Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 72: First Meeting with Chen Lin, Caught in a Scheme.

On Sunday, Su Lin received a call from Lin Xiaowan, who said she was accompanying Lin Guoqiang to visit some relatives and couldnt come out.

Su Lin was somewhat stunned, Xiaowan, your dad is definitely doing this on purpose. Hes getting back at me.

Pfft~!! Who told you to make him lose face yesterday? He said today he owes me a lot, so he plans to spend time with me. Actually, hes still going to handle official business; Im just tagging along, Lin Xiaowan said with amusement.

She didnt expect Lin Guoqiang to act like this, taking her to Donghai.

This is his idea of spending time with you? Hes just taking you along while he works, Su Lin commented, somewhat speechlessly.

Hehe~! Dont worry, I wont be bored. The daughter of the elder were visiting is about my age, and we know each other, Lin Xiaowan replied.

Uh~! I see. Well, have fun then.

Yeah, yeah~! Tell Xiaoyu I wont be coming.

Okay, Ill tell her later.

After hanging up, Su Lin shook his head. Lin Guoqiang was really acting childishly, resorting to such petty tricks.

But with Lin Xiaowan not around, it was a good opportunity for him and Xia Shiyu to spend some time alone. Lately, they hadnt had much time to themselves, mostly hanging out in a trio.

Though it was fun being with three people, there were limitations to what they could do, which was a kind of torture for an eighteen-year-old like Su Lin.

After getting ready, Su Lin drove to the supermarket. As he arrived, he saw a petite figure carrying a bucket into the supermarket. He was sure this girl wasnt Xia Shiyu she was smaller in stature.

The girl struggled a bit with the bucket but didnt stop moving. Su Lin, curious, followed her, wondering if she was a workers daughter.

Just then, Chen Yang came out of the supermarket. Not noticing Su Lin, he spoke gently to the girl, Didnt I tell you not to bother with this? Why did you make so much again?

Hehe, brother, this is the plum juice I made. You cant buy this outside, and its more cost-effective than buying water, Chen Lin replied, wiping sweat from her forehead and revealing a delicate face.

Little sister, Ive told you many times. You can help clean or wipe shelves, but you dont need to make plum juice.

Hehe, I was just bored and made it. Do you want some? Its refreshing and cools you down.

Chen Yang shook his head, No, thanks. Give it to the workers.

At this moment, Chen Yang noticed Su Lin, Lin Bro, when did you get here? Why didnt you say anything?

Su Lin smiled, I just got here. I saw you talking with your sister and didnt want to interrupt.

Chen Yang introduced the girl, Lin Bro, this is my sister, Chen Lin.

Xiaolin, this is Lin Bro I told you about. Hes the owner of this supermarket. Although I seem to be in charge here, its all thanks to him. Otherwise, I dont know where Id be.

Chen Lin looked at Su Lin curiously and nervously. She knew her familys improvement was all thanks to Su Lin. Without him, shed still be enduring cold leftovers.

Brother Lin, thank you for giving my brother this opportunity

Su Lin waved his hand, interrupting her, No need to thank me. Your brother works for me, and I pay him. Thats normal. Im tired of hearing these things from Chen Yang, so lets skip it.

Chen Lin, surprised, glanced at Chen Yang, who nodded, Lin Bro really doesnt like hearing this.

Su Lin said to Chen Lin, I heard youre in ninth grade. Shouldnt you be home preparing for exams instead of coming here?

Chen Lin saw her chance and replied, I I made some plum juice for the workers. My brother buys water every day, which is troublesome and expensive. The workers drink a lot, so I thought making it myself would be cheaper and tastier.

Su Lin asked Chen Yang, Whats going on?

Chen Yang explained, Theres no water supply here yet. The previous occupants used a well, which we filled up. So, we have to buy water.

Su Lin realized, Its not charged to the company?

No I paid myself.

Why not charge it to the company?

Because theres no invoice, Chen Lin interjected.

Chen Yang, smiling bitterly, explained, Dont mind what Xiaolin says. I

Its okay. I know you. If you were that scheming, youd be rich by now. Calculate how much you spent, and Ill have Xiaoyu reimburse you, Su Lin waved off.

Okay! Chen Yang agreed.

Su Lin looked at Chen Lin and smiled, Yangzi, you have a good sister.

Chen Yang forced a smile. He knew this was all Chen Lins doing. He guessed she came to set up this scene to bring up the issue of buying water.

Lets get a couple of water dispensers. Buying water isnt a solution. Understand?

Chen Yang nodded, ready to follow Su Lins instructions. Alright, Im going to check on Xiaoyu. You two keep busy. And leave me two servings of that plum juice.

After Su Lin left, Chen Yang turned to Chen Lin, somewhat annoyed, Didnt I tell you Id handle this? Why did you bring it up, and why the act? How will Lin Bro see me? How will I face him?

Chen Lin countered, With so many workers working day and night, youd spend hundreds daily on water, thousands monthly. They see you paying and dont conserve. Youll lose out in the end.

Our familys monthly budget used to be less than a thousand yuan. Now youre wasting money like this. I wouldnt agree if I knew.

Chen Yang looked at her stubborn face, Xiaolin, you dont understand. Im in charge here, and Ill be the manager with shares from Lin Bro. Its my duty to pay. Dont you see the bigger picture?

Chen Lin shook her head, I dont understand~!!

Its okay. Ill tell you what happened since I started working with him. Maybe then youll understand.

Okay Chen Lin was curious about what Su Lin did to earn such loyalty and support from Chen Yang.
