"I won't beat around the bush, I'll just tell you why I'm here. Could I borrow your company's files from four years ago?"
After Su Li finished speaking, she watched as the smile on President Chen's face gradually disappeared.
“Su Li, logically speaking, you used to work for the Su Group, so I shouldn’t refuse you. However, company files are only accessible to internal personnel, and you’re not with our company, so…”
“I know, but I only look at the files from four years ago when you first took over this place. I won’t touch anything else.”
Mr. Chen looked reluctant.
Su Li knew what he was thinking and repeatedly assured him, "I just want to see how the Su family was doing back then. It won't affect the Chen family. Please believe me."
"Actually, it's not difficult, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What?"
Mr. Chen stroked his chin and said seriously, "Our company happens to have a small project recently that is somewhat related to the Quan family. Could you help introduce us when you go back?"
He invited Su Li upstairs because he knew that Su Li was now Quan Ye's secretary.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have let her come up.
Su Li knew this, and since this matter was being resolved for Quan Ye, it was only natural.
"Okay, I'll talk to Master Quan about it later."
"That's great!"
Mr. Chen slapped his thigh and immediately called his assistant in with great joy.
"Go and retrieve the files from the archives and show them to Miss Su until she is satisfied."
"OK."
Su Li's expression darkened slightly. She should have brought Quan Ye along; this President Chen would have had to grovel before him.
She spent a day at Chen's Enterprise, going through almost all the documents and then making notes on the important ones.
Meng Sangsang called to invite her out for dinner, and she finally stopped working.
Su Li arrived at the restaurant and saw her sitting alone, drinking.
"You called me here just to drink this stuff?"
Su Li pointed to the red wine in her glass.
Meng Sangsang glanced at her, shook her glass, and said, "This isn't wine, it's my cold medicine."
"Sister, why are you drinking cold medicine like water? Are you sure you're not out of your mind?"
"Oh, don't even mention it. I haven't been in a good mood these past two days and I also caught a cold. I couldn't stand staying at home for two days, so I asked you to come out."
The waiter came over to serve the dishes, all of which were Su Li's favorites.
She opened the bowls and chopsticks to eat, saying, "Tell me what's bothering you. I can be your confidante today."
Meng Sangsang looked around, then moved closer to her.
Su Li waited for her to speak, but after a long time, she remained silent.
"Never mind, I won't say anymore." Meng Sangsang waved her hand.
"Fine, I won't say. As long as you can sleep tonight."
"Oh, my best friend understands me best."
Meng Sangsang rubbed her hair, propped her head up with one hand, and said with a look of utter despair, "My dad cheated on me."
"oh."
Su Li was drinking the soup when she realized what was happening, and she spat out a mouthful of soup.
Caught in the crossfire, Meng Sangsang said sullenly, "Darling, is there something wrong with you today?"
Su Li quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe the back of her hand. "Sorry, your joke went a bit too far. I was shocked."
"This is no joke, and the person he cheated with was Song Wan's mother! I wouldn't be this angry if it were anyone else. Ugh, I mean, cheating is just not good."
Even Meng Sangsang herself was confused.
After her initial surprise, Su Li calmed down and said, "I guessed it when I saw them together at the mall last time."
"Then why didn't you tell me!" Meng Sangsang became agitated.
“That’s your own father. Do you think I’d tell you he cheated on you right there and then? I don’t have any proof.”
"Sigh, but this time I caught them red-handed. You have no idea how I've been living at home these past few days. Every time I see my mom, I feel sorry for my mom. My dad is such a good husband to her on the surface, but he's been cheating on her with other women behind her back. But I can't tell her these things, she wouldn't be able to handle it."
