Chapter 41 Calm and Tranquil



Song Mai didn't want to speculate maliciously. As she turned on the computer on her desk, she said:

"Alright, even if she has a hickey on her neck, it doesn't necessarily mean it's Fang Yu's. Maybe she already has a boyfriend? She just hasn't told everyone yet."

Lin Ran, however, looked very confident.

"Impossible. I'm quite talented at gossip. I think things aren't simple."

Lin Ran had already guessed the general idea in her mind.

Why was Zheng Yao so certain that the company wouldn't fire her? And why did Fang Yu's wife come to the company so soon after she stayed on?

Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

Meanwhile, on the top floor of Yunxing Group.

After finishing an important meeting, the man pushed open the office door, where a thin stack of documents was already on the table.

Chu Xing sat down at his desk and began browsing the documents on it.

This is Liu Weiqiang's information. He was the one who investigated Chu Xing before, and Assistant Lu also investigated him in reverse.

However, nothing was found out, so Chu Xing didn't take it to heart.

After what happened yesterday, Chu Xing felt even more strongly that Song Mai was in a difficult situation, and he also felt it was necessary to learn more about the people around her.

After being assigned to investigate Liu Weiqiang's affairs, Assistant Lu learned more or less about how Song Mai was sold to Liu Weiqiang by the Song family in exchange for a bride price, and couldn't help but complain from the side.

"Are these really their biological parents? I never thought parents would sell their daughter to such scum for 500,000 yuan!"

Assistant Lu didn't have much of an impression of Song Mai and didn't know much about her, only that she was Chu Xing's whirlwind marriage partner. But after learning about these things, he began to feel sorry for her.

He was a pitiful person too.

Chu Xing casually put the documents into the shredder, a hint of displeasure creeping into his brow.

"Keep a close eye on him and tell me his every move immediately."

"yes."

After agreeing, Assistant Lu did not leave immediately, but instead glanced at Chu Xing with a smile.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but it seemed that the CEO was becoming increasingly concerned about his whirlwind marriage partner.

He asked somewhat cautiously, "How have you been staying with her lately?"

"fine."

"Did you and her... develop feelings for each other?"

Assistant Lu looked quite gossipy.

The man suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes slowly looking at Assistant Lu.

Assistant Lu's back stiffened instantly, as if he had been struck.

"You're getting worse and worse. If you don't want to work here, you can get out."

Assistant Lu quickly gestured for silence and hurried out of the office.

Just as he was closing the door, the man suddenly said something else:

"Check which hospital they went to, and make sure they have more time to recover."

"yes."

The following period was remarkably peaceful for Song Mai; it was the most tranquil time she had experienced since her marriage.

Zheng Yao was unusually well-behaved for a while and didn't cause any more trouble. Her mother and sister-in-law hadn't appeared since they left last time, and hadn't even sent her any messages.

Liu Weiqiang seemed to have vanished into thin air. Perhaps he was still frightened by Chu Xing's skills last time, as he neither went to cause trouble for Chu Xing nor came to find her.

Song Mai goes to work every day, cooks, and occasionally goes out to eat with Lin Ran. Her life seems to be on track, which makes her feel very comfortable.

On Friday afternoon, Fang Yu suddenly called Song Mai to his office.

Do you have any plans for the next couple of days?

"I plan to come over and work overtime on Saturday. There's a project that's coming to an end, and I don't have any other plans."

Fang Yu nodded and checked the time: "I might need you to go on a business trip. Is that convenient for you?"

Song Mai's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"how long?"

"It will take about three days. We're going to Ningcheng for a very important meeting that will last three days. We need someone with sufficient experience and professional adaptability to attend. Please consider it."

“But the projects I have on hand…” Song Mai hesitated.

She's been in charge of this project from the beginning until now, and she's been the one liaising with everyone on the project team. Now that it's coming to an end, there's no reason to suddenly switch to someone else.

Moreover, since no one else understands the situation and is unable to take over, changing personnel is ultimately an extremely irresponsible act for the partner company.

If things end perfectly, that's fine, but if someone else takes over and something goes wrong, it will cause a lot of losses for the company.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "When is the final wrap-up time?"

"There's a final debriefing meeting to be held next Wednesday. I've already compiled all the preliminary work materials and handed them over to the project team. Now I'm preparing the materials for the debriefing meeting."

"You'll make it. The meeting is in the next couple of days, and you can come back after Monday. But you might be a bit busy. After the meeting, you'll need to prepare for the debriefing meeting as soon as possible, and you need to make sure that everything from the meeting is completely handled during the meeting. Of course, I'll try to negotiate with the company to get you a bonus in addition to triple pay and overtime pay."

Song Mai wasn't originally that keen on going; she had a lot of projects on her hands.

These past two months have been the busiest time for the company. She just finished one project and now has another one to finish. She is a meticulous and conscientious person, so even if there is triple pay, she needs to consider it on the premise of completing the work with high quality and quantity.

But when she heard that there would be an additional bonus on top of what she already had, she no longer hesitated.

"Okay, I'll go. When do we leave?"

"The meeting starts at nine o'clock tomorrow morning tonight. Time is tight. You can go and prepare now, or go home and pack your personal belongings."

Song Mai originally wanted to go back and pack some clothes, but she lived far away, and it would take almost three hours to go back and forth. So she thought about it and decided to bring the formal wear from the dressing room. She also borrowed a formal wear from Lin Ran, and with the clothes she was wearing, it was barely enough.

A short while later, Fang Yu handed a stack of meeting materials to Song Mai.

After finishing part of the work for the project's closing summary meeting, Song Mai copied the materials Fang Yu had given her onto a USB drive and then went to the changing room.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yao at the front desk was secretly observing her every move.

Seeing Song Mai leave her workstation, she casually walked past Song Mai's workstation with her water cup and poured herself a glass of water.

On his way back, he casually bumped into Song Mai's table corner.

Some water spilled from the cup, splashing a few drops onto Songmai's table.

She looked kind and quickly wiped the water off the table with her hand.

Lin Ran watched her actions from the side and warned, "Don't touch her things."
