Chapter 323: Du Hanshuang is Back Again!
"Alright, you guys think about what you really want to do, don't worry about money today, tonight the cost is all on me!"
Su Chen slapped his chest confidently and declared generously.
The moment the female colleagues heard this, they immediately erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.
Following that, the ladies eagerly discussed what to do that night, after all, they had Su Chen's wallet with them!
Moreover, they didn't have any intention of saving money for him, joking aside, with a super-rich girlfriend like Lin Ruoxue, was money really a concern?
But poverty limited their imagination; after all, they were part of the working class, with some earning just a few thousand yuan and others, at most, tens of thousands.
They thought for a while, and aside from dining and singing, they couldn't come up with any other high-end entertainment activities.
While they were in the midst of an animated discussion, a few men sat quietly, not offering any suggestions.
It's not that they didn't have any opinions, but really, what use would those be?
They were quite clear about their roles, just there to make up the numbers...
People say it takes three women to create a drama, so with so many women in the PR department, just imagine how many dramas that would be!
After listening for a while, Su Chen felt a headache coming on and simply went out for a smoke, leaving them to their discussion.
As Su Chen leaned against the railing smoking, he glanced casually downward and happened to see a car stopping in front of the Belle Building plaza.
Then a pair of white sneakers emerged from the car, followed by a stretch of snowy long legs, and above the legs, a short skirt.
However, as soon as Su Chen saw who the legs belonged to, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Oh no, why is this lady here again?"
Su Chen bent over and scooted back to the PR department with hurried steps.
The female colleagues, engrossed in their discussion, were surprised to see him act this way.
"I'll be out for a bit, if someone comes looking for me, just say I'm not here, okay?"
Su Chen instructed, then continued to run towards the men's restroom while still hunched over. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire
The women watched his panicked behavior in disbelief.
Who could it be that scared the department head like this?
What Su Chen didn't know was that Du Hanshuang had already seen him leaning against the railing and smoking when she was in the car.
Du Hanshuang directly took the elevator upstairs and then came to the PR department.
In fact, Du Hanshuang had already looked for him in the security department yesterday; Meng Shan told her that Su Chen had been promoted to PR department head and was not in the group that day, so she left.
"Where is Su Chen?"
Du Hanshuang asked the women inside.
Upon hearing the voice, all the women looked at Du Hanshuang in unison, inwardly marvelling at the minister's foresight—indeed, someone had come looking for him.
Wait, why does this woman look so familiar? Where have they seen her before?
"Eh, aren't you the girl that came looking for Su Chen last time?"
Ran Ting suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pointed at Du Hanshuang, finally remembering who she was.
With Ran Ting's prompt, everyone else also remembered; after all, they had gone to watch the spectacle at that time!
Now everyone finally understood why the minister had fled; so he was dodging a romantic debt!
Looking at Du Hanshuang again, everyone's eyes became somewhat peculiar, scrutinizing her from head to toe and making Du Hanshuang feel very uncomfortable, like she was a giant panda on display.
"Where is Su Chen?"
Du Hanshuang asked again, her tone icy.
"Young lady, what do you want with Su Chen?"
Zhao Lin asked with a smile from the side.
"What's it to you?"
Hanshuang really hated being treated like a child, so her tone was quite impolite.
"Oh, got quite a temper there!"
Ran Ting also started laughing.
"All you have to do is tell me where Su Chen is," Hanshuang spat out.
"We don't know either, as a minister, he doesn't tell us his whereabouts."
Ran Ting said with a smile.
Not to mention their decent relationship with Su Chen, even out of respect for President Lin, they couldn't spill the beans—this girl could very well be President Lin's rival in love!
In their eyes, they had almost confirmed that this girl's relationship with Su Chen was definitely out of the ordinary!
If Su Chen knew what these women were thinking, he would certainly feel wronged and say, "Am I the kind of person who would crush a budding flower?"
"Hmph, if you don't tell me, I'll find him myself!"
Hanshuang huffed, not believing that with her Special Security Bureau skills, she wouldn't be able to find a person.
After saying that, Hanshuang turned around and walked away while the women in the public relations department shook their heads and went back to discussing their happy plans for the evening...
Afterward, Hanshuang began wandering around that floor. When she came to the door of a men's restroom, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Su Chen, come out!"
Hanshuang yelled into the room, but there was no response.
"Su Chen, I'm giving you one minute, if you don't come out, I'm going in!"
No sooner had Hanshuang's voice faded, several men hurriedly came out from inside, but Su Chen was not among them.
As they left, they all gave Hanshuang weird looks, thinking they had encountered a lunatic...
"Ten seconds left, 10, 9, 8..."
When she counted down to "1," Hanshuang walked straight inside.
She had only taken a few steps when a figure came out.
"Lady, what on earth are you doing?"
Su Chen had not expected that Hanshuang would really walk in. Don't you know that there are differences between men and women?
"Brother-in-law, why are you hiding from me?"
Hanshuang pouted and hummed.
As soon as Su Chen heard the words "brother-in-law," he jumped in shock and quickly covered her mouth.
Su Chen helplessly rolled his eyes. Why on earth would I hide from you?
Just because of your "brother-in-law," I would do anything to avoid it. What if Lin Ruoxue heard that? Then where would I be?
Even if she didn't hear, if she knew I was with you, would I still have a life to live?
It was already enough of a misunderstanding last time, and I had hardly managed to smooth things over. If we encountered each other again, how would I ever clear it up?
"Come on, let's talk outside."
Su Chen covered her mouth with one hand and grabbed her arm with the other, leading her downstairs and out until they were on the street before letting her go, thankful that they had encountered almost no one along the way...
"All right, what did you come to find me for?" Su Chen asked her repeatedly as soon as he let go. "And, why have you come to Jianghai again?"
"Of course, I came to play with you. As for my trip to Jianghai, it's for a case!"
Although Hanshuang was very dissatisfied with Su Chen's attitude, she still answered his questions.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen understood that she and her companion must be here for that mysterious case which had been causing the Jianghai police so much headache.
Su Chen had indeed asked Jiang Lixing to report the case to the Special Security Bureau, but he hadn't expected that old fellow would send this young lady over again.
But what he didn't know was that it wasn't Qin Ming who had sent her; she had utterly insisted on coming along...
Su Chen stood on the street for a long time coaxing her, promising to take her out in a few days, finally managing to send the young lady on her way...
