Shi Xiao said, “I will. I’ll ask him about the situation after I go home tonight.”

Shi Xiao changed the topic back to business. “You’ve been here for a week now. Did you find anyone suspicious?”

Yuan Shu shook her head. “I’ve deliberately kept a distance from everyone for the past week so that everyone would think that 1 was still putting on airs and no one would cause trouble for me.”

Shi Xiao agreed. “If you give them a chance to get close to you right away, they definitely won’t reveal everything so easily. On the contrary, if you put on airs at the beginning but deliberately get close to them afterwards, they will think that you’re trying to curry favor with the employees because you don’t have a good relationship with the Shi family. They will think that they have a chance.”

Yuan Shu continued, “As long as they take action, they will definitely expose themselves.”

Shi Xiao agreed. “If you need any help, come to me directly. You can come up from the exclusive elevator. No one will notice. The elevator password is 926534.”

“Will do.”

After finishing discussing the business, Shi Xiao asked her, “flow’s your stay there? Are you used to it?”

Yuan Shu relaxed and said, “Of course I’m used to it. Shi Lu helped me buy furniture and daily necessities, just like in the Shi family’s home. Shi Yi also came and brought me some new clothes. 1 don’t lack anything there. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.”

Shi Xiao nodded and watched Yuan Shu leave.

When Yuan Shu returned to the technical department, she could clearly feel that someone was secretly observing her. She looked around but didn’t see who that person was.

Today was Yuan Shu’s first time reporting. Everyone was waiting for Yuan Shu to speak.

In their opinion, Yuan Shu wasn’t reporting her work, but snitching. Perhaps after she left Shi Xiao’s office, some people would have to leave.

Of course, Yuan Shu knew that everyone was nervous at this moment, so she deliberately walked to the middle of everyone’s work desks and stopped. Then, she said to her assistant, Cheng Cheng, “Cheng Cheng, please come to the office with me.”

Cheng Cheng froze for a moment. Then, she quickly put down her work and followed Yuan Shu to the office.

As soon as the door of Yuan Shu’s office closed, there was a commotion in the office.

Employee A said, “How strange. Ever since Young Madam came to the corporation, she has never called anyone to the office alone. Today, she asked Cheng Cheng to go to the office for the first time!”

Employee B said, “Do you think it’s possible that when Young Madam went to report, Young Master lost his temper at her and she knew that her status was in danger, so she suddenly wanted to improve her relationship with us?”

Employee C said, “1 saw her aggrieved expression just now. That must be the case! Rumor has it that Young Master and Young Madam are getting a divorce. It might be true! In wealthy families, marriage is really fragile. Two days ago, she was still wandering around the company with him. In the next two days, they’re going to get a divorce!”

Just as everyone was discussing excitedly, the door of Yuan Shu’s office suddenly opened. Cheng Cheng walked out and closed the door before sitting down nervously.

After the others glanced at the office and confirmed that Yuan Shu hadn’t followed them out, they leaned over and asked Cheng Cheng, “What did Young Madam ask you?”

Cheng Cheng didn’t understand the situation and replied, “She didn’t say anything in particular.”

The person who asked didn’t believe her and said, “If she didn’t say anything in particular, why did you go in for so long? Just tell us. We definitely won’t spread the news. Moreover, Young Madam has been here for so long. We’re not familiar with her and don’t know her temper. Tell us the truth so that we can understand.”

Cheng Cheng said helplessly, “But Young Madam really didn’t say anything. Why don’t you guys believe me?!”

Everyone returned to their seats with pursed lips and complained, “Isn’t it just a few words? Why is she unwilling to tell us? What’s there to put on airs about?”

Cheng Cheng was the most helpless. After she was called to the office, Yuan Shu only asked her when she came to the company, how long she stayed here, what kind of work she was mainly in charge of every day, and told her to send a bottle of spring water to Yuan Shu’s office every day in the future. Then, she left.. Why did these people refuse to believe what she said?
