Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 8 : Talk with Xia Shiyu

At lunchtime, Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan walked into the cafeteria together. Regardless of the era, mealtime is always the most active. So, when the two entered the cafeteria, they found that there were not many available seats.

“Xiaowan, here~!!”

Upon hearing Yan Huan’s voice, Lin Xiaowan looked over and saw that Yan Huan had saved her a seat. She was pleased, but then she thought of Xia Shiyu beside her.

Seeing Lin Xiaowan’s hesitation, Xia Shiyu took the initiative and said, “Xiao Wan, you go ahead. I’ll go find Su Lin. I haven’t properly thanked him today.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement and said with a light chuckle, “Su Lin may seem indifferent and hard to talk to, but once you start chatting with him, you’ll find that he’s actually quite approachable. Don’t be nervous.”

“Mhmm~!!”

Xia Shiyu saw Su Lin sitting in the corner by the window as soon as she entered the door. She was not nervous, as she felt that a gentle person like Su Lin would definitely not be difficult to talk to.

The two separated, and Xia Shiyu went straight to Su Lin after she got her food.

“Su Lin, can I sit next to you?”

Hearing Xia Shiyu’s gentle voice, Su Lin couldn’t help but sigh. This girl’s voice is really something.

Lin Xiaowan has a typical sweet voice; if she were to act cute, it would be deadly. On the other hand, Xia Shiyu’s voice is gentle and delicate, possessing a kind of magical charm that makes people involuntarily let down their guard.

Su Lin nodded. “This seat is meant for people to sit. Sit.”

Xia Shiyu smiled and sat down next to Su Lin. This scene was seen by many students, and their hearts instantly shattered. Especially Feng Yifei, who planned to make a move on Xia Shiyu, when he saw Xia Shiyu take the initiative to find Su Lin, he was even more furious.

“Old Feng, goddess Xia went to Su Lin, did you see it?”

Feng Yifei nodded with an unfriendly expression. “I saw it.”

“Hehe, this is reality. Old Feng, even if you donated three thousand to her family, so what? Su Lin only donated two hundred, but his family is richer.”

“Okay, stop talking. Xia Shiyu is not the kind of person you think she is,” Feng Yifei said impatiently.

“Old Feng, we’re also worried about you.”

“……….”

On the other side, Xia Shiyu pondered for a while before she finally said to Su Lin, “Thank you, Su Lin.”

Su Lin stopped what he was doing and said, “Lin Xiaowan told you everything?”

“Mm~! Xiaowan has already told me everything. ”

“Su Lin, I want to thank you, but I can’t think of any way to do so. If there’s anything you need me to do, please let me know. I’ll do my best.”

Hearing Xia Shiyu’s words, Su Lin put down the chopsticks. “You want to repay me and thank me?”

Xia Shiyu nodded seriously, “Yes, it’s 200,000 yuan. Although it might not mean much to you, it’s a lifesaver for my family. If there’s anything I can do for you, I… I…”

Su Lin smiled and said, “I’m still in my third year of high school; there’s really nothing you need to repay me for. If you genuinely want to show gratitude, just focus on your studies and work for me in the future.”

Unexpectedly, Xia Shiyu was a bit puzzled by Su Lin’s response. However, upon reflection, it seemed like a reasonable suggestion.

She smiled, “Sure, after I graduate from college, if you ever need help in the future, I’ll come work for you.”

“Hehe, there might be no need to wait until college graduation,” Su Lin chuckled.

Now, Xia Shiyu felt a bit confused, looking at Su Lin with a questioning expression.

“Zhang Ailing once said, ‘Fame should be achieved early.’ On this point, I share her sentiment. After graduating from high school, I plan to start my own business, laying the foundation for taking over the family company in the future.”

Xia Shiyu looked surprised at Su Lin. Starting a business right after high school seemed like an incredulous idea to her. “Su Lin, you are indeed a very capable person. Now you already have a plan for the future. But I’m just a student, what can I do to help?”

Su Lin waved his hand, “I’m not in a hurry. Gain experience slowly without rushing. Do you want to become a CEO right after graduation? Just help out with odd jobs.”

Xia Shiyu nodded vigorously, “Alright! I’ll definitely do that when the time comes.”

“Hehe!”

Watching Xia Shiyu’s charming demeanor, Su Lin burst into laughter. He knew that, despite her seemingly delicate appearance, this girl would become the renowned female CEO in Zhongjiang City in the future.

She started her own business in her third year of university. Before the age of thirty, she was already worth tens of billions. After the company went public, she became one of the few female billionaires in the country listed on Forbes.

After Ye Feng was reborn, he first borrowed money from Xia Shiyu to accumulate his first bucket of gold. Then he started his own company and started the internet business. Other than expansion, everything else was taken care of by Xia Shiyu alone. Su Lin, who read the original novel, knew that this girl was very tenacious and capable.

He understood that he couldn’t afford to let such a person slip away. However, Xia Shiyu herself still didn’t know the extent of her potential.

Su Lin soon adopted a more serious expression, “I don’t want anyone to know about my donation, including your parents and relatives. Can you ensure this, Xia Shiyu?”

Perplexed, Xia Shiyu asked, “Why?”

“You are still too young.” Su Lin stated with a chuckle. “If your dad knew that I donated so much money to you, what would he think? Would he think that we are dating?”

“If others found out, they might think I’m supporting you financially and engaging in some questionable activities. Consider the consequences of such rumors.”

Xia Shiyu’s face turned pale instantly. If such rumors spread, it would be a disaster. Even though her relatives kept their distance from her, tarnishing her reputation like this would be devastating.

“Do you know the severity of the situation now?”

Xia Shiyu nodded, “Su Lin, for you, this is…”

“You’ve already agreed to work for me. Just focus on your work and repay me that way,” Su Lin interrupted her as he laughed.

Hearing Su Lin’s laughter, Xia Shiyu joined in, but little did she know that Su Lin’s use of the 200,000 yuan was far from straightforward. In the near future, she would not only be working for Su Lin but also…

This was just the beginning of a new chapter in their intertwined destinies.
