Chapter 134 Punishment as a Warning
“Brother, no, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don’t go.” Qin Ranlong chased after Su Rui with a gossipy expression: “Tell me quickly, how did you manage to win over my sister? My sister is so fierce and you still managed to get her, that’s too impressive!”
Su Rui looked at him with disdain: “Am I that kind of person?”
Qin Ranlong misunderstood and said with sudden realization: “Right, right, right, you’re not that kind of person. You just exuded your kingly aura, and my sister immediately came to you, the tigress instantly turned into a little lamb!”
“You’re the one full of turtle energy.” Su Rui really didn’t want to deal with this idiot plus fool.
“Brother-in-law, you don’t know, in the past there were countless talented young men in the capital who wanted to pursue my sister, but she wouldn’t even look at them. This time, to avoid the so-called engagement, she even ran away from home. Of course, although Shanghai is also our business territory, at least my sister has shown her own attitude. But, last night you guys… it’s strange, how did she fall for you so quickly?”
Su Rui said very angrily: “She didn’t sleep with me!”
…
After slapping Qin Ranlong, the chattering guy, unconscious, Su Rui’s ears finally had some peace.
He originally wanted to go directly to the company, but the image of Su Zhiyan’s extremely tempting figure appeared in his mind.
Yesterday he had humiliated this woman so much, she must still hate him.
Su Rui smiled coldly, called a taxi, and headed to Su Zhiyan’s styling studio—yesterday afternoon’s business wasn’t finished yet!
Early in the morning, the studio was already working. There were so many activities in Ninghai, and all the celebrities who came recognized Su Zhiyan’s reputation, so they would choose this place.
Su Rui wandered from the first floor to the top floor of the small building but didn’t see Su Zhiyan. Instead, he saw several big stars who often appeared in movies.
He could only pretend to be casual, randomly pulled over a stylist to ask, and learned that Su Zhiyan had returned to the capital overnight, for unknown reasons.
“I see.”
Su Rui smiled meaningfully and muttered to himself: “You think you can escape by returning to the capital?”
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but visualize the two bountiful mountains swaying on Su Zhiyan’s chest. He raised his eyebrows and casually walked out.
…
Meanwhile, in a gym in the capital.
A muscular man wearing a tight tank top was bench pressing a barbell. One look at him and you could tell he had been bodybuilding for many years, with well-defined muscles.
However, his physique wasn’t the exaggerated kind that would make people feel disgusted at first sight. His muscle groups were very proportionate, and his build was rather slender.
In this gym, he was a very popular figure. Barring any unexpected circumstances, he would come to exercise morning and evening, having persisted for many years, rain or shine.
Often sexy young girls would approach him, and this handsome guy would welcome everyone, being enthusiastic to all. However, when other women wanted to develop a deeper relationship with him, he would reject them without hesitation.
Now, while he was bench pressing, a woman in a black tight-fitting outfit was using an exercise ball to do stretching exercises, practicing her flexibility.
This woman had a refreshingly neat ear-length bob haircut and wore a black mask, looking somewhat strange.
Her tight outfit was equally bizarre, like a diving suit, covering everything from her neck to her ankles. Many people looked at her with strange eyes, because no one would wear such an outfit in a gym.
Next to the woman, there was also a man wearing a black tight tank top. He stood there motionless, his gaze cold, like an unsheathed sword.
“Da Lang, I heard my brother was beaten up in Ninghai?” the muscular man asked with a smile on his face while bench pressing, as if the weight didn’t strain him at all.
“Yes, Young Master.” This cold man named Da Lang nodded, his voice somewhat muffled when he spoke.
“My brother has always been smart, always brilliant since childhood, but he doesn’t know that sometimes he can be too clever for his own good.”
This man bench pressing was White Wangchuan’s brother, the White family’s eldest young master—White Qinchuan!
“The Second Young Master’s internal organs were seriously injured. He needs to rest in bed for at least a month. The family has arranged for him to stay at the best sanatorium in Ninghai,” Da Lang said in a deep voice, his eyes releasing a dangerous light.
“Has that person returned?” White Qinchuan put down the barbell and asked calmly, changing the subject.
Da Lang didn’t answer; his silence was confirmation. In his eyes appeared a figure that seemed to stand tall and mighty.
When this figure appeared in his mind, Da Lang’s muscular body couldn’t help but shudder.
White Qinchuan was just picking up a towel to wipe the sweat from his head when he clearly saw Da Lang’s reaction and smiled playfully: “Da Lang, are you afraid?”
Da Lang shook his head, still not speaking.
White Qinchuan drank half a bottle of water in one go, sighed, and said: “You’re still afraid after all.”
Hearing this, Da Lang lowered his head slightly, the sharpness about him somewhat subdued, his eyes no longer as piercing as before.
“This is his warning to us.” White Qinchuan’s eyes revealed a complex, inscrutable meaning.
“My brother really likes to be too clever. A disheartened tiger, yet he insists on provoking his fighting spirit. This is too dangerous. If one day he loses his life because of this, I certainly wouldn’t be surprised.”
Da Lang’s body trembled slightly upon hearing this.
“White Ying, what do you think?” White Qinchuan turned to ask the woman in the full-body tight outfit.
“I’m called Night Ying,” the woman in black said coldly, seemingly not respecting White Qinchuan at all.
“Fine, fine, Night Ying, answer my question.”
“Kill him.” Night Ying’s voice was full of coldness.
“Kill him?” White Qinchuan said mockingly, as if he had heard a joke: “It seems you couldn’t kill him five or six years ago either.”
Night Ying’s large eyes flashed with an unidentifiable light: “This time will be different.”
“I don’t care what you’re thinking, but without my consent, none of you are allowed to act rashly,” White Qinchuan wiped the sweat from his body, put down the towel, and said solemnly: “To be frank, this matter doesn’t have much to do with us. Whatever happens, don’t get involved!”
Night Ying didn’t speak, and Da Lang nodded.
“Well, I have to go to work now,” White Qinchuan put away his serious expression and said helplessly: “I have no choice.”
…
Su Rui returned to the company with two dark circles under his eyes and immediately fell asleep on his desk. He needed to recover the lost energy properly; otherwise, continuing to waste energy like this would be too harmful to his body.
The consequences might not be visible in one or two days, but when they accumulated, the problems in his body would likely explode.
CEO Lin Aoxue walked over and unconsciously glanced in Su Rui’s direction. Seeing him lazily sleeping on the desk, a flash of anger crossed her eyes.
This damn guy actually left her last night to have tea and chat with that woman called Victoria!
What did he do last night? Coming to the office just to sleep! Isn’t this affecting the work atmosphere in the office?
Lin Aoxue was very unhappy on her way back, and she hadn’t said a word from last night until now. Seeing Su Rui like this, her mood seemed to worsen.
The employees were all watching Lin Aoxue, wondering how their CEO would treat this rumored boyfriend.
Many were maliciously speculating that Su Rui might have battled too long with Lin Aoxue last night, so he couldn’t even open his eyes this morning. But judging from the CEO’s expression, that might not be the entire reason, otherwise why would the CEO be so angry?
Lin Aoxue coldly looked at Cao Tianping and said: “Tell him to come to my office.”
With that, she walked away in her high heels.
Cao Tianping quickly pushed Su Rui: “Hey, wake up, the CEO wants you to go to her office.”
“I’m not getting up,” Su Rui said groggily. “I haven’t had enough sleep yet.”
“Not enough sleep? Brother, I’m begging you, please get up, otherwise I can’t face the CEO! She specifically asked me to wake you up!”
The group CEO and the team leader of the marketing department’s first group were separated by several levels. Under normal circumstances, Lin Aoxue and Cao Tianping wouldn’t have any interaction. Now that she had skipped so many levels to give a direct order, if Cao Tianping couldn’t even complete this small task, he naturally couldn’t live up to the CEO’s expectations!
Su Rui was really annoyed at being shaken. This fat guy was really taking the other side!
Standing up, Su Rui rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned as he headed to Lin Aoxue’s office. However, this guy left with one parting shot.
“Fat guy, just wait. When Tang Nilanduo comes to Ninghai for a concert in a few months, I’ll get front-row tickets for the inner section, but I definitely won’t give you any.”
Hearing this, Cao Tianping’s fat face quickly collapsed.
Entering Lin Aoxue’s office, Su Rui looked at the girl in the white suit dress and felt his spirits lift considerably, his drowsiness receding.
Beautiful women are always pleasing to the eye, and they’re also refreshing.
“So, you were looking for me?” Su Rui asked.
“Mm.”
Lin Aoxue responded lightly and continued to look down at the new issue of the scientific journal “Nature.”
“So what did you want to see me about?”
“I saw you openly sleeping during work hours, so I wanted to talk to you.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows: “Talk? Talk about what? What is there to talk about? Are you suggesting I should sleep a bit more on your imported sofa? You’re right, sleeping hunched over a desk is really uncomfortable.”
Lin Aoxue said coldly: “In view of your openly sleeping during work hours, and showing no signs of remorse, I’m docking one-third of your monthly salary as punishment.”
