Chapter 100: Chapter 100: The Beautiful Spokeswoman

At that moment, Lin Su’er was even more terrified. She had initially hoped that the other party had not recognized her, but now she realized that Chen Zixu had indeed recognized her. For a while, she didn’t know what to say.

Chen Zixu rubbed his hands together and said, "This... as soon as I saw you, I knew you were a kind-hearted person, so... could you do me a favor and plead with that man who was with you yesterday? I truly realize my mistake now, and I beg him not to hold it against me."

For Chen Zixu, speaking like this was quite extraordinary.

Lin Su’er’s eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Zixu, saying, "Are you asking me to... speak well of you?"

"Yes, yes! Here’s my business card. You can feel him out a bit and see what he wants, and maybe speak some good words for me... ahem, rest assured, if you help me settle this, I definitely won’t let you go unrewarded."

Lin Su’er finally realized that Chen Zixu was pleading with her. She immediately recalled the words Song Xiaodong had said yesterday and glanced subconsciously at the area between Chen Zixu’s legs.

For a man, having a beautiful woman look there should be quite enjoyable, but Chen Zixu only felt embarrassed and awkward. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Young lady, please, you mustn’t speak of this matter to others. Otherwise, I’d lose all face."

"Pfft!" Lin Su’er couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Then she lifted her chin and puffed out her chest, saying, "You had it coming for bullying us yesterday. You deserve it."

Doctor Cao was startled and quickly said, "Lin Su’er, what kind of attitude is this?"

Chen Zixu hurriedly said, "It’s alright, it’s alright. Lin Su’er, that’s your name, right? I’ve got it memorized. If you ever have a problem you can’t solve, just give me a call, and I, Chen Zixu, will handle it perfectly for you."

Lin Su’er blinked with a hint of pride and said, "Since you seem to be sincerely admitting your mistake, I won’t hold it against you. But I can only try my best. I’ll pass on the message for you, but as for how it will turn out in the end, I have no idea."

Chen Zixu ingratiatively said, "You’re with him, so you must be very close. Your words will definitely carry weight."

Chen Zixu’s flattery hit the spot. Lin Su’er felt rather pleased with herself and said, "Okay then, I’ll give it a try. But you can’t go around bullying people from now on; otherwise, I won’t speak favorably of you."

Chen Zixu hastily said, "I won’t, I won’t. From now on, I will mend my ways and become a better person."

Lin Su’er then said, "Alright then, wait for my call." After that, she walked away, swaying her slender waist.

Doctor Cao was utterly baffled, the corners of his mouth twitching as he said to Chen Zixu, "Young Master Chen, what kind of play are you putting on? You’re not going to tell me that you’re trying to pursue her, are you? Because... let me tell you... I’m quite interested in her, so it’s better if you don’t compete with me."

Chen Zixu turned to look at Doctor Cao and then grinned, saying, "I advise you to better not set your sights on her."

"Young Master Chen, that doesn’t seem very nice. You’re not lacking for beautiful women around you. I’ve finally taken a fancy to one, and you..."

"Get lost. I, Chen Zixu, wouldn’t compete with you for any woman. If I wanted women, I’d have a whole queue of them. But this beauty probably already belongs to someone, and that someone is not someone you can afford to provoke. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you end up suffering, I won’t be able to help you."

After saying that, Chen Zixu also turned and quickly walked away.

Doctor Cao was even more confused. From the way Chen Zixu spoke, it seemed like he was also afraid of someone. Who was so formidable that even Chen Zixu was afraid? In this city, there didn’t seem to be that many such people, right?

It seemed that Lin Su’er would know. Doctor Cao quickly walked after her.

"Nurse Lin, what exactly did Chen Zixu ask you to do for him just now?"

Lin Su’er had been rather intimidated by Cao Mingxian, after all, she was just an intern nurse, and Cao Mingxian was a doctor. A single word from him could very well determine her future.

But now even Chen Zixu was afraid of her, asking her to plead on his behalf. Suddenly, she felt her confidence surge. With a slight smile to Cao Mingxian, she said, "It’s just a little thing."

"A little thing? How capable Chen Zixu is, and he would ask you for help over a ’little thing’? Let me tell you, don’t be fooled by him. The girls around him change faster than a revolving lantern."

Lin Su’er pursed her lips and chuckled. "No, really, Doctor Cao, you shouldn’t worry about it, it’s just a little thing."

Cao Mingxian couldn’t extract any information from Lin Su’er and was even more puzzled. What exactly was the deal between Chen Zixu and Lin Su’er? They both seemed pretty abnormal today.

Lin Su’er slipped into the stairwell, avoiding others, and then she called Song Xiaodong.

"Brother Dongzi!" After having a meal together yesterday, Lin Su’er’s way of addressing Song Xiaodong had changed.

"Su’er, what’s up?" Song Xiaodong yawned.

Lin Su’er asked in surprise, "Brother Dongzi, you haven’t gotten up yet?"

"Yeah, I drank too much last night and slept in a bit today."

"Who told you to drink so much." Lin Su’er said somewhat coquettishly before quickly becoming excited, "Brother Dongzi, I just ran into Chen Zixu from yesterday."

"Oh, did he go to the hospital for a checkup? Hehe, he must have looked pretty miserable."

"Yes, yes, when I saw him, he looked so crestfallen, pfft, Brother Dongzi, you’re so mean, you actually made him... cough cough..." Lin Su’er was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.

"With people like him, if you don’t keep them in check, they will surely come back to trouble you."

"Yes, yes, that’s true, he wasn’t nearly as fierce as yesterday when he saw me today. He was so polite when he spoke to me and even begged me to plead with you, hoping you would let him off and treat his condition."

"Haha... well then, you should string him along and make him cough up a bit more."

Lin Su’er immediately replied, "I wouldn’t know how to do that, and besides, as a girl, discussing how to treat that kind of disease with him would be so embarrassing."

Song Xiaodong burst out laughing again, "Alright then, just tell him I haven’t calmed down yet, and he should hold on for now. I’ll consider it when I’m in a better mood one day."

Lin Su’er nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, mhm, okay."

Song Xiaodong laughed again, "And if he offers you any benefits, don’t be shy, just accept them."

"Is... is that okay?"

"What’s wrong with that? If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask him for it. Doubt he would dare refuse."

"Mhm!" Lin Su’er hesitated for a moment, but then agreed, feeling exceedingly sweet inside. Song Xiaodong’s words implied he was letting her speak on his behalf.
