Chapter 1939: Chapter 2025: I Came to Find You

"Well... it’s a long story. When I got to hell, they said there was a woman in Chengdu crying, and suggested I come back and see for myself!"

"You’re just full of it; I wasn’t crying at all! You’re such a troublemaker, where are you now? I’m coming to find you right away!"

Ling’er excitedly said, realizing for the first time since Su Xuan returned that he wasn’t dead. Ling’er, far away in Chengdu, didn’t know much about what was happening!

Su Xuan was planning to finish his business here and then head to Chengdu to find them.

"Uh... I’m not in Chengdu, I’m in the Imperial Capital!"

Su Xuan felt a bit awkward, thinking to himself that he’s really not reliable as a boyfriend!

"Lin, book me a ticket to the Imperial Capital, the sooner the better!"

"But President Shui, didn’t you say you were going to Turkey with your parents for New Year?"

"You can let them know that I’m going to the Imperial Capital to see Su Xuan, and they’ll have to go alone."

After Ling’er said this, Su Xuan found himself choked up, honestly surprised that Ling’er would ditch all her plans just to see him!

"Su Xuan, send me your location later. I’ll head to the airport now!"

Ling’er spoke while seeming to pack her things!

"Uh, won’t your parents be upset?"

Su Xuan felt a bit awkward!

"Nah, they’ve asked about you a hundred times, and I’m embarrassed to tell them you died!"

"..."

Su Xuan felt awkward, sensing Ling’er’s excitement, and couldn’t help but feel guilty!

"Well... why not bring your parents too? I have lots of houses in the Imperial Capital and haven’t really shown my filial piety!"

Su Xuan said with some guilt!

"No worries, besides, they’re not accustomed to the northern dryness. They’ve complimented you so many times, saying you’re thoughtful and considerate. They even thought you were my assistant, worrying you’d feel inferior. Silly, you don’t know I pretended you died, fooling them for over a year!"

"..."

Su Xuan felt touched. Back in Chengdu, he helped the Shui Family retrieve their company, but only Ling’er and a few others knew his true identity; her parents thought he was just a guard who later became Ling’er’s assistant!

"By the way, how did you get my number before and not call me? Don’t you know I wake up every day and have a cry?"

"Well... I didn’t have your number before, I got it from one of your people!"

"One of mine, you mean Hou Liangping? Oh, you didn’t charm his daughter, did you? Haha, you charming rascal, watch how I’ll teach you a lesson when I get there!"

"Ahem... stop being ridiculous, I don’t have that skill! I just wanted to ask, how much do you pay Hou Liangping?"

Finally getting to the point, at this moment Hou Liangping was somewhat dizzy. He realized Su Xuan and Ling’er knew each other incredibly well, enough to make him spit blood!

"Uh... not much, a million. He’s quite capable!"

"Alright, then pay him ten thousand a month, let him intern for a year, and if he passes, pay him whatever you want; if he doesn’t want to continue, let him pack up and leave. I’ll arrange someone else for you!"

Su Xuan straightforwardly said!

"Ahem..."

At that moment, Hou Liangping almost spat blood, from a monthly salary of a million to ten thousand, it was such a trap!

"Oh... seems like Hou Liangping wasn’t sharp enough and offended our ancestor here!"

By this time, Ling’er had packed up and hopped in the car with her suitcase, and her secretary drove her to the airport!

"I’m heading to the airport now, got a one o’clock flight, should be there by 3 if all goes well. Make sure you invite me out for dinner!"

"No problem, I recently opened a restaurant, you’ll eat your fill!"

"Really? You’re so lazy, yet willing to run a restaurant?"

"Ahem, don’t say that, your husband works diligently!"

"Haha... yeah right, you’re probably just a hands-off boss, so what’s the place called? If it’s not five-star, I won’t go!"

At this moment, Ling’er finally got in touch with Su Xuan, and couldn’t bear to hang up!

"Tenglong Hotel, I think it’s five-star, though someone said it’s not even a three-star dive..."

"Tenglong? You opened that? Several owners have told me it’s very classy, asking me to come to the Imperial Capital to visit. Heard many big stars dine there, didn’t realize it was yours!"

Ling’er said with a smile.

"Ahem..."

At this time, Hou Liangping felt most awkward; it made him nearly spit blood. Embarrassingly, he hadn’t heard of it, thinking it was some mediocre hotel, but it was one he couldn’t even access, and Deng Xiaolu was a manager there; indeed her prospects were uncommon!

"So tell me, why suddenly deal with Hou Liangping? He’s doing a good job, don’t abuse your power; it’s your wife’s company!"

Ling’er playfully said.

"I’m not firing him, just can’t stand his pompous attitude; a million seems to make him think he’s Bill Gates. I have a buddy as a manager in my hotel, said he’s a nobody, so I thought to humble him a bit. Will you help or not?"

Su Xuan said nonchalantly!

"I’ll help... it’s up to you! A million, huh? You just want him to quit, right? Fine, I’ll notify HR, post-holiday his salary drops to ten thousand a month, for a twelve-month internship. If he leaves, you owe me one!"

Of course, Hou Liangping wasn’t aware, but Ling’er thought even if firing Hou Liangping brought huge loss to the company, it didn’t matter; Su Xuan was the priority!

"No worries, if he can’t handle it, I’ll definitely find you capable people. Even if truly lost, I’ll open a new one for you, just a few billion, right?"

Su Xuan spoke quite lavishly, which was enough to make Hou Liangping spit blood. What defines a true magnate? Compared to him, he was not even a clown!

"Hmm... I’ll listen to you, we’ll chat on WeChat later, I’m going to call HR first!"

After hanging up, Deng Xiaolu came closer to Su Xuan, whispering in a low voice!

"Isn’t that too much? Xiaoyu’s father is under a lot of pressure, paying a lot for his house every month, and ten thousand a month isn’t enough to live on!"

Though Deng Xiaolu found Hou Liangping ambitious, he thought Xiaoyu’s father was sincere and kind-hearted!

"Oh my..."

Su Xuan looked at this character, thinking to himself: Are you kidding me? Condemning kindness can’t happen this fast.
