Lin Xiaowan clung to Su Lin like an octopus, her legs wrapped tightly around his. Su Lin didn’t expect that just a few days apart would make Lin Xiaowan miss him so much. He rubbed her head, “Xiaowan, I’m back.”

“Mm, I was so bored without you here. There wasn’t much to do at the office,” Lin Xiaowan complained in Su Lin’s ear.

“Did you miss me?”

Lin Xiaowan hit Su Lin lightly on the chest, “That’s a rhetorical question.”

“Heh! But you didn’t say it on the phone.”

“Would saying it have brought you back sooner? You must have been busy with the new branch in Donghai,” Lin Xiaowan said understandingly.

Su Lin smiled, “I could have come back last night, and you could have seen me sooner.”

“Seeing you now is not too late.”

After their affectionate exchange, Su Lin gently patted Lin Xiaowan’s back, “Okay, let’s not stay here in the sun. Let’s go upstairs.”

Lin Xiaowan blushed and nodded, releasing Su Lin. She then noticed Xia Shiyu beside her, “Xiaoyu, sorry, I got too excited just now.”

“It’s fine, I understand. I felt the same when I saw Su Lin,” Xia Shiyu replied.

Lin Xiaowan looked at Xia Shiyu admiringly, “Xiaoyu, you look even prettier than before. Your skin is so radiant. Su Lin must have taken good care of you.”

“Heh, he wouldn’t dare neglect me.”

Su Lin nodded, pleased to see the two women getting along like sisters. Once upstairs at the company, they were greeted by Chen Yang, looking serious in a suit.

“Yangzi, you’re here.”

Chen Yang nodded solemnly, “Heard you were back, so I came to check in.”

Su Lin clapped him on the shoulder, “Now that you’re a manager, why have you lost your casual demeanor?”

Chen Yang sighed, “I’m constantly disciplining people. I can’t be all smiles with them anymore. That’s why I’ve become like this.”

“You don’t need to be so strict. As long as the sales are good and there are no issues at the supermarkets, there’s no need for harshness.”

Chen Yang bitterly smiled, “Boss, managing all aspects of seven supermarkets, I can’t oversee everything. I have to be strict with the store managers.”

Su Lin reassured him, “I have no doubts about your ability. Just don’t be too harsh.”

Chen Yang understood that to maintain authority over older, more experienced store managers, he couldn’t show weakness.

“Take some time to get your driver’s license. Soon, we’ll be providing company cars,” Su Lin added casually.

“Providing cars? Already?”

Su Lin nodded, “Of course. The company has enough funds. Once things are stable here, we’ll start expanding.”

Chen Yang was stunned, “Expanding to seven cities at once is a bit much, isn’t it?”

“Not at all. Do we have enough funds?”

Chen Yang confirmed they had enough to open the first store in each city, but a full-scale expansion would be challenging.

Su Lin assured him, “If we run short on funds, let me know. I’ll invest more into the company.”

Su Lin, who wasn’t keen on monitoring stock prices daily, had invested in some promising stocks. His initial capital of over twenty million had grown significantly.

So Su Lin wasn’t worried about expanding too quickly; the stock market was his safety net, his personal ATM.

“Do you want to join us for lunch?” Su Lin asked Chen Yang, who glanced at Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan and shook his head,

“I shouldn’t interrupt your reunion. My sister Xiao Lin is waiting for me at home.”

“How did your sister do in her exams?”

“She scored over 700 and got into Jiangning No. 1 High School,” Chen Yang said with pride.

Su Lin nodded, his memory of Chen Lin limited to the time he stood up for Chen Yang. In the original story, Chen Lin appeared only when she was in university.

“Alright then, you go ahead.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

“I’ll go check on the finance department. Who knows if things got messed up while I was away,” Xia Shiyu said, winking at Lin Xiaowan before slipping out.

Lin Xiaowan’s face turned pink.

Su Lin looked at her with a smile, “Why so quiet now? You were so enthusiastic just now.”

Lin Xiaowan walked up to Su Lin, “Xiaoyu might be listening outside, Su Lin, don’t mess around.”

Su Lin assured her, “That’s not possible. You know Xiaoyu’s character; she wouldn’t even want to listen.”

“But… but this is the office.” Lin Xiaowan bit her lip, looking at her shoes, too shy to meet Su Lin’s gaze.

“Don’t worry, there’s a rest room. Chen Yang thoughtfully prepared it after I mentioned it,” Su Lin said with a smile.

“Ah, so you planned for this to happen today.” Lin Xiaowan pinched Su Lin’s waist.

“Ouch! Xiaowan, although I have muscles, you shouldn’t pinch so hard. Don’t you know that muscles hurt more when pinched?”

“I… I really hurt you? Let me see.”

Su Lin quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his lap, “Let’s take care of business first.”

“Uuuu…”

They didn’t emerge from the office until the evening. By then, Yu Lin Company had many employees who wouldn’t have recognized their boss without his photo on the wall.

Seeing Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan come out looking sweet and intimate, many hearts were broken among the male staff. They worked there not only for the good salary but also because of Manager Lin’s beauty. Now, it turned out she was taken.

Previously, Su Lin hadn’t been so bold when Xia Shiyu was also present, but now it was just Lin Xiaowan, so he was more daring.

“Su Lin, what are they doing? And your walk, can you not be so flamboyant? It makes me want to hit you.”

Su Lin laughed, “Didn’t you hear what they were saying?”

“I couldn’t hear from this far. What did they say?”

Su Lin nodded, “They are envious and jealous, wondering how I managed to win you over, and many guys are daydreaming about you. Tsk, tsk…”

“You have such good hearing to catch that from this distance.”

Su Lin, with a straight face, said, “Xiaowan, you need to focus on what matters.”

“I am focusing on what matters. I wish my ears were as good as yours.”

“Okay, you win.” Su Lin realized Lin Xiaowan was playing dumb, but he still wore a smug smile and walked with an air of arrogance.

He thought to himself, amused, “If they knew Xia Shiyu was also mine, I wonder what their expressions would be.”

Even after the pair left, the employees continued to gossip about Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan. Su Lin didn’t care about their opinions. In this world, it wasn’t uncommon for wealthy men to have multiple partners. He had only two, which was quite modest.
