Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Hanyu was in the middle of a meeting when he received Sang Qianqian’s message.

He had just taken office and needed to understand the group’s business in depth. The work reports of each department were arranged from morning till afternoon, but the situation of the report was not satisfactory.

Every huge family business, after running for a long time, would inevitably have some problems in some links.

And these problems, at first, were usually regarded as a routine, and no one cared about them. Gradually, these issues would become something resembling an illness.

If a person moved, there would be pain on his skin. The resistance was obvious, but if he didn’t change it and let it go, then there would be a big problem sooner or later.

However, not only did some department heads not notice the problem, but they also felt good about themselves.

Shen Hanyu listened to the reports expressionlessly for the whole day. From time to time, he would give sharp and cold comments that hit the nail on the head. He was no longer like he had been at the beginning of last week, where he had shown mercy to some people.

However, not all the people in charge were willing to take his orders.

In the morning, the head of a certain department had refuted Shen Hanyu’s plan in front of everyone, refusing to follow his instructions. Moreover, there was another person in charge of a department who was not prepared at all before reporting. The content of the report was unsatisfactory, and there were heavy traces from the parts which were hastily put together. Shen Hanyu asked him a few questions, but he could not answer any of them.

Afterward, Shen Hanyu called the Human Resources Department to calculate their salaries on the spot and fired them.

The company was in an uproar.

When the matter was reported to Zhen Yiping, Zhen Yiping simply said, “Hanyu is now representing me. I will support whatever decision he makes.” He then rejected all the objections toward Shen Hanyu’s decision.

Therefore, during the afternoon’s report meeting, all the middle and senior management were trembling with fear and nervousness. They were afraid that they would anger the newly promoted bigwig of the group and be fired if they made a mistake in expressing their thoughts.

In the tense atmosphere, Shen Hanyu’s phone rang.

He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and made a pause gesture.

The person who was making the report shivered, and everyone’s eyes subconsciously turned to Shen Hanyu.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, President Shen, who had been indifferent and expressionless the whole day, suddenly stared at his phone with a gentler look.

He lowered his head and replied to the message. Everyone held their breath and waited for Shen Hanyu without blinking.

Sang Qianqian replied, [I have a colleague who’s in trouble. I want her to stay in the small courtyard next door. Is that okay?]

Shen Hanyu replied, [Which colleague?]

[You know her. She’s Yin Jinhui. We used to be colleagues back in Yuecheng. She was transferred to Beijing not long ago, and we’re in the same department.]

Shen Hanyu had no impression of this name, but since Sang Qianqian used the word “she,” it was obvious that she was a girl.

Naturally, Shen Hanyu agreed.

A cute and happy emoji of a kiss was quickly sent over. Sang Qianqian even added, [Thank you, my dear husband. I love you.]

The corners of Shen Hanyu’s lips curled up slightly. He felt much happier when he saw the message.

Everyone in the meeting room saw the gentle smile on Shen Hanyu’s face. They looked at each other in shock as if they had been struck by lightning.

So, the cold-faced President Shen could also smile? Who was the person who had sent him a message?

While everyone was speculating, Shen Hanyu put away his phone and said, “Continue with your report.”

The moment he raised his head, his smile disappeared and was replaced by a cold and indifferent look that made everyone tremble in fear.

Everyone was speechless.

President Shen’s change in attitude was amazing.

After work that night, Sang Qianqian called the chauffeur and they went to Yin Jinhui’s place.

The neighborhood was a very ordinary residential building. The first floor was a storefront facing the street, and Yin Jinhui lived on the second floor.

While she was packing her luggage, a melodious sound of a piano could be heard from next door. Sang Qianqian could not help but stop to listen.

“I remember you saying that your neighbor is a blind girl who is very good at playing the piano.”

Sang Qianqian asked Yin Jinhui, “Is this the girl you were referring to?”

Yin Jinhui nodded. “Yes, she usually plays for a while at seven or eight in the evening.”

She pulled Sang Qianqian to the window and pointed at the building across the street. “See that art studio? It must be her husband who made it.”

Sang Qianqian was surprised. “She’s already married?”

“I don’t know the details. I only heard from the neighbors downstairs that they seem to be a couple and have lived here for more than half a year. Moreover, I’ve also seen them going in and out together a few times.”

Yin Jinhui said emotionally, “Her husband is especially good to her. During winter, there was a night when it snowed heavily. When I came back, I saw her husband holding her hand as they were walking in the snow. The two of them seemed to be having fun.”

Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but take another look at the art studio. The signboard read “Youlin Art Studio”, which was certainly a unique name.

“Speaking of which, on the night of Chinese New Year’s Eve, that girl knew that I was spending the new year alone in Beijing and even sent me dumplings. I didn’t give her anything in return.”

Yin Jinhui thought of something and quickly ran into her bedroom. She took out a retro Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. “I have no use for this speaker. When we leave later, I’ll give this to her. We’re neighbors, after all.”

The melodious sound of the piano next door was a little lower, like a cry and a complaint, touching the hearts of anyone listening.

Sang Qianqian was entranced as she listened, thinking that Yin Jinhui was right. This girl’s piano skills were so good that she could be said to have graduated from a music school.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary person, but this girl was blind, which was quite rare.

Sang Qianqian wanted to see that girl. When they finished moving almost all of the luggage, she accompanied Yin Jinhui to the house next door.

The person who opened the door was a young man. He had handsome features and slightly long hair, which made him look especially artistic.

Seeing Sang Qianqian and Yin Jinhui, the man was stunned. “You are?”

“I’m your neighbor, and I’m looking for your wife.”

Yin Jinhui said cautiously, “She sent me dumplings before. I’m moving out soon, so I came to say goodbye and give her this small gift in return. I hope she won’t mind.”

Hearing the word “wife”, the man was slightly stunned, but his expression quickly turned into a smile. “Wait a moment, I’ll call her out.”

He walked into the house and shouted, “Shuangshuang, someone’s looking for you.”

A gentle female voice could be heard. “Who is it?”

“One of our neighbors. She’s moving out soon, so she’s here to say goodbye.”

The man’s voice was gentle. “I’ll help you over.”

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer.

Sang Qianqian’s heart also seemed to be suspended by an invisible thread, becoming more and more tense.

When the slim and graceful figure finally appeared in front of her…

The string in Sang Qianqian’s heart snapped. She was so excited that she almost lost control of herself and wanted to run over!

This was because the girl in front of her was Ruan Xiaoshuang who had jumped off the cliff and died that day. At that time, even her body was missing.. She was not dead at all, she was still alive!
