Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 257: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 57

A man in a suit emerged from the elevator, looking rather plain or even stiff, with black-rimmed glasses. He glanced around at everyone, finally resting his gaze on President Li and flashed a sycophantic smile, "This must be President Li."

President Li glanced at Su Zhiruan and snickered covertly, exchanging looks with his female secretary as if to say, so this is the kind of man her boyfriend is. He slowly stood up, his face increasingly marked by arrogance, "So you are the man Mr. Xiaosu skipped work to find. I thought you would be remarkable!"

The female secretary followed President Li, flipping her hair with a smug expression, "President Su, you must be really hungry, eating whatever is available. No wonder there’s always talk of your dominance in the marketplace, turns out it’s career success but romantic loss!"

The female secretary was President Li’s right-hand man. Seeing her laugh, the team behind also laughed and started to whisper among themselves.

She had thought Su Zhiruan would panic or be embarrassed, but Mr. Xiaosu’s reaction was totally contrary to her expectation.

At that moment, Su Zhiruan just smiled slightly, put away her phone, and turned her head to look at another elevator.

"President Li, Miss Secretary, shall we step aside to talk?" The suited man who came out of the elevator didn’t know what they were saying, but since he had reported the intention to collaborate with President Li, he had personally come down to receive them.

The man in the suit adjusted his glasses and followed the gaze of President Li, the female secretary, and their team toward Su Zhiruan, who was still obscured by people sitting on the sofa.

It was just a moment, but the man’s expression changed drastically, and he even forgot about President Li, striding over to Su Zhiruan and exclaiming, "Madam—why are you here?!"

President Li and his secretary, hearing his address, exchanged a smile before President Li showed a knowing look, "It seems you two are quite close, huh? How come there’s no news of President Su getting engaged? You’ve even started calling her Madam!"

"Given the Su Family’s status, to be linked with a junior leader from Zhou Group would indeed be a suitable match, wouldn’t it?" The female secretary smirked arrogantly as she fiddled with her nails.

"Madam—they—" The suited man had already picked up on the insinuations from President Li and his secretary, and within moments, breaking out in a cold sweat, he tried to explain.

President Li and his secretary had just returned from abroad and were unaware of the relationship between Mr. Zhou of Zhou Group and Miss Su, thus their groundless assertions. But, as a subordinate at Zhou Group, he was already well aware that the current head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Mingyu, was dating the very Miss Su standing in front of them.

Ever since he took over the business, the President had never been seen with a female companion, dedicating all his attention to the company, that’s why when a girlfriend appeared, many took note of Su Zhiruan’s face, to avoid accidentally offending her.

Su Zhiruan stood up, gazing at the floor numbers of another elevator. After withdrawing her gaze, she looked at the anxious man in the suit, saying, "He’ll be here soon; if you’re eager to discuss the collaboration, you don’t need to wait for my boyfriend here."

"You guys aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend then!" President Li raised an eyebrow, his eyes flitting between the man in the suit and Su Zhiruan, "It seems we misunderstood."

"No, this person is our—" As the man in the suit tried to continue explaining, he was interrupted by the female secretary.

She laughed meaningfully, "We’ve waited this long already, what’s a little longer? It’s a pleasure to finally meet Mr. Xiaosu and her boyfriend today; surely there will be more chances in the future!"

"Speaking of which, what position does Mr. Xiaosu’s boyfriend hold?" President Li speculated maliciously, "Is he one of the shareholders?"

His words carried a stench of malice—the shareholders of Zhou Group were significantly older, the youngest being 54, which was no secret in their circles.

"He’s just an ordinary employee," Su Zhiruan responded indifferently before sitting back leisurely on the sofa, "If you don’t know what to say, you might as well keep quiet. Just because I’m polite doesn’t mean I don’t have a temper."

Following her retort, President Li and his secretary didn’t say anything more.

They all waited to laugh at Su Zhiruan, wondering what kind of man she would end up with.

The Su Family’s young lady falling for an ordinary employee at Zhou Group was already a huge joke; just witnessing it and spreading the news would diminish the Su Family’s influence.

"For someone like Miss Su, she must be in pursuit of love, even if it’s just a minor employee, she might genuinely fall for you." The female secretary emphasized "minor employee" heavily, her gaze shifting towards the elevator as she waited for Su Zhiruan’s boyfriend to appear, continuously chattering, "Mr. Xiaosu’s choice in men really is declining! I remember previously—"

Before she could finish, the elevator doors slowly opened. Su Zhiruan ignored her and walked straight over.

Everyone in the venue, as if by agreement, turned their heads toward that direction—

The man in the suit even held his breath due to nervousness.

"Ding—" The elevator doors opened again.

The female secretary and President Li eagerly looked on, but upon seeing who came out, their eyes widened in shock!

"Zhou, President Zhou?!" President Li was the first to speak out, his neck stretched, his eyes wide and mouth agape, stammering again, "Zhou Mingyu... President Zhou?!"

Zhou Mingyu didn’t even look at them, his first glance was at Su Zhiruan; he put away his phone, walked over and took her hand, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

At that moment, the female secretary was nearly petrified!

She too was the daughter of a minor family, albeit an illegitimate one, but she had always felt she was no different from a young lady. After knowing Su Zhiruan, intense jealousy had arisen, leading to her words and actions always being confrontational towards Su Zhiruan.

"President!"

Seeing Zhou Mingyu arrive, the man in the suit visibly relaxed a lot. He stood beside Zhou Mingyu, feeling this was where he rightfully belonged.

"Who are they?" Zhou Mingyu frowned, looking at President Li and then at the female secretary, whose eyes were filled with jealousy, asking the man in the suit.

"They’ve come to talk about a collaboration with Zhou Group," the man in the suit, adept at gauging the situation, noticed Su Zhiruan and then added to Zhou Mingyu, "This project, Miss Su is also competing for."

The instant the man in the suit spoke, President Li’s face suddenly turned pale as though drained of blood, realizing he had lost this time.

It was his lack of restraint that had cost him!

If they hadn’t insisted on staying to see Su Zhiruan’s boyfriend and mocked him, perhaps the contract would have been confirmed by now!
