Shen Baiyan led Su Wan from the lobby of the Shen Group office into the elevator.
Earlier, an employee saw Shen Baiyan speaking softly on the phone and then hurriedly walking out of the private elevator. Everyone couldn't help but wonder who their big boss was talking to and why he was in such a hurry.
Everyone was speculating.
At this moment, they saw their big boss leading a beautiful girl in from outside. The ruthless and decisive aura that he used to exude was gone, and his usually cold and sharp eyes had now concealed their ruthless and cold-blooded edge, replaced by a gentle and kind-hearted "brother next door" demeanor.
Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Shen Baiyan.
But more than anything, people are curious about Su Wan's identity.
In the eyes of his employees, Shen Baiyan has always been a decisive, aloof, and self-disciplined figure. Not to mention women, even female mosquitoes have never come near him.
Even many outsiders know that all the employees in Shen's CEO office are men, and even the higher-ups who can get close to Shen Baiyan are all male. It's not that Shen Baiyan discriminates against women, but two years ago, a female secretary in the CEO office drugged Shen Baiyan in an attempt to climb the corporate ladder. However, the drugged water was unintentionally given to Shen Baiyan's assistant, Xu Han, by Shen Baiyan. After the incident was exposed, Shen Baiyan fired the female secretary and stipulated that his CEO office would only hire men from now on. This completely eliminated the idea of female employees with ulterior motives who wanted to climb the corporate ladder.
It wasn't until the two entered the private elevator that everyone snapped out of their shock and returned to their respective departments to gossip with their closest colleagues.
When Xu Han's secretary, Qi Huan, heard about this, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
She, the daughter of the prestigious Qi Group, became an assistant to Shen Baiyan simply because she liked him, just to be closer to him.
As a result, the unattainable beauty she had painstakingly protected was about to be plucked by another woman. How could she bear it!
——
Inside the elevator, Shen Baiyan didn't speak, but he held Su Wan's hand tightly the whole time.
Su Wan looked up at him, and seeing that Shen Baiyan didn't seem to want to speak, she remained silent, secretly turning her gaze away and looking at the two figures reflected on the elevator wall.
The copper walls of the elevator reflected two figures, one tall and one short. Because the image was blurry and their expressions were not clear, the shadows made them look like a couple holding hands intimately.
Upon reaching the office floor, the elevator doors opened, and Shen Baiyan led Su Wan out of the elevator. They then passed through the president's office area before entering the president's office.
When the staff in the president's office saw Shen Baiyan leading a woman past them and into the president's office, their eyes immediately lit up with a 'gossip' light. However, due to their professional ethics, they had to suppress their damned curiosity and continue to bury themselves in their work.
After the office door closed, Shen Baiyan finally let go of Su Wan's hand.
"Please sit down!"
When Su Wan first came to Shen Baiyan's office, her eyes were immediately drawn to the office's decor.
Shen Baiyan's office features a modern minimalist style with a white ceiling, a gray patterned carpet, a gray and white bookshelf, and a black leather executive chair and sofa. The large office has very few items, which makes it seem even bigger. In short, the first impression of the environment is that it is clean and tidy, followed by solemnity and heaviness.
Su Wan withdrew her gaze and walked to the sofa next to the door on the side of the desk, where she sat down.
Shen Baiyan sat down in the single chair opposite her: "What would you like to drink?"
Su Wan declined: "No need, thank you!"
She looked at Shen Baiyan across from her and said solemnly, "I came to find you because I couldn't get through to you on the phone. Not long ago, Jiang Jinyu called me and said he wanted to talk to me about electronics business. I was confused at the time, so I refused him outright. But then he said that he had already given the business to you, and he even asked me if I knew about the murder case caused by the 'smart learning machine', and then he hung up the phone."
Upon hearing Su Wan's words, Shen Baiyan's eyes flashed with shock.
That business deal actually resulted in a murder!
No wonder he came to 'offer business'; if that's really the case, then it's not business, it's a pit of fire!
Shen Baiyan pondered for a moment and said, "He's bluffing you. I never intended to take that business. Maybe he knows something and wants to set a trap for me, hoping to get something in return. I refused him, and to trick me, he was so 'generous' as to offer to give it to me just to ask for a favor. No matter what he said, I refused. So he suspects that I know that business will go wrong. He thinks you told me about the danger, which is why I refused. He doesn't want to believe that I'm smarter than him, so he deliberately tested you to see if you knew about it."
Upon hearing these words, Su Wan suddenly realized something and stood up: "Wait a minute, I'm going to make a phone call."
Su Wan went to the side and made a phone call to Gu Chu. When Su Wan mentioned the 'smart learning machine', Gu Chu told her everything.
After hanging up the phone, Su Wan looked at Shen Baiyan with a serious expression. Shen Baiyan poured her a glass of milk and placed it in front of her: "Drink some to soothe your throat."
Thinking of Shen Baiyan's words and Gu Chu's secret of rebirth, Su Wan lied to avoid exposing Gu Chu, saying, "Shen Baiyan, I know about that matter. I came to find you because Jiang Jinyu said he gave the business to you. I was afraid you would suffer losses. However, it's fortunate that you didn't take over that business!"
Hearing this, Shen Baiyan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Su Wan truthfully said, "That business is a trap. If you do that business, a murder will soon occur at a school because of your company's learning machine. After the murder, many parents will complain to the Education Bureau, the director of the Education Bureau will be suspended from his duties and investigated, and eventually go to jail for embezzlement. Shen's will also be implicated in this matter, and the stock will definitely fall."
