Chapter 111 All are members of the Su family
In a mountainous city, there is an unfinished building.
Three men dressed in black sat together, with a strange jade pendant on the table in the middle.
The jade pendant emitted an unusual light, its brightness flickering and changing from bright to dim.
"Something happened to the fourth brother."
One of the men in black spoke in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the jade pendant on the table flashed with a last glimmer of light, then dimmed and became no different from an ordinary jade pendant.
These three were the Four Evils of Shancheng from the Yanyang Sect. Originally, the four of them operated as a group in Shancheng.
Each person has a corresponding jade pendant, managed by the leader of the Four Evils of the Mountain City. The jade pendant itself emits light, representing that person's safety.
When the jade pendant becomes dull and loses its luster, it signifies the person's death.
"The employer didn't even tell us the target's name for the last mission, just a portrait," the leading man in black said in a somber voice.
Another man in black slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "What information did the fourth brother find out? I'm going to avenge him!"
The remaining person said, "Leave it to the third brother. He's meticulous and has excellent methods!"
"The person identified from the portrait is named Lin Fan, but based on the information, he's just a useless son-in-law," the leading man said.
"A useless son-in-law? Is the employer playing us?" the third son asked suspiciously.
The second brother waved his hand: "No, the employer doesn't even know this person's name yet, so there's no reason for them to mess with us, especially since they gave a deposit of 100 million."
"Leave it to me, Lin Fan! I'll make him pay for his crimes in blood!" the third brother said fiercely.
The leader of the men in black placed his hand on the shoulder of the "third brother": "I trust you to handle things, but the opponent is no weaker than the fourth brother, so be careful!"
Su family villa.
Su Ruowei entered the living room, where the old lady sat high in a grand chair, her hands resting on her cane.
Su Jianqiang stood behind the old lady, looking at Su Ruowei with a sly grin.
Only then did Su Ruowei realize that the so-called house arrest was just something they said to others.
"Come sit down!" The old lady gestured for Su Ruowei to sit on the sofa.
At the same time Su Ruowei sat down, Su Jianqiang said sarcastically, "My cousin is truly the pride of the Su family. Not only is she in charge of our Su family's cooperation with the Shancheng Group, but she also won a big prize from the Shancheng Group yesterday."
"Thank you for the compliment." Su Ruowei pursed her lips.
Su Jianqiang paced forward, saying as he walked, "But my cousin is still a member of the Su family, no matter what."
The old lady then spoke up: "Ruowei has indeed done a good job. The project between our Su family and Shancheng Group has a monthly profit of 500 million, and this is just the beginning."
Su Ruowei was trembling with fear, and a few drops of sweat had already seeped from her forehead.
The old lady and Su Jianqiang kept referring to the Su family, their words serving as a constant reminder to Su Ruowei that she would always be a member of the Su family.
Su Jianqiang sat down next to Su Ruowei: "Shouldn't the Su family head stay at the villa on the top of Lingjueding? That would also demonstrate the strength of our Su family."
"But," Su Ruo muttered softly.
"But what 'but'? If Grandma isn't allowed to live in the Lingjueding villa, are you suggesting your family live there? You're not even worthy of living in the Lingjueding villa!" Su Jianqiang said disdainfully.
"Ruowei, this is for your own good. If I don't stay at the villa on the top of Lingjueding, outsiders will say that you are disloyal and unfilial."
The old lady smiled and said, "Moreover, it will be good for our business if the Su family moves to the top of Lingjue Peak. As the Su family's status rises, your status, Su Ruowei, will also rise accordingly!"
"It's settled then! Ruowei, bring me the keys to the villa after you get it!" The old lady's tone left no room for argument.
"What are you standing there for? Go back, it's none of your business! Grandma needs to go back to sleep," Su Jianqiang said.
Su Ruowei left the Su family villa and stood by the roadside for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
Overnight, they fell from heaven back to earth.
Just now, Fang Minjun and Su Jianqiang used both soft and hard tactics, and Su Ruowei didn't even have a chance to say a word.
What they said seemed reasonable—they were all members of the Su family, and Su Ruowei could only prosper if the Su family prospered—but that wasn't the case.
Although the Su family wasn't considered a top-tier family before, they were still the envy of ordinary people. However, the four members of Su Ruowei's family lived on Su Ruowei's meager salary. Even after becoming the project manager and earning 500 million yuan in profit per month, Su Ruowei still only received a fixed salary.
"What did I do wrong?" Su Ruowei's eyes welled up with tears.
As dawn broke, the cold morning wind blew against Su Ruowei, causing her to shiver.
Su Ruowei squatted down by the roadside and hugged her knees to keep warm.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Su Ruowei started sobbing, and when she was tired from crying and sleepy, she fell asleep squatting down.
"So faint, so faint!"
Su Ruowei faintly heard Lin Fan's shouts, slowly opened her eyes, and saw Lin Fan standing beside her, reaching out his hand to her.
Lin Fan pulled Su Ruowei up and felt a pang of heartache when he saw her makeup ruined by tears.
"Get in the car, don't catch a cold!"
"Lin Fan!"
Su Ruowei didn't get into the car immediately, but instead hugged Lin Fan and cried her heart out.
Lin Fan stroked Su Ruowei's hair: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Mmm!" Su Ruowei said, sounding like a wronged child.
The sobbing gradually subsided until it disappeared, but Su Ruowei still occasionally let out a sniffle.
The two got into the car, and Su Ruowei told Lin Fan everything that had just happened.
At that moment, Su Ruowei's phone rang.
Upon answering, she learned that it was a call from Shancheng Group, instructing Su Ruowei to go to the Shancheng Group building at 10:00 AM to pick up the villa and complete the transfer procedures.
Lin Fan looked at the time; it was only a little before eight in the morning.
"Are you hungry? Let me take you to get something to eat first," Lin Fan said.
Su Ruowei nodded while wiping away her tears.
Lin Fan felt a surge of emotion when he saw Su Ruowei's pitiful appearance.
"Ruowei, break away from the Su family and start your own company!" Lin Fan suddenly said.
Su Ruowei never thought of leaving the Su family. She just wanted to make a name for herself and prove her abilities to Fang Minjun. But now, Lin Fan's question has made her waver.
Even becoming the project manager for the Shancheng Group couldn't earn Fang Minjun's favor. Su Ruowei really didn't know what achievements she needed to make to gain a foothold in the Su family.
"I'll think about it," Su Ruowei said.
Lin Fan gripped the steering wheel, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "If you've thought it over, I'd be willing to be President Su's first investor."
“After we finish eating, we’ll go to Shancheng Group. After we complete the formalities, I’ll take you to the company, and I’ll go deliver the keys to the old lady. Maybe if I can persuade her, she can keep the villa,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
A smile finally appeared on Su Ruowei's face. She was very happy with what Lin Fan said. She stopped thinking about the villa. After all, she was still young and had a long road ahead of her. If things didn't work out, she could just start her own business with Lin Fan.
She knew Fang Minjun's temper well, and she was afraid that even threatening to terminate the cooperation with Shancheng Group would not change her mind.
What was the old lady's lifelong dedication to building her business for? And what was her purpose in attaching herself to the Shancheng Group?
It's all for face, to make others look up to her! To look up to the Su family! And in Shancheng City, the most prestigious thing is nothing more than moving into the villa at the top of Lingjueding. Now the opportunity is within her grasp. If she can move in, the old lady would rather give up all her cooperation, even if she just stays in the villa and does nothing but retire, it would be worth it.
