Chapter 19: Entangled by the Heiress

Gu Shiyan's beautiful eyes narrowed, she said coldly, "Not moving? Then you're opposing our Administrative Department? Do you believe I'll get Sun Licheng to give you a severe punishment?"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, Sun Licheng?

That's the Chief Executive Officer of the Su Group, Sun Licheng.

Using Sun Licheng to pressure him.

Lin Yuan said coldly, "You're using General Manager Sun to pressure me, right?"

Gu Shiyan said sarcastically, "I'm just doing my job. Lin Yuan, why can't you work in the storage room? You're young, yet you lack even the ability to overcome this difficulty—how can you be a secretary?"

Lin Yuan said coldly, "The company's office resources are tight—did you get upper-level approval?"

He guessed it—this time Gu Shiyan is surely taking the opportunity to suppress and retaliate.

Lin Yuan was promoted to secretary, taking over Gu Shiyan's position.

This woman probably wants to take the chance to retaliate!

Gu Shiyan, however, sneered, "Nonsense, of course it was approved by superiors! Your office has been requisitioned, already approved by the Administrative Department. Director Li also signed it."

Gu Shiyan said while producing an approval document.

Looking at the three characters "Li Jiayi" signed on the approval document, Lin Yuan's face turned cold.

Li Jiayi is the Administrative Director of the Su Clan Pharmaceutical Group and also the overall head of the Administrative Department.

At 33, she became Administrative Director at a young age, showing how strong her abilities are.

Who would have thought that Li Jiayi would back her up in this matter?

"Lin Yuan, what are you standing there for? Don't block the doorway, move aside." Gu Shiyan brushed past him coldly.

A pleasant fragrance trailed her.

But Lin Yuan had no leisure to appreciate it.

Watching Lin Yuan move into the storage room…

The coworkers all chatted, everyone mocking and watching the spectacle.

Watching Gu Shiyan's retreating figure, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.

You really think he's an easy target because he's honest, right?

Lin Yuan didn't hold back either; a few minutes later, he simply moved his entire desk and chair to the entrance of Gu Shiyan's office.

At that moment, Gu Shiyan was sitting in her office when she suddenly heard a commotion outside?

Gu Shiyan walked out puzzled to look—she was completely dumbfounded?

All that could be seen was Lin Yuan moving his desk and chair straight to the entrance of her office, blocking the doorway.

Gu Shiyan's delicate body trembled with anger, "Lin Yuan! What are you doing?! Who let you move your desk to my doorway?!"

Lin Yuan explained solemnly, "Gu Shiyan, I'm also considering the company's interests—since office space is so tight, I should conserve resources and not waste the storage room. Coincidentally, there's plenty of space at your office entrance, so I'll work there from now on. Everyone is just… residing."

Gu Shiyan's delicate body trembled with anger, "Residing my foot!! You have ten minutes to move your desk immediately!! Otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Lin Yuan was also stubborn; he plopped down in front of his desk and began opening his laptop to work.

"Didn't you hear me?!" Gu Shiyan shouted angrily.

Lin Yuan ignored her.

Gu Shiyan flared, "Lin Yuan, don't force me to call security."

Lin Yuan lifted his head and replied coldly, "Go ahead and shout—I'm the Chairman's Secretary; see which security guard dares to move my desk? Gu Shiyan, I'll put this out there: if my desk is moved even a bit today, I'll bring ten more desks and line them all up at your office entrance."

Against a scheming woman, one must use rogue tactics.

At this moment, Lin Yuan is just a rogue.

"You……" Gu Shiyan trembled with anger, but she could do nothing about Lin Yuan.

Gu Shiyan never expected that merely targeting Lin Yuan would end up bringing this plague god to her office doorway.

Helpless, Gu Shiyan could only turn back to her office in anger and slam the door shut.

Lin Yuan sneered, then simply pulled out his phone and started playing the song "Phoenix Legend":

"You are the most beautiful cloud at the horizon…… Let me cherish you and keep you……"

Inside the office, Gu Shiyan heard this noisy music and was practically driven mad…

……

Meanwhile, at this moment, the 50th floor, the Chairman's Office.

Su Monong was sitting in her office chair handling affairs.

A female assistant stepped forward and reported to her that Lin Yuan had been transferred to work beside the storage room.

"Oh? Lin Secretary was transferred to work in the storage room? Who ordered that?" Su Monong frowned and asked.

The female assistant replied, "It was Gu Shiyan who ordered it, but behind her is the Administrative Director, Li Jiayi's signature."

Hearing this, Su Monong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Administrative Director Li Jiayi? Huh……" Su Monong lightly pursed her lips.

This Administrative Director Li Jiayi is a second shareholder of the Su Group and a close confidant of Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng, namely the current second-in-command of the Su Group and its Chief Executive Officer.

Back when Su Monong started her business, Sun Licheng was her partner.

Over the years, as the Su Group grew larger, its market value now exceeds three billion, preparing for an IPO.

But in recent years, Sun Licheng has become increasingly restless; he's not satisfied with being a second shareholder, wanting to acquire more shares and even replace Su Monong as Chairman.

Over these years, Sun Licheng has covertly targeted Su Monong; anyone from her faction has suffered his secret suppression.

At this time, Lin Yuan, as Su Monong's secretary, had only been on the job a few days when he suffered suppression.

"Gu Shiyan this girl, she's really being used as a pawn." Su Monong muttered to herself.

Gu Shiyan, merely a tool being used.

And the mastermind behind it should be Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng wants to suppress Lin Yuan, this secretary, and take the opportunity to target Su Monong.

"Director Su, should we lend Lin Yuan a hand?" the female assistant asked cautiously.

Su Monong slowly shook her head. "No need; this is a good chance to observe Lin Yuan and see how he handles workplace suppression. If he can't even pass this hurdle, he's not qualified to be my white-glove."

……

At this moment, Lin Yuan sat outside Gu Shiyan's office, listening to Phoenix Legend's 【Most Ethnic Style】 while handling paperwork, completely leisurely.

By the way, today is the 15th, payday.

Lin Yuan was waiting to receive the salary notification.

The creditors from his hometown have come again to demand payment, and Lin Yuan still has a large debt to repay.

Every month, his salary is promptly sent home to repay debts.

So Lin Yuan is short of money.

But Lin Yuan waited in the office all morning and still didn't receive the salary notification?

Strange?

This isn't normal, is it?

According to before, the salary was paid in the morning.

Lin Yuan then went to the finance department to verify.

But the finance department told him his salary had been temporarily withheld, payment suspended.

"What?! Why is my salary being withheld for no reason?" Lin Yuan asked urgently.

But the finance department replied, "Sorry, we don't know either; it was Vice President Su Zhiyuan who ordered us to withhold your salary."

Whoosh! Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's face changed!

Vice President Su Zhiyuan?

It's actually that woman.

Last night, Su Zhiyuan wanted to humiliate Lin Yuan, but ended up being rebuked by him instead.

I never expected her to order his salary withheld today.

This woman is deliberately taking revenge!

Lin Yuan could only turn and leave the finance office.

"Oh right, Lin Yuan, General Manager Su also left a message: she said… if you want your salary, go to her office." The finance staff reminded him.

Lin Yuan froze upon hearing that.

This woman is clearly trying to take the opportunity to humiliate Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan suppressed his anger and turned away directly.

Having him go find Su Zhiyuan is absolutely impossible.

Even if he starved to death, Lin Yuan would never go find Su Zhiyuan!

……

Ten minutes later, Lin Yuan arrived at Su Zhiyuan's office door.

He hesitated for a long time, then gently knocked on the door.

"Who?" a cold female voice came from inside the office.

"Miss Su, it's me… Lin Yuan." Lin Yuan replied softly.

"Oh? Come in." Su Zhiyuan inside replied lightly.

Lin Yuan entered the office apprehensively.

The young lady Su Zhiyuan was wearing a nice office lady uniform, sitting at her desk.

"Do you need something?" Su Zhiyuan said coldly.

"Um, Miss Su… I heard from finance that you withheld my salary? Could you… make an exception? I'm really short of money lately." Lin Yuan lowered his stance.

There's no helping it; when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

"Oh? You're short of money?" A cold arc rose on Su Zhiyuan's stunning red lips. Originally she had worried she couldn't handle Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan was short of money, she felt relieved.

You little dog even have a weakness! Ha!

"You want your salary, right? First sit down and have a cup of tea." Su Zhiyuan said, pouring him a cup and moving it in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was somewhat suspicious; why would this woman have him drink tea?

But seeing the cup before him, Lin Yuan still took a sip.

After swallowing a sip of tea, Lin Yuan instantly felt something was off?

No! There's something wrong with this tea?!

Lin Yuan instantly felt his hands go limp, his whole body's muscles soft, his consciousness hazy.

"Miss Su, what did you put in this tea?" Lin Yuan asked in shock.

"Hmph! You little dog, didn't expect you'd fall into my hands? I just put a little sedative in this tea… I didn't expect your body to be so strong? You haven't passed out yet?" Su Zhiyuan lightly pursed her red lips, a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.

Whoosh! Lin Yuan's face suddenly changed!

This girl actually put a sedative in the tea??

"Miss Su… I have no grudge against you… what… what are you going to do?" Lin Yuan said weakly.

At this moment, the sedative in his system was taking effect, and Lin Yuan felt his consciousness growing more hazy.

Su Zhiyuan coldly laughed, "What? Huh… of course I'm teaching you, you little dog a lesson. Don't worry, I'll be gentle."

Su Zhiyuan said as she stood up, directly locking the office door from the inside to keep outsiders out.

Then she took out a binding rope, a leather whip, and a candle from the bookshelf.

Lin Yuan saw what she held in her hand, and his expression changed.

What is this crazy girl going to do?

Su Zhiyuan directly came to Lin Yuan's side, and she used the rope to bind him to the chair……

Lin Yuan's consciousness was hazy; at this moment he could not resist……
