“Ah!” A scream echoed in the meeting room.
Wen Miao was so scared that she quickly crossed her hands to protect her head. However, the imagined pain didn’t come. After waiting for a while, all she heard was Feng Kai’s heavy breathing in anger.
She slowly lowered her hands and timidly opened her eyes to see that Feng Kai’s hand wasn’t on her face because IVLei Shu was firmly holding it.
“Shu’er!” Wen Miao walked over to her happily.
Mei Shu showed a comforting smile at her, but when she turned to look at Feng Kai, her smile disappeared instantly. “Do you want to assault someone in the company?”
Feng Kai’s large face turned purple with anger. “She cursed at me first! Shu’er, I’m your uncle. You should help me teach her a lesson!”
Mei Shu let go of his hand.
Tang Mei quickly pulled out a tissue from her pocket and handed it over.
Mei Shu took it, wiped her hands, and said satisfactorily, “She’s my friend.”
With Mei Shu’s declaration, Han Xi’s surprised gaze fell on Wen Miao.
She didn’t expect Mei Shu to have such a good relationship with this girl. Fortunately, she had been somewhat tactful in her speech just now, not blindly following Feng Kai’s words and offending the girl completely.
However, not everyone was as perceptive as her.
Feng Kai, hearing Mei Shu speak to Wen Miao in a tone that seemed to defend her, shouted in frustration, “Whose side are you on? She’s an outsider, and I’m your uncle!”
“What kind of uncle are you?” Mei Shu sneered disdainfully.
Feng Kai was so frustrated that he stomped his feet. “Even when your dad was running the company, he was polite to me. How dare you talk to me like this?”
Mei Shu didn’t even bother to look at him properly. “You said that was when my dad was here. He gave you face, but that doesn’t mean I will indulge you. In my company, there’s no room for nepotism. Tomorrow, I’ll have Tang Mei thoroughly investigate your performance. If you can’t even do your job properly, I’ll consider replacing you as department manager with someone more competent.”
“You want to demote me?” Feng Kai looked incredulous. “Am I hearing you correctly? Mei Shu? Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions will be?”
“How serious?” Mei Shu shrugged. “Tang Mei, I’ve changed my mind. Investigate it now. I suspect that Feng Kai is seriously abusing his power and neglecting his duties in the company. Not only do we need to investigate him, but we also need to find out who he has inappropriate relationships with in the company. If we miss anyone, you won’t need to be my chief secretary anymore.”
Tang Mei, feeling the heat of the situation, straightened her posture and said seriously, “Yes, 1 will submit the investigation results to you as soon as possible.”
Mei Shu then calmed down and smiled kindly at Wen Miao. “Let’s talk in my office. I haven’t shown you around the company yet.”
“Will it not disturb your work?” Wen Miao felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she had just heard from Han Xi that Mei Shu was quite busy in the company, and she wasn’t sure if it was right to come over like this.
“It’s okay.” Mei Shu affectionately hugged her shoulder. “I’m not busy right now. You can come with me. No one should dare to stop you in the future.”
Wen Miao inexplicably felt like she was the favored little wife of a domineering CEO in a novel.
She timidly raised her eyes and glanced at Mei Shu’s gentle profile. She couldn’t help but feel excited!
It was her first time meeting a real-life CEO!
And now, the CEO had such a good relationship with her!
In the future, whenever she fantasized about a domineering CEO from novels, she could now imagine Mei Shu’s face!
In the office.
Mei Shu asked her to sit on the sofa first. In no time, a secretary came to serve them tea.
When there were only the two of them left in the office again, Wen Miao finally let out the breath she had been holding all the way and said with a red face, “There are so many employees in your company! They kept staring at me, making me feel awkward. I won’t come to your company to find you in the future. Let’s meet at school if we have something to discuss.”
“Sure, it’s up to you.” Mei Shu was easygoing. “Has the matter with the police been resolved?”
Thinking about the purpose of her visit this time, Wen Miao’s mood dropped. She nodded, “Yes, it’s resolved. But Zhang Yue hasn’t spoken to me since she came out of the police station. She didn’t go to school this afternoon, and I’m worried about her. 1 went to her house to see her, but she still refuses to see me.”
Mei Shu pondered for a moment. “Although you’ve been close friends with her since childhood, it’s not appropriate to talk to her at this time. She has to figure it out herself.”
“Yes, I’m worried that she won’t be able to get through this.” After some consideration, Wen Miao gathered her courage, clasped her hands together, and pleaded, “Shu’er, I saw that you posted the recordings of Zhao Fu and Song Yan online to clear my name. But could you please delete the recordings? I’m willing to be Zhang Yue’s shield, as long as it can make her feel a little better..”
