On the surface, Chu Chushengge has done more than enough.

Jiang Yan didn't leave much behind at the company. She packed up quickly, said goodbye to everyone, and was about to leave.

"Jiang, Jiang Yan, aren't you going to meet with President Chu again?" someone couldn't help but ask.

If we don't ask now, we'll have even less chance to ask once Jiang Yan leaves.

They had all witnessed the relationship between Jiang Yan and Chu Ruoxue before. Moreover, Jiang Yan's termination of her contract with the company was not due to any unforgivable crime, and it had nothing to do with personal issues. Even if she and Chu Ruoxue were no longer friends, they were at least good colleagues and superiors before, and they hadn't fallen out. It's not like she wouldn't even look at Chu Ruoxue anymore.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "No, thank you."

As soon as she left, everyone in the company gathered together and started gossiping.

"It seems like neither of them wants to see the other."

"What's the point of seeing him? With Qin Yiheng in the middle, isn't everything we say just awkward?"

"Did you guys watch Jiang Yan's live stream yesterday? Qin Yiheng's performance at the hospital... his apprentice actually beat that doctor..."

When this was mentioned, everyone nodded in agreement and then began to analyze it on their own.

"Actually, Qin Yiheng is really capable, we can all see that, and President Chu couldn't possibly not know that, but President Chu... probably feels threatened by her?"

"I really don't understand the things that happen in these big family businesses. To be honest, if I were Chu Ruoxue, I would be worried too. But isn't she afraid that Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan will come back to take revenge?"

"No way, I think Jiang Yan and Qin Yiheng are both pretty good people, they should both be magnanimous, they shouldn't do such a thing."

Someone clicked their tongue and said, "Why bother with any special revenge? Once Jiang Yan leaves, just wait and see. Chu Chu Sheng Ge's performance will definitely decline, and then we won't have an easy time."

"Yes, instead of worrying about them, we should think about ourselves."

When Bai Youyou returned after touching up her makeup, she saw them discussing something together. She noticed that she had moved closer and joined in the discussion.

"Hey, let me tell you, when Jiang Yan came over today, I asked her, and she said she wants to start her own business. Guess what she wants to do?"

Bai Youyou kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then said, "She said she's also starting a live-streaming company!"

This sentence contains a lot of information, and everyone's facial expressions were very varied.

"I was just saying she can't go against Chu Chusheng, but this is... But really, it's not a big deal. A live streaming company isn't anyone's right, so why can't she open one?"

"Yes, and there's another advantage: if things go well for her, I can go over there..."

"Shh! Just think about it, don't dare say it out loud. What if someone tells President Chu? Are you thinking of leaving now? Her company hasn't even started yet."

After this discussion, it was time to get back to work, so everyone quickly went about their business and dispersed.

Unsurprisingly, such words also reached Chu Ruoxue's ears.

"President Chu, should we hold a meeting and talk to everyone about this?" Secretary Jin was very worried; this was not a good sign.

"What did you say?" Chu Ruoxue acted as if she hadn't heard a word, and said, "Just because they casually made a few comments, I have to hold a meeting? Does that mean I'll have to spend every day in meetings?"

This statement is certainly not without merit, but...

Before Secretary Jin could say anything more, Chu Ruoxue waved her away.

This attitude caused deep unease among the company's staff.

Chu Ruoxue naturally had her own plans. It would be best if Jiang Yan could start a live-streaming company and make it big and strong. Then...

She would present Chu Chusheng with both hands.

So why would she care about what people in the company are saying now?

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At this moment, Jiang Yan, who had already left, was of course unaware of these things, because she saw Shen Ru when she went from the company to the parking lot to pick up her car.

When Jiang Yan first saw her, she didn't think anything was wrong. Shen Ru's clothes and appearance were the same as usual, so she recognized her immediately.

She doesn't usually cover herself up this much, probably because she's afraid of being recognized, or maybe Han Mingrui or Qi Wei sent someone to follow her. It's normal for her to be careful.

Those people aren't as familiar with Shen Ru as I am; if they can't see her face, they'll have a hard time recognizing her.

Jiang Yan can understand all of this.

But as she got closer, Jiang Yan finally realized something was wrong.

She saw Shen Ru's eyes; they were swollen, sickly, and held a hint of neurosis and unspeakable emotion...

If this is the case, other places probably aren't much better.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Yan asked, frowning.

She naturally couldn't tell Shen Ru that she already knew what had happened, and quickly changed the subject before Shen Ru could answer: "You watched my live stream yesterday? Why did you send me Qiwei's phone number?"

Both she and Qin Yiheng were convinced that Shen Ru would take the initiative, and here she is.

But Jiang Yan won't rush to say anything.

"Don't you know?" Shen Ru asked, her voice slightly hoarse and her tone flat.

This makes it impossible to determine her motives.

Jiang Yan's brows furrowed even more, her expression growing increasingly puzzled: "What should I know? What happened? Why have you become like this? You came here to find me, right?"

This series of questions seemed to confirm to Shen Ru that she truly did not know the inside story.

Then Shen Ru's eyes filled with tears.

"Why are you crying? Say something! What happened?"

Although Jiang Yan is not a qualified actress, she is at least a qualified anchor, so it is not a challenge for her to unleash her acting skills at this time.

"Yan Yan, something's happened to me, please save me." Shen Ru held Jiang Yan's hand, her voice filled with fear and her lips trembling.

Jiang Yan, not understanding, asked again, "What?"

Shen Ru did not answer immediately. She quickly looked around, appearing somewhat neurotic. It was unclear whether someone was actually paying attention to her or if she was just imagining an enemy.

Then she lowered her voice, pulled Jiang Yan into the car, and urged her as she did so, "Let's talk in the car. You drive out, drive out quickly..."

"Why don't you give me a brief explanation first?"

Jiang Yan still looked distrustful of Shen Ru, remaining calm and uncooperative, and unwilling to get in the car.

The only sign of panic she displayed was because of Shen Ru.

Shen Ru had no choice; she knew that Jiang Yan hadn't trusted her much even before this.
