Chapter 2: A Pie Falls from the Sky

"Ah……!" Su Zhiyuan let out a sharp scream, panicking as she clutched her chest with her hands.

"Bastard! Dead pervert!" Su Zhiyuan threw the stockings in her hand at him in the same motion.

Her black stockings happened to land on Lin Yuan's face, and a woman's faint fragrance drifted over.

Lin Yuan was completely dazed, repeatedly explaining, "No, Miss Su, hear me out—I just came to borrow the toilet……"

"Get out!" Su Zhiyuan shouted angrily.

Lin Yuan could only retreat from the bathroom in a panic.

As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, he ran into Su Monong, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Lin Yuan! You pervert! Are you stealing my daughter's stockings?!" Su Monong, seeing the stockings on his face, immediately shouted in anger.

Lin Yuan tried to explain, "General Manager Su, it's a misunderstanding……"

"Smack!" Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Su Monong swung a slap……

Fortunately, Lin Yuan reacted quickly and dodged it.

At that moment, Su Zhiyuan also wrapped herself in a towel and angrily rushed out.

"Director Su, Miss Su, hear me out! I only came to borrow the restroom—who knew it would just happen like that……" Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

Su Zhiyuan also raised her jade hand and swung it over!

Lin Yuan finally couldn't take it anymore, directly reaching out to grab Su Zhiyuan's wrist.

"Miss Su, I already said it's a misunderstanding—why are you still getting physical?!" Lin Yuan really felt a bit annoyed.

This driver really feels stifled.

If it weren't for the fact that he had served two years in prison and couldn't find any other decent job, he wouldn't want to do this miserable work.

Earning a pittance while having to repay huge debts, workers truly feel stifled!

"Ah…… you bastard, you grabbed me and it hurts!" Su Zhiyuan shouted angrily. She was so furious she fiercely kicked her jade foot at Lin Yuan's crotch.

Lin Yuan directly clamped his legs around her jade foot, not letting her move.

"Lin Yuan, what are you doing? Let go of my daughter!" Su Monong spoke up.

Lin Yuan could only let her go.

Su Zhiyuan stared at Lin Yuan, wishing she could kill him.

At that moment, Su Monong also said coldly, "Enough, Lin Yuan, aren't you leaving yet? What are you still doing hanging around my house?"

Lin Yuan was driven out of the villa by the mother and daughter.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from upstairs in the villa—Su Monong's voice: "Be at my house tomorrow morning at 8 a. m., or I'll deduct a month's pay for being late!"

……

The next morning at 8 a. m.

Lin Yuan drove, picking up and dropping off Director Su on time to go to the company.

After Lin Yuan drove and arrived at the company.

Miss Su Zhiyuan, the young lady of wealth, also drove a fiery red Ferrari, roaring as she pulled up to the entrance of the Su Clan Pharmaceutical Group.

The Su Clan Pharmaceutical Group, founded by Su Monong herself, had grown into the largest pharmaceutical conglomerate in Jiangnan in just over a decade.

And her daughter, Su Zhiyuan, also works at her mother's company.

However, the mother and daughter have different commuting habits; Mother Su Monong employs driver Lin Yuan to pick her up and drop her off every day.

While daughter Su Zhiyuan prefers to go alone, so she drives her sports car to work every day.

Su Monong walked into the company in high heels, feeling her legs weak all the way, and she still hasn't recovered.

Her husband has been dead for over a decade, and these years Su Monong has remained single.

Last night really was a bargain for that bastard Lin Yuan.

Su Monong cursed inwardly, gritting her teeth as she walked into the group……

……

Lin Yuan then returned to his driver's office; he had just sat down when he suddenly got a call telling him to go to the top floor, the 50th floor, to attend a senior leadership meeting?

This made Lin Yuan blink in surprise—how could a lowly driver like him be qualified to attend a senior leadership meeting? Though he was puzzled, he still went upstairs.

Taking the elevator to the 50th floor, Lin Yuan arrived at the meeting room door.

Just as he was about to enter, a graceful figure in an OL uniform outside the door was also about to go in.

"Lin Yuan? You're just a lowly driver—who gave you permission to enter the senior meeting room??" that figure suddenly sneered and shouted.

Lin Yuan looked up, saw clearly who it was, and quickly greeted, "Um, Assistant Gu, hello—I'm also here to attend the meeting."

This OL-uniform beauty is Gu Shiyan, the company's administrative assistant. Half a year ago, Lin Yuan and she applied together for a job at the company, so they know each other.

However, she is far above Lin Yuan's level; Gu Shiyan graduated from a prestigious 985 university with a master's degree, became an administrative assistant upon hiring, and also serves as the acting secretary to the chairman.

Everyone in the company says Gu Shiyan will soon be promoted to the chairman's official secretary.

And Lin Yuan is merely a graduate of a third-rate college with a diploma, hired as the company's driver, earning 5,000 a month, and he has also served time in prison—his qualifications simply cannot compare to Gu Shiyan's perfect credentials.

Gu Shiyan looks down on Lin Yuan this waste of space; she and Lin Yuan, this sort of waste, were hired in the same cohort—admitting it would be embarrassing.

"You're coming to the meeting? You're just a broken driver—what meeting do you think you can attend? Do you even have the qualifications? Hurry up and get lost! Don't let the chairman see you, or else be careful she fires you!" Gu Shiyan coldly rebuked.

"It was I who asked Lin Yuan to attend the meeting." Just then, a soft woman's voice suddenly came from inside the meeting room—indeed, it was Chairman Su Monong's voice.

Gu Shiyan couldn't quite believe it.

The chairman would actually call this waste-of-a-driver Lin Yuan to attend the meeting?

Since the chairman had spoken, Gu Shiyan could only let Lin Yuan go in.

As a result, Su Monong even let Lin Yuan sit in the empty seat beside her?

This further surprised all the senior executives in the meeting room?

Once everyone had gathered, the meeting officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the meeting begins, I will first announce a personnel appointment." Su Monong said.

Gu Shiyan, sitting not far away, lightly pursed her red lips; she had already guessed it. Today, Director Su will announce the important candidate for the chairman's secretary.

As for that candidate, Gu Shiyan had already guessed it was herself.

After joining the company, although she was an administrative assistant, she had always been acting as the chairman's secretary. Day to day, she assisted Director Su, working very conscientiously.

So she guessed that today Director Su would make her permanent, promoting her to an official secretary.

Gu Shiyan had even prepared her acceptance speech in advance.

Su Monong paused, then said slowly, "Considering that driver Lin Yuan's work performance has been outstanding recently, I have decided to promote him to chairman's secretary, also serving as my personal driver. From now on, he will be in charge of the secretariat's work."

Swish! If your words aren't shocking, you won't rest!

Gu Shiyan also froze?!

All the senior figures present whispered among themselves……

Damn!

Lin Yuan, just a lowly driver, how could he suddenly be promoted to chairman's secretary??

You should know that although the chairman's secretary is a low rank, unlike external staff like drivers, the secretary is a formal position in the company and is the person closest to the chairman; even director-level leaders have to curry favor with them.

Even Lin Yuan himself was dazed?

So the raise Su Dong mentioned last night was actually a promotion?!

This is literally a meteoric rise!

At the conference table, her daughter Su Zhiyuan directly vetoed, "Mom, I disagree! Lin Yuan is just a driver, he doesn't even have a college degree, he's utterly unfit for the secretary position!"

Su Zhiyuan still resented the incident of being peeped at last night; how could she allow that dog Lin Yuan to be promoted?

Gu Shiyan also clenched her teeth and said, "Director Su... is this... a mistake?"

She had struggled for half a year, doing secretary work for half a year, only to end up making a wedding dress for Lin in vain?

She couldn't believe it, and was even more unwilling.

Several executives on site also raised objections, after all Lin Yuan's qualifications are too poor—how could he handle the secretary role?

But Su Monong overruled all opposition, forcibly pushing Lin Yuan to the top.

Lin Yuan was promoted on the spot to chairman's secretary, also serving as driver.

The senior officials had complex expressions, yet they all applauded.

Only Gu Shiyan sat far away, biting her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Lin Yuan……

"Alright, let's get to the agenda," Su Monong said, suppressing the applause, then continued, "We called this emergency meeting to tell everyone that I intend to terminate our cooperation with Qian Shi Pharmaceutical Group."

Swish!

As soon as she said that, the faces of all the senior figures in the meeting hall drastically changed!

"Director Su, this is absolutely unacceptable! Qian Shi Group poached our entire drug R&D team; now they hold the new drug development technology. If we don't cooperate with them, our new project simply cannot proceed!" The senior officials urged repeatedly.

"Yeah... Director Su, our core R&D team has been poached; if the new drug project is halted, all the money we invested upfront will go down the drain!"

Su Monong, however, said coldly, "Then we'll just find a new batch of R&D talent—my mind is made up! Qian Shi Group demands exorbitant prices; cooperation is impossible! We must find another way!"

A flash of coldness crossed Su Monong's beautiful eyes as she recalled last night, when the Qian Shi Group's heir had drugged her, igniting her fury.

If Lin Yuan hadn't saved her, she would likely have lost her virtue to the Qian Shi Group's heir last night.

Therefore Su Monong could never cooperate again! Moreover, she wants to directly compete with Qian Shi Group; this medical project she must succeed at!

The senior officials and shareholders also dared not object.

After all, Su Monong is the company's largest controlling shareholder.

"Now, let's discuss how to deal with Qian Shi Group..." Su Monong began to discuss business strategies with the mid- and high-level managers.

But while she was chairing the meeting, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Swish—Su Monong's pretty face instantly turned pale.

But the meeting was very important; Su Monong could only pretend she was fine, gritting her teeth and continuing.

Lin Yuan sat beside her and noticed that Su Monong was acting strangely.

Lin Yuan didn't dare interrupt her meeting, so he secretly sent her a WeChat message:

【Director Su, are you feeling a cramp in your lower abdomen? Your body feels chilly, and you're breaking out in a cold sweat on your back?】

Su Monong was in the midst of discussion when she heard her phone vibrate; she picked it up and saw Lin Yuan's message.

Su Monong paused, then replied via WeChat: 【Yes, how do you know??】

Lin Yuan replied: 【Director Su, you're suffering from qi and blood deficiency; I guess you've been dieting these past few days, not eating staple foods, right? That's why your qi, blood, and spleen are weak, causing gastritis to flare up.】

Su Monong's beautiful eyes grew more astonished: 【Yes, I've been dieting to lose weight these past few days... but how do you know these things about me?】

How could this driver Lin Yuan know so much about her?

Lin Yuan replied: 【My family practices traditional Chinese medicine passed down through generations; I know a bit of TCM, so I suspect you have this condition. Director Su, if you trust me, why not take off your high heels, extend your left foot over, and rest it on my leg? I'll use Chinese medical massage techniques to rub you a few times, and your pain will ease.】

Su Monong looked at the message on her phone, half-believing, half-doubting?

Does this guy even study TCM?

But at this moment, Su Monong's lower abdomen hurt terribly; she held a tentative attitude, slowly slipped off her high heels, and then gradually extended her silk-covered jade foot toward Lin Yuan.

All of this was happening secretly under the conference table, so the senior figures on the table remained unaware.

But when Su Monong's foot just reached Lin Yuan's leg, she accidentally touched something……

"Ah!" In an instant Su Monong realized what had happened, her pretty face flushing red from fright!

Lin Yuan also jerked tightly……

Wait, what's going on?! Why did her foot stretch out like that?
