Su Chang rolled his eyes at her, then smiled gently and said softly, "You only remember I'm your boss now? You didn't call me that last night." His tone was teasing, which made Guan Xiaodi blush even more.

Guan Xiaodi sensed that Su Chang didn't blame her, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart. She hugged Su Chang's neck tightly, kissed him on the cheek, and then smiled sweetly, saying, "Brother Su Chang, it's so good that you don't blame me." Her eyes were filled with gratitude and joy.

Su Chang shook his head helplessly, then affectionately patted Guan Xiaodi's head and asked casually, "Girl, whose idea was this?" His gaze fell on Guan Xiaodi, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Upon hearing Su Chang's question, Guan Xiaodi's body stiffened slightly, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip and said, "Brother Su Chang, don't blame Sister Lucy. Blame me instead. It was all my idea." Her voice carried a hint of determination, as if she were expressing her resolve to Su Chang.

Seeing Guan Xiaodi's anxious expression, Su Chang's heart softened. He sighed helplessly, then gently comforted her, "Silly girl, how could I blame you? It's my luck to have you. But you know me, I have many girlfriends, so..." His words revealed a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation.

A resolute glint flashed in Guan Xiaodi's eyes as she said gently, "Brother Su Chang, I know. I won't ask for too much. I just hope you won't abandon me and will leave me a place by your side."

Su Chang sensed Guan Xiaodi's determination. He gently pulled her into his arms and said tenderly, "Silly girl, don't worry, you'll always have a place by my side." His voice was full of sincerity and promise, which warmed Guan Xiaodi's heart.

Tears welled in Guan Xiaodi's eyes as she hugged Su Chang tightly and whispered, "That's enough." Her voice carried a hint of satisfaction and peace, as if she had found someone to lean on.

Su Chang smiled helplessly, but his heart was filled with warmth. He gently patted Guan Xiaodi's back and said, "Sleep a little longer, I'll go make you breakfast." His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he were cherishing a precious treasure.

Su Chang sensed Guan Xiaodi's determination. He gently pulled her into his arms and said tenderly, "Silly girl, don't worry, you'll always have a place by my side." His voice was full of sincerity and promise, which warmed Guan Xiaodi's heart.

Tears welled in Guan Xiaodi's eyes as she hugged Su Chang tightly and whispered, "That's enough." Her voice carried a hint of satisfaction and peace, as if she had found someone to lean on.

Su Chang smiled helplessly, but his heart was filled with warmth. He gently patted Guan Xiaodi's back and said, "Sleep a little longer, I'll go make you breakfast." His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he were cherishing a precious treasure.

Guan Xiaodi looked at Su Chang with tender affection, her eyes filled with gratitude and love. She whispered, "Thank you, Brother Su Chang." Her voice was like heavenly music, intoxicating.

Su Chang didn't say much, but simply smiled and tucked Guan Xiaodi in, then kissed her forehead. The kiss was full of love and tenderness, and a blush rose to Guan Xiaodi's face.

As soon as Su Chang entered the living room, he found Fang Zhiheng looking at him with a half-smile. A surge of displeasure rose within him, and he rolled his eyes at her, saying, "Why are you up so early?"

Fang Zhiheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile. She teased, "I just wanted to see if a certain gentleman slept well last night, didn't I?" Her eyes gleamed with cunning, as if she were deliberately provoking Su Chang.

Hearing Fang Zhiheng's teasing, Su Chang's expression changed slightly. He knew perfectly well that last night's events were Fang Zhiheng's scheme, and now she dared to tease him—she was going against the grain! A surge of anger rose within him, and he decided to teach her a lesson.

Without saying a word, Su Chang walked over and picked Fang Zhiheng up in his arms.

Fang Zhiheng gasped in shock, her face contorted with terror. Seeing Su Chang's wolfish eyes, she panicked, frantically patting his shoulders and pleading, "Su Chang, what are you doing? Put me down! I'll never do it again..."

However, Su Chang ignored her pleas for mercy. His steps were firm and powerful as he carried Fang Zhiheng towards his bedroom. He was determined to show Fang Zhiheng what he was capable of.

Fang Zhiheng was filled with fear and unease. Seeing the wolfish glint in Su Chang's eyes, she knew exactly what he might do to her. Her heart pounded, and her breathing became rapid. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and pleading, hoping Su Chang would spare her.

Su Chang walked into the bedroom, then closed the door, ignoring everyone else, and her morning exercise officially began.

After having lunch with Fang Zhiheng and Guan Xiaodi, Su Chang suddenly received a call from Su Mang, who said that the route had been planned and they had arranged to meet at MG Company later to discuss the details.

Su Chang called Zheng Fangxiu to inquire about the acquisition of CT Group. Zheng Fangxiu told him that the acquisition team had gone to the UK and was currently fluctuating in the stock market, profiting from CT Group's stock price. They would only begin the formal acquisition when the price hit its lowest point, which might take a while. Su Chang didn't urge them any further, as long as the acquisition was completed before they returned from their trip.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chang looked at Fang Zhiheng and Guan Xiaodi, who were sitting to the side with puzzled expressions. He smiled confidently and said softly, "My women and I are planning to go on a trip next Friday. Why don't you come with us? Are you resting at home or coming with me to the travel agency to check out the tour packages?"

Fang Zhiheng hesitated for a moment, her eyes revealing worry about the unknown. She bit her lip and asked softly, "Su Chang, will your women accept us?" Her voice carried a hint of unease, as if she was worried about being rejected.

Su Chang didn't answer, but instead glanced at Guan Xiaodi. Guan Xiaodi understood immediately. She hugged Fang Zhiheng's arm tightly, her eyes full of sincerity, and said with a smile, "Sister Lucy, don't worry, Su Chang's girlfriends are all very easy to get along with." Her smile was as warm as sunshine, trying to dispel Fang Zhiheng's concerns.

Fang Zhiheng stared at Guan Xiaodi for a few seconds, her gaze lingering on Guan Xiaodi's face, trying to find a trace of deception in her expression. However, Guan Xiaodi's eyes remained firm and sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

Fang Zhiheng's doubts gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face. She said, "Alright then. I just resigned from my previous company, so it would be nice to travel around. Let's go check out the travel agency together later."

Hearing Fang Zhiheng agree, Su Chang and Guan Xiaodi both breathed a sigh of relief. A hint of joy flashed in Su Chang's eyes; he secretly rejoiced at Fang Zhiheng's decision.

Guan Xiaodi clapped her hands excitedly, grabbed Fang Zhiheng's hand, and said impatiently, "Great! We can go on a trip soon!"

Afterwards, the group went to pack their things and prepare to leave. Although Fang Zhiheng still had some worries, she was also full of anticipation for the trip. She hoped to get along well with Su Chang's girlfriends during the journey.

At 2:30 p.m., Su Chang drove Guan Xiaodi and Fang Zhiheng to the MG company building, where Su Mang and Su Chu were waiting at the entrance again.

After Su Chang parked the car, the group got out together. Guan Xiaodi and Fang Zhiheng looked around curiously, while Su Mang smiled and chatted with Su Chu and the other woman.

The group then went upstairs together and returned to the same travel consultation room as before. After introducing themselves, Su Chu, who was much better prepared this time, confidently opened the app and began explaining the itinerary, travel time, and their preparations.

Su Chu explained every detail in detail, and everyone listened with great interest. When Su Chu finished speaking, everyone applauded to show their satisfaction.

Su Chang said with a smile, "Su Chu, you might need to reserve a few spots this time. The number of people may increase at any time. Is that alright?"

Su Chu immediately nodded and said, "No problem, the leader has already agreed. Director Su and I will be your tour guides this time. We will follow you and serve you. If there are any changes, please let us know."

Su Chang nodded, about to say something more, when a commotion arose outside the door. Su Chang frowned, somewhat annoyed. What was going on? Su Chu and Su Mang were also puzzled, wondering what was happening outside.

Su Chu and Su Mang immediately stood up, intending to apologize to Su Chang and the other two and go out to check on things. Just then, the door to the consultation room was pushed open.

A woman dressed in punk style with a slender figure walked in. She wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, covering herself completely, making it impossible to see her face.

Su Chang and the other two looked at the newcomer and Su Chu and Su Mang with displeasure, as this was extremely impolite. Su Mang didn't recognize the person and was somewhat surprised. Who was this? How could they be so rude?

Su Chu recognized the person at a glance, and his expression instantly turned grim. He inwardly groaned; why would Tang Guoguo appear at this moment?

Su Chu immediately apologized to Su Chang and the other two, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, Miss Guan, Miss Lucy, this is my sister. She must have something to ask me. She was very rude. I apologize to you and will take her away right away."

After Su Chu finished speaking, she quickly walked towards Tang Guoguo and said in a low voice, "Tang Guoguo, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm busy? Get out of here."

Tang Guoguo ignored Su Chu's words. She took off her mask, revealing a delicate face, with a hint of stubbornness and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

She said, "Why should I go out? Aren't you preparing a new travel itinerary? I want to join this trip too."

Su Chu said helplessly, "Stop joking. This trip is planned, and it's a private customized trip for the client. You can't join it."

Tang Guoguo pouted and said, "I don't care, I'm going. If you don't take me, I'll go with you guys by myself."

Su Chu looked at Tang Guoguo, feeling a sense of helplessness. He knew Tang Guoguo's temperament; once she made up her mind, it was difficult to change it.

Su Mang's face darkened. She glared fiercely at Su Chu, cursing inwardly at this unexpected trouble.

Tang Guoguo seemed completely unaware of her mistake. Her face was full of grievance, tears welled up in her eyes, and she muttered, "Brother, you haven't been paying attention to me lately. I finally have time to come see you, and this is how you treat me."

Su Chu's heart was already in turmoil, and he secretly groaned. Having offended Su Chang, a major client, he knew he would definitely suffer in front of Su Mang.

At this moment, Su Chang and the other two had calmed down. They watched the farce with great interest and quietly began to watch the drama unfold.

Su Chu hurriedly stepped forward, took Tang Guoguo's hand, and said with a hint of pleading, "Guoguo, be good, I'm really busy right now. Let's talk properly after I'm done, okay?"

However, Tang Guoguo shook her head firmly, her eyes revealing a stubbornness, and said, "No."

Immediately afterwards, Tang Guoguo walked lightly towards Su Chang and the other two, her face radiating confidence and arrogance. She puffed out her chest and said loudly, "Are you the people going on this trip? I'm Tang Guoguo, I believe you should recognize me, right?"

Su Chang and the other two looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison and replied, "We don't know them."

Tang Guoguo was stunned. Her eyes widened as she stared at them in disbelief. She couldn't believe that someone as famous as her wouldn't recognize her.

However, she wasn't discouraged. Instead, she took a deep breath and continued, "It's okay if you don't know me. I'm a big star! If you let me join this trip, I'll cover all your expenses. How about it?"

Fang Zhiheng and Guan Xiaodi suppressed their laughter, looking at Su Chang with strange expressions. Su Chang, on the other hand, looked at Tang Guoguo with great interest, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, seemingly showing great interest in the little girl.

He asked softly, "Young lady, there are quite a few of us going on this trip. Are you sure you want to cover all our expenses?"

Tang Guoguo nodded without hesitation. She patted her chest and said confidently, "No problem!" Her eyes shone with determination, as if she were proving her resolve to Su Chang.

"What do you mean there's no problem? Don't be ridiculous." Su Chu's face turned pale instantly, and a layer of fine sweat even appeared on his forehead. His voice involuntarily rose eight octaves, carrying a hint of fear and disbelief.

He stared wide-eyed at Su Chang, inwardly groaning. He knew very well how much this would cost, and Su Chang had just said they needed to add more people, which was undoubtedly making matters worse.

Tang Guoguo's earnings were a drop in the ocean, not nearly enough! Add to that the cost of the private jet, and even with Tang Guoguo's family's money, it would still be a painful expense. Thinking of this, Su Chu's heart pounded faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

While inwardly cursing Tang Guoguo, he quickly composed himself and bowed obsequiously to Su Chang, apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry! Mr. Su, please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. She was just talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart!"

Chapter 277 Educational Candy

Tang Guoguo looked at Su Chu with a defiant expression, her eyes flashing with stubbornness. She bit her lip, as if she wanted to refute something.

Su Chu quickly gave her a meaningful look, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and warning. Seeing this, Tang Guoguo could only stand helplessly to the side, pouting, her face full of resentment, as if a fire of anger was burning inside her.

Su Chang didn't intend to make things difficult for the young girl, so he said, "Then you should explain things to Tang Guoguo first. We'll wait for you here." His tone was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of gossip.

Hearing that Su Chang didn't intend to pursue the matter, Su Chu felt relieved and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Su. I'll go and explain things to my sister right away and be right back." His voice was filled with gratitude as he quickly pulled Tang Guoguo out the door.

After Su Chu left, Su Chang saw the gloomy look on Su Mang's face and secretly rejoiced. He wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to sow discord between Su Chu and Su Mang, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked Su Mang, "Director Su, is that Tang Guoguo really Mr. Su Chu's sister? I calculated that he should be an only child, could I have miscalculated?"

Hearing Su Chang's words, Su Mang's face instantly turned even more ashen, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment. She had initially thought Su Chu's recent behavior had been quite good, and considering she was carrying Su Chu's child, she had even softened her stance and considered giving Su Chu a chance. However, Tang Guoguo's appearance now only confirmed Su Chang's earlier words, and her heart was instantly filled with despair and pain.

Su Mang forced a smile and said to Su Chang, "Mr. Su, you are right. Miss Tang Guoguo is Su Chu's childhood friend. They grew up together and are quite close, which is why they call each other brother and sister."

Her voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating she was struggling to control her emotions. Although she wanted nothing more than to kill Su Chu at that moment, they were now representing the face of the entire MG company, so she also tried to explain for Su Chu.

Su Chang nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see. Then they can be considered childhood sweethearts." A sly glint appeared in his eyes, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of causing trouble for Su Chu.

The desire to kill someone is never hidden in one's eyes. At this moment, Su Mang truly wished she could sew Su Chu's mouth shut. Her heart was filled with hatred for Su Chu, and at the same time, she deeply regretted her soft heart. She should have learned from Sister Ling and become a celibate.

Fang Zhiheng noticed the strange look in Su Mang's eyes and quickly tugged at Su Chang's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking. Su Chang also knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, so he didn't tease Su Mang any further, and an eerie silence fell over the entire consultation room.

······

Su Chu pulled Tang Guoguo straight out of the office and into the fire escape. His face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and worry.

Su Chu stared intently at Tang Guoguo and asked sternly, "Guoguo, how could you so easily agree to things for others? Do you even know who they are?"

Tang Guoguo curled her lip and replied with a disdainful look, "I don't care who he is! It's just a trip, how much could it cost? I just can't stand his arrogant attitude, calling me 'little girl,' acting like he's some big shot. If it weren't for you, I would have beaten him up long ago!" Her expression was full of stubbornness and defiance, her hands on her hips, as if she were showing off to Su Chu.

Su Chu was speechless for a moment because of Tang Guoguo. Who was being more arrogant now? His brows furrowed tightly, and his anger became more and more obvious.

He pointed at Tang Guoguo and raised his voice eight octaves, saying, "Fine, you're something else! You don't need to give me any face. Go ahead and beat him up. I won't stop you! I want to see if your dad can afford to pay for it!" His fingers trembled slightly, showing his inner anger.

Seeing that Su Chu was truly angry, Tang Guoguo's eyes flashed with panic. She quickly went over and tried to hug Su Chu's arm to ease the tension. Su Chu, however, immediately distanced himself from Tang Guoguo, leaning back slightly, a resolute expression on his face.

Tang Guoguo said coquettishly, "Brother Su Chu, why are you like this? I was just saying it. Besides, didn't you say you would protect me for life when we were little? Who is he anyway? My dad can't afford to pay for him." Her voice was tinged with grievance and confusion, and her eyes revealed her dissatisfaction with Su Chu.

Su Chu replied irritably, "Don't even think about it. I can't protect you. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. Let me tell you this: she's going on vacation this time on her own private jet. You can figure it out yourself!" His tone was laced with sarcasm, as if he were mocking Tang Guoguo's ignorance and naivety.

Tang Guoguo said with a surprised look, "I didn't recognize him. Whose young master is this?" Her eyes were wide open, full of curiosity and surprise.

Su Chu rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Can't you grasp the point? What does it matter to you which family's young master he is? Shouldn't you think about what you would do if he really held you accountable?" His voice revealed a hint of anxiety and worry; he was genuinely worried that Tang Guoguo would get into trouble because of his recklessness.

Tang Guoguo curled her lip and said dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? A big company recently poached me from their company. I heard that no one in Shanghai dares to mess with them. At worst, I'll just jump ship early. I don't believe they'll dare to do anything to me." Her expression was full of confidence and pride, as if she had already found a way to deal with it.

Upon hearing Tang Guoguo's words, a strange expression appeared on Su Chu's face. His eyes deepened, as if he were pondering something. He asked uncertainly, "You're not talking about Longteng Entertainment, a subsidiary of Longteng Group, are you?" His voice carried a hint of doubt and unease.

Tang Guoguo looked at Su Chu with a surprised expression, her eyes wide with doubt. Her voice was tinged with surprise: "How did you know? So you care about me this much, Su Chu? You even know such a private thing. I knew you had feelings for me." A blush of excitement immediately spread across her face, and her hands unconsciously clasped together.

Su Chu didn't explain. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked with a mysterious smile, "Then do you know who the boss of Longteng Group is?"

Although Tang Guoguo didn't understand why Su Chu asked this, she still frowned, tried hard to recall, and then answered directly: "I don't know. I heard he's very mysterious, and not many people have seen him. The current president of Longteng Group is a woman, named Zheng Fangxiu, I think? Why?" Her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

Su Chu pointed towards the office, his smile widening. He said softly, "The man in the consultation room is called Su Chang. Guess who he is?"

Tang Guoguo immediately searched her mind for information about Su Chang, but couldn't think of anything after a long time. Then, as if she had just thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly, "I know!" Her voice was full of confidence.
