The office door was closed, so Shi Xiao couldn’t hear what was being said inside. He could only see the situation through the transparent glass wall.

Shi Xiao nodded at Zhao Mian, who immediately knocked on the door.

The sound of knocking on the door attracted everyone’s attention and they immediately looked out of the door warily.

Zhang Ting took off his sunglasses and put on a pair of frame glasses. His small eyes looked a little wretched and his slicked-back hairstyle made him look silly. He didn’t even look as smart as the secretary beside him, nor did he look as cool as he did on the second floor of the exhibition hall.

It seemed like he was just pretending just now.

Zhang Ting’s secretary felt that these two people looked familiar. They seemed to be the general manager of some company.

Seeing that the three of them were very puzzled, Zhao Mian introduced herself before they could ask, “Hello, we’re from Yuan An Technology Company. We were invited to the exhibition and picked up an employee card in the exhibition hall, so we’re here to send it to you.”

With that, Zhao Mian took out the secretary’s employee card to prove the authenticity of her words.

When the secretary saw the employee card in Zhao Mian’s hand, he quickly looked at the employee card hanging on his chest. Indeed, it had fallen at some point.

He extended his hands politely and took his employee card. Then, he thanked them, “It’s indeed my employee card. I really have to thank you for helping me find my employee card. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get off work.

I’ll send you guys down personally.”

As soon as the secretary took back his employee card, he started to chase them out. He was obviously worried that if the two of them continued to stay here, it would affect their conversation with Mo Shu.

Just as Zhao Mian was about to find an excuse to stay, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the innermost part of the office. “1 didn’t expect the general manager of the Shi Corporation to have the time to personally deliver an employee card.”

As soon as he said this, other than Mo Shu, everyone else’s expressions changed. Zhang Ting and the secretary obviously didn’t know who these two people were, so they were stunned. Zhao Mian and Shi Xiao were shocked, since they didn’t expect to meet an old acquaintance here.

There were a total of three sides to the glass wall. The curtains were drawn on the innermost wall, and there was a bonsai tree beside the desk. In addition, this person was sitting in an office chair with his back facing the door. The back of the chair covered his entire body, so Shi Xiao and the others didn’t see a fourth person in the room.

What surprised them even more was that the fourth person was Tan Jing. Shi Xiao knew that he had participated in the exhibition from the start, but he didn’t show up at all.

No wonder he couldn’t find him in the exhibition hall. It turned out that he came straight to the general manager’s office as soon as he entered the building. It seemed that he wasn’t here for the exhibition at all. He already knew the general manager here.

Shi Xiao looked at Tan Jing, who was sitting on the office chair. He had just turned the chair around and revealed his face. When their gazes met, tension filled the air.

Tan Jing was angry with Shi Xiao now. He had worked so hard to manage No Man’s Land for so long, but Shi Xiao caused trouble and the entire place was sealed by the police. He had not found a chance to vent his anger. Since he had met Shi Xiao today, he would settle the scores!

Zhao Mian could be said to be Shi Xiao’s intelligence center. She had all the information that Shi Xiao wanted to know. However, she didn’t know that Tan Jing had ties with Dun Yuan Technology Company. She had always thought that Tan Jing only opened a software company. She didn’t expect that even this software company was part of his plan.

Shi Xiao and Tan Jing stared at each other for a long time. Shi Xiao suddenly retracted his gaze and smiled casually as he said, “Young Master Tan, we meet again.”

After Shi Xiao suddenly retracted his gaze, Tan Jing didn’t have time to change his expression. Hence, his expression was a little strange.

Tan Jing moved his stiff body and said sarcastically, “Young Master Shi, why aren’t you managing Yuan An company? Why did you barge into someone else’s company instead?”
