Chapter 15: The Benchmark Among Men

Li Meixin was stunned. She had already been extremely accommodating, so why did this man still push his luck by saying there was something wrong with her body!

"Cousin, everyone gets sick. Please don't stress over it. Let's wait for the examination results."

Su Sheng had actually considered giving his cousin a personal consultation. But upon second thought, the treatment would be inconvenient, and besides, it wasn't a serious illness; with today's medical standards, hospital treatment would suffice.

Thus, informing her of the situation was the best he could do, a deed done without seeking fame.

But something seemed to have gone wrong, Li Meixin not only didn't appreciate it but also suddenly exploded, screaming, "Su Sheng, get out of my office now, immediately!"

"Ah!" Su Sheng was confused. What was going on?

However, Li Meixin completely lost control, grabbing Su Sheng with one hand and flinging open the door with the other, forcefully pushing him out.

With a bang, the door slammed shut, unable to mask the shouts from inside.

"Damn, could Cousin also have some psychological disorder!"

Through the closed door, Su Sheng could see Li Meixin inside shouting and throwing things, much like his Iceberg wife occasionally did.

Was this a hereditary recessive gene, accompanied by intermittent explosive disorder?

Shaking his head, as a paragon among men and a role model among employees, he decided it was better not to quibble with a sick person at this time.

Regaining his composure and seeing the middle-aged secretary foolishly standing in the corner, he ended up saying speechlessly, "Director Li is reflecting on herself; please arrange an office for me first!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away." The middle-aged secretary, daring not to speculate further, sighed inwardly, "What a misfortune, why did the boss have to deal with such a man."

Before long, Su Sheng was sitting in a place solely reserved for his personal use. Although it was just a small office, it was decently equipped. He would make do with it for now, as he wasn't likely to be frequently sitting in the office anyway.

On the other hand, Li Meixin finally calmed down, but now she couldn't figure things out.

No, she couldn't keep Su Sheng around, at least not in her department. Otherwise, over time, it might be the death of her, literally infuriating.

Just as she was packing up her things to go complain to the president, her cousin, she suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

"Grandpa!" Li Meixin's voice was full of grievances, even tearful.

"Ah Xin, what's wrong? Are you worried about Grandpa? Don't worry, I just have trouble moving around a bit, but I'm in good health," said the old man on the phone with a smile.

He was very happy today because his son-in-law had finally agreed to work at the company. He was also pleased that his granddaughter cared so much about him.

Although Li Meixin wasn't a member of the Tang Family, in the old man's heart, she was no different from his own granddaughter.

Hearing the old man's voice, Li Meixin dared not make a fuss any longer.

Although she also called him Grandpa, his status was too high.

This was the founder of Tang Corporation, still the actual controller to this day, owning more than half of the company's shares. Plus, he was a self-made man, whose presence commanded respect from anyone.

"Grandpa, you will surely live a long and healthy life."

"Alright, Grandpa will try to live a few more years. Ah Xin, the child, oh, I mean Su Sheng is working in your department, right?"

This was the main reason the old man had called. His concern for Su Sheng was not less than for his biological grandchildren.

Li Meixin felt her head was about to explode. Su Sheng was just a distant relative, so why would Grandpa personally call to ask about him?

Wait, Zijun had mentioned that Su Sheng's father had once greatly helped Grandpa, and this despicable man had also won Grandpa's favor.

Reflecting on this, she tentatively asked, "Grandfather, yes, Cousin Su Sheng just came to report to me."

"You calling him cousin shows that you get along well. That's right, Meixin, don't be influenced by Zijun. She doesn't get along with Sheng, and you mustn't follow her example.

"So, Sheng hasn't caused you any trouble, has he?" The old man spoke with a smile, and if it weren't for his physical condition, he would probably be drinking a toast.

At that moment, Meixin truly felt like crying, as she could clearly hear how much the elder valued Su Sheng. If she complained about him now, it would be seen as lacking a sense of the big picture. If that upset the old man to the point of a serious consequence, the outcome was unthinkable.

If the old man were no longer around, given the current complex situation in the corporation, it was very likely that her cousin might not hold onto the president's position, and she as a department manager would also lose influence.

"Grandfather, Su Sheng and I get along very well. Someone of his talents is exactly what the department needs; how could there be any trouble?"

It hurt her deeply. Saying these words felt like she was bleeding inside.

"I thought as much; gold will shine sooner or later. Meixin, you should take more care with Sheng's matters in the future. You are the elder sister, and normally, should be more indulgent towards him. Let him feel a sense of belonging to the company without interfering too much in his work.

"In the future, the group will belong to you young people. It's important that family members support each other, so that the journey can be smoother and go further…"

What could Meixin say? She could only agree passively, but inside, she was even more shocked.

That scum, Su Sheng, had he saved the world in his past life? Why was his life so good? Listening to her grandfather, it was clear he was set for grooming.

Yet knowing the character of Su Sheng, if one day he really made it to a high position in the company, the scenario was too beautiful to even imagine.

"Alright, I won't keep you busy any longer. Visit home when you have time."

"Yes, Grandfather, I definitely will."

After hanging up, Meixin struggled to calm her emotions for a long time, until the sound of knocking arose and her secretary came in.

"Manager Li, Mr. Su's office has been arranged. Additionally, there's something I would like to report."

The saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a single marriage, but as a boss's secretary, you can't just watch the boss fall into a pit of fire, right?

Thus, the middle-aged secretary relayed what the security manager had said earlier, emphasizing that Su Sheng had entered the elevator with the young lady from the reception on the third floor.

"Smack!"

Meixin slammed the desk right then and there.

So that was Su Sheng, hitting on women on his first day at work and even making her take the blame. It wouldn't even take till noon for her identity as Su Sheng's elder cousin to spread throughout the company.

The crucial issue was that she had no idea until yesterday that there could be such a scum cousin in her life. Was this some divine punishment, jealousy from the heavens?

"Sister Jiang, notify HR and Administration. Su Sheng's position is as the integrated technical supervisor of the marketing department, and his onboarding process needs to be expedited."

Unsatisfied, Meixin added, "Additionally, announce that not limited to the marketing department, but including other departments, whoever is too busy, whether they need technical or physical support, can seek his help. Yes, that's right, and make sure you publish Su Sheng's contact information as well."

The middle-aged secretary understood immediately.

The boss must be under pressure or threats, or perhaps it was a karmic debt, forcing her to keep Su Sheng in the company. But she did not want to let him off easily, hence the conspiratorial punishment. She had to handle the matter perfectly to make up for the lack of work efficiency today.

Soon, when the HR manager received the notice and confirmed that Su Sheng was already a level 5 supervisor, even with mental preparation, she couldn't help but marvel at the strength of such nepotism.

Was truly treated like a supervisor from the start, without even a probation period. Why not just shoot for the stars?

At the same time, Zijun also received the news, her unparalleled beauty furrowing.

This cousin, was she really helping? She had just arrived and given Su Sheng a managerial position, purely causing trouble. How would they control him in the future?
