Chapter 17: Director Su, I Was Wrong

"Director Su, I was wrong. I shouldn't have given you such strong liquor; let me pour you a cup of hot water..." Lin Yuan said hurriedly.

Although Su Monong was drunk now, Lin Yuan would not take advantage of a woman's intoxication—that kind of thing is not good. Moreover, this woman is his female leader.

Lin Yuan never takes advantage of someone's peril.

"What are you panicking about? I'm not going to eat you." Su Monong said in a soft, alluring voice, her eyes now silky.

"Director Su... you're really drunk." Lin Yuan shook his head in panic.

"Hehehe~" Su Monong laughed, laughing with endless charm, "Stinky little brother, rest assured, sister won't let you take advantage of someone's peril—this is called bringing charcoal in the snow..."

Inside the dilapidated rental house, the atmosphere heated up.

A layer of mist spread across the window glass of the rental house.

Unbeknownst to them, the dishes on the table had already gone cold...

"Ding-ling-ling~" Just then, Su Monong's phone ringtone suddenly sounded, breaking this amorous atmosphere.

Su Monong felt guilty, hurriedly picked up her phone and saw the caller ID: 【Daughter】.

Hmm?

A call from her daughter?

Su Monong didn't answer, tossing the phone aside.

As Chairman, she had to teach Lin Yuan many workplace skills.

Su Monong was very patient, so she taught by both word and deed.

But at this moment, the phone rang again.

"Ding-ling-ling~ ding-ling-ling~" The familiar ringtone of the iPhone sounded continuously without pause.

Her daughter Su Zhiyuan kept calling nonstop.

She seemed a bit irritable, so Su Monong could only pick up the phone and answer the call.

"Mom, it's already eleven p. m., why aren't you home yet? Where are you?" came the concerned voice of her daughter Su Zhiyuan from the other end.

Normally, Mother would be home before eleven p. m.

But today it's past eleven, and Mother still hasn't returned?

So the daughter was a little worried.

"Hmm, it's fine~ Mom is drinking with business partners and discussing a contract. Honey, go to sleep first, you don't need to worry about Mom~" Su Monong said, slurring from drink, holding the phone.

On the other end, Su Zhiyuan heard her mother's tone and grew more worried: "Mom, why is your speech all slurred? Did you drink too much? Mom, come back soon~ Where are you? Shall I drive over to pick you up?"

Su Zhiyuan was somewhat worried about her mother.

After all, her mother is very beautiful; such a lovely single young woman out there will surely be eyed by many men.

Su Zhiyuan feared her mother would be taken advantage of by those despicable men.

"It's fine, honey, don't worry about Mom…… Mom isn't drunk." Su Monong replied, her voice slurring.

"Mom? Why is your speech all muddled? What exactly are you up to? Haven't you been taken advantage of?" On the other end, Su Zhiyuan grew even more worried.

In this tone and situation, her daughter Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but think more.

"Honey~ rest assured, Mom really is fine; Mom is still drinking, and there's a big contract with a pharmaceutical factory that hasn't been settled yet. Tonight, Mom must nail that deal~ Rest assured, Secretary Lin Yuan is also at the table; he'll look after me~" Su Monong said, slurring, holding the phone.

Saying that, Su Monong also handed the phone to Lin Yuan, letting him take the call and say a few words to her daughter.

Lin Yuan was completely frightened.

Good heavens, Director Su really dared to get drunk like that!

She even dared to hand the phone over to her daughter?

"Um... Miss Su, rest assured, Director Su has me with her; she'll be fine, she's still negotiating the contract with the pharmaceutical factory." Lin Yuan could only lower his voice and say.

On the other end, Su Zhiyuan heard Lin Yuan's voice and then relaxed a little.

"Lin Yuan, take good care of my mom, don't let her drink too much. Also, after the contract is settled, immediately send her home—got it? If any man tries to invite her for a late-night snack, to the next place? Refuse them all! Got it! Don't let my mom have too much contact with those despicable men in the business world!" Su Zhiyuan urged solemnly over the phone.

"Um... Miss Su, rest assured, I will take good care of Director Su." Lin Yuan replied seriously, holding the phone.

At this very moment, Su Monong also leaned in, speaking drunkenly into the phone: "Dear daughter, just rest easy—Lin Yuan will look after me… You should go to sleep early, no need to wait for me…"

When Su Monong said the two words "take care," she deliberately drew them out.

Those two words carry deep meaning.

On the other end, Su Zhiyuan reminded Lin Yuan a few more times, insisting he must ensure her mother's safety.

Lin Yuan repeatedly agreed.

Only then did Su Zhiyuan feel relieved and hang up.

"Hehehe~ Lin Yuan, isn't my precious daughter a bit annoying?" Su Monong, now drunk, spoke incoherently.

"Um... Director Su, your daughter is also concerned about you; it's getting late, why don't we just call it a night? I'll send you home early, otherwise your daughter might suspect something~" Lin Yuan reminded softly.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's heart was still racing; he had truly been frightened to death just now.

If Miss Su were to find out.

She would definitely not let him off!

She might even have someone break Lin Yuan's leg.

So Lin Yuan feared being discovered.

But it's all right—he had a scare but came out unharmed.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was anxious to get Su Monong home quickly.

"Xiao Yuan, I'm not in a hurry, why are you rushing? There's still half a vat of liquor left; let's finish it before heading home—no rush..." Su Monong said, slurring.

"Director Su... let's drink another day; you're really drunk..." Lin Yuan hadn't finished speaking...

Su Monong then covered his mouth.
