Chapter 371: Let Him Rest
Old Man Su instantly cleared out all the servants from the living room.
He even shut the door.
And had someone guard outside, with strict orders not to let anyone in without his say-so.
Su Hua, seeing the absence of those pesky light bulbs (the servants), finally looked satisfied.
“Little bed slave, let’s continue, huh?” Su Hua’s eyes were locked onto Lin Xuan.
“Alright.” Lin Xuan nodded, accepting his fate.
Whenever Hua Bao had an episode, she always thought about certain things.
No good.
He must cure Hua Bao’s condition soon, for her health and his kidneys’ sake.
The temperature in the living room kept rising.
Ambiguous sounds began echoing.
Four hours later.
Lin Xuan looked at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed and exhaled softly.
Finally, it was over.
Not long after her last episode, how did Hua Bao have another one?
Lin Xuan wanted to get up and ask the bodyguard who protected Su Hua today what exactly happened, but the little woman clinging to his waist wouldn’t let him go. He could only wait.
The next day, Su Hua went to work, and Lin Xuan immediately asked the bodyguard about the situation.
“Master Lin, that day when Boss Su went out to handle some business, on the way back, someone shot an arrow in front of the car. There was a note attached. After Boss Su read the content of the note, she became like this. I don’t know exactly what was written on it,” the bodyguard truthfully replied.
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows tightly.
“What about the note?” Lin Xuan asked curiously.
“It was shredded by Boss Su and carelessly thrown onto the street,” the bodyguard answered.
Lin Xuan massaged his temples.
It seemed there was no way to know the contents of the note unless Hua Bao told him herself.
Hua Bao’s issue seemed to be psychological, but she guarded her heart so tightly, he couldn’t find any way in.
Sigh.
He could only take it step by step.
He still needed to enter the space and look for ways to treat Hua Bao.
Lin Xuan visited the company.
“How’s the promotion for Wolf Warrior going?” Lin Xuan asked.
“This time, we used Jiang Shuqin’s smear campaign against you to our advantage and promoted well.” Lei Hui was in high spirits.
They failed to steal, but they got bitten instead.
That Lin family must be furious.
After hearing Lei Hui’s explanation, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but nod approvingly. “Your method saved the most cost and achieved the greatest publicity.”
“All thanks to learning from you, boss.” Lei Hui grinned.
“By the way,” Lei Hui continued, “Boss, someone asked if our company should go public?”
“Not necessary.”
Lin Xuan replied, “Later, distribute some shares to employees who have performed exceptionally well and made significant contributions to the company.”
From the beginning, he never planned to make the company public.
Money? He didn’t lack it.
Why list for financing?
“Okay.” Lei Hui nodded.
“If you have documents that need my handling, bring them out quickly so I can deal with them,” Lin Xuan said.
Lei Hui looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously.
Why was the boss acting so strange this time? Usually, he avoided these kinds of things like the plague.
Lei Hui honestly pulled out a stack of documents.
“Boss, please review these and see where improvements are needed,” Lei Hui smiled.
“Alright.”
Lin Xuan sighed, resignedly opening the documents to review them.
If it weren’t for the fear of Hua Bao suddenly coming back, why would he hide in the company?
If this keeps up, his kidneys might just runaway from home.
Lin Xuan quickly finished processing the documents.
Just as he was about to head to the rest area in his office, he placed his hand on the doorknob when Gǒu Wěibācǎo showed up.
Her eyes were glued to Lin Xuan, looking at him as if he were a scum who abandoned his wife and child.
Lin Xuan: “…”
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Lin Xuan touched his nose, lacking confidence.
Gǒu Wěibācǎo: “Boss, do you know you’ve stopped updating your novels for eight days? Your readers are about to revolt!”
Moreover, through this hiatus, the readers figured out he has eight pen names! Each pen name updates four thousand words per novel, leaving cliffhangers at the end.
“Boss, they’re all calling for you to update now. If you don’t, they’ll really revolt, throwing mud and rotten eggs or whatever you choose,” Gǒu Wěibācǎo said.
Lin Xuan weakly promised, “I’ll catch up on the missed updates tomorrow.”
First, he needed to send Gǒu Wěibācǎo away so he could have a good sleep.
Satisfied, Gǒu Wěibācǎo left.
Lin Xuan sighed in relief, thinking he could finally be free.
But just as he opened the office door, Shao Xingfan popped up again.
“B-boss,” Shao Xingfan looked rather awkward.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Why did Shao Xingfan seem more respectful this time?
Previously, Shao Xingfan always looked down on him, thinking he was a parasite living off Hua Bao, doing nothing useful. But this time, Lin Xuan saw admiration in Shao Xingfan’s eyes.
Did solving the memory hogging issue in King Glory impress him?
Lin Xuan remembered the last time he met Shao Xingfan was when he resolved that problem.
Could it be his superior computer skills that won Shao Xingfan over?
Lin Xuan thought it was highly likely.
“What is it? Speak up,” Lin Xuan yawned; he still needed to catch up on sleep.
These frequent episodes with Hua Bao almost drained him.
“I have some programming questions for you,” Shao Xingfan said.
“Come in.”
Lin Xuan sat at his desk and solved three of Shao Xingfan’s problems within five to six minutes.
Shao Xingfan stared at the computer screen, utterly shocked.
“Is it done?” His mouth was wide open.
He had racked his brains for three days without any progress.
Lin Xuan took only three hours!
Was he not just bluffing?
Lin Xuan tossed a USB drive to Shao Xingfan, “Take it back and check it yourself.”
After kicking Shao Xingfan out of the office, Lin Xuan happily lay down in the bed in the rest area.
Back in his own office, Shao Xingfan started reviewing Lin Xuan’s answers.
After finishing, he was astonished to find Lin Xuan had indeed solved everything.
And it only took five minutes!
He barely glanced at it before starting typing.
Lin Xuan’s computer skills…they were insane…

After finishing her work, Su Hua returned early to the Night Garden.
“Where’s Ah Xuan?” Su Hua asked.
“Miss,” Butler Wang replied, “Young Master Lin said he went to the company today and might return late.”
Su Hua glanced at the location tracker on her phone and chuckled softly.
Ah Xuan was indeed at the company.
Looks like Ah Xuan was truly afraid she might do something to him again.
Fine.
Let Ah Xuan rest well then.
Pushing too hard wasn’t good.
