“Since we can’t start with him, let’s change the direction. Mo Shu must have some beef with the general manager of Dun Yuan Technology Company, Zhang Ting. Let’s start with Zhang Ting.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Mian had yet to leave after reporting. This morning, Shi Bin and the eldest young madam reported to their respective positions at the same time. After Zhao Mian thought about it, she felt that she should report it.

However, just as she was hesitating about who to report to first, Shi Xiao looked up at her from the document. “Is Yuan Shu here?”

Zhao Mian keenly caught the meaning of Shi Xiao’s words and thought to herself, seemed like the eldest young madam was more important.

Zhao Mian replied, “I’ve already reported it and the relevant procedures have been completed. I’ve also collected the necessary items and placed them in her office.”

Shi Xiao asked with an impassive expression, “Why didn’t she come to the office when she reported to the company?”

Zhao Ming was wondering if she should answer this question because when she asked Yuan Shu if she wanted to go to the office to see Young Master Shi, Yuan Shu’s answer at that time was, “There’s no need.”

Yuan Shu’s concise answer made Zhao Mian dare not to ask further.

Although the eldest young madam wasn’t as decisive as the eldest young master, she was also a person who kept her word, so Zhao Mian didn’t want to embarrass herself.

The fact that Yuan Shu didn’t see Young Master on the first day of work was enough to cause everyone to discuss.

Everyone thought that Yuan Shu was going to work because she and Young Master were very close, so if they worked in the same place, they would have more opportunities to meet. However, when she came, she didn’t see Young Master. Was there really a problem with their relationship as the rumors said?

Zhao Mian asked tentatively, “Do you need me to call Young Madam to come up?”

Shi Xiao buried his head in his documents as he replied, “No need.”

Shi Xiao felt that there was something wrong with his emotions recently. He seemed to be led by the nose by this woman, and his emotions were always affected by her. He didn’t know what he should do with Yuan Shu.

After the phone in the office rang, Shi Xiao picked up the phone and gestured for Zhao Mian to go out and continue working.

The person on the other end of the phone said, “Young Master Shi, 1 wonder if you’re interested in working with me.”

That person sounded very confident, as if he was certain that Shi Xiao would agree.

Shi Xiao frowned slightly and asked with uncertainty, “Jiang Chen?”

“That’s right, it’s me. So Young Master Shi still remembers my voice. What an honor.”

The last thing Shi Xiao wanted to hear now was Jiang Chen’s voice, but he actually dared to call him and ask if he wanted to cooperate. He was simply out of his mind.

Shi Xiao said impatiently, “I don’t think there’s a need for the Shi and Jiang families to cooperate.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t angry. Instead, he said, “Coincidentally, I think so too, but I’m not working with you for the Jiang and Shi families, but for Yuan Shu’s sake.”

When Shi Xiao heard Yuan Shu’s name from another man, Shi Xiao felt very uncomfortable and he couldn’t help but declare his sovereignty. “Young Master Jiang, Yuan Shu is my wife. 1 believe that 1 have the ability to protect my wife, so you don’t have to worry.”

Jiang Chen said, “Young Master Shi, you don’t have to be in a hurry to reject me. We both know the current situation. Tan Jing is no longer under the Jiang family’s control. He actually dared to provoke the Shi family publicly. Do you think he did so purely out of impulse?”

“Definitely not. There must be someone backing him. I just want to help you find this person as soon as possible. How you deal with him is your business. 1 just want everyone who hurt Yuan Shu to disappear.”

Shi Xiao hesitated. No matter what the reason was, at least they had the same goal—Yuan Shu.

Similarly, Shi Xiao didn’t want Yuan Shu to get implicated. Even though he didn’t know what the mastermind’s motive was, he was certain that if they didn’t stop him, the mastermind would only worsen. At that time, there was no telling what he would do to harm Yuan Shu.

Shi Xiao said, “Then I wish us a happy cooperation, but Young Master Jiang, to be honest, our cooperation will only last this once. Unless necessary, 1 don’t want to have anything to do with you.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t to be outdone. “Me too..”
