The phone rang, and Secretary Wang answered immediately, because it was Feng Youyang calling. "Hello, yes, this is Secretary Wang, Mr. Feng's secretary. Who is this?... Oh, hello, hello, what can I do for you? Mr. Feng is slightly unwell and has been hospitalized. I will inform him on your behalf."
As Xiao Wang answered the phone, his expression changed. He quickly hung up, not because he wanted to, but because the other party abruptly disconnected. Xiao Wang said to Feng Youyang, "Mr. Feng, something terrible has happened."
Feng Youyang was getting used to unexpected events. "What happened? Tell me."
Xiao Wang said, "The call was from the military region. They said that the clothing we've been supplying has quality problems and has been found by the logistics department. They're demanding an explanation from us, and they've also received orders from above to cancel our cooperation and compensate us for their losses."
The Feng Youyang family's clothing business is a major pillar, with nearly one-third of their business coming from supplying uniforms to the military region. After hearing Xiao Wang's story, Feng Youyang almost fainted. "What? The products we've always supplied have been of good quality, and suddenly they've been found to have problems. This is absolutely not normal."
Xiao Wang said, "Of course it's not normal. This matter must be related to the supplier and the distributor canceling the contract."
Jia Lili panicked even more, "Old Feng, what should we do? How did you offend such a ruthless person?"
Feng Youyang ordered Xiao Wang: "Immediately find a reliable person to find out who is behind this."
Although Su Xiaosu was valued by Lingdong Entertainment, she still had a heavy feeling in her heart. After the meeting, she walked out of the company in a sullen mood, her throat felt like it was on fire, and her voice was hoarse. It seemed that she really needed to see a doctor.
A car honked its horn in the distance. "Guo Yang?" Su Xiaosu waved.
Guo Yang parked the car and asked, "Xiao Su, how's the situation?"
Su Xiaosu said, "This place is very good to me. Guo Yang, you must have been very busy these past few days."
Guo Yang said, "I've settled down now because I resigned. I plan to apply for a job at Lingdong Entertainment tomorrow. Would you like to welcome me as your new colleague?"
Su Xiaosu smiled and said, "Of course you're welcome. Although Lingdong Entertainment is not well-known now, it has strong financial resources and will become famous sooner or later. I think staying here will definitely be suitable for our development."
Guo Yang said, "If that's the case, then I definitely have to come. Come on, let's go have dinner to celebrate your new job."
Guo Yang carefully opened the car door for Su Xiaosu. Before Su Xiaosu could get into the car, Guo Yang's phone rang. He had to answer the call first. "Little Li, what brings you back to my mind?"
"Don't joke with me. Why did you resign? Do you know that entertainment company has close ties with CCTV Media? Doing this will get you blacklisted by CCTV," my friend said anxiously.
Guo Yang said, "It's nothing. So what if they ban us? Are we going to die?"
"It's that woman again, Guo Zi. It's not worth it. You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you."
Guo Yang stopped the other person from continuing: "Alright, I have something to do here, let's talk another day."
Guo Yang got into the driver's seat and turned to Su Xiaosu, saying, "What do you want to eat? Don't worry about saving money for me."
Su Xiaosu was about to speak when her phone rang. Guo Yang chuckled, "We're all really busy with our business, hurry up and answer the phone."
Su Xiaosu took the number out of her bag and looked at it. She wasn't familiar with the number, but she didn't know many phone numbers, so she answered anyway, "Hello, who is this?"
“Xiao Su, this is Xiao Ya.”
Su Xiaosu felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled, a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy feelings welling up inside her. She didn't know how to face Xu Xiaoya, so she held her phone blankly without saying a word.
"Xiao Su, are you listening?"
Su Xiaosu nodded, seemingly knowing that the other person couldn't see her, "Yes, Sister Xiaoya, I... I'm sorry."
Xu Xiaoya chuckled: "You mean Zhao Qiang's matter, right?"
Su Xiaosu didn't answer. Her god-sister was so good to her, but she had an affair with someone else's boyfriend, and she had to do it with her boyfriend. Wasn't that obviously trying to make things difficult for Xu Xiaoya? That's why kind-hearted Su Xiaosu left without saying goodbye and didn't contact Xu Xiaoya during this time, enduring all her difficulties.
“There are many girls like you around Zhao Qiang. If I were angry, I would have been driven to my death long ago.” Xu Xiaoya’s words were full of helplessness, but it was the truth. Not to mention those far away, Xu Xiaoya couldn’t control people like Hu Qian and Luo Xiaowei.
Su Xiaosu remained silent. She felt incredibly guilty towards her devoted god-sister. Regardless of whether Zhao Qiang had other girls, Su Xiaosu couldn't forgive herself for stealing her god-sister's boyfriend. If she hadn't met Xu Xiaoya, she might not have felt this guilt, but the better Xu Xiaoya treated her, the heavier this guilt became.
With a snap, Su Xiaosu put her phone away, because she didn't know how to face Xu Xiaoya, even just her voice.
Seeing that Su Xiaosu looked extremely agitated, Guo Yang asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Su Xiaosu said, "It's nothing. Let's drive and go eat."
The pleasant ringtone of the phone rang again. Su Xiaosu glanced at the number but didn't answer. Guo Yang seemed about to say something but stopped himself, as it seemed this was not something he could help with.
The hotel was bustling with people, and Guo Yang never expected that so many people would recognize Su Xiaosu. "Look, isn't that the female protagonist of the assault case?"
"Yes, it really is a scourge to the country and its people. No wonder it has caused bloody battles among men."
"Boss Feng is such a talented person, but his reputation has been ruined by a beautiful woman."
"None of these actresses are clean..."
Guo Yang felt apologetic and said to Su Xiaosu, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect anyone to recognize you here. How about we go somewhere else?"
Su Xiaosu bit her lip and shook her head: "No need, we'll have to face it sooner or later."
Guo Yang said, "I heard about that matter. Fortunately, Lingdong Entertainment stepped in to help, otherwise it would have been very troublesome. Unfortunately, I am alone and powerless, and I was unable to help you with this matter."
Su Xiaosu said, "It's nothing, things have calmed down for now. By the way, Guo Yang, I'll take you to see President Zhao tomorrow. She's a very nice person. With the foundation you've built, you'll definitely have a bright future at Lingdong Entertainment. We also formulated a series of future development plans at today's meeting. Before New Year's Day, the company will use 500 million yuan to build its reputation."
Guo Yang was a little excited: "Really? It seems that Lingdong Entertainment is quite powerful. I also heard that President Zhao is a young and beautiful girl. I'm looking forward to it."
Because of the people pointing and whispering in the hotel restaurant, Su Xiaosu kept her eyes straight ahead. Unbeknownst to her, a girl was already standing behind her. Guo Yang looked up and was about to say something to Su Xiaosu when he was stopped in the middle.
"Xiao Su, why didn't you answer your sister's call?"
Su Xiaosu turned around abruptly, "Sister Xiaoya? You... what are you doing here?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "I tried calling you but you didn't answer, so I had no choice but to come here in person. Luckily, I was in Baiyuan at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch my flight."
Su Xiaosu lowered her head: "I...I don't dare to face you."
Xu Xiaoya asked, "Is it because of Zhao Qiang?"
Although the people dining at this hotel were generally well-mannered, the two pretty girls sitting together still attracted a lot of attention, especially since one of them was the female protagonist in the recent online assault incident that went viral.
Xu Xiaoya frowned, her mood extremely irritated by the chattering crowd around her. She beckoned to someone behind her, and a bodyguard came over. Xu Xiaoya whispered a few words to him, and the bodyguard immediately nodded and left. A short while later, the waiters began to clear the area. Although some customers grumbled and refused to leave, they were picked up by Xu Xiaoya's bodyguard and thrown to the door. The rest of the people naturally dispersed.
Guo Yang watched in astonishment. People who can do this kind of thing must be very powerful, either with authority or money.
"Who is he?" Xu Xiaoya looked at Guo Yang with some hostility. Su Xiaosu quickly introduced, "He's my friend Guo Yang."
Xu Xiaoya said to Guo Yang, "Can I talk to my god-sister alone?"
Guo Yang stood up and said, "Okay, Xiao Su, I'll wait for you in the car outside."
Su Xiaosu remained silent, so Xu Xiaoya asked her, "Were you bullied?"
Su Xiaosu nodded, and Xu Xiaoya asked, "Why didn't you come to me?"
After a long pause, Su Xiaosu finally answered, "Sister Xiaoya, I'm sorry, Zhao Qiang and I..."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Let's not talk about him for now. Let me ask you, have you completely forgotten the bond between us sisters?"
Su Xiaosu said, "I haven't forgotten, but I'm sorry. But at the beginning, I really didn't know that your boyfriend Zhao Qiang and my boyfriend Zhao Qiang were the same person. Zhao Qiang, he..."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Zhao Qiang is such a bastard. He lied to me and then he lied to you."
Su Xiaosu lowered her head even further, "No, actually, I knew he had a girlfriend at first, but I didn't know that girl was you, Sister Xiaoya."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Then we should call him a bastard even more. Not only is he two-timing, but he also doesn't tell the truth."
Su Xiaosu said, "Anyway, Sister Xiaoya, don't worry, I won't see him again."
Xu Xiaoya asked, "Are you really willing to give it up?"
Su Xiaosu gritted her teeth: "I'll give it up."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Okay, you're still my good little sister, right?"
Su Xiaosu nodded, "As long as you're not angry with me."
Xu Xiaoya said, "I've never been angry with you. You think too badly of me. You don't understand Zhao Qiang at all. If you really understood him, you wouldn't be afraid of me getting angry."
Su Xiaosu remained silent, while Xu Xiaoya asked, "Do you want to know about Zhao Qiang's current situation?"
Su Xiaosu wanted to nod and shake her head at the same time, but in the end she could only remain silent. What else could she do? If she said she wanted to, wouldn't that be openly provoking Xu Xiaoya and showing that she still couldn't forget Zhao Qiang? If she said she didn't want to, it would be too against her conscience.

Volume 2 [532] Get Your Way Back
【532】I'll get my revenge for you.
Xu Xiaoya brought up a topic but then suddenly stopped, making Su Xiaosu anxious. Finally, she couldn't stay silent any longer and asked Xu Xiaoya, "Sister Xiaoya, come on, how is Zhao Qiang doing lately?"
Xu Xiaoya smiled slyly: "If I told you I didn't know either, would you believe me?"
Su Xiaosu was a little puzzled: "Of course I don't believe it. You're his girlfriend, how could you not know?"
Xu Xiaoya sighed and said, "I really don't know anything about his current situation, because he has disappeared."
Su Xiaosu was even more puzzled. "What? You're not saying that you haven't heard from him since he left that night, are you?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "You could say that."
Su Xiaosu said, "Then that explains it."
Xu Xiaoya asked, "No wonder?"
Su Xiaosu said, "I met someone who looks exactly like Zhao Qiang, but he said he's not the Zhao Qiang from Donghai City. I was skeptical at first, wondering how two people could look so alike. Now I need to figure out one thing: is Director Zhao of Lingdong Entertainment your boyfriend Zhao Qiang?"
Xu Xiaoya blinked and said, "I can't say for sure whether that Zhao Qiang is the Zhao Qiang we've lost, but I do know that Zhao Qiang has suffered from amnesia. So you'll have to figure out the rest yourself."
Su Xiaosu stood up and said, "I'm going to find him."
Xu Xiaoya pressed down on Su Xiaosu's arm: "Don't rush. If he doesn't want to acknowledge you, you won't get any results even if you ask."
"Don't you want to know the truth?" Su Xiaosu was angry; this official girlfriend was too irresponsible.
Xu Xiaoya said, "Do you think I wouldn't want to? But some things aren't as simple as we want them to be. Xiao Su, you have to trust me. Would I ever hurt you?"
Su Xiaosu lowered her head: "Of course not, I was too impulsive and didn't understand the situation behind it."
Xu Xiaoya looked up and saw that it was strange to have only the two of them in the empty hall. So she said, "Let's go. I'll introduce you to some friends. Some of them you knew when you were the spokesperson for Haifeng Group. From now on, we'll all be good friends. Remember to contact us if you need anything. Oh, and of course, you have someone protecting you here now."
Xu Xiaoya introduced Su Xiaosu to Hu Qian, Yang Shiqi, Luo Xiaowei, Chen Xinyu, and Liu Yiyi. Why would these girls come to Baiyuan City? Is it because of Su Xiaosu? If it were for Su Xiaosu, so many of them wouldn't need to appear together; dealing with Feng Youyang alone would be enough.
Yang Shiqi was the most forthright and couldn't stand people like Feng Youyang. After meeting Su Xiaosu, she said, "Come on, I'll take you to meet Feng Youyang. Does he have three heads and six arms? He still refuses to kowtow and admit his mistakes, and he's caused a huge uproar on the internet."
Hu Qian also said, "Yes, we're just killing time anyway, let's go see how Commander Yang handles things." Yang Shiqi has already been promoted.
Given Yang Shiqi's style of doing things, it would be impossible for her to travel without a few soldiers with her. So, they drove more than a dozen luxury cars and headed to Baiyuan Central Hospital under the cover of night. Military vehicles led the way, attracting the attention of many passersby who thought it was a high-ranking official visiting.
The hospital director was alerted shortly after they entered the city center hospital. Since it was already after get off work hours, he couldn't organize a welcoming party of several people. He could only manage to gather a few able-bodied patients to line up in the lobby to greet them, and he even paid each of them fifty yuan for their appearance.
"Welcome, welcome! May I ask your names?" The dean had seen all sorts of people. The first vehicle to clear the way was a military vehicle, and the girls who came in were all beautiful. It would be hard to believe they didn't have some kind of background.
Yang Shiqi pointed to the ward area: "Take us to find Feng Youyang."
