Chapter 2210: Sack them up and teach them a lesson

Silently thinking these thoughts, Su Kexuan looked at the few people opposite her in silence.

Her gaze was very calm.

Yet it was very oppressive.

There were already some who did not dare to meet her eyes.

At this moment, the assistant provided an assist: "Boss, should I call them back and hold the meeting again?"

"Reschedule it, but there's no need to call these few; after all, they can't offer any useful suggestions anyway."

"Understood!"

The assistant felt extremely vindicated!

But the people opposite, every single one of them, had ugly expressions on their faces.

President Zhong was even more solemn as he warned her: "This is business, not child's play!"

"Isn't it child's play to hold a private meeting without waiting for the boss?"

"Hmph, when it comes down to it, aren't you just obsessed with that bureaucratic nonsense! Let me tell you, one must be grounded in reality!"

"Who is actually obsessed with that nonsense, President Zhong knows full well."

Su Kexuan smiled lightly, then turned and left with her assistant.

Throughout the negotiation between the two sides, Su Kexuan remained very composed.

Her calmness, her aura, and her attitude were convincing.

They also caused some to waver.

However...

Thinking about it carefully, even if Su Kexuan is outstanding, can she still succeed without these people helping her?

Besides, she is a woman.

And so young.

Her qualifications are limited...

So, it's more reliable to stick with President Zhong!

Those who had wavered immediately stood firmly on President Zhong's side.

And President Zhong, with a dark expression, cursed viciously: "Just wait for your downfall!"

Back in the office, the assistant couldn't hold it in anymore and started complaining: "What are these people thinking? Their brains must be flooded with water!"

Su Kexuan, however, didn't get angry.

She only felt a bit of a headache.

Raising her hand to rub her temples, she said to the assistant: "Their brains aren't flooded with water; they just have a bit too much ambition. Once they grasp a little bit of authority, they think they can stand on equal footing with me."

Recalling back then, when Su Kexuan first returned to the country to found the company, the atmosphere in the company was quite good.

But the company's rapid development made certain people start to swell with arrogance.

They even developed unrealistic ideas.

Now, they even want to bring trouble to Su Kexuan.

Truly... their courage is commendable!

Su Kexuan rested her forehead on her fingers, a half-smile hanging on the corners of her lips.

And the assistant, having heard Su Kexuan's words, became even angrier.

He clenched his fists and said: "We have to teach them a lesson!"

"You're right. Go buy me a few burlap sacks in a while."

Huh?

The assistant didn't understand: "Buy what kind of sacks?"

"Just the ordinary kind, the ones you can bag people up in, drag them to a deserted place, and give them a good beating."

Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately lost his temper.

He slumped his shoulders and said helplessly: "Boss, I'm being serious with you."

"I'm being serious too."

Su Kexuan looked at the assistant.

Her gaze was indeed quite serious.

There wasn't a hint of a joke in it.

Then the assistant panicked.

He hurriedly said: "Then you'd better not be serious!"

"Hey, you really are contradictory."

Su Kexuan switched to using both hands to rub her temples, continuing to apply pressure.

This time the pressure was just right.

Su Kexuan revealed a relaxed expression.

Seeing that Su Kexuan wasn't angry or impatient at all, the assistant sensed something: "Do you have another plan?"

"Mm."

"Then tell me quickly, what is your plan!"

The assistant was impatient, bracing his arms on the desk while leaning his body slightly forward.

Actually, Su Kexuan's plan was very simple, just four words: "Kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

The assistant nodded repeatedly and asked again: "Who do you intend to pick?"

"Let's go with President Zhong."

This President Zhong is old, experienced, and always considers himself an elder, wanting to turn Su Kexuan into his puppet.

He once worked under Su Kexuan's father.

When she first returned to the country to start the company, the purpose of his existence was also to protect Su Kexuan.

But as it turns out, his ambition has grown, and his mind has become increasingly muddled.

If I don't target him, who should I target?

The assistant's eyes brightened even more upon hearing the words "President Zhong."

He asked, "Where should we start?"

"A conceited person like him has plenty of dirt on him. Previously, considering his relationship with my father, I turned a blind eye. Now that he wants to bring me down, there's no need to show mercy."

"Ah, he even wants to bring you down?"

"You don't actually think he was just bored, do you, and that's why he held the meeting for me?"

The assistant didn't think President Zhong was just bored.

But he also hadn't expected this person to be so bold!

"You are the boss of the company, after all; how could he dare!"

"President Zhong is cunning, capable, and ambitious—why wouldn't he dare? But then again, I'm not exactly a pushover myself."

As Su Kexuan spoke, she gave the assistant some instructions.

The assistant was confused at first.

Then, he gradually realized: "You are setting a trap for President Zhong, letting him jump into it voluntarily!"

"Just knowing that is enough; don't mention this to anyone else."

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't!"

"Mm, go out and get busy."

The assistant walked out of the office, overjoyed.

Su Kexuan, meanwhile, leaned back against her leather chair, exhausted, and closed her eyes.

Today is the first day of her period.

Although she took a painkiller in the morning, Su Kexuan's lower back still felt sore and bloated.

It was easy to foresee that this day would be very difficult to endure.

Su Kexuan let out a long sigh.

Then, she took a thermos out of her bag, intending to drink some hot water.

But as soon as she took the cup out, she noticed a sticky note attached to it.

The note read: Brown sugar ginger water brewed for you, remember to drink it while it's hot.

Without needing to think, she knew this must have been prepared by Jiang Mobai.

Su Kexuan curled her lips into a smile and put the note into her drawer.

Then, she unscrewed the lid.

A wisp of heat rose up.

Su Kexuan blew on it gently, then took a sip...

Instantly, a spicy, stinging sensation shot straight to the top of her head!

This is way too spicy!

Su Kexuan was even stung into tears!

She didn't have time to wipe them away; she took a bottle of mineral water from a cabinet and gulped it down.

It wasn't until she had drunk more than half the bottle that the stinging sensation in her mouth slowly subsided.

Whew—

Su Kexuan let out a long breath.

Then, she stared at the thermos, caught in a dilemma.

In terms of taste, she could pour this entire bottle of "poison" into the toilet without hesitation.

But in terms of sentiment... she was a bit reluctant.

After all, this was a gesture of care from Jiang Mobai.

After struggling with it for a while, Su Kexuan thought of a compromise:

Dilute this brown sugar ginger water!

She poured half of the brown sugar ginger water from the thermos into the mineral water bottle.

Then she filled it up with mineral water, screwed on the cap, and shook it gently.

Finally, she had a cup of brown sugar ginger water with just the right taste, just the right temperature—everything was just right!

Su Kexuan felt this method was perfect.

Drinking the brown sugar water again, she no longer felt it was a torture; instead, a wave of heat flowed straight to her dantian.

Comfortable!

Meanwhile, things were not so comfortable for President Zhong.

He was on the phone.

Although the person on the other end of the line couldn't see President Zhong's expression.

President Zhong was still being careful, speaking respectfully.
