Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: A Little Restraint is Good

"Okay, please arrange this for me." Lin Wanru nodded.

Seeing Lin Wanru's unusually polite request, Su Changhao was overjoyed.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this properly!"

Then, as if receiving a royal decree, Su Changhao quickly departed.

As for Zhou Yi, he wanted to laugh.

How could he not understand Lin Wanru's intentions?

However, she didn't know his true abilities.

He possessed the true essence of the ancient Tai Chi Quan, his strength almost unfathomable.

Let alone a bodyguard who had just left the army.

Even ten or eight of them attacking together wouldn't necessarily be his match!

This Lin girl is still too young!

However, it's a good opportunity, I can also use this opportunity to make a special request.

For example, to go somewhere else for some kind of exchange...

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smirk.

Lin Wanru glanced at Zhou Yi's expression out of the corner of her eye: "Old man, why are you suddenly laughing?"

Zhou Yi threw his hands up, indicating his innocence.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something happy."

"Hmph, you definitely haven't thought of anything yet!" Lin Wanru scolded.

"Cough cough," Zhou Yi coughed lightly, "Not at all!"

"You shouldn't think of me as too bad, I'm a decent person, I've never done anything bad!"

"Decent my foot." Lin Wanru stuck out her tongue at him.

Look, it's quite adorable.

...

After a long day at work, Lin Wanru returned home.

Chu Yi was with her.

Lin Ru looked at them, about to greet them, but felt something was off about them.

Lin Wanru's complexion was fine.

However, her mood seemed a little downcast.

It was as if she had done something wrong.

Chu Yi, on the other hand, looked worried and kept clutching his waist, appearing to be suffering from lower back pain.

Lin Ru kindly asked him if he needed a massage or physical therapy clinic.

Chu Yi repeatedly said no, that he just needed to be more restrained.

"Restrain yourself a little?" Lin Ru was a little confused by what Chu Yi was talking about.

Lin Wanru glared at Chu Yi, then began to explain.

"That... Uncle Chu Yi went to the square this afternoon to accompany Auntie's group of dancers and singers, and accidentally overexerted himself, that's why he ended up like this."

"So he said he needs to be more restrained."

"So that's how it is." Lin Ru covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Lin Wanru also chuckled guiltily, mentally cursing Chu Yi a hundred times over.

Why only in her heart?

Of course, it's because she couldn't beat him!

If she actually fought him, she wouldn't only be unable to beat him, but might even...

In short, it's all because of this rotten old man Chu Yi!

She thought fiercely to herself.

...

The next day, Lin Wanru went to work early in the morning as usual.

Chu Yi was also by her side.

For some reason,

Lin Wanru always felt a little uneasy.

It felt like something bad was about to happen.

"Hopefully it's just a hallucination," she thought to herself.

Shortly after, she arrived at the company building's gate.

This time, however, Lin Wanru saw from afar that the secretary was standing directly in front of the main gate waiting for her, looking worried.

This made her frown.

Although the secretary would come immediately when called, it shouldn't be waiting at the company gate.

She suspected something unexpected had happened.

As soon as she got out of the car, the secretary came forward to greet her: "Ms. Lin, something big has happened!"

"Our company's latest pharmaceutical research failed the clinical trials! The drug's effectiveness is vastly different from what was expected!"

Upon hearing this news, she immediately lost her composure.

Her company had spent three years researching and developing this new heart disease treatment, with research and development costs exceeding two billion yuan.

If it failed, it would be a huge blow to the entire company.

Not to mention, in a few days, senior executives would be coming to inspect the company.

If the patriarch found out...

Just thinking about it gave Lin Wanru a headache.

"Quickly take me to see where the problem is."

The secretary nodded and hurried ahead.

Zhou Yi remained silent, walking with Lin Wanru into the company.

Only then, after a thorough investigation, did Lin Wanru understand.

It turned out that someone had tampered with the data.

But just a few days ago, the person in charge of this group had already resigned and fled.

"How could it be such a coincidence?!" Lin Wanru frowned.

She quickly realized.

This must be someone secretly pulling strings!

However, now that things have come to this point, cursing is useless.

She must quickly find a way to fix it.

But, such a huge loophole.

How can it be fixed in such a short time?

Just thinking about the high-ranking members of the Lin family coming to inspect in a few days, Lin Wanru felt even more of a headache.

"Oh, what should I do this time?"

While she was racking her brains, Zhou Yi spoke.

"Lin girl, this new medicine of yours is used to treat heart disease, right?"

She glared angrily at him: "You old fool, I'm in trouble right now, I don't have time to chat with you."

"Ah, since you're busy, forget it."

Saying that, Chu Yi turned his back and deliberately sighed.

"Alas, I originally wanted to use my family's inherited heart disease prescription to help you."

"Unfortunately, if you don't want it, I can't do anything about it!"

Chu Yi's words immediately caught Lin Wanru's attention.

"What did you say? You have a solution?"

Chu Yi nodded slightly.

After all, he had previously acquired god-level medical expertise.

His pharmacological knowledge and medical skills had reached the master level.

With a simple thought, he could come up with more than a dozen effective prescriptions and therapies for treating heart disease.

Offering one as a trade wasn't a big deal.

However, Lin Wanru's suspicions suddenly arose.

"Are you serious? This ancestral recipe of yours... Is it reliable?"

Zhou Yi patted his chest: "It's definitely not fake!"

"To be honest, it's just as effective as my family's ancestral divine soup!"

"You dare mention your soup!" Lin Wanru's tone was reproachful.

But since things had already started, she couldn't worry about that much anymore.

"Okay, then write down the recipe for me to see."

Lin Wanru said this, but saw that Zhou Yi didn't move at all, only looking at her and smiling inexplicably.

She was immediately a little confused: "What... What's wrong?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Yi said directly: "Lin girl, it's a shame you're still a CEO."

"Even that basic principle of conduct is beyond your comprehension?"

Principle?

Lin Wanru didn't react immediately.

After a few seconds, she clapped her hands, suddenly realizing, "You want compensation, right?"

"No problem, as long as this medicine is effective, our company will treat you with the highest standard of treatment..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Yi interrupted.

"Oh, that's not what I want, you understand."

"Not that?"

Lin Wanru was instantly confused.

Later, perhaps remembering something, her face suddenly flushed.

"You're not wanting... that..."

Zhou Yi didn't speak, only smiled at her and nodded slightly.

Lin Wanru immediately understood.
