Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

“Miss Mei Shu, hello.” The leading woman stood up and shook hands with her, gesturing for someone to vacate a seat for her.

Mei Shu returned the handshake with a friendly attitude, releasing her hand after a brief touch, then took a seat. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com

“Miss Mei Shu, we are currently conducting a detailed investigation into whether your company is engaged in tax evasion. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to cooperate with us. We have a few simple questions for you, please answer truthfully.”

The staff member took out a recording pen and placed it openly on the table.

Mei Shu smiled and replied, “Please, go ahead.”

The questioning process lasted for a full hour. When Mei Shu and the government officials came out of the conference room, it was already dark outside.

Liu Xin, the leader of this inspection team, was satisfied with Mei Shu’s cooperation today. As they were leaving, she shook hands with Mei Shu again.

“Miss Mei Shu, if we need to, we will come to you again. Until next time.”

“Goodbye.” Mei Shu maintained a polite smile until she saw’ them off at the gate.

Jiang Hai immediately stepped forward. “How did it go? Did something go wrong? Is it serious?”

He w’asn’t qualified to attend the meeting just now, but he was worried and had been waiting here.

Mei Shu was surprised that he hadn’t left, but she let him accompany her for the time being. “It’s nothing major. Our company’s accounts have always been fine, so there’s no need to worry too much.”

“That’s good.” Jiang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying this, he noticed Mei Shu’s hesitant gaze and quickly added, “This way, I can also have an explanation to Master Si.”

As he finished speaking, there w’as a moment of silence in the office.

Tang Mei sneakily glanced at him and handed the documents to Mei Shu. “Boss, this is the operational status of the company during your absence. I’ve organized it for you to review.”

“Okay.” Mei Shu nodded, then gestured to the seat opposite her desk. “Please, have a seat.”

Jiang Hai hurriedly declined, “No, I won’t sit. Master Si must be anxious. I’ll go back and report to him.”

Mei Shu didn’t insist on him staying. It w’asn’t until his footsteps disappeared from the office door that she looked up from the documents and called Lu Si.

The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered, Lu Si’s voice sounding tired. “Shu’er, is it done? I’m sorry, I should have handled this matter for you.”

Mei Shu said, “Your situation should be more troublesome than mine. Don’t force yourself. I’m fine here. When can you get off work?”

Lu Si rubbed his temples, his eyes bloodshot. “I’ll need a while longer. 1 can’t leave the company temporarily. I’ll have Jiang Hai send you home later. I just don’t know where he’s gone. I haven’t seen him for half a day.”

Mei Shu paused and said, “No need, take care of yourself. Don’t worry too much about me. Jiang Hai has been with me the whole time. He wanted to make sure 1 safely seen off those government officials before going back. He’s already on his way.”

“He’s been with you the whole time?” Lu Si glanced subtly in the direction of the secretary’s office outside the office, where indeed only Jiang He was leading the team to handle urgent tasks, and Jiang Hai was nowhere to be seen.

“Yes,” Mei Shu said. “We found out a lot during our trip to Wendith. I can’t explain it all over the phone. You can ask Jiang Hai, and he’ll tell you everything. You’re busy now. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll finish reading the documents and head home.”

“Okay, let me know when you’re home safely.” Lu Si hung up after saying this, then stepped out of the office.

Lu Li was frantically busy behind his desk, overwhelmed with tasks. From the corner of his eye, he noticed his brother had finished his call but showed no intention of coming over to offer help. He frowned with worry and frustration, “Alt Si, where are you going? I’m swamped here! Can you come over and see if there are any issues with this contract?”

“See for yourself,” Lu Si ignored him and walked into the secretary’s office.

Jiang He, seeing him approach, thought he had some instructions and quickly put down his work, standing up straight respectfully. “Master Si.”

“Master Si,” the other secretaries all echoed in unison.

Lu Si nodded and asked, “Where’s Jiang Hai?”

Jiang He looked around, then shook his head in confusion, “I don’t know. He came back with me, but 1 didn’t notice when he disappeared. Master Si, do you need him for something? I’ll call him right away.”

A cold frost descended over Lu Si’s face, “Have him come see me immediately.”

“Yes!” Sensing his displeasure, Jiang He didn’t dare to be careless and quickly sent a text message to Jiang Hai.

This was the first time Jiang Hai had actively defied Mr. Si’s wishes and abandoned his duties.

Lu Li saw his brother enter with a serious expression and a mischievous smile crept onto her lips. “What’s wrong? Those people in the meeting just now didn’t seem to anger you, but why are you suddenly upset for no apparent reason?”

Lu Si gave him a cold look and said irritably, “Didn’t you say you’re overwhelmed with work? Why do you have the time to care about other things?”
