Chapter 110: Big brother helps you get ahead!

Just as Lin Yuan was giving Zhai Qing a massage treatment.

Suddenly, the door of the fire escape stairwell was opened.

Su Zhiyuan walked into the fire escape stairwell wearing high heels, puzzled.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan and Zhai Qing had prepared in advance, worried someone might rush in and see them, so they hid on the upper level of the fire escape stairwell.

At this moment, Su Zhiyuan pushed open the door but did not see Lin Yuan and Zhai Qing.

"Strange? Where did Lin Yuan go?" Su Zhiyuan muttered, her beautiful eyes full of doubt.

She had just seen Lin Yuan leave, and Zhai Qing had also left.

To prevent the two from meeting, Su Zhiyuan secretly followed them.

But she secretly tailed Lin Yuan to the fire escape entrance, yet did not see him.

"Could I have been mistaken?" Su Zhiyuan whispered.

She clearly remembered that Lin Yuan had walked into this fire escape stairwell.

Su Zhiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes, utterly perplexed.

Meanwhile, on the upper level of the fire escape stairwell, Lin Yuan and Zhai Qing hid in a corner, both looking extremely flustered.

At this moment, Zhai Qing's white shirt was still undone.

She was in a "vacuum" state.

If Su Zhiyuan saw this, the relationship between Lin Yuan and Zhai Qing would be impossible to wash clean, even jumping into the Yellow River.

Lin Yuan and Zhai Qing held their breath, neither daring to make a sound.

At this time, seeing she could not find Lin Yuan, Su Zhiyuan could only leave the fire escape stairwell.

The fire escape stairwell door was closed again, and Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's phone rang—it was a call from Su Zhiyuan.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had previously set his phone to silent, so he ignored it and continued massaging Zhai Qing.

However, due to the sudden incident just now, Lin Yuan, in his panic, accidentally opened his eyes.

As a result, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw a dizzying scene before him.

This, really is dizzy.

This, really is both swaying and dizzy.

"You… who let you look?! Close your eyes quickly!" Zhai Qing's pretty face instantly flushed red as she snapped angrily.

"Ah… sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to!" Lin Yuan explained flusteredly, hurriedly closing his eyes.

Lin Yuan continued giving Zhai Qing treatment.

Under his repeated treatments,

Zhai Qing's pretty face, her complexion grew increasingly strange.

Finally, her pretty face… completely turned the color of a red pomelo.

This, as if her spiritual world were undergoing layer after layer of change.

This feeling is truly wonderful.

Zhai Qing had never experienced this feeling before.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan finally finished the massage session.

"All right, the first session is over, Miss Zhai—how do you feel?" Lin Yuan withdrew his hand and asked.

Zhai Qing's delicate body lightly leaned against the wall because she could not stand steady.

After one session of treatment, she already felt unsteady on her feet, her knees going weak.

"It seems, it seems the swelling sensation has indeed diminished a lot?" Zhai Qing's pretty face showed some surprise and doubt.

These past few days, her left side has had a persistent faint feeling of fullness.

Due to hyperplasia, she occasionally experiences this sensation.

But after Lin Yuan's round of treatment just now, this feeling of fullness disappeared.

Zhai Qing actually felt really light, as light as a swallow, refreshed and invigorated.

"Well, before I massaged you, your stagnation was still there; just now I used traditional Chinese medical massage techniques to drain your stagnation and dispel your dampness, so you should feel light now," Lin Yuan said, nodding.

"It seems, indeed. Chinese medical massage, it seems to have some effect?" Zhai Qing exclaimed delightedly.

However, at this moment, Zhai Qing suddenly realized her clothes were still not properly on.

"Ah… you, you close your eyes first." Zhai Qing warned in a panic.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only close his eyes.

Zhai Qing hurriedly put on the "Zhao".

Then she put on her shirt properly.

"All right, you can open your eyes now." Zhai Qing said, her pretty face blushing.

At this moment, her stunning pretty face was already suffused with red.

"Lin Yuan, from now on, can I often come see you? I'd like to have long‑term treatment with you." Zhai Qing said softly.

Lin Yuan stared for a moment, this…

"Miss Zhai, are you sure? If it's long‑term treatment, it would take many sessions. Moreover… you're not married, nor do you have a boyfriend—would that be convenient? Wouldn't you feel I'm taking advantage of you?" Lin Yuan asked cautiously.

"No, no, you're helping me treat my illness; rest assured, I won't blame you." Zhai Qing shook her head repeatedly.

Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Um, that's fine. But you can only come see me when I'm free. I'm usually swamped with work on weekdays and have no time to treat you. Only after I get off work, is that okay?"

Zhai Qing nodded repeatedly, "Sure, then it's settled."

After Zhai Qing and Lin Yuan thanked each other, they then left the fire escape stairwell.

At this moment, her father Zhai Zhijiang was also very drunk.

Zhai Qing left the Su Group with her father.

……

In the afternoon, the Su Group's senior leadership held an important meeting.

Lin Yuan achieved great merit this time.

The board of directors convened a meeting of all shareholders, intending to properly commend Lin Yuan.

Without Lin Yuan, this cooperation with the Zhai Group could not have been signed.

At the meeting, the shareholders were preparing to commend Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, your performance was not bad; you successfully secured the cooperation contract with the Zhai Group." The board members nodded in satisfaction.

But just then, Sun Licheng suddenly said, "What does this have to do with Lin Yuan? Everyone, the reason the Zhai Group could sign the contract is entirely due to the merit of the Wind Control Department Director, Lu Chengyu."

Sun Licheng suddenly pushed Lu Chengyu forward.

He was trying to let Lu Chengyu take the credit.

In the meeting room, Lu Chengyu slowly rose and said, "This matter was indeed facilitated by me."

Lu Chengyu explained, "Actually, before Zhai Zhijiang and Lin Yuan met, my Wind Control Department had already met and talked with Director Zhai many times, including last night when I also arranged a meal with Director Zhai. But then Lin Yuan, that bastard, got ahead of us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression changed instantly.

To steal credit like this is really going too far, isn't it?

"Lu Chengyu, you're talking nonsense! Last night, the cooperation was secured entirely by Lin Yuan; I was there and can prove it!" Su Zhiyuan could not take it anymore and shouted angrily.

But Lu Chengyu coldly snorted and produced the so-called evidence.

They were all meeting records and documents of his negotiations with Zhai Zhijiang in important settings.

These documents indeed recorded everything clearly.

Su Monong glanced at the document and sneered, "Sun Licheng, your forgery skills are getting better and better? Now you can even fake meeting minutes and documents?"

This document is obviously forged by Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng said coldly, "These documents are genuine records; Su Monong, don't talk nonsense! I have one question for everyone: Lin Yuan is just a lowly secretary—how could he possibly secure a deal with the Zhai Group?"

"Even with all our senior executives stepping forward, we couldn't get Zhai Zhijiang to cooperate. He, Lin Yuan, is merely a secretary—how could he possibly secure a deal with the Zhai Group?" Sun Licheng asked.

These words indeed left the board's shareholders speechless.

The shareholders also didn't really believe it—could Lin Yuan alone truly have secured this cooperation?

"The cooperation with Zhai Zhijiang rests entirely on Lu Chengyu's merit! Without his repeated early‑stage coordination, this deal couldn't have been made! Therefore, this cooperation's merit belongs entirely to the Wind Control Department Director, Lu Chengyu!" Sun Licheng began blatantly grabbing credit.

"Sun Licheng, you've gone too far." Su Monong could bear it no longer and shouted in anger.

But Sun Licheng directly threw out a stack of so‑called 'evidence'.

These pieces of evidence are photos taken when Lu Chengyu liaised with Zhai Zhijiang, various meeting minutes, and so on……

Seeing these things, Su Monong's chest trembled with anger.

She is a very law‑abiding entrepreneur who never engages in deceit.

But people like her are no match for someone as deceitful and treacherous as Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng can forge, frame, and engage in deceit.

All this so‑called evidence material is fabricated.

Yet the shareholders present believed it.

Because everyone felt that Lin Yuan seemed unlikely to secure this cooperation.

Only Lu Chengyu could possibly secure the cooperation.

In the end, this merit was actually taken away. The board believed Sun Licheng's words.

Lu Chengyu became the main contributor.

While Lin Yuan became a secondary contributor.

All the merit was taken by Lu Chengyu.

Lin Yuan was somewhat annoyed; the merit he had painstakingly earned was actually taken away so easily?

Lin Yuan on the spot rebutted and questioned Lu Chengyu.

But Lin Yuan, like Su Monong, is a rule‑following person.

People like them, who are honest and rule‑abiding, are fundamentally no match for Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng, with just a few words, left Lin Yuan unable to rebut.

Finally, the board also gave Lin Yuan a scolding.

Lin Yuan harbored a bellyful of anger, feeling very upset.

After the meeting ended, Lin Yuan stormed out of the meeting room angrily.

Su Monong and her daughter also left the meeting room following him.

After returning to her office, Su Monong picked up her phone and called Zhai Zhijiang.

"Director Zhai, this cooperation of our Su Group probably cannot continue; we need to suspend it temporarily." Su Monong's face turned cold as she spoke slowly.

Since Sun Licheng dares to use underhanded tactics, don't blame Su Monong for being unjust.

On the other end of the line, Zhai Zhijiang exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Director Su, what's going on? We just signed the agreement this morning—how could we halt cooperation this afternoon??"

Su Monong held the phone and said coldly, "Our group has internal shareholder strife; this matter…… is quite troublesome, sorry……"

……

At this moment, Lin Yuan returned to his office.

A few minutes later, Zhai Qing suddenly called him.

Lin Yuan was startled, then answered the call.

"Lin Yuan, I heard that the credit for your cooperation negotiation was snatched away??" Zhai Qing asked on the other end.

Lin Yuan heard this and was stunned, "Miss Zhai, how did you know?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhai Qing replied, "Director Su just called my father, saying he wants to terminate cooperation with our group. My father asked the reason and only then learned that your shareholders are fighting internally, and your contribution has been snatched away. Lin Yuan, is this really true??"

Lin Yuan helplessly replied, "Yes."

On the other end of the phone, Zhai Qing instantly flared up, "How outrageous! This can't just be left like that! Lin Yuan! Rest assured, I'll call my father right away! I'll have my father back you up on this!"

Lin Yuan was about to persuade him, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

But Zhai Qing had already hung up the phone.

……

Lin Yuan hurriedly went to Su Monong's office to inquire.

Su Monong nodded and said, "I was the one who told Zhai Zhijiang. Since Sun Licheng lacks benevolence, I shouldn't be blamed for lacking righteousness. Lin Yuan, I will definitely give you an explanation for this. If Zhai Zhijiang is willing to come, that shows he values you highly; Zhai Zhijiang is a person of upright character, and cooperation with the Zhai Group can continue."

"But if he refuses to come… then Zhai Zhijiang's character isn't great either. Last night he swore brotherhood with you, today he doesn't care about you. Working with such a person is also disadvantageous for the Su Group; not cooperating is fine too." Su Monong said with deep, beautiful eyes.

This move, she is both testing Zhai Zhijiang and taking revenge on Sun Licheng.

……

In the afternoon, within the Wind Control Department office of the Su Group.

Lu Chengyu had achieved a great feat, received recognition from the board of directors, and even got his salary raised to 1.2 times.

Lu Chengyu was showing off to his colleagues in the Wind Control Department, boasting in various ways.

Lu Chengyu was feeling extremely happy at this moment.

He also ordered Starbucks takeout for his colleagues, planning to celebrate properly.

……

Several minutes later.

Outside the Su Group building, a Mercedes-Benz suddenly braked sharply and stopped in front of the building.

Zhai Zhijiang and his daughter Zhai Qing got out of the car coldly, and the father and daughter rushed straight into the Su Group.

Zhai Zhijiang went straight to the Wind Control Department office.

At that moment, Lu Chengyu was drinking Starbucks coffee with his colleagues, celebrating.

"Bang!" Suddenly the office door was pushed open, and Zhai Zhijiang and his daughter stormed in angrily.

"Director Zhai, how come you're here?" Lu Chengyu turned his head, saw him, and immediately stepped forward respectfully to greet.

Zhai Zhijiang rushed forward and unleashed a torrent of anger: "Your name is Lu Chengyu, right?"

Lu Chengyu was taken aback by the words, nodded and said, "Yes, Director Zhai, we've met before; I've invited you out several times, and we've had coffee together."

Lu Chengyu had indeed previously invited Zhai Zhijiang multiple times, hoping to discuss cooperation with the Zhai Group.

But Zhai Zhijiang didn't give him face at the time and directly refused Lu Chengyu.

"Had coffee? When did I ever drink coffee with a lackey?" Zhai Zhijiang snapped sarcastically.

Swish! Upon hearing that, Lu Chengyu's smile froze instantly.

"No, Director Zhai… this?" Lu Chengyu was about to speak when Zhai Zhijiang cut him off.

"It's you, you little bastard, daring to steal my little brother Lin Yuan's achievements? And you claim the cooperation between the Zhai Group and your group is all thanks to you negotiating it? Who the hell do you think you are, you lackey? When have I ever discussed cooperation with you? Are you even qualified to talk to me?!" Zhai Zhijiang shouted, berating him from head to toe.

Lu Chengyu was completely dumbfounded by the scolding, and hurriedly explained, "No, Director Zhai, there's a misunderstanding here..."

"Misunderstanding? I'll misunderstand your mother!" Zhai Zhijiang originally wanted to keep his gentlemanly demeanor, but at this moment his true nature was fully exposed.

Zhai Zhijiang had been putting on airs all morning, trying to appear refined, but now that he was angry, the explosive temper of the old masters surged forth.

Zhai Zhijiang is essentially a rough-and-tumble big shot; he can't stand seeing his brothers bullied!

"You damned thing! Still talking about misunderstanding? Come, let's go to Lin Yuan's office and sort this out properly—let's see where the misunderstanding lies!" Zhai Zhijiang said, grabbing Lu Chengyu's hair in one fist.

"Don't… Director Zhai… it hurts, it hurts……" Lu Chengyu's face turned pale from the pain; he had no chance to resist, being dragged straight out of the Wind Control Department office by Zhai Zhijiang…
