Chapter 38

Facing Xiao Sheng's sudden 'interrogation,' Dai Muxue, who was sitting in her place, stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. At this moment, Xiao Sheng had already darted out of his position, pressing his arms on the table and leaning his head toward her. Dai Muxue, leaning back in fear, looked at him with a terrified expression, tightly gripping the pen in her hand, which was pointed at Xiao Sheng.

"Do I make you so uneasy? Relax a bit," Xiao Sheng said, extending his right hand to push away the pen tip pointing at him. During this process, Xiao Sheng's fingertips 'accidentally' touched her hand and then firmly gripped it.

Xiao Sheng's amiable smile once again deceived Dai Muxue. She suddenly stood up and struggled hard, muttering something in a low voice, which was mostly about 'let go.' Xiao Sheng, whose right hand was like a clamp, tightly held her hand and suddenly exerted force, causing her body to lean forward over the table. His left hand then wrapped around Dai Muxue's waist, and with his face almost touching her ear, he repeated:

"Do you care about me so much?" His magnetic voice echoed in her ear. Dai Muxue was extremely embarrassed at this moment. The distance between them was so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. Her face turned red, and her mind went blank for a moment. It wasn't until she felt his arms tightly hugging her waist that she came to her senses!

Dai Muxue suddenly lowered her head and bit Xiao Sheng's wrist fiercely, the excruciating pain making Xiao Sheng instinctively release his grip on her right hand. Dai Muxue, with her teeth clenched, glared at Xiao Sheng, the lip gloss on her lips smearing onto her cheek during the struggle.

What was supposed to be a warm office romance did not proceed as Xiao Sheng had planned. The battered Xiao Sheng retreated to his position, while the furious Dai Muxue took her makeup bag to the restroom to touch up. From her 'venomous' eyes, Xiao Sheng could tell that this time, the uniformed lady hated him to the core!

Watching her alluring figure storm out, Xiao Sheng licked his lips, spread his hands, and muttered to himself:

"Chasing a girl isn't without its injuries. I'm determined to get you."

When Dai Muxue returned from touching up her makeup, she had regained her usual cold beauty, but her gaze occasionally fell on Xiao Sheng with more 'ferocity' and 'dodging.' The lunch was still a business set meal. Clearly, due to the sudden price drop of Chengran International's properties and the disharmony within Huaxin, Chen Shuyuan had lost her appetite. The set meal that Dai Muxue had brought in was almost untouched when it was brought out. Xiao Sheng, who was still hungry despite eating ravenously, asked with a puffed-up mouth:

"Why didn't she eat?" Dai Muxue, alert to Xiao Sheng's question, chose to remain silent and walked straight to the 'private room.' Xiao Sheng, holding the leftovers, followed her. Dai Muxue, who had noticed this, grabbed a knife from the kitchen counter as soon as she entered the private room and glared at Xiao Sheng, saying fiercely:

"If you take one more step, I'll, I'll..." Dai Muxue was very agitated. Her voice, though cold, was tinged with a hint of tears.

"Alright, calm down. I'm here to ask you a serious question. At this morning's senior management meeting, did Liu Jiming use the topic to his advantage again?" Seeing Xiao Sheng step back a few steps and stand by the door, Dai Muxue's emotions calmed down a bit, and she answered:

"Yes, at today's meeting, President Liu, along with several executives, pressured President Chen, attributing Huaxin's recent setbacks to her poor choice of personnel. He proposed the same motion as yesterday, to replace several key managers, all of whom were promoted by President Chen."

"What was the result?" Xiao Sheng asked seriously.

"President Chen rejected it, but the argument was intense. In the end, President Huang suggested they calm down and discuss it again in the afternoon."

"Damn, the external environment has nothing to do with Huaxin's internal affairs. Isn't this just a baseless accusation?" Although Xiao Sheng was indignant on Chen Shuyuan's behalf, he was also very clear that in both politics and the workplace, every superior would seize any opportunity to suppress their opponents, especially since Liu Jiming had the cooperation with Kawa Shita Group as a powerful weapon.

Speaking of weapons, Xiao Sheng suddenly thought of something. Didn't he have one in his hand? At least for now, before Huaxin had cooperated with Kawa Shita and received other funding, his weapon still had a significant impact. Thinking of this, Xiao Sheng had a plan and couldn't help but smile slyly.

He then turned and walked to the restroom, ostensibly to avoid Dai Muxue, and contacted his scout, whispering instructions to him.

"Boss, what you're doing is illegal."

"Why are you so talkative? Just do it. There's less than an hour before the meeting starts, so hurry up. Also, contact AK to come to my place tonight. There's a task from above, and I need to brief you in person."

Feeling somewhat tired, Chen Shuyuan, who usually had a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, lost her usual sleepiness. After seeing Chen Shuyuan leave her room, Dai Muxue, who had tidied up the documents, followed closely behind. After the two women left the room, Xiao Sheng took out a well-fitted suit from under the table and quickly ran to the restroom.

The afternoon meeting was still a headache for Chen Shuyuan. She knew that Liu Jiming, the old fox, was using the topic to his advantage, but Chen Shuyuan could only rely on her current position to counteract him. However, Liu Jiming's relentless pressure made Chen Shuyuan feel powerless, especially when the two small shareholders who had supported her in the morning changed their stance in the afternoon, putting Chen Shuyuan at a disadvantage.

Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly knocked on, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a secretary quickly walked to Chen Shuyuan's side, intending to say something but was interrupted by Liu Jiming, who was sitting to her right.

"What's the fuss about? Can't you say it in front of everyone?" Liu Jiming's behavior was extremely impolite. The secretary looked awkwardly at Chen Shuyuan, and when her gaze met Liu Jiming's sharp eyes, she paused for a moment before saying softly:

"President Chen, a man claiming to be the full representative of shareholder Chen Shuguo is outside. He asked me to give you this legal notice!" She then presented a white envelope with both hands. Upon hearing this, Liu Jiming's face turned ashen. Chen Shuyuan, equally surprised, didn't open the envelope but couldn't help but think of a young figure.

"Knock, knock." Although the meeting room door was open, Xiao Sheng, dressed in a black suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, still politely knocked on the door. In his left hand, he held a photo frame, which prominently displayed a photo of Chen Shuguo, Chen Shuyuan's father.

Xiao Sheng's attire and the ten-inch photo made him look like he was at a funeral.
