Xiao Sheng patted Shi Bin’s back and said, “Don’t worry. Actually, I came today because someone asked me to.”

Shi Bin looked at him in confusion.

Xiao Sheng said, “Your sister-in-law asked me to come. She specifically went to look for Liu Lan. You know that I’m a henpecked man, so I immediately came to look for you.”

When Shi Bin heard that Yuan Shu had asked his mentor to come, he was surprised and a little happy. “Mentor, why did my sister-in-law ask you to come? If she has something to tell me, why didn’t she tell me directly? She wasn’t even willing to eat lunch with me today.”

Xiao Sheng said earnestly, “You’re still too young. There are many complicated situations in the adult world. You don’t understand now, but you’ll understand in the future.”

“You have to be more confident. I believe that there’s nothing wrong with your handling of the matter. Yuan Shu was investigated because of my management mistake, which allowed a spy to sneak into the company and secretly operate your computer. However, this has nothing to do with you. You can’t punish yourself for other people’s mistakes.”

Shi Bin nodded, as if he understood. The gloomy look in his eyes finally disappeared.

Xiao Sheng continued, “Moreover, Yuan Shu’s investigation didn’t cause any negative impact. Secondly, even she herself doesn’t care about it, so why do you care so much? Her current attitude is just for show. She has her difficulties, so she can’t let you know directly, but she can’t bear to see you continue to be dispirited.”

Shi Bin looked at Xiao Sheng as he asked with uncertainty, “Is this really Sister-in-law’s idea?”

Xiao Sheng nodded and patted Shi Bin’s shoulder as he said, “So, you just have to do your job well during this period of time. Don’t worry about anything else. There are many people more outstanding than me in the Shi Corporation, so you should take this opportunity to study hard. When you’re done, if you don’t want to stay in the Shi Corporation anymore, you can look for me at anytime.”

Shi Bin was already smiling happily and no longer looked as dispirited as before. He asked Xiao Sheng to send him back to work quickly in order not to disappoint Yuan Shu.

Xiao Sheng sent Shi Bin back to the company. After Shi Bin went upstairs, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yuan Shu. “It’s done. I’ll return you a bubbly and cheerful Shi Bin.”

Yuan Shu stood in the office as she watched Shi Bin running into the company happily. She finally revealed a sincere smile.

This was a rare piece of good news for the Shi family lately.

When Yuan Shu saw the message on her phone, she replied, “Thank you.”

After work, Yuan Shu and Shi Yi agreed to meet at the entrance of the Wang family’s company at night.

When Yuan Shu arrived, Shi Yi wasn’t there yet. She must have worked overtime again today.

Since she had nothing to do, Yuan Shu decided to start looking at Zhao Tian’s information. Since she had decided to use this person, she had to do some research first.

Zhao Tian was a signed artist under the Wu family’s Star City Entertainment and was a top celebrity. Almost all of Star City Entertainment’s resources were invested in him, and his fame in the entertainment industry even exceeded Shi Lu’s. With such fame, he shouldn’t have accepted the offer of becoming the spokesperson of a new website.

Yuan Shu couldn’t help but wonder why Wei Ci was able to persuade Zhao Tian to endorse the website.

However, the Wu family was relatively neutral and didn’t clearly lean towards a certain faction. It seemed reasonable to choose an entertainment company under the Wu family, but Yuan Shu sensed some sort of conspiracy.

As Yuan Shu was thinking about it, Shi Yi rushed over. “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Yuan Shu joked with her, “It’s alright. You’re helping my company earn money, so how can I blame you?”

Shi Yi smiled and wanted to hold Yuan Shu’s hand, but she suddenly retracted her hand.

She was a few years older than Shi Bin and knew more about business. Therefore, after Yuan Shu moved out, she asked Yuan Shu for the reason. After finding out that this was an act put on by her brother and sister-in-law, she also pretended to be distant from Yuan Shu in front of outsiders.

She tidied her clothes and said to Yuan Shu, “Let’s go. We’re going to act out our first scene today.”

The two of them walked into the Wang family’s cotton shop one after another. They had an impassive expression the entire time, as if they really didn’t have a good relationship.

When the two of them arrived at the reception room, they realized that they weren’t the only ones who came today. Xu Zhi was also there..
