Chapter 1 A Glimpse of a Swan in Flight

  It was early in the morning, and Su Nianqing hadn't even had time to eat breakfast yet, but he rushed to the construction site to inspect the last item of the engineering installation project. Before he arrived at the construction site, his mobile phone started vibrating.

  Assistant Ling called over, anxiously explaining that the installation worker had an accident and is being rushed to the hospital!

  I had planned to finish checking the last item of work today and take a good rest for a few days, and also give them a day off, but now everything is messed up!

  Driving the car, I rushed to the hospital in a hurry. When I stopped at the red light, I called Linglong again and asked about the situation of the accident. It turned out that the construction worker did not fasten his safety belt and fell from the scaffolding!

  Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise this government engineering case would have ended in a major accident! At that time, what awaited her was not only a huge compensation but also a significant loss of reputation.

  In recent years, she has been most concerned about the safety of outdoor work and has never dared to be careless. In the advertising industry, all safety hazards are concentrated in high-altitude operations. When she first entered the industry, her seniors repeatedly warned her to be cautious!

  She pushed open the door and looked at the doctor who was making the final check, her nerves tightened with anxiety. "Doctor, how are they? Are their injuries serious?"

  The doctor closed the file folder, looked up at her and asked, "Are you a family member?"

  "No, I am in charge of engineering."

  Upon hearing this, the doctor couldn't help but chuckle and closed the file in his hand. He looked up at the person in charge and said, "You're actually a responsible person with a conscience! Usually when something happens to an ordinary worker, their supervisor would try to avoid responsibility. But you're different! The patient is fine, just a few fractures and abrasions. A few days of observation in the hospital will do!"

  "Thank you doctor, thank you so much!" Hearing that they were fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief! If something had happened, her five years of effort would have been all for nothing!

  "Get someone to handle the hospital formalities!" The male doctor took a glance at her, turned around and walked out. Su Nianqing nodded slightly towards Linglong beside her, "Go!"

  The ward fell silent again, and the two injured workers looked at her with a guilty expression, not knowing what to say for a while. They hadn't been in contact with this female boss for long, but she was kind and considerate of their hard work, even buying insurance for them. Not all bosses would treat them like that!

  "I don't want the same thing to happen again, and I won't be responsible if there's another accident due to carelessness and neglect of safety! This time's medical expenses I will take responsibility for, and I'll also fight for you with the insurance company. Hope you can remember today's lesson!"

  "Thank you boss..." The two workers looked at her with gratitude, moved to the point of tears!

  Out of the hospital, Ling quietly followed behind her, for a moment not knowing what to say. Originally, supervising work had always been her responsibility, this time something happened, she also had responsibility.

  "Boss, if you want to blame someone, blame me!" Having followed her for so many years, she wouldn't be unaware of what she's worried about. If today's accident escalates into serious casualties, the company's reputation will definitely plummet. The efforts they've made over the past five years would all be in vain!

  She actually still has a lot of respect for this superior! She is different from the other female strongmen she has met, Su Nianqing is a product of two extremes combined. When she is gentle, she is absolutely a virtuous and gentle good woman, but when she becomes fierce, she is completely like a man, doing things with clarity and decisiveness, swift and decisive, never dragging her feet!

  When they first started doing advertising, they were also ridiculed by a group of men. In less than three years, this former golden miss who was looked down upon by everyone broke many records in the industry with her own two hands and strong negotiating skills.

  Leaning against the wall, Su Nianqing turned his head and glanced at her, smiling lightly. "It's okay, I'm also responsible for this matter. From now on, you must remember that when it comes to high-altitude operations, you must be extremely careful and cautious. When climbing the shelf, you must ensure 100% safety! Maybe I've been too busy lately and forgot to remind you to be careful, don't blame yourself!"

  The words were spoken lightly and casually, but when they reached Ling's ears, the tone changed, becoming a mix of sourness and pain.

  It's been three years since I've been working alongside Su Nianqing, and over the years, she's seen her struggle to get where she is today, bit by bit building up the company. From New Year's to year-end, she's always busy as if fighting a war, never really taking a good rest!

  A emotional expert once said that two things make a woman successful: one is self-respect and the other is men.

  For Su Nian Qing, that man named Chu Si Han was her everything. She loved him, even more than she loved herself.

  Every time she sees Su Nianqing working hard for that man, she can't help but feel heartache. She can't imagine how much love it would take to be so selfless and uncomplaining.

  "I've always been puzzled, what's so special about that Chu Zong that makes you work so hard to be his stepping stone. Isn't it just because he has a good-looking face? There are many handsome men out there, and even more who are richer than him, why does it have to be him?"

  Upon hearing this, Su Nianqin turned her head to glance at Linglong with a hint of gentle warmth in her raised eyebrows and eyes, an expression that only appeared on her face when mentioning Chu Sihan.

  Linglong first saw her with this expression three years ago, when she had just graduated and came to apply for a job. It happened that Su Nianqing was on the phone at that time, with a gentle and shy little woman's demeanor in her eyebrows and eyes, making people feel warm all over after just one glance.

  Perhaps the pleasant mood had not yet dissipated, her interview was more relaxed than any other company. Su Nianqing only asked her a few questions and opinions before letting her go to work. It wasn't until they worked together that she truly saw the strong side of this woman.

  "There's a saying that behind every successful man is a great woman. I may not be great, but at least I don't want to be the one holding him back."

  She loves him, for his sake she can learn to be independent, learn to be filial, learn to be considerate, learn to understand him, support him, comfort him and help him. As long as she fulfills the responsibilities and obligations of a girlfriend, that's enough.

  She paused for a moment and casually changed the subject: "Has the insurance company been notified? This time's accident, you try to get compensation for the workers."

  "Ah, I know! I'll notify the insurance company to come over! Fortunately, you had also bought insurance for those workers previously, otherwise we would have had another huge expense this time!"

  Su Nianqing just smiled faintly, "From now on, pay close attention to all big and small matters related to safety, don't let anything go wrong again!"

  "I got it!" Linglong nodded seriously and took note of it. Safety issues had always been their top concern, so they couldn't afford to be careless!

  She found the car key and asked Linglong, "Have you had breakfast? Want to go together?"

  "Alright!" Just then, Su Nianqing's phone rang.

  "Brother... what?! Okay, I know, I'll rush back right away!" She hung up the phone and turned to Ling with a pale face, her voice trembling with tension: "Sorry, my grandfather had a sudden heart attack and is hospitalized, I have to rush back to Beijing immediately! The company's matters are left to you, if anything happens, call me!"

  "Alright, I know!" Just after she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly chased after him, "Boss, it's during the Two Sessions now, many delegates, reporters and media are flying to Beijing, don't know if we can still book a ticket, let me call ahead to ask, you drive carefully!"

  "Alright, thank you!" The car took a sharp turn and quickly merged into traffic.

  Dividing line

  I don't know if today is her Black Friday, one thing after another has made her overwhelmed. When she was on the bus, Linglong had already called her because it coincided with the two sessions period, and almost no tickets could be booked to Beijing from the airline!

  She didn't give up hope that there would be a passenger who cancelled their ticket at the last minute, rushed anxiously to the airport, and searched for the next flight to Beijing on the bulletin board in the hall, which was an hour later.

  After finding the corresponding ticket counter number, she ran over quickly, and on the way, she accidentally bumped into someone. She hurriedly apologized and didn't take a closer look at the other person before quickly walking towards the counter.

  She seemed to have heard a faintly cool voice saying: It's okay.

  She rushed over, not paying much attention to anything else, and there were already many people at the ticket counter. She didn't care about the order and squeezed in, without even catching her breath, she asked: "Excuse me, can I still buy a ticket for the flight to Beijing an hour later?"

  The airport ticket seller looked at her with a friendly expression, turned to check the ticket records on the computer, and then apologetically told her: "Sorry, all tickets for flights to Beijing an hour later have been sold out."

  "What about today's other flights?"

  "I'm very sorry, but due to the upcoming Two Sessions, all flights for today have been sold out. Tomorrow's flights..."

  She hadn't finished speaking, when Su Nianqing hastily interrupted her, "Please, please, I really have an urgent matter to rush back to Beijing, would you mind helping me see if there's a refund for my ticket? I really must rush back today!"

  Her brother said on the phone that grandfather's condition was not optimistic. She feared that if she delayed her return, she would never see her grandfather again!

  The ticket seller gave the same answer after inquiring, Su Nianqing stood still, anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, and when she got the same answer again, she was so disappointed that she almost cried out!

  In her anxiety, she turned around to look at the group of passengers queuing behind her, some of whom were also flying to Beijing. She didn't have time to think much and sincerely asked if any passenger would be willing to exchange tickets with her.

  After begging for a long time, those travelers were also in a hurry to leave and refused to give up their tickets to her. Thinking of her beloved grandfather, she was so anxious that she almost knelt down to beg them!

  A few meters away, many travelers stopped and watched her actions, but no one was willing to come forward and offer a helping hand.

  "Xu Heng, give her my vote." The two figures who had just stopped at the edge of the crowd spoke up in unison, their clear voices carrying over without a hint of sympathy or charity, as a faint scent of menthol wafted through the noisy air.

  "What? But tomorrow is the meeting..."

  Xu Heng's words were not yet finished, the ticket and ID card had been stuffed into his own hands. When he looked up, he saw that he had taken off the red certificate hanging from his chest. "As a public servant, you must live up to this representative certificate. Go to the counter and tell the ticket seller, and by the way, call the person in charge of the airline, special circumstances, let them make an exception, just say it's my intention."

  Xu Heng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile, "Yes! I know!"

  It was the first time he saw this dignified and elegant man use his power to bully an ordinary citizen.

  Pushing through the crowd, Xu Heng patted the figure of a traveler who was begging for a ticket and said, "Miss, I have a ticket to Beijing here, would you mind coming with me to handle it? There's still some time, I'll try to get it for you."
