Ming Shu and Shen Yuanzhao came out of the elevator at the same time.

Nan Youyou was very surprised to run into this scene. She gave several glances to Ming Shu, then said to She Yuanzhao, “Boss Shen, these documents need your signature.”

“Go to Secretary Zhou.” Shen Yuanzhao seemed a bit unhappy and his tone was cold.

Then he strode into the office.

Nan Youyou looked at Ming Shu and asked suspiciously, “Why are you taking the elevator with him?”

Ming Shu smiled. “Why don’t you go ask him?”

Nan Youyou warned Ming Shu, “I advise you not to have other thoughts.”

Shen Yuanzhao could only be hers.

“What if I do, are you gonna cut open my brain and check? Killing people is illegal.”

Nan Youyou got quite annoyed, but then she sneered, “I thought there’s a real sistership between you and Jiang Duo, but it turned out to be false. You only wanted to use her to get close to Boss Shen.”

“Boss Shen? What’s the use of him? How many snacks can he get me?” I’m not very interested in creatures that are talkative but not edible.

Well, of course, if the creature could offer her snacks, she would care a bit.

Nan Youyou: “…”

Jiang Duo behind her: “…”

“Ruan Li, behave yourself.” Nan Youyou left angrily, twisting her slim waist.

Jiang Duo popped out from behind her and didn’t seem to care about what Nan Youyou had said. “Xiao Li, what’s going on between you and Nan Youyou?”

Ming Shu was also unsurprised by the sudden appearance of Jiang Duo. She pushed her bangs aside. “Nothing, just some provocative small talk.”

“Why?” Jiang Duo questioned. “I heard that her family is very rich, and she and Boss Shen are childhood sweethearts.”

You dare to provoke her…

Ming Shu smiled. Of course, it’s for my Hatred Points.

“Have you ever seen Boss Shen care about her, then?”

Jiang Duo pondered for a while. “I saw them in the same car, and they had dinner together.”

Ming Shu: “…” Has it progressed so much in the female protagonist’s perspective?

No wonder Jiang Duo was not interested in Shen Yuanzhao.

…

Before getting off work, Ming Shu leaned on her desk and thought about what to have for dinner.

A sudden roar came from next to her and interrupted her thinking.

“Jiang Duo, I told you to send the documents, why haven’t you sent them?”

The woman who’d handed the documents to Jiang Duo earlier came over furiously. She just got a phone asking for the undelivered documents.

Jiang Duo gave a vacant look to Ming Shu. Shouldn’t the documents have been sent already?

“Jiang Duo, if business gets delayed, can you afford to take responsibility?” The woman was still yelling.

“I…”

“You what? Where are the documents? Send them right now! Are you waiting for me to lead the way?”

“So noisy.” Ming Shu looked up.

The woman immediately shouted at Ming Shu, “I’m talking to Jiang Duo, is it your turn to talk?!”

Ming Shu yawned, and her eyebrows curved into good-looking arcs. “I want to tell you that, your documents… I accidentally threw them into the trash can. If you go check right now, maybe you can find them.”

“What?” The woman’s voice raised in pitch. “Do you know those documents are very important?”

“I don’t know.” Ming Shu smiled and answered casually, “I’m just an intern. Why do I need to know this?”

The woman: “…”

She seemed to recall something and a chill ran down her back. “Where did you throw them?”

“Ah, let me think.” Ming Shu pondered. “Sorry, I can’t remember.”

“Go find them!” The woman reached out and tried to push Ming Shu. “You’ll be dead if you can’t get them back today.”

Ming Shu easily avoided the woman’s “claws” and supported herself on the desk. “Well, even if I get them back, you’ll still have to redo them. So there’s no need to bother. You left many loopholes in the documents; if they were handed over, you might be dead now. In other words, you need to thank me for saving your reputation.”

The woman blushed. “What are you talking about?”

This intern…

How did she know so much?

“What am I talking about? Don’t you know?” Ming Shu pointed at the clock with her chin. “There’s only half an hour before we get off work. They told me that the documents must be submitted by the end of the day. Just tell me, is this matter gonna be your responsibility or mine? I’m just an intern, what about you?”

If the documents were handed over, the woman could shirk her responsibility.

But now the problem was that the documents hadn’t been handed over.

“What are you doing over there?” A thin and tall man in glasses looked to them unhappily.

“Secretary Zhou.” The woman seemed to have seen her savior and immediately complained, “Secretary Zhou, today I gave some documents to Jiang Duo and asked her to hand them over to the marketing department. But I don’t know why Ruan Li lost the documents. And now she’s trying to shirk responsibility.”

Secretary Zhou pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “Why did you ask Jiang Duo to help you with your work?”

“I… I saw she wasn’t busy, so I just let her run the errands. Who knew she couldn’t even handle such a small task.” The woman looked somewhat guilty.

Bullying interns in the office was not uncommon; she didn’t feel there was anything wrong. But facing the Secretary Zhou of Shen Yuanzhao, she felt a bit fearful.

“You know Boss Shen has rules. Every employee has their own duty. How much you’re paid is equal to how much you need to do. The intern has an intern’s job, not just running errands for you. Besides, is the intern’s salary higher than yours? Or are you willing to give your salary to them as subsidies? Or, do you want them to replace you?” Secretary Zhou’s voice was not loud, but no one dared to question him.

Especially that last sentence. It was even more frightening.

The woman was a bit dumb. When did Boss Shen make this rule?

But suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, and gave a hateful glare at Jiang Duo. It must be because of this bitch.

She wanted to frame Jiang Duo. Who knew that she would not only fail, but get herself trapped instead.

“What are you still standing there for? Go back to your own work.”

Nobody dared to say anything. The woman glared at Jiang Duo and Ming Shu before returning to her own seat and starting to redo the documents.

Secretary Zhou rubbed his eyes and then turned around and went into Shen Yuanzhao’s office.

“Boss Shen, it’s settled.”

“That Ruan Li, how was her performance before?” Shen Yuanzhao suddenly asked.

Today in the elevator, she spoke directly to him about the problem documents.

That plus what she did last night, and Shen Yuanzhao began to form an impression of her.

“Well, she was quite good, probably the best among the interns. I checked her information. She is not from this city. She graduated from Hengxing University with excellent grades and was a representative student of that year.”

“Hengxing University?” Shen Yuanzhao looked up slightly.

“Right, it’s that aristocratic university that’s even famous abroad. Ordinary families can’t afford it. For specific information, I have to go to her registered residence to check.”

Shen Yuanzhao pondered for a moment. “Do some investigation.”

An excellent person quietly appeared in his company. This was not a good thing.

“Boss Shen, she didn’t hide anything, though. If there were any plans, she would have used a false identity. But at the interview, she did answer that she came to work in this city because of her relatives here.”

“Just to confirm.” Shen Yuanzhao insisted.

In the industry, caution was the parent of safety.
