Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 173 New Boss
Nan Wu's eyes widened in astonishment. "What did you say? Last time I was kidnapped..."

Qian Ke'er openly admitted, "That's right, I did it. What can you do about it? You were lucky last time, but next time, you might not be so lucky. So, you'd better pray that you'll have good luck every time!"

Nan Wu bit her lip, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks. "Why? We're both women, why are you doing this to me?"

"Ugh! Disgusting! All you do is cry, cry, cry! Do you really think everyone falls for your act? Elsa, tell her to shut up!"

Qian Ke'er made a gesture, and Aisha walked up and, without saying a word, slapped her twice across the face.

Nan Wu was beaten senseless, and Xiao's employees who happened to be passing by gathered around to watch the spectacle.

As the eldest daughter of the Nan family, Nan Wu had never received such attention before. Being slapped in front of everyone was an immense humiliation for a girl, especially since she was emotionally fragile and simply could not accept it.

"This is just a warning. The real fun is yet to come. Just wait, Su Ying, I'm going to slowly torture you to death and make you kneel on the ground and beg me for forgiveness!"

With that, Qian Ke'er ignored the whispers around her and led her men away arrogantly.

"Isn't this the daughter-in-law who just entered the Xiao family?"

"Yes, yes, I think her name is Nan Wu. She's quite pretty. Seeing her in person today, she really is!"

"Who was that guy just now? He went way too far! Look how badly he beat him! That's outrageous!"

"Miss, how are you? Should we take you to the hospital?"

Nan Wu pushed herself up from the ground, trying her best to cover her face so no one could see it. Without saying a word, she ran away with red eyes.

Being beaten in public is worse than being killed. However, all of this was caused by Su Ying. Why should others bear the consequences of her evil deeds?
"Mom, I can't take it anymore! How could this happen? Why are they doing this to me? I'm going to tell them right now that the Nan Wu they knew was fake, and if they want to settle scores, they should go after Su Ying. I'm the victim!"

Nan Wu ran to Fang Lanxin to accuse Su Ying of her crimes. Fang Lanxin hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her. "Xiao Wu, I know how much you've suffered, but now is not the time. You need to understand that if the Xiao family finds out we've tricked them, they will be furious. By then, without the Nan family, who will be your protector?"

"But……"

Fang Lanxin smoothed her daughter's long hair. "Xiao Wu, all of this is for your own good. As for Qian Ke'er, you are the eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family. What can she do if she doesn't like you? She wouldn't dare to do anything to you. Once she gets bored, she naturally won't make things difficult for you!"

Nan Wu nodded, thinking that what she said made some sense. "I hope so..."

If Xiao Shen can protect her, then let's see who dares to bully her in the future.

Su Ying has officially started working at Meng's, and President Meng has taken good care of her. In just two days, she has become familiar with the work environment.

Shen Qingfeng would often call to ask about her work experience, and would even surprise her by suddenly appearing in front of her with delicious food and drinks, making her feel like a student sneaking snacks in class.

But this period of peace lasted only a couple of days before a major event occurred at the Meng family: the Meng family was acquired overnight.

The business was running perfectly fine just the day before, and then it was acquired without warning. The whole thing happened so suddenly that no one could accept it.

Mr. Meng first apologized to everyone, and then said, "I did this for the better development of the company in the future. Moreover, even though the company is now owned by someone else, I guarantee that as long as you don't leave, everyone will be the same as before. And your new boss said that in order to motivate everyone's work enthusiasm and for the future development of the company, everyone's annual salary will increase by 20%, the year-end bonus will be doubled, and the annual leave will be doubled!"

The previously somber atmosphere erupted into a frenzy after those last few words, with everyone cheering as if they'd won the lottery. Su Ying wasn't sure why President Meng had sold the company, but judging from the current situation, it seemed everyone was benefiting. She was just one of many employees; it didn't matter who she worked for, and besides, with such attractive benefits, probably no one would leave.

In the office, Su Ying helped President Meng pack his luggage. President Meng kept sighing with reluctance, and recounted the process of establishing the company as if he were an old acquaintance.

"Xiao Su, although you've only been with me for a few days, I can tell you're a very capable person. I believe that under your new boss's leadership, you will definitely shine in this company. After all, you were entrusted to me by Qingfeng. If you don't have a good time here in the future, just give me a call, and I'll arrange a better company for you!"

Su Ying gave him a grateful smile, "Thank you, President Meng!"

The day after President Meng left, the new boss arrived.

The whole company is talking about the new boss. "I heard from President Meng that the new boss is a bald old man, but he's incredibly rich. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so audacious as to acquire our Meng Group!"

"Huh? An old man? But what if I'm obsessed with looks?"

"Who cares if they're ugly or handsome? The important thing is that they're willing to raise our wages. These days, a good boss is one who's willing to spend money on his employees!"

"Hey Assistant Su, why are you still busy? Hurry up, the new boss is arriving soon, and the company's management team is all gathered here waiting to welcome this big shot!"

Su Ying was also pulled downstairs. Indeed, as the general manager's assistant, she would have to serve this big shot wholeheartedly in the future, so she needed to get familiar with him first and get a lot of positive reviews to avoid being harassed in the future.

"Everyone, the big boss is here, so get ready!" At the command of a female executive, everyone stood up straight and beamed with smiles.

Soon, a black Mercedes with the license plate "Hai" came to a smooth stop. The company security guards immediately jogged over and respectfully opened the rear door.

Immediately following was a chorus of exclamations.

"My God! Is this the bald old man we were talking about? He's clearly a rare handsome guy!"

"This face is amazing! Even if I don't get a single penny of salary, I'd still be willing to stay here!"

"Is our boss a former male celebrity who came here to film a variety show and experience life on the side?"

"Here it comes, here it comes, stop talking!"

"Assistant Su, stop playing on your phone, the big boss is here!"

Su Wen messaged Su Ying asking how her new boss was. "No, I can't back out now!" Su Ying had already typed half her reply when she heard her colleague's reminder and looked up.

A familiar face came into view.

pat!

The phone fell to the ground, and her breath caught in her throat, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Why is he here?
