Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss Chapter 568: Ask For Leniency

Chapter 568: Ask For Leniency

He Xiaoman took out her phone and called the chauffeur to ask where he was.

After hanging up the phone, she pulled out her compact from her purse and checked the mirror. She could not help feeling annoyed when she saw the bad swelling on her forehead.

Lu Hongwen dumped her at the restaurant and had driven off by himself after scolding her. She had no choice but to call the chauffeur to drive over in another car from home to pick her up. She had been waiting for almost 20 minutes and he was yet to show up.

He Xiaoman placed her compact back into her purse and raised her head to look around. Her eyes suddenly halted when they landed on the spiral staircase.

Lin Shuwen and Fang Chen were walking down the stairs one after another.

He Xiaoman instantly recognized Lin Shuwen. Although Fang Chen looked familiar, she did not bother to think too deeply about him.

She only had her eyes on Lin Shuwen.

He Xiaoman felt indignant thinking about the bidding. They had so much confidence about winning the bid previously. It was unfathomable why things were ruined after they attempted to bribe him with a bank card.

This project was crucial to the company’s advancement. If they did not have so much hope in the beginning, she might have felt a little better.

However, the munic.i.p.al administration gave them hope but ended up crus.h.i.+ng it. Anyone would be furious with the outcome.

He Xiaoman contemplated for a few seconds. She wanted to stand up and beg Lin Shuwen for leniency. What if she could convince him to change his mind?

Lin Shuwen did not notice He Xiaoman. Instead, he spotted Min Yu near the door. He turned sideways and asked Fang Chen softly. “Shall we go over and say h.e.l.lo to Young Master Min?”

Old Mr. Pei had vaguely told Lin Shuwen about Min Yu’s status previously. Although Old Mr. Pei did not say it out loud, it was an easy guess considering he was an important man from the capital and went by the surname Min.

Fang Chen glanced sideways at Lin Shuwen. “Nope.”

Lin Shuwen promptly adjusted his spectacles and said impatiently, “I asked you to get close to Pei Rong, but you refused to do it. So, I stopped bugging you about it. Young Master Min has far higher status than Pei Rong. Also, he seems like quite a gentleman and is easy to get along with, yet you refuse to make friends with him. Are you out to ruin your career?”

Although Lin Shuwen was his secretary, he was more like a strategist most of the time, especially when it came to human relations and career advancement. He was remarkable at his job.

Fang Chen went quiet for a moment. He suppressed this urge to correct Lin Shuwen about Min Yu’s gentlemanly appearance and laid-back air and headed over to Min Yu.

Lin Shuwen felt relieved. He could not help sighing. It sure was tough to be his secretary.

Min Yu placed his phone in his pocket when he saw Fang Chen walking over.

Min Yu’s black coat gave him a professional aura. His well-chiseled features felt cool and distant.

Since Fang Chen did not take Pei Feng’s medicine, Min Yu contained his cold aura slightly.

“Hi, Young Master Min...”

Initially, Fang Chen a.s.sumed that Min Yu would treat him coldly like he did in the private room earlier along with slight hostility. To his surprise, Min Yu was unantic.i.p.atedly patient and polite when he came over to chat with him.

Even though Fang Chen felt deeply flattered all of a sudden, it scared him, and he felt that something was amiss. If Min Yu had kept up his cold airs, Fang Chen might have felt a little better.

“I’m sure you will do well after you get transferred to the capital,” said Min Yu courteously once more.

Fang Chen felt dumbstruck by the nice things Min Yu said.
