Chapter 100: Chapter 100: The Beautiful Spokeswoman
At that moment, Lin Suâer was even more terrified. She had initially hoped that the other party had not recognized her, but now she realized that Chen Zixu had indeed recognized her. For a while, she didnât know what to say.
Chen Zixu rubbed his hands together and said, "This... as soon as I saw you, I knew you were a kind-hearted person, so... could you do me a favor and plead with that man who was with you yesterday? I truly realize my mistake now, and I beg him not to hold it against me."
For Chen Zixu, speaking like this was quite extraordinary.
Lin Suâerâs eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Zixu, saying, "Are you asking me to... speak well of you?"
"Yes, yes! Hereâs my business card. You can feel him out a bit and see what he wants, and maybe speak some good words for me... ahem, rest assured, if you help me settle this, I definitely wonât let you go unrewarded."
Lin Suâer finally realized that Chen Zixu was pleading with her. She immediately recalled the words Song Xiaodong had said yesterday and glanced subconsciously at the area between Chen Zixuâs legs.
For a man, having a beautiful woman look there should be quite enjoyable, but Chen Zixu only felt embarrassed and awkward. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Young lady, please, you mustnât speak of this matter to others. Otherwise, Iâd lose all face."
"Pfft!" Lin Suâer couldnât help but laugh out loud. Then she lifted her chin and puffed out her chest, saying, "You had it coming for bullying us yesterday. You deserve it."
Doctor Cao was startled and quickly said, "Lin Suâer, what kind of attitude is this?"
Chen Zixu hurriedly said, "Itâs alright, itâs alright. Lin Suâer, thatâs your name, right? Iâve got it memorized. If you ever have a problem you canât solve, just give me a call, and I, Chen Zixu, will handle it perfectly for you."
Lin Suâer blinked with a hint of pride and said, "Since you seem to be sincerely admitting your mistake, I wonât hold it against you. But I can only try my best. Iâll pass on the message for you, but as for how it will turn out in the end, I have no idea."
Chen Zixu ingratiatively said, "Youâre with him, so you must be very close. Your words will definitely carry weight."
Chen Zixuâs flattery hit the spot. Lin Suâer felt rather pleased with herself and said, "Okay then, Iâll give it a try. But you canât go around bullying people from now on; otherwise, I wonât speak favorably of you."
Chen Zixu hastily said, "I wonât, I wonât. From now on, I will mend my ways and become a better person."
Lin Suâer then said, "Alright then, wait for my call." After that, she walked away, swaying her slender waist.
Doctor Cao was utterly baffled, the corners of his mouth twitching as he said to Chen Zixu, "Young Master Chen, what kind of play are you putting on? Youâre not going to tell me that youâre trying to pursue her, are you? Because... let me tell you... Iâm quite interested in her, so itâs better if you donât compete with me."
Chen Zixu turned to look at Doctor Cao and then grinned, saying, "I advise you to better not set your sights on her."
"Young Master Chen, that doesnât seem very nice. Youâre not lacking for beautiful women around you. Iâve finally taken a fancy to one, and you..."
"Get lost. I, Chen Zixu, wouldnât compete with you for any woman. If I wanted women, Iâd have a whole queue of them. But this beauty probably already belongs to someone, and that someone is not someone you can afford to provoke. Donât say I didnât warn you. If you end up suffering, I wonât be able to help you."
After saying that, Chen Zixu also turned and quickly walked away.
Doctor Cao was even more confused. From the way Chen Zixu spoke, it seemed like he was also afraid of someone. Who was so formidable that even Chen Zixu was afraid? In this city, there didnât seem to be that many such people, right?
It seemed that Lin Suâer would know. Doctor Cao quickly walked after her.
"Nurse Lin, what exactly did Chen Zixu ask you to do for him just now?"
Lin Suâer had been rather intimidated by Cao Mingxian, after all, she was just an intern nurse, and Cao Mingxian was a doctor. A single word from him could very well determine her future.
But now even Chen Zixu was afraid of her, asking her to plead on his behalf. Suddenly, she felt her confidence surge. With a slight smile to Cao Mingxian, she said, "Itâs just a little thing."
"A little thing? How capable Chen Zixu is, and he would ask you for help over a âlittle thingâ? Let me tell you, donât be fooled by him. The girls around him change faster than a revolving lantern."
Lin Suâer pursed her lips and chuckled. "No, really, Doctor Cao, you shouldnât worry about it, itâs just a little thing."
Cao Mingxian couldnât extract any information from Lin Suâer and was even more puzzled. What exactly was the deal between Chen Zixu and Lin Suâer? They both seemed pretty abnormal today.
Lin Suâer slipped into the stairwell, avoiding others, and then she called Song Xiaodong.
"Brother Dongzi!" After having a meal together yesterday, Lin Suâerâs way of addressing Song Xiaodong had changed.
"Suâer, whatâs up?" Song Xiaodong yawned.
Lin Suâer asked in surprise, "Brother Dongzi, you havenât gotten up yet?"
"Yeah, I drank too much last night and slept in a bit today."
"Who told you to drink so much." Lin Suâer said somewhat coquettishly before quickly becoming excited, "Brother Dongzi, I just ran into Chen Zixu from yesterday."
"Oh, did he go to the hospital for a checkup? Hehe, he must have looked pretty miserable."
"Yes, yes, when I saw him, he looked so crestfallen, pfft, Brother Dongzi, youâre so mean, you actually made him... cough cough..." Lin Suâer was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
"With people like him, if you donât keep them in check, they will surely come back to trouble you."
"Yes, yes, thatâs true, he wasnât nearly as fierce as yesterday when he saw me today. He was so polite when he spoke to me and even begged me to plead with you, hoping you would let him off and treat his condition."
"Haha... well then, you should string him along and make him cough up a bit more."
Lin Suâer immediately replied, "I wouldnât know how to do that, and besides, as a girl, discussing how to treat that kind of disease with him would be so embarrassing."
Song Xiaodong burst out laughing again, "Alright then, just tell him I havenât calmed down yet, and he should hold on for now. Iâll consider it when Iâm in a better mood one day."
Lin Suâer nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, mhm, okay."
Song Xiaodong laughed again, "And if he offers you any benefits, donât be shy, just accept them."
"Is... is that okay?"
"Whatâs wrong with that? If thereâs anything you need, feel free to ask him for it. Doubt he would dare refuse."
"Mhm!" Lin Suâer hesitated for a moment, but then agreed, feeling exceedingly sweet inside. Song Xiaodongâs words implied he was letting her speak on his behalf.
