After the meal, Yuan Yi and Shi Mu stayed by Shi Man’s side and refused to leave.
Yi Zheng could tell what they were thinking. He leaned close to Shi Man and asked softly, “Are you tired?”
His tone was extremely gentle and doting.
Shi Man nodded slightly. “I’m sleepy.”
“Then 1’11 leave first.” Yi Zheng stood up decisively without hesitation.
This stunned Shi Mu for a moment. He quickly pulled Yuan Yi up and said, “Then you should leave quickly. See you at school tomorrow.”
Yuan Yi wanted to stay for a while longer, but seeing that Shi Man did look tired, he nodded and said, “Alright, Aunt Shen, 1*11 leave first.”
Shen Xian smiled and sent the two of them off. She watched them get into their respective cars before walking back to the villa. She glared at Shi Mu coldly and said, “Come with me. 1 have something to tell you.”
Su Tang looked at Shi Mu’s back with a worried expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Manman, did Brother Shi Mu make a mistake? Why does Aunt Shen look so serious!” “Don’t bother about him.” Shi Man pulled Su Tang back upstairs to rest.
When they were eating just now, Shi Mu tried his best to signal Yuan Yi to put food into Shi Man’s bowl, as if he was afraid that others would not understand his thoughts.
Shen Xian must have noticed it too, so she specially brought Shi Mu away to warn him not to matchmake.
Shi Man was not too concerned about these things. After a long day, she only wanted to take a shower and sleep. There was still a lot of work to deal with in the company tomorrow.
Shi Man was already prepared to rest, but the lights in the company’s secretariat were still on.
Meng Hui handled the work arranged by Shi Man alone in the office in frustration.
That day, in order to give Shi Man an opening gambit and establish an imposing air for herself, she did not do what Shi Man wanted. She thought that a pampered young lady like Shi Man should not be able to do anything to her.
Unexpectedly, Shi Man was full of evil tricks.
Before she could finish her work the day before, Shi Man arranged a new job right on the heels of that. After a few days of continuous accumulation, there was almost no room for the documents on her desk!
And this damn Shi Man insisted on organizing the entire company’s performance evaluation at this time. In the end, her bonus as an experienced secretary was not as much as an intern like Ding Wei. She immediately felt embarrassed.
Now, regardless of whether she was willing or not, she had to stay behind to work overtime to deal with the accumulated work. Otherwise, when CEO Shi returned and found out about this, she would probably not be able to survive in the secretariat.
As she gritted her teeth and flipped through the documents, Meng Hui was distracted from thinking about how to deal with Shi Man. With this thought, it was past midnight. The office building at night was always gloomy.
For some reason, she was a little afraid. She hesitantly put down the document and prepared to go home. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the lights in the office building suddenly went out at the same time, and the entire floor fell into darkness.
Meng Hui screamed in fear. She hurriedly turned on the flashlight function on her cell phone with trembling hands and hurriedly put away her things, preparing to bend down and rush out of the office.
Ding Wei, who was by the window, forgot to close the window before she left. A cold wind blew past her back, scaring Meng Hui so much that she screamed again. Immediately after, steady and powerful footsteps suddenly sounded outside the office. Meng Hui’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly turned off the flashlight and hid in the darkness, trembling.
The office door was slowly pushed open from the outside. Footsteps suddenly entered the room. Someone was pressing the switch repeatedly. After finally turning on the light and illuminating the entire office, she realized that there was no one inside.
Ding Wei scratched her head strangely and said, “Strange, 1 clearly heard a sound inside just now. Why is there suddenly no one?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Hui dared to poke her head out.
She pretended to lower her head and pick up something. She slowly came out from under the table and smiled awkwardly. “Xiaowei, it’s actually you. Why are you at the company so late?”
Ding Wei immediately smiled and raised the packed dinner in her hand. “1 guessed that Sister Hui might still be working overtime, so I specially came to deliver some supper.” “Weiwei, you’re really an angel!” Meng Hui no longer had the fear from before. Now that her stomach was empty, her good impression of Ding Wei immediately rose.
Ding Wei smiled and placed the supper on her desk. She looked at the documents on her desk and said, “CEO Shi actually arranged so much work for you. You probably won’t be able to finish it for several nights, right?”
Meng Hui ate the supper in her hand and suddenly relaxed. She said weakly, “What can we do? CEO Shi took the seniors away this time and left me alone to look at these documents. Moreover, Shi Man is Big Boss’s daughter. I’m just an employee!”
Ding Wei’s eyes darted around as she carefully suggested, “Why don’t 1 help you take a look? If there’s any problem, correct me from the side.. 1 want to learn more from you!”
