Chapter 167: His Character Li Yan was a secretary and had spent a lot of time with Qin Hai. Lin Shuya was afraid that Qin Hai would one day fall in love with Li Yan.

Although Qin Hai was already in his forties, he was handsome, steady, and rich. It was inevitable that those young girls would be tempted.

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about Qin Hai’s emotions.

As expected, when Qin Hai heard her words, his face turned black.

Lin Shuya shrank her neck back.

“Lin Shuya, am I giving you too much face? Just because you say you don’t like her, you want to replace my capable employee?”

“Li Yan is my secretary. She has a lot of information about the company and is more familiar with the company’s affairs. The company is also in a difficult period. Do you know how much trouble the company will bring if you replace her?”

Qin Hai’s questioning made Lin Shuya lower her head and didn’t dare to speak anymore.

After a long while, she said in a very low voice, “I’m sorry. I was just afraid that you would fall for Li Yan.”

Qin Hai sneered. “We have been married for so many years. Don’t you know what type of person I am? In your eyes, I’m an adulterer?”

“I’m sorry, Brother Hai.” Lin Shuya hurriedly raised her head and looked flustered. “I won’t doubt you in the future.”

“Alright, you can go back.” Qin Hai waved his hand.

Lin Shuya still wanted to say something, but seeing that Qin Hai was impatient, she could only go back to the Qin family.

That night, Qin Hai didn’t go back.

Old Madam Qin blamed this on Lin Shuya and became even more aggressive in bullying Lin Shuya.

However, Lin Shuya didn’t dare to refute a single word, so she could only swallow this bitterness alone.

After meeting Old Master Lu at H City’s Painting Association, Qin Churou started to investigate Old Master Lu’s whereabouts.

She probably knew where Old Master Lu lived.

After school, Qin Churou didn’t go back to the Qin family right away. Instead, she stayed close to the Lu family.

However, Old Master Lu didn’t like to go out. She stayed there for a long time, but there was no result.

Qin Churou was nervous about her studies, so she gave up.

In fact, Old Master Lu also knew that Qin Churou was waiting for him outside. Fu Hanchuan was the one who told him. However, Old Master Lu deliberately avoided Qin Churou. He didn’t want to get into trouble.

The last time, the Chairman of the H City Painting Association, Wu Chuang, failed to invite Qin Sheng on the phone. He was still unwilling to give up.

He called her every now and then, and sometimes he even waited for Qin Sheng near the school.

Wu Chong had made up his mind. He wanted to pester Qin Sheng until she agreed.

Qin Sheng was also annoyed and finally agreed to Wu Chong.

However, in order to let Qin Sheng join, Wu Chong made a lot of promises.

For example, without Qin Sheng’s consent, Qin Sheng’s identity could not be announced.

Qin Sheng did not need to participate in the Association’s meetings. Qin Sheng could also volunteer to participate in the Association’s competitions and activities.

In short, Qin Sheng was a nominal member of the Association. She would not appear unless it was absolutely necessary.

Wu Chong also gave Qin Sheng the identity of a vice-chairman.

Qin Sheng really wanted to refuse, but Wu Chong said that it was just a nominal identity, which blocked Qin Sheng’s words.

Qin Sheng could only let him be.

Qin Sheng didn’t like to be threatened by others. If it were someone else, Qin Sheng would force them to not dare to look for them again.

However, Old Master Lu said that when Qi Wenshi brought Qin Churou to the Painting Association in H City, Wu Chong had protected her.

Qin Sheng wouldn’t do anything to repay kindness with hatred. It was just a figurehead in the association, nothing much.

Wu Chong got what he wanted, hummed a song, and left happily although the condition to invite Qin Sheng into the Association was a little, uh… humiliating.
