Chapter 108: You Really Didn't Like Me?
There are many ways to subdue a man.
Force is just one of them.
The Four Drugs of Jiangdu have encountered opponents stronger than themselves.
In fact, they've met many opponents much stronger than they are.
However, those opponents, without exception, all died at their hands.
Su Chen's strength might be greater than theirs.
But that doesn't mean they can't kill Su Chen.
Moreover, Dong Kuizi's strength among the Four Drugs is only slightly higher than Che Qianzi's, while Mu Huanzi's strength is far above Dong Kuizi's.
It's not a sure thing that he wouldn't be a match for Su Chen.
But to be on the safe side, they decided to wait until Fulingzi and Che Qianzi return to Jiangdu before making a move.
Fulingzi, although a subordinate of Red Auntie, has the strongest ability among them.
Even Mu Huanzi has rarely seen Fulingzi take action.
Every time Fulingzi makes a move, it ensures a kill.
Therefore, it's impossible to tell just how terrifying Fulingzi truly is.

She even speculates that Fulingzi's strength might surpass that of Red Auntie.
Of course, this is just a guess...
The next day, Su Chen got up an hour earlier than usual.
He had a very important matter to attend to today.
He made a call to Little White Flower, telling her not to pick him up, and then took a taxi to the shopping mall.
More than an hour later, Su Chen emerged from the mall, laden with big and small packages.
Fortunately, the last time the Northern Dragon King transferred 500,000 to him, after giving 300,000 to He Li, he still had 200,000 left.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have the money to buy these things.
What were these things for?
Naturally, they were gifts for others.
Although he was known for his glib tongue, he was no fool—no company would indulge an employee indefinitely.
This time he applied for leave, indefinitely at that, and it was very likely that he would be fired on the spot.
So, consider these parting gifts.
Of course, it would be best if he could stay.
By the time Su Chen arrived at the company, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
"Xiao Chen, why are you only getting here now?" Little White Flower quietly asked Su Chen.
"Oh, something came up last minute."
"Be careful then. Zheng Aojiao just noticed you weren't here and mentioned you."
Su Chen nodded.
He walked into the office.
Sure enough, Zheng Aojiao came over with a grim look on her face.
This Su Chen, just because he closed a deal, thinks he can disregard the company's rules?
And he's late again!
Even if the president himself shows up today, I'm still going to give Su Chen a good talking-to.
Zheng Aojiao strode over with her hands behind her back, her face grim; from even afar, one could feel the intense murderous aura.
The sales girls quieted down one by one, looking at Su Chen with eyes filled with sympathy.
Looks like today Su Chen is going to get chewed out again.
Indeed, as Zheng Aojiao approached Su Chen, she was about to burst into a tirade.
However, before Zheng Aojiao could speak, Su Chen handed a bag over to her and said, "Manager Zheng, this is for you."
Zheng Aojiao looked dumbfounded—what the hell is this situation?
Could it be that this kid has finally come to his senses, knowing he's going to be reprimanded and decided to bribe her in advance?
But Zheng Aojiao and Su Chen's enmity couldn't be resolved by simply giving a gift.
She snorted coldly and said, "Su Chen, do you think that by doing this I wouldn't blame you for being late?"
"Manager Zheng, I sincerely apologize for being late today and it won't happen again." He probably wouldn't be working at the company in the future, so naturally, he wouldn't be late again.
Zheng Aojiao became even more puzzled. What's gotten into this kid today? Has he changed his tune? Why is he speaking to her so politely?
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face. Since he had already brought a gift and directly apologized, it wasn't easy for Zheng Aojiao to lose her temper.
If she scolded Su Chen now, others would say that Zheng Aojiao was being petty.
She immediately said, "It's good that you recognize your mistake. Just make sure not to be late again."
After speaking, she took the bag from Su Chen's hand.
A sneak peek inside, oh my goodness, it was actually a Burberry cape worth several thousand yuan.
This kid, how did he suddenly become so generous?
Seeing that Su Chen had narrowly avoided disaster, Wang Yue also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Yue, this is for you." Su Chen then handed another bag to Wang Yue.
"I have a gift as well?" Wang Yue accepted it with a surprised look on her face.
It was a Saint Laurent scarf, which wasn't cheap either.
Then it was Yang Xuewei's turn; Su Chen picked out a bottle of perfume for her.
These three gifts were specially chosen by Su Chen, and the rest were just bought casually.
"Thank you, all my lovely ladies, for your care over this period. Everyone gets a gift." Su Chen started handing out the gifts.
Hearing that everyone had a gift, the entire office burst into cheers and excitement.
Zheng Aojiao received her gift as well and felt somewhat embarrassed to say anything, so she just coughed.
The crowd immediately lowered their voices.
After giving out the gifts, Su Chen too showed a smile.
Although his time working at Yimena wasn't actually long, he had enjoyed it.
Especially surrounded by so many girls, which was a delightful sight.
He really didn't want to leave this job, but there was no helping it, a husband's command is hard to ignore.
It would be tragic if Lin Xi really took a male colleague with her on a business trip.
"Sister Yue, are you leaving?" Wang Yue knew Su Chen the best and seemed to catch on to his intentions.
"No way, after all, securing such a big deal wasn't solely my effort; all the sisters here worked hard, so the gifts are to thank everyone." Su Chen didn't tell the whole truth.
Because he was also uncertain whether he could stay at the company.
Everything depended on what the female boss, whom he hadn't met, decided.
"Su Chen, you're such a smooth talker. If I didn't already have a boyfriend, I'd definitely be your girlfriend."
"Exactly, but I'm already married."
"Those who aren't married better hurry up, a good man like this isn't easy to find."
The sales ladies were all thrilled to receive the gifts.
"Right, Sister Yue, you have to be careful about meeting clients from now on, especially not drinking alcohol. Even if you do have to meet them, make sure to bring Sister Xuewei with you." Su Chen took the time to remind Wang Yue before leaving.
"Mhm." Wang Yue nodded her head.
It was then that Yang Xuewei too noticed something was off.
But since Su Chen intended to keep it a secret, it wasn't appropriate for her to say it out loud.
She simply followed Su Chen out of the office.
"Xuewei Sister, why are you following me?" Su Chen was somewhat surprised.
Yang Xuewei clenched her teeth and asked, "Are you leaving the company?"
"Not necessarily." Su Chen smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying, then headed toward Qin Keren's office.
"Su Chen." Yang Xuewei called out to him.
"Sister Xuewei, is there something else?" Su Chen turned around.
Yang Xuewei's expression changed several times, as if she wanted to ask something but found it difficult to say. Ah, Yang Xuewei, what's there to be shy about? After all, he's about to leave.
Finally, with a resolved bite of her teeth, she said, "Su Chen, did you really never like me?"
