Chapter 451: Chapter 489: Sooner or Later
Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine
Su Wan had thought a lot and prepared a lot before coming, but she had not expected that, in the end, none of it had been necessary.
Bai Susu was incredibly warm and understanding.
She was like a gentle big sister.
There was no test, nor any so-called interview; the three of them simply sat there and had a heart-to-heart talk. Bai Susu had not asked about any business-related matters at all.
In the end, Su Wan couldn’t restrain herself and said, “Sister Su, aren’t you going to test ? I have only been a departnt manager at Lily Hotel before; I have never been in a CEO position. I’m afraid I might not do well.”
Bai Susu smiled and responded, “Test what? You were brought by Xiaoshan; I trust you. As for never having been a CEO, that’s not a problem. I’m not going to leave the company imdiately. I’ll ntor you at first, let you gradually get familiar with the company’s business, and then eventually turn the company over to you completely.”
Su Wan was incredibly moved.
Usually, the CEO position in a company worth over ten billion would be fiercely contested, secured only after series of assessnts, like an army crossing a single-plank bridge to finally obtain the role.
Nowhere could it be as easy as it was for her.
But as relaxed as she felt, Su Wan was even more determined not to betray this trust.
She asserted, “Sister Su, give three months. If I am not competent within three months, I will leave on my own initiative.”
“It’s not that serious,” Bai Susu said with a slight smile.
Su Wan firmly shook her head, “It’s necessary. Just having this opportunity from you makes satisfied. I don’t want to let you down.”
Bai Susu’s eyes shone with a slight surprise. She hadn’t expected this beautiful girl to have such a strong character. Truth be told, when she first saw Su Wan, she was sowhat incredulous because the girl was a bit too beautiful, with too fine a figure and a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes that enchanted like a fox spirit. She always felt that Xiaoshan brought her with ulterior motives. However, she had always indulged Xiaoshan in whatever he did; even if he brought a re vase, she wouldn’t complain and would definitely keep Su Wan around. If it ca to it, she would manage the herbal dicine company’s affairs herself.
But Su Wan’s words really impressed Bai Susu. This was certainly not the words of a vase. A vase would not be so strong and independent.
Xiaoshan had been sitting for a long ti, having drunk several cups of tea.
He suggested, “Sister Su, Sister Wan, let’s not talk about work anymore. I just ca back today. Let’s rest well. I’ll call Taozi out, and we’ll go out to have so fun. After dinner, we can go to Kowloon Mountain for a hot spring bath.”
The thought of a hot spring made Bai Susu’s heart race as she imdiately rembered the heated scene in the hot spring pool last ti.
Her cheeks flushed as she stamred, “I, I better not go. It’s quite busy today.”
“One day of being busy won’t make a difference. Haven’t I said that you should balance work and rest? Although you’re healthy now, you can’t neglect rest. Money is inexhaustible anyway. Besides, I have a lot of gifts for you later,” Xiaoshan said dominantly as he walked over and pulled Bai Susu to her feet.
As for the intimacy between Xiaoshan and Bai Susu,
Su Wan had no doubts about it.
She now felt that Bai Susu, being such a beautiful and gentle big sister, deserved all the affection Xiaoshan could show. If she were more familiar with Bai Susu, she would have wanted to cuddle up in the arms of such a gentle big sister, so enticing was her tender charm.
Xiaoshan took Bai Susu’s hand and walked out.
Bai Susu was very embarrassed, especially in front of others.
But Long Xiaoshan held on without letting go.
As they walked, he explained, “Wan’er, Sister Su has androphobia, but I’m an exception. I can touch her, and right now, I’m treating her, so I have to make frequent physical contact with her to help her get used to it.”
“Androphobia?” Su Wan looked at Bai Susu in surprise.
Bai Susu’s face turned slightly red as she nodded and said, “Yes, I feel nauseous when I touch n, but Xiaoshan doesn’t give that feeling.”
“Sister Su, you actually have this condition?” Su Wan looked at Bai Susu with imnse sympathy. Such a tender and charming beauty, yet she had such a condition, unable to even touch n—that must be so empty, lonely, and cold.
She was only twenty-six years old and often felt especially lonely, especially when she woke up cold and alone in the middle of the night or when she had to endure an illness by herself. She truly wished for a man’s warm embrace. Sister Su was nearly forty and had to manage such a big company, all alone. That was just too pitiful.
She looked at Long Xiaoshan earnestly and said, “Xiaoshan, you must cure Sister Su.”
“Of course, I will. Look, I’m treating her right now, aren’t I?” Long Xiaoshan said with a smile, looking at Bai Susu.
Bai Susu, sensing Long Xiaoshan’s gaze, groaned inwardly.
No matter how she looked at it, it seed like a lamb entering a tiger’s den, never knowing when she might be devoured to the point where not even bones or dregs remained.
After the three of them went downstairs.
Long Xiaoshan made a phone call to Chun Tao, asking her to take a leave.
Then, driving Bai Susu’s BMW 5 Series, he took the two beauties to Hechuan Business College.
On the car ride, Su Wan asked, “Xiaoshan, Taozi is your girlfriend, isn’t she?”
Long Xiaoshan hesitated for a mont before replying, “Yeah.”
A shadow of disappointnt flashed through Su Wan’s eyes. Although she had always known that Long Xiaoshan must have a girlfriend, maybe even more than one, hearing him admit it out loud still brought a sour feeling to her heart.
Although she was only willing to admit that she was pretending to be Long Xiaoshan’s girlfriend, when she was at ho and his brother called him “brother-in-law” without hesitation, she wasn’t angry at all; instead, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
In Baixi Village, she could still deceive herself.
Now back in Hechuan City, she would soon see Long Xiaoshan’s girlfriend again, and Su Wan felt as if her dreams were shattering.
Suddenly, a warm, soft hand took hold of hers. Su Wan looked up to see Bai Susu beside her, her eyes filled with gentle comfort.
“Sister Su,” Su Wan’s sense of grievance surged, and her eyes reddened.
Bai Susu cradled Su Wan’s head and whispered, “Don’t cry. You are so beautiful and intelligent; don’t you know that n are particularly greedy creatures? Otherwise, why would those emperors from ancient tis have three palaces and six courtyards? So, don’t think too much about it, just let things take their course. The most important thing is to be happy. We’re not living for n. If he can make you happy, then don’t ponder too much. If he makes you unhappy, kick him out with a single foot.”
Looking pitiful, Su Wan said, “What if I can’t kick him away?”
Bai Susu glanced at Long Xiaoshan driving in front and gave a bitter smile. She knew all too well that the man in front was one who could make won both love and hate him, bad to the bone and yet sweet to the core. Looking at Su Wan’s pitiful state, she sighed inwardly, not knowing how to comfort her…
