51: Chapter 51 An Unchangeable Fate
Lin Xiao looked the female employee up and down.
This style was not his type.
Although her eyes held a hint of seduction, they appeared more calculated.
Coming to find him at a time like this, it was eighty percent likely nothing good.
Just as he was about to refuse, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"Huh? She's hell-bent on hooking a Rich Second Generation, yet she's never been taken seriously and has always been played by others."
"She's had over twenty boyfriends and has had five abortions?"
"Seriously, she's still not giving up after all that?"
"This sister is really quite... resilient!"
The look in Lin Xiao's eyes as he gazed at the female employee kept changing.
The female employee was also a bit confused.
She had seen plenty of Rich Second Generation types. Whether they truly liked her or not, when they first saw her, there was more or less a desire to possess her in their eyes.
Yet, not only did she not see a trace of such emotion in Lin Xiao's eyes, but there was instead a strange... admiration?
Little did she know, Lin Xiao truly admired her—he admired her for having such a resilient body.
...
Lin Chuge was in the conference room. As she continued to arrange work, Lin Xiao's inner voice appeared in her mind.
She glanced toward the door and vaguely saw that figure lingering there.
"This guy, why is he standing so stubbornly at the door just because I told him to go out? Can't he go to the lounge nearby and get something to drink first?"
Lin Chuge had a splitting headache.
If she had known, she would have arranged for an assistant to take Lin Xiao far away.
After all, aside from herself and things that could affect the company, she was not interested in anything else.
It took a lot of effort to wait for Lin Xiao's inner voice to end before she could continue speaking faintly and resume the meeting.
But for some reason, outside, Lin Xiao was at it again—when it came to gossip, once there was one, there was a second.
"Oh my, I really couldn't tell, this sister is actually having an affair with their manager? But that manager is almost fifty, old enough to be her father!"
"Huh? How come there's someone taking a shortcut to latch onto a Rich Woman? Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's really not picky."
"Hey, this sister has had so much plastic surgery that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her, all just to marry into a wealthy family."
"Eh? So there are so many people who admire Big Sister. As expected of the most formidable female CEO, I'll wave the flag for Big Sister!"
"..."
Lin Chuge took a deep breath.
Listening to the noisy voice in her mind, she felt that this meeting really could not continue.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao had already identified all those spies at the beginning, so there wasn't anything major left.
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
Lin Chuge waved her hand casually, her other hand supporting her forehead.
The assistant thought she was feeling unwell and even stepped forward to ask a few concerned questions.
Lin Chuge indicated she was fine and stood up, intending to go drag that chatterbox at the door away.
Just as she reached the door, the phone in her bag suddenly rang.
This was her work phone, used only when her secretary and assistants reported work.
At this moment, all the assistants were by her side, so the only person who could be contacting her on this number was the secretary!
Thinking of Lin Xiao's earlier inner voice, Lin Chuge's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She quickly took out her phone, and indeed, it was a message from Secretary Luoluo.
"General Manager Lin, I apologize, I've been injured and may need to take leave tomorrow."
Lin Chuge looked at the message and immediately called her.
The person on the other end answered quickly, her voice sounding a bit weak.
"General Manager Lin, I'm at Jingcheng Hospital, it's nothing, just suffered a little..."
However, before she could finish, the call was disconnected.
Lin Chuge immediately told the assistants to go back and arrange the work, while she grabbed Lin Xiao from the doorway and headed toward the elevator.
"Hey? Big Sister, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiao was a bit confused.
"Secretary Luoluo was injured by falling objects, you're coming with me to the Hospital."
Lin Chuge explained briefly.
"Ah?"
Lin Xiao was also a bit puzzled.
He had indeed learned from the system before that the secretary would be struck by falling objects from a height, but he remembered the system saying it would be on the way home after working overtime.
It wasn't even four o'clock yet; how could that count as working overtime?
Could the system have made a mistake?
He was curious too, so he got into Lin Chuge's car and they sped all the way to Jingcheng Hospital.
Along the way, Lin Chuge's mind was also in chaos.
She knew Secretary Luoluo's character; it was impossible for her not to take her words seriously.
In other words, no matter how careful they were, Lin Xiao's inner voice would come true?
If that was the case, then the future of their Lin family...
Thinking of this, Lin Chuge couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
The two arrived at the Hospital, and after a little inquiry, they found the room where Secretary Luoluo was staying.
Lin Chuge didn't hesitate at all and pushed the door open to enter.
She was afraid of seeing Secretary Luoluo in critical condition, but she could not avoid facing it.
But after she entered, she discovered that Secretary Luoluo was sitting propped up in bed, holding a large cup of milk tea, leisurely sipping it...
"G-General Manager Lin? Why are you here?"
Secretary Luoluo was obviously confused too.
Lin Xiao even saw that two tapioca pearls were stuck in the milk tea straw, neither going up nor down.
It could not be swallowed, and it could not be spat out.
Lin Chuge looked Secretary Luoluo over carefully and saw that only her left shoulder was wrapped in gauze, with her arm in a sling around her neck.
Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly heard a curious voice from outside the ward.
"Eh? Isn't this Dr. Lin's younger brother!"
"Hey, it really is you, little brother, we meet again."
"..."
When Lin Xiao heard this voice, he immediately cursed internally.
A few days ago at the Hospital, he had been put in such an awkward situation that he had developed psychological trauma.
If not for wanting to confirm whether there was a problem with his system today, he definitely would not have stepped into this Hospital even once.
He had intended to leave as soon as he had checked, but he had not expected to be spotted anyway.
"Um, Big, Big Sister, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I won't stay here to keep you company, I, I'll be leaving now!"
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he covered his face and ran away without looking back.
Hearing the laughter behind him, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
After Lin Xiao left, Lin Chuge asked Secretary Luoluo about today's situation.
Upon mentioning this, Secretary Luoluo's eyes suddenly turned red.
"General Manager Lin, you are truly my savior. If not for your warning to watch out for falling objects from a height, I'm afraid I would have been crushed to death by now!"
