Shi Xu took out his phone and said, "I'll talk to your director and tell you to rest well at home for the next three days."
Shi Xi did not reject Shi Xu's concern; she had originally wanted to rest at home more.
"Just let me rest for a day," Shi Xi said, raising her hand. "I'll go back to the film set tomorrow."
Shi Xu ignored her and made a phone call to inform the director that Shi Xi would be resting at home for three days.
The director on the other end of the phone was pointing fingers at Shi Xi, but he was obsequious in front of the big boss, Shi Xu.
Shi Xi cursed the director as a two-faced person in her heart.
snort!
After breakfast, Shi's father and Shi Xu went to work.
Shi's mother originally wanted to accompany Shi Xi, but she had already made plans to go to an exhibition, so she had to leave Shi Xi alone at home.
Shi Xi was enjoying a leisurely life feeding the fish at home, but not long after, Tao Yuxuan came to visit.
"Your aunt said you were sick and asked me to come and keep you company." Tao Yuxuan asked, "Why are you sick?"
Shi Xi said lazily, "It's nothing, just a minor cold."
Unexpectedly, Shi's mother would send Tao Yuxuan to keep her company.
Maybe he was worried she'd be bored at home alone.
Tao Yuxuan brought some lychees over. Shi Xi wanted to eat more, but thinking about her throat, she only ate two and didn't eat any more.
"By the way, how is Xu Ziqing doing now?" Tao Yuxuan asked.
The previous cases had not led to Xu Ziqing, and the person with the concussion was still unconscious.
Shi Xi sighed, "I heard that he went to the group today to take up the position of deputy chief financial officer."
Tao Yuxuan: "That's a highly sought-after position."
No matter what company you work for, the finance-related departments are always the most lucrative.
Tao Yuxuan blinked, a plan forming in her mind, and she whispered, "How about this, we..."
When Tao Yuxuan shared her idea with Shi Xi, Shi Xi immediately rejected it.
“By doing this, you can’t frame her at all. When it comes to financial issues, the first person to be held accountable is the CFO. You might even help her get the CFO removed. That way, Xu Ziqing might get promoted smoothly.” Shi Xi disagreed with Tao Yuxuan’s tampering and said, “Xu Ziqing is quite capable in finance. Don’t mess around.”
Tao Yuxuan was furious. "That woman is truly despicable!"
Shi Xi: "Don't worry, since she did something bad, there must be clues. Let's find out who it is. Be careful lately, and don't let anyone hurt you."
"Don't worry, my dad hired a bodyguard for me. He's a retired soldier, protecting my safety 24/7. I'll be fine," Tao Yuxuan said with complete peace of mind.
Shi Xi looked around.
Tao Yuxuan ate a lychee and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Shi Xi: "Didn't you say you'd be protected 24/7? Why didn't you come in?"
Tao Yuxuan: "What danger could there be coming here? I'll just have him wait in the car."
Shi Xi: ...
At noon, the kitchen prepared a light meal specially for Shi Xi, a patient, and a meal specially for Tao Yuxuan, a pregnant woman.
Seeing these two kinds of meals, Shi Xi whispered to Tao Yuxuan, "Are you and my brother still acting?"
Tao Yuxuan said helplessly, "Isn't it because we haven't found a suitable opportunity to confess?"
Tao Yuxuan lied to Xu Ziqing, saying she was pregnant. After the truth reached Grandpa's ears, the entire Shi family knew about it.
Shi's parents were already satisfied with Tao Yuxuan, and now they were even more satisfied. They even blamed Shi Xu, asking him why he hadn't brought Tao Yuxuan home to see sooner.
