I won't let you suffer anymore
Qi Yun panicked and said repeatedly, "Yes, Miss Ning, I'm sorry. It was our mistake that frightened you. I hope you can be magnanimous and not take it to heart."
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Miss Ning."
He stared at Shang Yingying with almost a look of disappointment. If it weren't for such a stupid subordinate, he wouldn't have been led astray and caused such a misunderstanding.
Several other people quickly expressed their opinions:
"I'm sorry, Miss Ning..."
"We didn't mean to do that. Sorry, Miss Ning."
"I'm so sorry, Miss Ning..."
Shang Yingying hesitated to speak, and she even looked at Sheng Yuanhan with a hopeful look.
Although she worked in the general manager's office, she had only met Sheng Yuanhan once in the six months since she started working there, and that was only from a distance.
It’s not like now, when I’m so close to him, my heart can’t help but beat faster.
"Mr. Sheng, I really didn't mean to do that, but Miss Ning suddenly barged into your office. We were worried she might have bad intentions, so we stopped her."
When Ning Qian heard Shang Yingying's delicate voice, her eyes darkened. She raised her head to see what her expression was. Unexpectedly, as soon as she struggled, Sheng Yuanhan held the back of her head.
【I finally got the chance to hug you, how could I let you break free?】
My hair smells a little different today, a mix of camellia and rose. How come I didn't notice it before?
[He lies in my arms like a well-behaved cat. I think I need a pet at home.]
Ning Qian was at a loss for words. Was she really so charming that he was so attached to her?
When others saw the lovers hugging, they all lowered their heads or looked away.
Only Shang Yingying, seeing Sheng Yuanhan ignoring her, became even more jealous and anxiously acted like a spoiled child: "Mr. Sheng..."
Sheng Yuanhan didn't even look at her. He said to Zhang Xu coldly, "This criticism will be announced to the entire company, and the quarterly performance of those involved will be halved."
Everyone held their breath and looked at Shang Yingying with resentment. If she hadn't been stirring up trouble, they wouldn't have made such a commotion.
Zhang Xu nodded respectfully, "Don't worry, Mr. Sheng, I will strictly follow orders and never let something like this happen again."
At this time, Ning Qian shook Sheng Yuanhan's hand and whispered, "Forget it, don't deduct your performance points, just write a self-criticism."
Sheng Yuanhan was stunned and asked, "Your feet don't hurt anymore?"
Ning Qian tried to move her ankle and uttered a soft "Huh?", "It doesn't hurt that much anymore."
Sheng Yuanhan smiled helplessly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Is it true or is it just a pretense to help them plead for mercy?"
Ning Qian didn't know how to answer for a moment. Her foot was a little better, but it still hurt. But she really didn't want to punish her employees for such a small matter and affect Sheng Yuanhan's image in the group.
At this moment, Sheng Yuanhan's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.
[What a kind and innocent girl! Even with her feet swollen, she still pleaded for others.]
[I don’t know whether this kind of character is good or bad for her? ]
[But as long as I'm here, no one else can use her weakness against her.]
A moment later, Sheng Yuanhan gave Zhang Xu a look, and Zhang Xu immediately understood and came forward, his eyes full of wisdom under his gold-rimmed glasses.
After a while, Zhang Xu cleared his throat and said to Qi Yun and the others, "Mr. Sheng is saying that Miss Ning is willing to forgive you and is pleading for your performance penalties to be waived. Considering this is your first offense, you only need to reflect on your actions. Next time you see Miss Ning, you must treat her the same way you would Mr. Sheng. No unreasonable or discriminatory treatment."
While Qi Yun didn't particularly care about performance, others did. For example, the security guards, upon hearing they'd been exempted from punishment, looked at Ning Qian with gratitude. They were simply following their superiors' orders, and the thought of having their pay deducted was heartbreaking.
At this time, Ni Xiang also looked at Ning Qian seriously, and was glad that the future Mrs. Sheng was not an arrogant and domineering person.
Shang Yingying's eyes showed disdain. She didn't care about this little money. Her purpose of coming to the Sheng family was to catch the rich husband of the Sheng family. Otherwise, why would she give up her good job as a young lady and come here to work like a slave?
Seeing that the matter had been handled, Zhang Xu said, "Mr. Sheng, shall we continue the meeting?"
"No need. Go arrange for all employees to attend hospitality etiquette training. Sheng's receives up to 500 guests a day. If something like this happens again, you can resign."
Sheng Yuanhan's words were light, but they carried unquestionable authority.
"Yes." Zhang Xu's heart trembled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ning Qian gradually became serious.
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly and followed Zhang Xu downstairs.
Before leaving, they met Chen Rong who was standing there, and she had no idea what had just happened.
When she saw Qi Yun, she smiled flatteringly and said, "Manager Qi, have you caught the person?"
Qi Yun's expression suddenly turned gloomy, but Chen Rong just kept talking, "I didn't dare to relax for a moment, so I didn't let outsiders in. Does the company have any special rewards for this?"
"Auntie Chen, right?" Qi Yun glanced at her work badge and continued, "I'll inform your supervisor that you won't have to clean above the 20th floor anymore."
Chen Rong was stunned for a moment. "Is this the only reward the company can give for such a great contribution?"
Qi Yun snorted coldly. His career was almost ruined today by these two talented people.
"Reward? Miss Ning just now is the CEO's real girlfriend. Remember to say hello when you meet next time."
Chen Rong stood there in a daze. After realizing what was happening, she hurriedly left the 30th floor with a bitter face and cleaning tools in her hand.
"I hug you?"
Only after Zhang Xu and his group left did Sheng Yuanhan loosen his arms.
"No, I can still walk."
Ning Qian limped into the conference room and found the nearest seat to sit down.
Sheng Yuanhan stared at her back, unable to understand why she was so stubborn. Maybe she didn't like his physical contact.
Instantly, he walked in slowly and silently, and sat down beside her silently.
Ning Qian rubbed her ankle a little, then turned her gaze to him. Seeing his expression of deep hatred and bitterness, she couldn't help laughing, "Why do you look like that? My injury is nothing. You don't have to act so sad."
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes were heavy, as if there was a galaxy rolling in his eyes, with heartache and helplessness.
"Have you always been pretending to be strong like this?"
"What are you talking about?" Ning Qian's eyes flashed with panic.
"You don't have to do this in front of me."
Sheng Yuanhan's voice was as clear as jade, gently striking her heart.
Ning Qian's ears instantly turned red, and her breathing became disordered. "I didn't, I just..."
The next words were difficult for her to say, as saying them would only make her seem ungrateful and pretentious.
"What is it?"
Sheng Yuanhan raised his eyes and looked at her, encouraging her to open her heart to him, and his eyes only wanted to hold her.
Ning Qian closed her eyes embarrassedly, "I just don't want to cause you any trouble."
"I know I'm not your official girlfriend, we don't have any official photos together, and we don't even know each other's secrets."
"I explained it to them, but they just wouldn't believe me. I had no choice..."
In the end, even Ning Qian herself didn't know what she was saying. She just kept spouting what was in her heart, not caring whether she said something wrong or not.
"you……"
Sheng Yuanhan stood up suddenly, a huge wave rising in his heart. He had never known that this fake identity had brought her so much grievance.
Ning Qian was shocked by his actions, but when she heard that he was standing up for her, her heart felt sweeter.
"It's okay. No one will chase me away when I come again."
Sheng Yuanhan's fingertips trembled, his eyes were cold and gloomy, with a firmness different from before, "Don't worry, this situation will not happen again."
Ning Qian suddenly shuddered. Why did this man's sweet words sound like threats?

Sheng Yao wore large sunglasses, revealing only her delicate little chin. She lay in a rocking chair, sipping the fruit tea in her hand and occasionally picking up a piece of Black Forest mousse cake wrapped in gold foil. Her life was leisurely and comfortable.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. She answered lazily, and then a man dressed as a butler came in. He respectfully handed over a sealed document, whispered a few words in Sheng Yao's ear, and then left.
As soon as he left, Sheng Yao's cold expression instantly melted. She put the fruit tea on the coffee table and tore open the document bag.
There was a piece of paper and a dozen photos inside.
The photo shows an ordinary three-story villa. There is a nanny who opens the door for the owner, a fashionably dressed housewife, a middle-aged man with a big belly, a young man in a suit and tie with a briefcase, and a boy in a white short-sleeved shirt pretending to shoot a basketball.
Sheng Yao picked up the paper again and took a look. It roughly described the family's daily travel habits and their address.
The housewife would take a bus to the nearest Times Square around 3 p.m. on Tuesday to have English afternoon tea with two other ladies of the same age.
At 6 p.m. on Thursdays, I go to a beauty salon 3 kilometers away from home for maintenance.
I will go to the dance studio to practice dancing at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning...
The middle-aged man goes home almost once a week and goes out again the next afternoon after returning.
Young men every day...
Sheng Yao frowned. She didn't have the patience to read it line by line, so she skipped the introduction directly. Finally, her eyes fixed on the address of the villa: Maple Leaf Ancient Road, Beiwang District.
Ever since she threatened her brother last time, she has never set foot in his house again. Since there is no way to drive this woman away directly, she might as well go to her house and find out the truth.
When her brother finds out the truth, he will naturally kick away this bad woman who is trying to curry favor with the powerful and has bad intentions.
The dazzling sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window meandered across half of her face. She pondered for a moment and realized that it was only 2 p.m., and the Beiwang District was not far away, so why not set off now?
The thought of being able to kill this woman's base camp made her smile.
Then she called Wen Lan again.
With a beep, the call was quickly connected.
Sheng Yao's voice instantly became sweet, "Sister Wen, are you free today? I'll take you to a nice place."
Wen Lan's voice was melodious and pleasant, "Where is it? I have to have dinner with my mom at 8 o'clock tonight. Can you make it back then?"
"Don't worry, it'll only take more than two hours to go back and forth. I'll bring our Xiao Yang with me, so everything will be fine." Sheng Yao calculated the time and there would be no problem getting back on time.
"Are you okay?" Wen Lan asked in confusion.
"Um, I just promise to get you home safely." Sheng Yao said vaguely.
"You clever little thing, let me get dressed first. We'll meet at our usual place in an hour?"
Sheng Yao was about to ask her to dress casually, but then she thought about the purpose of her trip and thought that dressing up more would be more likely to shock those ungrateful people.
"Okay? Sister Wen, come as you please, as beautiful as you are."
"Haha, you're teasing me again. See you later. Bye."
"Bye~"
After Sheng Yao hung up the phone, her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
