"Mr. Su, please get in the car!"

Downstairs at the Nanhe Community, Deng Jie stood respectfully in front of a black business vehicle, speaking with a very professional demeanor to Su Qing.

Just a moment ago, he received a call from Shen Yi, saying she wanted to invite him to dinner. Initially, he didn't want to come—not because he had any issues with Shen Yi, but because he understood his own situation. As long as he stayed quietly at home, nothing major would happen. On the contrary, if he went out, who knows what could happen.

Narration enters, life or death is uncertain!

However, he still came. Why? Simply because the narrator hinted, [The rebellious mom is on her way].

Frightened, Su Qing quickly temporarily blocked his mother's calls and WeChat. Without thinking, he knew last night's events were exposed. His dad had work today, so even if he knew, he wouldn't have time to deal with him for now. But his mom was different; whether playing mahjong or disciplining her son, to her, there was no difference.

Comparing the consequences, he felt staying home with an uncertain fate was worse, so he reluctantly changed his plans and agreed to Shen Yi's invite.

Seeing Deng Jie open the car door for him, Su Qing took a deep breath and resolutely got into the car.

Their car had just left the community for barely five minutes when a taxi stopped downstairs: it was Zhou Hui, who had hurried over.

Ten minutes later, a sullen Zhou Hui came down.

'Sorry, the number you dialed is on a call. Please try again later, sorry...'

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhou Hui's veins bulged on her forehead. Through clenched teeth, she angrily said, "Oh, you little brat! How dare you block your mother's WeChat and not answer my calls? Just you wait."

She then sent her husband a WeChat message: 'Honey, your son is bullying me, wah [crying loudly]'

In less than ten seconds, there was a notification beep on her phone for a reply.

'What? Bullying my wife?! Don't cry. When he gets home, I'll teach him a lesson on your behalf [angry][angry]'

'You're the best [finger heart]'

'You're the best, wifey [hug]'

If Su Qing saw his parents' everyday chat history, he would certainly feel like he was once again force-fed a mouthful of dog food. It's undeniable that Zhou Hui's rebellious phase is directly related to Old Su's brainless indulgence.

Elsewhere, sitting in the back seat of this business vehicle, Su Qing felt immediately broadened in his views.

The entire rear of the car had only a single seat sofa, wide and large, complete with a table, computer, and more. He could even faintly smell Shen Yi's scent, suggesting she often handled work in this car.

"Thanks a lot, Sister Deng!" Su Qing said softly.

Hearing this, Deng Jie glanced at him through the rearview mirror and replied, "No need to be so polite, Mr. Su."

"Where are we going?" Su Qing asked, as he was unaware of the destination; all Shen Yi said was someone would come to pick him up.

"President Shen has reserved a table at a newly opened restaurant next to the company. Mr. Su, I've never seen President Shen invite a man to dinner like this. You're the first," Deng Jie's words were suggestive yet subtle.

Not too deep, but it left Su Qing with the impression that Shen Yi cared about him.

It must be said, the way people in the workplace talk is indeed something a young person like him can't compare to.

Hearing this, Su Qing just forced a somewhat embarrassed smile, "I see, President Shen is too kind."

At these words, Deng Jie shook her head slightly. She could sense Su Qing's naivety, seeing as he was a bit nervous since getting in the car. Apart from looking decently good, she didn't see anything exceptional about him and wondered why President Shen paid so much attention to him. Could the damsel-in-distress scenario really be that effective?

But she was always mindful of her identity; she was just an assistant and secretary, especially when there were outsiders. She wouldn't interfere with her boss's matters one bit, nor would she express any opinions.

Before long, the car arrived near a commercial building and stopped in front of a secret recipe restaurant. Deng Jie got out, opened the car door for him, and led him straight to the second floor.

"Boss Shen, I think you should consider the proposal I mentioned; it's beneficial for everyone."

"After all, your company was only established less than half a year ago and doesn't have a strong foundation here. I do have some connections in this area, and I guarantee I can help your company take off immediately. Just consider it as making a friend. What do you think?"

As soon as Su Qing and Deng Jie reached the second floor, they saw in a corner, a man dressed in a suit with an impressive demeanor sitting across from Shen Yi, saying something.

"Boss Xu, the company's matters aren't for me alone to decide. Besides, I have an appointment today, and occupying a seat without my consent is somewhat disrespectful,"

In response, Shen Yi, dressed in a black long dress, stunningly beautiful, said calmly. Her fingers were interlocked in front of her, leaning back in her chair, with a facade that showed no emotion—completely different from the face she showed Su Qing—embodying a typical strong career woman.

The man's name was Xu Feng, in his thirties, also the owner of a company in the commercial building. They had met before, and he had the idea of investing in their company, even suggesting collaboration on some projects. For a newly established company, it indeed seemed like a valuable opportunity, yet Shen Yi hadn't agreed. Unexpectedly today, while waiting for Su Qing here, she coincidentally ran into him.

At her words, Xu Feng maintained his composure, looking at Shen Yi with a hint of passion in his gaze, though it was well-concealed.

"Perhaps I was too presumptuous. But I'm very eager to make friends with Boss Shen. How about this, I'll host tonight at Shui'an East City, will Boss Shen grace us with your presence?" Xu Feng chuckled.

And at this moment, Su Qing and Deng Jie had already approached them.

"President Shen, the person has arrived,"

Seeing him, Shen Yi's face immediately brightened with a smile, gentle like a neighborhood sister, making Xu Feng's gaze across even hotter, though his brows also furrowed.

"You're here!" Shen Yi's lips curled up, unable to contain her smile.

Su Qing nodded, then glanced at the man opposite and remarked, "You're really busy, big boss."

At this, Shen Yi's smile froze briefly. She had invited someone, but an issue arose right here, quite embarrassing.

Just as she was contemplating how to explain, Xu Feng spoke up:

"Is this the person Boss Shen has been waiting for?"

While speaking, Xu Feng's gaze lingered on Shen Yi, with no intention of rising. After all, he had noticed Shen Yi's facial expression changes, while Su Qing's attire didn't warrant any attention, not worth his notice.

This was clearly very rude behavior, considering there were only two seats, obviously aiming to see Su Qing embarrassed.

[If one wishes to take shortcuts, naturally there are costs. Someone is trying to walk your path, making you pathless. Xu Feng is a record holder for the quickest boudoir affairs, whose company financials have run into issues, currently attempting to trap Shen Yi into stepping in as a scapegoat.]

"Xu Feng, you've gone too far!" Shen Yi couldn't overlook the underhanded scheming in this situation, thus getting angry, even her voice took on a change.

In response, Su Qing quickly gestured to calm her down, then stepped forward to casually sit beside Shen Yi, smiling:

"It's no big deal, but this gentleman doesn't seem well, a bit weak. Look, he can't even stand up."

Then looking back at Xu Feng, continued, "Dare I ask, what's your relationship with Bolt?"

Xu Feng: ???
