Su Chen was shocked.
Zhou Wanqiu didn’t sound very happy.
Was she calling to vent her anger on him again?
“I’m back! 1 just arrived downstairs,” Su Chen answered honestly.
Zhou Wanqiu said coldly, “Come to my office directly!”
Su Chen replied then quickened his pace.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Su Chen knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
Su Chen stepped into the CEO’s office. Zhou Wanqiu’s pretty face was cold.
‘What’s wrong with her? Does someone owe her money again?’ Su Chen thought to himself.
Zhou Wanqiu stared at Su Chen without saying anything.
Su Chen didn’t say anything either. The two of them looked at each other silently.
Slam!
Zhou Wanqiu slammed her hand on the desk!
“Su Chen, do you have something to tell me?”
Zhou Wanqiu’s expression was cold.
She stared straight at Su Chen with a livid gaze.
Su Chen’s headache returned.
What did he say?
What was wrong with her?
Was she that bored? She kept questioning him.
These questions were turning around in Su Chen’s head, but he didn’t voice them.
Slam!
Zhou Wanqiu slammed the desk again.
“Su Chen, are you playing dumb with me?”
“I don’t know.”
Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes widened!
Su Chen’s mind raced.
What did Zhou Wanqiu know that made her so angry?
“CEO Zhou, when 1 was detoxifying you, 1 didn’t see you naked…” Su Chen tried to explain.
“Shut up!”
Zhou Wanqiu was so angry that her face turned red. “Do you think that’s what I’m mad about?”
Su Chen was stunned.
“Who did you meet just now? What happened?”
Zhou Wanqiu gave up on interrogating and went straight to the point.
Su Chen finally understood where Zhou Wanqiu was going with this.
“That… Just a friend!” Su Chen hesitated.
He was a little conflicted. Should he tell Zhou Wanqiu about this?
He Zhentian had wanted to deal with her and the Zhou family, but he had already forced He Zhentian to hand over his assets.
Su Chen was worried that if he told Zhou Wanqiu these things, she would only be scared. Or, she might not even believe him. It would be useless.
However, when Zhou Wanqiu saw Su Chen hesitating, her anger burned brighter.
“Su Chen! Even now, you still dare to play dumb with me. Was it He Zhentian?”
“I didn’t expect you to betray me so quickly!”
“Are you going to tie me up and send me to He Zhentian now?”
Zhou Wanqiu’s words were like cannonballs. Su Chen was confused.
She actually knew who he went to meet.
“Alright, 1 admit it. it was He Zhentian.”
“He wanted to bribe me to help him deal with your family! He even said that he would make me the chairman of the Zhou Catering Group!” Su Chen said truthfully.
“Bullsh*t!” Wanqiu Zhou cursed.
“Yes!” Su Chen said. “I wanted to say that too!”
Zhou Wanqiu glared at Su Chen. “I’m scolding you! Who do you think you are? He Zhentian still tried to rope you in and even promised to make you the chairman? You’re too shameless!”
“That’s what he said!” Su Chen was stunned.
“Haha!” Zhou Wanqiu sneered. “Alright, continue!”
“I rejected him!” Su Chen continued. “He sent a bunch of bodyguards to deal with me, and 1 casually took out all of his bodyguards! Then, I forced him to transfer all of the He Catering Group shares to the Zhou family. 1 gave him a month!”
Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhou Wanqiu sneered. “Hehe! Su Chen, 1 didn’t expect you to be so good at making up stories!”
Su Chen felt completely helpless.
He was forced to tell the truth.
Yet, Zhou Wanqiu didn’t believe him!
“I’m telling the truth. You can decide if you want to believe it or not!”
Su Chen was too lazy to explain and turned to leave.
Zhou Wanqiu was dumbfounded.
’This country bumpkin actually dares to treat me with such an attitude!’
‘He must have betrayed us!’
Zhou Wanqiu was furious.
Su Chen, on the other hand, did not feel burdened. He returned to the office as if nothing happened.
Everything was normal in the office.
Liu Pan was still flirting with girls.
Zhang You was playing games while the delinquent, Su Jiao, continued to put on makeup.
As for Tian Yong, he was training hard to maintain his stance.
Su Chen took a look. Tian Yong’s foundation was actually not bad. Now, he was already in shape.
In the afternoon…
Su Chen received a call.
It was Chen Zhongyi.
Last time, when he saved Zhou Wanqiu from the Black Dragon Gang, Chen Zhongyi promised to take credit for Su Chen’s destruction of the Black Dragon Gang.
At that time, Su Chen had promised him that he could call if he needed anything.
Could it be that Chen Zhongyi had something to ask of him?
Su Chen picked up the phone.
“Hello, Mr. Su? It’s Chen Zhongyi!”
Chen Zhongyi was very polite.
“Mr. Chen, what’s the matter?” Su Chen asked.
Chen Zhongyi said, “Mr. Su, there’s something 1 need to trouble you with. Does tonight work for you?”
“Tonight?” Su Chen thought about it. Zhou Wanqiu probably wouldn’t be happy to see him today.
It seemed smarter to keep his distance instead of going home with her after work and dealing with her cold attitude.
“I’m free tonight!” Su Chen said.
Chen Zhongyi said, “Then I’ll send someone to pick you up later. We’ll talk when we meet. Is that okay?”
Su Chen agreed.
They hung up.
Su Chen was puzzled.
Why would Chen Zhongyi, the big shot of the underground forces, want to meet him?
When it was almost time to get off work, Su Chen sent Zhou Wanqiu a message.
“CEO Zhou, you don’t have to wait for me after work! I have something to do and need to go out. Please help me inform Grandpa! Thank you!”
Zhou Wanqiu replied quickly.
“Go to h*U!”
Su Chen smiled when he saw the message.
In a way, a wife who was always angry for no reason kept things interesting. At least, he would not be bored.
When it was time to get off work, Su Chen received a message from Chen Zhongyi and got up to leave.
“Su Chen, let’s go for a drink tonight! My treat!” Zhang You called out.
Su Chen waved his hand. “No thanks! 1 have something else to do tonight!”
Liu Pan raised his head and laughed. “Do you think Su Chen dawdles around like us every day? He’s very busy! Zhang You, why don’t you treat me? If there are girls there, I’ll definitely go!”
“Get lost!” Zhang You scolded with a smile.
Su Chen walked out of the building and headed to the side of the road.
A Mercedes-Benz Maybach was parked by the roadside.
It was the car that Chen Zhongyi had sent to pick up Su Chen.
When Su Chen approached, Chen Zhongyi got out of the car and opened the door for Su Chen.
“Mr. Chen, you’re too polite!”
Su Chen said as he got into the car.
Chen Zhongyi smiled and said, “This is my honor!”
Then, he got into the car as well.
In the CEO’s office in the Zhou Catering Group building.
Zhou Wanqiu zoomed in on the scene with her phone and was shocked.
“It’s another luxury car! A Maybach!”
“What’s going on with this bumpkin? Why were there so many luxury cars coming to pick him up?”
“Is this He Zhentian’s other car? Or some other rich woman’s car?”
Zhou Wanqiu wanted to call Su Chen immediately and ask him to explain who these different luxury cars belonged to.
However, her pride prevented her from doing that.
In the Maybach…
Su Chen and Chen Zhongyi sat in the backseat.
“It’s no wonder that people say you should drive a BMW, but ride in a Mercedes-Benz. This Mercedes-Benz is indeed more comfortable.” Su Chen smiled.
Chen Zhongyi quickly said, “If you want, Mr. Su, I can give you a similar car!”
“No need.” Su Chen smiled and waved his hand. “I don’t have a driver’s license. I don’t know how to drive!”
Chen Zhongyi smiled and said, “That’s simple. 1 can get you a driver. That’ll do!”
Su Chen smiled. “Thanks! However, 1 shouldn’t be so high-profile. After all, I’m just a secretary. Having a Mercedes-Benz and a chauffeur would get too much attention.”
Chen Zhongyi then remembered that Su Chen didn’t like to be high-profile.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes..
