After working for a long time, Yuan Shu stood up and stretched her muscles. Then, she shook her head and sighed. Things were quite easy for the people of this world. They could just sit down and use their phones and computers to check everything.

However, it was still very tiring. No one could stand sitting in front of the computer for so many hours. Even though she was trying her best to strengthen her body, she couldn’t stand working overtime.

Cheng Cheng reported her interaction with Lin Xi to Yuan Shu. Lin Xi probably wouldn’t trust her so quickly, so she was just expressing goodwill. However, Lin Xi really helped her increase her salary. Moreover, she increased it by a thousand yuan every month. This was something she didn’t even dare to think about before.

“Boss, it’s impossible to bribe me,” Cheng Cheng promised. “I’ll return the money that doesn’t belong to me, including the things she gave me.”

Yuan Shu looked at her in amusement. “Until when?”

Cheng Cheng frowned, but she still said what was on her mind. “Boss, are you leaving? Is it because of Lin Xi? With your ability, even if you’re not Madam Shi, you can still make a name for yourself in the Shi Corporation. Moreover, the people working under you believe in you!”

Initially, everyone thought that Yuan Shu was just a pretty face. The absurd things she had done in the past were gossiped about by everyone in the company.

Unexpectedly, Madam Shi did many bold things after she joined the company and even helped Shi Xiao stabilize the company. Even the old employees of the company praised her. In fact, everyone secretly felt that Shi Xiao had poor taste for divorcing Yuan Shu for Lin Xi.

Yuan Shu didn’t expect Cheng Cheng to be so shrewd, but Yuan Shu knew that she couldn’t hide the fact that she was leaving, so she nodded. “Yes, I’m leaving.”

“Then bring me with you!” Cheng Cheng said anxiously, “I don’t want to act with Lin Xi every day. She’s constantly currying favor with the people from the various departments. Boss, I’m willing to follow you. When the time comes, I’ll make my way back with you!”

Yuan Shu didn’t expect her to say this, so she smiled and asked, “Do you think I’ll come back?”

Cheng Cheng nodded vigorously, but Yuan Shu shook her head. However, she didn’t want to explain further and only said, “If you think I’m your boss, I hope you can stay in the Shi Corporation.”

There was disappointment in Cheng Cheng’s eyes, but she immediately understood. “Is that why you asked me to pretend to be bribed by Lin Xi? You want me to stay behind as a spy?”

Yuan Shu nodded slightly. “I don’t need you to do anything dangerous. I just want to know the situation of the Shi Corporation, especially if someone wants to harm me…”

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Cheng immediately said, “I’ll tell you immediately and find evidence. I won’t let anyone frame you!”

In reality, after the divorce incident and Lin Xi’s employment in the past few days, everyone in the company felt that there was something fishy about this. However, because the company prohibited discussing this matter, no one dared to say it in the company. However, in private, everyone would discuss it.

Cheng Cheng and her friends agreed that Lin Xi was definitely a scheming bitch in disguise and she probably framed Yuan Shu. Otherwise, with Yuan Shu’s looks and ability, why would Shi Xiao divorce her? Could it be that he was really blind?

At this moment, Shi Xiao was reading the trending topics on the Internet. There were already hundreds of thousands of comments about his divorce with Yuan Shu. Most people said that he was blind and there were even fans of Yuan Shu denouncing him.

Looking at the beautiful photos of Yuan Shu on the Internet and candid photos secretly taken by passers-by, he smiled bitterly. If possible, he definitely wouldn’t get a divorce, but she was unwilling to. He knew this woman too well. She used to cling to him, but when she made up her mind to leave him, she did so decisively without any reluctance.

A knock sounded on the door, snapping him out of his thoughts. Lin Xi walked in with a smile while carrying a piece of black forest cake. “Shi Xiao, I saw that you didn’t eat much for lunch, so I brought you a piece of cake.”

Shi Xiao looked at the Black Forest cake in a daze. He remembered that Yuan Shu didn’t like to eat sweet cakes, nor did she like the bitter taste of chocolate. He frowned when he realized that his mind was filled with thoughts of that woman.

Lin Xi looked at him pitifully and stammered in a hoarse voice, “You don’t like it, right? I’m sorry, I didn’t know you didn’t like to eat this. I, I love sweets, so I wanted to give you everything I think is good.”

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best not to cry. “Just like in Africa. Even if I only found one fruit, I brought it back to you..”
