255: 251 Raising Ard Forces to Inquire About Faults 255: 251 Raising Ard Forces to Inquire About Faults “Knock, knock, knock…”
The sound of knocking arose.
Shi Qianxi continued to look at the computer, operating the mouse, her head not raised.
“Co in.”
After the other person entered, there was no talk, just the sound of footsteps coming closer.
It was only then that Shi Qianxi turned her head to look, and her eyes imdiately showed surprise.
“Why are you here?”
The visitor was none other than Sun Xiyu.
However, the usually gentle and refined Mr.
Sun now had a dark expression, looking slightly grim as if he was in a bad mood.
“Shi Qianxi, what do you an by this?
Are you deliberately playing with ?”
This posture.
It was clear he was here to confront her.
“How am I playing with you?”
Miss Shi was confused and genuinely innocent.
“Didn’t you promise that if I gave you fifty million, you would be able to break the marriage agreent?”
Mr.
Sun pulled out a chair and sat down, his face somber.
“The money, I gave it to you, but what about your reciprocation?”
He suspected that he had been tricked by this witch.
He thought that once he had paid the money, he could rest easy and reap the rewards, but aside from the other party no longer harassing him, there had been no other substantive progress.
The pressure from his parents had beco even larger.
If it hadn’t been for his parents’ constant pressure, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to “visit” today.
“What’s the rush?
These things take ti.
Rest assured, I, Shi Qianxi, always keep my word and never go back on it.”
Miss Shi spoke casually.
“If there’s nothing else, you should head back.
I’m busy right now.”
Sun Xiyu, looking at the woman dressed in formal attire sitting properly in the office, felt a mix of anger and bewildernt.
Having heard from his parents, he had been sowhat skeptical that this witch could “turn over a new leaf,” but now, seeing with his own eyes, it seed his parents hadn’t lied.
“Why are you interested in business matters now?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
Miss Shi sighed.
“Isn’t it to make my dad happy?
If my dad is happy, then I can ask him to cancel this marriage agreent.
Now you can see my efforts, do you understand my hardship?”
“…”
Sun Xiyu was left speechless.
“Alright, don’t waste your ti here.
Call up your friends and enjoy your carefree life.
I still have a ton of things to go through.”
Upon hearing this, Mr.
Sun felt sowhat uncomfortable.
How co it sounded like he had beco soone idle and without responsibilities?
“Knock, knock, knock…”
The knocking sounded once more.
“Co in.”
The person who ca in was Chen Zhou.
Seeing soone in the office, he paused, slightly surprised.
“What is it?”
Shi Qianxi asked as if nothing was amiss.
“Miss, the chairman is looking for you,” Chen Zhou reported.
“Right now?”
“Yes,”
Chen Zhou nodded.
Shi Qianxi looked at Sun Xiyu, gave him a look that said, “You see how busy I am,” then said to Chen Zhou, “Please see Mr.
Sun out.”
“Of course, Miss.”
Shi Qianxi stood up, walked around the office desk, and left the office in her high heels.
After Shi Qianxi had left, Chen Zhou looked at Sun Xiyu, “Mr.
Sun, please.”
Sun Xiyu, having no choice, stood up.
“No trouble, I’ll leave on my own.”
“I can’t defy the Miss’s orders,”
Chen Zhou said with a smile.
Sun Xiyu heard this and did not refuse the kind offer anymore.
“Are you Mr.
Shi’s secretary?”
As they reached the elevator, he glanced at the other’s work badge.
“Hmm.”
Chen Zhou smiled politely, “Mr.
Sun truly lives up to his reputation, a man of great presence.”
“You know ?”
“I’ve heard the chairman ntion you, and he can’t praise Mr.
Sun enough.”
Sun Xiyu smiled but said nothing.
“Ding.”
The elevator doors opened.
They stepped in.
The Chairman’s office.
“Dad, you wanted to see ?”
Miss Shi pushed the door open and entered without knocking.
“Isn’t Xi Yu here?
Where is he?”
Seeing her enter alone, Shi Zhenhua was sowhat surprised.
“I just ntioned that he was coming, but he said he had so business and left early.
Ah, I really don’t know why he’s so busy.”
Miss Shi’s deanor was calm and collected, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Shi Zhenhua glanced at her and said nothing, “Sit.”
Miss Shi sat down.
Jade needs to be polished.
So do people.
Although it hadn’t been long, Shi Qianxi’s deanor seed much more settled—on the surface at least.
She wasn’t causing a scene every day anymore.
“Have you finished with the first phase of the materials?”
Shi Zhenhua asked.
“How could I that quickly, dad?
I’m not a machine.
These days I even dream about them; I’m nearly losing my mind.”
Shi Qianxi seized the opportunity to act pitiful, “Dad, why don’t you give a break?
I feel I need so rest.”
“Fine.”
At this, Shi Qianxi was taken aback.
She had ntioned it offhandedly, without any real hope, but she didn’t expect her father to agree so readily.
“Dad, do you really agree?”
She was a bit incredulous.
“Isn’t New Year’s Day coming up?
East Sea University is holding a celebration, and they’ve invited many people.
I’m on the invitation list, but I have a lot of social engagents that day and probably won’t be able to get away, so you’ll go in my stead.”
Shi Zhenhua spoke calmly, “You wanted to rest, didn’t you?
Go enjoy the programs, be with the young students; it should help you relax more effectively.”
East Sea University?
Isn’t that that jerk’s school?
Shi Qianxi was initially pleased, but then she sensed sothing off.
Her mother had already found that guy and had even offered a million to get rid of him.
Her father must know the guy was from East Sea University.
Now, suddenly sending her to attend East Sea University’s New Year’s Eve party—was it an oversight, or was there sothing fishy?
Shi Qianxi’s keen senses picked up that sothing wasn’t right, and she imdiately beca guarded, suspecting there might be a sche.
“Dad, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for to go…”
“What’s inappropriate?
You are my daughter, and also vice president of Jinhai.
In terms of identity and status, you’re more than qualified.
From now on, you need to start learning how to handle things on your own; this is also what your mom wishes.”
“By the way, what has your mom been up to lately?”
“The sa old stuff.
Going for SPA treatnts one day, visiting temples to pray the next day; she’s living a much happier life than I am.”
Shi Zhenhua smiled and ignored his daughter’s complaint.
“Alright, that’s settled then.
You can go now.”
Shi Qianxi, supporting herself on the armrest, rose to her feet, and as she turned around, a cold curve involuntarily ford on the corner of her lips.
Hmph.
That jerk.
Planning to disappear without a trace, huh?
Just wait.
After his daughter left, Shi Zhenhua went to the expansive floor-to-ceiling window, looking down from his elevated position.
Downstairs.
Chen Zhou and Sun Xiyu shook hands amiably and said their polite goodbyes.
Sun Xiyu headed for the parking lot.
As a secretary, Chen Zhou indeed knew how to conduct himself; he stood there, patiently watching the big shot drive away, before turning to re-enter the building.
Shi Zhenhua, with an expressionless face, watched everything closely.
