So although he remained firmly in first place, he gradually disappeared from people's sight, and Li Ci remained in second place.
Sometimes he wondered who would win in a head-on confrontation between him and Li Ci, but he never had the chance until he met Shang Xian and finally understood!
It turns out that Li Ci wasn't planning to wait for an opportunity to act, but rather because he had Shang Xian, an interesting girl, by his side, he simply didn't care about work!
Shang Xian said that Li Ci was tricked by his father into taking over the company. His father said that as long as he didn't ruin the company, he could do whatever he wanted.
Shenyi was indeed envious of this.
"[CEO? CEO!]" Shang Xian called him several times, but Shen Yi didn't respond, as he was still immersed in his memories.
Shang Xian smacked her lips. "Well then, Mr. CEO, I'm going to sleep now. You should get some rest too."
Shen Yi gave a soft hum and continued thinking about his own things.
Shang Xian, of course, had no idea what Shen Yi was thinking at this moment, and lay down peacefully.
She wasn't bothered at all by the mess that had happened these past few days. She was clear-headed; it was just a task, not her life, and there was no need to make things difficult for herself.
A good night's sleep —
The next morning, dusk came to wake her up, completely shattering her good mood from the night before.
Knowing that Shangxian was in a bad mood that morning, Mushi cautiously said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's nanny has arrived."
Shang Xian was furious because a nanny had disturbed her sleep.
Her upbringing told her to stay calm: "What is it?"
Dusk swallowed hard, then made up her mind and said, "It seems they want you to see the Empress Dowager..."
Shang Xian took a deep breath, trying his best not to swear.
She forced a smile: "Okay."
After Mushi helped Shangxian change her clothes and do her makeup, she went out.
I recognized that old nanny, Shang Xian; I had seen her when I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.
The "Empress" nanny smiled and curtsied to Shang Xian.
Shang Xian nodded and responded with a smile.
"What brings you here so early, Granny?"
"The Empress Dowager wishes to see you and has sent this old servant to invite her."
She spoke with tact, and Shang Xian couldn't quite understand what she meant, but she was definitely not up to anything good.
It's not uncommon for "nannies to lead the way" to involve mutual flattery in business dealings.
Shangxian followed the nanny all the way to Cining Palace.
The moment she saw the Empress Dowager, she knew something was wrong and sensed something was amiss.
"Mother," Shang Xian called out with a light laugh.
The Empress Dowager responded with a faint smile. She always felt that the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her was different from before. Shang Xian thought about it again and realized that it was true. She had no backing now. Ning Renqing was no longer the Right Chancellor. In their eyes, she was just an Empress. There was no one for her to rely on. In their view, she could only rely on Dugu Qianchen's favor.
Ha, as expected, women without a background are only looked down upon.
"Is there something you need, Mother?" Shang Xian asked directly.
The Empress Dowager paused, her hand stroking the cat, not expecting Shang Xian to be so direct.
"Jiu'er, your mother remembers that you didn't actually want to enter the palace, right?" the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
Shang Xian scoffed inwardly. What did she think it was? The Empress Dowager had already brought it up so openly. How could she not know what this old hag was going to say? They were both cunning foxes. What were you trying to tell me?
But since you want to play, I'll play with you.
"Mother, now that I've entered the palace, I'm one of its members. Let those who are unwilling remain in the past."
