"That's hard to say, Shi Yu is the CEO's wife. This is like gods fighting, and we mortals should just watch the show!"
Jiang Shiyu took a deep breath, her mind not on how to counter Fang Yuan's moves, but on the results of her grandfather's autopsy.
It had been days, there should be a result by now...
"Shi Yu, I heard there's a new case. Since you're so outstanding, let's assign it to you alone. Go for it."
Fang Yuan sat down not long before speaking, and casually said this during her turn.
This new case was difficult even for the manager, let alone Jiang Shiyu, an intern.
The manager was in a difficult position, "That's not good, Shi Yu doesn't have much experience yet, and this case is difficult..."
"The manager is underestimating her. Shi Yu is so outstanding, a本科生 who easily got an internship at Ling Sheng. I believe Shi Yu can definitely handle this job. If Shi Yu finishes this case, she'll be able to get a formal position!"
Fang Yuan said, feigning surprise and putting her hand to her mouth, "Oh right, I heard Shi Yu is the CEO's wife. I hope Shi Yu can set an example and do this job well, because it's not just your own work, but also helping your husband solve problems. But please don't rely on connections. After all, Ling Sheng is full of talent. If you complete this job through others, it won't be honorable!"
Fang Yuan said with a smile, every word laced with hidden barbs.
Jiang Shiyu gently bit her back molars, the corners of her mouth curving upwards, "They say a new official comes with three fires. The deputy manager just arrived and is already making things difficult for me during my internship? Even though I'm the CEO's wife and very capable, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this case... Since the deputy manager says it's so simple, why don't the deputy manager guide me? If the deputy manager guides me to complete such a difficult case, the higher-ups will know, and the deputy manager's position will be more stable!"
Fang Yuan's face turned a little ugly. Before she could say anything, the manager interrupted her, "Alright, I've decided. This case will be handled by experienced senior employees. I know you two have had issues, but since you are the deputy manager, you should have a bigger heart! We are all colleagues in the same department, sharing honor and disgrace!"
Fang Yuan had no choice but to suppress her anger, "The manager is right, but I also hope the manager won't be biased. Although Jiang Shiyu is the CEO's wife, she is also an employee of our company. I hope everyone can be treated equally!"
The manager sighed helplessly, "Naturally! I will be fair! This meeting is adjourned. Everyone go back to work!"
Jiang Shiyu returned to her office. As soon as she sat down, Xiao Hong came over, "Oh my god, Shi Yu, I heard Fang Yuan is the daughter of the group's chairman. Although Ling Sheng is not as large as their company, it's still significant. How did you provoke this person?"
Jiang Shiyu picked up her cup and took a sip of water, "It's okay, I have my own plans."
"It's good that you have your own plans. Fang Yuan is clearly targeting you. If it's really too much, you can transfer departments!"
Xiao Hong looked at Jiang Shiyu with worry.
"It's okay, thank you." Jiang Shiyu smiled gently and patted Xiao Hong's hand, reassuring her not to worry too much.
She was never a weak or shrinking person.
If she were, she would have been defeated by the Gu family long ago.
After her grandfather's death, she and her mother had suffered a lot.
Fang Yuan, accustomed to a life of luxury, born with a silver spoon in her mouth and showered with affection, had never experienced the despair of falling from heaven to hell.
Compared to that, Fang Yuan's targeting of her was nothing.
It was just that Jiang Shiyu hadn't expected Fang Yuan to be so aggressive.
Her work seemed endless, and she didn't even have time for lunch.
Murong Cheng called, but Jiang Shiyu was still busy with her work and didn't notice her phone.
When she came to her senses, she found Murong Cheng sitting beside her, clearly having been watching her for a while.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Shiyu was finishing her work and paused when she saw Murong Cheng, rubbing her eyes, her fatigue evident.
"Who assigned you so much work?" The man frowned and scanned the mountain of documents on Jiang Shiyu's desk.
Then he looked at the side, an office for ten people didn't have as many documents piled on Jiang Shiyu's desk.
"It's okay, it's good for tempering me..."
Jiang Shiyu continued her work as she spoke. A few minutes later, she finished and sent the email.
"Let's go..."
Jiang Shiyu stretched and stood up. Because she hadn't eaten lunch, her body swayed slightly.
The next second, she fell into the man's arms.
"Clatter—"
The sound of a breaking cup.
Jiang Shiyu looked over at the sound and saw Fang Yuan standing not far away, her face pale, looking at them.
Jiang Shiyu instinctively let go of the hand holding Murong Cheng.
However, the man did not let go.
He firmly gripped Jiang Shiyu's wrist and waist, making her unable to move.
The next second, Jiang Shiyu came to her senses and nestled into Murong Cheng's embrace, "Husband... my foot hurts. Can you carry me? I can't walk."
Even without looking at Fang Yuan's expression, she could tell that Fang Yuan's face must be extremely unpleasant right now.
Jiang Shiyu was picked up horizontally. She let out a soft cry and wrapped her arms around Murong Cheng, lowering her voice, "Put me down..."
"If your foot hurts, then don't walk, wife!"
The man deliberately emphasized his words, raising his tone.
He was cooperating perfectly.
Jiang Shiyu was just putting on a show for Fang Yuan, to make her retreat.
Who knew this man would take advantage of the situation and turn the act into reality.
Jiang Shiyu, unable to advance or retreat, could only let Murong Cheng carry her.
As they passed Fang Yuan, Jiang Shiyu glanced at her faintly.
Fang Yuan's face turned ashen, watching them walk past.
Jiang Shiyu lowered her eyes and withdrew her gaze.
"Wow—"
As the elevator doors opened, they were filled with colleagues who had been working overtime until this hour and were preparing to leave.
Seeing the scene outside the door, they all exclaimed in unison.
Jiang Shiyu wished she could find a hole to crawl into, burying her face deep in Murong Cheng's embrace.
It was too embarrassing...
She wasn't a child anymore!
Murong Cheng shouldn't just pick her up like this!
"The CEO and his wife are so affectionate!"
"So enviable, they are truly a perfect match!"
The colleagues in the elevator started showering them with praise.
Jiang Shiyu was too embarrassed to look up.
She could only hear the man's low chuckle from above.
The man laughed softly, almost inaudibly, so only she could hear.
Jiang Shiyu's face turned even redder.
As the elevator descended floor by floor, Jiang Shiyu wished she could get out of the elevator immediately.
When she came to her senses again, they were already downstairs.
Che Che had been waiting in the car for a long time. As soon as he saw them, he pushed open the car door and jumped out, "Mommy—"
The surrounding colleagues hadn't left yet. Seeing this scene, they exclaimed, "Oh my god, the CEO has been secretly married and had a child for five years?"
