Chapter 534: Xu Shaochen is a Thousand-Year-Old Schemer

“I’ve mentioned it, and Shanshan has agreed.”

Lin Kai nodded.

Xu Shaochen looked at Shanshan. She had to agree voluntarily, or it would be troublesome if something went wrong later.

Meeting Xu Shaochen’s gaze, Shanshan forced a smile. “Xu Shao, Kai Ge has explained everything to me.”

Although she agreed voluntarily, she still felt somewhat embarrassed.

But when she thought about the hefty sum of money she would get afterward, her hesitation disappeared.

After all, she knew her place. It wasn’t realistic for someone like her to join the Lin Family. She might as well get more money out of it.

Anyway, even if she didn’t agree, Lin Kai would find other women to agree. So why let this opportunity slip away?

“Let me be clear. Since you’ve agreed, I’ll take it seriously. If you do your part, Lin Kai won’t treat you poorly. But if you try to mess things up, I won’t let you off.”

Xu Shaochen gave Shanshan a firm warning. He was concerned she might get greedy and develop some undesirable thoughts.

For example, playing both sides and colluding with Lin Rong.

Shanshan was startled. She quickly said, “Xu Shao, don’t worry. I know what’s important. I wouldn’t do anything foolish.”

“Hmm. No need to be so tense. After it’s done, I’ll arrange for you to leave Hong Kong immediately. Then you can enjoy a life of luxury abroad.”

Xu Shaochen gently reassured Shanshan, worried that if she was too nervous, she might slip up.

Shanshan nodded vigorously, unconsciously clenching her delicate fists.

Obviously, she was already beginning to fantasize about the wonderful life ahead.

“Take her to buy a couple of outfits and get her made up. Make sure she looks beautiful tonight.”

Xu Shaochen nodded, then turned to Lin Kai.

“Xu Ge, I’ve already sent out the invitations. Lin Rong will definitely show up tonight.”

Lin Kai used the excuse of celebrating Shanshan’s birthday to send out invitations, booking an entire hotel for the occasion.

But it was just a cover. The main goal was to set a trap for Lin Rong.

The trap was simple, but it could easily ensnare both Lin Rong and Lin Kai.

Tonight, Lin Kai could eliminate Lin Rong, but it would also mean his own downfall.

Of course, with Lin Kai’s limited intellect and vision, he couldn’t see this coming.

“Xu Ge, I’ll take her to get ready.”

Lin Kai suppressed his inner excitement. After tonight, he would be the sole heir of the Lin Family.

And all it would cost him was a woman.

Xu Shaochen nodded. Lin Kai eagerly left with Shanshan.

Watching Lin Kai’s back, Xu Shaochen smiled.

“Look at him. Isn’t he like a pig? Doesn’t he know there’s no such thing as a free lunch?”

Xu Shaochen chuckled as he spoke to Long Yi and Long Er.

Long Yi and Long Er just smiled without saying anything, but they couldn’t help but mentally complain.

Lin Kai is just unlucky to have run into such a cunning old schemer like Xu Shaochen. Not only will he lose his sister, but he’ll also lose everything.

“Let’s go to the Lin Corporation.”

Xu Shaochen was heading to see Lin Wanxue so that she could take action today.

After tonight, Lin Wanxue would be the sole heir of the Lin Family.

Lin Wanxue would conquer the Lin Family, and as for himself, he only needed to conquer her.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Lin Corporation tower.

Xu Shaochen left Long Yi and Long Er in the car and walked towards the office building alone.

“Hello, Mr. Xu.”

As soon as he entered the building, the receptionist greeted him warmly.

After all, the other employees might not recognize Xu Shaochen, but the receptionist definitely knew who he was.

Xu Shaochen nodded and walked straight into the elevator.

The receptionist quickly dialed Lin Wanxue’s number to inform her that Xu Shaochen had arrived.

Upstairs, in Lin Wanxue’s office.

Several subordinates were briefing her on their work.

“Director Lin, regarding…”

Suddenly, Lin Wanxue’s phone rang. After answering and hanging up, she waved at the subordinates in front of her. “That’s enough for today. You can all leave now.”

The subordinates looked at each other, clearly puzzled, but quickly understood and left the office.

As soon as they exited, they started talking.

“What’s going on? Director Lin specifically called us in for a report, but then asked us to leave without hearing it?”

“I was standing close by. I think I heard something about someone arriving on the phone. Maybe Director Lin is receiving that person.”

“Who could it be to have such an impressive presence that Director Lin would push work aside to meet them?”

The others gasped in amazement, clearly impressed.

After all, who in the company didn’t know about Lin Wanxue’s authority?

For her to delay work to meet someone, that person must be extremely important to her.

Meanwhile, the elevator doors opened, and Xu Shaochen walked out, heading straight for Lin Wanxue’s office.

“Hey, what are you doing? You’re not one of our employees. How did you get in here?”

The subordinates who had just left Lin Wanxue’s office quickly blocked Xu Shaochen.

“Step aside. I have business with your Director Lin,” Xu Shaochen said calmly.

“Business? I’ll have you know that Director Lin is expecting someone important. Whatever business you have can wait until tomorrow. Please leave.”

Since they knew Lin Wanxue was waiting for someone, they couldn’t just let Xu Shaochen in. After all, they wanted to do their duty to Lin Wanxue.

“Click—”

At that moment, the office door opened, and Lin Wanxue stepped out.

“Director Lin.”

Seeing Lin Wanxue, the subordinates greeted her respectfully.

Lin Wanxue nodded, a smile blooming on her face as she walked up to Xu Shaochen and wrapped her arm around his. “They don’t know you. Don’t hold it against them. Let’s discuss inside.”

Wow! Seeing this, the subordinates were dumbfounded, shock evident on their faces as they looked at Xu Shaochen.

They hadn’t expected that the person Lin Wanxue was waiting for was Xu Shaochen, and it was clear from their body language that their relationship was close.

For a moment, the subordinates broke out in a cold sweat, realizing they had almost caused trouble by accident. Luckily, Lin Wanxue showed up in time.

Xu Shaochen nodded, naturally wrapping one arm around Lin Wanxue’s slender waist, and they walked into the office together.

“Phew—”

Hearing the office door close, the subordinates finally let out a long breath, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

“Who was that man earlier? Is he Director Lin’s boyfriend?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Hmph! He probably just lives off of her. So what if he’s handsome?”

A rather good-looking young man muttered jealously. After all, who hadn’t dreamed of being the one to capture Lin Wanxue’s heart?
