Chapter 25 Self-Awareness
That was Ryan, the youngest-ever dean of the technology college at a top-ranked university that had just won an international tech award and ranked in the top 3. He was one of the few friends Su He kn...When Su He got home, it was almost dawn.
Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin didn't sleep. They sat in the living room waiting for her to come back.
If it weren't for the knowledge that Shen Muyin had assigned the best guards to Su He according to their orders, Gu Qingcheng would have gone out to look for them long ago.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you!" Su He said with a guilty face. It was her fault for not thinking things through and not considering them.
Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin comforted her in turn: "It's good to be back safe."
Su He accompanied Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin for a late-night snack, briefly mentioning Bai Yihuan's plot against her. Gu Qingcheng was so angry that her face flushed red.
"As for Bai Yiyang, that wastrel, does he even deserve to think about you"
Gu Qingcheng ordered a hundred mirrors overnight and sent them to the Bai family. Bai's father was out, and his mother, Jian Xinjun, was bewildered looking at the yard full of mirrors.
“She’s making fun of us for being clueless.” Bai Yihuan walked out with a pale face and said in a low voice.
Worried that Huo Chenxi would come looking for her to settle the score, she didn't sleep all night and spent her entire time thinking about how to explain things to him.
Upon learning that her and Bai Yiyang's scheme had failed, Jian Xinpure cursed under her breath and turned back to her room to contact the media.
Gu Qingcheng thought her son wasn't good enough for Su He, and she insisted on ruining Su He's reputation, begging her to marry into the Bai family.
Su He was fed to her satisfaction by Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin, and when she returned to her room to wash up and blow dry her hair, she saw the noticeably rounder face in the mirror. She couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy.
Happiness weight, it's truly blissful, yet also tinged with sadness.
Just then, Shen Muyin's phone call came.
Knowing that she had deployed her guards, Shen Muyin asked with concern: "Little sister, are you alright Which blind fool dared to cause trouble again Big brother will take care of him!"
He respected Su He, and even though he was worried, he didn't go beyond her to ask the guards.
After briefly recounting the events, Su He asked: "Second brother, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate"
Shen Muyin was stunned for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "Not yet. Rest assured, I will send more people to investigate, and also send someone to keep an eye on her."
After a few more pleasantries, Su He hung up the phone.
For some reason, she always felt that Shen Muyin wasn't being truthful.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Muyin inexplicably shivered.
Speak to humans in human language, and speak to ghosts in ghost language.
Although he often lied, he had never been this flustered and uneasy.
Su He let him investigate Bai Yihuan, and he immediately arranged for someone to dig up everything about Bai Yihuan.
Bai Yihuan's pregnancy is a fabrication, she deliberately created scandals using her fake belly to climb the ladder of success. She even bribed a doctor to perform an abortion on Su He forcefully.
Upon learning what Bai Yihuan had done to Su He, Shen Muyin wished she could immediately expose her false facade.
However, on his way back after sending someone to investigate Bai Yihuan, he ran into Shen Rufeng's people.
As it turns out, big brother had already noticed something was wrong and had been secretly investigating.
Knowing that Shen Muyin was entrusted by Su He to investigate Bai Yihuan, Shen Ruifeng warned him not to reveal the truth to Su He.
“Why can’t I tell my little sister the truth” Shen Muyin was very puzzled.
Shen Ruifeng pondered for a moment: "Do you remember what happened to your younger sister when she fell into the sea on the ship I suspect that she might be depressed after childbirth!"
Shen Muyin wanted to say it was impossible, but seeing Shen Rufeng's serious expression, out of trust for him, she still listened to his arrangement and concealed the truth she had investigated from Su He.
If hating Huo Chenxi can ease the guilt and self-blame of not being able to protect the child, then let my younger sister continue to hate.
If it weren't for Huo Chenxi giving Bai Yihuan a chance, the younger sister wouldn't have suffered so much!
"You've all worked hard lately. Successfully securing the Long family partnership, Su He deserves all the credit." Shen Zhaolin praised Su He in front of everyone in the President's Office, then looked around at the secretaries, "Now, does anyone still think she isn't qualified to be in the President's Office"
Those who previously doubted Su He's parachuting appointment suddenly fell silent.
Long Mao signed the cooperation agreement willingly, which can be attributed to both the meticulously prepared plan by Yihe Group and Su He's warm hospitality, which put him in a good mood.
Anyone who has worked with Long's family knows that Long Mao-chi is notoriously difficult to deal with.
If he's not happy, he'll walk away in the last second of the signing.
Before, Zhou Secretary, who looked down on Su He the most, quietly tried to get close to Long Mao Zhi, wanting to prove that he could do better than Su He. Who knew that before he even saw Long Mao Zhi, he was stripped naked and ruthlessly thrown out of the hotel, making Zhou Secretary, who has always been arrogant, lose face.
"Su He is indeed capable." The burning with jealousy, Zhou Secretary took the opportunity to suggest, "I have too many projects on hand recently and can't take care of them all. Why don't we let her take over the projects of Emperor Jin Group!"
Who doesn't know that Zhou's secretary's Di Jin Group project stalled at a crucial juncture, which became the biggest obstacle to her promotion to special assistant.
She deliberately used the hot potato in her hand to make things difficult for Su He.
All the secretaries looked at Su He with sympathy, but none of them spoke up for her.
No one was willing to offend Zhou, the secretary who was most likely to be promoted to executive assistant and become their direct supervisor, for the sake of Su He, a newcomer.
Shen Zhaolin, who could see through Zhou's secretary's thoughts, frowned and glanced at her. He intended to refuse for Su He, but unexpectedly, Su He winked at him and readily agreed.
Zhou's secretary watched Su He eagerly trying to impress Shen Zhilin, and secretly sneered. She said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Su He, this is a major project for the company. Don't mess it up…"
Su He knew she was challenging her, so she deliberately followed her words and said, "I'll resign to take responsibility. But what if I succeed"
Zhou's secretary knows that the Di Jin Group is not intentionally making things difficult at critical junctures, the root cause is that their sole use of the S-core patent has expired.
Before they get a new authorization, they won't readily agree.
Zhou, the secretary, learned through insider information that Hei J, the founder of the S core patent, personally contacted Dijin Group and decided to no longer authorize it.
Looking at Su He, who was completely unaware but full of confidence, Zhou's secretary couldn't help but secretly mock her lack of awareness. With a smirk that didn't reach his eyes, he said, "Isn't this your job Success shouldn't be expected"
Shen Zhao-lin glanced at Zhou's secretary and smiled gently: "If we succeed, of course there will be promotion and salary increase. He'll be promoted to my personal assistant!"
Unable to bear his daughter being bullied right under his nose, Shen Zhaolin couldn't help but stand up for Su He.
Zhou's secretary was exasperated, but this statement came straight from Shen Zhaolin himself, leaving no room for rebuttal.
When Su He went to the restroom during work, Zhou's secretary saw her and took the opportunity to follow her.
"It's important to know one's own limitations." Zhou Shì wrote with her lipstick, feigning indifference. "If you admit defeat now, I can recommend you to the department at Di Jìn Group through my friends. Otherwise, if you leave in disgrace later and damage your reputation, I guarantee no other big company will want you."
Su He washed his hands methodically, "Thank you for reminding me, Zhou Secretary. It's a pity that I am not only lacking in self-awareness, but also ungrateful!"
"You…" Zhou's secretary was so angry that her hand trembled, the lipstick on her lips leaving a red mark at the corner of her mouth, making her face look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Su He flicked the water droplets from her fingertips: "This lipstick is nice, isn't it It must be expensive"
Zhou's secretary stiffened all over, staring at Su He in disbelief. But Su He simply wiped her hands with a tissue nonchalantly and left without looking back.
She had a secret deal with an executive from the Di Jin Group, and this lipstick was a gift given as part of the deal.
However, how could Su He know her secret so soon after joining the company
Su He's words unsettled Zhou's secretary, yet Su He herself happily left work early with a bag in hand.
That confident look was enough to make the other secretaries in the CEO's office shake their heads and sigh.
Meeting with Long Mao and discussing the project with Huo Chenxi from Emperor Jinshi Group was not a difficult task at all.
Su He is still too naive and doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!behind this, and are they friend or foe What is their motive for doing this"It's not just these three." Yu Mu pretended to be profound, crossing his arms. "Before the talks and the business dinner, I...
