Twenty-four hour personal secretary…
Su Ziyue repeated the words in her head and her face turned red. Pushing Qin Muchen aside, she exclaimed, "There's no such position!"
"This used to be Nan Chuan's position, but he's now busy with managing Lumiere Jade House and I need someone to fill that spot. I might as well give the position to you rather than others."
He spoke in a magnanimous tone, as if he was really giving a huge advantage to her.
She cried out in surprise and then lowered her voice. "Does this mean you’ve agreed?"
Raising his eyebrow, he asked, "What did I agree to?"
"Earlier, you-"
He interjected her and what he said next made her speechless. "Earlier, I said that I'll agree to anything if you perform well."
For the sake of her best friend's job, Su Ziyue did her best to perform well.
In the end, she almost became paralyzed while he was extremely satisfied.
After they were done, he even teased her. "Actually, I only wanted to test you, and I didn't think that you would go along with it. Even if you didn’t perform well, I would have agreed to your request."
Was he playing the innocent card now after taking advantage of her?
He must have done it on purpose.
Sulking, she pulled the blankets over and wrapped it around herself tightly.
In a rare unashamed act which was out of his character, Qin Muchen pulled the blanket away from her and patiently coaxed her. Only then did she reluctantly let him off.
After she was done changing, he snatched her phone away from her hand when she was about to give An Xia a call about this matter.
"Don't tell her about this yet. Let me arrange a position for her before you do so. In the afternoon, let's make a trip to the Su residence."
Regarding what he said about An Xia, she gave it a thought and agreed with him, but she couldn't understand the latter part of what he just said.
"Why are we going to the Su residence?" Frowning, she asked, "Did my grandpa call you?"
A profound look flashed across his face. "Looks like he gave you a call as well."
"He did call me on the phone," she said, looking a little upset.
"Okay," he uttered in a low voice and didn't say anything afterward.

In the afternoon, Qin Muchen drove the car out of the garage and was about to go to the Su residence with Su Ziyue.
However, she realized that she had left her phone in the house after getting into the car, so she immediately hopped off to retrieve it.
He watched her back until she had entered the villa before he took out his phone, searched in his contacts and gave Bai Shujing a call.
He only told him one thing. "Did you know that Ms. An has resigned from Su Group?"
"Really?" His voice carried excitement as he spoke.
Couldn't be bothered with him, Qin Muchen hung up the call directly after that.
"Hello?" Bai Shujing asked over the dead dial tone a couple more times before hanging up.
He took back everything he said that day—their brotherhood would remain for the rest of their lives!
At the end of the day, Qin Muchen still had his interests at heart.
On the other end, Qin Muchen felt at ease when he saw Su Ziyue running out of the villa in a pink coat.
Yes, he believed that Bai Shujing could successfully bring An Xia into Yunteng. If that happened, An Xia wouldn't have that much free time to look for his wife anymore…

When both of them arrived at the gates of Su residence, a servant went to inform Su Youcheng. So, when they went into the house, he was already waiting for them in the hall.
"You're here." His voice was full of the authority fitting of a head of the family as he sat there.
Without saying a word, Su Ziyue turned to look at Qin Muchen, wondering why he would come and meet Su Youcheng.
"Since Mr. Su already took the initiative to call my wife, it would be disrespectful if we didn’t come and visit you," Qin Muchen replied mildly as he looked up at Su Youcheng, whose expression kept changing when he heard those words.
"Take a seat," he invited and watched them take a seat with a neutral face before he continued insightfully. "I have your interests at heart for asking you to come here. We're a family after all, and I don't wish for things to turn ugly between us."
Hearing his words, a look of ridicule flashed across Su Ziyue's face.
Did he still remember that they were a family?
"So… What do you mean, Mr. Su?" Qin Muchen asked Su Youcheng. His face was serious, as if he was really considering his words.
Su Youcheng seemed satisfied with his reaction. "Ask the senior management to show some leeway for the development project in the west. Let me have that project and I'll clear the court case for you. What do you think?" he said with a crafty look as he gazed at him with brilliant eyes.
This young man was getting more and more unreadable—from the first time he met him until the last time when he ruined his development project, which he had tried so hard to obtain, with a phone call…
Even until now, he still couldn't find out his background.
Was he really that good in covering his personal details or did he really have no background and relied on luck every time?
Looking as if he was caught in a difficult situation, Qin Muchen showed a thoughtful face and said, "I'll need to consider this."
Noticing that he was having a thoughtful look, Su Youcheng narrowed his sharp eyes. "Don't take too long, then. The Gong family doesn't have a lot of patience."
Even Su Ziyue could understand the threat which was hidden in his words.
Nodding solemnly, Qin Muchen then added, "I would like to help Ziyue take some stuff from upstairs. If you're busy, please go ahead with your business."
"Alright, go ahead." Although his tone was mild, his eyes were glinting dangerously.
When he finished speaking, Qin Muchen led Su Ziyue upstairs.
Seeing their backs, Su Youcheng's brows furrowed deeply! He was even more confused now because Qin Muchen had seemed so amicable.
Initially, he merely wanted to feel out Qin Muchen's background. If he really had a formidable background, he would never have agreed to come no matter what.
But now, not only did he come, but he also said he would think about his suggestion.
In Su Youcheng's opinion, by saying that he would think about it, it was as good as agreeing to it.

Qin Muchen led Su Ziyue straight to her room.
The moment they entered, she hurriedly released his hand and asked, "What's happening?"
"What do you mean by that?" He looked around the room while he spoke.
Then he started picking up things—magazines which were precious to Su Ziyue and some other stuff she had used.
As those things had been used by her when she was in her teens, looking at it now, many of them seemed very childish.
She was rather speechless as she followed behind him, watching as he appeared like he wanted to take everything with him.
"What do you want, actually?"
"To bring your stuff away," he replied simply without even turning around.
"What's the use of these things?" She did not bring these things with her back then because they weren't important to her.
"They have no use," he told her indifferently as he flipped through her highschool notebook and chuckled. "But all these things belong to you."
All these things were witnesses of her teenage years which he never participated in.
