Yuan Shu didn’t refute, since she agreed with this plan.

Shi Xiao continued, “What’s more, 1 need your help in the Corporation. I suspect that that person has spies in the corporation, so if you work in the corporation and come into contact with employees at the grassroots level, you can help us find out who’s behind this as soon as possible. You can also help us purge the corporation and make a change.”

Yuan Shu didn’t respond. Instead, she stared at Shi Xiao with a serious look. Shi Xiao thought that she didn’t agree to this plan, but then she suddenly asked, “Are you really sure you want me to work at the Shi Corporation?”

Shi Xiao smiled and asked, “Are you asking this because you don’t have confidence in me or yourself?”

Yuan Shu said, “It’s not that I don’t have confidence, but the rule of our cooperation is to mind our own business. You won’t interfere with my company, and I definitely won’t participate in anything related to the Shi Corporation, so I’m a little surprised.”

Shi Xiao said, “Times have changed.” After saying this, he looked at Yuan Shu and said firmly, “I believe you.”

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment. This wasn’t the first time Shi Xiao had told her that he believed her. This firm trust touched the depths of Yuan Shu’s heart.

She finally stopped struggling and said, “Alright, then what position do you want to arrange for me, President Shi?”

Shi Xiao blurted out without hesitation, “Since there’s a software problem, why don’t you stand up from where you fell? The Shi Corporation’s software technology department lacks a manager. You can be the team leader.”

Yuan Shu smiled and said, “You really know a lot about HR, since you know if there’s a vacancy at the top of your head. It makes me wonder if you’ve planned this beforehand.”

Shi Xiao had indeed planned this beforehand. Ever since the software company was in trouble, he had planned to let Yuan Shu work in the company because Yuan Shu was very capable in terms of management. The fact that she could subdue the three troublemakers in the family showed how capable she was.

This incident helped encourage Shi Xiao to invite Yuan Shu to work at the company.

“But 1 know nothing about software. Are you sure it’s appropriate for me to be the team leader?”

Shi Xiao said, “Sometimes, management ability is more important than other abilities. Moreover, I plan to recruit a big shot recently. As for how to use this person, it will be up to you.”

When Yuan Shu heard this, she was a little curious about the big shot Shi Xiao was talking about. Shi Xiao never praised people easily. Someone who could make him call him a big shot was probably very impressive.

Shi Xiao continued, “As for the software company you invested in, I’ve already asked Shi Bin to withdraw your shares. You won’t be able to get back the money you invested.”

Yuan Shu was helpless, but she said, “I already expected this, but I didn’t expect that despite being so careful, I still fell into a trap.”

Shi Xiao comforted her. “Better an open enemy than a false friend, an open foe may prove a curse but a pretend friend is even worse. They’re unscrupulous and even used Shi Bin, so you couldn’t have foreseen it.”

Yuan Shu didn’t say anything else but made up her mind. She wasn’t someone who would suffer losses, so she had to take revenge herself.

The two of them were already full and had finished talking, so Yuan Shu wiped her mouth with a tissue and stood up. “I still have to move. I won’t talk to you anymore. Goodbye, President Shi.”

Yuan Shu’s tone was flippant and she was obviously joking. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

Shi Xiao acutely noticed that Yuan Shu had addressed him as President. In other words, from this moment onwards, the two of them had become superior and subordinate, instead of partners.

Shi Xiao realized that Yuan Shu seemed to have become more outgoing and playful after seeing Jiang Chen. She was no longer the mature and levelheaded Yuan Shu from before.

Shi Xiao couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your relationship with Jiang Chen?”

Yuan Shu, who was about to get up, suddenly sat down. Her gaze became distant as she looked at Shi Xiao and said indifferently, “There are some things between us that we can’t talk about. I won’t tell you about this. I can only promise you that no matter what relationship 1 had with Jiang Chen in the past, I won’t help the Jiang family now or in the future. 1 hope you won’t mention this again.”

Staring at Yuan Shu’s back as she left, Shi Xiao hesitated over whether he should investigate her relationship with Jiang Chen. After hesitating for a while, he gave up..
