The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Suppressing a scandal won't make it disappear quickly; the best way is to create an even bigger scandal.

Li Zhanting originally intended to give the Lin family some face, considering his father's relationship with Lin Haiyuan.

However, since Lin Xin'er's self-written and self-directed work was leaked to China and Shen Yanran found out about it, he no longer needed to be polite.

Li Zhanting coldly ordered, "Xu Fan, go and smash up that magazine that slandered me. Then find the largest entertainment publicity agency in Germany and spread the news that Lin Xin'er, the daughter of the Vice President of China, couldn't resist her loneliness and had a one-night stand with a hotel waiter."

Smashing the magazine office isn't the problem; the problem is Lin Xin'er's special status. Li Zhanting's actions are undoubtedly a "declaration of war" against Lin Haiyuan, which is equivalent to indirectly opposing the national government.

If he wants revenge, he has plenty of ways to do it.

Xu Fan was still quite worried. "President Li, the presidential election is about to begin in China, and Lin Haiyuan is determined to win. If his daughter is involved in a scandal at this time, it will definitely affect the election. If he loses the election, I'm worried it will be detrimental to you or the entire Li family..."

"Lin Haiyuan is still a bit short of being president. The one I know has already been chosen, so don't worry. Besides, it's her daughter's own fault. What does it have to do with our Li family? Tell your men to handle this cleanly and leave no trace." Li Zhanting naturally didn't want to get too involved in national affairs, but he was still quite well-informed about some things.

Even if Lin Haiyuan wanted to cause him trouble, he would need evidence.

Xu Fan nodded gravely. "Yes, then I will do as you instruct."

Under Xu Fan's manipulation, it took less than an hour.

The entertainment news in China has taken a dramatic turn.

The news that "the vice president's daughter had a late-night rendezvous with a hotel staff member" became the number one trending topic on Weibo and remained there for a long time.

But Lin Xin'er was unaware of all this.

Two hours ago, she went through great lengths and used all her savings to compensate the entertainment media reporters before things finally calmed down.

As for the hotel waiter, he also received a considerable amount of money and promised not to spread the word.

She spent a long time thinking in her room, but she still couldn't figure out how Li Zhanting had disappeared into thin air.

Her phone also disappeared.

Lin Xin'er even searched the hotel waiter's entire body but couldn't find her phone.

She slumped onto the bed, recalling the events over and over again. Suddenly, she noticed that the decorations of this presidential suite seemed different from what she remembered of Li Zhanting's room; the orientation was reversed...

In other words, this room is not the one she went to last night, which is why Li Zhanting disappeared.

To confirm whether it was as she thought, she immediately ran outside and checked the door number: 2880.

She clearly remembered that Li Zhanting's room was 2889, so someone really did change her room!

In that instant, she realized the only possibility.

Only Li Zhanting would do such a thing.

Lin Xin'er couldn't help but shout in her heart.

Why, why, even after all that, does Li Zhanting still look down on her? She's younger and prettier than Shen Yanran, and she has a higher status and position than her, so why doesn't he like her?

Lin Xin'er cried, cried her heart out, and sobbed uncontrollably.

He eventually collapsed in the corridor.

A room service staff member who happened to be passing by saw her and, fearing that something might happen to her and cause unnecessary trouble for the hotel, took her to the hospital.

When Lin Xin'er woke up again, it was already dark.

She clutched her aching head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where am I?"

A man with a blank expression and a cold voice stood by her hospital bed and said, "Hello, Ms. Lin, I was sent by your father to take you back to the country. If you feel fine, please leave with me immediately."

Lin Xin'er glanced at the bodyguard in front of her with a guilty conscience. "I'm not going back. I'm fine here."

It must be that Li Zhanting told her father about her seducing him at the hotel. If she goes back now, she'll be courting death. She'd rather stay in Germany and enjoy herself.

As if he had expected her to say that, the bodyguard relayed Lin Haiyuan's instructions: "Mr. Lin told me to tell you that if you don't come back to China with me, you should never go back again, and he will no longer acknowledge you as his daughter."

Lin Xin'er has always been spoiled by Lin Haiyuan, and all her financial resources depend on him. If they lose contact like this, how will she support herself in the future?

We can't just let her go and find a job, can we?

Lin Xin'er pulled the blanket tighter beside her and asked nervously, "Do you know why my father is in such a hurry to call me back to China?"

The bodyguard pulled a brand-new cell phone from his jacket and handed it to her. "Your phone was lost. This is a replacement for you, as instructed by Mr. Lin. Everything you want to know is on it. Take a look for yourself."

Lin Xin'er looked at her phone in confusion. What else could have happened besides her going to the hotel to seduce Li Zhanting that made her father so eager to see her?

The next second, she opened her phone, and what she saw was mostly negative information about her.

The first thing she put down was the video of her checking into a hotel room with that hotel staff member.

Immediately afterwards, her father fell ill and went to the hospital because of her outrageous behavior.

Lin Xin'er then realized that things were much more serious than she had imagined, and even her voice trembled as she spoke, "How is my dad now? Is he alright?"

The bodyguard explained, "He's alright, he's been resuscitated. As soon as Mr. Lin woke up, he arranged for me to come and pick you up to return to China."

Lin Xin'er stopped resisting. "I understand. I'll go back to China with you now."

Lin Xin'er returned to China, and Shen Yanran also flew to France.

With only three days left to prepare before the official competition, Shen Yanran was already eager to see Li Zhanting.

Actually, she said she was coming to surprise Li Zhanting because his birthday was the next day.

She wanted to spend time with him.

Even Joey didn't have time to arrange things. She hurriedly prepared the things she needed for the competition, rested briefly for one night, and then took the early morning flight the next day to Germany where Li Zhanting was.

Li Zhanting waited until midnight yesterday, but still didn't receive any birthday wishes from Shen Yanran, leaving him feeling somewhat disappointed.

Has she forgotten?

I wanted to call and remind her, but I was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Forget it, he can just ask her for compensation when he returns to China.

On Li Zhanting's birthday, he was still busy with all sorts of work at the company, attending meetings of all sizes.

I hardly give myself any rest.

All she wanted was to finish her work as soon as possible and return to Shen Yanran's side.

But he is, after all, a human being, not a god. Even with a healthy body, he couldn't withstand such torment.

I caught a cold very quickly and even had a fever.

I can only tough it out by taking medicine.

Upon arriving in Germany, Shen Yanran immediately contacted Xu Fan.

Xu Fan said in surprise, "Madam, why did you come to Germany? Why didn't you tell the president? I'll arrange for someone to pick you up right away."

Shen Yanran explained somewhat shyly, "Isn't today your CEO Li's birthday? I want to give him a surprise. Please don't tell him. Just tell me his address and I'll go prepare a birthday present for him."

Xu Fan immediately understood. "Yes, I understand. I'll send the address to your phone in a bit. There's a password on the door; it's your birthday. You can just open it and go in."

"That's so convenient! That's great. It saves you the trouble of bringing me the keys. But you have to keep it a secret, okay?" Shen Yanran added, still not entirely at ease.

Xu Fan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Madam, I will absolutely not reveal a single word."

If there was one thing that made the president happy, he would naturally keep it a secret.

An hour later, Shen Yanran arrived at Li Zhanting's villa in Germany.

To prevent a repeat of what happened to Lin Xin'er, Li Zhanting decided to stay here. Although it was a bit far from the company, it was better than being harassed by some random women.

Shen Yanran entered the password, went into the room, and headed straight for the kitchen.

She wanted to bake a cake for Li Zhanting herself, so she needed to prepare a lot of things in advance.

I was so busy that it was almost dark.

Fortunately, her cooking skills allowed Li Zhanting to enjoy a delicious meal.

Everything is ready now, and we're just waiting for Li Zhanting to return.

When Xu Fan was almost at the villa, she sent a text message to Shen Yanran to remind her.

So Shen Yanran immediately took the prepared cake and hid it in the bedroom.

She imagined that as soon as Li Zhanting entered the bedroom and saw her, he would be so happy he wouldn't be able to speak.

However, she waited for almost ten minutes, and although she clearly heard the door open, why hadn't the person come in yet?

Shen Yanran tiptoed out of the bedroom carrying the cake to find out what was going on.

To their surprise, Li Zhanting was lying motionless on the sofa.

Judging from his voice, his breathing seemed much heavier than usual, as if he were sick.

Shen Yanran immediately put the cake aside and carefully walked to Li Zhanting's side to observe.

Sure enough, his face was flushed an unnatural red.

I gently touched his forehead; it was still a little warm.

Shen Yanran didn't have time to give him any surprises at this moment. She quickly went to her bag and found some cold medicine and fever reducers.

Then she returned to the man's side and said gently, "Honey, you have a fever. Take your medicine before you go to sleep."

Li Zhanting's head felt incredibly heavy, but he vaguely heard Shen Yanran's voice, so he forced himself to open his eyes. "Wife, is that you? Am I dreaming?"

After hearing him finish speaking, Shen Yanran coughed a few times, feeling extremely sorry for him. "It's me. You're not dreaming. Be a good girl and listen to me. I'll feed you your medicine."

For Li Zhanting now, whether or not he takes medicine is irrelevant; all he wants is to eat Shen Yanran.

This is the best medicine for him.

So his body reacted before his brain could process it; he pulled the softness in front of him onto his body and kissed her without saying a word...
