“Remarry?” After Yuan Shu repeated this word, she sighed softly.

As expected, everyone felt that she had used dirty tricks to marry Shi Xiao in the past. Now that the two of them were divorced, they assumed that she was the most upset one.

When he heard her mention remarrying, Li Zheng was even more surprised. Although he was a technical geek, he wasn’t completely unaware of the gossip in the company.

Even though the Yuan Shu he saw was quite different from the rumors, it seemed that just as Lin Xi said, Yuan Shu still wanted to be the wife of the Shi family. What woman could refuse a family like the Shi family?

Li Zheng said with a serious expression, “That’s right! If not for your foresight last time, our technical department’s efforts in the past few months would have been in vain. I personally admire you very much and think that only an independent woman like you is worthy of President Shi. Therefore, I also feel that it’s a pity that you and President Shi got a divorce.”

He continued, “You might not know me, but I’ve been working in the Shi Corporation for more than ten years and have always been in the Technology Department. You said that you don’t understand technology, so you probably don’t understand the power struggle in the Technology Department either. I can’t tell my supervisor about this matter, since it might even become my fault in the end. Therefore, I can only rely on you to handle this matter and let it become a chance for you to return to President Shi’s side. I also hope that you can guide me, a small employee, some more.”

These weren’t things he thought of, but rather what Lin Xi told him to say. What Lin Xi said was that it was impossible for one person to help another unconditionally, so voicing his conditions would instead make him seem more convincing and make it easier for Yuan Shu to believe him.

After that person’s investigation, it was revealed Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao’s marriage did indeed have some elements of coincidence, but Yuan Shu also had the intention to marry Shi Xiao right from the start, so Lin Xi was certain that Yuan Shu wouldn’t let go just like that. Now that there was such a good opportunity for her to perform well in front of Shi Xiao, how could she miss it?

As expected, Yuan Shu’s lips curled into a smile. “So you need me to help you get a promotion and a raise? You should know that I’m no longer Mrs. Shi, nor am I the head of the technical department.”

“No, you will definitely continue to be Madam Shi, as long as you help President Shi solve the technical department’s problem this time.” Li Zheng continued with an excited look, “And even if you’re not Madam Shi now, from President Shi’s attitude towards you today, your words will be more effective than my 20 to 30 years of hard work.”

After hearing his words, Yuan Shu pretended to be in deep thought. Li Zheng was a little anxious, but he didn’t dare to rush her and could only wait anxiously.

Finally, as if she had made an important decision, Yuan Shu asked solemnly, “What do you need me to do?”

Li Zheng finally relaxed and began to tell her the plan.

After hearing everything Li Zheng said, Yuan Shu felt that acting was indeed very tiring. She had learned all kinds of acting skills from the production team, but she didn’t expect to use them on Li Zheng first. However, the effect wasn’t bad, since Li Zheng really believed her.

However, when she thought of what Li Zheng said, Yuan Shu smirked. As expected, things were starting to progress according to the plot of the novel. She was about to be framed by Lin Xi and get fired by the Shi Corporation. Unfortunately for them, she was prepared.

Yuan Shu had gotten off work very late today and coupled with the fact that she had discussed things with Li Zheng for a while, when she left, the sky had completely darkened.

In order not to have any more contact with the Shi family, Yuan Shu took the initiative to return the Shi family’s car. However, she didn’t know how to drive yet. Riding a horse was easy for her, but driving…

Yuan Shu shook her head. Taking advantage of the good weather, she decided to take a walk. She would still feel uncomfortable if she didn’t exercise for an entire day. As she looked at the cars driving around, she felt that it was indeed important to learn how to drive after coming to this world.

Suddenly, a sharp scream came from the alley. Acutely sensing danger, Yuan Shu turned her head to look at the dark alley.

In the alley, a girl in white clothing was forced to a corner by a few men. She shouted for help, but a man slapped her hard. “B*tch! It’s your blessing that we took a fancy to you. It’s so late, so do you think anyone will hear you?”

The other two men had wicked smiles on their faces. From time to time, they would molest the girl’s breasts and legs.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shu was enraged. She pulled out the whip at her waist and held it tightly in her hand. When one of the men tried to tear the girl’s clothes, the whip hit the man’s hand with a bang.

“Damn it! Who is it? Do you want to die?” The man turned around and scolded fiercely..
