Chapter 16: My Man
The higher-ups all perked up their ears.
What a pleasant-sounding male voice! But Su Zong doesn’t show interest in men, no matter how good the voice sounds, it means nothing to her.
Right now, Su Zong is clearly mad. This man has walked right into her line of fire.
Everyone lit a candle for Brother Lin Xuan in their hearts.
Who would’ve thought! The frosty aura surrounding Su Hua suddenly softened.
Everyone: “??? What happened?”
Su Hua picked up her phone and said softly, “Just wait a moment.”
Everyone stared with wide eyes. Could it be that Su Zong actually has a gentle side?
This blew everyone’s minds!
Su Hua said calmly, “Take a break for a while, I need to answer a call.”
Su Hua left the meeting room with her phone.
As soon as Su Hua left, those higher-ups burst into chatter.
All traces of professionalism were gone!
They were like old folks gossiping at the village entrance.
“What’s going on? Why did Su Zong suddenly become so gentle and charming? I’m still getting used to this!”
“The voice from the phone just now was definitely a young man. From his voice, he probably looks pretty good too. Could it be that Su Zong finally has a boyfriend?”
“Boyfriend? That’s impossible. Su Zong keeps herself detached. All those men who tried to approach her, countless numbers, but did she let any of them even touch her clothes?”
“But seriously, I think this time might actually work out!”
“Hmm, you guys, if Su Zong starts dating, do you think she’ll be the one on top or will she submit?”
“With Su Zong’s strong personality, there’s no doubt she’d be the one on top!”
“Not necessarily. Didn’t you see how tender Su Zong became just now? Women, no matter how strong, always turn soft in front of the man they love.”
They debated fiercely.
Most people still believed that even if this guy really is Su Hua’s man, he’s probably just someone she keeps around to satisfy physical needs.
Someone like Su Hua only has eyes for work; she wouldn’t let herself get lost in romance.
Inside Su Hua’s office.
Su Hua spoke gently into the phone, “Ah Xuan, I’m here. Is there something you need?”
This was the first time Lin Xuan had called her on his own initiative. Her eyes and brows were filled with joy.
“Were you working just now?” Lin Xuan asked, frowning.
“Yes, I was in a meeting,” Su Hua replied.
“It’s noon already, you should eat. Take care of your health, Su Hua.” Lin Xuan reminded her.
“Okay,” Su Hua smiled faintly.
He’s truly such a good person.
She hoped he would never change back.
Otherwise…
A trace of cruelty flickered in Su Hua’s eyes.
Even if she had to chop off his hands and feet, she would keep him by her side.
If he wanted to kill himself, then she would let him die, and then preserve his body as a specimen to stay with her, or maybe even consume his ashes, so they could fuse together.
Lin Xuan said, “Are you at the company? I’ll come over to keep you company.”
Su Hua wanted to nod but suddenly remembered what Jiang had told her.
Men shouldn’t be pressured too much; give them enough space.
But she couldn’t bear to refuse.
Su Hua remained silent for a long time.
Lin Xuan waited for Su Hua’s reply but didn’t hear anything, so he asked curiously, “Su Hua?”
Su Hua finally spoke, pinching the bridge of her nose. “You don’t have to come. I’m a bit tired and want to take a nap at the company during lunch.”
“You must remember to eat on time,” Lin Xuan still reminded her anxiously.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Su Hua curled her lips into a smile.
After hanging up, Su Hua returned to the meeting room.
The heated discussion among the higher-ups came to an abrupt stop the moment Su Hua walked in.
Su Hua sat back down in her main seat.
“Manager Lin.” Her voice wasn’t as cold and hard as before.
“S-Su Zong,” the project manager nervously sweated.
Su Hua threw the project proposal he submitted onto the table.
“Go back and rewrite it. Work overtime if necessary, and submit it to me within five days.”
The project manager froze.
That’s it? Just like that?
Su Hua frowned, “Is there a problem?”
“No, Su Zong, this time I will definitely put in my best effort, conduct thorough research, and create a good project plan,” the project manager shook his head quickly.
“Today’s meeting ends here. Dismissed,” Su Hua stood up from her chair.
“Su Zong, may I ask a question. The man you were talking to just now, what’s his relationship with you? Is he a subordinate, or…” one higher-up boldly asked.
Everyone looked at Su Hua with shining eyes full of curiosity!
Su Hua glanced at the higher-up.
The higher-up wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was momentarily confused, daring to inquire about Su Zong’s private affairs.
Amidst the nervousness of the higher-ups, Su Hua answered warmly, “My man.”
