Chapter 028 A Comfortable Life Making Enemies Everywhere
After taking a shower in the room, Su Rui noticed that the Lin family’s RV was already parked downstairs at the hotel.
Compared to the dangerous situations abroad, life in China was indeed much more comfortable. When bored, one could even enjoy looking at all kinds of beautiful women.
Today, Lin Aoxue was wearing a white chiffon dress with a light red blazer over it. While looking professional and capable, she also had a touch of liveliness. However, that face that could captivate thousands of men still showed little expression, which was truly regrettable.
Lin Fuzhang had some business and would arrive late today. Before leaving, he specifically instructed Lin Aoxue to personally pick up Su Rui for work and to clarify what happened last night.
In the spacious car compartment with only herself and Su Rui, Lin Aoxue felt somewhat uncomfortable because this guy had been constantly scanning her face and body since he got in.
“What are you looking at?” Lin Aoxue frowned slightly. This guy sometimes seemed lecherous and sometimes serious—which was the real him?
“Of course I’m looking at you,” Su Rui smirked. “I’m not blind. With such a beautiful woman sitting across from me, it would be a waste not to look.”
Lin Aoxue decided not to continue this topic, as it would only further expose Su Rui’s shameless nature. “What exactly happened last night?”
Lin Aoxue had eventually sent her driver to investigate, and the result was that police had cordoned off the scene, three sedans had caught fire and exploded, and the occupants had died from gunshot wounds.
After receiving this news, Lin Aoxue remained silent but couldn’t fall asleep until after 2 AM.
She used to think that terms like gunshots, explosions, and robbers only appeared in movies and TV shows, far removed from her life. But since Su Rui’s appearance, these terms seemed to have quietly entered her world.
Perhaps Triazolam really was a hot potato.
However, this was a revolutionary psychiatric medication. Lin Aoxue and Bikang’s R&D team had invested a tremendous amount of effort and capital into it. If they gave up now, not only would she be unwilling, but the shareholders would likely disagree as well.
Besides, even if they abandoned the patent, would those dark forces stop coming after her? After all, the synthesis method was in her mind!
“Do you think this attack was aimed at me?” Lin Aoxue’s voice remained cold. “Or rather, at the synthesis method for Triazolam?”
“It’s possible. If you transfer the patent rights, even if it doesn’t completely eliminate such incidents, it would at least reduce a large portion of the attention,” Su Rui said after some thought.
Lin Aoxue fell silent. This synthesis method was an extremely significant breakthrough for Bikang Pharmaceuticals. The entire group was excited about this news, and it could potentially make them a monopoly in the industry.
Lin Aoxue had already started ordering production lines specifically for synthesizing Triazolam, and construction on new plant areas had begun. Enormous funds had been invested, and withdrawing at this point would cause substantial losses, severely damaging Bikang’s strength!
Su Rui lazily leaned back in his chair. Although Lin Aoxue’s face remained cold, he could still see her conflicted emotions. So he said, “You don’t need to worry too much. As long as I’m here, those people won’t be able to cause much trouble.”
Lin Aoxue looked up at Su Rui with surprise, her mind recalling last night’s gunshots and explosions, then nodded slightly.
A man who could casually bring in a 20-million order, who her father valued highly, who had a mysterious identity and remained calm in crises—now Lin Aoxue was starting to believe that Su Rui could provide Bikang with a stable transition period.
“However, I can’t stay here forever,” Su Rui said with a mischievous smile. “If you, Aoxue, ask me to stay forever, I will. How about it?”
Lin Aoxue frowned. What a joke! This guy was a super pervert. Keeping such a lecherous person around would be like placing a time bomb next to herself! If he were to stay at Bikang forever, she would be the first to object!
Riding in the chairman’s car into the company, Su Rui didn’t forget to lower the window when passing the security room to greet the comrades inside.
Chen Dawu and others were on duty. Seeing the son-in-law sitting in the special car with a face full of spring breeze, they all hurriedly bowed and nodded.
After the car drove in, Chen Dawu’s face became solemn as he said in a deep voice, “Did you see that? The CEO was sitting inside. It seems that Su Rui being the son-in-law is absolutely certain.”
“Yes, fortunately we didn’t stand on the wrong side yesterday.” Several security guards had seen Lin Aoxue’s cold face, and they were all very grateful that they had helped the son-in-law teach that clueless woman Yin Xiumei a lesson yesterday. Presumably, he would remember this favor, and the brothers could leave a good impression on him.
Su Rui and Lin Aoxue walked side by side into the group headquarters, and everyone who saw them paid their respects.
Rumor had it that yesterday CEO Lin Aoxue personally invited Su Rui to her room at night, so it seemed the two had become a couple. Otherwise, why would they come to work together in the morning? With Lin Aoxue’s personality, how could she be so high-profile about appearing as a couple if it wasn’t a done deal?
Meanwhile, at Zhang Kaibin’s villa.
“Xiumei, go to work. What’s the point of crying here?” Zhang Kaibin looked at his watch. It was time for him to go to work, but this woman was desperately clinging to him, refusing to let him leave.
“Zhang Kaibin, are you even a man? Your woman has been treated like this by someone else, and you won’t avenge her?” Yin Xiumei cried out, her hair disheveled and eyes swollen. Where was her ladylike appearance now?
Zhang Kaibin said helplessly, “Didn’t I help you? Didn’t I go to Bikang to demand justice? But that person is from a prominent family in the capital, even Lin Fuzhang can’t afford to offend him. If I, a mere deputy department-level official, provoke such a red third-generation, wouldn’t that be like trying to twist a thigh with my arm?”
“That’s not acceptable. You can’t just watch me being bullied! I don’t care, I want you to avenge me, I want you to avenge me!” Yin Xiumei frantically pounded on Zhang Kaibin’s chest. This madness had barely stopped all night.
Zhang Kaibin was thoroughly angry. Why wouldn’t this woman stop? He had struggled to climb to the position of deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce in this directly-administered municipality, relying solely on connections without background or identity. Was it easy for him? If he foolishly provoked those powerful figures from the capital, he might not even know how he died!
This damned woman, how could she not consider his position at all!
Zhang Kaibin grew angrier as he thought about it and directly raised his hand, giving Yin Xiumei a crisp, resounding slap!
“Get away from me!”
Zhang Kaibin used considerable force, knocking Yin Xiumei to the ground!
She covered her burning cheek, seemingly unable to believe that the man she loved most would hit her so hard!
“I’m warning you, this matter is over. Don’t mention it again. Go to work at Bikang obediently and act as if nothing happened. If you cause any more trouble for me, be careful that I might divorce you!”
After pointing at Yin Xiumei’s nose and speaking, Zhang Kaibin slammed the door and left.
Yin Xiumei lay on the ground, her eyes revealing intense resentment. She seemed to have completely ignored Zhang Kaibin’s words and kept repeating, “Fine, fine, fine. If you won’t help me, I’ll do it myself. I must kill him, I must kill them…”
Su Rui and Lin Aoxue arrived together at the marketing department floor. She walked toward the CEO’s office on the other side of the corridor, while Su Rui leisurely sat down at his desk under everyone’s admiring gaze and lazily turned on his computer.
At this moment, a somewhat dejected figure walked in, appearing somewhat fearful.
Seeing this figure, Su Rui immediately laughed and waved at the person, saying, “Hey, Champion Chen, good morning!”
The newcomer was Chen Leigan. He had hoped to sneak in unnoticed, but Su Rui’s seemingly enthusiastic greeting immediately drew everyone’s attention to him!
Colleagues began to cover their mouths and snicker, discussing among themselves.
“He ate so much phlegm yesterday, I wonder how he feels?”
“Just because he’s the sales champion, he thinks he’s great? Su Rui made a 20-million deal with one order, slapping his face! How does he still have the nerve to come to work?”
“Just thinking about yesterday makes me nauseous. That was half a cup of phlegm! God, I can’t talk about it anymore, or I’ll vomit again!”
People need face, trees need bark, and utility poles need cement.
Even though Chen Leigan had decided to swallow his pride and not resign for the sake of Bikang’s generous compensation and client resources, his facial muscles still twitched uncontrollably when he heard these comments.
Su Rui laughed and said, “Come, come, Champion Chen, quickly sit over here. I heard you’re visiting clients today. Could you take me along? I’m also a newcomer and would like to learn some sales techniques from Champion Chen!”
Everyone could no longer hold back their laughter. This Su Rui was really too shameless! Yesterday he had already closed a 20-million deal, and now he was clamoring for Chen Leigan to take him to visit clients. This was too much of a blow!
Chen Leigan pretended to be calm and said coldly, “I wouldn’t dare. This year’s sales champion will definitely be you. I wouldn’t dare show off in front of the 20-million master.”
Su Rui chuckled. He just didn’t like this arrogant guy: “I wonder if Champion Chen vomited after going home yesterday? We’re all in the same department and shouldn’t harm our harmony. How about I treat you to a bowl of eight-treasure porridge today? It’s definitely thicker than that cup yesterday!”
Even a clay figure has its limits, let alone being repeatedly provoked by Su Rui. Chen Leigan seemed to have forgotten how he had started the trouble yesterday. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, “Su, don’t go too far!”
Su Rui smirked and pinched his nose, saying, “I have no interest in bullying someone who likes to drink phlegm. After saying so much, are you feeling thirsty? Would you like our Group Leader Cao to bring you another cup?”
