Chapter 666: Chapter 666
Lin Chen had just returned to the villa when he received a call from his aunt Ecaris.
"Lin Chen, something has happened to Sophina's family." Ecaris's voice was grave.
"Happened? What happened? Don't tell me Sophina was so heartbroken from being rejected by me that she attempted suicide!" Lin Chen laughed.
"Don't flatter yourself too much. The patriarch of the Sophina family has suddenly fallen gravely ill and is unconscious, and recently, the Sophina Group has been in big trouble because of counterfeit products. Today, several major shareholders of the Sophina Group are holding a meeting to impeach Sophina." Ecaris said.
"Isn't that even better? If the Sophina family falls, it saves us the trouble of taking revenge." Lin Chen said with a laugh.
"That's not the outcome I want. I want to find out the truth, so the Sophina family cannot be brought down right now." Ecaris's tone was serious.
"So what should I do?" asked Lin Chen.
"I need you to help Sophina through this difficult time," Ecaris said.
"Alright, then. I'll pay a visit to the Sophina Group and see who dares to bully my wife," Lin Chen said brightly.
The Sophina Group was one of the top companies in Mans City, and its location was even more prestigious, in the heart of the city.
Looking at the towering skyscraper, Lin Chen could not help but exclaim, "My wife really is quite wealthy."
Lin Chen walked straight towards the building.
But as soon as he got to the entrance, he was stopped by two security guards.
The guards looked Lin Chen up and down, noting his tank top, baggy shorts with holes in them, and feet clad in mud-smeared slippers.
"You're here for a delivery, wait downstairs, you can't go in," said one guard directly.
Lin Chen felt somewhat annoyed at being taken for a delivery man.
"With this handsome look and aura of wealth, how could I possibly be here for a delivery?" Lin Chen said dissatisfied.
"If not for a delivery, then are you here to beg? Scram, scram, scram, this is no place for you to enter," the other guard jabbed.
"Hey, I'm here to find someone, let me through," Lin Chen said, not wanting to waste time with the guards.
"Find someone? Who are you looking for?" one guard asked.
"Of course, I'm looking for my wife. Move aside, I'm in a hurry," Lin Chen huffed.
Just then, the sound of high heels clicked near the doorway. Lin Chen turned his head and found his gaze firmly seized by the beauty approaching.
The woman who walked in was a stunner—a top-notch 'sister' in a black OL (office lady) suit, tall and slender, with delicate features and a bountiful chest. Suddenly Lin Chen's gaze intensified as he realized something off about her chest—it was all padded.
"Ah, from a perfect score, this just knocked it down to ninety," Lin Chen shook his head in regret.
Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, the beauty approached. Seeing Lin Chen in his bargain-bin clothes, she couldn't help but frown, "Who is this, blocking the entrance?"
She looked disdainfully at Lin Chen.
The two security guards, noticing the high-end sister, quickly said, "Manager Kasha, this man said he's looking for someone. We were about to throw him out."
"Be quick about it, do not let him affect the company's image," Kasha said, frowning.
After speaking, Kasha stepped into high heels and walked inside.
"Sister, I really am here to find someone. Do you know Sophina?" Lin Chen hurriedly said.
"Nani! Sister?" Kasha's gaze suddenly chilled on hearing Lin Chen's words.
"What did you call me?" Kasha turned around, fuming.
"Wait, little steamed bun sister, I really am here to find someone. I'm looking for my wife Sophina. If you can help me find her, I can help you," Lin Chen called out hastily.
"What did you say?" On hearing Lin Chen's words, Kasha and the guards were stunned.
"I said I can help you turn little steamed buns into big ones!" Lin Chen said earnestly.
"Not that line, you said Sophina is your what?" Kasha stared at Lin Chen with an odd expression.
"I said Sophina is my wife!" Lin Chen declared resolutely.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Kasha and the guards laughed so hard they held their stomachs.
After laughing a moment, Kasha said, "You must be nuts. How could President Sophina be your wife? Get this lunatic out of here now!"
The guards also mocked, "Kid, you must still be dreaming. Get lost, or don't blame us for being rude."
Lin Chen was speechless, seeing that talking reasonably wasn't going to get him in. His eyes flashed, and he quickly located Sophina within the building.
As the guards reached out to shove Lin Chen out, suddenly his shoulders shivered, and the guards' hands went numb, involuntarily releasing their grip.
Kasha was about to explode in anger when Lin Chen, like a gust of wind, rushed onto the elevator that was about to close.
"Damn it! Catch him, he cannot be allowed to make a mess in the company. And once caught, beat him hard!" Kasha stomped her foot angrily and yelled at the guards.
The guards snapped out of it and urgently grabbed their walkie-talkies, calling the building's security, "Guys, there's a kid in a white tank top, baggy shorts with holes, and slippers who sneaked into the building. Catch him and beat him hard."
At this moment, in the conference room atop the building, a conspiracy was unfolding.
Sitting in the middle of the conference table was a woman dressed in business attire with an ample bust and the demeanor of an ice queen. She was Sophina, the president of the Sophina Group and the sole heir to the company.
But at this moment, Sophina's eyes blazed with anger as she slammed a report down on the table, "I want to know what's going on with this counterfeit incident!"
On either side of the conference table sat five men in suits. To Sophina's left was a very young, dignified young man, and the others were middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.
These were the top brass of the group, members of the company's board of directors.
Then, a bald middle-aged man stood up. His name was Kai Ming, a veteran figure in the group.
"President Sophina, after our investigation, we found that the manager of the marketing department, Zhou Hua, for his personal gain, had procured goods through unofficial channels. This Zhou Hua is also your confidant, so I think you should take responsibility for this!" Kai Ming said coldly.
