chapter 20 There is a problem at the top

Although Allen Chen hadn't poured tea for her, he had spoken up on her behalf. Otherwise, Team Leader Tang might not have noticed that she was on her period, let alone asked someone to make tea for her. "Please have some tea." Tim came over with a tea tray and handed a cup to Team Leader Tang, Allen Chen, and Zoe Su. Then he turned to interrogate the sleazy guy who had just woken up. Although he had an ordinary appearance, he was highly efficient and a man of few words, always trusted by Team Leader Tang. After taking the statement, Allen Chen finally learned the name of Team Leader Tang: Mia Tang. After taking a look at the personal information, Mia Tang said, "So you are members of the sales department of Ruian Group." "Yes," Allen Chen nodded. Mia Tang looked around, then leaned in and whispered to Allen Chen, "I'll give you a piece of advice. Some high-level executives at the Ruian Group have connections with certain criminal organizations. You'd better find a new company as soon as possible." "Mm?" Allen Chen's pupils shrank. This was significant information! He wanted to inquire further, but Mia Tang returned to her seat and her demeanor turned cold. "You can leave now." "Team Leader Tang..." "It's getting late, please don't linger outside. I don't want to see you two again tonight," Mia Tang interrupted, clearly unwilling to continue. "No matter what the reason is." Seeing her attitude, Allen Chen understood that he wouldn't be able to get more information from her at the moment. He dismissed the thought and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Team Leader Tang." "In the near future, I will be promoted. When that happens, if you need any help, Team Leader Tang, you can call me anytime." "Oh?" Mia Tang glanced at his personal information again. An ordinary old employee like Allen Chen, how high could he be promoted? She nonchalantly replied, "If there's a chance, I'll look for you." "Team Leader Tang, I'm waiting for your call," Allen Chen smiled and walked towards the door of the Public Safety Office. Walking out of the door, Zoe Su asked, "What kind of secret were you discussing with Team Leader Tang just now?" "Have I ever asked you what your identity is?" Allen Chen looked at her and smiled. Zoe Su was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I understand what you mean. But, how do you plan to go back?" "I'm not going back. I'll find a nearby hotel and stay for the night," Allen Chen yawned. The events of today had been overwhelming. If he didn't rest soon, he felt like he would collapse. After all, when a man reached his thirties, there were some hidden hardships that only he knew. Zoe Su hesitated and asked, "Isn't it unsafe to stay in a hotel?" "If you don't mind, you can sleep in my apartment tonight." "Is this convenient?" Allen Chen naturally agreed. This would not only advance their relationship but also save the cost of a hotel, which was a win-win situation. Zoe Su nodded and said, "Get in the car." "Thanks." "What are you thanking me for? Consider it a way to repay you for saving my life," Zoe Su smiled. She wasn't so trusting of all men. Based on what had happened in the public restroom, if Allen Chen had ill intentions, he could have acted then. There was no need to wait until they reached the apartment. When they arrived at the apartment complex's entrance, Allen Chen was taken aback. "Do you live here?" "Yes." "Is this Seven Star Gardens?" "Yes. Isn't the sign hanging right there?" Zoe Su looked at him strangely. "Are you too tired?" "I am indeed tired," Allen Chen smiled bitterly. Seven Star Gardens was the only apartment complex in Hai City where the property prices were higher than those of suburban villas. A single apartment here would cost at least as much as two regular villas. Hence, people jokingly referred to the residents here as 'low-profile wealthy people.' Zoe Su seemed unaware of this and thought he was just tired. "Let's go inside." "Okay," Allen Chen took a deep breath and followed her inside. Zoe Su opened the door and said, "You can sleep in the guest room over there, is that okay?" "Sure," Allen Chen walked into the guest room. Although it was only 20 square meters in size, it was well-equipped with high-quality bedding. When he lay down, it felt like he had entered a tender world as if he were being served by hundreds of beautiful women, and he soon fell into a deep sleep. Zoe Su had just charged her phone and walked to the door to say a few more words to him. But when she saw him sleeping so soundly, she couldn't help but mutter, "Is this guy a pig? How can he sleep like this?" After saying that, she burst out laughing. Suddenly, her phone rang, and she hurriedly closed the guest room door and ran to the sofa to answer the phone. "Hello, Dad." "Zoe, are you okay?" A stern male voice came from the phone, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a hint of concern within the sternness. Zoe Su shook her head. "I'm fine." "Your grandfather called earlier and said you might encounter unexpected circumstances tonight. He told you not to leave home," the middle-aged man said. "I've been trying to call you, and I couldn't get through. Are you really okay?" Zoe Su's face changed as she remembered the fortune-telling and the events of the day. Wasn't that an unexpected circumstance? "Yes, I did encounter something, but it turned out for the better," she said. "That's good," the middle-aged man sighed in relief. "In a few days, it'll be the weekend. You will also have a day off, right?" "Yes." "In that case, I'm coming to Hai City for some business. We'll have a private father-daughter gathering when I'm there. Otherwise, your grandfather won't be at ease." "Okay, Dad," Zoe Su nodded. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Alright, you get some rest. I'll hang up now." "Mr. Su," the butler came over and whispered, "Young Master Tony Zhou is here. Will you see him?" "It's so late, you tell him that I fell asleep." "Okay." "Wait. Tell him that I will go to Hai City to meet my daughter the day after tomorrow," Mr. Su instructed the butler, “He should understand what I mean." "Yes, Mr. Su," the butler nodded and went to meet the young man outside the villa. It was clear that Mr. Su was giving Tony Zhou an opportunity. Tony Zhou was most likely the future son-in-law of the Su family. As a butler of the Su family, he had to get close to the future son-in-law as early as possible. The next morning, Allen Chen and Zoe Su arrived at the company at the same time, and a group of people immediately stared at them. "Whoa, what's going on between them?" "Could they be dating now?" "Why are you all so nosy?" Allen Chen shot a cold glance at these people. The crowd's expressions changed, and they mumbled to themselves for a moment, then lowered their heads. My goodness, when did Allen Chen become so imposing? "I'm sorry, I should have come in later," Allen Chen turned around and said apologetically. Zoe Su looked at him and said, "It's okay, I don't mind." "I'm going to work, and you should be busy too." "Sure," Allen Chen smiled and went towards Ben Dong's office. Early in the morning, Ben Dong was in a very good mood. He took a bottle of wine that had been stored for three years and was worth 40,000 dollars from the cabinet. He stared at Ava Liu and said, "Finally, Allen Chen has been killed. Let's celebrate." "Mr. Dong, you're so good to me." As she looked at the bottle of wine, Ava Liu's eyes glittered with a greedy gleam. Her ambition was to gain power by attaching herself to influential figures! A bottle of red wine worth 40,000 dollars made her feel very satisfied! But the next moment, Allen Chen walked in.
