"This isn't the first time something like this has happened at the Su family. Since it's happened a second time, it absolutely cannot happen a third time," Su Ziqing said earnestly.
"What do you mean, the second or the third time?!" What is she saying?!
"Private matters aside, public matters are public matters. I think the Su family still lacks someone who knows how to manage." So we need to hire a CEO as soon as possible.
Yes, that's it.
"What are you talking about?" Su Tianhao felt a chill on his feet.
"Didn't you understand? Second Uncle was worried that the Su Group would collapse without a chairman, so he had to find someone to take over as soon as possible," Su Ziqing said with a serious yet innocent expression.
Su Tianhao's face turned black with anger. "Are you kidding me?"
“Well… if I were to personally take charge, I might lack some experience,” Su Ziqing said with a smile.
Su Tianhao: "..." What did she say? Take charge personally?
"You want to be in power?"
“Yes,” Su Ziqing replied. She had also read several business books recently, especially those about female heirs who took over their family companies in their twenties.
"Su Ziqing, are you serious?" Su Tianhao's face was as dark as ink. Su's is a family company. If Su Tianming had an accident, and if he had an accident... wouldn't that mean it would be Su Ziqing's turn?
And there are no competitors yet. (Does Su Xiaoman count?)
"What I mean is, if things really develop to that point, I'll reluctantly take over, even though I've said before that I'm not really interested in doing business," she said casually.
Su Tianhao gritted his teeth again, "You're new to the business world, what do you know?"
"Mmm," she replied perfunctorily.
“But there’s nothing I can do. Second Uncle, you’re planning to shirk your responsibilities, I can’t just sit idly by, can I?” She looked at him with distress.
"..." Su Tianhao was speechless.
"It's time." The police officer came forward to urge them. It was already evening, and if it weren't for the special circumstances, Su Tianhao would never have allowed a visitation at this time.
Su Ziqing raised her hand to check the time. Hmm, it's getting late.
Seeing that Su Ziqing was really about to leave, Su Tianhao became truly anxious. "Ziqing."
"Second Uncle, get some rest." Su Ziqing turned around and glanced at him.
"Ziqing!!"
Su Ziqing left without looking back, her high heels echoing in my ears.
Only after leaving the police station could Su Ziqing finally hide the anger in her eyes and try to get him out.
Oh.
……………………
"Miss Su." Gong Chengjue's bodyguard was waiting for Su Ziqing to return at the door of her house.
"Let's go inside and talk." Su Ziqing went straight into the house.
"It's been confirmed. The suicide note is real, but it was written beforehand," the bodyguard said to Su Ziqing.
"Is it true?" She thought it was fabricated.
"It's true, and it's also true that Secretary Fang has depression, and not only depression, but also moderate anxiety." The bodyguard paused for a moment and then explained, "Currently, the groups suffering from depression and anxiety are becoming increasingly younger, probably because the pressure of life is too great these days."
Su Ziqing remained silent and did not respond.
Seeing her like this, the bodyguard paused for a moment, letting her process the information first, before continuing, "But I found out from Su Tianhao's assistant that Secretary Fang's death did not constitute suicide."
Su Ziqing looked up at the bodyguard, "What did you find out?"
"That evening, Su Tianhao, while at the company, summoned Secretary Fang, who was originally working overtime, back from her way home. Su Tianhao must have had an argument with Secretary Fang, and accidentally pushed her. Secretary Fang may have threatened to kill herself..."
"Wait a minute, you said at night, but Secretary Fang died in the morning." Su Ziqing felt that this statement did not make logical sense.
"So, did Secretary Fang not go home that day, or did she arrive at the company very early?" Su Ziqing asked the bodyguard.
"Secretary Fang arrived at the company in the morning, and the argument I just mentioned also happened in the morning." As for what exactly happened in the evening, that should be left unsaid.
Su Ziqing pondered the events, "You mean, Su Tianhao and Secretary Fang had something happen last night? And then Secretary Fang came to the company early this morning?"
"It seems he wants some money," the bodyguard said.
Su Ziqing frowned and didn't reply. The bodyguard continued, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Su Tianhao sexually assaulted the secretary, and then the secretary was driven to suicide after failing to get money from him. It's possible that Su Tianhao verbally provoked the secretary."
Only Su Tianhao himself knew these things.
"Are you sure?" Su Ziqing was somewhat taken aback by the investigation results. Secretary Fang had asked her for help, so how could she possibly ask Su Tianhao for money?
"Is that right, Miss Su? Do you have any doubts?" the bodyguard asked.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement. "When this happens normally, shouldn't we... seek justice?"
“Miss Su, you’ve forgotten Su Tianhao’s identity,” the bodyguard reminded her. “Although this world is not lacking in justice, sometimes justice that comes too late can be very painful, and you may even die before justice comes.”
Su Ziqing remained silent; she understood what the bodyguard meant.
"While Su Tianhao may not be all-powerful in City A, he's not someone an ordinary person can bring down. Secretary Fang is just a lowly secretary with no background or connections. If she suffers in silence and tries to sue him, Su Tianhao might just accuse her of seducing him..."
Su Ziqing's face turned pale.
The bodyguard continued, "Perhaps you don't understand, Miss Su, but that's how it is at the bottom sometimes... vulnerable."
"Stop talking." Su Ziqing didn't want to listen anymore, and the bodyguard wisely stopped talking as well.
People's thoughts are complex. They are not Secretary Fang herself, so they don't know what Secretary Fang's feelings were after experiencing such a thing.
I don't know why she went back to the company so early in the morning, and in the end she even paid the price with her life.
"What did the police say?" Two days isn't a short time; they should have found something by now, right?
"The Fang family requested an autopsy, and the autopsy report showed that Secretary Fang's body did indeed contain... male bodily fluids."
Otherwise, Su Tianhao wouldn't have been taken back to the police station and detained like that.
Su Ziqing narrowed her eyes and looked at the bodyguard, "Is it Su Tianhao's?"
"Yes. But Su Tianhao said that Secretary Fang had been having an improper relationship with him. The time before the incident, she seemed perfectly normal." In short, once the affair was exposed, there were all sorts of rebuttals, whatever was most advantageous to them.
Whether they've been having an improper relationship all along, who knows?
But in order to distance himself from the matter, he used the word "always," as if trying to prove something.
"Miss Su, there's someone pushing things forward behind the scenes," the bodyguard reminded her. He added, "Like I said before, the Fang family, without any backing, simply can't afford to offend Su Tianhao..."
