Assistant Jiang had a bad premonition. "So what?"
The female staffer swallowed hard. "So Ahairui is demanding that the new makeup products be launched first and that Teacher Tian be interviewed."
"Be interviewed? This is absurd!"
His eyes widened in shock, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
"Teacher Tian is still recuperating in the hospital. How can she be interviewed?"
Assistant Jiang tightly clenched the fax in his hand, trembling with anger.
"Are the people in this company living in the mountains? The news is all over the place. They know exactly what's going on but still do such heartless things!"
"Stop shouting. Give it to me."
Hearing the commotion at the door, Su Minghan dragged his exhausted body to open the door. He raised his eyes and said in a low voice.
"General Manager Su..." Assistant Jiang felt extremely sorry for him.
Having been by his side for so many years, he could more or less guess.
He was in such a gloomy mood today. It had something to do with Xiao Shujing. And now Ahairui was causing trouble. Wasn't it adding fuel to the fire?
"Stop dawdling. Give it to me."
Assistant Jiang dispersed the crowd behind him and handed over the fax.
"General Manager Su, I hope you'll think it over."
After reading it, Su Minghan sneered. "Think it over? How?"
"Go and get the car. I'm going to Ahairui."
"Chairman Su is still in the company. Are you sure you don't want to discuss it with him?"
Assistant Jiang had his concerns. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke up.
Su Minghan's cold eyes stared at him, and his voice was hoarse.
"I negotiated this deal. It has nothing to do with my father. Now that something has happened, I should handle it myself. Go and get the car."
"... It was my fault for talking too much. I'll go right away."
After watching his back disappear, Su Minghan entered his office weakly and leaned against the wall. His whole body felt limp as if he had no bones.
His heart seemed to be anesthetized.
He couldn't feel any pain or sadness.
The words Xiao Shujing said were still lingering in his mind.
Cold, heartless, and so strange.
So in her heart, he, Su Minghan, was only worth this much.
For those two vicious people, she gave up on him?
He even began to wonder if her feelings were genuine.
Or was she just using his feelings as a tool to climb up? He was the real fool.
Kept in the dark while Xiao Shujing had her fun.
As he thought about it, Su Minghan's eyes became moist.
He tilted his head up and stared at the ceiling, holding back his tears.
Buzz.
Assistant Jiang sent a message saying that the car was already waiting downstairs in the company.
He adjusted his mood, put on a straight face, and rushed downstairs.
Yancheng Hospital.
These days of recovery had made Tian Danni extremely anxious.
She lay in the hospital bed, feeling uncomfortable no matter how she lay.
Although Su Shan told her what was going on in the company every day, including the newly signed contracts and TV dramas, she was still impatient.
"Let me in. I really have something urgent!"
"Without the Second Master's order, no one is allowed in."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
Tian Danni curiously pricked up her ears.
"This concerns Danni's future! I'll only be in for a few minutes. I promise I won't take too long!" Su Shan's eyes were sincere.
But Qian Li remained unmoved.
"I only listen to the Second Master and the old master. Come to me after you've obtained their permission. Otherwise, no one can go in."
She was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Su Shan? Is that you, Su Shan?"
A weak voice came from the ward. It was Tian Danni calling.
"Danni! Danni, I have something urgent to tell you!"
Qian Li took a step forward and blocked the ward door, frowning unhappily.
"Miss, I've already made myself clear."
"Mr. Qian Li, please let Su Shan in."
"Without the Second Master's order, no one is allowed in. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. If anything goes wrong, I'll be the one to suffer."
Tian Danni propped herself up and replied, "Don't worry. I won't blame you. Or you can keep an eye on us. Let Su Shan in."
The Second Master only said that strangers were not allowed to meet her alone, but he didn't say that he couldn't keep an eye on them. Seeing how anxious Su Shan was, there might really be something urgent to report.
Qian Li wasn't a heartless person. He took out a notebook and a phone and said, "I need your facial recognition and specific information."
He squinted his eyes. "If I find you doing anything suspicious, I'll arrest you and send you to the police station immediately. Do you understand?"
Su Shan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice without hesitation.
"Understood! Understood!"
In a few minutes, she quickly completed the procedures and trotted into the ward.
When she saw Tian Danni looking pale and weak, her eyes immediately turned red and she choked with sobs. "Oh my god, how... how did you become like this? It's all my fault. I should have accompanied you that day. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Alright, alright. I'm fine here."
Tian Danni was still comforting her gently.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Su Shan wiped away her tears and sniffed. "I just heard from the company that General Manager Su is on his way to Ahairui. There might be a long and tough battle."
She was stunned. "What is Su Minghan going to Ahairui for?"
"Wasn't it already decided that the dual endorsement would be changed to a single endorsement? And the liquidated damages have been paid."
"That's exactly the problem!"
Su Shan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "After the scandal of Juan Yi, the dress factory has been transferred to the Bo family. But the transfer process needs to be postponed. Ahairui proposed... to launch the makeup series earlier and demanded that you must attend an interview."
"You're in this state. How can you be interviewed!"
Only then did Tian Danni understand what had happened.
Su Minghan didn't want her to face the media and the public with her injured body. Firstly, it would reduce her popularity and fame. Secondly, he was worried that something might happen to her in such a noisy venue.
Both emotionally and rationally, he was worried about her safety.
Qian Li stood on one side, with a cold face, listening quietly. But in fact, his heart was in turmoil, and he was even a little incredulous.
Because of the old master and Tian Danni's hospitalization, he had hardly left the hospital these days, taking turns with his subordinates to guard.
The only source of information was Ruo Chi's complaints.
He already knew that the female president of Ahairui was Shen Ximan.
But this was exactly what made him think it was more and more absurd.
The former Shen Ximan was not the kind of person Su Shan described at all.
She sounded so unfeeling, even like a typical capitalist, only caring about her own interests and not caring about others' feelings at all.
The Second Master had been fighting in the business world for so many years, and he had never been so harsh to others, except for this Shen Ximan.
Qian Li was in a somewhat low mood, and his good impression of her was decreasing day by day.
