“Xiao You, when you go to fetch water, could you please pour me a glass of orange juice? Thank you.”
“The pantry has run out of fruit juice…”
“Oh! Look at my memory.”
Conversations like this had happened countless times in the past week, and in the end, it was still somewhat uncomfortable.
“It’s all Lin Li’s big mouth. If she hadn’t been gossiping and badmouthing President Shen behind her back, we wouldn’t have such a hard time even getting a sip of fruit juice.”
“Speaking recklessly might be momentarily satisfying, but it ended up causing trouble for everyone. It’s really unethical!”
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.’ How could those who benefit from President Shen’s generosity end up criticizing or resenting her in the end?”

H 11
Lin Li had become the target of everyone’s criticism and was soon isolated by the group. However, not a single person had a bad word to say about Shen Wan.
Liu Yi watched the situation unfold and was relieved that she hadn’t been in the pantry that day. Otherwise, she might have said even more hurtful things, and as a result, she would have become the target of everyone’s criticism!
Nevertheless, her opinion of Shen Wan slightly declined. Lin Li had only spoken the truth, albeit bluntly. Did it really warrant such a dramatic reaction? “Liu Yi, we’re ordering takeout. What do you want to drink?”
“I… I’m sorry, I have to take a call,” she said, getting up from her seat.
“Always being so secretive, who knows what you’re up to…”
Liu Yi held her phone, walked quickly to the corridor, found a secluded corner, and after making sure it was safe, answered the call.
“Secretary Li,” Liu Yi spoke in a hushed and respectful tone.
“What’s the situation lately?” The man’s voice was excessively cold and sent shivers down one’s spine just by listening.
“President Shen is still the same as before. She comes to work on time every day, pays no attention to the company’s affairs, and there have been no personnel changes or adjustments.”
“Continue to keep an eye on her, and report if anything comes up.”
“Secretary Li, wait—” Liu Yi hurriedly interjected, her voice unintentionally raising in volume. Upon realizing this wasn’t right, she quickly lowered it, her tone tinged with anxiety.
“Do you have something else?” His tone had grown impatient.
Liu Yi’s heart tightened, and her scalp tingled, but when it came to her future, there was no room for hesitation. “You promised before that you would find a way to transfer me to the group headquarters…”
“Heh,” a brief, mocking laugh came from the other end, showing no regard for her dignity. “Thinking about rewards before the job is done?”
“I didn’t mean—”
“That’s enough. Do your job, then come back to negotiate.” With that, he hung up.
Liu Yi gripped her phone, seething with frustration.
Mingda Group, Project Department, Manager’s Office.

“Please come in.”
Li Wenjin adjusted his glasses and pushed the door open. “Manager Shen.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I inquired about the situation at Mingya.”
Shen Ru’s hand, which held a pen, paused momentarily. Then, she slowly raised her head, a hint of amusement playing on her lips. “And what did you find out?”
“It’s the same as last week, no major developments, everything is calm.”
“Heh, she’s good at keeping her composure.”
Li Wenjin pondered for a moment. “Could it be that you’re overestimating her? Perhaps she’s not making any moves because she doesn’t know how to.”
After all, based on the information he had found, Shen Wan lacked education and skills. Aside from carrying the title of “Third Lady of the Shen Family”, she had no redeeming qualities. Such an incompetent person didn’t deserve their attention.
Shen Ru, however, shook her head in disagreement. “That’s because you haven’t met my sister. She’s no ordinary person.”
Li Wenjin furrowed his brow..
