Li Ci sneered. “The Shi Corporation is the one who wants to punish you now, not me. You should stay here and clean up your own mess. I’ll get the company to send you the termination notice. From today onwards, you’re no longer an artist under me.”

Zhao Tian looked at Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu in despair.

There were already reporters gathered outside the door. Shi Xiao got someone to send Zhao Tian out. Under the cameras of the reporters, Zhao Tian covered his face in a panic.

After some of Zhao Tian’s actions and words that showed his contempt for his fans were publicized, many fans left the fandom.

After dealing with Zhao Tian, Shi Xiao brought Yuan Shu back to the Shi Corporation. He wanted to do a review of this live broadcast, but he didn’t expect to encounter an uninvited guest in the corporation.

As soon as Shi Xiao walked into the office building, Zhao Mian came out to welcome him. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Yuan Shu following behind him and swallowed her words.

Seeing that she was hesitating to speak, Shi Xiao said, “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hesitate.”

Zhao Mian glanced at Yuan Shu again and finally said, “Miss Lin is here. She’s waiting for you in the office.”

For a moment, Shi Xiao couldn’t remember who Miss Lin was. Zhao Mian reminded him softly, “It’s Lin Xi.”

Shi Xiao was puzzled. Why did she suddenly come?

When Shi Xiao brought Yuan Shu back to the office, he saw Lin Xi standing in front of the window. She was wearing a long white dress, and her long hair drapped over her shoulders like a white lotus. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, making her face look vivacious and charming.

When Lin Xi heard their arrival, she immediately walked towards the door. When she saw Shi Xiao, she said excitedly, “Shi Xiao, you’re finally here!”

As soon as she spoke, everyone was shocked. Wasn’t she mute? Why could she suddenly speak now?!

Shi Xiao frowned and couldn’t help but wonder if she had been pretending to be mute in the past.

Shi Xiao couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with your throat?”

Lin Xi explained, “Previously, I was traumatized, so 1 couldn’t speak. However, during this period of time, I actually slowly recovered after my recuperation at home. I even went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that perhaps because of the shock from before, my nerves were suppressed. Now that I’ve obtained sufficient rest and don’t have to live in fear like when I was in Africa, I naturally recovered my voice.”

When Shi Xiao heard the mention of Africa, his expression relaxed a bit. It seemed like he still minded the fact that Lin Xi saved his life.

Yuan Shu sneered inwardly. Who would believe such a lame excuse? Not to mention Shi Xiao had a distrustful personality.

However, Shi Xiao didn’t harp on this. He frowned and asked, “Then why did you come to the company?”

Lin Xi revealed an innocent expression as she said, “Of course I’m here to help you. Previously, because I couldn’t speak, there were many things that weren’t convenient for me to do, but now that I’ve already recovered my ability to speak, 1 naturally hope to help you more by your side.”

Shi Xiao rejected coldly, “No need.”

Lin Xi looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Even if I can’t help you, it’s still very important for me to find a job for myself. Do I have to rely on you to support me for the rest of my life?”

Shi Xiao appeared to be convinced. He asked Zhao Mian to find a company suitable job for her, but Lin Xi rejected every job with various excuses.

Shi Xiao grew impatient. “What do you have in mind? Just say it.”

“I’ve been in Africa for so long, so I don’t know anything except to serve tea. Let me stay by your side and do something.”

Shi Xiao could tell that she wanted to stay here no matter what.

Shi Xiao frowned and couldn’t help but look at Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu looked indifferent, which disappointed Shi Xiao.

After he walked to the desk and sat down, he looked at Lin Xi and asked, “Then tell me, what kind of position do you want in the corporation? Or what do you think you can do?”

Lin Xi said innocently, “How about letting me be your assistant? I might not be able to do anything else, but 1 can definitely do this. I know your preferences. I’ll prepare tea for you every day and take care of your meals every day…”

Zhao Mian couldn’t help but snicker.

After Lin Xi was interrupted, she looked at Zhao Mian with displeasure.

Zhao Mian could only explain, “Miss Lin, these aren’t the only things an assistant does. An assistant also has to be in charge of various business liaisons. It’s very complicated..”
