Chapter 198 Su Xiao Eavesdropping
"Reiko! Urgent information!!"
Su Xiao's video request exploded on Yu Ling's mobile phone screen with an "urgent" momentum, and the background sound was deafening bar music.
Yu Ling had just finished Zhao Chen feeding her Wangcai the same amount of sweet and sour pork ribs. She collapsed on a sofa covered in dozing Shiba Inus to digest her meal and lazily answered the call, "What's wrong, Miss Su? Which young hunk of meat has you 'eaten to death' again?"
"Fresh meat!" Su Xiao leaned closer to the camera, his face flushed, but his eyes were bright. "It's the iceberg! The moving iceberg next to your President Zhao! Lin! Feng!"
Yu Ling sat up straight instantly, her gossip radar on full blast: "Assistant Lin? What happened to him? He's finally been assimilated by the 'guild' AI and is telling jokes?"
"It's ten thousand times more powerful than that!" Su Xiao lowered his voice mysteriously. "Just now! At the Blues Bar! Alone! He ordered the strongest drink, 'Abyss Bomb'! He drank it in one gulp! And then! Guess what?"
"What happened? Did it crash and restart?"
"He! He pulled out a tablet!" Su Xiao danced with excitement. "He wasn't processing documents! He was watching...watching 'Paw Patrol'! Season 1! Episode 3! 'Archie Chases the Diamond Thief'! He was watching it so intently! And...and he was frowning! He seemed to be analyzing tactical loopholes!"
"Puff!" Yu Ling sprayed a mouthful of water on Wangcai's forehead. Wangcai shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Chen came over with some cut fruit and raised an eyebrow at the words, "Lin Feng? Watching the Paw Patrol? The 'Wang Cai Special Forces' training manual he's in charge of does indeed quote some of the Paw Patrol's teamwork model as a negative example..."
"That's not the point!" Su Xiao screamed. "The point is that after he finished reading, he put the tablet away, still with that icy expression that said 'the whole world owes me 50 billion', and then... he actually! He walked towards me!"
"Wow!" Yu Ling's eyes lit up. "The iceberg melts? The iron tree blooms?"
"What the hell!" Su Xiao was devastated. "He walked over to my booth and stood straight, like a pillar! Then, in the serious tone of someone reporting the Guild's quarterly financial report, he said to me, 'Ms. Su Xiao, based on behavioral analysis, you've consumed excessive amounts of alcohol and high-calorie puffed foods for three consecutive hours. I recommend you stop immediately and drink 500 ml of electrolyte water. Do you want me to call 'Wangwang Designated Driver' for you?'"
Lidya Su imitated Lin Feng's calm tone perfectly.
"Hahahaha!" Yu Ling laughed and fell into Zhao Chen's arms. "And then what?"
"Then?" Su Xiao rolled his eyes. "I said, 'No need! I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!' But this idiot actually pulled out a bottle of 'Guild Special' electrolyte water with a Shiba Inu paw print printed on it from his suit's inner pocket, which was like a four-dimensional pocket! He unscrewed it! He handed it to me! He said, 'Health intervention procedure in progress. Please drink.'"
"Hahaha!" Yu Ling laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. "Did you drink it?"
"How can I not drink it?!" Su Xiao was frantic. "That look in his eyes! It's like Wangcai staring at dried meat! He won't give up until he gets what he wants! I doubt if I don't drink it, he'll call the 'Wangwang Medical Team' to give me a gastric pump on the spot!"
"And you were bribed by a bottle of electrolyte water?" Yu Ling teased.
"Bribe!" Su Xiao's face turned even redder. "After drinking the water, this piece of wood didn't even move! It just stood there like a door god! It scared away all the handsome guys I wanted to chat up! Finally... finally..."
"What happened in the end?" Yu Ling smelled the scent of adultery.
"Finally, the bar closed!" Su Xiao wailed. "That idiot actually called a 'Paw Patrol Driver' for me! He drove that armored SUV with the Shiba Inu baring its teeth! He drove me all the way home! He didn't say a word on the way! His tablet was on, playing Paw Patrol! Captain Ryder's line, 'There are no difficult jobs, only brave dogs!', kept playing in my head all night! Help, Lingzi! This iceberg is driving me crazy!"
Yu Ling laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She turned to look at Zhao Chen and said, "Chairman Zhao, does your special assistant's 'health intervention program' also include forcing him to watch children's cartoons?"
Zhao Chen pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, looking innocent. "It's about the welfare of the guild, caring about the physical and mental health of employees and...potentially related personnel. Cartoons are Lin Feng's personal interest and have nothing to do with the guild."
A few days later, in the office of the chairman of Starlight Technology.
Yu Ling was discussing a new project with Lin Wei when Su Xiaofeng rushed in, sat down, grabbed Yu Ling's Shiba Inu thermos and drank from it.
"What's wrong, my aunt?" Yu Ling saw that she looked hopeless.
"Lin Feng! It's Lin Feng again!" Su Xiao put down the thermos cup with a clang. "I was just now! At the cafe downstairs! Chatting about life ideals with a new photographer I just met! The atmosphere was just perfect! We were almost exchanging WeChat accounts!"
"And then Special Assistant Lin came to the rescue riding on a colorful cloud?" Yu Ling raised her eyebrows.
"It's even scarier than that!" Su Xiao slammed his hand on the table. "He's like a ghost! He suddenly appeared next to our booth! Still wearing that black suit, still that icy face! And he was holding... an insulated lunch box with a silly grinning Shiba Inu printed on it!"
Su Xiao imitated Lin Feng's tone, lowering his voice without any fluctuations:
"Ms. Su Xiao, your lunch. Mrs. Zhao has ordered a specially prepared low-calorie healthy meal from Wangwang Fresh Food. It must be consumed before 12:30 PM to ensure optimal nutrient absorption. Also, based on a preliminary background check, the male target's social media likes over the past three months indicate that his aesthetic preferences differ from yours by 87.3%, and the long-term matching success rate is less than 15%. It is recommended that ineffective social interactions be terminated."
Yu Ling: “…”
Lin Wei: “Puff…”
"Then what?!" Yu Ling asked while suppressing her laughter.
"And then?!" Su Xiao pointed at his nose. "Then that photographer looked at Lin Feng like he was an alien! Then he looked at the Shiba Inu lunch box in front of me! He said, 'You guys are having a lot of fun,' and ran away! Ran away!!"
Lidya Su rubbed her hair frantically: "Lingzi! Control your special assistant! If he keeps doing this kind of 'health intervention' and 'background check', I'll never be single again in my life! Does he have a problem with me?!"
Before Yu Ling could say anything, there was a knock on the office door.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Lin Feng, wearing a neat black suit with a shiny Shiba Inu badge on his chest, walked in expressionlessly, holding a tablet in his hand.
"Madam, President Chen asked me to deliver the summary of this afternoon's meeting." Lin Feng's voice was calm, and his eyes swept over the frantic Lidya Su without any ripples, as if she was just a pot of talking green ivy.
"Assistant Lin!" Su Xiao jumped up and blocked his way in front of him. "What do you mean? You're just trying to ruin my romance, right?"
Lin Feng stopped and looked down at her. His gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses was as calm as if he was analyzing data.
"Ms. Su Xiao, according to Article 5 of Chapter 3 of the 'Temporary Management Rules for the Health and Social Safety of Guild-Affiliated Personnel (Trial Version)', I have an obligation to provide necessary reminders and intervention regarding your high-risk social behavior. This is my duty."
"Duty?!" Su Xiao was so angry that he jumped up and down. "What kind of duty do you think you can control who I drink coffee with?!"
"President Chen has signed the authorization." Lin Feng opened the tablet and pulled out an electronic document with Zhao Chen's flamboyant electronic signature on it. The title of the document was: "Notice on including Ms. Su Xiao in the temporary health observation list of external related personnel of the 'Guild' (with intervention authority)."
Yu Ling leaned over to take a look and was delighted. Good job, Zhao Chen! You're waiting right here!
Su Xiao looked at the "notice" with his eyes almost popping out of his head: "Zhao Chen?! What right did he have to put me on some kind of observation list? And even interfere with my authority?! I'm not a dog of your 'guild'!"
"Wangcai is also on the list, one level higher than you." Lin Feng added seriously, "He enjoys double the quota of dried meat."
Lidya Su: “…” She felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat.
"Also," Lin Feng put away his tablet and looked at the canvas bag with a grumpy Shiba Inu printed on it that Su Xiao had casually thrown on the sofa.
"According to backend data, at 10:07 this morning, in the third stall of the women's restroom on the 17th floor of Xinghui Building, you attempted to eavesdrop on the encrypted conversation between President Chen and the North American branch using an illegally modified eavesdropping device (model: Kitty cat version, disguised as a Shiba Inu keychain)."
Lidya Su’s face turned pale!
