49: Chapter 49 This woman is terrifying

Hearing Su Ye's words, Section Chief Zhang didn't breathe a sigh of relief; instead, he became even more nervous. More cold sweat broke out, and his brain, now thirty percent clearer, began to spin wildly.

What did Su Ye mean by this? He had just lectured Su Ye outside; it was impossible for Su Ye not to be angry. Yet now, he was actually helping him out of a tight spot? When things are abnormal, there must be something sinister afoot.

Su Ye raised his glass and said, "Coincidentally, I actually ran into Section Chief Zhang at the entrance just now."

Hearing this, Section Chief Zhang's legs almost gave way. He certainly didn't want to be transferred to the archives to retire just because he stepped into the office with his right leg first tomorrow.

Yan Zheng laughed upon hearing Su Ye's words: "That is quite a coincidence. Section Chief Zhang only just went out to take a call a few minutes before you came in."

Su Ye nodded and smiled: "It is quite a coincidence. I also happened to run into two of my 'good' friends at the time. They also know Section Chief Zhang, and I was thinking that in the future, Section Chief Zhang could help me 'take good care' of them."

Section Chief Zhang understood instantly. He hurriedly bent over, lowered his glass to clink it with Su Ye's, and said, "Brother Su's friends are my friends. Rest assured, I will definitely 'take good care' of them."

Su Ye stared at Section Chief Zhang with a faint, inscrutable smile before downing the wine in his glass.

The moment he saw Section Chief Zhang, Su Ye had calculated in his mind. If he had exposed what happened earlier right then and there, Yan Zheng would certainly have stood up for him. But it wasn't a major issue to begin with, and he had already given Section Chief Zhang a hard time earlier; there was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Yan Zheng would have stood up for him, but the price would be losing a subordinate, and it would make others feel a sense of shared grief. After all, everyone present was Yan Zheng's direct subordinate. If Section Chief Zhang were to step down today over such a trivial matter, what about tomorrow? Would it be Director Li or Director Zhang?

So, it was completely unnecessary. On the contrary, by not mentioning it today, Section Chief Zhang would surely feel grateful and would hate Yue Ju and Li Yan to the core. It was likely that, let alone getting things done, the two of them would be dealt with by Section Chief Zhang. Never underestimate the influence of someone in a position of power; a Section Chief's connections were enough to cause a regular person severe losses.

The atmosphere at the scene remained lively, and the group drank until past eleven in the evening before dispersing.

When Su Ye, Yan Zheng, and the others walked out of the private room to leave, they saw Yue Ju and Li Yan standing in the hallway outside, their legs weak. Su Ye curled his lips into a smile, chuckled, and then paid them no further mind.

Li Yan looked as if she had seen a ghost when she saw Su Ye and Jiang Bai come out of the private room. Yue Ju, meanwhile, hurriedly ran over to Section Chief Zhang, who was walking behind, and asked in a low voice, "Section Chief Zhang, about that matter of mine, what do you think..."

Section Chief Zhang glanced at Li Yan on the side. The alcohol was going to his head, and he decided to deal with the two of them after tonight. "Hmm, this matter is a bit troublesome. I'll look into it again tomorrow. I'll discuss it further with Little Li in a bit."

Yue Ju dared not object in the slightest. After all, if Section Chief Zhang didn't help mediate this matter, it would likely be very difficult to resolve.

Half an hour later, as the designated driver parked Su Ye's car in a parking spot, Jiang Bai helped the slightly dizzy Su Ye out of the car and then settled the fee with the driver.

Jiang Bai looked at Su Ye with a touch of heartache: "I'll make you some hangover soup in a bit."

Su Ye took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Feeling a bit better, he steadied himself. Tonight, he had started with beer and then moved on to spirits. Even though his tolerance had increased significantly, he couldn't withstand so many people taking turns to toast him. One thing led to another, and he had drunk a bit too much. He hadn't felt it when leaving the private room, but after sitting in the car and getting hit by the wind, the alcohol started to go to his head.

"No need, you should head back first, I can manage on my own."

Jiang Bai stubbornly held onto Su Ye's arm without saying a word, pulling him toward the elevator.

"Hey, hey, hey, slow down, slow down, I'm going to fall."

Back at Su Ye's home, Jiang Bai pressed Su Ye onto the sofa, then ran to the bar, took two tomatoes and some eggs from the fridge, and started busying herself.

Su Ye leaned against the sofa, watching the busy figure in the kitchen. For some reason, he suddenly felt a tug at his heartstrings.

The clinking and clattering of pots and pans reached his ears. Su Ye felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and he gradually closed them, drifting off into a dream.

Although the morning sun didn't penetrate the thick curtains, some faint rays of light shone into the room through the gaps, bringing a little brightness and making the room less dark.

"Ugh!"

Su Ye sat up, feeling a bit dazed. He looked around and realized he was sleeping in bed. He was startled and quickly glanced to his side, letting out a long sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Bai was not there.

As for his clothes being stripped off, Su Ye didn't care; he wasn't the one losing out. He picked up the water glass on the nightstand, drank it in one gulp, and checked the time. It was past six in the morning, not yet seven. It had been about six hours since he fell asleep last night, and his body felt completely fine. Su Ye silently gave another mental thumbs-up to System Daddy's buff.

Wearing slippers, Su Ye walked straight into the bathroom to take a shower. After changing his clothes, he came to the living room and saw a note on the table. Curious, he picked it up, and elegant handwriting came into view:

"I've prepared breakfast for you too. It's in the fridge. Just put it in the steamer to heat it up and you can eat it, (*^__^*)."

"Hiss."

Su Ye gasped. She was trying to tie him down firmly. This woman was truly terrifying. He must not fall for it; this was a sugar-coated bullet wrapped in honey.

Twenty minutes later, Su Ye put down the warm milk in his hand and rubbed his stomach contentedly.

A sugar-coated bullet—well, he had eaten the sugar coating, and he could just save the bullet to shoot back later.

After playing on his phone at home for a while, Su Ye realized it was about time. He gathered his scattered belongings and headed toward the parking lot; after all, he still had to inspect the situation at the various branch companies today.

Half an hour later, Su Ye arrived at the entrance of the Future Drone branch company and parked the car steadily.

Seeing Su Ye's car come to a stop, Zhang Hua and General Manager Fang Zheng hurriedly got out of an Audi Q7 parked nearby.

"Chairman Su."

Su Ye nodded and led the two of them straight toward the office building.

Compared to the Future Group, which leased an entire floor of over two thousand, nearly three thousand square meters of office space, Future Drone was much smaller in both location and size, with less than a thousand square meters, sharing the floor with two other companies.

It was already five minutes past nine in the morning. According to company regulations, it should be working hours now. Su Ye led the two of them directly into the office area. The employees under Su Ye didn't recognize him, but they recognized Zhang Hua and General Manager Fang Zheng. They quickly turned to notify their superiors that the big bosses had arrived.

Several executives hurriedly walked out of their offices. Leading them was a middle-aged man in his late thirties wearing a black suit:

"Chairman Su, Chairman Zhang, General Manager Fang Zheng."

"We welcome you to Future Drone."

Su Ye looked at the person in front of him and had no impression of him at all. It was clearly not one of the executives he had met yesterday.

"Are you the General Manager of Future Drone?"
