273: Furious Su Yue

Lin Jia looked at the clearly angry Su Yue, feeling a bit panicked.

She explained cautiously, "Su, Su Yue... I didn't mean to hide it from you. They already promised me that as long as I agree to their demands, they will delete the photos."

Su Yue looked at Lin Jia with cold eyes, radiating anger.

"Then tell me, what demands did you agree to?"

Instantly, Lin Jia fell silent.

Seeing Lin Jia's silence, even though Su Yue didn't know what agreement they had reached, he knew it was definitely not a good one, and his expression became even uglier.

The look in his eyes as he watched Lin Jia was clearly disappointed: "Lin Jia, didn't I tell you that if you have any trouble, you must tell me?"

"Now, not only did you hide it from me and go to see Zhu Hua by yourself, but you also plan to hide it from me and agree to his terms? Is he the kind of person who will let you off just because you agreed to him?"

Lin Jia knew that Su Yue was very angry at this moment, and she had no reason to argue with what he said, so she could only lower her head in silence, lest she say more and make more mistakes.

However, precisely because she was unwilling to tell Su Yue anything, Su Yue felt that Lin Jia didn't consider him one of her own at all, and he felt even more disappointed in his heart.

He finally looked at Lin Jia seriously and asked with a cold face, "Lin Jia, are you sure you have nothing to tell me? I have given you a chance."

Lin Jia's heart sank, and she instantly knew that Su Yue was truly enraged this time. If she didn't handle it well, she might really infuriate Su Yue.

Old Sha, who had been feeling Su Yue's anger and dared not speak much to disturb him at this time, also realized the seriousness of the matter and desperately gave her a look from the side, urging her to confess everything to Su Yue.

Even Huang Mao, who was slow to react, knew that Su Yue was angry at this moment and quietly urged Lin Jia to explain everything clearly.

How could Lin Jia not know the seriousness of the situation? But she knew that if she really confessed everything, Su Yue would probably still be angry.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Jia finally chose to confess to Su Yue.

However, before speaking, she still wanted to get a guarantee from Su Yue: "Su Yue, I will tell you what this whole matter is about, but can you promise me not to get angry?"

Su Yue looked at Lin Jia expressionlessly and said irritably, "You've done something wrong now and you still want me to promise not to get angry? You yourself know that you went too far this time!"

Lin Jia trembled slightly in the face of Su Yue's anger. This was the first time he had gotten so angry in all the years she had known him. It was clear that Lin Jia hiding this matter from him had indeed angered Su Yue.

However, it was also true, just as Su Yue said, that Lin Jia wanted a promise from Su Yue not to get angry in advance because she knew that if she really told Su Yue what happened, Su Yue would definitely be angry with her.

She just didn't want to provoke Su Yue.

But now it seemed that whether Lin Jia spoke or not, Su Yue would be angry.

With a helpless sigh, Lin Jia, who had been struggling for a while, finally decided to tell Su Yue.

Otherwise, given Su Yue's angry state, even if she didn't tell him, Su Yue would definitely investigate it himself later. If that were the case, she would probably have truly infuriated Su Yue.

"Actually, Zhu Yuanyuan and Zhu Hua have been targeting me these past few days. Many clients are wary of the Zhu family and don't dare to place orders with me, just because they are afraid of offending their Zhu family."

Su Yue's face immediately darkened. Lin Jia cautiously glanced at him and continued.

"There were also rumors about me in the company, and the leaders believed those rumors, so they suspended me for a few days. That's why I've been leaving work earlier and earlier these past few days. In fact, I haven't been leaving work at all."

Seeing that Su Yue seemed about to lose control of his emotions, Lin Jia also proactively begged Su Yue for mercy.

"Sorry Su Yue, I really thought about telling you, but I also knew that you've been bothered by Zhu Hua these past few days. I was worried that you were already struggling enough dealing with Zhu Hua by yourself, so I didn't want to trouble you."

Su Yue glared at Lin Jia, extremely annoyed: "You're worried that I can't handle Zhu Hua, but can you handle him?"

Lin Jia subconsciously wanted to say that she could handle Zhu Hua, but Su Yue's words instantly blocked her.

"Don't tell me that fake talk about being able to handle Zhu Hua. If you could really handle Zhu Hua, what were you thinking today?"

"Agreeing to their demands, and then doing things you don't want to do, just so they'll let you go?"

Lin Jia was silent.

This was indeed her only option out of helplessness.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Jia would definitely not do this.

As soon as Su Yue saw Lin Jia's silence, he knew that she really had such a plan in mind, and he was truly not lightly angered by her.

He was extremely angry: "Lin Jia, we've been roommates for so many years, and you really don't trust me at all. You actually hid such an important matter from me from the very beginning."

"Have I or have I not told you these past few days that if you have any trouble, you must tell me, and I will help you solve it?"

Lin Jia had a look of worry on her face. She had actually seriously considered telling Su Yue about being harassed by Zhu Hua, but she had also heard about Su Yue being harassed by Zhu Hua.

Instantly, Lin Jia knew that she was dragging him down. In this situation, how could Lin Jia possibly trouble Su Yue with her own problems?

She had already troubled Su Yue enough.

As soon as Su Yue saw Lin Jia's silent appearance, he knew that she hadn't reflected at all, and he was instantly quite angered.

He gritted his teeth slightly: "Lin Jia!"

Old Sha and Huang Mao saw that the two had been talking for a long time, and not only did they not clear things up, but they also made Su Yue more and more angry. Since Lin Jia was now considered one of their own, the two naturally didn't want to see them quarrel.

Therefore, Old Sha and Huang Mao each pulled Su Yue to one side, comforting the enraged Su Yue.

"Director, Director, don't be angry. Actually, Lin Jia just didn't want to cause you trouble, Director. She's concerned about you."

Su Yue snorted coldly: "Heh, concerned? This is clearly her not trusting me!"

Huang Mao scratched his head and advised, "No, Director, just now when that fat pig was about to hit you, Sister Lin Jia still wanted to rush in front of you. She really is very concerned about you."

Su Yue was stunned for a moment, and the anger on his face visibly subsided quite a bit.

Old Sha gave Huang Mao a look of approval and continued to comfort the enraged Su Yue.

"Director, you know that none of us are as capable as you. When we encounter problems, we instinctively want to solve them ourselves first, and then trouble you, Director, with problems we can't solve."

"But luckily, you, Director, appeared in time this time, otherwise we really don't know what would have happened."

Lin Jia saw that Old Sha and Huang Mao were continuously speaking favorably for her and instantly knew that the two of them were helping her. She was also very grateful in her heart.

After all this commotion, Lin Jia's emotions had also calmed down quite a bit.

She also knew that she shouldn't make things too awkward with Su Yue, so she went along with their words and said what Su Yue really wanted to hear.

"I'm sorry Su Yue, I was indeed wrong about this matter. I should have told you the moment Zhu Hua started causing trouble. Otherwise, something like this wouldn't have happened today."

"Su Yue, I'm really sorry, I troubled you again today. But don't worry, I will definitely not make such a foolish mistake again in the future. I promise that if anything happens in the future, I will tell you immediately."

Seeing that Lin Jia finally realized her mistake, Su Yue's expression finally improved.

However, he still pointed out Lin Jia's problem with a cold face.

"You said it wrong."

Lin Jia was puzzled, somewhat not understanding where she had gone wrong again. She had already admitted that it was her fault for hiding this matter from him and promised not to make the same mistake in the future, so how could she still be wrong?

Su Yue looked at Lin Jia's puzzled face and was not as angry as he was at first.

After all, perhaps Lin Jia didn't choose to tell him this time because she didn't have a clear understanding of his capabilities. That's why she felt she didn't want to trouble him and didn't tell him about it.

If he were to be serious, he was actually also at fault in this matter.

Therefore, Su Yue's tone softened quite a bit: "You said it wrong. Your matters are not troublesome to me. I have never felt that helping you is a troublesome thing, so you shouldn't have hidden it from me."

The air instantly froze.

Lin Jia stood frozen stiff in place, her face unknowingly turning red.

Old Sha and Huang Mao exchanged silent glances, and finally seemed to realize that their presence was somewhat redundant, so they silently left directly.

Perhaps they shouldn't have gone home with the two of them from the start, otherwise, the two of them would definitely have cleared things up long ago!

Old Sha realized that the argument was so intense probably because of him and Huang Mao, so he decided to go to Su Yue's place less often in the future, otherwise, some misunderstanding might occur next time.

The two people involved didn't pay too much attention to Old Sha and Huang Mao's departure.

Su Yue just looked at Lin Jia calmly, silently telling her that what he said was true, that he really didn't think she was a bother.

Lin Jia's face grew redder and redder under Su Yue's gaze. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up from the sofa and left directly.

"I just worked up a sweat and want to go take a shower."

As she spoke, Lin Jia rushed back to her room.

Su Yue watched Lin Jia's back for a while before finally withdrawing his gaze.

Now that he had gotten angry, Lin Jia would definitely not hide anything from him anymore.

However, the matter with Lin Jia was over, but he would not let the culprit off so easily.

Originally, Su Yue was thinking of waiting for the intelligence system's information to come out before taking down Zhu Hua all at once.

Who knew that Zhu Hua not only bothered him but also went to bother Lin Jia and even caused Lin Jia to temporarily lose her job.

This point made Su Yue very angry, but just now he didn't dare to show it directly in front of Lin Jia, for fear of scaring her.

Since Zhu Hua had gone this far, Su Yue naturally wouldn't let him off so easily.

Thinking this, Su Yue walked out of the living room and went to the basement.

This was his intelligence base. The intelligence here would refresh every five days. There were still two days until the next round of intelligence updates.

During this time, Su Yue didn't plan to let Zhu Hua off easily. He contacted several wealthy businessmen who had previously sold them intelligence under the name of Abyss, asking them to 'have some fun' with Zhu Jiawang Company.

This Zhu Jiawang Company was a small company that Zhu Hua started after graduating. It wasn't large, but because it was backed by the Zhu family, there were still many companies that cooperated with them.

However, Su Yue had never lost in terms of connections. Since Zhu Hua liked to make people lose their jobs so much, he would also let him experience the pleasant experience of his own company facing bankruptcy.

Afterward, Su Yue found a few Hackers to see if they could find Zhu Hua's criminal record.

Seeing that he couldn't accurately retaliate against Zhu Hua because there was no specific intelligence, Su Yue was also very worried about this matter.

It seemed his intelligence base was still too small and too troublesome to use.

Moreover, he still didn't have enough manpower, making it difficult to do anything.

Fortunately, Su Yue currently had enough money. When he was short on people, he could spend money to hire someone to do things.

However, this was not a long-term solution after all. He still had to find more capable individuals to join Abyss as soon as possible.

Looking at the pile of folders in front of him, Su Yue fell into deep thought. Who would be more suitable to find?

Since Lin Jia had completely told Su Yue about her suspension, Lin Jia simply slacked off for the next few days.

She slept until late each day, then curled up on the sofa watching dramas and variety shows, and the day passed like that.

Looking at the clearly bored Lin Jia, Su Yue said with great certainty, "Lin Jia, don't worry, you will definitely be able to return to the company soon."

Lin Jia, however, wasn't as concerned about going to work as she used to be.

She shook her head, still smiling from being amused by the variety show: "It's fine, I think not working is pretty good now. These decadent days are really addictive, I even want to not work for the rest of my life."

Seeing this, Su Yue rather agreed: "Anyway, you've saved quite a bit of money over the years, right? If you don't want to work, then don't work. It's enough for the rest of your life anyway."

Lin Jia nodded: "I'll consider it. It's also possible that I might want to strike out on my own."

After this incident, Lin Jia understood that no matter how hard you work for a company, the company will only treat you as a tool.

When you, this tool, have a negative effect, no matter how much you contributed before, you become a burden to the company.

Why should someone like her still work herself to death for the company?

Su Yue nodded, agreeing with Lin Jia's view: "You do have the capability to strike out on your own. After all, your clients buy products because of you, so it's not that important where you stay."

Being able to get Su Yue's approval, Lin Jia was also very happy. She looked up and smiled heartily at Su Yue: "Right? I also think there's no need for me to stay stuck in one company."

Su Yue nodded.

The two didn't discuss this topic much further. After all, it was just Lin Jia's idea for now. She hadn't resigned yet, so she naturally wouldn't start a company easily.

The two were chatting idly when suddenly, there was a 'ding dong' sound.

Su Yue instantly picked up his phone and walked towards the basement.

Lin Jia had also been to his basement. Seeing him so anxious, she couldn't help but become curious and followed him.
