Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine - Chapter 269
Chapter 269: What Else Can Be Done But to Keep Doting!
In the afternoon, Luo Sihai obtained the recent activity information about Xiao Feiyu. Instead of calling Su Lin, he decided to make a personal visit. He felt that if he didn’t show his face in front of Su Lin, Su Lin might soon forget about him. Thus, Luo Sihai drove himself to the Su Corporation.
Upon learning of Luo Sihai’s arrival, Su Lin didn’t think much of it and asked Lin Xiaowan to bring him to the office. Seeing Su Lin in the office, still looking the same as before, Luo Sihai couldn’t help but feel that Su Lin seemed even more imposing than before. Just sitting there silently, he exuded a dangerous aura, almost as if he could devour Luo Sihai.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Luo Sihai approached and said, “Boss, I have the results of the investigation you requested.”
Su Lin nodded, “Okay, let’s hear it.”
“Alright, boss. Xiao Feiyu’s activities have been regular since the banquet, mostly staying at home. But recently, he has been going out frequently… That’s all there is to it…”
Su Lin nodded after listening. Luo Sihai’s efficiency in handling tasks, especially tracking and investigating people, was commendable. After hearing everything Luo Sihai had reported, Su Lin had a complete understanding of the situation and couldn’t help but chuckle internally.
Xiao Feiyu was at his wits’ end with the women around him, which is why he turned his attention to Liu Shiwen. Su Lin knew somewhat about Liu Shiwen, who was a bit of a princess with a touch of a young lady’s haughtiness and was very wary of any sly tricks. Ordinary people couldn’t get close to her.
And yet, Xiao Feiyu had managed to get close to Liu Shiwen, which was indeed finding the right angle.
“Where are they now?”
Luo Sihai, seeing Su Lin’s urgency, felt a stir in his heart. He knew what kind of person Su Lin was — typically seen as quite the playboy. With each of the women around him either rich or noble, Liu Shiwen, being a prized daughter of the Liu family, was obviously now Su Lin’s target as well.
Grinning, he said, “That young man is currently at the pet hospital with Miss Liu, treating that pet cat.”
“Speaking of which, Xiao Feiyu is quite something. He just bought the cat and then broke its legs, all to make contact with the girl.”
Su Lin laughed, “His approach is a bit rushed; it’s quite obvious that he’s desperate.”
Xiao Feiyu’s tactics wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny and would be exposed upon a simple investigation. Although Liu Shiwen hadn’t realized it yet and was momentarily tricked, Su Lin believed Liu Bowen wouldn’t be fooled. He would figure it out soon enough, and then what was Xiao Feiyu aiming for?
If it got out, Xiao Feiyu’s reputation would be ruined, and there would be no chance with Liu Shiwen. She definitely wouldn’t fancy a man full of schemes. Unless Xiao Feiyu planned to…
Suddenly, Su Lin paused, considering another possibility. Was Xiao Feiyu so impatient that he resorted to scheming to secure a quick result?
Shaking his head, Su Lin thought it unlikely. Liu Shiwen was always well-guarded, so Xiao Feiyu wouldn’t dare act rashly. What exactly was he after?
Confused, Su Lin decided not to dwell on it for now and resolved to check it out in person. After all, causing the protagonist some trouble was always good!
Waving his hand, Su Lin said, “Okay, you can go. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Right, right…” After getting the response he wanted, Luo Sihai happily left.
He had done so much, even making a personal visit to report directly to Su Lin, all for that final word of assurance. As long as Su Lin kept assigning him tasks, there was no fear of not making it big.
With the Four Seas Group now handling many of Su’s orders and doubling its capacity, the profits were frighteningly high. Luo Sihai didn’t care who Su Lin’s opponents were; as long as Su Lin could handle them, all he needed to do was run errands and do the dirty work to see the money roll in. Why not?
Watching Luo Sihai leave, Lin Xiaowan walked in and said to Su Lin, “Su Lin, Luo Sihai isn’t exactly a good person, why do you keep him around?”
Su Lin smiled, “When I first came to Donghai, I had no one else to use. Now that I do, I’m too lazy to switch him out, so I just make do.”
“You better keep an eye on him , don’t let him offend others under your name.”
Su Lin laughed, “Speaking of offending people, who does it better than me…”
Lin Xiaowan nodded earnestly, “You’re not wrong there. From Ye Feng to now Xiao Feiyu, your adversaries are getting more formidable.”
Seeing Lin Xiaowan genuinely concerned, Su Lin reassured her, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Plus, you know I usually don’t initiate things; it’s them who provoke me.”
“Ha, only you would say that.” Lin Xiaowan retorted.
While many incidents were indeed instigated by others, she knew Su Lin wasn’t as innocent as he claimed. However, she wasn’t concerned about that.
Being Su Lin’s people, being a bit bad was actually advantageous. Being too good was not beneficial to oneself, a point Lin Xiaowan understood quite clearly. So, she wasn’t overly fussed about Su Lin’s tactics.
Su Lin kissed Lin Xiaowan on the forehead, “I’ll go give that Xiao Feiyu a hard time; you keep working.”
Rolling her eyes, Lin Xiaowan quipped, “You sure have it easy as vice president. How many documents have you even looked at?”
“Heh, with you and Xiaoyu as my capable assistants, why do I need to look at any documents?”
Lin Xiaowan sighed, “Spoiled by us, what else can be done but to keep doting on you? Just don’t bring home another sister.”
“Cough, cough…”
“Though really, having Liu’s sister as a sister wouldn’t be a problem; Xiaoyu and I can accept it.”
“Cough, cough…”
“But I heard Xiao Feiyu and Liu Shiwen are discussing marriage. If you want to make a move, you’d better hurry, or you might lose the chance.”
Su Lin tapped Lin Xiaowan’s forehead, “Strange, you don’t have a fever. What nonsense are you spouting?”
Lin Xiaowan glared at Su Lin, “I’m perfectly lucid, hmph! Just go on and do whatever you have to do.”
Su Lin then went to say goodbye to Xia Shiyu before leaving the company.
