Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

Lin Xuan walked out shirtless, wearing only a pair of athletic shorts, holding Zhao Xueli, whose clothes were disheveled and whose face was flushed.

Zhao Xueli leaned limply against her chest, her hair slightly damp and her cheeks flushed.

"Ah, Yao Yao?"

Zhao Xueli was surprised to find someone in the living room. She instinctively gasped and buried her face in Lin Xuan's chest, too ashamed to face anyone.

Tong Yao was also shocked.

But what shocked her was not the couple's intimacy in broad daylight.

Instead...

That man really was Lin Xuan?!

He was with himself at the hotel just last night...

Are you going to be up until the wee hours of the morning?

How long has it been...?

And this will take at least another hour or two, right?

Is his body made of iron? Or did he take some kind of magic pill?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, her face flushed unconsciously.

"Quick... let's go back inside!"

Zhao Xueli patted Lin Xuan's chest and spoke softly.

Lin Xuan nodded, carried her back to the bedroom, and then came out himself.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"My best friend's house is my house. I was just about to ask you something. You...you should go put on some clothes first!" Tong Yao looked at him shirtless and felt like something was off about him.

"Tch, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Lin Xuan glared at her, then turned and went upstairs.

"You scoundrel, all you do is bully Sister Shirley!" Tong Yao spat at him and hurriedly ran into Zhao Shirley's bedroom.

Inside, Zhao Xueli, exhausted, was changing her clothes.

"Sister Shirley!"

Tong Yao jumped in and shouted loudly.

"You brat!"

Zhao Xueli was startled and glared at her.

"Sister Shirley, you're so naughty, doing this in broad daylight..."

Tong Yao reached out and touched Zhao Xueli's buttocks, speaking in a cheeky tone.

"Hey, what are you saying! I don't understand!"

Zhao Xueli gently patted her and quickly changed her clothes.

"Hehe, our Shirley is finally getting some pampering! Look at her face, she's completely different lately, so delicate and pretty, no one would believe she's eighteen!"

"Don't talk nonsense. By the way, what's this?"

"I'll stay for a few days. I don't want to see that beast Chen Chuang again."

"Sigh, try to take it easy..." Zhao Xueli sighed, patted Tong Yao's head, and looked at her with concern.

"Men are all the same! I've come to terms with it, and from now on I'll live with Sister Shirley!" Tong Yao nodded and obediently shook her head.

noon.

Zhao Xueli made a few simple home-style dishes.

The atmosphere at the table was somewhat awkward. Tong Yao ate her meal while her eyes kept darting back and forth between Lin Xuan and Zhao Xueli.

Zhao Xueli's cheeks were slightly flushed as she focused on serving food to the two of them.

After dinner, the two changed into smart formal attire, picked up their bags, and went out hand in hand.

Seeing their aggressive demeanor, Lin Xuan knew it must be related to Chen Chuang's matter.

Watching them leave, Lin Xuan sighed and returned to his room.

He sat at his desk, spreading out paper and pen.

He frowned as he stared at the blank A4 paper.

Self-criticism.

How exactly should this be written?

Or it's about personal life...

He'd rather spend the whole day sweating it out at the gym.

I don't want to keep this weird stuff bottled up here.

After racking my brains for more than half an hour, all that was written on the paper was the word "self-criticism".

Finally, in frustration, he threw down his pen and lay down on the bed.

"Never mind...we'll talk about it tonight."

That evening, Zhao Xueli sent a message saying that the two of them would be busy until very late. Lin Xuan confirmed that there were no problems between them, so he didn't ask any more questions.

As for the self-criticism...we'll talk about that later.

.

on Monday.

Lin Xuan arrived at the company on time.

I had just sat down at my workstation and hadn't even had a chance to turn on my computer when my phone started vibrating incessantly.

It was Wang Junjie who sent the messages, seven or eight in a row.

"Brother Lin!!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Breaking news! That bastard Chen Chuang seems to have been framed! And I heard he might be fired!"

"Rumor has it he's had a major falling out with his family and didn't come to work today!"

Lin Xuan remained calm upon seeing the news.

He was probably the first person to know this news!

"besides!"

"What's even more explosive is!"

"Do you know who should temporarily fill in as department manager?"

You'd never guess!

Acting department manager?

"Whatever, I don't care anyway," Lin Xuan thought, about to throw his phone away when another message popped up.

"It's your ex-girlfriend!!!"

"Su Qing!"

"My God, what does this even mean? It's making my cerebellum shrink! What's going on here?"

"Your ex-girlfriend was taken by Chen Chuang... how come she's now in his place?"

"The third marketing department is in complete chaos!"

I watched as messages kept popping up one after another.

Lin Xuan was taken aback.

Su Qing?

She's only been with the company for a few days?

She hasn't even passed her probation period yet. Even if Chen Chuang falls from grace, it's not her turn in eight lifetimes.

Even a fool could tell there's something wrong here.

As Lin Xuan was thinking, Su Yurou walked into the office in her high heels.

Today she wore a dark blue suit skirt, with exquisite makeup, and a pair of black stockings that perfectly outlined her leg lines.

Lin Xuan got up and followed her into her office.

"Sister Su, there's something I need to tell you."

Lin Xuan closed the door and spoke directly.

"Is Su Qing temporarily acting as the department manager for the Third Marketing Department?"

Su Yurou paused, her hand still on the computer screen. "Su Qing? Which Su Qing?"

"Just before..."

"Your ex-girlfriend?" Su Qing suddenly remembered, and a look of obvious surprise appeared on her face.

"Didn't she just start working? Who made that decision?"

As she spoke, she picked up the internal phone and called the human resources department.

After asking a few questions, she looked somewhat surprised.

hang up the phone.

Su Yurou looked at Lin Xuan: "This matter was directly appointed by the board of directors, through a special approval process."

"Board of Directors?"

"Someone from above must have put in a good word. I reckon Mr. An only found out recently. What's your ex-girlfriend's background?"

Su Yurou was also somewhat surprised.

Lin Xuan shook his head.

background?

Probably not, otherwise she wouldn't have gone after a pig like Chen Chuang.

"Please wait on this matter. I'll investigate it later. By the way, please inform everyone that there will be a morning meeting in ten minutes. Everyone from the First Marketing Department, please attend."

Su Yurou waved her hand, not paying much attention to such a trivial matter.

"good!"

Lin Xuan nodded and turned to leave.

Upon reaching the common area, Lin Xuan raised his voice: "Everyone, there will be a morning meeting in the conference room in ten minutes. Manager Su has something important to announce, so please get ready."

Colleagues responded in unison, grabbing notebooks and pens and heading towards the meeting room.

A man in his thirties walked over.

Wang Hao is a veteran in the First Marketing Department.

"Xiao Lin, young man, it's good to be adventurous and hardworking, but you also need to be down-to-earth and follow the right path, don't you think?"
