"Jealous? No matter how jealous I am, it's not my place. Let's see how you explain this to Xiaowan and Xiaoyu later."
"Heh, who do I need to answer to when I'm out in this business?"
"Alright, hurry up and tell me what's going on. My intuition tells me that this little princess of the Qin family has a special feeling for you. Su Lin, are you sure you didn't know her before?" Zhao Yanyan asked with a suspicious look.
Su Lin nodded: "Don't worry, I definitely didn't know her before."
"As for why she came to the company with me today, it all started with Qin Delin and me exchanging items."
As she spoke, Su Lin recounted how Qin Jiuyue had seen them exchanging items yesterday and then caused him trouble. Su Lin then described how Qin Jiuyue had come to her house with Qin Delin that morning to retrieve the Yuan blue-and-white porcelain, and how she had gone out to play by herself, only to end up following Su Lin. As for the part about Su Lin taking Qin Jiuyue to experience the thrill of a roller coaster, Su Lin did not mention it.
After listening, Zhao Yanyan sighed and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder she treated you like that yesterday."
"So what do we do now? Let's just keep her at the company."
After saying that, Zhao Yanyan's expression changed slightly; "No, Su Lin, you must have left something out."
"Uh... what else could I have left out?" Su Lin looked at Zhao Yanyan with some surprise.
"Hmph, according to what you said, Qin Jiuyue should have looked angry at you, but the way she looked at you just now was clearly not the kind of look you give an enemy, but rather the look of admiration. Su Lin, eyes don't lie." Zhao Yanyan looked at Su Lin with a confident expression.
Su Lin was somewhat surprised; indeed, women are natural detectives in this regard.
They can grasp even the smallest details and then analyze the whole picture.
Su Lin had to give Zhao Yanyan a thumbs up.
But he can't talk about what happened last night.
Zhao Yanyan shook her head: "Forget it, I can probably guess even if you don't tell me. It's just a hero saving a damsel in distress scenario, only the process is different."
"I'm too lazy to ask these things. If anyone should ask, it should be Xiaowan and Xiaoyu."
Su Lin chuckled lightly, "They might not even ask those questions."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yanyan in front of him and said, "Yanyan, it's a waste of your talent if you don't study law with your thinking and brain."
"Come on, and could you please take your hands off me?"
Su Lin didn't feel embarrassed at all as he withdrew his hand from Zhao Yanyan's thigh; "You know I'm getting old, and these hands have their own ideas and don't listen to me."
"Pfft! You're the only one who can make being a rogue sound so elegant and refined. Now what do we do? Let this little princess sit in the lounge forever?"
Su Lin shrugged: "What else can we do? Otherwise, we can have her handle your official business?"
"That won't do. She clearly has no experience with these things. Su Lin, why don't you go and keep her company? She's the Qin family's little princess and can't be neglected."
Su Lin stood still, not moving. "She's the Qin family's little princess, but you're still my little princess. How can you bear to push me onto another woman?"
Zhao Yanyan hooked her arm around Su Lin's neck and gave him a sweet kiss; "Is it better now?"
"not enough!!"
"And now?"
"It's still not enough."
"And now?"
"Cough cough... That's enough, that's enough, I'm off, Yan Yan, wait for me."
Zhao Yanyan shook her head at Su Lin, wondering how she could have fallen for this guy so easily.
.....
"Su Lin, you're back so soon? Aren't you going to deal with work?"
Su Lin looked at Qin Jiuyue and smiled, "You are a distinguished guest today, so of course it's important to entertain the guest. Besides, the company is already on the right track, so if there are no problems, I generally won't interfere too much."
"Wow! It seems like you have it easy running your company. My grandpa manages his company and I hardly ever see him. He's always on the phone, and appointments are booked until the month after next."
"Your grandfather's company is big, mine is small."
Qin Jiuyue frowned, then pouted and said, "Don't think I don't understand. Grandpa said your chain supermarket has a bright future. If it expands nationwide, it will be a behemoth."
"There are so many wealthy and powerful families across the country, do you think they'll just let me open supermarkets all over the country?"
Qin Jiuyue thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's true, I was thinking too simply."
Su Lin picked up the keys and said, "Let's go."
"Where to?" Qin Jiuyue asked.
"Of course we need to find somewhere to have fun. We can't just let you sit in the company break room all morning, or your grandpa will laugh himself to death."
"Where shall we go for fun?" Qin Jiuyue asked expectantly.
Su Lin shook his head; "There aren't many places to visit in the city. Most of them are just snack stalls, nothing exciting or thrilling."
"Hmm~! Let's just pick any place then, as long as it's not boring."
"Okay!"
Just as Su Lin agreed to Qin Jiuyue's request, his phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar address in Donghai. Su Lin frowned.
At this time, it's not a good thing for an unfamiliar number from Donghai to call.
Hello, who is this?
"Hello, Brother Su, my name is Luo Sihai."
Su Lin waved his hand, signaling Qin Jiuyue to go downstairs first.
Qin Jiuyue knew that Su Lin wanted to talk about serious matters, so she didn't stand still and listen. Instead, she nodded obediently and walked towards the elevator.
Su Lin was somewhat surprised to hear Luo Sihai's slightly respectful voice on the phone; "Fourth Master Luo, what brings you here?"
"Brother Su, calling me Master Luo is too kind. If you don't mind, just call me Old Luo."
Su Lin immediately became alert: "Fourth Master, you wouldn't come here without a reason, would you? Speak up, what is it?"
"Since Brother Su is so straightforward, then I'll speak my mind."
"Okay, go ahead."
"I wonder if Brother Su needs any more manpower? I, Luo, am willing to serve!"

Su Lin took Qin Jiuyue to an arcade and they played there all morning. He didn't expect Qin Jiuyue to be able to play games all morning and seem to find it very fun.
This shows that the child is really holding back. I wonder what she's like at school. Thinking of Qin Jiuyue's pretentious obedient girl act, Su Lin found it a bit funny. He wondered when this girl would reveal her true nature.
After sending Qin Jiuyue to the Treasure Pavilion, Su Lin went to the Sihai Hotel to meet Luo Sihai.
Luo Sihai treated Su Lin very well, personally coming downstairs to greet her.
"Brother Su, I'm so sorry, I really can't get away right now, otherwise I would have come to visit you in person." Luo Si-Hai apologized sincerely.
Su Lin looked at Luo Sihai in front of him. In just one night, the guy looked like he had aged more than ten years. Compared with yesterday, he had completely lost that arrogant and disdainful look in his eyes.
However, Su Lin already knew from Su Zhenguo what happened in the conference room last night.
He gained a new understanding of Luo Sihai; this guy was truly capable of taking things in stride.
Yesterday, Mr. Luo was someone everyone respected, but today he's lowered himself to do things for me.
Luo Sihai kept talking the whole way, while Su Lin just listened in silence, because Luo Sihai was only saying flattering things, which Su Lin was already tired of hearing.
The two went upstairs to the office, and Luo Sihai jogged a few steps to pull out a seat for Su Lin and let her sit down.
After Su Lin sat down, he looked at Luo Sihai and smiled, "Fourth Master, I remember we weren't friends before."
Luo Sihai nodded; "That's right, there was indeed some misunderstanding with Brother Su before."
"Is it a misunderstanding? I don't think so."
Su Lin didn't dwell on the topic, but instead asked, "Why did you choose to side with me?"
"There are many large and small families in the East China Sea, and countless business owners. Although I have some assets, I don't think Mr. Luo needs to do anything for me."
"President Luo should understand the difference between cooperation and loyalty."
There isn't much information about Luo Sihai in the book; all that's known is that he was a ruthless and ambitious figure.
If nothing unexpected happens, he and Lin Tian will mutually benefit and he will become a local tycoon.
But now that Lin Tian is dead, if he doesn't find a powerful backer in time, he will soon be devoured by the families of Donghai.
The two largest families are the Qin family and my Li family.
It would have been fine if he hadn't gotten involved with these families before, but this time he forced Lin Tian to make connections, and to make matters worse, he even got Lin Tian killed, creating a storm.
So Luo Sihai must have run into trouble, and it's a very serious one at that.
Luo Sihai was conflicted. He originally wanted to cooperate with Su Lin, but considering that Su Zhenguo was now a hot commodity in Donghai City, with the Qin and Li families extending olive branches, he felt that he was not qualified to cooperate with Su Lin.
Therefore, the only option is to pledge allegiance and work for Su Lin.
Luo Sihai nodded dejectedly: "Sigh, I, Luo Sihai, have been in the business since I was sixteen. I've seen my share of storms, but this time, hehe... I don't even have a chance to breathe. That woman from the Li family is going to ruin me."
Su Lin asked in surprise, "Fourth Master, I heard from my father that you could have just spent money to avoid trouble, why did they make things so difficult for you?"
Luo Sihai gave a bitter smile: "Paying money to avoid disaster? If it really were a matter of paying money to avoid disaster, that would be great. That woman from the Li family made me sign a transfer agreement, but she didn't give me a single penny. She didn't say a word, but the signal was automatically sent out. Now all the big and small families in Donghai wish they could swallow me whole."
"This woman is amazing. She didn't say anything or do anything, yet she led my company, which is worth tens of billions, to ruin."
