Chapter 255: Chapter 255: This is Just Too Much Bullying

Reflecting on those moments now, she was uncertain how much effort he had truly put into them and just how many so-called marriage proposals she had missed.

If she could do it all again, she would definitely take every question he posed seriously, accept every kiss he sought, and remember every word he said.

Su Wanxin snapped out of her memories, gulped down the milk in her cup in one breath, and went upstairs to try to sleep. Then, early in the morning, she had some bread and left for work.

Several days had passed since Chen Lei received the dismissal letter from the board.

At that time, Chen Lei said that the board asked him to deal with his current affairs immediately, and a new manager would arrive to take over next week.

Even with Su Wanxin’s verbal assurance, Chen Lei was still sitting in his position. But honestly, he felt insecure.

At 10:30 in the morning, two pieces of news caught Su Wanxin’s attention.

One was about a multinational cooperation project that Ding Family’s Kairun Group had previously arranged, which had collapsed despite the contracts being signed; now due to issues on Kairun’s side, the other party terminated the partnership and demanded full compensation for all losses.

The second piece of news was about the Shen Family’s ST Group.

As everyone knew, ST had been in the doldrums recently, with its stock price falling below the initial offering price after consecutive halts in trading.

The string of adverse news about ST never ceased, so no one believed that this desolate company would claw its way out of the mire.

But today, just moments ago, there were online rumors about Su’s Securities investing in ST and supporting it, which almost made Su Wanxin vomit the bread she ate in the morning.

As a result of this unexpected news, ST’s plunging stock did open a gap, but within just ten minutes, it fell back to the ground, motionless again.

Su Wanxin stared at the data lines on the computer, sensing something was off.

Just as she was about to scrutinize ST’s recent large transaction records, she suddenly heard a colleague behind her say—

"President Chen seems to have gotten into an argument."

"With whom?"

"I’m not sure, but I saw Alex go to his office just now."

...

Su Wanxin stiffened, slammed the desk, and quickly walked toward Chen Lei’s office amidst a sea of puzzled looks.

Alex?

He was the foreigner who had been doused by Su Wanxin, scammed seemedly by getting 160% returns from her, and subsequently took the opportunity to invest in the Su Family’s company.

As Su Wanxin walked, she speculated, and a bad premonition grew within her.

Upon reaching the outside of Chen Lei’s office, Su Wanxin knocked symbolically twice on the door and, without waiting for a response, pushed it open and entered.

Inside, Chen Lei and Alex stood face to face; behind Alex was a young woman who, if Su Wanxin wasn’t mistaken, was his secretary.

Chen Lei’s expression was grim, and he was breathing heavily, clearly agitated.

Seeing this scene, Su Wanxin could roughly guess what was happening.

At the sound of the door opening, everyone turned their heads simultaneously. Su Wanxin stepped in, closed the door behind her, her gaze lightly touching Alex’s face, she smiled faintly and said—

"Mr. Alex, long time no see."

"Long time no see," he smiled, nodding his head, and then added, "But from today on, we might be seeing each other every day. Starting today, I’ll be your boss."

"Are you sure?"

Su Wanxin raised an eyebrow, glanced at Chen Lei’s face, wondering if he was now full of regret.

The client he had worked so hard to please and woo, was now about to ride over his head and push him out.

Tsk, what a way to bully someone.
