C11 The Key Was on Lu Jinhan's Body
When Jiang Zhehan lost his temper, everyone was too intimidated to raise their voices.
Chi Xin's lips curled into a faint smile. She was eager to see if the enraged Young Master Jiang would actually toss the woman before him out on the spot.
Upon laying eyes on Su Rann, the fury in Jiang Zhehan's eyes seemed to dissipate, replaced by a spark of interest. What divine beauty was this?
Despite being no stranger to female company, there was a classical allure about the woman before him that stood out.
"What's Young Master Jiang up to?"
They had never seen anyone dare to take the seat beside Young Master Jiang.
"Young Master Jiang must be seething. How is he planning to punish her?" Chi Xin watched with anticipation.
She had once attempted to sit next to Jiang Zhehan, only to find herself taking a few days off to recover from the empty gesture.
"I agree. Anyone who's tried to get close to him in the past ended up injured or worse."
...
"Hello, my name is Jiang Zhehan!" He offered his right hand in greeting.
All those present were taken aback. Was this the Young Master Jiang they knew?
He actually allowed this woman to sit beside him?
"Su Rann!" She did not reach out in return, instead directing her gaze elsewhere and responding coolly.
Young Master Jiang had extended an olive branch, and this woman simply disregarded it?
Chi Xin's hands were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, her face shadowed with a hint of darkness.
Hee Chen clapped his hands, glancing at the time.
"Today is the weekly general manager's routine inspection. It's almost time. Let's get ready, everyone!
Su Rann, since you're new today, just stand at the back and don't say a word!" Hee Chen instructed briefly.
"Okay," she responded, her tone flat.
Jiang Zhehan couldn't take his eyes off her, feeling a sense of familiarity but unable to place where he had seen her before.
He found her icy demeanor refreshing, a welcome change from the women who typically fawned over him.
"Don't worry, I've got your back from now on!" Jiang Zhehan assured her.
Su Rann remained silent.
Her phone vibrated in her bag, causing her to furrow her brows slightly.
She grabbed her bag and headed for the restroom.
"Boss, you finally picked up!" The voice on the other end sounded desperate as soon as the call connected.
"What's the matter?" Her voice carried a hint of chill.
"Boss, please don't hang up yet. I've found out where the key is!" Eagle Eye spoke urgently, fearing that the boss would get upset and disconnect the call once more.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.
"The key is definitely with the Lu family!"
"Nonsense!" Su Rann's tone was clearly tinged with impatience.
"Just hold on a second, boss. I can now confirm that the key is in Lu Jinhan's possession!"
With a click, Su Rann ended the call. How could she have failed to mention such crucial information sooner?
As Su Rann stepped out the door, a procession was heading straight toward her. The woman in the lead frowned upon seeing Su Rann standing in their path.
"Move aside!"
She was all too familiar with women who relied on their looks to try and charm the general manager. As long as she was at the company, she'd ensure no other woman could get anywhere near Lu Jinhan.
But as she reached out to shove Su Rann aside, her hand was firmly caught by someone.
