A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Su Yingxue strode into the elevator, followed closely by Ye Heng.

After the elevator doors closed, the atmosphere in the small space became somewhat tense. Su Yingxue stared at the rising floor numbers, remaining silent.

Upon arriving at the CEO's office on the top floor, Su Yingxue went straight to the large desk and sat down, placing her hands on the table and looking sharply at Ye Heng.

"Tell me, how did you and Gong Yichu meet?" Her voice was devoid of emotion, even though she had already learned the details of Ye Heng's contact with Gong Yichu from her younger sister, Su Yingrou.

But she still wanted to hear Ye Heng's explanation.

Ye Heng was somewhat surprised and wondered how Su Yingxue knew about this.

Is this why she's angry today?

"Grandpa Su asked me to go to the Gong family teahouse. There are some old items in Taohai Antique Street that might be useful to me. I asked Grandpa Gong to help me choose some, and that's how I met Gong Yichu."

Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Going to the antique street? What do you need to buy? Grandpa brought you into the company to work, not to wander around and get involved in other people's affairs." Her question was cold, clearly showing her dissatisfaction with Ye Heng going out during work hours and dating Gong Yichu.

Ye Heng answered frankly, "I do need to buy something, a gift for a friend."

"Friends?" Su Yingxue tapped her fingertips lightly on the table. "What kind of friend would make you skip work to go to the antique market to pick out a gift? What did you buy? Show it to me."

Ye Heng hesitated for a moment, then took the brocade box out of his pocket, opened it, and placed it on the table.

He guessed that Su Yingxue probably already knew what he had bought, although the bracelet was obviously for a female friend, and it wouldn't be good for his fiancée to know.

But he can't change it anymore.

Su Yingxue reached out and picked up the jade bracelet, examining it closely against the light.

The jade is warm and lustrous, with a translucent color and an exquisite and elegant design, clearly a style suitable for women to wear.

Her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Su Yingxue put down the bracelet, her tone calm, but her gaze was fixed on Ye Heng: "Your friend, your relationship with him is unusual, isn't it?"

As soon as she asked the question, Su Yingxue was taken aback.

She soon realized that Ye Heng was just a fiancé forced upon her by her grandfather, and there was no emotional foundation between them. She had never really intended to fulfill this engagement.

So, what does it matter to her who he buys gifts for and who he is close to?

Thinking about this, she should have felt relieved, or at least indifferent. But for some reason, she still felt very uncomfortable.

She looked away, no longer wanting to see the jade bracelet or Ye Heng's expression.

"Never mind." Su Yingxue's voice returned to its usual cool tone, but with a hint of barely perceptible emotion. "This is your private matter, I won't interfere. Go back to your workstation right now and do your job."

She deliberately avoided Ye Heng's gaze, turned to face the floor-to-ceiling window, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Remember, you are an employee of the Su Group. Don't waste your time on irrelevant things."

Ye Heng put away the jade bracelet, glanced at her back, and curled his lips, instead of retreating, he advanced.

"Honey, are you jealous?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's face flushed red, but she forced herself to remain calm and replied:

"Who's jealous?"

She lowered her voice deliberately, her tone stiff and distant: "Ye Heng, don't flatter yourself. Our marriage is just an arranged one by our elders; it doesn't count with me."

Ye Heng leaned against the door, a knowing smile spreading across his eyes, but he cooperatively raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, President Su is right."

He deliberately pronounced "President Su" clearly, with a hint of amusement.

"You—" Su Yingxue turned around abruptly, meeting his smiling eyes, and was momentarily speechless.

The office was so quiet that you could hear the faint hum of the air conditioner and her own slightly rapid breathing.

She realized with dismay that her reaction only made things more obvious.

"Get out." She finally found her voice, her finger pointing straight at the door.

"I need to go to work. Also, don't call me that outside, especially at work. We're not in that kind of relationship yet, and I don't think you're qualified to be my fiancé!"

Ye Heng slowly straightened up, his smile unchanged, but with a more serious expression.

He walked to the door, placed his hand on the doorknob, and suddenly turned back: "I understand, President Su." He paused deliberately, "However, one day I will make you admit it yourself."

The door was gently closed, making a soft click.

Su Yingxue stood there, listening to the footsteps fading away outside the door, and finally relaxed.

She raised her hand to press her burning cheeks, her gaze falling on the abrupt ink stain on the document, and suddenly slammed her pen on the table in annoyance.

"That damned Ye Heng..."

……

Ye Heng took the elevator to the floor where the Strategic Investment Department was located.

Just as he was about to walk to his workstation, he paused.

With his extremely keen hearing, he heard someone making a phone call in the hallway, and it was someone he knew.

He walked quietly into the stairwell and saw a familiar figure.

Xia He was facing away from him, trying to keep her voice down.

"Minister Sun...didn't we agree that I'd be able to get a permanent position after I graduate from university?"

Minister Sun's tone on the other end of the phone carried an inexplicable meaning.

"Want to become a full-time employee? Sure! Didn't I say, come with me to Foglight Bar for a couple of drinks, and I'll agree to make you a full-time employee?"

Xia He bit her lip, going through a huge internal struggle.

She had heard of Minister Sun, who was the Minister of Personnel.

This foglight bar was owned by his friend, and every woman who went there with him for drinks suffered a violent fate.

She didn't dare to agree at all.

"I...I'll think about it some more."

Xia He hung up the phone and slowly squatted down, staring blankly at the floor, her whole face full of worry.

Ye Heng stood in the shadows of the corridor and heard the entire conversation between Xia He and Minister Sun.

Xia He squatted for a long time before standing up. When she turned around, her eyes were red, but she unexpectedly bumped into Ye Heng.

"Ye... Ye Heng? What are you doing here?" She hurriedly wiped her eyes.

"Just passing by." Ye Heng took two steps closer, his tone calm. "Are you in trouble?"

Xia He lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing... just work-related."

"Is Minister Sun holding you back because you're an intern and preventing you from becoming a full-time employee?" Ye Heng bluntly pointed out.

Xia He looked up abruptly, her face pale: "You heard that?"

"If you don't want to go to the bar, did he give you other options?" Ye Heng pressed.

Xia He hesitated before nodding: "He said... if we didn't want to go to a bar, we could go to 'Hongchang Trading' to collect a 500 million yuan old debt. But that company has a complicated background, and those who went to collect the debt before all came up empty-handed."
