Chapter 2229: You Want to Play? I'll See It Through to the End

~7 min read 1,390 words

Su Kexuan discussed with General Manager Zhong, "Internal company matters shouldn't be leaked to the outside, right?"

"Hmph, then we'll see how you handle this!"

General Manager Zhong crossed his arms.

He felt he had the upper hand.

His whole demeanor became arrogant again.

Su Kexuan "distressingly" pondered for a moment.

Afterwards, she made a decision: "How about this, I'll arrange a position for you in the Security department; you can go start your shift in a little while."

Su Kexuan offered the solution with a sincere expression.

But this solution infuriated General Manager Zhong.

He slammed his hand onto the table and shouted in a gruff voice, "Su Kexuan, don't you go too far!"

"Can't accept it? Then you can also choose to resign."

"In your dreams! I know you want me to retreat in the face of difficulty, but this time, I won't do as you wish! If you can't restore me to my original position, I'll turn this place upside down!"

As General Manager Zhong spoke, he smashed a vase to vent his anger.

The vase shattered.

One of the shards flew past the assistant's trousers.

The assistant was terrified.

The next second, he glared at General Manager Zhong and warned, "I suggest you restrain yourself, otherwise I'll have the Security guards escort you out!"

"You want to kick me out? Then I'll hold up a banner outside the company every day and let the world see your true faces!"

General Manager Zhong was fearless.

He seemed to have turned into a dog-skin plaster stuck to her body.

Want to tear it off?

You'd have to peel off a layer of skin!

Su Kexuan watched General Manager Zhong's madness with cold eyes.

When he calmed down a little, she curled her lips, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Is this the idea the person behind you gave you? To be honest, it's pathetic."

"W-what person behind me!"

General Manager Zhong denied Su Kexuan's claim.

But his confidence was wavering, and he even avoided Su Kexuan's gaze.

Su Kexuan smiled and prepared to say something more.

The phone placed on the table suddenly rang.

She took a glance.

The call was from Sui Xin.

Su Kexuan didn't even think about it and rejected the call directly.

But less than three seconds later, the phone rang again.

Su Kexuan felt a bit annoyed.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then answered the phone: "What is it?"

"Kexuan, you need to be careful of my stepmother; she's planning to make a move against you recently!"

Sui Xin had been waiting for Song Yue to take action.

But this woman was exceptionally quiet.

Sui Xin really couldn't wait any longer, so she simply spilled the beans to Su Kexuan.

Her thinking was very simple.

As long as these two people could fight each other, no matter who ended up in trouble, Sui Xin would be the one to profit!

Sui Xin's little scheme was clicking away loudly.

Su Kexuan, however, only lightly raised an eyebrow and gave an uninterested "Oh."

This reaction made Sui Xin dissatisfied.

She felt she had been slighted.

But for the sake of her plan proceeding smoothly, she could only suppress this dissatisfaction.

Then she continued to earnestly advise: "Don't underestimate my stepmother; she used to work in media and is very skilled at manipulating public opinion. I don't know if she's been fueling the rumors about your company lately!"

Sui Xin was doing her utmost to sow discord.

She wanted to provoke Su Kexuan's wariness.

However...

Su Kexuan only felt she was wasting her time!

Rubbing her brow with her fingers, Su Kexuan gave a light hum: "You really have confidence in her."

Sui Xin caught the mockery in Su Kexuan's words.

But she was not discouraged and continued to distort the truth: "You must pay more attention to the people around you; be careful that my stepmother doesn't find someone to team up with to deal with you!"

"Do you have evidence for such a speculation?"

"... No."

"Isn't that just spreading rumors?"

"Ah? I—I just wanted you to be careful and not fall into her trap!"

"Thanks for the reminder, anything else?"

"Nothing, but..."

Before Sui Xin could finish speaking, Su Kexuan hung up the phone directly.

This infuriated Sui Xin.

She cursed at the phone: "Damn it, you little bitch! Sooner or later, your time for misfortune will come!!"

Sui Xin stood there, cursing at the air.

On the other side, Su Kexuan frowned and tossed her phone onto the desk.

As she looked at President Zhong, a smile returned to her face: "Where were we? Oh, talking about the person behind you."

President Zhong's expression at this moment was not very good.

He felt that Su Kexuan had answered that call right in front of him on purpose.

The goal was to let him know that she had grasped new dirt on him...

President Zhong felt increasingly uneasy.

He even wanted to open his mouth to inquire.

But his reason told him that if he spoke, he would lose...

President Zhong's gaze flickered.

And his inner struggle was all seen by Su Kexuan.

Her beautiful eyes turned, and Su Kexuan smiled: "President Zhong, if you have something to say, feel free to say it directly."

President Zhong's lips moved.

But he didn't manage to say a single word.

Su Kexuan didn't force him.

She shrugged and made arrangements for President Zhong: "If you want to stay, go to the Human Resources Department to register your information, then report to the Security Department."

Seeing that Su Kexuan still wanted to send him off to the Security Department, President Zhong was so angry he wanted to curse.

But after stewing for a long time...

"Your method of making things difficult for people is truly childish! Fine, if you want to play, I'll play along with you! It's just being a Security Guard, I'll see it through to the end!"

President Zhong suddenly changed his attitude and walked out of the office with a gloomy face.

But when he closed the door behind him, he did so with particular force.

The door was slammed by him with a thunderous sound.

Bang—

The assistant shrunk his shoulders involuntarily.

Afterwards, he turned his head to look at Su Kexuan: "Boss, President Zhong's performance today is strange."

"It is indeed a bit strange, but remember, you don't need to call him President Zhong anymore, just call him Lao Zhong."

"Ah? Judging by what you mean, you aren't even giving him a manager position?"

"Correct, just a regular Security Guard."

Su Kexuan was not joking.

If they were going to play, they would play for real.

When the time comes, he won't be able to shirk a single task that a Security Guard is required to undertake.

It might even be more.

After hearing this, the assistant murmured softly: "Given President Zhong's... Lao Zhong's personality, he definitely won't last two days."

"Not necessarily."

Su Kexuan said something ambiguous, then instructed: "Tell the Security Department not to assign him any important work."

"Understood, to prevent him from pulling any tricks."

"But he must do everything he is supposed to do; no special treatment is allowed."

"Don't worry about that; with Lao Zhong's current situation, it's already good enough that no one is making things difficult for him."

After saying this, the assistant sighed: "With no one acting as an inside man, Lao Zhong is now isolated and helpless, unlikely to achieve anything. Sigh, knowing this result, why does he insist on staying?"

Listening to the assistant, Su Kexuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Soon, Su Kexuan made a decision: "Find two people to follow Lao Zhong."

"Ah?" The assistant didn't quite understand, "Lao Zhong is already nothing to fear, is there a need for such a big fuss?"

"He is indeed of no value now; the only thing that might be useful is probably his life."

His life?

The assistant didn't quite understand and frowned in thought.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

He was seen slowly widening his eyes: "N-no way..."

"Perhaps I am overthinking it, but it is better to be safe than sorry."

"Understood, I'll go arrange it now!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
