CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: I AM SU WANXIN’S BACKGROUND

"President Fu, Su Wanxin promised Alex she’d achieve a three-digit return rate, this..." Chen Lei began tentatively, then hesitated, "Can she do it?"

"As long as she promised, there won’t be a problem."

Fu Shihan was not particularly concerned about this matter. He answered Chen Lei absentmindedly while his eyes remained fixed on the computer screen, observing the girl who looked pretty, seemingly delicate and weak but actually didn’t need anyone’s pity or help at all.

Anger filled her brow, clearly indicating her fury. Such an expression was rare for Fu Shihan to see on her.

Su Wanxin seldom got angry with Fu Shihan. In the past, she was always soft and sweet in front of him, blushing easily at the slightest tease, never daring to look directly into his eyes.

Chen Lei breathed a sigh of relief hearing Fu Shihan’s response, but his anxiety quickly returned as Fu Shihan turned his gaze towards him, changing the subject.

"What did I say when I sent her over, forgotten?"

Chen Lei: ...

Fu Shihan had said that it was fine to have Su Wanxin work, but not to bully her. It was clear that Su Wanxin was now being bullied.

Fu Shihan sat there, an intimidating chill emanating from him. His eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth.

Chen Lei was so nervous under his gaze that he could hardly sit still, and even Sheng Qian next to him felt frightened.

"President Fu, this situation was completely unexpected, I didn’t foresee it," Chen Lei explained dryly. "Moreover, Lin Shihan, her father is the Vice Mayor of Hai City, and they also have some connections with ST Shen Family."

"So now you’re trying to compete based on background?" Fu Shihan’s cold laugh terrified Chen Lei, who quickly shook his head to deny it.

"President Fu, that’s not what I meant!" He simply wouldn’t dare harbor such a thought, even if he were bolder! "I’m just worried about the Shen Family coming to trouble Su Wanxin, that’s all."

"In the end, it’s still competition," Fu Shihan said indifferently, standing up. "Su Wanxin’s background is me. If the Shen Family comes, do I still need to teach you what to do?"

"No need, I understand!"

Sheng Qian sat on the sofa, watching Fu Shihan’s protective stance, holding back any comments with a curl of her lip. She slowly stood up, intending to leave with Fu Shihan. Just as she got up, she heard him say—

"Sign the 5 million deal first, count it towards Su Wanxin’s performance."

Sheng Qian: ...

Damn, watching the drama comes with a hefty price. He brought me here just to boost Su Wanxin’s performance, didn’t he?!

But thinking back to his conversation with Chen Lei, a three-digit return rate was indeed much higher than what one could get elsewhere, so it didn’t seem like a bad deal in the end.

"Sure." Sheng Qian dared not provoke Fu Shihan at this critical moment, so she returned to the sofa and nodded obediently, "Sign the deal."

Inside the office.

These past days, Su Wanxin had overused her eyes, and with the added aggravation from Lin Shihan earlier, she had a stomach ache and had been resting her head on the desk.

When she finally sat up, her face was pale, eyes reddened, looking as if she had been crying secretly, eliciting sympathy from her male colleagues.

"Don’t cry, we can talk to President Chen later about the clothes, see if you can get reimbursed."

Su Yan looked at her, knowing she felt wronged. He had helped her buy that Alex outfit, which cost over a hundred thousand—it was enough to distress anyone.

"Yeah, yeah, don’t cry. Let’s take you out for dinner tonight, consider it a welcome party for our new colleague! What do you feel like eating?"

"Xiao Su cried?"

"Indeed, look how pitifully she’s crying!"

The colleagues comforted her with their clamoring, but Su Wanxin had an expressionless face, void of any desire to cry and even feeling a bit like laughing inside.
