Chapter 257: Chapter 257: As the heavens turn in cycles, who is spared by the vast sky?

The room was eerily quiet, the atmosphere congealed with the emergence of those words.

Su Wanxin looked at Alex with a smile, and for a moment, no one spoke.

The CEO of Su Family had never appeared in any public events since the company was founded. They had never showed up even in the annual shareholders’ meetings over the years.

If not for their mysterious whereabouts, the topic of Su Family wouldn’t have been discussed as widely.

Although there were numerous speculations about the company’s elusive founder, absolutely no one could have predicted the current situation.

"You..."

Alex was stunned for a long while before finally managing to speak.

How can you, an orphan with neither power nor influence, possibly be the CEO of Su Family?

He had intended to ask that question, having heard quite a bit of news about Su Wanxin recently, which only fueled his anger.

Thinking back to when Su Wanxin had promised to help him contact the CEO of Su Family to arrange a meeting, he felt a sense of humiliation and deception.

But when the words reached his lips, he found himself unable to utter them.

He gazed at the woman sitting in the office chair, fully aware of her strength.

Presently, she sat there with a serene smile, looking like a frail woman.

Yet the aura emanating from her very bones made her impossible to disregard.

She seemed to have always hidden her brilliance, and at this moment, she shed her disguise and unleashed her full presence.

Although she hadn’t presented any concrete evidence to prove her claim, just looking at her, one couldn’t harbor any more doubts.

Besides, who would dare question such a lie?

Whether she is an orphan or has any backing, with the title of "CEO of Su Family," she firmly stands at the apex of the financial food chain, looking down on all creatures.

"I..."

Seeing that he had only uttered a single word after such a long time, Su Wanxin was getting impatient.

"Telling you now, get lost."

The smile on her face gradually faded, and she confronted him with a cold gaze in her eyes.

"Every circle has its own rules of the game. Keep a tight grip on your shares and don’t let me catch you out. Otherwise, just as I could get you a contract with Su Family, I could also make you disappear from Su Family’s list of shareholders."

"What gives you the right?!"

"Probably, because I’m more formidable than you are."

Su Wanxin rose from her chair with a half-smile and tilted her head towards the door.

"The Su Family one-day tour ends here. Time to go."

Alex quietly gasped for breath, just as he had left Chen Lei infuriated earlier.

He tried hard to suppress his emotions, and after a moment’s gaze with Su Wanxin, he huffed coldly and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

Su Wanxin watched his retreating figure, struggled to hold back, but couldn’t help cursing, "Idiot."

She sighed and turned to look at Chen Lei, who had been silent for so long that his presence had almost faded.

Just as she was about to call "Brother Lei," she saw him step back several times and then pointed to the office chair, saying, "You sit!"

Su Wanxin was slightly startled and let out a light laugh.

"What’s the matter, acting as if I’ve got a contagious virus or something."

"I... You..."

Chen Lei stuttered for a long time, seemingly wanting to speak but at a loss for what to say.

His thoughts were in turmoil as he recalled Fu Shihan asking him why the company was called Su Family.

And remembering how Su Wanxin had once told him herself that she was the CEO of Su Family, to which he had replied "You’re nuts, fuck off!"

Now it seems indeed... what goes around comes around, and heaven spares no one.

The one who should be told "fuck off" has become himself.
