Newcomer
These past few days of recuperation have been quite luxurious, thanks to Yi Yu's precise feeding, the heartwarming visits from Gao Huixin and others on the 8th floor, and the occasional inquiries from Lin Weiwei and others on the 66th floor.
The system watched its host watching a show with his legs crossed and felt that its host's already existing arrogance was expanding at a visible speed.
Yesterday, Gao Huixin privately sent me a list that included several insiders who were involved in planning or indirectly facilitated the brawl.
Qu Shiyao's actions, which involved the system secretly using some underhanded tactics to expedite Gao Huixin's investigation, were partly due to this.
Qu Shiyao glanced at the list, then casually packed it up and sent it to the police officer in charge of the case.
They were extremely efficient; I heard they were invited in for questioning one after another that same day.
Even Si Cheng was helpless in this regard, since it was indeed his company's employees who caused the trouble.
At the same time, she also received a message from Si Cheng that his personal assistant had returned from a long vacation and was officially back at work.
"It seems the permissions have been upgraded to level 3, the timeline has been automatically repaired, and this missing character has finally returned," the system analyzed, shaking its head.
"Oh, what a pity."
Qu Shiyao munched on the apple that Yi Yu had peeled and placed on her desk, and sighed regretfully, "I wanted to earn a few more days' worth of agency fees!"
Looking back on the month she worked part-time as a personal assistant, she made so much money that she couldn't keep up with the earnings; it was like opening the door to a whole new world. It's a pity that she's lost that source of income now.
Although this service has been discontinued, the group is still active.
Qu Shiyao opened the group chat named "A Loving Family" and posted the latest notification.
[Sister Qu (Your Mother): @All members, my children! Important announcement! Mr. Si's official personal assistant has returned to her post! Effective immediately, all tasks and orders related to Mr. Si are suspended!]
[Sister Qu (Your Mother): This group is currently for general internal communication. If any other revenue-generating opportunities arise, I will notify you immediately!]
[Elder Sister Qu (Your Mother): Furthermore, given that your Second Sister has already been personally expelled from the family genealogy by Chief Si, after careful consideration, I have decided to uphold justice even at the cost of family ties and cleanse the family!]
After sending the message, she tapped her finger and swiftly kicked Sun Mei out of the group chat.
This kind of domineering CEO/toxic fangirl is no longer of any benefit in the group; she only disrupts their "harmony." It's time to kick her out.
Almost the instant Sun Mei was kicked out, news about Jin Yuxi popped up.
[Gold and Silver Jewelry (Big Brother): Mother is wise! You finally dumped her! I heard the police came to the company yesterday and took away a few people, and today there are rumors that Sun Mei was also involved, and she's supposedly been taken in for questioning! (Belatedly discovering the juicy gossip.jpg)]
Qu Shiyao raised an eyebrow. She had guessed that Sun Mei was involved, but she didn't expect her to be exposed so quickly.
It seems that the revolutionary friendship among that group was more fragile than paper, breaking at the slightest touch.
[Rich Woman Arrives (Commoner): Let her die! The important thing now is, I heard some paratrooper is going to be crammed into our garbage dump! Apparently, he's reporting to General Manager Si's office right now? Supposedly, he got in through the back door? (Looks utterly bewildered.jpg)]
Paratroopers? When Qu Shiyao recalled this point, the first person that came to mind was Su Wanwan, the vicious female supporting character in the original novel.
According to the original plot, she was parachuted into the project assistant team when the domineering CEO and the female lead were entangled, and began to bully the female lead in various ways.
Now that the character has more freedom, will this young lady still be the same as before?
[Sister Qu (your mother): Senior Lin, you'd better be careful. It's best if a fight breaks out. (Pats the cat's shoulder meaningfully.jpg)]
[The Rich Woman Arrives (Commoner): ? ? ? Why should I be careful when someone comes? Why are we fighting? Qu Shiyao, do you know something? (Suspicious look in her eyes.jpg)]
Lin Weiwei's intuition told her that this woman was definitely hiding something important.
[Sister Qu (your mother): Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. You have been demoted to a commoner; how could a lowly commoner like you possibly inquire about such important information? (Her noble and aloof demeanor, looking down on the commoner.jpg)]
Qu Shiyao decisively declined; this matter is only interesting if the parties involved witness it firsthand.
It's a pity she's injured now, otherwise I really wanted to see Lin Weiwei perform a battle between a dragon and a tiger on the spot.
Lin Weiwei on the other side of the screen was indeed so angry that her cheeks turned red, and she wished she could strangle Qu Shiyao through the screen.
Are you still playing house at a time like this? Don't you have any common sense?!
Sitting at her workstation, Wang Qian watched Lin Weiwei stomping her feet in anger but too embarrassed to ask her directly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to speak up in the group chat.
[Qiannv Youyou (Little Brother): Shiyao, can't you really reveal who it is? I'm really curious. (Peeking.jpg)]
As soon as the message was sent, Lin Weiwei turned around abruptly and shouted at Wang Qian:
"Xiaoqian! Don't ask her! We'll know when she gets here!"
He finished speaking and gave a heavy snort, trying to save face.
Sitting in the back, Zhang Li couldn't help but burst out laughing at the scene.
That smile instantly ignited Lin Weiwei's powder keg.
"Zhang Li! What are you laughing at?!" she glared angrily, gritting her teeth.
Zhang Li, however, remained completely unfazed, her face still bearing that ambiguous, half-smiling expression:
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that you have a lot of friends outside, Weiwei. What if it's one of your best friends who comes?"
"You're talking nonsense! It's always those bitches who come after me!" Lin Weiwei suddenly stood up, her tone incredibly righteous.
Zhang Li smiled but said nothing, her eyes clearly saying: Don't you know what kind of person you are?
With her arrogant and confrontational personality, Lin Weiwei has probably offended enough people to circle the company three times over.
Jin Yuxi, sitting next to her, was happily munching on a bag of potato chips, watching the everyday palace intrigue drama unfold before her with great interest, inwardly screaming:
Let's fight! If you can fight, don't just talk! We're all best friends! The more we fight, the better our relationship will be!
It's a pity that Qu Shiyao wasn't there. Without that troublemaker who loved to stir up trouble, this gossip just felt a bit soulless.
Thus, an odd four-corner layout was formed in the office:
Lin Weiwei and Zhang Li were locked in a tense standoff, exchanging sharp glances.
Wang Qian looked at Lin Weiwei with a worried expression;
Jin Yuxi leisurely played the role of a bystander.
"Knock knock knock—"
A clear knock on the door broke the tense and strange atmosphere in the office.
The four fell silent instantly, exchanging bewildered glances.
The person knocking on the door at this time is either Assistant Wen, who works for the president, or that legendary parachuted-in executive.
The door was pushed open, and a tall figure strode in.
The four people in the office were instantly stunned.
The newcomer was dressed in a well-tailored high-end suit, and was estimated to be over 1.85 meters tall. He exuded a powerful aura and had a cold and stern face.
He glanced around the office, his voice low and polite: "Excuse me, which workstation is vacant?"
A man?! A man who looks more like a top bodyguard or an elite executive, working as an assistant?
Could it be that CEO Si felt the assistant team was too female and wanted to hire someone with strong yang energy to keep things in check?
Jin Yuxi was the first to react, pointing to the empty seat in front of Wang Qian: "A new colleague? It should be that seat."
The man nodded, thanked him, and then took out his phone to make a call.
In less than two minutes, a group of staff members in uniform filed in and quickly and quietly moved all the empty workstations, along with the desks and chairs!
Immediately afterwards, a brand new set of office furniture, which looked quite expensive, was brought in.
That's not all!
Those people began to wipe it carefully, and then set it up.
Lay out a fine tablecloth embroidered with subtle patterns, place an elegant vase filled with fresh flowers, hang stylish decorative paintings, and even put a small aromatherapy burner on the corner of the table...
The whole process was smooth and seamless, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
After the group of people quietly left, a brand-new, luxurious workstation appeared before the four of them, dazzling them to the point of being blinded.
Jin Yuxi, Lin Weiwei, Zhang Li, and Wang Qian, four poor commoners, involuntarily shrank to a corner of the office, staring dumbfounded at the workstation that seemed to radiate golden light.
"Isn't this style a bit too pink and dreamy?" Jin Yuxi asked in a low voice, her face full of disbelief.
"Could the new assistant actually be a woman? Is this just a preliminary setup?"
Zhang Li's smile almost froze; the scene before her was completely beyond her comprehension.
That table looks like it's made of rosewood? And that painting looks so much like the one she saw in the auction catalog that was priced at tens of millions?
Even if it's a fake, this display is still quite intimidating!
Lin Weiwei felt extremely uncomfortable watching this. Suddenly, she remembered Qu Shiyao's comments in the group chat, and her heart pounded with anxiety. She began frantically trying to recall which hidden tycoon she had offended.
Wang Qian, who had been playing a supporting role throughout, asked a crucial question after a period of silence:
"Is this Mr. Si's assistant's office? Can office facilities be replaced on such a large scale without Mr. Si's permission?"
A single sentence can awaken someone from a dream.
The four fell silent again, a chill running down their spines.
This paratrooper is not only rich, but his relationship with General Manager Si is probably quite extraordinary!
[Gold and Jewelry (Eldest Brother): Mother! Your Majesty! There might be something wrong with my eyes! Why do I see a mountain of gold standing right next to my workstation?!]
Then she posted a photo she had just secretly taken of an office space that exuded an air of wealth.
Qu Shiyao opened the photo, the system scanned it closely, and then both of them fell silent.
After a long pause, the system said quietly: [Host, isn't the Su family's eldest daughter's sense of ritual about going to work a bit too exaggerated?]
Qu Shiyao looked at the obviously valuable decorations in the photo, especially after the system scan indicated that the painting was likely genuine. She stroked her chin, thinking very seriously:
"Tongzi, if I sneak into the office in the middle of the night and... well, keep these things safe for now, no one should notice, right?"
