Chapter 951: Chapter 932: Partnering with You Would Lower My Standards

Su Lin actually rejected Shen Ruozhuo’s offer to help; who knows if Shen Ruozhuo might end up being more trouble than assistance!

Originally, Qin Mobai said Su Lin’s task was to keep an eye on Shen Ruozhuo, to prevent her from stirring up trouble.

Well, Su Lin kept an eye on Shen Ruozhuo, and now he discovered he might become a dutiful nanny!

Fixing fuses, repairing faucets, fixing… He is a senior assistant, okay, soon to be promoted to Jia Sheng Group’s general manager. Is he the person for these kinds of tasks?

“I just made some food; let’s eat together!” Shen Ruozhuo suggested dining together when she realized Su Lin didn’t respond.

“No, I have things to do later.”

“What do you have to do? Is it urgent?”

“Not very urgent,” he wanted to go home, watch TV, and ask the chef to cook for him.

“If it’s not urgent, stay for dinner. You’ve helped me so many times, I should thank you.”

“No need to thank me,” it’s all the boss’s orders.

“I insist,” Shen Ruozhuo persisted, “And I don’t like eating alone. Can you dine with me?”

It seems Su Lin can’t reject a beauty’s request; besides, he’s kind of hungry.

“I’ll serve the dishes first, you can come over to eat after you’re done,” Shen Ruozhuo said with a smile, and then turned to leave.

Su Lin found himself unable to refuse, so he decided to just have the meal; dining wouldn’t be a fatal chore, would it?

Shen Ruozhuo went to the kitchen to bring out the food, and right when she stepped in, her phone rang.

She looked at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

“Hello,” Shen Ruozhuo answered.

“Hi, Shen Ruozhuo.”

That voice… Lou Xi?

No, no, Lou Xi wouldn’t speak like this to her, “Lin Qianqian?” Shen Ruozhuo asked.

“You guessed it.”

Shen Ruozhuo actually disliked Lin Qianqian, probably because she had a face similar to Lou Xi. Her feelings towards Lou Xi are complex now.

Guilt and resentment intertwined, sometimes making it hard for her to discern.

“What do you need?” Shen Ruozhuo asked.

“I know you don’t like Lou Xi. Why don’t we form an alliance?”

Such a straightforward and undisguised offer for an alliance was a first for Shen Ruozhuo. “Sorry, your rank is too low; teaming up with you would lower my standards, and not just anyone can collaborate with me.”

At least, someone with Xi Siwei’s caliber.

But Xi Siwei is locked up, so Shen Ruozhuo doesn’t want to cooperate with anyone; it’s boring and she doesn’t want to drag herself into it.

With that thought, Shen Ruozhuo hung up the phone, put it on silent mode, and placed it on the counter, ready to bring the dishes to the dining area.

As she turned, she saw Su Lin standing at the kitchen door.

Shen Ruozhuo was taken aback; did he hear her conversation with Lin Qianqian?

It’s worth noting, Shen Ruozhuo’s tone during the call was cold and not as gentle as she appeared in front of Su Lin.

“The dishes… are ready,” Shen Ruozhuo hesitated, genuinely fearing that Su Lin might develop a negative opinion of her.

“Who was the call from just now?”

“It was Lin Qianqian; she wanted me to partner with her against Lou Xi, but I refused.”

“I knew this Lin Qianqian was trouble; I need to inform President Qin.”

“Su Lin,” Shen Ruozhuo called to him, “Won’t you join me for this meal?”

Su Lin looked at Shen Ruozhuo and saw the plea in her eyes.

Perhaps it was at this moment that Su Lin realized Shen Ruozhuo is a girl who needs love.
