Dr. Sun's expression suddenly became very grim.
He was a doctor, with years of medical training and a deep understanding of the human body. He just couldn't understand why people were so obsessed with rumors about Julia Yu's reputation.
In his view, as long as two people truly loved each other and wanted to be together, that was enough.
Even if they fell in love regardless of family background or race, that was absolutely worthy of praise.
But people like Sean Young really weren't worthy of Chief Assistant Yu.
Sean Young saw that Dr. Sun wasn't speaking and got anxious: "Could it really be like people say outside? Julia Yu, for the sake of her career..."
"Sir, please watch your words!" Dr. Sun slammed the pen in his hand onto the table. "Chief Assistant Yu is excellent, truly excellent—she's upright and highly capable. If you slander her character like this, what right do you have to pursue her?"
Sean Young didn't hear anything else, just caught the phrase 'upright,' and immediately asked with excitement, "So you mean Julia Yu is still pure?"
Dr. Sun's face grew even uglier, his cheeks flushing with anger: "Unbelievable! How could Julia Yu possibly be with someone like you?"
Sean Young looked at Dr. Sun in confusion. "What's wrong with being with me? You're a funny guy. I'm just asking you if Julia Yu is pure, why are you so worked up? Don't tell me you like her too? I'm warning you, you can't beat me!"
Sean Young grinned, "As long as she's still pure, that's all I care about! Everything else, I can let go!"
Sean Young left Dr. Sun's office, grinning from ear to ear.
Dr. Sun was speechless. He picked up his pen, finished writing the rest of the prescription, and when he handed it to Chief Assistant Yu, he couldn't help but remind her, "Chief Assistant Yu, you really need to keep your eyes open when choosing a partner!"
Julia Yu laughed, "Thanks for the reminder, but I'm not looking for anyone right now. I just got promoted, work is crazy busy, so I'm not considering that at the moment."
Hearing Julia Yu say that, Dr. Sun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear. When people pursue you, it might look lively, but you have to be careful and choose wisely."
"Alright, thanks for your concern. I'll keep it in mind." Julia Yu carefully put away the prescription Dr. Sun gave her, planning to try it out and take care of her health.
Dr. Sun wanted to say more, but someone called for him. He turned to Julia Yu and said, "I came today just to check your pulse. Now that my job's done, I'll head out."
Useless! All you ever do is mess things up!
"No, that's alright." Dr. Sun shook his head, glanced meaningfully in Sean Young's direction, and said, "We're just not on the same wavelength."
Honestly, they really have nothing in common.
Yeah, they're just not on the same wavelength.
Dr. Sun comes from a long line of doctors, while Sean Young and his crowd are just nouveau riche.
Honestly, they have nothing real to talk about.
Julia Yu didn't push it and smiled, "Alright, I'll see you out."
"No need, no need. Stay here," Dr. Sun said. "I've already made plans to leave with my friends."
Julia Yu nodded.
Even though the party felt dull, she figured she might as well stick around for the drama.
They all respected Dr. Sun.
A family of doctors for generations—there must be something they want from him.
Looking around, Julia Yu realized only the second-generation rich kids were left.
Oh well, as long as Lisa Li is happy.
Not far away, Lisa Li was so excited she was trembling.
She held a paper packet, carefully opened it, and poured a pile of powder into a cup, stirring it with a spoon before setting it aside.
"Go, bring this to Julia Yu," Lisa Li instructed a waiter.
The waiter didn't think much, just picked it up and headed toward Julia Yu.
"Miss Yu, your drink." The server placed the tray in front of Julia Yu. She picked up a glass, but instead of drinking, just held it to her lips.
Lisa Li watched anxiously from afar.
Drink it, drink it, come on, just drink it!
"If Lisa Li wants to dig her own grave, let her. She can drink this herself." Max Mo's voice was cold and emotionless.
But Julia Yu seemed busy sending messages, holding the glass for ages without taking a sip.
In the end, Julia Yu just set the glass aside and focused on replying to messages.
Lisa Li got anxious and hurried over to Julia Yu, wanting to push her to drink the spiked wine.
But then, something unexpected happened.
She'd barely taken two steps when Sean Young blocked her way. "Lisa Li, you told me Julia Yu slept around to get where she is, but I just asked the doctor—she's still a virgin!"
Lisa Li glared at Sean Young, frustrated. "What do you know!?"
"Why wouldn't I know? Maybe I don't, but I don't get why you'd trash Julia Yu's reputation. What do you get out of that?" Sean Young asked.
"You—!" Lisa Li looked up, only to find Julia Yu was already gone!
Useless! All you do is mess things up!
Lisa Li glared at Sean Young. "Why do you care if she's a virgin or not? You like her, you want to marry her, right? Why do you think I called you all here today? I'm trying to help you two get together! Don't you get what good intentions are? If you ruin things today, you'll regret it!"
Lisa Li shoved Sean Young aside and stormed off, fuming.
Such a golden opportunity!
And that idiot ruined it.
Sean Young just looked confused. "Why's she mad? Shouldn't I be the one upset?"
After Julia Yu finished replying to her messages, she remembered she'd left her drink behind.
Oh well, I'll just get another one.
Julia Yu ordered another cocktail and sipped it slowly.
Even though the party felt dull, she figured she might as well stick around for the drama.
What Julia Yu didn't know was that right after she left, someone picked up her untouched drink and walked away.
No one knew where he went, or what he was up to.
Lisa Li's first scheme failed, but she was already plotting her next move.
But she only had a little bit of the drug left—no way to spike another drink.
Just then, a few people walked in and greeted Julia Yu.
Lisa Li hosted the party at a local hotel's open banquet hall, so anyone passing by could see inside.
A few business associates spotted Julia Yu and came over to say hello.
Even though Julia Yu was technically on vacation, being Chief Assistant was always useful.
So when people approached her, Julia Yu quickly turned and chatted with them enthusiastically.
Sean Young and his buddies watched from afar, totally jealous.
"Hey Sean, that bald guy's treating Chief Assistant Yu with so much respect!"
"Are you blind? That bald guy's the general manager of Glory International."
"Whoa, seriously? The GM of Glory International? Such a big boss, and he's so polite to Chief Assistant Yu! She's seriously impressive!"
"No kidding! Didn't you see all those big shots with him? The only company that can compete with Mo Consortium is probably Yin Enterprises, right?"
"I heard Chief Assistant Yu is super close with people from Yin Enterprises! Someone even said the other night, the chief assistant of the Yin family met up with her! Big shots only hang out with other big shots!"
"Sean, now I get why you've got a crush on Chief Assistant Yu! With a status like hers, I'd be interested too!"
"This is your chance to move up in the world, Sean! You gotta seize it!"
"Sean, want some tips on how to win your woman? Listen, women are easy to please—just sleep with her, and if you're her first, she'll be devoted to you forever!"
Sean Young snapped, "Cut it out, don't give me stupid advice."
Still, deep down, Sean Young was starting to believe it.
He'd never seen Julia Yu at work before, so he really had no idea.
But today, he saw it for himself.
When Julia Yu was working, she was so confident and composed—it was absolutely stunning!
If he could win over a woman like her, his life would be perfect.
Meanwhile, Lisa Li saw Julia Yu chatting with several people and was furious!
How was she supposed to set Julia Yu up like this?
Lisa Li stomped her feet in frustration.
No way, she couldn't let Julia Yu off that easily!
She couldn't miss this chance today, no matter what!
So what if she was out of powder?
She'd just buy another pack!
Lisa Li turned and went to the restroom, making a call: "Hello, do you still have that stuff? I need another batch! The address is..."
After hanging up, Lisa Li quickly transferred the money, grinning with satisfaction. She muttered to herself, "I've set up so much drama for you—if you don't cooperate, how can the show go on? Sean Young, don't let me down!"
Downstairs at the hotel.
Max Mo sat quietly in his car, reading a book.
His chief assistant approached, wearing white gloves and holding the very same drink Julia Yu almost consumed—the one with the drug.
"Mr. Mo, we've tested it. There's a banned substance in this drink. If someone drank it, they'd lose consciousness in five minutes." The chief assistant was sweating—he never imagined Lisa Li could be this vicious. "It might even be addictive. Lisa Li really wants to ruin Julia Yu!"
Max Mo's pale blue eyes slowly lifted, and in that moment, all warmth disappeared from his gaze.
"Julia Yu is my right hand, my personally promoted chief assistant. As her boss, I can't just stand by and watch my people get set up like this." Max Mo spoke softly, but if he ignored this, his subordinates would lose faith.
Everyone worked hard for Max Mo—if something happened to Julia Yu, the rest would be in danger too.
"Mr. Mo..." several people spoke up at once.
"If Lisa Li wants to dig her own grave, let her. She can drink this herself." Max Mo's voice was cold and emotionless.
