Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

It's 3 a.m., the time when a person feels most exhausted.

But Su Chen still hasn't fallen asleep.

Zhang Shu, on the other hand, is already soundly asleep.

Her physical strength is quite good, at least much stronger than that of the average thirty-something woman.

But Su Chen is not an ordinary man; after a bout of activity, he nearly drained all her energy.

Su Chen sat by the window, lit a cigarette, and started to puff away contentedly.

Women like Zhang Shu are a rare find.

She's got the looks, the figure, and what's key, she's a Deputy Mayor.

Conquering such a woman is an absolute triumph.

Of course, Su Chen isn't staying up because he's still interested in Zhang Shu.

Rather, he has a vague feeling that tonight's events are not yet over.

He couldn't explain why he felt this way, but the feeling was there nonetheless.

Thousand Hand Buddha doesn't rank too high on the world's list of assassins, but his bounty is still in the tens of millions.

Since they've already spent so much, they certainly won't give up so easily.

It's quite possible they'll send even stronger assassins.

However, no assassins appeared until daybreak; it seemed he had worried needlessly.

Zhang Shu opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Su Chen sitting by the bed, a sweet look appearing in her eyes.

The greatest happiness in life is to open your eyes every morning and see the one you love first thing.

Although Zhang Shu knew that Su Chen couldn't stay with her every night, it was already enough.

Su Chen dropped Zhang Shu off at her workplace before hailing a cab and taking off.

Once she was at the office, Zhang Shu was safe.

The other party might be audacious, but they would likely not dare to make a move there; after all, that represents the officialness of Huaxia. Any power would have to weigh the consequences.

Half an hour later, Su Chen arrived at the sales department, undoubtedly late again.

"Little Chen, why are you late again!" Wang Yue poked Su Chen's arm with her finger and asked in a low voice.

"Uh, overslept..." Naturally, Su Chen couldn't possibly tell the pure Wang Yue about his diligent labor at Zhang Shu's house last night.

A look of resignation flashed across Wang Yue's face as she said, "Alright, I just told the manager you were here and went to the bathroom. If the manager asks you, you mustn't slip up."

"Sister Yue, you're so good to me, I'm so touched, mwa!"

"You're asking for it!" Wang Yue stretched out her hand as if to slap Su Chen.

Note: Check M_VLEMPY_R for any corrections.

But then, the rascal planted a kiss right in the palm of Wang Yue's smooth, white hand, and said, with a look of ecstasy on his face, "Sister Yue, your hand smells so nice."

Causing the pure flower to blush bashfully.

"Big bad Chen, I'm ignoring you!"

Seeing Wang Yue seemed annoyed, Su Chen was about to coax her, but at that moment Qin Keren and Zheng Aojiao both walked into the office.

Su Chen knew that when Qin Keren entered the sales department office, it meant another meeting was about to happen.

Sure enough, Qin Keren's first words were, "Let's have a meeting now."

Meetings and whatnot, Su Chen had little interest in them.

However, Qin Keren and Zheng Aojiao were standing at the doorway; even if he wanted to escape using the "pee dash" method, it was impossible.

Fortunately, he was well-prepared!

Huaxia slowly took out two earplugs from the drawer and put them into his ears.

"Director Qin, you go ahead and have your meeting, I'm going to take a nap."

A few minutes later, the entire sales department fell silent, and the atmosphere became very oppressive.

Each saleswoman wore heavy worry on her face.

"Director, this matter is too implicated, and you know the personality of Director Lin. If he finds out, I'm afraid our entire sales department will suffer. It doesn't matter if I, Zheng Aojiao, lose my job, but there are so many sisters here who need to eat..."

"Then Manager Zheng, in your opinion, what should we do?" Qin Keren also sensed the seriousness of the situation.

Once the president investigates the matter, she too would have to bear joint responsibility.

"I think, for the sake of the overall situation, someone should step forward to take all the responsibility. This way, although that person will inevitably face dismissal, it's better than all of us being laid off collectively, right?" Zheng Aojiao said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Keren hesitated but eventually nodded, saying, "We don't have any other choice right now."

Her gaze swept over everyone as she said, "I believe everyone is very clear about the situation already. This incident is not the responsibility of a single person; we are all responsible. Once the president starts investigating, not one of us will be able to escape the company's punishment. However, if any of you are willing to take on this responsibility voluntarily, I, on behalf of the entire sales department, will thank you."

Minutes passed, but no one stepped forward.

To step forward meant losing one's job, and no one was that foolish.

Seeing no one willing to take responsibility, Zheng Aojiao frowned and said, "Since nobody is willing to step forward, I propose we select from among those who have been in the company for the shortest time. After all, you've been in the company for a short time, and you don't have many clients. Even if you leave the company, the loss to both the company and yourselves won't be too great."

After Zheng Aojiao finished speaking, many saleswomen let out a soft sigh of relief.

Selecting from the employees with the shortest tenure meant considering only three people.

One was Su Chen, one was Wang Yue, and the other was an intern who had just joined the company.

An intern definitely couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility; the president wouldn't believe it.

That left only Su Chen and Wang Yue.

"I think it would be most appropriate for Su Chen to take responsibility for this," Zheng Aojiao said, glancing inconspicuously at Su Chen.

He was asleep; how could she not know?

But she deliberately didn't wake Su Chen, so she could push him forward in the end to be the scapegoat.

At this moment, Qin Keren finally noticed Su Chen, who was asleep.

Her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This guy, he really doesn't take her, the director, seriously.

Was her speech that boring?

Honestly, Qin Keren wanted to let the guy bear the brunt of this disaster.

Would the president still cover for him?

"But I seem to remember that Su Chen wasn't in the company when this happened," Qin Keren said with a frown.

Zheng Aojiao was startled to hear this.

Yes, Su Chen was on leave. It really wouldn't be proper to make him carry this burden.

Since Su Chen was not suitable, then there was only one other person.

In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue shuddered instantly.

In fact, as soon as Zheng Aojiao mentioned selecting from the shortest-tenured employees, she knew she was most likely to be the one sacrificed.

She had even started to psychologically prepare herself.

But when the moment truly arrived, she still felt very reluctant.

She liked this job so much; she didn't know how much effort she had put into it, to the point that she even secretly practiced drinking alcohol when she got home at night.

She would drink until drunk, throw up, and then drink again...
