Chapter 398 You've really taken the substitute literature to a whole new level!

Seeing Li Tingxi's feigned pitiful look, even though she knew he was doing it on purpose, Su Youling still gave in, "You guys are talking about work, it's not convenient for me to be here, is it?"

“You’re my wife, what can’t I listen to?” Li Tingxi said matter-of-factly. “If I really die one day, everything I have will be inherited by you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Su Youling glared at him fiercely and said, "Li Tingxi, shut up!"

"I'm sorry, I misspoke again." The man who was decisive and fierce like a wolf in public turned into a docile little lamb in front of Su Youling. Li Tingxi smiled ingratiatingly at Su Youling, "Keep me company, I don't feel at ease when I can't see you."

Su Youling frowned, glanced at the time, and realized she was indeed worried about Li Tingxi, this workaholic, handling his work alone.

After discussing it for a while, she took her laptop and sat down on the sofa to work. Li Tingxi then smiled indulgently at her.

He turned around and saw three subordinates.

President Li's eyes turned cold and ruthless again. "Speak, what major events have happened recently!"

With a serious expression that suggested he was used to it, Qin He began to report, in a methodical manner, the various unusual events that had occurred at headquarters since he fell into a coma.

Han Li stared blankly at the president's gentle gaze as he occasionally glanced at Rebecca out of the corner of his eye. Thinking about their interaction just now, he was conflicted and felt sorry for the director.

Over the past few years, everyone has been saying that the president and Karina have an unusual relationship.

However, he could tell from the president's words and actions that the president's relationship with Karina was not the ambiguous one that outsiders claimed. She was just an employee who took extra care of him, and there was nothing more to it than that.

Aside from the headquarters in City A, the president has spent the most time at Yitao Culture in City B over the years, because that's the company he and Director Su worked hard for together, a place that uniquely belongs to their past.

The president has never forgotten the director and still thinks about her, which gives Han Li some comfort. At least the director didn't marry the wrong person back then.

Who knew that this good fortune wouldn't last long?

This newcomer appeared so quickly, stealing all of the president's tenderness and pampering. What's even more unacceptable is that she has such a similar face to Director Su, and brazenly enjoys the love that should belong to Director Su...

As one of Director Su's "own people," Han Li felt from the bottom of his heart that the director was not worthy of such a role and looked down on the president's kind of stand-in literature.

What's even more outrageous is that when the president and the director were together, he wasn't actually that good to the director at all.

Although the director is very capable and has a gentle but firm personality, she is always more cautious and careful in front of the president. The two are not equals at all.

In front of the president, Director Su would never act as spoiled and arrogant as Rebecca just now.

Rebecca took advantage of Director Su's face and enjoyed a kind of love that even Director Su himself never received. How can this not make people sigh and feel indignant?

Han Li became increasingly agitated as he thought about it, his expression turning rather unpleasant. He even felt an urge to storm out the door, unwilling to watch the two of them exchanging glances any longer.

"Han Li!" Qin He suddenly nudged him. "It's your turn to report. What are you daydreaming about?"

Especially staring blankly at the lady, isn't that courting death?

Didn't you see how sour the CEO's face was?

Han Li snapped out of his daze and met Li Tingxi's unfriendly gaze. He was startled and then recovered from his mixed emotions, starting to report on his work in a serious and methodical manner.

Just now, he almost mentally drafted his resignation letter.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Alright!

...

They said they would discuss a few important matters and then leave, but in reality, the work lasted for another two or three hours.

"It's almost lunchtime, Assistant Qin. Why don't you take them to get something to eat? Tingxi needs her dressing changed too. If the doctor sees you, he'll yell at you." If Su Youling hadn't stepped in, these people would have been chatting forever.

Han Li glanced at her in surprise.

When the CEO is working, he is always very focused and doesn't like to be disturbed.

We already let her listen in on Li's secrets, but now she dares to interfere?

Unexpectedly—

Li Tingxi glanced at the time, suddenly realizing how quickly it had passed. "That's enough for today. We'll resolve the project issues according to the plan we just drafted. For now, we don't need to disclose the news that I've woken up."

He narrowed his eyes dangerously. "I want to see how many demons and monsters haven't shown their true colors yet."

Qin He nodded, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

Turning his head, Han Li stared at Su Youling in disbelief, unable to move.

"What are you doing?" Qin He quickly pulled the person away before Li Tingxi could get angry, and warned in a low voice, "Miss Rebecca is the apple of President Li's eye, you'd better watch your step."

Han Li paused, standing in front of the elevator, coldly looking at Qin He. "Assistant Qin, is President Li's heart a durian? It's packed with people!"

"You..." Qin He belatedly realized, "You're doing this because of... Director Su?"

"The director was very kind to me, like a mentor in my career. I respect her very much and hope she's doing well." Han Li, a grown man, still had tears in his eyes when he mentioned Su Youling after so long. "But how many people still remember her? The president has moved on to a new love so quickly, and that woman is still using Director Su's name. It's so unfair!"

He suddenly glared resentfully at the ward door. "Does the president think—that Director Su's spirit in heaven would be happy that he has a substitute?"

Qin He: "...He wouldn't think that way."

"But what he did was so unworthy of Director Su." Han Li wiped his eyes, even thinking of going back to resign. His resentment towards the president was growing stronger.

Qin He quickly pulled him back. "Calm down. Keeping public and private matters separate is the most basic rule in the workplace. Didn't Director Su teach you that?"

Han Li was indeed outmaneuvered. He hesitated as he entered the elevator, still feeling quite down... He was so angry just thinking about it.

Qin He rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

I didn't realize this kid was such a die-hard fan of Su Youling.

If I had known, I shouldn't have brought him on this trip.

In the hospital ward.

Li Tingxi gripped Su Youling's hand with displeasure, the room reeking of his jealousy. "That guy surnamed Han, did he have designs on you before? He was practically glued to you just now!"

"Are you out of your mind? Xiao Han was clearly just shocked by my face, thinking you were doing some kind of stand-in literature, right?" Su Youling rolled her eyes at him, pulled her hand away, sat down to the side, and sneered, "After all, you have a precedent to learn from, you've even made a mess of stand-in literature, and Xiao Han used to be one of my people, so he's probably feeling disheartened by my spirit in heaven?"

"Su Su, don't talk nonsense!" Li Tingxi frowned and immediately leaned closer to show his loyalty. "There is no substitute for you, only you. Heaven and earth can bear witness, I would give you my life. What else can replace your uniqueness towards me?"
