Chapter 107: A Thousand Gold Tossed for Her

President Fu asked me to come over and ask Miss Xi to go up; President Luo of Yunsheng Studio has arrived, and the cooperation between the two firms also needs you to bear witness.

Lu Xiwán looked at Shen Shu with puzzlement upon hearing that, and found no flaw on his face.

That was enough to show he wasn't lying.

Lu Xiwán, full of questions, followed Shen Shu out.

Just as she stepped out, she was stopped by the dark‑faced Yun Ruojin.

"Assistant Shen, coming to me for people early in the morning? You didn't even tell me a word."

It sounded like she was joking with Lu Xiwán, but Yun Ruojin's gaze remained a resentful, poisonous stare on Lu Xiwán.

The snake‑like look made Lu Xiwán extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Shu slightly frowned and avoided Yun Ruojin's scrutinizing gaze.

"President Fu asked me to invite Miss Xi to go up, and I've already reported to Director Xie," Shen Shu deftly deflected Yun Ruojin's questioning.

Yun Ruojin, however, persisted and kept pressing Shen Shu.

"Then I'll go with her, so she doesn't clumsily disturb A Jue's work."

Now Lu Xiwán was the one who was displeased.

If she wants to follow, just say so; otherwise she'll be the one taking the blame.

"Sorry, Vice Director Yun, I'll ask you when I need you, but today President Fu only invited Miss Xi."

Shen Shu had originally given Yun Ruojin enough face, but she herself insisted on tearing off the last layer of the veil.

No wonder Shen Shu took the matter to the extreme.

Yun Ruojin forced a dry laugh to mask her awkwardness, "You know Director Xie never handles matters; I'm now the main person in charge of the Design Department."

"Matters related to FW are my duty to oversee."

"Xi Wan is still a newcomer, knows nothing; this is against the rules."

To save face, Yun Ruojin babbled on and listed a bunch of reasons.

Hearing these reasons, Lu Xiwán wanted to laugh.

She is new, but isn't Yun Ruojin also only here for a short time?

She's been wielding authority for a few days thanks to her position, truly putting herself on a high pedestal.

Shen Shu still spoke respectfully, though a bit impatient, "Vice Director Yun, Director Xie didn't even summon anyone to today's meeting; you indeed have a duty to oversee FW matters, but today you have no authority to intervene."

"Miss Xi is specifically required by President Fu to attend; if you have objections, go directly to President Fu."

Having said that, he immediately left with Lu Xiwán.

He completely ignored the trembling, angry Yun Ruojin.

"No way, is Assistant Shen saying that because he knows something?"

"Could it be that what we saw this morning was all fake?"

"Vice Director Yun is so pitiful; her family is so wealthy, she came back to the country especially to chase President Fu, and it turned out like this..."

From Yun Ruojin's spot, she could clearly hear the murmurs of others in the office.

Yun Ruojin clenched her fingers, not even noticing the pain of her nails piercing her palm.

She wished she could devour Lu Xiwán alive, her facial muscles already tensing in secret.

Sensing others' stares, Yun Ruojin quickly put on a smile, pretending to be completely unfazed in front of them.

"Stop speculating; A Jue asked Xi Wan for a reason related to work."

"You all quickly decide where to eat tonight!"

"I'll foot the bill for everyone's expenses tonight."

Having received Yun Ruojin's favor, the group dared not say anything else.

Even with lingering doubts, they swallowed them down.

The top floor.
