Xiao Dong was so grateful that his eyes reddened and he was almost crying. He quickly took two steps forward.

"Miss Shang, I... I really thank you! I will pay you back, and I will also pay you interest!"

"No need, just return the principal." Shang Wu stopped Xiao Dong from bowing and casually closed the door.

After closing the door, Shang Wu pursed her lips.

When she heard Xiao Dong say that he urgently needed money, she told Zhou Yanci about his failed investment.

As expected, Zhou Yanci did not give Xiao Dong any money.

She went with the flow, doing a favor to save someone from dire straits.

Xiao Dong has to repay this huge favor.

Shang Wu composed herself and went to knock on the door of the president's office.

"Come in."

As Shang Wu walked in, the first thing she smelled was the fragrance of women filling the room.

Fresh flowers were placed next to the coffee machine, and a photo album was added to the table, featuring a landscape photo of the sea, with only hands clasped tightly in the picture.

A temporary desk and a pink lumbar support chair were added in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The office, which was originally designed for a business style, suddenly felt very cheap.

Shang Wu looked around: "What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanci nervously stood up and explained, "Xiao Dong's family has been dealing with some things lately, and I'm too busy to handle things here, so I asked Chen Mian to come and help out."

With a defiant glint in her eyes, Shenmian walked over and said, "Miss Shang, Ah Ci and I did have a relationship before, but it's over now. I can't continue making videos and I'm looking for a job. I just happened to have some free time to come and help out. You... won't mind, will you?"

"Of course not, just don't mess things up or cause any problems."

Shang Wu glanced at her mockingly: "I'm here to process the handover certificate."

Chenmian smiled: "I'll take care of it for you."

She took the documents to the printer, looking quite professional.

Zhou Yanci coughed lightly, walked over to block Shang Wu's view, and chuckled, "I was just looking for you, and here you are. Please have a seat."

Shang Wu sat down at the table, and Zhou Yanci squeezed her hand: "Your jewelry sales have already reached 80,000. You should hurry up and get the factory to start production, or you won't have enough time to catch up."

Chenmian glanced at their clasped hands, pouted, walked over, and placed a cup of coffee between them.

Shang Wu immediately withdrew his hand.

"Yes, I came here to say that I need to contact the factory to ship the goods, but the branch is not officially operating yet, so we need to get the production certificate first."

Chenmian's eyes flickered: "Can't we produce goods without a production certificate?"

“Of course, there needs to be proper documentation from a legitimate company.” Zhou Yanci raised her hand. “You don’t understand this, so don’t interrupt.”

Chenmian's expression changed slightly. She bit her lip and turned away in frustration to stare at the printer.

With her back to the two of them, she took out her phone and sent a text message to Gu Ziqian.

[Shang Wu is processing her production certificate; don't give it to her.]

After sending the text message, Chenmian smiled and turned around to interrupt.

"Miss Shang, you absolutely mustn't let us down. Ah Ci values ​​you a lot. This time, the jewelry sales must be excellent; there can't be any mistakes."

Shang Wu glanced at her, a half-smile on her face: "I need to remind you that you are a secretary, not a president. You have no right to lecture me."

Zhou Yanci's expression stiffened slightly.

Chenmian immediately felt wronged: "What lecturing? I was just trying to be helpful. Ah Ci, look at her..."

"You're a secretary now, don't you know the company rules? I call you President Zhou at work, but you keep using that 'Ah' tone, what are you trying to do?"

Shang Wu interrupted her, raising an eyebrow at Zhou Yanci: "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Zhou Yanci glanced at her displeased expression, then at Chen Mian, and finally frowned and scolded, "From now on, you should call me President Zhou in the company."

Chenmian gritted her teeth in anger, feeling utterly ashamed.

She glared fiercely at Shang Wu.

What's with the attitude?!

Anyway, trouble is coming soon. When that happens, Zhou Yanci will be disappointed. Shang Wu won't be able to run rampant here, and he'll be kicked out of the branch.

Shang Wu stood up and pondered, "Once Xiao Dong's matter is resolved, you should fire Miss Shen. I can help her find another job. You two are exes, so it's not good for you to work in the same office. What do you think?"

Her gaze fell upon him, cool and aloof, tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yanci's eyes brightened slightly.

During this time, he scrutinized Shang Wu's attitude from the smallest details and felt that Shang Wu didn't like him as much as before.

Seeing Shang Wu so jealous now, he was actually happy.

Zhou Yanci curled her lips and stared intently at Shang Wu: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shang Wu knew he wouldn't refuse in order to act, so she glanced at Chen Mian's embarrassed and awkward face, pushed open the office door and went out.

She received a phone call as soon as she left.

Aying said anxiously, "I went to get the production certificate, and it was almost stamped, but it was rejected again. They said we don't have proof of a physical company. What should we do, Mr. Shang!"

Shang Wu paused in her tracks: "Who did this?"

Ah Ying said, "It seems his surname is Gu. A staff member answered a phone call and called him Young Master Gu."

Shang Wu narrowed her eyes.

Gu Ziqian.

Mrs. Gu's brother, who is also Gu Ziqian's uncle, works in the market factory supervision team.

With the Gu family holding the production certificate in check, there was basically no room for maneuver.

Shang Wu gripped her bag strap tightly and called Gu Ziqian as she went downstairs.
