Zheng San saw that extra meals were being provided in the cafeteria and, along with Hu Jia’s calling out, his eyes darted around as he sneaked away from the cafeteria.
He found a secluded spot and picked up the phone to call Su Yuan.
Soon, the call was connected, and Su Yuan’s impatient voice came through.
“What’s up?”
“Boss, something happened!
The young master is paying out of his own pocket to provide extra meals for all the staff, which is very extravagant and not a good way to run the company.”
Zheng San spoke as if he was concerned for Su Ming’s well-being.
“Bullshit!
What do you know?
This is called winning people’s hearts, you understand?
He’s going to take over the company eventually!”
Su Yuan cursed at Zheng San in a tirade.
“Yes, I see now that the young master is very thoughtful.
It is my shortsightedness.”
Zheng San awkwardly corrected himself.
“It’s nothing, don’t bother me.”
Su Yuan then hung up the phone.
…
In the evening,
Villa · Dining Room.
Su Ming sat at the dining table, slowly savoring his dinner.
Su Yuan and Zhao Ning were seated on either side of Su Ming, both not eating and just watching him with smiles.
“Why are you staring at me?
Do I have rice on my face?”
Su Ming asked, puzzled.
“No, son, how have you been adapting at the company lately?”
Su Yuan asked with a grin.
“Pretty well, but it would be even better if you didn’t have people staring at me all the time.”
Su Ming thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.
“That’s nothing to worry about, my son.
Listen, there are plenty of beautiful women in this world.
There’s no need to give up the entire forest for one tree.”
Su Yuan said cautiously.
“Right!
Son, your father is right.
Tell us what type of girl you like, and Mum can introduce you to some!
Oh, you have a distant cousin who’s the same age as you and I’ve heard she’s quite pretty.
I’ll introduce you to her sometime.”
Zhao Ning was even more direct in her persuasion.
Su Ming looked at Su Yuan and Zhao Ning with a puzzled expression.
He could tell that something was off with them today.
They usually weren’t this eager to set him up with dates.
Wait, could it be that they had snooped through his correspondence?
As this thought crossed his mind, Su Ming put down his chopsticks and then spoke.
“I’m full.
I’m going back to my room now.”
After speaking, Su Ming left the dining table and headed for the stairs.
“Son, eat a little more, don’t rush off.”
Zhao Ning called out to Su Ming.
“Yes, let’s chat for a bit!”
Su Yuan echoed, sounding very guilty.
“No need.”
Su Ming, even more convinced there was a problem, quickened his pace upstairs.
He soon returned to his room and gave the arrangement of the room a quick glance, finding everything seemed to be as he had left it.
However, as Su Ming’s gaze fell on his desk, he immediately noticed something was amiss.
He walked to his desk and looked closely at the placement of the two envelopes.
Although they were in roughly the right place, it was obvious that someone had tampered with them.
Su Ming touched his forehead, showing a resigned expression.
It was bad enough that Su Yuan and Zhao Ning had pried into his correspondence, but the key issue was their misunderstanding after doing so.
And, given the circumstances, it seemed explaining would be useless.
“Sigh!”
Su Ming sighed deeply, realizing his vacation was unlikely to be peaceful.
…

A year later.
In the luxurious and elegant corner of the villa, there was a dressing table made of ebony.
Embedded in the dressing table was an exquisitely crafted mirror, and the tabletop was adorned with various cosmetics and jewelry boxes.
Through the mirror could be seen a young man with a tall figure, fair skin, handsome features, deep eyes, wearing a simple white shirt, and black slim-fit trousers, sitting in a chair.
At that moment, Zhao Ning stood behind the young man, picking up a bottle of toner and continuously applying it to Su Ming’s face.
“Mother, are we done?”
Su Ming asked, his body somewhat stiff.
“Almost, just bear with it!”
Zhao Ning said as she picked up some hairspray and sprayed it on Su Ming’s hair, while incessantly combing and styling.
“Mother, this should be enough.”
Su Ming took a deep breath and managed a smile.
“That won’t do, my son is so handsome, he deserves to be dressed up properly.
And today is the day the results come out; it has to be formal!”
Zhao Ning said, dotingly to Su Ming.
“Okay!”
Su Ming also endured and sat still.
However, after completing the hairstyle, Zhao Ning did not stop there, but picked up a tube of lip balm and began applying it to Su Ming’s lips.
Su Ming immediately felt like he could no longer hold back and then said to Zhao Ning.
“Mother, I’m a guy, I don’t need lipstick, that’s for girls!”
“This is lip balm, just apply it!
It will keep your lips from being dry and make them look glossy!”
Zhao Ning said, very pleased, she hadn’t expected her son to become so handsome after slimming down, he was simply the spitting image of the man of her dreams.
Su Ming felt like he was on the verge of collapse, never before had he experienced such torment, not even when Chilami was chasing him to kill him.
But in order not to dampen Zhao Ning’s spirits, all Su Ming could manage was a weak response.
“Okay, okay, okay…”
At this moment, Su Yuan also entered excitedly.
He had dressed up specially for today, donning his favorite black and gold formal suit, and even tying a colorful tie.
“Son, are you ready?
The car is prepared.”
“What’s the rush, can’t you see I’m making up your son?”
Zhao Ning retorted grumpily.
“Alright, then I’ll wait here.”
Su Yuan immediately shut his mouth, stood obediently to one side, not daring to dampen Zhao Ning’s mood.
Su Ming inwardly sighed; he thought he was about to be released, but it turned out that his adoptive father really couldn’t deal with such matters!
…
Half an hour later.
Su Ming got into the car, with Su Yuan and Zhao Ning sitting to his left and right, respectively.
“Son, don’t be nervous!
We believe that you can definitely achieve a good result.”
Both parents said to Su Ming, brimming with confidence.
“I hope so.”
Su Ming was also a little nervous and hopeful inside; he was curious to see just how well he had done after a month of cramming.
…
Shortly afterwards, the black hover car arrived at the gates of Mint Middle School.
The entire school entrance was decked out with ribbons and balloons, creating a full atmosphere.
Moreover, to the right of the gates, there stood a five-meter-tall giant red sign with “Honor Roll” prominently written on it, though the names had not yet been written below, as the results hadn’t been announced.
At this time, the entire school entrance was filled with a variety of luxury cars.
Numerous parents accompanied their excited children walking into the school.
At this point, Su Ming and his two companions also got out of the car and walked towards the school.
As they reached the gates, they could see a bright red carpet laid out from the entrance, leading straight to the playground, and everyone followed the red carpet.
The results were to be announced at the school’s sports ground.
Su Ming and his party followed the crowd inside and soon arrived at the sports ground.
At this moment, the spacious sports ground was already packed with students and parents, as well as teachers from the school and administrative officials from the Thirteenth District.
