Going out
Chen Shuning frowned slightly. "Anonymous?"
This is even more wrong.
Chen Shuning had a bad feeling. No matter which company had issued this outsourcing order, it was enough to prove that there was a mole within the company. Even if they needed to hire someone outside to draw the drawings, they would have to keep it confidential. They couldn't just casually give someone the data and information online and have them draw the drawings.
Xu Xi noticed that something was wrong with Chen Shuning, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Shuning was silent for a few seconds. He didn't intend to tell Xu Xi his inner guess. He simply said, "Nothing. It's just that the drawing you are drawing now was the one I was about to draw when I resigned. Later, I resigned and didn't expect it to be outsourced now."
Xu Xi blinked. "What a coincidence."
"Yeah." Chen Shuning only smiled slightly, but there was a worry in his heart.
If there really was a problem within Mom and Dad's company, then she had to find a way to tell her sister to avoid major losses.
Xu Xi rested for a short while before continuing to draw. Chen Shuning didn't want to disturb Xu Xi, so he told her that he was going out for a walk and would be back soon.
Chen Shuning: "Xixi, I'm going out for a walk."
"Yeah, okay." Xu Xi nodded, thinking that Chen Shuning might be bored sitting here, so it would be nice to go out for a walk.
Chen Shuning walked outside, found a roadside chair to sit on, then took out his cell phone to call his sister Chen Shuyao.
The phone rang for about 20 seconds before it was connected, but the person who answered the phone was not her sister, but her sister-in-law, her brother's wife.
Chen Shuning was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed herself down. Although she didn't know why her sister-in-law was able to answer her sister's call, she still asked, "Sister-in-law, is my sister not here? How did you get her phone?"
"Yeah." The voice on the other end was a little cold. "The company has been busy lately, and she's in a meeting right now. She left her phone in the office."
Chen Shuning hesitated whether to tell her sister-in-law directly. She and her sister-in-law didn't have much interaction, except when her brother and sister-in-law got married. She was still studying at that time, so she went back to attend the wedding, then continued her studies, and finally left home, so she didn't have much contact.
Noticing that she didn't speak, the person on the other end of the phone asked calmly, "What's the matter with you?"
Chen Shuning frowned and suddenly thought of a point in what his sister-in-law had just said: his sister was in a meeting, so why did his sister-in-law go to his sister's office?
Of course, she didn't deny that her sister-in-law could enter her sister's office, but at this time, she just felt that something was wrong. In the end, she just made up an excuse and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask about my business and see if it caused any trouble for you." Then her sister-in-law replied, "You have caused a lot of trouble for the family."
Chen Shuning held the phone in her hands, the call having been disconnected. She wasn't thinking about the so-called troubles, but rather about the impending storm facing the Chen Group. She was suspicious of her sister-in-law entering her office while her sister was away.
She was still a little worried. Chen Shuning wanted to go to her sister's place in person. When she stood up, she glanced at Xu Xi's rental house.
She sent a message to Xu Xi: "Xixi, I remembered that I have something to ask my sister. Give me a call when you're done. We'll go buy food together this afternoon."
Xu Xi received the message and replied with two simple words. "Okay."
Chen Shuning: "Wait for me to come back. Love you."
Xu Xi couldn't help but smile: "I love you too."
Xu Xi felt that her current life was what she wanted, enjoying life with the one she loved and facing all the good things together. She turned her head and glanced at the cup of milk tea on the coffee table that Chen Shuning had drunk most of, and felt that her heart was sweeter than the milk tea.
In the afternoon.
The drawing that Xu Xi was drawing was almost finished. She took out her cell phone to check the time and planned to call Chen Shuning first to ask her to go shopping for groceries together. After cooking and eating, she would finish and check the drawing in the evening.
However, when Xu Xi called, Chen Shuning did not answer, and did not answer until the phone was naturally hung up.
Xu Xi frowned, and a feeling of uneasiness flashed through her heart, but thinking about the way her sister came to the rental house to find her that day, Xu Xi felt that her sister would not do anything to her.
After a short silence, Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and tried to call Chen Shuning again, but still no one answered.
Xu Xi's uneasiness grew even stronger. She had a guess in her mind: if Chen Shuning was with her sister, she would definitely answer her call, because Chen Shuyao knew the relationship between her and Chen Shuning.
Therefore, one possibility for Chen Shuning not answering the phone was that she met other family members when she went to see her sister.
