After Yuan Shu and Wei Ci confirmed the details of the plan again, Yuan Shu signed the plan and started implementing it.

The meeting ended before lunch. Yuan Shu politely invited Wei Ci to eat in the company canteen. Wei Ci was surprised, but didn’t refuse.

Wei Ci closed the document on the table and put it in her bag before saying, “Shi Bin and I are classmates at university. I heard that he’s also working at the Shi Corporation now. I wonder if you can invite him over for a meal as well so that we can catch up.”

Yuan Shu couldn’t help but look at Wei Ci again, but the girl smiled sincerely and didn’t avoid Yuan Shu’s gaze at all.

Yuan Shu was a little disappointed that she didn’t find anything suspicious.

Yuan Shu agreed with a smile and asked her assistant, Cheng Cheng, to inform Shi Bin to come to the office.

Shi Bin quickly rushed to the office. When he saw Wei Ci, he was a little surprised. When Cheng Cheng called him, he only told him that Yuan Shu was looking for him, but he didn’t say that Wei Ci was also there.

What surprised him even more was that he had only placed Wei Ci’s business card on Yuan Shu’s desk, but Yuan Shu really accepted his suggestion and reached an agreement with Wei Ci so quickly.

Shi Bin greeted Yuan Shu, “Hello, Sister-in-law.”

Seeing how well-behaved Shi Bin was, Wei Ci thought she was seeing things.

In her impression, Shi Bin had always been the school bully and was enemies with Tan Zhao. Even though she and Shi Bin weren’t in the same major, news of their fights spread throughout the entire school. She didn’t expect this school bully to be so obedient in front of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu glanced at him calmly and nodded slightly as she said, “You two are classmates and she happened to come to the company today, so you should do your best to be a good host.”

After a pause, Yuan Shu continued, “Find a restaurant outside to eat. The company’s canteen is a little too shabby.”

If the employees of the corporation heard this, their jaws would probably drop agape in shock. The corporation’s canteen provided all kinds of international cuisines. Moreover, every cuisine had the best chef to cook it. It was better than the restaurants outside!

Moreover, the restaurant’s renovation style was very luxurious. There was a leather sofa and lavish seats. No one would believe that this was a company’s canteen. However, Yuan Shu said that it was ‘shabby’. According to Yuan Shu’s standards, how luxurious should the canteen be?!

Wei Ci smiled and said, “There’s no need for the trouble. The company’s cafeteria is good enough.”

Yuan Shu said, “How can that do? You’re Shi Bin’s classmate. We can’t neglect you.”

Wei Ci wanted to decline, but when she saw Yuan Shu’s gaze, she swallowed her words.

Yuan Shu seemed to see through her, and Wei Ci suddenly felt a little guilty. She thought that she had hidden her ulterior motives well, but in front of Yuan Shu, these disguises seemed to have exposed her.

Shi Bin had been standing at the door the entire time. After the two of them finished speaking, he asked, “Sister-in-law, aren’t you going with us?”

Wei Ci also came back to her senses and looked at Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu sat up straight and looked at them as she said, “I still have some things to deal with, so I won’t disturb the two of you from catching up.”

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but Shi Bin still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. Perhaps he subconsciously felt that the reason why his sister-in-law didn’t want to have lunch with him was because she was still angry with him.

Wei Ci maintained a polite smile the entire time. As Yuan Shu looked at her, she thought about how Wei Ci was only 22 years old and had just graduated. To be able to be so mature and calm, she was indeed a talent.

However, before leaving, Wei Ci couldn’t help but turn around and look at Yuan Shu inquisitively.

Although it was just a glance, with Yuan Shu’s sharp intuition, she could tell why Wei Ci had come to the company today.

Wei Ci was still a little too impatient.

“The Wei family.”

Yuan Shu took out her phone and sent these words to Shi Xiao. He would do the rest.

After Yuan Shu sent the message, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. From when she first arrived in this world to now, there had been a huge change in the relationship between these families. The boundaries between the various families were no longer so obvious..
