Shi Nuan nodded and said, "Sure!"
Compared to bitter coffee, she certainly preferred sweet milk tea!
Soon, the milk tea was brought up, along with it, a fruit platter, mostly filled with fruits that Shi Nuan usually loved to eat.
Shi Nuan looked at it, her eyes sparkling brightly, shedding the usual indifference and adding the simple joy and excitent of a young girl.
Ji Xia felt sowhat uncomfortable. As the eldest daughter of the Shi Family, Shi Nuan was supposed to be the princess held carefully in the palm of their hands, yet now she...
Couldn’t help but recall the first ti she t Shi Nuan. Calculating, it should have been nine years ago.
That year, Ji Xia was eighteen, having just been admitted to university. Filled with hope, she ca to this beautiful big city from her impoverished rural hotown, eagerly awaiting to et the benefactor who had supported her for five years.
To say a personal thank you!
Unexpectedly, she learned that the benefactor had passed away a year earlier.
Later, she found out about the benefactor’s daughter and personally went to the middle school where the girl was to find her.
Shi Nuan was only twelve at that ti, very guarded, and didn’t utter a word when she saw Ji Xia.
Her gratitude and tears were t with Shi Nuan’s silence, like a mannequin.
But despite this, she never gave up. For the following year, she would visit Shi Nuan once every month.
Using the money from her part-ti jobs, she bought gifts for Shi Nuan, took her out for als, and spoke to her about many, many things.
A year later, on a sunny afternoon, Shi Nuan spoke to her for the first ti, saying only one sentence: "My mother was murdered!"
At that mont, Ji Xia could hardly believe her ears. She grasped Shi Nuan’s slightly cold hand, her eyes brimming with tears almost instantly.
In that year, Ji Xia was just about to enter her sophomore year, majoring in Chinese Language, with an initial dream of becoming a Chinese teacher.
She planned to go back to her hotown after graduation to teach the local children how to read and write.
But because of Shi Nuan’s words, she resolutely abandoned her dream, submitting an application to change her major to finance a few days later.
After graduating three years later, while all her classmates were sending resus far and wide, attending various recruitnt fairs, she only applied to one company, the Shi Group.
Later on, she successfully got hired by the Shi Company, becoming a small assistant secretary in the secretarial departnt.
Two years later, she stood out with her outstanding work performance and beca the chief secretary to Shi Yuanbo, the president of the Shi Group.
Since her mother’s passing, it had been difficult for Shi Nuan to trust anyone. Before Shen Zui and Song Yichuan appeared, the person who had been by her side all along was Ji Xia.
In her heart, Ji Xia was like a real sister to her, and also the important informant she wanted to place inside the Shi Company before taking it back.
Shi Nuan once planned to enter the Shi Company after graduating from university. Her father trusted Ji Xia, and her cooperation with Ji Xia ant it was not impossible to reclaim her grandfather’s business.
Even if she couldn’t take it back, then she would destroy the Shi Group. In any case, she couldn’t leave it to Li Guirong and her daughter!
But unexpectedly, Yu Dou appeared out of nowhere, and Shi Yuanbo’s delegation of power to Yu Dou was exaggerated to the point that Yu Dou handled most of the company’s affairs. Shi Yuanbo only needed to look at Yu Dou’s analysis reports and approve them with his signature.
He even assigned his most trusted secretary, Ji Xia, to Yu Dou.
Currently, Shi Yuanbo is the main holder of shares and the person in power in the Shi Group, but the real executing chief has clearly beco Yu Dou.
Yu Dou is quite a character. As Shi Nuan has not yet entered the Shi Company, Ji Xia doesn’t dare take any action, quietly doing what she should to avoid being discovered.
