The sweetheart of a strong president

Chapter 124: Secret Contest

Lin Zihan did not rush to expose the truth, but chose a more subtle approach.

He skillfully touched upon topics of family and career during the conversation, and seemingly easily explored the price of success and the meaning of marriage.

Unaware of the situation, Deputy Mayor Wang gradually let down his guard and began to share his longing for an ideal partner. His words inadvertently revealed his admiration for Su Wan and his helpless sigh at the reality.

Lin Zihan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, maintaining an elegant smile, but a hint of cunning flashed across his eyes.

He pretended to be surprised and commented, "Oh, what a coincidence, how come the woman you described sounds so similar to my Su Wan?"

His words were playful yet polite, which made Deputy Mayor Wang realize his own gaffe.

Deputy Mayor Wang's expression changed slightly, he quickly adjusted his mood, smiled awkwardly, and tried to change the subject.

But Lin Zihan didn't intend to let it go. He continued in a humorous tone: "Yes, Su Wan is indeed an amazing woman. I am proud to fight alongside her every day."

His words were full of admiration and pride for Su Wan, and also sent a clear message to Deputy Mayor Wang: Su Wan was his, and no one could touch her.

Deputy Mayor Wang felt the deep meaning in Lin Zihan's words. He knew that his emotions had nowhere to hide, and he couldn't help feeling a little lost.

However, he also understood that as mayor, he had to maintain his composure and not let personal emotions affect the harmony of the occasion.

He suppressed his inner turmoil and instead praised Lin Zihan's wisdom and Su Wan's beauty, expressing his respect for them.

He didn't know Su Wan's contribution to the company, otherwise he would be even more surprised.

This old classmate of his is not only beautiful and well-mannered, but also smart.

Seeing that Lin Zihan was accompanying Su Wan, Mr. Li thought it was inconvenient to disturb her, so he started chatting with Deputy Mayor Wang.

"When did Mr. Li climb up this big Buddha?"

"Deputy Mayor Wang is making fun of me. How can I get close to him?"

"Doesn't Su Wan work in my company? She has a lot of face, and my husband will be able to get it done once she shows up."

"Deputy Mayor Wang knows Su Wan?"

"We are high school classmates."

"Oh, this relationship is not ordinary."

"But I didn't know she was so successful in your company."

"From what Vice Mayor Wang said, you are blaming me. Ignorance is not a crime. Before this, I didn't know that you two were classmates."

"I wonder what specific job Su Wan does in your company?"

"Product manager, but he will be promoted to vice president soon."

"Is it related to General Lin?"

"What are you thinking, Vice Mayor Wang? Don't you know your old classmate? She is a capable person. The products she is responsible for developing in our company are hot-selling. She is the backbone of our company's scientific and technological strength. What a precious treasure!"

The last sentence is very meaningful.

"Boss Li is really brave! If Boss Lin heard this..."

"Stop! Stop! Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Mr. Li was upset because he had let the matter slip.

The two continued to chat about topics that interested each other.

At the end of the banquet, Deputy Mayor Wang shook hands with Lin Zihan before leaving. There were complicated emotions in his eyes, but they eventually turned into a simple blessing: "I wish you happiness."

Lin Zihan smiled slightly, nodded firmly and politely, and watched Deputy Mayor Wang leave.

On the way home, Deputy Mayor Wang looked at the night view outside the window and made a silent wish in his heart: I hope Su Wan can be happy, and I hope I can find a balance between power and emotion.

As for himself, he can only continue to bear the helplessness of not being able to get the reward in the dim lights of this bustling city.

One morning after Future Health Technologies' big celebration, the company's employees were whispering and talking.

Su Wan's husband turned out to be the famous entrepreneur Lin Zihan! This news was like a spring breeze, quickly blowing to every corner.

The faces of the employees were filled with surprise and curiosity. After all, Lin Zihan's name was well-known in the business world.

Su Wan has always been a breath of fresh air in the company. She is always so low-key and never ostentatious.

Even at banquets, there were always some high-quality men casting admiring glances at her, and she always smiled and kept an appropriate distance.

Her behavior is always so decent, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lin Jie heard all this in the corner, and her heart was filled with ripples.

She used to be jealous of Su Wan's popularity and always felt that Su Wan was showing off secretly.

But now, when she knew that Su Wan had a powerful background like Lin Zihan, her jealousy instantly deflated like a balloon with the air sucked out of it.

Lin Jie began to reflect. Su Wan had countless reasons to be high-profile, to rely on her husband, and to enjoy the vanity of being sought after.

But Su Wan didn't do that. She chose to rely on herself and use her talent and hard work to work hard in the workplace.

Lin Jie suddenly felt how boring and even ridiculous her previous jealousy was.

She thought of her previous pettiness, her groundless suspicion, dissatisfaction and malicious slander against Su Wan, and a trace of fear welled up in her heart.

Thinking back to the time when she had gone to great lengths to spread rumors, she tried to destroy the relationship between Su Wan and President Li and even other senior executives.

However, things did not go as she expected.

On the contrary, Mr. Li and his wife did not buy into these rumors. They knew Su Wan's character and her performance at work.

Su Wan's professionalism, ability and contribution to the company are obvious. Therefore, Mr. Li and his wife not only did not alienate her, but trusted and supported her even more.

This trust and support is reflected in the care that Mr. and Mrs. Li show to Su Wan in daily life, as well as in giving her more opportunities and challenges at work.

They would even praise Su Wan's work in public to make her position within the company more secure.

Her plan backfired. She had hoped to attack Su Wan through rumors, but she didn't expect that it would make Su Wan's position in the company more solid.

As time went by, those groundless rumors were gradually forgotten, and Su Wan's career became brighter.

It turns out that everything is not only due to her own toughness, but also comes from the background behind her.

If the truth had been revealed, my situation would have been...

I think Su Wan doesn't care about such trivial matters, and she doesn't care about people like her.

If Su Wan was a person who liked to show off, perhaps she could still find a reason to be jealous, but Su Wan's low-key and self-reliance as well as her tolerance towards others made Lin Jie feel insignificant.
