Well...

Chapter Fifty-Six: On Who is a Better Match

Yuanbao stared wide-eyed at the room full of toys.

Yang Xu asked with amusement, "Does the young master like it?"

Yuanbao looked at him, then at the pile of toys, and then ran to Yan Sen's side. He said in what he thought was a very soft voice, "Grandpa, I think they're trying to kidnap a child. Please take me away!"

This made Grandpa Shen laugh heartily again. He pointed to the toys in the room and said to Yuanbao, "These are all prepared for you. See if you like them."

Yan Sen patted his back gently and said, "Your great-grandfather and father prepared this for you. Do you like it?"

Yuanbao turned to look at the pile of toys again, his eyes clearly glued to them, but he hesitated and said, "I do like them... but Mom said I can't take other people's things without a reason."

Hearing his mature tone, Shen Du couldn't help but smile.

The old man coaxed gently, "But this doesn't mean you took other people's things for no reason, does it? This was given to you by your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather and father are your family, not strangers."

After listening, Xiao Yuanbao clearly retorted, "But I don't know if he's my father or not, so I can't just take your things."

Butler Liu couldn't help but exclaim, "At such a young age, his thinking is clear and his logic is sound. He's really smart."

The old man also sighed, "Yes, just as smart as Adu."

Yuanbao heard someone praise him for being smart, and he pouted with a smug look on his face, saying, "My mom also says I'm smart, and I'm the bravest kid on Guihua Road!"

"Hahahaha..." The old man threw his head back and laughed heartily, and the others also laughed heartily.

Yuanbao thought no one believed him, so he frowned and said very seriously again, "I'm not lying, I really am the bravest child on Guihua Road."

The old man quickly said, "Good, good, great-grandfather believes you're not lying. You are the bravest child."

Yuanbao then pouted happily, her little face full of pride.

In the spacious suite, several adults were playing with the children, and the room was filled with laughter.

Meanwhile, at the Shen Group, Xie Yao and Lin Yi were extremely busy.

After attending two meetings in a row, Lin Yi frowned and walked quickly forward, sighing, "Where did President Chen go? Such an important meeting was canceled just like that."

Xie Yao paused for two seconds before replying, "It might be something important."

Lin Yi continued, "Yang Xu too, he just left with President Chen without saying a word, leaving behind a ton of work. What was he thinking?"

Xie Yao didn't respond to him, her brows furrowed as if she were lost in thought.

The two hurried to the office, only to find two unfamiliar faces sitting at the door.

Lin Yi glanced at them in confusion, and then a colleague walked up to them and whispered, "Miss Shu is in President Shen's office, we can't stop her."

Xie Yao paused, turned to Lin Yi, and said, "Go ahead."

Lin Yi handed her the documents and hurried towards Chen Du's office.

"Miss Shu, you've arrived?"

Shu Yang stood in front of the French windows, turned around when he heard the sound, glanced behind Lin Yi, and asked, "Where's A-Du?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You should know that we subordinates have no right to inquire about what President Shen is busy with..."

Shu Yang frowned and turned around: "Didn't he say where he went?"

Lin Yi replied respectfully, "President Shen didn't say."

Shu Yang picked up her phone and made a call. After a moment, she asked gently, "Adu, where did you go?"

"I'm at your company."

When will you be back?

"Was it you who asked President Chen to speed up the filming process?"

"Do you know I haven't been feeling well these past few days?"

Lin Yi silently looked away, thinking that Miss Shu's feelings for President Shen were quite obvious. She had been acting superior to him just now, but she was much more docile in front of President Shen.

Shu Yang's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened to what Chen Du said on the other end of the phone, and her tone became somewhat stiff: "The slow filming progress can't be entirely my fault. I haven't been feeling well these past two days, how am I supposed to catch up?"

After listening, Chen Du simply said in a calm tone, "You're part of the crew, so just follow the director's instructions. If there's anything, just talk to President Chen or the others. You don't need to come to me."

After saying that, he hung up the phone before Shu Yang could say anything else. Shu Yang on the other end of the line looked extremely ugly and ignored Lin Yi beside him, walking away directly.

Lin Yi watched her retreating figure and sighed, "What kind of mess is this..."

He knew about this Miss Shu before. He heard that she had a very good relationship with President Shen. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The only women who were close to President Shen were his cousin Su Xue and this Miss Shu.

Since Miss Shu returned to China, she has been visiting President Shen every few days. Lin Yi remembers that at first, President Shen was in a pretty good mood when he met her, but later, for some reason, he seemed to deliberately distance himself from her. Lin Yi slowly realized that Miss Shu had different feelings for President Shen, but President Shen not only didn't respond but also deliberately distanced himself. The meaning was already very clear, but Miss Shu seemed not to understand his meaning and insisted on getting close to President Shen.

Lin Yi couldn't understand it either. There were plenty of handsome men out there, and countless more considerate than President Shen. Why was Miss Shu so fixated on this one? Although President Shen was rich, the Shu family wasn't short of money either.

He sighed, shook his head, and walked out of Chen Du's office.

When he came out, everyone was gathered together whispering about something. They dispersed when they saw him come out, but gathered together again after he returned to his office.

"This Miss Shu is so clueless. I think even President Shen can't be bothered with her, so why does she still have the nerve to come looking for him?"

"President Shen is handsome, rich, and capable. It's normal for him to make a woman go to such lengths for him."

Someone chimed in, "Exactly! Look at President Shen's fiancée four years ago. She's way more shameless than Miss Shu. She was even engaged to President Shen. Why can't Miss Shu? She comes from a good family and has her own career..."

"But I heard that Miss Shu isn't a very good person either; she often acts like a diva while filming."

Someone else lowered their voice and said, "If you ask me, Xie Yao, our CEO's secretary, is a better match for him. They have great chemistry at work, have known each other for a long time, and are each other's first love. What if they suddenly fall for each other..."

"Go away, go away..." someone interrupted him with a frown: "What nonsense are you talking about? The first love thing is just a rumor. Who knows if it's true or not? I think he's more suitable for Miss Shu. They're a good match."

At this moment, someone walked over from the side and said loudly, "What are you saying? President Shen has already given instructions that we can't gossip during work hours."

"It's just that Mr. Shen isn't here, so we're just having a chat."

The group dispersed, laughing and joking, and once the outside quieted down, Xie Yao emerged from the adjacent tea room.
