster than if they just mess around."
"As the saying goes, helping others is the root of happiness. I think opportunities to do good deeds like this are rare, don't you agree?"
"........"
Hmm?
What does the chairman mean by this?!
At first, Hu Zheng didn't quite react.
But when he saw the "scheming" smile on Su Shengtian's face...
He understood!!!
It seems that experience truly is everything, huh?!
The chairman, after all these years leading the group, is still so despicable and shameless...
Of course, Hu Zheng only dared to complain about this in his heart.
On the outside, however, he showed a face full of admiration, repeatedly expressing that he understood and would personally intervene (o′ω`o)?
Then.
He then reported a few business matters to Su Shengtian before quickly leaving in a hurry.
Next, he was going to become the leader of the group.
…..
On the other side.
Lin Jianjun, full of joy, had already returned to the company's employee dormitory.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the house was eerily quiet~~
Where is everyone?
What time is it? Are they still not awake???
Lin Jianjun walked in, puzzled, shouting:
"Xiao Hao, Yue Lan? Where have you two gone?"
Tap tap tap——
The response to his inquiry came in the form of two hurried footsteps.
When two faces, seemingly covered in thousands of ants, densely packed with red rashes, appeared...
"Sh*t!!!"
"It's a ghost haunting in broad daylight—!!!"
