Marry Me Quick

Chapter 164

As she didn’t get a reply from Qin Muchen, Su Ziyue appeared sulky until after she finished her breakfast. When she

gave her man a present, she naturally hoped that he would like it, but Qin Muchen didn’t say anything about it at all.

So, how was she supposed to know whether he liked the present or not?

After coming out of the villa, Su Ziyue was about to climb into her car when Qin Muchen stopped her. “Come here,

Su Ziyue.”

“What?” Su Ziyue turned around and looked at Qin Muchen without walking toward him.

“You are not allowed to drive without my permission.” Noticing how she stood there without moving, Qin Muchen

took several steps and strode across toward her. He then shoved her into his car.

“Why can’t I drive? I…” Su Ziyue was interrupted by Qin Muchen rudely. He stared at her forehead with his cold

eyes and said, “I think someone who dares to hit a pedestrian in the middle of the city with a car is not fit to drive.

What do you think?” Clearly, he sounded threatening when he uttered the last few words.

Su Ziyue unknowingly held out her hand and touched her forehead. “I think it should be fine. After all, back then…”

Qin Muchen gave her a look. “Hmm?”

Su Ziyue became speechless. Seeing that she kept quiet, Qin Muchen turned around contentedly and proceeded to

drive the car. Su Ziyue buckled up carefully in silence; she remembered being involved in the car accident because

she had lost her concentration while trying to call Qin Muchen that time. However, she didn’t plan on telling Qin

Muchen about this little episode.

Qin Muchen left after driving her to the entrance of the company. With that, Su Ziyue took her bag and went into

the office. As soon as she arrived at the office, she was notified that there would be a meeting. It seemed like Su

Yuanming was itching for trouble recently!

After spending over ten minutes loitering around, Su Ziyue took the documents and went into the meeting room. It

seemed like the other colleagues had just arrived too. Su Ziyue found a spot and sat down, waiting for Su

Yuanming’s arrival with her colleagues.

Not long after that, Su Yuanming entered the meeting room. After taking his seat, he glanced at Su Ziyue

suggestively before announcing with a strict expression on his face. “Before the meeting, I’d like to say something

unrelated to work.”

Noticing how Su Yuanming’s gaze was fixed upon her, Su Ziyue raised her head to look at him.

“As we’re approaching the end of the year, the company will be very busy with a lot of work to be done. Therefore,

if you don’t have anything important, please refrain from taking leave for the time being. If everyone keeps taking

a leave of absence, I’m afraid it will affect the company’s work progress.” As he finished, Su Yuanming turned to

look at Su Ziyue, his tone gentle and kind. “Don’t you think so too, Ziyue?”

Noticing Su Yuanming’s unusual behavior, the other colleagues lowered their heads simultaneously. Based on what

they had heard, several business agreements which were handled by Su Yuanming had been canceled.

It was completely normal for staff members to apply for leave during work, so it was unnecessary to talk about this

during a meeting. Thus, some colleagues felt like Su Yuanming was overreacting, whereas others thought that he

was being serious and trying to keep personal relationships out of work.

“Fine, I’m really sorry for applying for a two-day leave. After all, it’s my fault for getting into a car accident anyway.”

Su Ziyue sounded serious and earnest; she looked apologetic as though she was admitting to her mistakes in a

serious manner.

All of a sudden, Su Yuanming looked awful with a grim expression on his face, but Su Ziyue merely smiled at him.

He’s obviously looking for trouble by reprimanding me right in front of everyone. I just applied for a two-day leave;

what’s the big deal anyway?

Su Ziyue remembered that Su Yuanming was a calm man who knew what he was doing. So, she was curious to

know what had happened these two days.

The atmosphere in the meeting room tensed up suddenly. As it became more awkward, Su Yuanming’s assistant

came in with some documents. Su Ziyue smirked as she said, “Vice President Su, don’t you think we should start

our meeting now? If the company’s work progress is affected because of me, I’ll be the greatest sinner of all time.”

The other colleagues sitting at the table simply kept their nose out of this business, pretending like they didn’t hear

or see anything. There used to be rumors going around the company that Miss Yige and Miss Ziyue don’t get along

very well—it turns out that the rumors are true after all. If the rumors aren’t true, why is Su Yuanming, as Miss

Ziyue’s uncle, bringing up the petty matter of applying a two-day leave in a meeting to bother her?

Su Yuanming knew he was upset because all the business deals he had been handling recently all failed miserably.

However, the consecutive failures frustrated and annoyed him so much that he felt like someone was messing with

him. Not just that, he felt the one who was messing with him was none other than Su Ziyue. After all, she was the

one who told him before that no one would always be so fortunate and got whatever they wished for.

However, after thinking about it over and over again, he realized that something was off. She doesn’t even seem to

have such capabilities to do something like that. Even though he knew she wasn’t capable of doing such things, he

couldn’t help messing with Su Ziyue.

…

The meeting which ensued after that was very serious and solemn. The company was usually very busy during the

end of the year, and all the staff members needed to deal with lots of work during this time of the year. They still

had one last month to work harder and improve their respective sales performances. Since it concerned

everyone’s year-end bonus, everyone paid immense attention to it.

Su Ziyue paid close attention and listened very carefully to the details during the meeting too. She would voice out

her opinions from time to time while jotting down important details. By the time the meeting was over, an hour had

passed.

Just as she was walking back to her office, An Xia came in with a cup of coffee. An Xia placed the coffee in front of

her and asked. “Vice President Su didn’t bother you, did he?”

“No.” In her own opinion, those tricks played by Su Yuanming during the meeting earlier didn’t bother her at all.

Rather, those things he did during the press conference last time caused even more trouble to her than this.

“Really? He didn’t bother you at all?” An Xia looked at her curiously. “Perhaps you haven’t heard of it yet—he lost

several business deals for the past two days. According to the information leaked out from the secretary office, the

old Chairman was very angry with him. Therefore, the Vice President has been getting irritated easily for the past

two days. In short, everyone has been getting under his skin; he has also penalized several staff.”

“He did that?” Su Ziyue finally realized why Su Yuanming was behaving in such an odd manner. However, what was

odder than him was the business deals he lost for the past two days.

“As the future heir of Su Group, did he actually lose several business deals in Yunzhou City within two the last two

days?” Su Ziyue folded her arms in front of her chest as a look of contemplation flashed through her eyes.

An Xia shrugged her shoulders and speculated, “Who knows? Maybe it’s really that of a coincidence. Could it be

that someone thinks Vice President Su isn’t capable enough for the business?”

“That’s impossible.” Su Ziyue shook her head. “Grandpa personally taught Su Yuanming about entrepreneurship

since he was young. Even though he’s not naturally talented in this field, there’s no way he is as bad as he sounds.

Besides, if he didn’t have the capability, Grandpa wouldn’t have appointed him as the vice president of the

company.”

“Do you mean that…”

“Someone’s messing with him on purpose!”

“Perhaps Vice President Su offended someone?” An Xia bulged her eyes. She thought this was the most probable

reason. However, few in Yunzhou City actually had the courage to mess with Su Yuanming bluntly like that; after all,

messing with Su Yuanming meant going against the Su Group.

It was impossible that the other two families, the Gong Family and the Mu Family, would do something like that

either. For all these years, the three families had been in a harmonious pact, keeping an eye on each other and

ensuring that no one would overpower either of them.

After An Xia went out, Su Ziyue thought about the matter over and over again, thinking that the one who would

most probably do this was Qin Muchen. First of all, Qin Muchen is capable of doing such things. Second of all, he has

the motive to do so. However, why am I so sure that he did this to avenge me?

Su Ziyue bit her lips and pondered for a while; she would know about this if she just tried asking around.

Nonetheless, she was too embarrassed to ask in a straightforward manner. Even if he was the one who did this,

could it be because Su Yuanming had offended him before? After all, it was all about business anyway; it was fairly

normal to have everybody fighting against each other over business profits and offending someone in the process.

After thinking about this, Su Ziyue decided to find Su Youcheng.
