"Mr. Kudo, you're out!"
Upon hearing this, Kudo Yusaku was struck dumb.
After realizing what was happening, he stood up from his seat in disbelief: "This is impossible!?"
At this moment, Lin Chuan finally spoke, his tone indifferent: "Nothing is impossible."
After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and a subordinate handed him several equity transfer contracts.
He took it and quickly flipped through it. When he saw those familiar words, Kudo Yusaku felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he leaned weakly against the chair.
Those were all his uncles, the heroes who helped his father build the empire.
Why? Why betray him at this time?!
Seeing her beloved, who was always gentle and elegant and full of vigor, turn into this state, Ichinose Riko felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Her feelings of goodwill towards Lin Chuan were like a river bursting its banks, flowing freely for miles.
Lin Chuan, however, didn't care at all.
He was confident that he could raise the other person's favorability rating to 90 within a week.
However, the method used might be somewhat shady.
Lin Chuan glanced casually at the unrequited love and then ignored it, looking at Kudo Yusaku in front of him, he said with a playful tone: "Mr. Kudo, you have two choices now. One is to leave the company and I will transfer your monthly bonus to your account."
"The other option is to stay and work as a regular employee. The choice is yours!"
Faced with these two choices, 99% of people would choose the first one.
After all, if I can make money lying down, why would I put up with your attitude?!
But Lin Chuan knew that Kudo Yusaku would choose the other one.
This company holds great significance for him.
He will not give up as long as there is even the slightest hope of taking it back.
As Lin Chuan predicted, Kudo Yusaku chose the second option.
After kicking her out, Lin Chuan looked at Ichinose Riko, who wanted to leave with him, and said calmly, "Miss Riko, please stay a moment."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman stopped in her tracks and subconsciously glanced at Kudo Yusaku.
Seeing that the other person wasn't even looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a slight sense of disappointment.
Soon, only Lin Chuan and Ichinose Riko remained in the large office.
Looking at Lin Chuan slowly walking towards her, Ichinose Riko clenched her fists slightly and whispered, "President, is there anything you need? If not, I'll go and get back to work."
On the other side, looking at this love-obsessed oddball in front of him, Lin Chuan's eyes showed a hint of amusement.
She is considered an oddball because the man she likes, Kudo Yusaku, is not only divorced but also has a three-year-old child.
She's practically begging to become someone's stepmother.
Of course, it's not that it's incomprehensible.
After all, such a mature and charming man is extremely attractive to young girls who are just beginning to experience romantic feelings.
It's just that Riko Ichinose blossomed a little late; she only started to bloom at the age of 23.
At the same time, seeing that Lin Chuan did not answer for a long time, Ichinose Riko, feeling a little flustered, spoke again: "I-I'll go and get busy."
With that said, he was about to leave.
But the next moment, she suddenly felt the world go dark.
In an instant, Riko Ichinose's pupils contracted sharply.
After realizing what was happening, she suddenly pushed Lin Chuan away and shouted angrily, "Baka! What are you doing?!"
Unconcerned about her attitude, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "This is a secretary's duty. Miss Riko still has a lot to learn."
"I'm not your secretary!"
"From now on, I officially appoint you as my secretary."
Upon hearing this, Riko Ichinose was so angry that her breasts heaved violently, and her eyebrows shot up: "You're dreaming! I quit!"
With that, he angrily turned to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, Lin Chuan's amused voice quietly sounded from behind her: "Is that so? Then I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to sell this company to the Ito Group."
One sentence instantly made Ichinose Riko cry out in alarm: "No!"
Ito Group is their company's old rival. If they were to sell the company to them as a package deal, Kudo Yusaku would definitely not be able to sustain it.
"Please, please don't sell the company."
Seeing the beautiful woman's pitiful appearance, Lin Chuan slowly walked up to her, reached out and stroked her smooth face, and said with a playful expression, "Then it depends on Miss Riko's sincerity."
"Miss Riko, you don't want to see...work either."
Chapter 295 Lizi’s surrender
"Miss Riko, you wouldn't want to see Mr. Kudo completely devastated, would you?"
Her delicate body trembled slightly, and Ichinose Riko gently bit her cherry lips with her pearly white teeth.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan intensified his persuasive tactics: "Let me tell you the truth, the reason I acquired this company is entirely because of your performance, Miss Lizi, which I saw some time ago."
Your voice and smile on stage are deeply etched in my mind...
Similarly, if it were a greasy old man, Ichinose Riko would only feel disgusted.
But looking at Lin Chuan's handsome, ethereal face, she felt a slight surge of joy in her heart.
Seeing the beautiful woman's furrowed brows gradually relax, Lin Chuan revealed his true intentions: "Miss Riko, what if Mr. Kudo found out that he lost this company because of you? Do you think he would feel disgusted or even hostile towards you?"
Upon hearing this, Ichinose Riko, seemingly recalling that scene, exclaimed in surprise, "Damn it!"
Then, she looked at Lin Chuan with pleading eyes: "No! Don't tell Kudo-kun."
His movements became increasingly gentle, and Lin Chuan slowly curved his lips into a smile: "That depends on whether Miss Riko is willing to cooperate."
"If you perform well, I might as well return this company to Mr. Kudo~"
"After all, the only person I've ever wanted is Miss Riko."
Like the delicate face of a piece of fine mutton fat jade, a hint of struggle appears.
Finally, Riko Ichinose nodded slightly and said, "I...I understand."
Then, slowly...
During this time, she looked at Lin Chuan and asked with some unease, "You, um~, are you really going to return the company to Kudo-kun?"
"Of course! This company has no value to me except for you."
"However, that's on the condition that Miss Riko performs well~"
Having received Lin Chuan's promise, Ichinose Riko felt a slight sense of certainty and murmured softly.
Since I'm the one who caused Kudo-kun trouble, I'll take care of it.
After a long while, with her delicate brows furrowed, she straightened her clothes and glanced at the proof of her own transformation beside her. A deep sadness flashed in Ichinose Riko's eyes.
She had fantasized about this moment countless times, imagining herself and Yusaku Kudo in a lovingly decorated wedding room...
But I never imagined things would develop to this point.
Just then, she suddenly felt a large hand on her waist.
Immediately afterwards, she uncontrollably threw herself into a wide embrace.
With his right hand gripping that delicate jade chin, Lin Chuan said in a deep voice, "You're thinking about Kudo Yusaku?!"
A flash of panic crossed her eyes, and Ichinose Riko instinctively tried to lower her head.
However, due to Lin Chuan's obstruction, it failed.
At this moment, Lin Chuan spoke again: "This is the last time! From now on, your heart belongs only to me."
"If there's a next time, I'll sell the company to the Ito Group as a package deal, understand?!"
Meeting that domineering gaze, Ichinose Riko felt a sudden, unprecedented flutter in her heart for some reason.
Under the influence of this fluttering feeling, she gently nodded her little head and whispered, "I...I understand!"
Nodding slightly, Lin Chuan said calmly, "Very good! Drink this."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of medicine and handed it over.
Soon after, Ichinose Riko, fully recovered, carefully put away the certificate of her transformation, buried her head in her chest, and walked out gracefully.
They had only taken a few steps outside when they were confronted by Yusaku Kudo, who had a somewhat cold expression and demanded, "Why did you stay inside for so long?!"
Riko Ichinose, who was feeling down because of her relationship with Rin, felt a pang of discomfort when she heard the other person questioning her.
However, thinking that it was because of her that the other party had ended up in this state, Ichinose Riko still managed to hold back her temper.
After giving a few perfunctory replies, he headed towards the logistics department.
Gazing at Riko Ichinose's slender back, Yusaku Kudo clenched his fists, a hint of ferocity appearing on his usually refined face.
A man and a woman alone in a room for so long, even a fool could tell what had happened between them.
The thought of his beloved woman being with Lin Chuan... made his heart ache so much he could hardly breathe.
Yes, he does have feelings for Riko Ichinose.
The reason I haven't taken any action is simply because I want to completely control the other party...
Unexpectedly, just when the time was almost right, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Not only did they take away his own company, but they also got to taste Ichinose Riko's "Head-Stomach Inflammation Soup".
Turning his gaze away from Riko Ichinose and glaring fiercely at the office, Yusaku Kudo roared inwardly, "Damn it! I won't let this go."
Suddenly, seeing Lin Chuan pull open the blinds, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be working hard.
Looking into the other person's mind, a deep mockery appeared in Lin Chuan's eyes.
