Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: First Lure the Heroine into the Company!

In fact, Su Lin didn’t want to hand over the company to Xia Shiyu too early. His original plan was to take care of it for a while and give it to her after her ability improved.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. He didn’t expect to meet the new lead so soon.

Through the information, Su Lin knew that the elder Lin Xiaowan visited was Zhao Yanyan’s father, the director of the Donghai City Police Department. The girl Lin Xiaowan was talking about should be Zhao Yanyan.

Although the information didn’t mention Zhao Yanyan’s appearance, Su Lin didn’t need to think to know that she must be a very beautiful girl. Otherwise, how could she be the female lead? He wasn’t worried about Zhao Yanyan at all. He had to take care of Lin Tian as soon as possible.

Therefore, he handed over the responsibility to Xia Shiyu so that he would have time to deal with Lin Tian.

Since Lin Tian chose to compete with him in business, Su Lin felt that it was enough for Xia Shiyu to play with him. It was okay to suffer a little loss. The key was to grow quickly.

As long as it was him, stealing? Stealing a house is a technical job perfect for him~~!

After lunch, Su Lin took Xia Shiyu home to cuddle for a while before he sent her back to the hospital at night.

It wasn’t that Su Lin didn’t want to eat this girl, but he didn’t have the chance. He only had one day off a week. With his strong physique, if he and Xia Shiyu progressed further, how could she go to class?

…

The next day, when he arrived at school, Su Lin saw two boxes on Lin Xiaowan’s table with beautiful packaging. It was obvious that they were gifts Lin Xiaowan brought back from Donghai.

Su Lin walked in front of Lin Xiaowan with a smile. “Xiaowan, are these two big boxes gifts for me?”

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin. “Wishful thinking, these are for Xiaoyu.”

“For Xiaoyu? What about mine? You have two boxes here, one of them must be mine.” Su Lin reached out to take the box.

“Pa!”

“This isn’t yours, this is Xiaoyu’s.”

Su Lin looked at the other one. “Then this one must be mine.”

“Mhmm!” Lin Xiaowan responded softly.

Su Lin was overjoyed and opened the box next to him.

“Eh! Why did you tear it down in the classroom?”

Su Lin replied with a silly smile. “This is the first present Lil Wan gave me. I can’t wait until I get home. I have to see it live.”

“Alright, if you want to look, then look.” Lin Xiaowan shrugged.

Su Lin opened the box and saw that it was a Parker pen.

“You used a fountain pen to sign the contract, so I thought you might need this, so I bought one for you,” Lin Xiaowan explained.

Su Lin drew twice on Lin Xiaowan’s notebook. “Very good, very good. I like it very much.”

“I understand that you like it very much. But why did you draw it in my book?” Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin with a dark expression.

“Eh… you just happen to have it.”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Xiaowan, how was your trip to Donghai yesterday?”

“How else could it be? My friend and I strolled around Donghai for a day. It’s just a little more prosperous than Zhongjiang and a little bigger. Other than that, there’s nothing special.” Lin Xiaowan said indifferently.

“Your friend?”

“It’s a girl. She’s the daughter of the elder I visited. Her name is Zhao Yanyan. She’s very pretty.” Lin Xiaowan deliberately emphasized the word pretty.

“Haha! Xiaowan, what do you mean by saying that? Do you want me to chase her?” Su Lin asked with a smile.

“Hmph, I’m not telling you to chase her. I’m just telling you to be careful and not attract bees and butterflies.” Thinking about how Zhao Yanyan asked her about Su Lin for a whole day yesterday, she felt a headache coming on.

At the same time, Lin Xiaowan was vigilant. She felt that her standards were high enough, and Su Lin was excellent enough. If Zhao Yanyan met Su Lin, maybe she would be moved. She already had Xia Shiyu. What was another love rival?

Therefore, Lin Xiaowan, who had suffered before, didn’t mention anything about Su Lin. But she didn’t know that women are naturally curious. The more she hid, the more curious Zhao Yanyan would be.

“Attract bees and butterflies? When did I attract bees and butterflies? But you, Xiaowan, open your desk and take a look. I bet there are love letters inside.”

“Uh… it can’t be helped. My classmates put them there.” Lin Xiaowan said helplessly.

Although it was much better than before, there were still people who liked to send love letters and snacks.

Of course, Lin Xiaowan didn’t look at these things. But Su Lin would sometimes take a few bites of the snacks. It was called, you spend money, I enjoy.

“Xiaowan, your good friend is the same age as you?”

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin with caution and said, “Su Lin, you’ve asked a bunch of things about Yanyan, what exactly are you trying to say? You’re not really interested in Yanyan, are you? I’m still here, Su Lin.”

Su Lin pinched Lin Xiaowan’s puffed-up cheek in anger and explained with a smile, “What are you thinking, Xiaowan? I’m just thinking about our company’s expansion, you know?”

“Do you think it’s possible to get your friend to join our company and open a branch in Donghai? If she’s willing to join, we could advance our expansion in Donghai by several months.”

“Aren’t you worried about Yanyan’s ability to handle things?”

Su Lin glanced at Lin Xiaowan and said, “With you being so outstanding, Xiaowan, that Zhao Yanyan can’t be too bad, right? I can’t believe your friend would be just an ordinary person.”

“And I’m not asking her to start immediately; once her branch gets going, it’ll be summer vacation, and we can go over to supervise.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaowan fell into thought. Although she didn’t often interact with Zhao Yanyan, Lin Xiaowan knew that Zhao Yanyan was also a very capable person.

Moreover, the initial preparation for opening a store was indeed very time-consuming. If Zhao Yanyan could join them, it would indeed be a great help for the company’s development.

As for what might happen between Su Lin and Zhao Yanyan, Lin Xiaowan felt that by then, she and Su Lin would have established their relationship.

Given Zhao Yanyan’s personality, as long as Su Lin had a girlfriend, even if she liked him, she wouldn’t deliberately destroy someone else’s relationship. So, there was no need to worry about that aspect.

“Su Lin, do you really want Yanyan to join in? This is your business, what if she messes it up?”

Seeing Lin Xiaowan softening, Su Lin silently cheered, thinking there’s a chance. He smiled and said, “This isn’t just my business, but ours. If Zhao Yanyan wants, it can be her business too. As long as she’s capable, she’ll definitely get stock options or even shares in the future.”

Su Lin knew well that when a company grows to a certain extent, sharing stocks is inevitable. As for the concern of a unified opinion and a coup after sharing stocks, he wasn’t worried at all.

He would only give stocks to those he trusted, like Lin Xiaowan, Xia Shiyu, Chen Yang. Either their favorability was maxed out, or their loyalty was maxed out. It seemed like he was distributing shares, but in reality, he was still the boss.

“Xiaowan, find a way to get Zhao Yanyan to come to Zhongjiang, or let’s have her come for our opening.”

“This way, she can see we’re not just messing around, and it’s also a formal meeting to understand the situation. If she’s really interested, then let’s bring her in.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, “I’ll ask Yanyan later. But don’t get your hopes up, Su Lin, Yanyan isn’t that interested in business; her biggest hobby is dancing.”

Su Lin chuckled and said, “Dancing? Don’t worry, once she experiences the charm of doing business, she’ll lose interest in dancing.”

“Eh… Where does your confidence come from? She’s been studying dance for many years.”

Su Lin chuckled without answering. Sometimes, studying something for many years doesn’t mean one likes it.

Just like studying, there are dozens of people in the class who have been studying for nine years, but how many of them truly love studying?

“It’s okay, you’re with me, Xiaowan. You’ll help me find a way, right?”

“Hmph~! Daydreaming every day, thinking of nothing but nonsense beautiful things.”
