Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

After returning the document to Manager Lin, he asked expectantly, "Has President Su read it? What did he say? Is he satisfied?"

Jiang Man shook his head. "Boss Su...is not in the office. I didn't give it to him. I'm sorry, Manager Jiang."

The truth often stings, and Jiang Man would rather express it in a tactful way than pass the grievances on to others.

Even so, Manager Lin still looked a little disappointed. "Is that so... Haha, let's talk about it next time!" He sat down, his smile tinged with embarrassment. "I'm about to retire, and I've always wanted to contribute more to the company so I can get a bigger pension. Haha... I know, it's ridiculous to still be ambitious at this age."

Jiang Man was stunned, looking at Manager Lin, feeling a surge of bitterness and self-blame. She could sense that if someone else had gone to see Su Heng, the outcome might have been different. Ultimately, it was she who had implicated Manager Lin.

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Man felt as if he was being weighed down by a huge rock, dull and depressed.

Recalling the encounter with Su Heng at the Su family and his unusual behavior in recent days, as if his temperament had changed drastically overnight, she was confused and puzzled as to how she had offended him, so that his previous indifference turned into a harsh rebuke now!

Jiang Man felt more and more complicated. As soon as it was time to get off work, she quickly packed up her things, said a simple goodbye to Xiao Zheng, and left in a hurry.

Located in the President's Office on the 28th floor.

Lin Ze made his usual trip to Su Heng's office before leaving get off work, only to find him facing the window, lost in his own thoughts. The documents he had submitted that afternoon remained unopened.

This scene is quite unusual.

Lin Ze called softly: "Boss Su?"

Su Heng didn't turn around, but just responded calmly: "You should get off work first."

"Okay." Lin Ze retreated with doubts in his heart.

Su Heng half-closed his eyes and habitually turned the pinky ring on his left hand. The look that appeared through the slits of his eyes was filled with a mysterious glow.

It wasn't until the night was deep that he slowly stood up, picked up his coat and car keys, turned off the lights in the office, and left. It was a rare occasion that he left the pile of unfinished work behind him without even a second glance.

The corridor was silent as he leisurely walked to the elevator and took the dedicated elevator directly to the parking lot. As the elevator door slowly opened, a folder was suddenly handed to him.

Su Heng paused, glanced down at the document in his hand, then looked up at Jiang Man who was standing outside the door.

He gently shook the folder and slowly walked out of the elevator. "What are you doing?"

Jiang Man stood opposite him, looking directly at him with clear eyes, and said frankly: "I hope President Su can read this report carefully."

His expression remained calm as he asked calmly, "Why should I listen to you?"

"I admit that it was my fault for escalating the issue, but from the perspective of the company's interests, I'm willing to take responsibility even if I was wrong. I have no complaints about any punishment President Su wants," Jiang Man said seriously. "I've been in the marketing department for a while, and this is the first time I've seen Manager Lin so enthusiastic and proactive about a project. Should I deny his efforts just because of my mistake? No, that's unfair, and I don't think that's what President Su really thinks."

Su Heng remained silent, looked at her, then walked past her and went straight to his car, opened the door and got in. The car started in front of her and sped away.

Jiang Man stood there, feeling mixed emotions, unable to tell whether it was disappointment or frustration, but she had made her final effort and at least would not leave any regrets.

In the car, Su Heng lit a cigarette and took a slow puff.

He stopped the car at a red light, glanced at the folder beside him, pursed his lips, picked it up and flipped through it...

Jiang Man seemed listless throughout the morning. Even when Xiao Zheng invited her to go to the mall together at noon, she was not interested.

Even Xiao Zheng noticed her strangeness and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Manman, what's wrong with you these past few days? Why are you so down?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Man looked at her in confusion, completely unaware of his own abnormality.

Xiao Zheng stretched out her slender jade fingers and gently pinched her cheek. "Look at you, you look so dissatisfied, like a woman who has been suffering from drought for a long time!"

Jiang Man was amused by Xiao Zheng's description and said, "How could I be like what you said?"

"Hehe, tell me the truth, is it because of your CEO?"

"No." Jiang Man denied it quickly and firmly. She didn't want anything to be linked to Su Heng. Moreover, since Grandma Su's wish had already been fulfilled, she and he could end their relationship at any time. Now, why not make things simpler?

Xiao Zheng wanted to continue asking, but Jiang Man immediately changed the subject, "Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping?"

"Oh, that's right!" Xiao Zheng immediately perked up when she heard this. "My lipstick is out and I want to buy a new one. Don't you know how important lip care is? You have to make men want to kiss you..."

Xiao Zheng talked a lot, but Jiang Man habitually ignored him. Sometimes, she really doubted whether she lacked the awareness of being a woman. No wonder Xiao Zheng often teased her, saying that she was actually a delicate man...

Oh, it really hurts my self-esteem.

The two of them walked around and when they came back in the afternoon, they happened to see Manager Lin walking into the office with a happy face. Seeing Jiang Man, he took a few steps forward and excitedly shook her hand, "Jiang Man! Did you go to President Su's office again to deliver the information?"

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Manager Lin, what you mean is..."

Manager Lin excitedly said, "CEO Su just called me personally. He actually praised our department! He also asked me to make a PowerPoint presentation of these suggestions and present it at the company meeting next week!"

“That’s great!”

Jiang Man didn't expect that Su Heng actually read it carefully! The haze in her heart was swept away, and she was really happy for Manager Lin.

"Jiang Man, I really want to thank you this time." Manager Lin said sincerely.

Jiang Man shook his head. "Manager Lin, I didn't do anything. It's not because of me that I got President Su's approval."

"No matter who it is, I'll treat you after get off work tonight!" Manager Lin said with a generous smile.

Xiao Zheng wasn't interested in anything else. When he heard Smiling Tiger was going to treat him, his eyes lit up immediately. "Manager, are you kidding?"

"What a joke!"

Xiao Zheng hurried back to the department to announce the news, and cheers broke out instantly. Although Manager Lin had already anticipated that his wallet was about to be "robbed", his heart was still filled with joy.

In stark contrast to the laughter and cheer in the marketing department, the atmosphere in the president's office on the 28th floor was suffocatingly solemn.
