Chapter 1012
Realizing the Seriousness of the Situation
When Lu Yan saw how arrogant these two were, and how they were saying behind his back that he was either divorced or widowed, wasn't that just cursing his wife?
He was very angry and looked at Su Lingyi, saying, "Since you don't believe me, call your dad now!"
Su Lingyi retorted defiantly, "Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid of who?"
After saying that, Su Lingyi took the phone out of her bag, dialed her father's number, and asked him to come to the top floor of the Royal Dynasty Hotel!
Su Lingyi's father, Su Jingren, had just finished get off work and was about to drive home when he received a call from his daughter, Su Lingyi, nearby. Thinking that something serious had happened to her, he drove to the entrance of the Royal Dynasty Hotel as fast as he could, parked the car, and immediately headed to the top floor of the Royal Dynasty Hotel.
Upon reaching the top floor, Su Jingren immediately spotted several people standing there. Among the crowd, he spotted his beloved daughter and quickly ran to her. He looked her up and down anxiously, and finding that she was alright, he still asked her with some unease, "Lingyi, what do you want to see your father about?"
When Su Lingyi saw her father arrive, all the grievances in her heart welled up instantly, and tears streamed down her face like a spring, making her cry so pitifully.
Seeing his daughter crying her eyes out, Su Jingren felt a pang of heartache. He anxiously looked at her and asked, "Lingyi, what happened? Who bullied you? Tell Daddy quickly, and Daddy will teach those bastards a lesson for you!"
Su Lingyi pointed at Lu Yan with a wronged expression and said, "Dad, it's this guy, he's a big liar..."
When Su Lingyi pointed at Lu Yan, Su Jingren looked in the direction his daughter was pointing. What he saw terrified him. Before his daughter could finish speaking, Su Jingren turned and slapped her across the face. The loud slap echoed throughout the hallway, extremely jarring, demonstrating the force with which Su Jingren had used.
Su Lingyi has always been pampered at home, especially by her father Su Jingren, who dotes on her. He never raises his voice, let alone lay a hand on her. He treats his daughter like a precious gem, afraid she might melt in his mouth or fall from his hands.
Her father, who had always doted on her, hadn't even listened to what she had to say before hitting her, and with such force that Su Lingyi found it unacceptable.
She looked at her father in disbelief and said, "Dad, I haven't even finished speaking, how... how could you do this to me?"
At the same time, Su Jingren saw in the direction Su Lingyi was pointing that the "big liar" his daughter was talking about was actually Lu Yan, which is why he attacked his daughter.
Su Jingren is the deputy general manager of Dongjiang Mining, a high-level leader. He is fully aware of the internal personnel changes within the company and knows that Lu Yan is now the new leader of Dongjiang Mining. Previously, Su Jingren had always sided with Chen Yumin, who was the former head of Dongjiang Mining and Chen Zhengqian's father.
At some meetings, he had publicly sided with Chen Yumin and disagreed with Lu Yan on some work-related issues. He never expected that Lu Yan would be promoted to the top position of Dongjiang Mining so quickly. The speed of his promotion was beyond his expectations, it was faster than a rocket.
He had previously sided with Chen Yumin, which inevitably made Lu Yan have some opinions about him. When he was the deputy, it didn't matter, since the top leader had absolute power in the company. But now that Chen Yumin had suddenly been promoted to the top position, it wasn't very friendly to Su Jingren. Although he hadn't yet figured out whether Chen Yumin was weak or strong, one thing was certain: everyone holds grudges. If someone is weak, even if they want to retaliate, they won't cause you any real harm. But if someone is strong-willed, then things won't end well.
Therefore, before fully understanding Lu Yan's personality traits, Su Jingren respected Lu Yan very much, after all, his future career fate was in the hands of this man.
However, based on past experience, Su Yumin felt that Lu Yan's personality was not particularly strong, while Su Jingren felt that he should not have much of a problem and that Lu Yan should not make things too difficult for him after taking office.
But today my daughter actually got into a conflict with someone and even pointed her finger at the person, calling them a big liar. Isn't this just causing me trouble?
So he immediately slapped his daughter. After slapping her, he ignored her questioning him from behind and turned to Lu Yan with an extremely humble, almost obsequious, attitude. He stammered, "Mr. Lu... I'm so sorry. My daughter is still young and doesn't understand much. I hope you'll be magnanimous and not hold it against her. I'll teach her a good lesson when we get home!"
After Su Jingren said those words, he was trying to get Lu Yan's forgiveness. But before Lu Yan could even speak, Su Lingyi, who was still reeling from the hard slap her father had just given her, said to her father, "Dad, you've got it wrong. The head of Dongjiang Mining is clearly President Chen Yumin. How could it be him? Besides, I'm not young anymore. I'm almost thirty. How can I be so ignorant? That guy was so arrogant. He not only tried to kick me out, but he also said he was the head of Dongjiang Mining. You and President Chen Yumin have always had a good relationship, haven't you? How come you've gotten so senile? What do you mean by that?"
Su Lingyi had some basic knowledge of Dongjiang Mining, knowing that Chen Yumin was the previous chairman. However, she had been busy with her love life recently and had no time to listen to her father's company affairs. Moreover, the change of chairman of Dongjiang Mining was very sudden, so she was completely unaware of it.
Su Jingren apologized to Lu Yan in the hope of minimizing the problem, but his daughter Su Lingyi not only failed to achieve her goal, but also inadvertently fueled his anger.
This made Su Jingren even angrier. Without saying a word, he slapped her again, then looked at Su Lingyi with wide eyes and shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear me tell you to shut up?"
Su Lingyi's face was swollen from the beating her father gave her. Even when her father was angry, he would never lay a finger on her. Today, however, he slapped her twice in a row. It was the second slap that made Su Lingyi realize the seriousness of the situation. Although she was in considerable pain, she dared not utter a word in rebuttal. (End of Chapter)
