After Shi Xiao glanced at Lin Xi, he took the lead to enter the elevator in silence. Lin Xi and Zhao Cheng also hurriedly followed.

When they reached the underground parking lot, Zhao Cheng opened the car door for Lin Xi. After Lin Xi got in, she looked at Shi Xiao expectantly.

When he thought of Yuan Shu’s various abnormalities today, as well as how she seemed to be escaping in the end, then thought about how his subordinates reported that Lin Xi had dealings with the technical department, Shi Xiao became even more annoyed and said to Zhao Cheng, “You and Zhao Mian can bring Miss Lin out to eat. I’ll reimburse you guys.”

Then, he turned around and left. Lin Xi was a bit anxious and hurriedly got out of the car to follow him as she said with some grievance, “Shi Xiao, didn’t you promise me? Could it be that because Miss Yuan turned you down, you can’t even fulfill what you promised me?”

Her innocent expression would make anyone feel pity, but the words ‘turned you down’ hit Shi Xiao’s sorespot. He sneered and said, “Didn’t you say that the more the merrier? Of the two siblings, one of them is straightforward, and the other likes to gossip, so things will definitely be merry. I still have some work to do.”

After saying that, he boarded the elevator without looking back, leaving behind Lin Xi with a resentful expression. He felt very frustrated today. When he thought about how he wouldn’t be able to see Yuan Shu even when he returned home, he decided to return to the office first and finish the work in his hands.

Lin Xi, who was still standing on the spot, clenched her fists and her uneasiness gradually intensified. She originally thought that since Shi Xiao could bring her back to the country, arrange a place for her to stay, and even let her enter the Shi Corporation, she was definitely special to him.

However, when Lin Xi saw that Shi Xiao became angry over Yuan Shu’s matters and even asked Zhao Mian to protect her in the company, Lin Xi knew that Yuan Shu was just as that person said. She was special to Shi Xiao.

Zhao Cheng looked at Lin Xi in confusion while asking, “Miss Lin, are we still going or not?”

He really couldn’t figure out why Young Master had changed his mind so quickly, but it seemed like it definitely had something to do with Young Madam.

Lin Xi didn’t want Zhao Cheng to be more wary of her, so she turned around and smiled pitifully. Then, with a dejected expression, she said, “I, I’m not feeling well today, so why don’t you and Miss Zhao go out to eat?”

After Zhao Cheng thought about the popularity of the restaurant and the high price, he nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll send you back first, then I’ll pick up my sister for dinner.”

Lin Xi was so dismayed that she almost cursed out loud. She really didn’t know how Zhao Cheng got hired by Shi Xiao. His boss wasn’t even going to eat, but he really plabbed to go to a high-end restaurant with his sister?

At this moment, Yuan Shu had already followed Li Zheng back to the office. After she looked at the nervous Li Zheng and then at the documents he handed over, she said calmly, “I don’t understand what you’re showing me. You should know that I’m not a professional in terms of coding.”

Her tone was very aloof, but intimidating. Li Zheng swallowed hard.

However, when he thought about how Yuan Shu really didn’t understand these things, he slowly calmed down. “Miss Yuan, you’ve always been the one following up on the video website. There’s a very small loophole in the code here. You should understand this logic.”

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, but Li Zheng, who had his head lowered, couldn’t see the coldness in her eyes.

He felt that Yuan Shu believed him and continued, “Ever since the website started streaming, the data has been good and the number of registered people has increased. However, if this loophole is not fixed, other hackers might steal the users’ information or even replicate the website. Even without Dun Yuan Technology Company, other companies will still go against us. At that time, our company will suffer losses!”

He thought that his words sounded quite righteous. In the afternoon, he had already prepared a script and reviewed it many times, but Yuan Shu still heard a loophole.

Yuan Shu’s fingertips tapped on the document lightly, making Li Zheng feel a bit unnerved. When he saw her slightly red fingertips, he was a bit mesmerized. As a bombshell, even her hands were so beautiful. No wonder Lin Xi didn’t hesitate to spend a large amount of money to chase her away. Which man wouldn’t be charmed by such a beautiful woman?

After a while, Yuan Shu asked softly, “Then why didn’t you look for your supervisor, or why didn’t you say it in front of President Shi just now? Instead, you came to look for me, a person who doesn’t know anything about technology?”

Upon hearing her question, not only wasn’t Li Zheng nervous, but he also immediately said the excuse he had prepared beforehand, “Because in my heart, you’re the one who should be Madam Shi.. As long as you can fix the loophole this time, President Shi will definitely see your merits and remarry you!”
