Chapter 165


    Su Ziyue didn’t look for Su Youcheng immediately. Instead, she went to the secretary office first.


    After ncing around the secretary office for a while, she fixed her gaze on Su Youcheng’s Chief


    Secretary.


    The secretary saw Su Ziyue too and said, “Director Su.”


    Su Ziyue smiled at him with her lips pursed, being polite without being too humble. She then asked,


    “When do you usually prepare tea for the Chairman?”


    “I was about to prepare some new tea and send it over to him now.” The Chief Secretary replied


    honestly after understanding what Su Ziyue was hinting at.


    After all, Miss Yige always did this when she used to work here before.


    Lots of people had tried to fawn over the old Chairman, but she wouldn’t always do every one of them a


    favor. However, Su Ziyue was the current Project Director of thepany and Su Youcheng’s


    biological granddaughter too.


    Even though she didn’t get along with Su Youcheng very well and some people had even bad mouthed


    her behind her back, the secretary thought it was too early to jump to a conclusion about who the old


    Chairman favored the most—Miss Yige or Miss Ziyue. Therefore, she decided to do Su Ziyue a favor,


    indirectly doing herself a favor as well.


    …


    After preparing some new tea, Su Ziyue walked to the front of Su Youcheng’s office and knocked on


    the office door carefully.


    After a while, Su Youcheng’s autocratic voice was heard from inside of the office. “Come in.”


    Su Ziyue struggled to hold the tray with one hand while using another to open the door. After entering


    the office and closing the door, she held the tray with both hands again.


    Su Youcheng was sitting in front of his office table, reading his documents with a pair of reading


    sses ced over his nose. He looked very serious.


    Su Ziyue strode across the room quietly and put down the teapot carefully without making any noise.


    Then, she took the cold tea beside him and changed it with the freshly brewed pot of tea.


    As Su Ziyue switched out the tea, Su Youcheng turned around and looked at her, not surprised by the


    fact that his granddaughter was here at all. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “What brings you here,


    Ziyue?”

    “I had a little ident two days ago, but it’s nothing serious. However, the doctor insisted that I should


    stay and rest at home for two days. I was also worried that there’ll be some problems which might


    affect my workter, so I decided to apply for a two-day leave anyway. Since thepany is going to


    get very busy after this, I thought I’de and have a look at you. Grandpa, you have to take care of


    yourself no matter how busy you are.”


    Su Ziyue didn’t mention anything about Su Yuanming bothering her during the meeting just now; she


    knew Su Youcheng would not care about petty things like this. Rather, he would only think she was


    being whiny and troublesome. Besides, there was another better way to get back at Su Yuanming right


    in front of her now.


    Upon hearing that, Su Youcheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Ziyue for a few seconds before


    he said, “It’s very nice of you to say that.”


    For some unknown reason, his reaction automatically reminded Su Ziyue of Qin Muchen.


    He liked to narrow his eyes whenever he was angry or contemting people, which made people


    unable to see through his feelings clearly. That way, it would be very difficult to figure out what he was


    thinking about, not to mention making people feel scared and nervous at the same time.


    “This is something that I should do anyway.” Su Ziyue sounded earnest.


    Su Youcheng spent his entire life working in Su Group; members of the Su Family were used to his


    unhealthy habit of forgetting about everything once he buried himself in his work. So, as time passed


    by, fewer people would remind him to take care of his health anymore.


    Su Youcheng was slightly touched when he heard Su Ziyue’s words of concern now.


    Therefore, his expression grew gentler. “Take a seat. You can just say anything that’s on your mind.”


    Su Ziyue sat down with a faint smile across her face. She couldn’t tell whether Su Youcheng’s gentle


    demeanor was genuine or just a pretense.


    “Grandpa, I heard that you’ve been worried about thepany’s business deals these two days. If you


    need my help on it, don’t hesitate to ask. After all, we’re family…” Family my foot!


    Indeed, she used to treat them like family when she was little. However, once she grew up and


    understood them, she didn’t treat them like family anymore.


    Perhaps it was because of Su Ziyue’s tteries which managed to win Su Youcheng’s favor, he just


    frowned when he heard that. He started his endlessints as if he had found a listener who was


    willing to listen to him.


    He even told Su Ziyue about everything that happened to Su Yuanming recently. Lastly, he said, “I’m


    old, and I can’t work like how I used to anymore. I don’t seem to have the energy to work on certain


    matters anymore—unlike when I was young.”


    “Grandpa, the wholepany depends on you. You’re responsible for making important decisions in


    thepany. As long as you take good care of yourself, I’m sure the Su Group will prosper greatly.”


    Using a serious and earnest tone, Su Ziyue ttered Su Youcheng with exaggeratedpliments and


    praises over and over again. Everybody liked tteries, including Su Youcheng; he had been working in


    the business world for his entire life and achieved great sess and fame in it.


    Su Youcheng shook his head. “Don’t say these kinds of beautiful but meaningless things either. All that


    matters is that you can get everything done and get more business deals for thepany.”


    Su Ziyue knew that he had agreed to it. So, she thanked him immediately and said, “Thank you,


    Grandpa.”


    “Go then.”


    …


    Su Ziyue went out of Su Youcheng’s office full of satisfaction. She didn’t expect it would be so easy to


    persuade Su Youcheng.


    If she had known this since the beginning, she would have found out where her father was imprisoned


    a long time ago.


    Su Ziyue’s face became gloomy at the thought of her father.


    There was still no news from Qin Muchen. She had investigated this in secret too, but she found


    nothing about the matter as well. Since it happened a long time ago, she didn’t know where to start


    investigating.


    Besides, she was equally clueless about who requested for her to take over those business deals


    mishandled by Su Yuanming. Not long after she went back to her office, Su Yuanming came looking for


    her.


    After all the incidents that happened recently, Su Yuanming and Su Ziyue could no longer get along


    well with each other anymore.


    “Do you really think the old man assigned those cases to you just because he trusts your ability? Stop


    dreaming! He just wants to know whether they really want to go against the Su Group or if they just


    want to mess with me alone.”


    As Su Yuanming finished, a look of mockery crossed his face as he smirked, looking as though he was


    waiting for Su Ziyue to get upset.


    However, Su Ziyue merely nced at him and leaned backward leisurely. She sounded rxed as she


    said, “Oh, really? I thought I’d take this opportunity to let Grandpa see my true potential clearly.”


    “You…” Su Yuanming attempted to mock Su Ziyue in the first ce, but he failed to do so. Moreover,


    he was insulted by Su Ziyue instead. He snorted and said coldly, “Young people should be more


    modest.”


    “Yes, Vice President Su, you’re right. However, I think one should be even more modest when one gets


    older. I suppose the staff in thepany won’t think you came to look for me now just to share your


    information with me regarding those cases you handled before.”


    As Su Ziyue finished, she held her chin up high in the air with a perfect smile on her face.


    Everyone noticed Su Yuanming’s odd behavior during the past few days. He came to look for Su Ziyue


    just after thetter went to find Su Youcheng and asked him to let her take over the cases ruined by Su


    Yuanming.


    Supposedly, most of the people would think that Su Yuanming hade to mess with Su Ziyue.


    Su Ziyue felt like she had found Su Yuanming’s weak spot.


    Like a person who walked on eggshells, he was in constant worry that Su Youcheng no longer favored


    him and would not entrust thepany to him anymore.


    Su Yuanming froze in shock when he heard that. His face became grim as he said, “Bear in mind that


    this is the Su Group!”


    “Not only have I always remembered this is the Su Group, I will always remember that I’m part of the


    Su Family as well.” This meant that as long as she was part of the Su Family, the Su Group belonged


    to her as well.


    Even though she already had one part of thepany share which had been left by her father, she


    could obtain another additional part of the share as long as Su Youcheng was willing to give her


    another part.


    Evidently, Su Yuanming thought about the same thing as she did. His face became dark and gloomy.


    Then, as if something had shed through his mind, he burst outughing all of a sudden. He


    commented enigmatically, “Verypetent, like your father.”
