Shi Xin Xin, who already had a bad temper, was even more infuriated by the attitude of these two people, "Are you trying to play hardball with me?"
The bodyguard's expression was blank, "I'm sorry, Ms. Shi, if you really have something important to see the CEO about, please wait in the reception hall."
Shi Xin Xin gritted her teeth in anger, "I don't need to see him, but your attitude could get you fired."
The bodyguard remained indifferent, "Then please, Ms. Shi, convey these words to the CEO yourself."
Shi Xin Xin laughed in exasperation, "Heh... Fine, I'll see how Mr. Sheng handles you."
The bodyguard's expression was unchanged, "No matter the outcome, I am willing to accept punishment."
Shi Xin Xin became angry, "Is Sheng Chen Jin deliberately making things difficult for me?"
The bodyguard did not answer, but changed the subject, "Ms. Shi, please leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
"I don't believe you'd dare to lay a hand on me."
"Ms. Shi, please do not make things difficult for us."
Shi Xin Xin took a deep breath, "Alright, I'm leaving. But when I see Mr. Sheng, I will definitely negotiate with him." With that, she turned and walked towards the elevator.
Shi Xin Xin was furious, this man was simply too much!
Shi Xin Xin emerged from Sheng's Corporation and, while walking across the road, took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, this is Shi Xin Xin. Can you help me investigate if Sheng's Corporation has had any new projects in recent years? I want to know what Sheng Chen Jin is up to."
Shi Xin Xin took a taxi home, and all the way, she was worried about this matter.
Sheng's Corporation.
CEO's Office.
The secretary knocked and entered, handing a document to Sheng Chen Jin, "CEO, these are the sales figures for Sheng Shi Group this year."
Sheng Chen Jin took the document and began to read.
After a while, he closed the document, looked up at the secretary, and asked, "Are there any recent company events?"
The secretary shook her head, "There are no special events, just regular work."
Sheng Chen Jin frowned, "No events?" This didn't seem like his usual style.
"Mm-hmm."
Sheng Chen Jin pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, which employees came to the newspaper office today?"
The secretary thought for a moment, "Besides Secretary Lin, it seems like no one else from the newspaper office has arrived yet."
Secretary Lin was the daughter of the Chief Secretary, Lin Qian, and was also considered his mentor. Her sudden resignation this time struck him as odd.
Sheng Chen Jin thought for a moment and instructed, "Bring me today's employee information."
"Yes."
Lin Qian had worked diligently at Sheng's Corporation for years, serving as Sheng Chen Jin's personal assistant. Therefore, Sheng Chen Jin trusted Lin Qian a great deal.
Fifteen minutes later, the secretary presented Lin Qian's work plan for the year and her resume at Sheng's Corporation to Sheng Chen Jin.
Sheng Chen Jin read through it carefully, and as he scrolled down, his expression grew worse.
Because during her work period, Lin Qian had not performed any of the duties expected of a secretary, and she frequently took leave, even absent for three consecutive weeks. These facts were enough to make Sheng Chen Jin suspect Lin Qian's true intentions.
Sheng Chen Jin closed the document, his expression a mixture of emotions.
After a moment, he picked up the desk phone and dialed the internal extension, instructing, "Lin Qian, pack your things immediately and go to the Human Resources department to collect your resignation letter."
"Mr. Sheng, why?"
Sheng Chen Jin's voice was icy, "Why? Reflect on yourself!"
"Mr. Sheng, is there something I haven't done well, or have I made a mistake?"
Sheng Chen Jin snorted, "There is no reason. I don't want Sheng Shi to have any unstable elements."
Sheng Chen Jin's words were clear enough for Lin Qian to understand. She was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Sheng, thank you for your cultivation."
"You certainly need to learn how to perform the duties of a secretary," Sheng Chen Jin said indifferently.
After hanging up, Sheng Chen Jin picked up another folder on his desk and continued to read.
This time, it was a project proposal.
This project was very important to Sheng's Corporation, so he had to study it carefully to see which company's product it was.
Sheng Chen Jin's gaze fell on the second page of the proposal. At the bottom of the second page, a sentence was written.
[Sheng Shi and Di Hao Group have signed a long-term contract. Sheng Shi will provide high-quality products and services to Di Hao Group, and Di Hao Group will pay Sheng Shi a commission of fifty million yuan per month.]
Upon reading this, Sheng Chen Jin's lips curved into a sarcastic smile.
He hadn't expected to cooperate with Di Hao.
"Ring, ring..."
The desk phone rang.
Sheng Chen Jin reached out and pressed the button to silence it. A moment later, the secretary pushed the door open and reported, "CEO Sheng, your wife just called."
Sheng Chen Jin's brow furrowed slightly, "What about?"
The secretary replied respectfully, "Madam Sheng said she hopes CEO Sheng can bring Sheng Yu Xuan back as soon as possible, and not leave her to care for him alone, as they are both young."
Hearing this, Sheng Chen Jin's eyes flickered. He thought Madam Sheng wanted to force him to divorce his mother.
"Understood," Sheng Chen Jin said indifferently.
"By the way, Madam Sheng asked you to have lunch with her today," the secretary continued.
Sheng Chen Jin mused for a moment, "Understood."
"And, Madam Sheng asked you to have dinner with her tonight."
Sheng Chen Jin did not refuse, "Understood."
"Then, CEO Sheng, I'll be leaving now."
"Wait a moment!" Sheng Chen Jin called out, "Prepare a gift for me to send to Di Hao."
"Yes, CEO Sheng."
After the secretary left, Sheng Chen Jin rubbed his tired forehead, picked up his jacket, and walked directly out of the CEO's office.
He arrived at the lobby downstairs, preparing to take the elevator to the parking lot to get his car. As soon as he exited the elevator, he saw Lin Qian walking towards him. Beside her stood a man in a suit. The man was tall and slender, wearing glasses, and looked refined, clearly a scholarly man.
Upon seeing Sheng Chen Jin, a flicker of panic crossed Lin Qian's face, which quickly returned to normal.
Sheng Chen Jin glanced at the man, said nothing, and walked directly past Lin Qian towards the elevator.
Seeing Sheng Chen Jin's actions, Lin Qian's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip.
This Sheng Chen Jin, he actually ignored her, and in front of so many colleagues, he was too stingy to even call her "Mom," let alone address her as "Mother"!
If it weren't for Sheng Chen Jin, how could Shi Xin Xin have returned to the country?
Thinking of this, Lin Qian's heart was filled with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes, but they did not fall.
In this world, no one was worth her sadness.
Sheng Chen Jin got into his car, started the engine, and drove towards the location designated by Madam Sheng.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped near Madam Sheng's residential area.
After Sheng Chen Jin got out of the car, he walked towards the restaurant specified by Madam Sheng.
