Chapter 113 Who is She

we graduate and move on!" Su Cen explained earnestly.Many people believe Westerners are more casual, but it's not so. A girl like Ginny can be quite sensitive, preferring to judge others by their out...Chapter 113: Who Is She

For Su Can, whether Jian Hua had given him the warning or not didn't matter much because Su Can never intended to delve deep into Song Zhen's family and personal life.

To many people, a woman like Song Zhen, who comes from an affluent background and possesses both angelic beauty and a devilishly perfect figure, as well as a strong personality, is undoubtedly the kind of person that men would pursue relentlessly. Su Can admitted that this girl was indeed very attractive; if he didn't already have Tang Xiaowu by his side, he might also be tempted to pursue her.

This was Song Zhen's charm—regardless of whether you admire or fear her, or maintain a rational distance from her. As a man, it is hard not to feel an extraordinary desire for her; she has the innate ability to make most men lose their composure.

The Senchuan Group behind Song Zhen can't be simply classified as a domestic private enterprise but rather more akin to an overseas company.

Tracing back three generations, the Song family was part of the Tianjin warlords. In those tumultuous times, the Song family began gradually transferring their wealth to developed countries like Europe and America, losing their power in China. The Song family then abandoned military pursuits for business, and through three generations of management, they expanded and developed the Senchuan Group. To this day, the Senchuan Group is a small but well-known foreign enterprise internationally, with its Chinese subsidiary merely being a branch.

Many important figures in the Song family have also entered the political and financial arenas of Europe and America, just like her aunt who serves as chief counsel for the Washington Post Group. They are already integrated into these countries' upper echelons to support their family.

Hence, Su Can had long judged that Song Zhen's background was complex, making her a formidable individual. If she were involved with the influential person from the Gao family mentioned by Jian Hua, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

Su Can instinctively sensed an aura of danger when Jian Hua spoke about Gao Hong but remained composed. Su Can knew that truly powerful figures in this world weren't those who were loudly proclaimed on various lists and known to everyone. On the contrary, a genuinely influential person had extraordinary "invisibility."

Regarding the person who could compel Jian Hua to serve their interests, it vaguely stirred an excitement within Su Can: one part was out of respect for such a powerful adversary, while the other revealed that he could finally see through the fog and interact with some influential forces in this world. This represented that he had become someone different from before.

Lǐ Zōngpényǔ flew from Henan to Shanghai.

Su Càn had already contacted Lǐ Zōngpényǔ through Lín Zhòuwú beforehand. However, Lǐ Zōngpényǔ rejected the arrangement for Su Càn's car to pick him up at Pudong on the day of his arrival: "In the morning, I still need to meet some friends who might arrange a dinner party for me as a welcome gesture. How about you coming over for lunch in the afternoon Then we can leave together."

Su Càn thought that since Lǐ Zōngpényǔ had just arrived and it was normal for people to want to host him, but such an occasion wasn’t really suitable for him. Thus, he said, "I won't be attending. After lunch, come straight over to Nan University. I'll be at the school in the afternoon."

In reality, Lǐ Zōngpényǔ was a military cadre's child with no airs about him; he came from Nanjing Military Compound but due to his family’s close relationship with Lín Zhòuwú, he inherited certain beliefs and principles passed down through generations.

During the holiday gathering in Róngchéng, Lín Zhòuwú had jokingly said they were like Lu Xun and Run Tu. Too complicated. However, Lǐ Zōngpényǔ wasn't upset; he merely smiled it off. In truth, Lǐ Zōngpényǔ was exceptionally mature and steady for his age, with perhaps even stronger determination and goals compared to Lín Zhòuwú and Wáng Weiwēi.

Lǐ Zōngpényǔ was a couple of years older than Su Càn. During university, due to his excellent performance at military school and his political background, he was granted the rank of captain upon graduation. This almost guaranteed him an expansive future in the military system. However, Lǐ Zōngpényǔ resolutely chose to abandon this path, leaving the army to work with Su Càn at a developing Chinese social network.

Hence, Su Càn could not help but feel honored by Lǐ Zōngpényǔ's arrival.

When Lǐ Zōngpényǔ appeared on Nan University’s campus, his appearance was simple and unassuming: a pair of light-washed blue jeans, sneakers, and a plain shirt. He carried a Nike backpack that seemed to contain all he had brought with him for this trip.

Standing before Su Càn at 188 centimeters tall, Lǐ Zōngpényǔ’s sturdy build was imposing enough to make the muscle-bound coaches of Nan University's gym feel inferior in comparison.

Su Càn reached out and pinched the muscles on Lǐ Zōngpényǔ’s arm that were visible through his shirt, slightly doubtful as he smiled. "Is it real" It was Sunday when Lǐ Zōngpényǔ arrived, so Su Càn temporarily arranged for him to stay at a Holiday Inn outside the university until Monday before making specific arrangements in Merlion Tower.

Su Cen also called Tang Wu and Lin Luoran to invite them for dinner together in the evening. He also contacted Xiao Xu, Li Han, and others, planning to host a welcome banquet for Li Zhipengyu at the Renaissance Hotel restaurant.

After receiving Su Cen's call, Lin Luoran said she would arrive in the afternoon as agreed upon. Hearing that increasingly alluring and pleasant-sounding female voice over the phone, Su Cen inexplicably thought of the time when Lin Luoran had intimidated Song Zhen on Hengshan Road. At the same time, he also recalled his nonsensical ramblings when Tang Wu brought him back after a barbecue one night. Had he actually said anything outrageous

Overall, these events made Su Cen feel inexplicably nervous about the gathering of Tang and Lin.

But then Su Cen would give himself a mocking smile; perhaps he was too self-assured That evening, when Tang Wu and Lin Luoran met to welcome Li Zhipengyu, it was enough to make Su Cen's heart race. However, what reassured Su Cen was that Tang Wu remained aloof, while Lin Luoran’s sharpness towards Song Zhen did not surface. Instead, Lin Luoran asked Tang Wu where she bought her dress and invited her to go shopping together the following weekend. Today, Tang Wu wore a chiffon dress with short sleeves, just like Lin Luoran, revealing their slender legs. The most greedy part was that Lin Luoran continued admiring her; looking at Tang Wu, Lin Luoran said, "Tang Wu, I remember you didn't often wear skirts before except for your school performances. This looks wonderful; your legs shouldn’t be concealed. It makes me feel like I'm wasting something precious."

Was it a delusion or not Su Cen felt that after Song Zhen appeared, the relationship between Tang Wu and Lin Luoran seemed to have grown closer. Such interactions were rarely seen before. Whatever Lin Luoran was saying would certainly make any male present feel uneasy, but fortunately, she spoke softly, essentially only Su Cen nearby could hear her.

This sentence sounded familiar; previously, Su Cen had been shamelessly irresponsible and said to Tang Wu that he liked the way she looked in skirts.

Therefore, at this moment, both of them might have simultaneously thought about this. Su Cen then recalled how Tang Xiaowu's attire had gradually changed from high school T-shirts and jeans towards a more elegant and graceful style like Lin Luoran’s.

Tang Wu's reason for disliking skirts during her high school days was simple: it would attract too much attention, making her the focal point of everyone's gaze, which was burdensome to her like needles pricking her back.

To change these habits and gradually transform herself step by step was all done solely for this boy who belonged to her.

At present, Tang Wu observed without showing any emotion; she blushed but remained composed. She continued the conversation with Lin Luoran as if not noticing Su Cen's gaze. She thought that if it weren’t for the finely attuned Lin Luoran beside her, she would have kicked the shameless Su Cen under the table.

Su Cun naturally couldn't be too blatant. Noticing Lin Luoran's gaze, he immediately withdrew his action. Lin Luoran caught the subtle understanding between Su and Tang, giving him a mysterious smile that resembled an empress looking down at children who could be redeemed.

Su Cun was irritated by her teasing.

He then proceeded to discuss business with Li Zongpeng: "Your position is Executive Assistant to the CEO. As my right-hand man, you will connect me and Qiao Chunxin's side, take over some intermediary company operations, and familiarize yourself with the materials tomorrow without any issues, correct"

Pausing for a moment, Su Cun continued: "Regarding your salary, it is temporarily set at 100,000 yuan per year, including five insurances and one housing fund. There's also double pay at the end of the year. Are there any other待遇方麵你再看看還有什麼不滿意的地方？" issues with benefits that you want to address"

Li Zongpeng nodded firmly: "It’s already much higher than I expected, so the benefits are not an issue. Lin Zhounü said for me to come work with you, and I trust his judgment." “The point isn't what Lin Zhounü says but whether you truly want to come work for me？”

"Your young master Su's talent is beyond question. You've already established FaceBook Chinese and its subsidiaries at such a young age, which is unprecedented. Even among peers in China, you are top-notch. I find it difficult to accomplish anything in my life that I wouldn't regret looking back on when I'm old; the same goes for my career. If following you allows me to achieve this goal, then I am satisfied."

Li Zongpeng took a gulp of cold Tsingtao beer and said: "Children born in our compound are often criticized as being naturally endowed with more resources than others since birth, starting off at an advantage. This is unfair. However, the reality isn't as exaggerated as rumors suggest; most of us are quite ordinary or even mediocre. It's hard for us to replicate the glory and brilliance of our elders' generation.

It’s even harder to emulate their life paths. Some of my friends from the compound live ordinary lives in marriage, while others just coast through as minor clerks in government agencies. Only a rare few who break free might become objects of envy. I don't want to live under someone else's shadow; I need my grandfather to know that I can support myself independently. Doing what I choose will also bring me glory."

Su Cun nodded and patted Li Zongpeng on the shoulder. He needed such a person who could handle matters discreetly and remain composed. Lin Zhounü truly sent a timely gift.

After the welcoming banquet for Li Zongpeng, everyone dispersed. Lin Luoran left after saying they would meet again soon, while Zhang Xiaqiao and others still had another reception to attend that evening. Su Cun and Tang Wu escorted Li Zongpeng back to his room.awns of the compound, only one person, Mu Kai, had fallen ill from anger after causing Old Master Xu to become seriously ill and injuring Xu Jian with a hired assassin.There were also rumors circulati...
