Chapter 2250: The Boss Has Fallen in Love

"So, do you have any ideas on how to manage it?"

"Hmm, I want to expand the existing racing team, select some good prospects, and build more advanced training grounds. Oh, and the big one is buying new race cars!"

At the mention of buying race cars, Jiang Mobai's eyes sparkled.

But one sentence from Su Kexuan brought him back to reality: "That's also the biggest money pit, right?"

Uh...

That was indeed the case.

Jiang Mobai scratched the back of his head and muttered, "You're not wrong. It's like a bottomless pit; no matter how much money you throw in, you never see the bottom."

"Then is this industry profitable? If it makes money, I can invest."

Su Kexuan said it very tactfully.

Yet Jiang Mobai heard her intention to help.

But this time, Jiang Mobai wanted to rely on his own strength to complete this transformation of his status.

So, he smiled at Su Kexuan and politely declined: "Once things stabilize and I'm sure it can make money, I'll tell you."

Su Kexuan knew that Jiang Mobai had understood her hint.

And she also understood the subtext of Jiang Mobai's words.

There was no need for extra words.

This was a tacit understanding that belonged to the two of them.

As for what lay behind this tacit understanding...

Su Kexuan did not continue to think about it.

She stood up from the sofa and said, "I'm going to go see how your flowers are blooming."

"They're over here, let me introduce them to you!"

When it came to his flowers, Jiang Mobai was truly inexhaustible.

He had even given each pot of flowers a name.

Those names... were tacky enough.

Su Kexuan had to try very hard to suppress the urge to roast them.

She did not interrupt Jiang Mobai's endless chatter; she listened quietly, nodding in agreement from time to time.

If the Su Kexuan of the past had seen this scene, she would definitely have felt she was wasting her time.

As for now...

She was listening with great interest.

A gentle smile hung on the corners of her lips.

The next day—

Whether it was Su Kexuan's imagination or not, after arriving at the company, she could still smell the floral scent clinging to her clothes.

This faint fragrance put her in a good mood.

After entering the company, she smiled and responded to every employee who greeted her.

After Su Kexuan walked past, three employees gathered together and whispered, "Why does it feel like our boss has become prettier?"

"The boss was already pretty."

"Oh, no, she's even prettier. How should I put it... her skin is glowing, her mood is sunny, she's walking with a spring in her step, and she looks kindly at everyone."

"Your description... isn't that just the state someone is in after falling in love!"

"Oh, you're right! Could it be that our boss is in love?"

"Very likely!"

The few of them were excited, as if they had discovered a new continent.

The topic of discussion also shifted from Su Kexuan to potential candidates she might be romantically involved with.

And this female boss being discussed, just as she pushed open the door to her office, the smile on her face faded slightly.

At this moment, someone was already sitting inside the office.

It was Lao Zhong.

Su Kexuan closed the office door behind her and asked, "Why is your complexion so poor? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lao Zhong indeed hadn't slept well lately.

He looked quite haggard as well.

But that wasn't the point.

Lao Zhong stared straight at Su Kexuan and demanded, "How did you know that person was going to use me as bait?"

Su Kexuan was very frank: "I investigated you all."

"You were able to investigate that? That shouldn't be... he said it would be very safe..."

Su Kexuan chuckled: "I already told you, don't trust that person's words too much; he's just deceiving you."

"Then can I trust what you say? I feel like neither of you are good people!"

"But you clearly trust me more, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me to lay your cards on the table."

"It's not laying my cards on the table... I'm just here to chat with you."

Lao Zhong's tone gradually weakened.

Su Kexuan could also see that he was just putting on a brave front.

At a time like this, one only needed to deliver a heavy blow to break through his psychological defenses.

Su Kexuan thought for a moment and said with a faint smile: "Fine, since you're already here, I might as well tell you some of the truth."

Lao Zhong looked over, his eyes filled with wariness.

"I have a grudge against the real mastermind; he wants to use a 'killing two birds with one stone' scheme to get rid of both you and me. That way, he gets his revenge and also eliminates you, a hidden threat."

Su Kexuan's tone was too steady.

So steady, it was as if this were the truth.

The truth shook Lao Zhong's convictions.

It also made him suddenly become very frantic: "You have no proof for what you say!"

Su Kexuan, however, remained calm.

She stared at Lao Zhong with quiet eyes.

Then she spoke slowly: "Then answer me, did the task the other party arranged for you change?"

This point was something Su Kexuan had deduced.

The other party must have assigned Lao Zhong some misleading tasks.

These tasks were very difficult to complete.

Lao Zhong was willing but lacked the ability.

At that moment, when a second task was offered, Lao Zhong, having already failed once, would naturally want to seize the opportunity firmly.

But looking at Lao Zhong's reaction right now...

Su Kexuan realized something.

She curled her lips and asked Lao Zhong, whose face had already changed color: "Does the new task concern your life or death?"

In that instant, Lao Zhong's complexion became even uglier.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan delivered another fatal blow: "To tell you the truth, the person contacting you is just working for someone else; he is not the real decision-maker."

Regarding this point, Lao Zhong had already been suspicious.

But then Su Kexuan said it so calmly...

Lao Zhong collapsed.

He knew that, in the end, everything was under someone else's control!

Seeing the facts clearly, Lao Zhong sat there dejectedly, his eyes staring blankly.

It seemed he had given up resisting.

Su Kexuan naturally had to seize the opportunity to ask the key question: "So, what did they make you risk doing?"

"... Setting a fire inside the building."

Once Lao Zhong realized what he had said, he was shocked.

He looked at Su Kexuan in a panic.

He saw a cold sneer flash across the woman's face.

That smile was like a sharp blade.

It was so sharp it made one's eyes ache.

"Playing for such high stakes, are they?"

Su Kexuan gently rubbed her forehead, thinking about how to return the "big gift" the other party had prepared.

As for Lao Zhong, since he had already opened his mouth, he simply gritted his teeth and said what he shouldn't have: "His main target is the company's core data!"

"Heh, it seems the other party doesn't just want my life, but also wants to destroy my career; what a ruthless heart!"

Su Kexuan sighed, then looked at Lao Zhong: "It's fortunate you abandoned darkness for light, otherwise you would have become a criminal."

Abandoned darkness for light?

What kind of "light" was Su Kexuan!

If he hadn't had no other choice, he wouldn't have come to find Su Kexuan!

Lao Zhong couldn't be bothered to flatter her; he averted his gaze from Su Kexuan and said bluntly: "What are you going to do next?"

"Set a fire!"

Just two words made Lao Zhong look at Su Kexuan in disbelief.

He thought he had misheard.

But Su Kexuan's subsequent explanation told Lao Zhong that he had not misheard.

"This fire cannot happen inside the building; it needs an open space that is easy to arrange in advance."

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