Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 50

Five years later, at the airport.

Su Yu wore a light luxury beige trench coat and burgundy sunglasses, pushing a small, delicate suitcase. Her outstanding demeanor made her stand out in the bustling airport hall.

At that moment, an inconspicuous news story on the advertisement screen above caught her attention.

— The Su family was under investigation.

This time, it wasn’t the usual perfunctory investigation. It was serious, with many of their projects forced to halt. If things continued like this, the Su family would be dragged down sooner or later.

Father Su had been overwhelmed with work recently.

No company could withstand a thorough investigation, let alone a major corporation like the Su family’s. If people wanted to find mistakes, they could easily do so.

Father Su had pulled many strings, but ultimately learned that the new mayor had personally made the decision. It was his first significant action since taking office, and the Su family became his first target.

Su Yu had returned to the country specifically because of this matter.

【Is this related to the male lead?】 Su Yu asked.

From the moment she learned the news, she had asked the system to check the connection between the male lead and the new mayor.

The system confirmed her suspicions.

【Two years ago, the male lead accidentally saved the mayor’s life. At the time, neither knew the other’s identity. Because of the male lead’s influence, the mayor admired him and regarded him as a confidant, even though he had saved his life.】

Su Yu: 【…】

What could she say? The male lead’s luck was extraordinary. Saving random people turned out to be powerful figures.

【What do you plan to do now, Host?】

Su Yu didn’t respond but instead asked: 【What’s the progress of the mission?】

The system was silent for two seconds: 【Fifty percent.】

…Fifty… still fifty.

In other words, after five years, there had been no progress between the male and female leads.

Su Yu was exasperated.

【No, I can’t just sit back and watch my family go bankrupt. I have to ask the male lead for help.】

She would also subtly suggest rekindling their relationship, playing her role as the villainous ex-girlfriend to stir things up and assist the main couple.

Su Yu refused to believe that after she had been so ruthless five years ago, the male lead could still have feelings for her.

This time, she would not fail her mission!

True to her word, the next day Su Yu appeared outside the male lead’s company.

Huaiyu Technology.

Su Yu glanced at the company’s name before slowly turning her gaze toward the imposing front entrance. She stepped forward and entered the bright, glossy lobby.

As expected, she was stopped by the receptionist.

“Sorry, you can’t enter without an appointment.”

Su Yu frowned slightly but kept her tone gentle: “I’m looking for Qi Huaizhi. We know each other. Just let him know I’m here.”

A few minutes later, Su Yu was politely escorted out of the company.

“…”

Perfect. That’s the attitude. The colder the better—she liked it.

Upstairs in the office, Qi Huaizhi stood by the window, coldly watching the woman below.

After five years, she had finally returned.

Or rather, she still had the nerve to come back, and to this place, no less.

Five years was enough to change many things.

The once naive and upright young man had transformed into a formidable figure in the business world. His face hadn’t changed much, but it carried the weight of experience and maturity.

Since that incident five years ago, Su Yu had left the country.

She had left without a word, gone abroad as an exchange student, and hadn’t returned after graduating. At least, Qi Huaizhi hadn’t seen her.

Sometimes he thought she was feeling guilty.

Other times, he wondered if Su Yu had truly never loved him, so much so that she stayed abroad for five years to avoid him.

The phone beside him remained silent.

She hadn’t chosen to call him.

Downstairs, the woman stood there for a moment, and then a car came to pick her up.

Qi Huaizhi clenched his fists, then released them, smirking sarcastically. She didn’t even try to persist. Did she really expect him to help her with such little sincerity? Dream on!

Yes, Qi Huaizhi knew why Su Yu had come.

In fact, the issue with the Su family had unfolded under his tacit approval. After observing indifferently for over a month, he had finally drawn Su Yu back.

The next day, Su Yu returned.

This time, no one drove her away, but no one paid her any attention either.

She idly sat on the waiting area sofa, playing on her phone until it ran out of battery. After asking the receptionist again and receiving a negative response, she finally left.

In the upstairs office, Qi Huaizhi’s assistant cautiously observed his expression. “President Qi, that young lady… has left.”

Qi Huaizhi’s gaze sharpened. “When did she leave?”

“Just now.”

Qi Huaizhi mentally calculated, the corners of his lips curling into a mocking smile. She had lasted quite a while today.

“If she comes again tomorrow, bring her up,” he instructed indifferently.

The assistant nodded, even more curious about Su Yu’s relationship with President Qi.

All day long, President Qi had asked about that woman downstairs no less than eight hundred times.

He had never shown such interest in anyone before—not even Director Bai.

Rumor had it that she was an old friend of President Qi.

What kind of old friend?

Seeing the distracted look on his boss’s face, as if his soul had been captivated by Miss Su, the assistant detected a hint of scandalous intrigue, and his gaze became mischievous.

On the third day.

Just when Su Yu thought Qi Huaizhi was going to continue ignoring her, the receptionist suddenly informed her that someone would come to take her upstairs.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted her expression, smiling in relief.

“Thank you.”

She thanked the receptionist, took out a mirror to tidy up her appearance, and quietly waited.

The receptionist, meanwhile, sneakily observed this beautiful woman who had been sent away one day, ignored the next, and finally allowed upstairs on the third day, supposedly an acquaintance of the president.

Something was off—there was definitely gossip here.

Before she could ponder further, someone arrived to escort Su Yu.

When she saw who it was, the receptionist’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Good day, Special Assistant Zhang!”

It was none other than the president’s personal assistant, Zhang. Wow, this was quite the reception. Now the receptionist was even more curious about Miss Su’s relationship with the president.

Special Assistant Zhang, refined and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, nodded in response.

Then he turned his attention to Su Yu.

Seeing Miss Su up close, her gentle, elegant aura reminded him of a serene water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It was hard not to be captivated by her clear, lake-like eyes.

He couldn’t help but soften his voice.

“Miss Su, President Qi has asked me to take you upstairs.”

Su Yu looked at him and asked, “He’s willing to see me?”

Remembering his boss’s instructions, Special Assistant Zhang was embarrassed for a second.

“Well… Miss Su, please follow me upstairs first.”

To save time, he led Su Yu up using the president’s private elevator.

In the lounge, someone brought tea.

Special Assistant Zhang said, “President Qi is in a meeting right now. Please wait here for a moment.”

With that, he quietly left.

Glancing back at the composed and graceful woman drinking tea, Special Assistant Zhang turned and headed for the president’s office. After knocking, he entered.

“President Qi, as per your instructions, Miss Su is now waiting in the lounge.”

Had Su Yu seen this scene, she would have realized that Qi Huaizhi was not in a meeting at all. He was just in his office, intentionally leaving her to wait.

Hearing this, Qi Huaizhi’s attention briefly shifted from the documents he was reviewing.
