197: Su Qingge, a vicious person, and Lin Xuan, a lamb to be slaughtered

Su Corporation, Headquarters.

Rumble—

Several luxurious cars, worth a fortune, were parked right in front of the company entrance.

Surrounded by a group of black-suited bodyguards, Lin Xuan appeared before everyone, pushing a wheelchair, instantly drawing countless gazes.

"Whether from the architectural scale, decorative details, or color scheme, it exudes a strong artistic atmosphere and noble temperament."

"So this is the Group Headquarters? It looks quite imposing..."

He sighed a few times, then pushed the wheelchair into the company's main entrance.

As for Su Qingge in the wheelchair, she maintained a cold expression throughout.

Originally, returning to the familiar company in such a state would surely have stirred emotions within her.

But because of her Grandfather's situation... At this moment,

Qingge's heart was filled only with worry and anger, with no time to spare for outsiders' opinions.

Her gaze was sharp and cold, like two flashes of lightning across the night sky. No employee dared to meet her eyes, only daring to whisper in the corners.

"Oh my god! That's the Young Miss! Wasn't she in a vegetative state? How is she here?"

"The Young Miss is actually awake! I heard the Chairman found her a man to bring good fortune. Is the effect that good?"

"This is great! With the Young Miss here to take charge, the Wang family and those shareholders won't dare to act so recklessly. She must have heard some rumors to come here!"

"The company's senior executives and shareholders are currently in a meeting. If they see the Young Miss arrive, they'll surely be scared senseless on the spot!"

"So terrifying! Even though I haven't seen the Young Miss in a while, her chilling aura hasn't changed at all."

"Even sitting in a wheelchair, the Young Miss still gives off such a cold and powerful impression, making people feel awe-struck."

"..."

Listening to the employees' whispers in the lobby, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, looking down at the girl in the wheelchair.

Her facial expression remained perpetually cold, as if she had never smiled.

If she were an actress, she'd be the quintessential domineering female CEO, exuding an aura of 'do not approach'.

If it weren't for my appearance, perhaps... this is how Su Qingge was originally meant to be!

Lin Xuan knew very well that according to the original plot... after enduring endless dark torment, the awakened girl would become extreme and paranoid.

That was when she would truly be cold-hearted and ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals.

However, due to their daily interactions these past few days, her persona had already crumbled without her realizing it.

It was only because of Su Shengtian's critical illness that the intense anger made her revert to her former cold demeanor.

"This is also good..."

"At least regarding Su Yan, I won't have to headache anymore."

The Su siblings both valued family greatly.

If it weren't for the butterfly effect he caused, leading to the old man's coma and accident this time,

Su Yan, with her love-struck brain, would have courted death multiple times, causing all sorts of trouble for the protagonist group, before the desperate siblings reluctantly took her offline.

But now... with Su Shengtian's collapse, it had completely touched Qingge's reverse scale.

Presumably, she would no longer be soft-hearted and give Su Yan continuous opportunities to court death... And at this moment,

A sharp-eyed employee recognized Lin Xuan.

It was the much-discussed 'lucky' son-in-law who had been the talk of the company recently.

"Oh my goodness~~~ It's really him? I didn't expect him to be so handsome in person!"

"This must be the heir personally chosen by the Chairman, right? So handsome~~~ He and the Young Miss together are simply a perfect match, a match made in heaven~~~"

"The Beauty Pill product that saved the company, he was the one who came up with it, right? He's not some freeloading son-in-law at all, completely different from what I imagined!"

"Alas! I heard Young Master Lin didn't have it easy before, abused by his scumbag father and stepmother's family. Fortunately, it's finally cleared up now~~~"

"Wow~~~ If all son-in-laws who bring good fortune were like Young Master Lin, then I'd want him to bring me good fortune too~~~"

"Stop being so infatuated! He's already taken. If you want to steal the Young Miss's man, you should take a good look in the mirror!"

"He looks like a warm man! But facing the Young Miss, he must be under a lot of pressure! A strong woman, weak man pairing!"

"..."

The front desk lady and the staff entering and exiting the company lobby.

At this moment, everyone was surprised and shocked by the sudden appearance of Lin Xuan and his wife.

Especially Lin Xuan, the creator of the Beauty Pill and the heir personally appointed by the Chairman.

It was everyone's first time seeing him, and they were filled with curiosity.

Facing the many gazes directed at him, Lin Xuan didn't care at all, accepting them with ease.

He even smiled and greeted some employees, without any pretense.

His calm and approachable demeanor immediately earned him the initial goodwill of many employees.

While everyone was discussing, Lin Xuan had already pushed the wheelchair into the elevator... "My mother, Su Yan, has also agreed to this matter."

"After all, the Wang and Su families are one loving family, why separate us?"

"If the Beauty Pill formula is shared with my Wang family, we can also provide Sus with greater output. Perhaps we can even make greater optimizations..."

"Of course... based on the principles of fairness, justice, openness, freedom, and democracy, I think all shareholders should vote directly!"

"The minority obeys the majority. Who is in favor and who is against?"

"..."

Top floor, conference room.

Wang Fugui spoke eloquently, his words full of pride and confidence.

Because he had rallied several major shareholders.

Plus the votes represented by Su Yan in his hands, no one could stop his plan to get the formula... Most of the group's executives below also understood this in their hearts.

As expected.

In the subsequent show of hands vote. (ﾟДﾟ*)ﾉ

The number of votes in favor of Wang Fugui's proposal far exceeded those against.

Seeing this situation, the Wang family members couldn't stop smiling.

They knew everything was under control.

It's settled!!!

"Hahahaha..."

"Thanks to the trust of my colleagues, since the number of people against..."

Wang Fugui saw that the general trend was set, stood up, holding his beer belly, and was about to announce the results with a triumphant laugh.

"I object!!!"

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the doorway.

Immediately, the conference room door opened, and a handsome young man walked in, pushing a wheelchair.

It was... him?!!!

Wang Fugui's eyes widened, and he recognized Lin Xuan at a glance.

Not just him, but everyone else in the conference room, from feeling familiar to recognizing Lin Xuan, took less than ten seconds.

After all, this person was the heir favored by Su Shengtian, and most importantly... the Beauty Pill also came from his hands.

So even though this was their first meeting, everyone had already recognized Lin Xuan from photos they had seen before.

Of course... what shocked everyone the most was not Lin Xuan.

But the cold and aloof young woman sitting in the wheelchair who arrived with him... Su Qingge.

Which executive present didn't know this woman?!

As Su Shengtian's only Granddaughter,

Before she became a vegetable, she was the second most important person in the company.

Regardless of their position, everyone had to be cautious in front of her, fearing the slightest mistake in their work.

After all, unlike Su Shengtian, who always used a gentle approach,

She showed no mercy. Making a mistake and getting scolded was a small matter; she might even directly deduct wages or fire people from the group, a true "ruthless person."

Perhaps ordinary employees didn't feel it much... but these company executives, who had to interact with her for work from time to time, truly had unspeakable difficulties.

So when they learned she had become a vegetable... many executives in the company, though not saying it openly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cheering that they wouldn't have to live so suppressed in the company anymore.

They thought they would never have the chance to see this Young Miss in the company again.

To their utter surprise... on the day the Chairman was critically ill, she actually woke up from her vegetative state and arrived at a critical moment.

Silence~~~

The conference room was utterly silent.

Under Qingge's cold eyes, dozens of executives were as quiet as cicadas in winter, not daring to breathe loudly.

They all lowered their heads, not daring to meet the young woman's gaze.

At this moment,

Everyone finally recalled... the fear of being dominated by this young woman in the past... Fortunately, with the Wang family and others in front, they must be the most panicked now, bearing the full brunt of the Young Miss's anger.

Thinking of this,

Everyone relaxed a little and gloated at the Wang family members.

But what they didn't know was... Qingge's anger was not just directed at the Wang family.

She knew better than anyone.

Among these so-called executives, few truly wished for her Grandfather's recovery; most only thought about how to profit from the group during this opportunity... If she were still in a vegetative state now... it's conceivable that the company would be completely carved up by these old foxes in a very short time.

Thinking of this, Qingge's face instantly turned red, veins bulged on her forehead, and her hands tightly gripped the armrests of the wheelchair.

Her eyes revealed a strong anger and authority that made people dare not look directly at her.

Her whole body exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if the entire space was enveloped by her wrath... Seeing this,

Lin Xuan squatted beside the young woman, reached out and held her delicate small hand, gently comforting her:

"Calm down. Didn't we agree in the car that I would handle it?"

"If you get too angry, I'll be heartbroken~~~"

"Good girl~~~ Come on, smile."

After saying that, Lin Xuan extended two index fingers, hooked the corners of Qingge's mouth, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled them upwards.

Soon,

A somewhat mischievous smiling face appeared before everyone.

And facing Lin Xuan's intimate gesture in public,

Qingge was first stunned.

Then she gave the man an annoyed glare.

Her cheeks instinctively flushed a faint pink, as beautiful and enchanting as an evening glow.

Her eyes, which had been resentful before, became soft and hazy, seemingly not daring to meet Lin Xuan's gaze... [(〃＞ dish＜) You hateful man, I just managed to build up my momentum, don't make me lose it in a second!]

[These group executives are all old foxes. To intimidate them, I must be ruthless and cold enough.]

[Originally, I planned for us to be one with a black face and one with a white face, to properly suppress these complacent guys.]

[But you're doing this... I can't even maintain my aloof image!!!]

[Also, why is your wheelchair pink?!]

[It would be so much better if it were just plain black. This color isn't conducive to me maintaining the necessary authority!]

...Qingge bit her tongue slightly, forcing herself to regain clarity.

To maintain her long-held prestige in everyone's hearts, she always felt that she had to be ruthless enough.

Especially in her current paralyzed state... If she couldn't intimidate this group of heartless people,

She was afraid that some people would feign compliance but secretly make small moves.

[Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and act according to the plan!]

Qingge regained her composure and gave Lin Xuan a fierce glare.

To maintain her reputation for being cold over the years,

She had already made an agreement with Lin Xuan in the car.

In front of outsiders, she had to be a cold wife who fit everyone's image.

Not the kind of small woman who cuddled in her husband's arms.

Because her status did not allow her to do so; the deterrent effect would be too small, and a soft image... would simply be unable to manage a large corporation, only making some people look down on her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, okay. I'm scared of you. Let's get down to business then!"

┗( ´・∧・｀ )┛.

Lin Xuan raised his hands, looking helpless.

There's no other way! ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

Who called me a fierce wife~~~

Since Qingge wanted to maintain her original persona, he was happy to be a kept man and openly lie flat.

Wife earns money, husband spends it. Reasonable, too reasonable~~~

And at this moment,

Looking at the couple's interaction, everyone present had strange expressions.

What's going on???

It seems different from what they imagined, right?!

In everyone's original imagination, Lin Xuan was just a tool to bring good fortune as a son-in-law.

Even if he had now woken Qingge up... with the Young Miss's temperament, she should have shown Lin Xuan no good face, right?!

Why does it feel like the Young Miss's reaction is different in front of Lin Xuan?

Her persona seems to be collapsing a bit!

Leaving everything else aside, just based on her misogyny, the Su Qingge they remembered... how could she allow a man to touch her face so intimately?!

Wouldn't she explode on the spot and order someone to cut off the unclean dog's paw?

Why did the Young Miss only glare coldly at Lin Xuan and do nothing else... Everyone had doubts and couldn't understand.

Only a few quick-witted ones... suddenly understood on the spot!!!

Qingge's body had not yet fully recovered.

She needed to use this son-in-law to wholeheartedly do things for her, which is why she lightly let him off the hook.

Later, when Lin Xuan loses his value, he might be taken by Qingge to feed the dogs... How brutal!!!

With such cunning and forbearance, anyone who offends Qingge would surely live in constant fear???

And we just voted in favor of the Wang family... This venomous woman must have already written down our names.

With her personality, what awaits us in the future... must be crazy revenge, right... The executives who understood the reasons behind it all broke out in cold sweat.

Their gazes towards Lin Xuan were filled with sympathy and pity... Their gazes towards Qingge, however, were full of terror and fear...
