Given her complicated family relationships and years of experience in the business world, Zhou Heyan almost instinctively felt that she had figured out what the secretary in front of her was thinking.
"Secretary Shen, please go ahead and get busy. We'll wait patiently for President Pei."
Zhou Heyan stared intently at Shen Yunan in front of her, a polite smile on her face, her voice refined but clearly conveying a desire to dismiss him.
"Cough cough."
After resting for a few days, Shen Yu'nan's cough has improved somewhat. Now he only coughs occasionally, but he still looks somewhat weak between his brows and his complexion is still pale.
In her opinion, Shen Yu Nan was trying to embarrass her younger brother, but that was not the case. The marks on Shen Yu Nan's neck were from when he pinched himself in front of the bathroom mirror. He was also deliberately wearing the item that Pei Wu had given him, which he had never worn before.
He didn't want to embarrass the young master of the Zhou family; he just wanted to use the young master to leave Pei Wu's side.
No one would allow such a secretary to stay by their fiancée's side.
"Yes." Shen Yu Nan raised his eyes and glanced at the Miss Gu who was speaking to him.
'It's alright, a hothouse flower can't see through my tricks, but it's not impossible for his sister to.'
Shen Yuhuan knew in his heart that the marriage alliance between the Pei and Zhou families was inevitable, and naturally only a nobody like him would be sacrificed. However, he did not notice that when he left, Gu Hedong lifted his eyelids to glance at Shen Yuhuan's back. However, his expression was normal, and there was still a smile on his lips. After about two or three seconds, he took a sip of the coffee in front of him.
Over the years, he has had his fair share of dealings with the many women who have surrounded his mother.

Pei Wu went to the conference room immediately after the meeting ended.
The Zhou siblings visited today because the chain supermarket jointly operated by the Pei and Gu families is facing a public opinion storm due to product quality issues. The leaders of the two families met to better resolve the problem at this critical moment and maintain the reputation of high-quality and low-priced products that they have maintained for many years.
This was the first time Pei Wu had met the Zhou siblings since entering the game. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and shook hands with Zhou Heyan.
Zhou Heyan looked at Pei Wu's outstretched hand, and at that moment she noticed that the women's watch on Pei Wu's wrist was a matching couple's watch with the one worn by the secretary earlier.
Zhou Heyan took a deep breath, trying her best to maintain her politeness, and reached out to greet Pei Wu.
In any case, the Pei family is someone they cannot afford to offend.
"Miss Pei, you're too kind. Let's focus on resolving the current issues."
"Um."

Before the meeting started, Pei Wu saw Shen Yu Nan, who hadn't been to the company for three days. As his secretary, Shen Yu Nan brought the necessary materials for the meeting. When Pei Wu first saw Shen Yu Nan, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. Her eyes fell on the time he handed her the materials. However, the watch on his wrist was not the one he was wearing that day. According to her memory, this should be the watch she had given him before, and he had never worn it.
Why today?
Pei Wu subconsciously glanced at Shen Yu Nan, and upon closer inspection, she noticed the red marks on his neck. For some reason, she immediately understood Shen Yu Nan's intentions. In short, it wasn't because he wanted to assert his dominance, but rather because he wanted to use the Gu family's influence to leave Diana.
'However, wanting to take this opportunity to escape is understandable, after experiencing something like that.' Pei Wu thought to herself, her fingers slightly tightening around the paper document in her hand. Based on her memory, Shen Yu Nan was the pitiful little wretch whose weaknesses had been exploited, leaving him no choice but to submit. But now it seemed she had underestimated his cunning.
"President Pei, is there anything I can do for you?" Shen Yu Nan asked Pei Wu.
The close proximity allowed Pei Wu to clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from the other person, but as she maintained a safe distance, she subconsciously leaned back slightly.
'As expected, Shen Yu'nan is behaving unusually strangely today.'
"No, you can go ahead and get back to work."
Pei Wu watched Shen Yu Nan's departing figure, shook her head slightly, and sighed.
Pei Wu had planned to grant Shen Yu Nan's wish after he returned from his vacation, but she did not expect that he had his own plans from the beginning. He intended to use the young master of the Zhou family as a stepping stone to leave Diana.
After the meeting, Pei Wu called Shen Yu Nan into her office.
"Hand over your work, and you don't need to come in tomorrow." As Pei Wu spoke, she opened the drawer next to her, took out a bank card, and pushed it in front of Shen Yu Nan. "This is your compensation for unilaterally terminating our employment relationship."
"..." Shen Yu Nan listened to Pei Wu's words as if he were dreaming. When he came to his senses, a hint of joy flashed through his heart.
He just didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily this time. Heaven knows how much effort he had put into leaving Diana and Pei Wu's side over the past three years.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "President Pei, what do you mean?"
Seeing his tentative question, Pei Wu answered Shen Yu Nan's thoughts directly, "Yes, you will no longer be President Diana's secretary. As for... any other improper relationships, that's the end of it. From now on, you are just you, Shen Yu Nan."
Shen Yu Nan stared intently at Pei Wu's expression, as if trying to discern a clue from her face, but it was as if the composed woman in front of him was a stranger, and he could not fathom her thoughts at all.
"Is everything wiped clean?" Shen Yu'nan continued to ask.
