After a while, he coughed again. "Miss Su, our CEO sent me to check on you. He's been so busy with company matters these past two days that he's been dizzy and exhausted, so he couldn't come see you himself."
"Oh, it's fine if he doesn't come."
Su Qiao's mind was completely focused on the information on her computer, and she didn't even look up.
"..." Lin Shen was a little confused.
What exactly did she mean by that?
Was she still angry, or did she simply not care?
What had his CEO done to offend her this badly?
After all, they had still been getting along quite happily just a few days ago.
"Ahem, our CEO isn't much of a talker. He only looks a little fierce on the surface. Actually, he has a mild temper, and he's very considerate. His heart is..."
At this point, Lin Shen really couldn't go on.
Even he felt that he was stretching things too far.
Still, he had to do what needed to be done and say what needed to be said.
With a flushed face, Lin Shen continued, "The CEO has been thinking about you these past two days. He's worried about your leg injury, worried that you haven't been eating well or sleeping well."
As he spoke, he took out his work phone. "Oh, right. This is the CEO's phone number and WeChat ID. Miss Su, add him so the two of you can keep in touch."
"Keep in touch?"
Lin Shen had been chattering beside her nonstop, and Su Qiao was getting annoyed. She could only set aside what she was doing for the moment.
"Exactly. If something happens, it's more convenient to have a number to contact him through. That way, nothing will be delayed."
Lin Shen spouted nonsense with a perfectly serious expression.
Su Qiao thought about it. "That's true."
She and Qin Mohan were allies now, and Qin Mohan was connected to her mission. Being able to contact him at any time was important.
With that thought, Su Qiao tossed her pink phone to Lin Shen. "Then help me add him."
"Sure."
Lin Shen hurriedly caught it and added the CEO's private phone number and WeChat account.
He even made the contact name extremely clear, afraid that Su Qiao wouldn't understand it.
The number had been added, but after Su Qiao took her phone back, she showed no reaction at all.
Lin Shen grew anxious.
After thinking it over, he ventured, "Miss Su, why don't you send him a message to confirm whether it went through?"
Su Qiao frowned. "Isn't that troublesome?"
How could that be considered troublesome?
The CEO was waiting eagerly on the other end.
Lin Shen helplessly continued to make things up. "No, it's to make sure that if there's an emergency in the future, you can contact him immediately."
Host, don't you remember that you're supposed to indulge the Great Demon King? You haven't contacted him for so long. Aren't you afraid he'll turn evil?
444 was genuinely anxious. Even it could see what Lin Shen was getting at, so why couldn't its host understand?
Su Qiao could only impatiently open WeChat, type a few random words, and hit send.
"Will this do?"
Lin Shen had no choice but to leave helplessly.
Fortunately, she had at least sent a message. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have known how to explain himself when he returned.
Lin Shen left the hospital with a miserable look on his face.
Meanwhile, Qin Mohan had been sitting motionless ever since Lin Shen left.
It wasn't until his phone chimed with a notification that he abruptly sat up. Seeing the friend request, he carefully picked up his phone and tapped "Accept."
After opening the chat, he saw that there was no message, and his expression turned cold again.
Only when a message finally came through from the other side did his expression improve slightly.
But...
Why were there only four words?
And "Contact me if there's anything"?
Did that mean she wouldn't contact him if there was nothing?
Her perfunctory, indifferent attitude made Qin Mohan's face turn cold once more.
He stared at those four words for a long time before throwing down his phone with a gloomy expression.
In the quiet room, the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees lower than before.
As soon as Lin Shen returned to the company and finished reporting what had happened with Su Qiao, he was sent to the backwaters by Qin Mohan before he could even react.
