Unable to get out of bed, Ni Sitian buried her face in his arms, pretending not to see the servants' suppressed laughter.
Xu Tingchuan carried Ni Sitian upstairs to the bedroom, put her on the bed, and then went into the bathroom to wring out a hot towel.
Just as Ni Sitian was about to ask him how things were going, she saw him squat down, place her feet on his knees, and wipe her feet with a hot towel.
She was so embarrassed that she tried to pull her foot back, but he firmly held it down.
"Don't run around barefoot next time," Xu Tingchuan said, gently wiping her feet and glancing at her with a slightly reproachful look.
"Oh, I understand," Ni Sitian replied obediently, then immediately asked, "How did things go?"
After wiping her feet, Xu Tingchuan didn't answer, turned around, and took a towel to the bathroom.
After a while, he still hadn't come out of the bathroom. Ni Sitian was extremely anxious. She put on her slippers and went to the bathroom, opening the door directly. "What exactly happened...?"
She stopped speaking, staring blankly at the scene before her. After 0.01 seconds, she screamed, slammed the door shut, covered her eyes, and ran away.
Xu Tingchuan was startled by her. After regaining his senses, he pulled up his pants, washed his hands, and went outside.
He saw that Ni Sitian had her face buried in the pillow, and smiled, saying, "You've seen it before, why are you so shy?"
Going to the toilet and... well, they're not the same thing!
Ni Sitian felt incredibly embarrassed; she had actually knocked on the door and barged in like that.
"I didn't mind, so why should you, who was peeping, mind?" Xu Tingchuan pulled her out of the pillow, looked at her red cheeks, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Who was peeking! I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!" Ni Sitian emphasized twice.
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and reached out to pat her head.
Ni Sitian quickly stepped back, looking at his hand with a strange expression.
Xu Tingchuan understood what she was thinking and said with a sullen smile, "I've already washed."
"Oh." Ni Sitian was embarrassed, but she immediately remembered the important matter and asked repeatedly, "How exactly did things go?"
"The accident investigation will take a few more days. The families have been appeased for now, and the seriously injured employees are out of danger. We're also handling the crisis with the media. Now we're just waiting for the investigation report." Xu Tingchuan patted her head and gave her a reassuring smile: "It's okay, we can handle this."
Hearing him speak so methodically, Ni Sitian breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety she had been feeling eased somewhat.
It turns out that the online reports of two more deaths were a hoax used to manipulate public opinion.
Thinking of this, she immediately told Xu Tingchuan about it.
Xu Tingchuan didn't react much after hearing this, so she said urgently, "It's certain that someone has hired online trolls to attack M&K."
"Yes, I know. Assistant Yu had already thought of these things when he called me." Xu Tingchuan didn't even need to look to know the gist of it. Over the years, he had developed too fast and had affected the interests of some people. Now that they had the opportunity, how could they not take the chance to kick him when he was down?
When Ni Sitian saw that Xu Tingchuan was so calm and collected in the face of such a situation, she immediately thought of what Jia Yue had said to him.
Although she didn't understand the hardships involved, judging from his current calm demeanor, what he had experienced was probably a hundred or a thousand times more perilous and difficult.
