At the same time.
Receiving the news, Deputy Mayor He grinned from ear to ear. The thought that Su Ning, whom he hated to death, was finally going to die made him feel as refreshed as drinking a mouthful of ice water in the dead of summer.
His confidant also rejoiced with him.
Having worked for him for so many years, the confidant vaguely realized that the person they had just met was not simple. That aura and demeanor were definitely not something an ordinary person possessed.
To put it bluntly—
His master could not afford to keep such a person!
It was probably that existence who had married into the Marshal's mansion for many years, rarely mentioned in the household but known to everyone... He pretty much understood.
"Master, Chen Huaiqian is your real confidant threat. Although that bitch Su Ning is hateful, once we get rid of the one surnamed Chen, she won't be a concern. We can deal with her slowly."
The confidant was very puzzled.
Wasn't this... confusing priorities?
This ordinary question, however, poked Deputy Mayor He's hornet's nest. His face turned livid, and he glared at him fiercely, roaring, "Am I the master or are you the master? Is it your turn to teach me how to do things?"
Frightened, the confidant kept as quiet as a winter cicada.
Kneeling on the ground, he was scolded harshly. He felt both wronged and resentful, and his legs were sore from kneeling, yet the scolding was not over and seemed to be getting worse—
Deputy Mayor He's accumulated emotions had just found a breaking point.
Fortunately, someone came in at this time.
Seeing this scene, the person secretly thought it was bad, but braced himself and reported the matter... There were many invitations during the New Year festival, this banquet and that salon, and the subordinates couldn't make decisions on some of them, so they had to ask the master.
"Wait."
Deputy Mayor He asked closely:
"You just said Su Ning is going to a temple fair. Whose temple fair is it, and when is she going?"
There were many temples in Beiping, and many lively temple fairs were held during the New Year festival.
Sometimes two or three could be held in a day!
Knowing it was the day after tomorrow, and that this temple fair was organized by the president of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce, crowded and bustling, Deputy Mayor He was even more thrilled.
It was good to have a lot of people, only then was it good.
Only in muddy waters could one catch fish!
"Tell them I will also attend." Amidst his joy, Deputy Mayor He thought about it and decided he had to watch Su Ning head to her death with his own eyes to relieve the hatred in his heart!
No, it wasn't enough.
There were also the other people surnamed Su, one, two, three of them should all die...
Let's see whose family line ends first!
The confidant who knew the inside story was fine and just breathed a sigh of relief; at least he didn't have to be scolded anymore.
The servant who came in for instructions was truly shocked and puzzled.
Ah, this.
Wasn't Su Ning the master's rival? It didn't look like it now. When he heard she was going to the temple fair, the master said he was going too, and laughed like this...
Could it be that his love turned into hate?
......
"A-choo!"
Su Ning tilted her head and sneezed, feeling her nose much more comfortable. She didn't pay much attention to it. She knew her own body; this was not a cold.
It was purely because the winter air in Beiping was too cold and dry.
Her nose couldn't take it.
Inside the car, Lin Sen immediately asked tactfully if they should turn around and go back to change clothes, adding, "...I heard that cars abroad can already be equipped with air conditioning, making them as warm as spring. It's still a grievance for you, Miss."
These words were spoken as a matter of course.
Even the driver in the front felt that Assistant Lin was right. Miss Su was a great tycoon abroad. A car with air conditioning might be very expensive, but no matter how expensive it was, could she not afford it?
Although the car she was sitting in now was quite good and expensive.
But it had no air conditioning!
Look, Miss Su was freezing.
"Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others." Su Ning smoothly took up the conversation without blushing at all, and continued, "The hardships my father suffered when he started from scratch were real hardships. I'm just feeling a little cold now, it's nothing."
"Ding, the host deceived a first-level plot character, causing psychological fluctuations. Rewarded one hundred yuan."
This was worse than no reward!
Su Ning was not angry either.
Ever since the system found out she was coming to the temple fair, it had been angry and refused to speak, just doing these passive-aggressive little tricks to annoy her.
"Really, trust me, there is no danger." Su Ning broke it down and explained to the system: "By controlling the source of the hidden spies, the assassination targets those spies received are all surnamed He."
"It has absolutely nothing to do with me..."
"Better safe than sorry. What if you get caught in the crossfire? I checked, these people kill without blinking an eye, and many times they have involved others..."
The system spoke coldly halfway, then realized it had exposed too much, and changed the subject:
"In the end, the one who benefits the most from killing the one surnamed He is Chen Huaiqian. Host, you have already paid a lot, there is absolutely no need to work so hard."
The concern was palpable.
Su Ning felt warm in her heart, smiling with a gentle tone: "I never do a losing business. By killing the one surnamed He, it seems I just got rid of an existence who didn't like me."
"But, there are many invisible benefits."
She raised her eyes and looked out the window at the bustling and lively scene, saying softly:
"How does a wild wolf that just joined a wolf pack confirm its status in the pack? Showing its hunting ability is important, but the fastest and most powerful method—is to challenge the original alpha wolf!"
"If I had enough strength."
"I wouldn't need Chen Huaiqian at all. The glory shared by two people is still not that dazzling."
She said with a bit of regret.
The system was temporarily unable to find words to refute. After a long time, it sourly retorted in its heart: She just knows how to brag. What kind of alpha wolf is the one surnamed He?
A slightly stronger wolfdog is more like it!
......
The car stopped at the entrance of the venue.
The person welcoming them was the president of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce, known as Boss Duan. He had a kind face, and his silk robe was pushed out by his beer belly.
He was also truly enthusiastic.
Seeing the car arrive, with the prestige of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he actually stepped forward personally to open the car door for Su Ning, reaching out his hand in a gentlemanly gesture of invitation:
"Miss Su, welcome, welcome."
"You are too polite." Although she said so, Su Ning's expression was calm and composed. Falling into the eyes of the other people entering, it caused another burst of whispered discussions and inquiries.
It seemed that her reputation was still not enough.
Su Ning was a bit dissatisfied.
It had been so long, and she still hadn't reached the point where everyone knew her.
She needed to work harder!
Other people didn't feel that Su Ning's fame was small. The authorities are baffled; starting from the funeral that cost hundreds of thousands, this Miss Su had refreshed their understanding step by step.
Those who spoke up to ask.
Simply couldn't match the person to the face.
There was no helping it; the gatherings and salons she attended before belonged to the elite of the elite. Not only were there few people, but most of them were also the same ones.
Those who were not qualified to participate naturally could not recognize her.
