“Manman.” Yuan Yi’s voice was low and deep. When he deliberately lowered it, it carried a hint of intoxicating magnetism. “We’re considered allies now. I’ll give you this watch as a token of our cooperation.”

He said it sincerely, making Shi Man unable to find a reason to reject him.

However, she would still habitually suspect his motives from time to time. In the end, Yuan Yi was not an innocent person like Su Tang. Shi Man could not really trust him.

However, she really needed a good helper to deal with Yi Zheng.

After putting away the watch, Shi Man smiled and took out a brooch from her pocket that was completely different from Su Tang’s. She gently placed it in his hand and said concisely, “A return gift.”

Yuan Yi smiled and said, “Okay.” He put it on his chest on the spot.

Su Tang watched his actions in a daze, wanting to remind him of the true use of the brooch. However, she was caught off guard and glanced at Man Man’s cold gaze. She suddenly swallowed her words and did not say anything in the end.

The next day, because Shi Man was going to the company, Shen Xian specially arranged for her to take a car to the company with her. On the way, she could briefly introduce her to work. Su Tang was brought to school by Shi Mu.

Shen Xian was originally worried that Shi Man would find it difficult to deal with the company’s business for the first time. She did not expect her to be so fast. With just a few words from the board of directors, she could point out the problem with the proposal, making all the directors look at her in a different light.

Shen Xian accompanied Shi Man in the office for the entire morning and handed the company to her without worry. Then, she drove to Lu Xiang to show off how capable her precious daughter was.

After Lu Xiang found out, Yi Zheng naturally received the news.

He was very fast. He didn’t even care about the work at hand and drove to the Shi family’s company to meet her.

Outside the office, the assistant had long heard of this daughter of the Shi family. She was very disdainful of her. After being enslaved by her for an entire day, she couldn’t help but complain to her colleagues beside her. “She’s just better at reincarnation than us. With such a good father around, the company is under her control. What are we? We can only be ordered around by an outsider.”

“Shh, Sister Hui, lower your voice. Be careful not to let others hear you!” Ding Wei, an intern who had just been recruited by the company, carefully looked in the direction of the office and lowered her voice to the softest.

“What are you afraid of? I’m an old employee of the company. Even CEO Shi is friendly to me. Who knows how to put on airs like her? She keeps a straight face all day as if I owe her millions. Who is she showing off to?”

Meng Hui deliberately rolled her eyes in the direction of the office. The more vicious her words were, the more smug she felt.

It was as if this was the only way to make her feel a little better.

Ding Wei was not officially employed yet. She had just graduated as a graduate student. It was already a rare opportunity for her to be lucky enough to work in the Shi family’s company. At this moment, she did not dare to answer her. She was afraid that she would lose her job, so she could only lower her head and silently do her work.

Meng Hui looked at her timid appearance and felt even more disdainful. She became bolder. “Xiaowei, what’s the use of you working so hard? Look at her. She has a good father and can ride on our heads without doing anything. Workers like us with no background can only work hard for others!”

“Sister Hui.” Ding Wei called her softly and looked past her at the person behind her.

“What are you afraid of?” Meng Hui sneered and threw the document in her hand aggressively. “She’s just a useless young lady. The company won’t have anything to do with her in the future. In the future, Young Master will inherit this company. She probably won’t even get a share. Why should she manage us?”

“Sister Hui!” Ding Wei stood up obediently and lowered her head. She gave her a look for the last time.

However, Meng Hui did not understand what she meant at all. The more she spoke, the more excited she became. “Did I say anything wrong? Look at how afraid you are. When I just graduated, the company took the initiative to poach me!”

“So you’re so capable. 1 actually just found out.”

Shi Man’s sinister voice sounded from behind her. Meng Hui felt a chill on her back for no reason. She slowly turned around and met her malicious eyes.

“You, when did you come out?” Meng Hui stood up in a panic. Anyone who was stared at by Shi Man would unconsciously think of the most terrifying poisonous snake in the forest.

Meng Hui’s hands and feet turned cold from her stare. She stammered and mustered her courage. “1 was telling the truth just now. I was indeed specially recruited into the company by your father.”

“Oh?” Shi Man smiled slowly. She sat in her seat and casually flipped through the documents that had just been arranged on her desk. “You have the business ability, but you can’t control your mouth.”

“Then what do you want? Are you going to fire me?” Meng Hui puffed out her chest. She was actually gambling that Shi Man would not dare to do anything to her just because she had once contributed to the company..
