"Assistant Lin, I happen to need to speak with you."

Looking at the taller and more handsome man in front of him, Wei Dan said with a forced smile, "These are the client information for this afternoon, as well as project reports from the past few years."

"Could you please organize all of this and make a PowerPoint presentation? We'll need it for the meeting this afternoon."

Lin Li glanced at the documents in his arms, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Organizing documents? Isn't that a secretary's job?"

"Assistant Lin is mistaken about that."

Wei Dan, adopting a very professional demeanor, arrogantly said, "We're all serving Chairman Su, so why distinguish between us?"

"Besides, I have more important things to deal with right now. You're the special assistant, so of course you should do these small things."

Lin Li is nothing but a pretty boy who rose to power by brute force. Apart from being good-looking, he is of no use at all.

"I'm busy."

Lin Li shoved the documents back into Wei Dan's arms, almost knocking him over.

"you……"

Wei Dan hurriedly clutched the documents, never expecting Lin Li to dare refuse!

"I'm only responsible for Su Qian's safety, not for doing odd jobs."

Lin Li gave him a cold look. "Do this yourself. If you can't finish, work overtime. Don't bother me."

After saying that, he lost interest in looking for Su Qian and turned to walk towards the elevator.

"You! You stop right there!"

Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Wei Dan immediately shouted angrily, "Lin Li! You're skipping work! I'm going to tell Chairman Su!"

Lin Li was speechless. Without turning his head, he went straight into the elevator.

Wei Dan gritted her teeth in anger, her face full of resentment as she whispered, "You, Lin Li, you're really going to get what's coming to you! You think you can do whatever you want just because Chairman Su spoils you? Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

He put the documents back, straightened his clothes, picked up a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and knocked on the chairman's office door.

"Enter."

Wei Dan pushed open the door and gently placed the coffee on Su Qian's table.

"Mr. Su, your coffee."

"Thanks."

Su Qian looked at the documents without looking up.

She just fired some high-ranking officials, and now all the work is piling up on her shoulders; she's too busy to keep up.

Seeing Su Qian like this, Wei Dan could only stand aside, sighing as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Su Qian noticed his unusual behavior and looked up to ask, "If there's anything important, just say it."

"Chairman Su...it's nothing really serious, it's just..."

Wei Dan looked troubled and pretended to hesitate before saying, "It's Assistant Lin. I just wanted him to help me organize the materials for this afternoon's meeting."

"He just threw the documents at me, saying he was too busy, and that he was only responsible for my safety and wouldn't do such menial work."

While observing Su Qian's expression, he added fuel to the fire: "He even left directly, saying that you couldn't control him."

"Chairman Su, I know that Assistant Lin is your friend, but his disregard for company rules, his unauthorized absence from work, and his public confrontation with colleagues... If this gets out, other employees will have something to say."

Su Qian put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, and stared coldly at Wei Dan with her beautiful eyes.

Wei Dan felt uneasy under her gaze, and his smile became somewhat stiff: "Chairman Su...?"

"Weidan, do you think I have a lot of free time?"

Su Qian suddenly spoke, showing no patience left to listen.

"Huh? No, no..."

"If you don't think I'm idle, why are you bothering me with such trivial matters?"

Su Qian's voice turned cold as she stared at Wei Dan and said, "Lin Li's departure from the company was approved by me. I also personally determined his job duties."

"He was only responsible for my safety, not for assisting you!"

"But……"

"No buts."

Su Qian interrupted Wei Dan directly, saying bluntly, "You are my secretary, and organizing data is your job."

"You can't finish your own work, so you try to pass it on to someone else, and when they refuse, you come to me to complain?"

She stood up, her powerful aura making Wei Dan feel a little breathless.

"Wei Dan, I think you're just too idle, which is why you spend all day watching your colleagues' every move. If you put that energy into your work, you wouldn't need to ask someone for help even with a simple PPT presentation."

"If you find this job too tiring or unfair, you can write your resignation letter now, and I'll approve it immediately. There are plenty of people in the company who would love to take your place!"

Wei Dan's face turned pale instantly, and sweat poured down his back.

He never expected Su Qian to be so protective of Lin Li, even willing to fire him for Lin Li's sake!

"Chairman Su! I was wrong!"

Wei Dan quickly bowed and apologized, her voice trembling slightly: "I...I'll go and organize the data right away! I'll never dare to do it again!"

He paid such a high price to climb to this position, how could he possibly give it up so easily!

"go out."

Su Qian looked disgusted. The company was already busy right now, and these people weren't thinking about working diligently, but instead were thinking about all sorts of nonsense!

Wei Dan dared not say anything more and quickly left the office.

As soon as he rushed into the men's restroom, the fear on his face vanished instantly, and his entire face became contorted.

"You filthy bitch! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for!"

Wei Dan spat fiercely at herself in the mirror, grinding her teeth, "Trying this against me for a pretty boy! Let's see how long you two can keep up your arrogance!"

"One day, I'll make you all kneel down and beg me!"

……

Just as Lin Li stepped out of the door of Chujian Culture, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

It was an unfamiliar number.

"Feed?"

"Lin Li, right?"

A voice, altered by a voice changer, came from the other end of the phone, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female: "Bai Nian'an is in my hands."

Lin Li paused, frowning, and asked, "Who are you?"

Who I am is not important.

The voice chuckled eerily, "The important thing is, if you want her to live, come to room 2602 of the Baijiang Hotel right now."

"Remember, come alone. If I see any police or anyone else, I'll slit this beautiful doctor's throat!"

Lin Li stared at the disconnected phone, about to say "crazy," when he received a multimedia message—a photo.

In the photo, Bai Nian'an is tied to a chair with a rag stuffed in her mouth, and she appears to be unconscious.

Lin Li stared at his phone screen, genuinely puzzled.

Bai Nian'an was kidnapped, so why would the kidnappers be looking for him? He and Bai Nian'an had only met once, so there was no way they could have linked him to this.

Could it be another remnant of the Wang family?

Lin Li initially didn't want to get involved, after all, he wasn't exactly a saint.

But then she thought, Bai Nian'an is, after all, the doctor who treated Su Jian. If something really happened to her, Su Qian would definitely care.

"trouble."

Lin Li sighed and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

"Baijiang Hotel...looks like I'll have to stretch my muscles again today."
