Chapter 8 Is President Su Sick?

Su Ningshuang raised her face, which was looking at the documents, and saw Lin Shi's somewhat humble movements. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly, but it looked a little stiff. She quickly pursed her lips, frowned, and remained silent.

Lin Shi waited for a moment, and a question mark appeared above his head.

Why didn't he say anything or give any instructions after we called him in?

"President Su?"

Lin Shi spoke first, wanting to test Su Ning Shuang's attitude.

Su Ningshuang looked at Lin Shi, opened her mouth but didn't say anything, as if she had some unspeakable private matter.

Lin Shi's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Su Ningshuang very seriously.

This is clearly not a business matter; it's a personal matter.

In the workplace, to tell whether you are your boss's confidant, you need to see if your boss assigns you personal tasks.

An excellent subordinate who wants a promotion and a raise needs to take the initiative to solve problems for their superiors.

The best are those who can provide answers in advance, without even needing their superiors to ask. This is also the goal Lin Shi has always strived for.

Lin Shi continued to look at Su Ning Shuang, at her somewhat pale face, and then at her furrowed brows, and began to wonder why she had been called in:

Financial problems? Unlikely. Although he seems to be idle most of the time, he pays close attention to the group's financial affairs in order to realize his dream of making money to go abroad. In particular, Su Ningshuang recently reached a cooperation agreement with a top celebrity in Kyoto. The contract will be finalized in a few days, and the stock price will probably skyrocket again.

It's unlikely to be a family problem either. The Su family is known for its harmony. Once, when Su's mother was in a car accident and suffered minor injuries, Su's father immediately suspended the company meeting and went to handle the situation personally. This is still talked about today.

Lin Shi secretly glanced up at Su Ningshuang's alluring face again, continuing to ponder:

President Su is really handsome, so could it be a forced marriage? Or is a childhood betrothal on the way? Or perhaps the Dragon King or the legendary healer descending the mountain? But isn't Liu Ruyan just another character with the same old tropes? Could it be that the incompetent author couldn't think of any new plot points and is just resorting to another family trope?

Or perhaps, is it due to physical discomfort?

My complexion looks a bit pale today, and my brows are furrowed.

Lin Shi, quickly think of all the novels you've read before. Find a solution!

Urban setting, beautiful woman, white hair.

White...white...clean?

Lin Shi suddenly raised his hand and pinched his thigh hard, bringing his thoughts back on track. He continued to think.

The King of Soldiers returns, the Dragon King reigns for three years, and the domineering CEO...

Suddenly, the trope of urban miracle doctors popped up: the classic pairing of a cold, aloof female CEO and a young, gifted doctor from the mountains. Maybe it even connects to a childhood betrothal.

Lin Shi thought about it more and more and felt it was extremely likely, so he decided to ask one last time.

Seeing Lin Shi lower his head and remain silent, his expression changing every few seconds, Su Ningshuang was about to speak when she saw him suddenly brace himself on the desk with both hands, lean forward, and look at her "affectionately":

"Mr. Su, are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at Lin Shi's "affectionate" gaze and his body that was quite close to hers.

Su Ningshuang even felt a little breathless, her heart skipped a beat, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white, and her body shifted back slightly due to her unease.

Why are you so concerned about my health? And you even said you'd help me? We're not even that close yet, isn't this a bit too much? Could it be that you've actually fallen for me? I might have that thought myself, but isn't this all too fast?

A slight blush rose to her cheeks, her thoughts were in turmoil, and she nodded unconsciously.

Lin Shi continued to look at Su Ning Shuang with the eyes of a concerned friend. She was breathing rapidly, her face was abnormally flushed, and she was frowning because of pain. Look, her little hands were clenched white from the pain. She was obviously seriously ill.

I suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. She's usually so efficient and decisive at work, but in private, she even endures discomfort.

Lin Shi took a deep breath, deciding not to pursue further details about the illness to avoid embarrassing the president.

Anyway, in urban fantasy novels, the "miracle doctor" can cure anything. If someone is about to die, a few acupuncture needles can instantly restore them to full health, like a purification process. There are practically no limitations.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi suddenly took a step back, stood ramrod straight, and his expression was more serious and reliable than ever before.

"President Su, don't worry, I will definitely help you solve your problem."

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and rushed out of the office like a gust of wind, his footsteps quickly disappearing in the direction of the elevator.

Su Ningshuang was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of the door closing. She stared blankly at the doorway where he had disappeared, her hand raised halfway, but the words of pleading stuck in her throat.

I had no idea what was happening, when I got sick, or why I suddenly needed to see a doctor.

Just then, the phone screen on the desktop lit up, as a new message brought the phone back to life from standby mode:

Mother Sue 9:08:

"I heard you had dinner alone with a young man yesterday? When would be a convenient time to bring him home so Mom can see him?"

Su Ningshuang 9:08:

"Mom, don't make wild guesses. It's just a regular work lunch."

Mother Sue 9:09:

"Okay, okay, work lunch. Can you come home for dinner this weekend? Mom will cook."

Su Ningshuang 9:09:

"I'll think about it. It's really just a meal, don't overthink it, and don't ask any unnecessary questions later."

Mother Sue 9:13:

"Okay, okay. Just let me know in advance when you've set the time~"

Meanwhile, Lin Shi was already sitting in the car, pondering how to find him in the vast city.

After pondering for a moment, still without any clue, he sighed deeply and decided to use the strongest power from urban novels.

He took out his phone, searched through his contacts for a moment, and then dialed his "subordinate".

As the most reliable driving force behind the plot, no matter what task is given to him, he can always find a way to try it out. And he completes it 100% of the time, except for the possibility of some unexpected events along the way.

The call was answered instantly, and a respectful voice came through the phone:

"Mr. Lin, is there anything I can do for you?"

Lin Shi quickly ran through the typical characteristics of an "urban miracle doctor" in his mind: young, from the deep mountains and forests, and fond of hard work. He carries a set of precious acupuncture tools and wears a family heirloom jade pendant around his neck. He quickly gave the instructions:

"Go to the train station, bus station, and look for young people who have recently arrived. Look for those who are wearing old cloth clothes and shoes, and may even be a little dusty. They look like they come from deep in the mountains. Their eyes must have a sharp look, you know that kind of sharp look in young people? They might also be carrying a box of needles and have a jade pendant around their neck."

Lin Shi continued to think about the characteristics of a miracle doctor, adding:

"You know Conan, right? He's pretty much the same way; wherever he goes, someone has a seizure. Just look for him like that."

The subordinate immediately responded:

"Understood, Mr. Lin. I will search all the transportation hubs now."

"Not all of them. He can't afford high-speed rail or airplanes. Focus on train stations and long-distance bus stations. It's urgent."

"Understood, Mr. Lin. I will contact you once I find it."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shi turned off the screen and looked at the hood of the car.

His subordinates are reliable, but I never know what kind of trouble they might cause. However, since it's just a matter of finding someone, and I specifically told them not to offend them, the matter shouldn't be too serious.

Then I thought about myself: the tasks were subcontracted out, and I had nothing to do.

Going upstairs would make it seem like I haven't done anything, and instead of increasing my goodwill, I might lose it, which would be a loss.

However, if you go to search for it yourself, the probability of finding it is not as high as that of your subordinates; most of the time, it will just be a waste of time.

Lin Shi took a deep breath and made up his mind:

There was no other way but to openly play games at internet cafes. At the age when I should be working hard, I was forced to go online, and I was shouldering too much responsibility.

With a heavy heart, I started the car and went to an internet cafe to use the most luxurious computer.

Just as the game reached a crucial moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up:

Su Ningshuang 15:18:

"I couldn't find it. Maybe we should come back first... I'm actually quite healthy."

Lin Shi picked up his phone, glanced at it, and quickly put it down. Building goodwill was important, but he couldn't abandon his brothers on the battlefield.

My eyes were glued to the game, and I kept thinking to myself:

Look at that, that's what a leading lady is like! So gentle, afraid he'd get tired, she even lied about her good health. It's just that she's too cold-faced, otherwise, the number of men pursuing her would double.

He didn't pick up his phone until the battle was over, intending to reply and also to tell her about his hard work, which is why he didn't see Su Ningshuang's message.

The phone suddenly rang.

"Feed".

"Mr. Lin, the miracle doctor you mentioned has been found. He's at the old train station."

The other party then sent a multimedia message with a photo.

Lin Shi clicked on it and was shocked:

"Why is it a girl?!"
