Chapter 231: Transaction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was obvious that a young lady who had just taken over the company and had only been working for a few days would not have the guts to fire an old employee who had made outstanding contributions to the company, right?

Even if Shi Man was really angry and fired her, President Shi would probably not agree when he came back.

Of course, Shi Man understood this logic. She had just arrived today and had been secretly schemed against many times. A brainless gun like Meng Hui was really the easiest to deal with.

She stood up with a smile and let Meng Hui follow her back to the office. She pointed at the documents that had just been arranged on the table. “Settle these today. I’ll come to check tomorrow morning.”

“What?” Meng Hui couldn’t believe her eyes.

There were documents on Shi Man’s table, but even Shi Zhong had to take a few days to review them. Now, she actually had to settle them in a day. Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?

Meng Hui was unconvinced. She straightened her neck and asked, “These documents require CEO Shi to read and correct them before handing them to me for verification and then sending them to the various departments. You can’t hand the documents to me for full processing. Otherwise, if there’s a problem, I won’t be able to bear this responsibility.”

“Full authority?” Shi Man sneered and sat in her seat with her legs crossed, looking at her calmly. “Do you think I’ll give you so much authority? I’ve already graded these documents. Take them and check them carefully. If you have any questions, come and look for me.”

“You’ve read all of them?”

Meng Hui’s eyes widened in disbelief as she casually flipped open a document. Indeed, there were important marks on it, and there were no problems with those annotations.

She flipped through a few more pages in a daze, but she still did not find anything wrong with Shi Man’s comments. She was shocked. “But there are so many. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish reading them even if I work overtime until tomorrow morning!”

“That’s your problem.” Shi Man drank her tea slowly and smiled harmlessly. “Aren’t you said to be very capable, and I’m just a young lady who relied on my father to get to where I am? Could it be that your ability is inferior to mine?”

After being agitated by her, Meng Hui could not admit it even if she could not do it. She could only brace herself and run back and forth three times before emptying Shi Man’s desk.

When Yi Zheng arrived, he saw that the secretariat outside the office was silent. No one even came to welcome him.

He frowned slightly and knocked on the office door.

Only when there was some movement did Meng Hui react. She hurriedly put down the document and ran over to apologize to him. “I’m sorry, President Yi. I was really too busy just now and didn’t notice you.”

“Where’s Shi Man?” Yi Zheng had no intention of talking to her and went straight to the point.

Meng Hui was slightly stunned. She pointed inside and said, “She’s inside.”

“Yes.” Yi Zheng didn’t wait for her to enter and ask. He opened the office door and walked in.

As soon as he opened the door, a sharp object suddenly flew past his eyes. Yi Zheng reacted extremely quickly and dodged, but a few drops of black ink were still splashed on the white shirt in front of his chest.

He turned his head to look at the broken fountain pen on the ground and shook his head involuntarily. “Is this how you welcome me, my fiancee?”

Shi Man glared at him coldly and said angrily, “Who let you in?”

“I came in myself.” Yi Zheng sat down on the sofa as if they were close and even leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.

Shi Man was angry. She walked around the desk and snatched the teacup from his hand. “You’re not welcome here.”

“Don’t be like this. I know it’s your first day at work, so I specially came to see if there’s anything you need my help with.” Not only was Yi Zheng not angry, but his heart trembled slightly because of her approach. The smile on his face deepened.

Shi Man took a step back and started to chase him away expressionlessly. “I don’t need you. You can leave.”

“Manman.” Yi Zheng’s face darkened slightly, and a glint flashed across his long eyes. “I have a deal to discuss with you. Let’s sit down and talk about it. How about that?”

Shi Man stared at him suspiciously. She could only blame herself for not being able to defeat him. Otherwise, she could have thrown him out directly. However, now, she could only force her expression to soften. She sat down and said in an unfriendly tone, “What deal?”

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows with a smile; he looked as shrewd as a fox. “I’ll give you Shi Jing’s whereabouts. How about you accompany me to the banquet tomorrow night?”

“Why do I want her whereabouts?” Shi Man asked expressionlessly, not easily tricked by him.

Yi Zheng looked like victory was within his grasp, and his eyes were filled with a smile. “Aren’t you asking Sean and the others to investigate Shi Jing’s whereabouts? My people are also investigating at the same time, but it seems that my luck is better. I found her before your people.”

“Where is she?” Shi Man’s expression darkened. She couldn’t help but wonder if Yi Zheng had long hidden her.

Yi Zheng smiled and said, “Promise me first and I’ll tell you her whereabouts..”
