After a while, he cleared his throat again. "Miss Su, our President sent me to check on you. He's been swamped with company matters these past two days, completely dizzy from it all, which is why he couldn't come see you personally."

"Oh, it's fine if he doesn't come."

Su Qiao's attention was fully on the data on her computer, and she didn't even lift her head again.

"..." Lin Shen was a bit bewildered.

What exactly did that mean?

Was she still angry, or completely indifferent?

What had his President done to offend her so badly?

He knew they had gotten along quite well just a few days ago.

"Ahem, the President doesn't talk much. He just looks a bit intimidating on the surface, but he's actually quite gentle, very considerate, and his heart..."

At this point, Lin Shen found himself unable to continue.

Even he felt it was a bit far-fetched.

But what needed to be done still had to be done, and what needed to be said still had to be said.

Lin Shen blushed and continued, "The President has been thinking about you these past two days, worrying about your injured leg, worrying that you're not eating or sleeping well."

As he spoke, he pulled out his work phone. "Oh, by the way, this is the President's phone number and WeChat ID. Miss Su, please add him so you can easily get in touch."

"Get in touch?"

Lin Shen had been chattering incessantly beside her, annoying Su Qiao, who had no choice but to set aside what she was doing.

"Yes, it's always more convenient to have a contact number in case anything comes up. It won't delay things."

Lin Shen spouted nonsense with a straight face.

Su Qiao thought about it. "That's true."

She was currently in an alliance with Qin Mohan, and Qin Mohan was connected to her mission. Being able to contact him at any time was very important.

With that thought, Su Qiao tossed her pink phone to Lin Shen. "Then you add him for me."

"Alright."

Lin Shen quickly took it, adding the President's private phone number and WeChat.

He even added a very clear note, afraid Su Qiao wouldn't understand.

The number was added, but after Su Qiao took her phone back, she showed no reaction.

Lin Shen grew anxious.

After thinking for a moment, he tentatively said, "Miss Su, why don't you send a message to confirm if it went through?"

Su Qiao frowned. "That's too much trouble?"

How could that be considered trouble?

The President was eagerly waiting on his end.

Lin Shen helplessly continued to babble, "No, it's to ensure that if there's an emergency in the future, you can contact him immediately."

Host, do you still remember that you need to go along with the Great Demon King? You haven't contacted him for so long, aren't you afraid he'll turn dark?

444 was genuinely anxious. Even it could understand Lin Shen's meaning, so why couldn't the Host understand?

Su Qiao could only impatiently swipe open WeChat, type a few random words, and press send.

"Is this okay now?"

Lin Shen had no choice but to retreat helplessly.

Fortunately, she had sent a message; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have known how to report back.

Lin Shen left the hospital with a dejected expression.

Meanwhile, Qin Mohan had remained seated and still since Lin Shen left.

It wasn't until his phone chimed with a notification, showing a friend request, that he suddenly sat up straight, carefully picked up his phone, and tapped 'Accept'.

After opening the message screen, he saw no messages and his expression turned somewhat cold again.

It wasn't until a message came through from the other side that he felt slightly better.

But...

Why were there only four words?

And 'Contact if needed'?

Did that mean she wouldn't contact him if it wasn't needed?

This perfunctory and indifferent attitude made Qin Mohan's face turn cold once more.

He stared at those four words for a long time before throwing his phone down with a gloomy expression.

Inside the quiet room, the temperature suddenly dropped a few more degrees compared to before.

As soon as Lin Shen returned to the company, he had just finished explaining the situation with Su Qiao when, before he could even react, Qin Mohan 'banished' him.
