Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Are you satisfied with the current results? ...
After Xu Tingzhou finished speaking, he and Xiao Guo left without looking back.
Lin Mo didn't understand what he meant, and didn't care about the meaning of his words. She took Lin Peng's arm and checked it from front to back and left to right: "Are you injured?"
"Okay, sister, it's just a scratch on my hand, it's okay, look, everything else is fine." Lin Peng smiled playfully and took the initiative to turn around in front of Lin Mo. Unexpectedly, his ear was suddenly grabbed by Lin Zhijie, "Ah, Dad, it hurts--"
Before Lin Zhijie came, he was very nervous, fearing that his son would get into trouble, and even more afraid that he would be beaten. He didn't expect that this little bastard still didn't repent, and smiled all the time, not looking like a good student at all.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Let go, it hurts." Lin Peng pretended to be pitiful and raised his injured hand.
Lin Zhijie was so annoyed by the brat that he glanced at Wang Qian beside him. It was obvious that this well-mannered man knew Lin Mo. He guessed that the two might have something to say, so he patted Lin Peng on the back of the head and said, "Let's go and apply the medicine."
Lin Peng said "oh" obediently.
Before leaving, she gave Wang Qian a sly smile and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, brother." Then she said to Lin Mo, "Sister, your friend just helped me. Please thank him for me."
Before he could ask any more questions, Lin Peng was dragged by Lin Zhijie to apply medicine.
Lin Mo politely curled her lips towards Wang Qian: "Thank you, Assistant Wang, what a coincidence."
"No, I just came here to look for you." Wang Qian pointed to the parking space in front and handed the car keys to Lin Mo. "That's the car provided by the hotel."
Lin Mo looked where he pointed. A small white car was parked in a nearby parking space. Just as the hotel valet had said, aside from the license plate, it looked identical to hers. Is this the level of service at a top-tier hotel? Even she, the supposed "victim," felt flattered.
"Thank you for making such a special trip."
Wang Qian: "Ms. Lin, you're welcome. As the hotel owner, we were at fault first."
"But I still have to thank you for helping my brother. If you have time, I'll treat you to a meal."
"No, it's just a piece of cake. I have something else to do and have to leave first. Goodbye, Miss Lin."
"Again..." Without waiting for Lin Mo to respond, Wang Qian turned around and ran quickly across the street.
Lin Mo frowned in confusion.
Although she had not had much contact with Wang Qian before, she had met him several times. In her impression, this Assistant Wang was rigorous and reserved, gentle and considerate to others, and he was completely the kind of top-notch special assistant who never made mistakes. Why did she see a hint of panic in his eyes just now and run away in a hurry?
"Did I say something I shouldn't have? Because I offered to treat him to a meal?"
Lin Mo narrowed her eyes, followed Wang Qian's back, and suddenly her eyes froze.
A little further ahead across the street, there was an eye-catching luxury car parked. It was a Rolls-Royce with a gold and black color scheme. Cars were coming and going in the middle of the road, and the flashing lights illuminated the half-open front window of the Rolls-Royce. The handsome profile of the man in the window could be vaguely seen. It was Lu Yanxiao.
Wang Qian and Lu Yanxiao came together?
Lin Mo's mind suddenly popped up what Xu Tingzhou said - a big backer.
She had no time to pay attention to it just now, but now when she thinks about it, she can realize that there are many strange things in it. Even if Wang Qian came to deliver her a car and happened to help Lin Peng, why did Xu Tingzhou, who was originally going to call the police in a stern voice, suddenly change his words, as if he was afraid that the police would pursue Lin Peng again.
He went home to get some clothes and other things, and stopped at the supermarket to buy some food on the way. When he returned to the ward, his grandfather was fast asleep, and Lin Peng was sitting in a chair with headphones on, playing games.
Lin Mo poked Lin Peng's shoulder and motioned him to take off his headphones: "Go outside."
The two of them quietly walked out of the ward. As soon as the door closed, Lin Peng excitedly said, "Sister, did you really send invitations to all of Xu Tingzhou's colleagues?"
"How do you know?" Lin Mo was surprised.
"Awesome, you're worthy of being my sister!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Peng sat down on a chair in the hallway, sullen. "Xu Tingzhou said that because you secretly used his company email to send out group invitations, it caused him a lot of trouble. He came to find you specifically. If I don't want to be detained, I must help him convince you to record an apology and clarification video. This bastard is stupid..."
Lin Mo glared at him, but Lin Peng stopped talking in time and didn't utter the last swear word.
"Then why did he suddenly tell the police it was a misunderstanding?"
Speaking of this, Lin Peng also felt strange, but it was only strange for a short while. He didn't care. He would be put in the detention center. He deliberately injured his hand. At that time, it could be said that it was a mutual fight, and Xu Tingzhou would also be punished. It could be considered as revenge for his sister.
Lin Peng opened the game again and said indifferently, "Maybe he figured it out, or maybe he's scared?"
"Lin Peng." Lin Mo's voice cooled down and she stretched out a hand to block his phone. "Think about it carefully. This is very important to my sister."
Hearing his sister's serious attitude, Lin Peng stopped laughing, thought about it, raised his head and said seriously: "At that time, Xu Tingzhou and his companions tied my arms behind my back and prevented me from moving. The brother with glasses happened to pass by..."
"He asked me if I needed help, so I definitely did. The brother knew Xu Tingzhou, and Xu Tingzhou seemed quite...respectful of him. I listened to him and agreed to let me go, but he had to let me wait for the police to arrive."
"Oh, right."
Lin Peng suddenly made a new discovery, his eyes lit up and he sat up straight. "While we were waiting, the brother with glasses kept sending messages on his phone, and Xu Tingzhou kept nagging me about recording videos and stuff. That's when the brother realized I was your brother."
"After a while, Xu Tingzhou received a phone call. The person on the line seemed to be scolding him, telling him to get out of here. Xu Tingzhou kept nodding and bowing to the air like a grandson, saying only 'I know,' 'I understand,' and 'Yes, yes,' but after the call, the police arrived, and his attitude changed."
The more Lin Peng spoke, the more she began to understand: "Sister, is your friend an important figure? Could it be that he helped you?"
"It shouldn't be him."
Wang Qian is not enough to scare Xu Tingzhou. If there is such a big shot, it must be Lu Yanxiao.
Lin Peng: "What's going on? It's so strange."
Lin Mo had this suspicion a long time ago, so she confirmed it with Lin Peng as soon as she returned to the hospital. Now, after listening to Lin Peng's story, this suspicion has increased a little, but it has not reached the level of certainty.
"I don't know either."
Lin Mo sat down on a nearby chair. If it was indeed Lu Yanxiao who had helped her, and she owed him a favor, she couldn't just pretend she knew nothing and accept it with a clear conscience. She had to express her gratitude. But the key was, she wasn't sure. If it wasn't Lu Yanxiao, and she rashly asked, it would seem like she was being presumptuous.
While I was hesitating, the cell phone rang.
Lin Mo lowered her eyes and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Lin Mo: "Hello, hello."
"It's me." Xu Tingzhou's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Mo subconsciously wanted to hang up, but paused just as her fingertips were about to touch the screen. Xu Tingzhou's call at this time must be related to what had just happened, which just happened to confirm her suspicions.
Lin Mo glanced at Lin Peng next to her. The guy had put on his headphones again and was immersed in the game.
Lin Mo poked his arm, gesturing that she was going to answer a call. Then, she stood up, holding the phone and walked away, whispering, "What's going on?"
Xu Tingzhou: "Um, yes, I'm sorry..."
Xu Tingzhou actually became hesitant and was still apologizing to her. Lin Mo was too lazy to listen to his prelude and went straight to the point: "If you have something to say, please say it. If not, hang up."
"Don't hang up, don't hang up, I'll tell you right away." Xu Tingzhou hurriedly stopped him.
"Are you and Lu Yanxiao together?"
“…”
"Since we've known each other for a while, could you please let me go and ask President Xiao to not break off the cooperation with Kong Ying?"
The automobile industry under the Lu Group is one of the core industries. Kongying is a company that produces auto parts. Many of its products rely on Lu, the major client. Once Lu terminates cooperation, Kongying's products will be unsalable in a short period of time and its capital chain will be blocked. If Lu Yanxiao really goes crazy, no other company will dare to wade into this muddy water. It won't be long before Kongying is very likely to be dragged down.
In this situation, what's the point of talking about face?
Wu Zhengquan was so anxious that he wanted to kneel down in front of Lu Yanxiao and admit his mistake, but he couldn't even see Lu Yanxiao. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and scold Xu Tingzhou to beg Lin Mo.
Xu Tingzhou was in a difficult situation.
Because of Lin Mo's email, his reputation has been ruined. If Kongying goes bankrupt or is kicked out by Wu Zhengquan, he will be really finished. He has no choice but to beg Lin Mo humbly.
"I really have no other choice, Lin Mo, please help me."
Lin Mo gradually understood in her heart that her guess was correct. It was indeed Lu Yanxiao who put pressure on her. Now that she had gotten the answer, there was no need to waste time with Xu Tingzhou.
"I won't help you."
Lin Mo refused coldly. To prevent Xu Tingzhou from pestering her further, she threatened him vaguely, "Don't look for me again in the future. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
After hanging up the call with Xu Tingzhou, Lin Mo switched to the chat interface with Lu Yanxiao.
Regardless of the other party's motives, he had helped her, so she had no reason not to be grateful. So, she composed a very sincere message and sent it: [Mr. Lu, thank you for your help in resolving Xu Tingzhou's matter.]
After waiting for more than a minute, Lu Yanxiao replied: [You're welcome.]
Lin Mo stared at these three words for a long time, and was still confused until the cool breeze blew over from the stairs.
The three words "You're welcome" seemed to indicate that Lu Yanxiao had put pressure on Kong Ying and Xu Tingzhou not for any other purpose, but simply to help her? However, why would such a big shot help her? This was not a simple favor, but a level that could destroy a company as large as Kong Ying. They were not even friends.
For a moment, an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness came over me.
Although she had met Lu Yanxiao a few times and had the impression that he was a nice person, she wasn't close to him. Among the various rumors about him online, gossip was a significant part of the story. Furthermore, with Xu Tingzhou's question, "Are you and Lu Yanxiao together?" as a prelude, she couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yanxiao had some intentions towards her.
To be honest, she was a little scared.
My fingertips tapped lightly on the screen, but I wrote and deleted again and again, still not knowing what to reply.
Two minutes later, the phone vibrated again and Lu Yanxiao received a new message.
Lu Yanxiao: [Sorry, this incident started because of me, I have the responsibility to calm it down.]
So that's what he thought.
It turned out that Lu Yanxiao believed that this series of events were caused by him asking her to go to the club to return the phone, so out of apology, he had an obligation to clean up the mess.
The uneasiness in her heart was replaced by shame. Mr. Lu was so honest and responsible, how could she have such narcissistic thoughts!
Lin Mo slapped her forehead in frustration, her fingers rapidly typing on the screen: [Mr. Lu, please don't think like that. This isn't your fault. You couldn't have foreseen that Xu Tingzhou and the others would do such an outrageous thing. He's the real instigator.]
Lu Yanxiao: [Are you satisfied with the current results?]
The girl pursed her red lips and glanced towards her grandfather's ward. Even if Xu Tingzhou were to fail miserably, it wouldn't offset the pain her grandfather was in from the surgery. But she could only keep these words to herself. She pulled herself together and politely replied, "Yeah, I'm fine, Mr. Lu. You're such a good person."
Lin Mo: [If it's convenient, I'd like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude.]
Lu Yanxiao: [Okay.]
