Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Shortly after leaving the company, Su Ningshuang and Li Wei arrived at Shen Zhixiao's group.

The sound of high heels echoed through the door, drawing the attention of the receptionist.

There weren't any of those vulgar scenes from novels: the receptionist pretending not to see them and deliberately ignoring them, or saying something like they didn't have an appointment, giving them a hard time.

Upon seeing Su Ningshuang, one of them pressed the call button and relayed the news of Su Ningshuang's arrival to the higher-ups.

Another receptionist, dressed in a business suit, quickly approached, bowing slightly, her voice carrying a hint of respect:

"President Su, President Shen is already waiting for you in the conference room."

Without Lin Shi present, Su Ningshuang reverted to her icy demeanor. Even in summer, she exuded a chilling aura.

She nodded slightly and continued walking towards the elevator without stopping.

The receptionist followed closely to the side and half a step behind, neither overshadowing the host nor failing to provide immediate directions.

Su Ningshuang and Li Wei arrived at the conference room without any problems.

Pushing open the meeting room door, you'll see a long conference table occupying the central area of ​​the room.

Shen Zhixiao sat at the head of the conference table, on its narrow side. Behind her was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and sunlight streamed in, draping her in a golden veil that was somewhat dazzling.

She sat with an air of absolute control in a leather chair that was somewhat different from the others. Like an emperor sitting on her dragon throne, she exuded an aura of dominance, surveying Su Ning Shuang with disdain.

Two ministers stood on either side of her, along with her secretary and her subordinates.

My gaze shifted from them to the left:

On the left side of the conference table, to Shen Zhixiao's left, sat Liu Ruyan and Xia Ye.

Liu Ruyan was wearing a fiery red dress, playing with the ends of her hair with her fingertips, seemingly lost in thought, a charming smile on her face.

Xia Ye was dressed a little more normally, in simple casual clothes. He looked around somewhat boredly.

The two people are standing very close together, indicating that they have formed an alliance.

Su Ningshuang glanced briefly at the layout of the room, and without any hesitation, walked straight to the empty seat on the other side of the conference table.

At this point, the four people were in a triangular formation.

Shen Zhixiao, who was closest to Lin Shi, occupied the main seat, while Su Ningshuang, who controlled human rights, sat on the right, forming her own faction. Xia Ye and Liu Ruyan had a weaker relationship, so they joined forces.

Su Ningshuang had just sat down when Shen Zhixiao spoke directly, his tone cold and hard, carrying an undeniable forcefulness:

"Everyone's here, let's begin." He then slowly glanced around. "Any objections?"

Normally, Su Ningshuang would simply dismiss such low-level negotiation tactics with disdain, instead using her own imposing presence to silently counter them.

But for some reason, I feel extremely annoyed today.

Shen Zhixiao's condescending attitude, in particular, instantly ignited her anger: Shen Zhixiao wants to take control based on his initial acquaintance with Lin Shi, right?

Su Ningshuang leaned forward slightly, exuding a powerful aura, and directly challenged him:

"What are your plans? How can you find a good future for Lin Shi through my connections?"

To put it bluntly: the person is with me now. If I'm not satisfied, there's no point in continuing the discussion.

Upon hearing Su Ningshuang's words, Shen Zhixiao's eyes darkened, and the atmosphere around him instantly became tense.

Su Ningshuang was equally unyielding, displaying her "Frozen Domain".

Sparks flew between their eyes, their auras clashing.

Shen Zhixiao's right-hand man quietly clenched his fist, remembering the psychologist's instructions to him that morning:

"President Shen hasn't taken her medication to keep her mind clear. You need to do your best to maintain her emotional stability."

Then, looking at the scene before him, he swallowed hard.

Doctor, I can't do it. I simply can't.

Seeing the two about to glare at each other with genuine anger, Natsuno quickly intervened to defuse the situation:

"It's not a plan, it's a discussion, let's discuss it together."

After saying that, he nudged Liu Ruyan next to him with his elbow.

If a fight really breaks out, there's no point in holding a meeting. I'll just go directly to Lin Shi and confess, and then see if I can take him on a wilderness survival trip.

You guys might as well all stop playing, but now I'm giving you a little something extra. You should all thank me.

Liu Ruyan was still lost in thought, basking in the joy of being Lin Shi's boss. She had come up with nine ways to entertain herself in the office and was currently brainstorming a tenth.

Suddenly woke up by Natsuno's arm, he looked at Natsuno with some confusion.

What's wrong? Why did you stab me?

Xia Ye's eyes kept glancing between Shen Zhixiao and Su Ningshuang. Seeing the little bit of drool escaping from Liu Ruyan's mouth, he felt a sudden sense of helplessness.

I'm really impressed by you.

If they start fighting, they'll just throw you between them and let them have their fun.

Maybe the two of them will become friends after a fight, and eventually sit down and have a good chat.

Liu Ruyan glanced at the two of them, her face showing no fear, but instead she smiled, and then said in a light tone:

"Go ahead and fight, you two. Su Ningshuang, remember to leave Lin Shi with me first, so he doesn't get hurt. I'm worried about him."

Shen Zhixiao and Su Ningshuang instantly averted their gaze and looked at Liu Ruyan. They both cursed inwardly at the same time:

"Slutty fox."

Then they both snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xia Ye quickly chimed in, "Sisters, have you decided what kind of work you want Lin Shi to do?"

"New energy".

"medicine."

"E-commerce".

Three completely different voices rang out at the same time.

Everyone has their own agenda. They all want Lin Shi to develop in their own field.

Shen Zhixiao was originally in real estate, but he is currently undergoing an industry transformation, moving towards new energy, which is supported by the state.

Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, has the backing of the entertainment industry to vigorously develop the live streaming industry, and e-commerce is also under her control.

Su Ningshuang didn't even bother to act. The Su family itself was in the pharmaceutical industry, and she had independently established the cosmetics business. Sending Lin Shi into the pharmaceutical industry, which almost everyone had to enter, was clearly a way of making Lin Shi take over the Su family business.

They glared at each other again, but last time it was Su Ningshuang and Shen Zhixiao. This time, Liu Ruyan, a third person, was also present.

When faced with Lin Shi's question, all three of them lost their composure as CEOs.

They kept explaining the advantages of their chosen industry while subtly belittling the choices of others.

The secretaries behind the three, watching their ongoing argument, exchanged glances. Then, without prior arrangement, they simultaneously lowered their breathing.

Don't help them, and I won't help them either. Let them argue.

If I lose this argument, I'll really lose my job.

As Xia Ye watched the stalemate between the three, pop-up windows kept appearing in his mind.

Why are you arguing again?!

Lin Shi, where are you? Please come and help me. I miss you.

Natsuno began to miss Lin Shi, with whom she had been in her past life. No matter what problems she had, she could simply throw them at him, and he would always solve them perfectly.

[Natsuno's favorability towards you has increased by 5 points, currently at 40 points. Please continue your efforts, host.]

Lin Shi remained seated, engrossed in his game. His boss and chief secretary were both absent, and he had no other work to do, so he could indulge in unrestrained entertainment.

Seeing the pop-up window that suddenly appeared, he looked extremely puzzled.

What did Natsuno do? Why did she suddenly gain so much favorability?

He thought carefully about what interactions he had had with Natsuno recently.

Then it suddenly dawned on me.

Wow~ He must have won the bet, he's happy.

I'll just ask her for it later, let her be happy for a while longer. Anyway, she's unlikely to renege on her debt.
