Chapter 275: Fast and Efficient
Yunyao still couldn't associate the man before her with the grand image of him described by her brother, yet she still pulled out an invitation and placed it on the table.
"On the 18th of this month, our Yun Family will hold a charity dinner at Lantian Club. I hope Mr. Su can attend at that time."
"A charity dinner?"
Su Chen muttered. To tell the truth, he wasn't very interested in these kinds of gatherings.
However, he guessed it was Yunlong's idea; after all, he was a soldier under his command, so it was good to make an appearance.
"Alright, if nothing special comes up, I'll attend."
Su Chen glanced at her and asked,
"Miss Yun, did you come here just to deliver this invitation?"
"That, about the incident last time at Kayley Mall..."
Yunyao hesitated, still unsure how to express herself properly, considering her attitude back then was reserved and she hadn't supported the other party.
"That incident is over!"
Su Chen waved his hand. That was just a trivial matter to him.
"Did the Wu Family cause you any trouble afterward?"
Yunyao hesitated before asking, as this question was indeed what she was most keen to ask.
In her view, the Wu Family had lost face badly and would naturally not let things rest; retaliation was inevitable.
Yet, seeing him lying here comfortably now, could it be that he had neutralized the Wu Family's reprisal?
She knew that the Wu Family harbored some secret experts, which was one of the primary reasons the other three families didn't dare provoke them. Could it be that those experts had also come back empty-handed?
"What trouble? I haven't done anything excessive, have I?"
Su Chen, of course, wouldn't tell Yunyao that he had already killed several people from the Wu Family. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Yunyao was completely speechless after hearing his words. You beat Mrs. Wu to that extent, stuffed her into a toilet, and humiliated her, and that wasn't excessive?
Then what would be excessive for you?
"Alright, is there anything else?"
Su Chen stood up and said, sensing that Yunlong's sister might be trying to pry something out of him.
Seeing his demeanor, Yunyao felt she had no choice but to take her leave, clearly sensing he was showing her out.
However, Su Chen's attitude also left Yunyao feeling quite insulted; she was annoyed.
After all, people usually treated her with utmost respect, and this guy, on the other hand, had started showing her out after a few words.
"Oh, if Director Lin is free, I hope both of you can come!"
Yunyao said before leaving.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen understood. It must have been Yunlong who told her about his relationship with Lin Ruoxue, but he didn't really mind either.
After Yunyao left, Su Chen headed back to the PR department!
As soon as he walked in again, the women crowded around him again.
"Director, you came back so soon?!"
Zhao Lin Youyou asked, her expression quite suggestive.
"What do you mean 'so soon'?"
Su Chen was perplexed, sensing the women looking at him with strange expressions.
"Oh, we were just noting how quickly you came back!"
Ran Ting also said, her face meaningful as she spoke.
"Efficiency, you know!"
Su Chen boasted somewhat proudly.
"The director's efficiency is indeed fast!"
"Yes, the director's work efficiency is really high!"
...
For a moment, the women all praised Su Chen for his quick work and high efficiency!
Hearing all these praises, Su Chen should have been very happy—he was happy after all, since everyone likes being complimented, right?
But Su Chen was a little unable to feel happy; he always felt there was some hidden meaning in these women's tones, but he couldn't figure out what it could be.
A moment later, everyone returned to their seats to work—the first priority is, after all, work, as they have to earn their salaries!
As Su Chen watched the lingering mischievous smiles on everyone's faces, he felt even more uneasy. So, he slowly walked over and sat next to a young woman in her early twenties.
"Manager, you…"
Seeing Su Chen sit beside her, Shu Yin immediately became nervous, and her pretty face flushed crimson.
Although Shu Yin sometimes dressed quite fashionably, those who knew her well were aware that she was actually quite shy and honest.
The others, seeing Su Chen sit next to Shu Yin, were puzzled and secretly amazed—was Su Chen really not going to leave even Shu Yin alone? That was beastly!
"What are you looking at! Get back to work properly, or I will deduct your bonuses!"
Su Chen "fiercely" scanned the crowd; he was now accustomed to referring to himself as the manager.
Although they didn't believe Su Chen would really deduct their bonuses, everyone still turned their heads and pretended to start working, but their ears were pricked up sharply.
"Shu Yin, how has Brother Su treated you normally?"
Su Chen put away his "ferocious" look, replacing it with what he thought was a very amiable smile.
"Very good."
Shu Yin nodded, since Su Chen had asked the question, what else could she say?
Even if Su Chen had not been nice to her, she would still have had to say this; besides, Su Chen did actually take good care of her.
"That's good, then can you tell Brother Su why everyone's looks were a bit strange just now?"
Su Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.
Sitting near Shu Yin, a few women almost burst out laughing when they heard Su Chen's question, but they held it in, though their bodies obviously shook with the effort.
When Shu Yin heard Su Chen's question, her face also turned "scarlet," her heart pounding rapidly.
"Shu Yin, do you know why?"
Seeing her like this, Su Chen grew more baffled and continued to ask.
"I know."
Shu Yin nodded slightly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's.
"So what is the reason?"
Su Chen perked up and continued to inquire.
"This, this…"
Shu Yin suddenly stuttered, her face turning a deep shade of red, as if water was about to drip from it.
She certainly knew the reason, but how could she say it?
She simply couldn't bring herself to say it!
"Shu Yin, you said I treat you well, and you can't even tell Brother Su this little thing?"
Su Chen deliberately put on a stern face.
Seeing Su Chen like this, Shu Yin also became somewhat panicked.
"I, I'll say it."
Since Su Chen had said this, what else could Shu Yin do?
Then she whispered for a while into Su Chen's ear. After speaking, she felt her earlobes burning hot.
After listening, Su Chen was dumbfounded!
All these women in the public relations department—what kind of people were they? They were completely a bunch of rowdies!
He had merely chatted with Yunyao for a few moments, and these women had all related it to intimate affairs between men and women.
It must be said, these women were truly formidable!
Even though he could tolerate all that, the fact that these women doubted his capabilities in that regard was absolutely intolerable!
This was a big deal involving Su Chen's dignity and boundary as a man!
He now finally understood the real meaning behind their comments about his quick actions and high efficiency…
