Chapter 147 Hidden Strength
As soon as Su Heng left, those who had talked about Jiang Man before all smiled at her and came up to her to try to please her. Xiao Zheng was dismissive of this attitude and said, "Mr. Su may have something important to discuss with you. You should go quickly and don't keep him waiting for too long." After he said this, he glanced around and indirectly rejected those who came to try to please him.
"Okay, then I'll go. Please ask for leave for me from Manager Lin." Jiang Man packed his handbag and left.
Jiang Lu looked at Jiang Man's back, gritting her teeth. Looking at Sun Yong who was sitting in his seat in silence, she felt that he was incompetent.
Jiang Man arrived at the company gate. Su Heng's car was parked not far away. She walked over familiarly and got into the car. "Is there something urgent?" she asked in a businesslike tone.
Su Heng glanced at her and answered directly, "No."
Jiang Man looked at him in confusion. Su Heng had always been diligent and conscientious in the company, and never abused his power for personal gain. What happened today?
"Where are we going then?" she asked.
"Take you out to play." He said lightly, as if it was a matter of course.
Seeing Jiang Man's doubt, Su Heng rubbed his slightly aching temple and asked, "Can't I take you out to play if I'm fine?"
"Why do you suddenly want to go out and play? Don't you want to work anymore?" Jiang Man frowned, a little puzzled.
"Leave me alone."
Jiang Man was speechless.
The car drove to the lake, where there was a place to rent small boats.
Because this is a holy place for couples, there are many people.
Jiang Man looked at the people boating on the lake with great interest.
Su Heng glanced at her and asked, "Are you interested?"
Jiang Man quickly shook his head, "Let's go back."
Su Heng parked the car on the side of the road and got out first. Jiang Man had no choice but to follow him, and they got out together.
A couple was playing and joking around them.
The boy said to the girl next to him without any shame, "No one here can row as good as me. Look, there are people over there who are rowing off the track." He pointed at the boats in the lake and commented on them one by one.
The girl looked at him with some doubt, "You just know how to brag. Show me how to draw it."
"What's so difficult about this?" the boy said with a look of disdain.
"Excuse me, where is the place to rent a boat?" Su Heng asked politely.
"In..." The girl turned her head and was about to give him directions, but when she turned around and saw Su Heng, she was stunned.
Seeing his girlfriend looking at Su Heng with an obsessed look on her face, the boy felt a little displeased and blocked her sight. "Over there, over there." He pointed to the tin house not far away.
"Thank you." Su Heng nodded in thanks and took Jiang Man beside him and walked towards the rental house.
"Can you row a boat?" Jiang Man asked.
Su Heng raised his eyes and glanced at her, obviously unhappy. "You doubt me?"
Jiang Man laughed out loud, "Will this hurt President Su's noble self-esteem?"
"Yeah." He nodded seriously, not satisfied with her answer.
Jiang Man coughed and restrained his smile. "I think that President Su is a man of both civil and military talents. There is nothing in this world that can stump President Su."
"That's pretty good." Enjoying her praise, Su Heng's mouth corners slightly raised.
After walking over, Su Heng rented a boat. He stretched out his long legs and stepped onto the boat.
Jiang Man watched in fear and trepidation. She was a landlubber to begin with, and this was simply torture for her.
She walked slowly. Su Heng raised his eyelids, saw her fear, and stretched out his hand.
Jiang Man stared blankly at his outstretched hand, and as if making up her mind, she reached out and held it. In an instant, she felt a warm touch.
From the moment her hand was placed on his, Su Heng held it tightly and pulled it forward. Jiang Man closed her eyes and did not feel any fear. It seemed that as long as he was by her side, she felt at ease.
Su Heng looked down at the woman who was still hugging him tightly, a smile on his face, "How long are you going to hold me like this?"
Jiang Man opened his eyes and quickly let go, "I didn't mean to do that."
Su Heng didn't say much, with a smile on his face. Seeing his smile, Jiang Man felt a little annoyed, "Forget it."
It’s better to say nothing.
Next to the boat, there were several other small boats, and the couple happened to be among them.
The woman waved enthusiastically at Su Heng, "Hi, handsome! We meet again!"
Su Heng just glanced at her lightly and then looked away, not even bothering to respond.
Seeing his girlfriend being so enthusiastic about other men, the man hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and sit tight, don't rock around! Be careful not to fall into the water!"
His girlfriend rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you say you were a top-notch rower? If I fell, you wouldn't save me?"
After hearing what she said, the man was speechless and dared not say another word.
He turned his head and caught a glimpse of Su Heng. He couldn't help but feel an urge to save face in front of his girlfriend, so he provocatively bumped the bow of his boat towards Su Heng's boat, "Hey, are you interested in a rowing race?"
Su Heng ignored it at first, but the man kept hitting Jiang Man with the bow of the boat, and Jiang Man's face turned even paler, and he clung to the side of the boat tightly.
Su Heng finally narrowed his eyes and looked at the man, a sneer on his lips, "How do we compare? Tell me."
"Ignore him." Jiang Man advised in a low voice.
Su Heng glanced at her and said slowly, "There are some people who shine brightly when given a little sunshine."
Jiang Man was stunned. He didn't expect that President Su had such a tough side!
The man shouted from the other end, "Let's start from here. Whoever reaches the other end first wins! How do you say that?"
Jiang Man hurriedly approached Su Heng and whispered, "I don't know how to row a boat."
Su Heng glanced at her and said, "I didn't expect you to."
"Then why did you agree to compete?"
"Do you think I will lose?" he asked expressionlessly.
Jiang Man thought about it and felt that this man seemed to be confident in everything he did.
"Can we start now? Do you want me to teach you a few moves?" the other party challenged again.
Su Heng glanced at him and gripped the oar, "Hold on tight." He reminded Jiang Man.
"Yeah." Jiang Man nodded and held the handrail on the side of the boat tightly.
The two small boats soon began to sway on the water. Compared with the nervous expression of the man opposite, Su Heng seemed unusually calm.
"Have you ever rowed a boat before?" she asked curiously.
"This is the first time." He answered with extraordinary ease.
Jiang Man was really eye-opening this time. There really are people who can do anything with ease!
Perhaps because Su Heng was born smart, he quickly mastered the skills of rowing.
On the other side, the man who was bragging just now was in trouble. The harder he paddled, the more the boat spun in place.
As a result, he got himself soaked, and his girlfriend opposite him kept complaining.
Jiang Man couldn't help laughing as he looked at the ship moving farther and farther behind him. He then looked at Su Heng and suddenly commented, "Su Heng, I think you're hiding your strength."
