Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275

Lin Ling snorted coldly, "Since you've hit someone, you must compensate, or else I won't let you get away with it!"

Faced with Lin Ling's threat, Xu Hao remained completely unfazed.

At this moment, a voice came from outside, though it wasn't loud, only Xu Hao could hear it: "The Third Young Master didn't explain why, but he told me to hurry over here. Luckily, I was eating nearby; otherwise, I wouldn't have made it in time."

Xu Hao understood in his heart that this man should be Manager Lu, the sales manager from the Jiangnan Diamond Leather Factory under Zhao Gongli.

When Manager Lu walked in, he was suddenly stunned; he actually saw his secretary Lin Ling here!

What's going on here?

He quickly looked around and found no other familiar faces.

Manager Lu was immediately puzzled, wondering why the Third Young Master had sent him here.

Could it be that the Third Young Master had taken a liking to his secretary?

To him, Lin Ling's appearance and figure were top-notch, and he suddenly thought his guess might be possible.

At this moment, Lin Ling also saw him.

Lin Ling was instantly overjoyed and suddenly threw herself into Manager Lu's arms, crying and complaining, "Manager, they bullied me, and this man even hit me just now! You have to stand up for me!"

Hearing his female secretary cry in his arms, Manager Lu instantly became angry and coldly looked at Xu Hao, questioning, "I wondered why the atmosphere felt so wrong here, turns out you all were bullying Ling! How can you group of men bully Ling? Have you no shame?"

Seeing Manager Lu indeed stand up for her, Lin Ling was immediately delighted.

Xu Hao, after a moment's pause, understood; it seemed that due to the rush, Zhao Gongli forgot to clarify to Manager Lu why he should come. Xu Hao said calmly, "I suggest you wait until Zhao Gongli gets here before speaking, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating you half to death. Zhao Gongli just sent over someone like you? I'm very disappointed."

Hearing Xu Hao's sarcasm, Manager Lu's anger intensified.

Xu Hao dared to call the Third Young Master Zhao directly by name, and his words were so impudent!

Insulting the Third Young Master Zhao was indirectly insulting all those under him!

Manager Lu bit his teeth hard and whispered to Lin Ling, "The Third Young Master told me to come here, but didn't make clear why. However, I guess he might have taken a liking to you. He will arrive soon, and by then, you must attend to the Third Young Master properly, do you hear?!"

Lin Ling was instantly stunned; could it be that the Third Young Master Zhao really had taken a liking to her?

Her heart was truly stirring; that was the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family!

The Zhao Family of Changyang, Jiangnan, was one of the top families in the whole Jiangnan Province. As the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family, countless young women dreamed of marrying Zhao Gongli!

But Zhao Gongli had never been in the news for anything related to romance, causing many young women to feel disheartened. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net

Yet now, Manager Lu tells her that the Third Young Master might be interested in her!

How could she not be excited?

Lin Ling immediately separated from Manager Lu's embrace, quickly adjusting her appearance, and then said, "Manager Lu, are you serious? Why would the Third Young Master be interested in me?"

"I don't know either. I only know the Third Young Master told me to come here, and I only know you here, and you've been bullied, so I think the Third Young Master probably wants me to stand up for you, not let others bully you. Besides, the time when the Third Young Master visited our factory, and I reported to him, you were eavesdropping outside, I know that, and the Third Young Master knows it too. Maybe it was at that time that the Third Young Master took a liking to you."

Manager Lu's gaze towards Lin Ling changed slightly, and he even said somewhat reverently, "Sister Ling, you are going to become the Third Young Master's woman in the future, by then, you must help lift me up a bit!"

Lin Ling glanced at Manager Lu; this guy often took advantage of her, dragging her to do exercise frequently, which she was long sick of. But since she hadn't truly become the Third Young Master's woman yet, she couldn't turn against Manager Lu for now.

Thinking of this, Lin Ling immediately said, "Rest assured, Manager Lu, if I rise to fortune, I certainly won't forget your great kindness!"

Manager Lu shivered all over, although Lin Ling was smiling when she said this, to him, it sounded like a threat.

After all, during this period, he had indeed done many excessive things to her. If the Third Young Master were to blame, he'd be in trouble.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Sister Ling, please don't, I promise I won't dare do such things again; from now on, I'll be like your dog, ready to serve you at a beck and call!"

Seeing the once high and mighty Manager Lu now treating her with such respect, Lin Ling instantly felt an enormous sense of relief.
