Yuan Shu couldn’t help but size up Lin Xi.

Not to mention that this project had just started and had just gone through the most difficult period, it was the most important project in the company now. s.h.i.+ Xiao had always been cautious and suspicious, so why would he agree to hand this project to Lin Xi?

However, this wasn’t important. The most important thing was that Yuan Shu had a bad feeling.

According to the plot in the book, Yuan Shu had leaked secrets, causing the s.h.i.+ Corporation to suffer heavy losses and Yuan Shu was even sent to prison for half a month.

However, Yuan Shu had never come into contact with the s.h.i.+ Corporation’s other projects. If this incident was inevitable, the problem could only be with this project.

Now that Lin Xi suddenly took over the project, it was quite suspicious.

Yuan Shu didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she observed the expression on Lin Xi’s face carefully in hopes of seeing some clues. However, Lin Xi’s expression didn’t reveal any flaws. Her smile was extremely proper. Even her initial provocation and complacency had been hidden extremely well.

Yuan Shu couldn’t help but ponder. Having such perfect control over her expression and mannerisms was impossible without a few years of experience.

According to what s.h.i.+ Xiao said, Lin Xi was only a young lady who was kidnapped and sold to Africa. After saving s.h.i.+ Xiao, she was brought back to the country by s.h.i.+ Xiao. After that, she had been resting at home. Since she was a mute girl who had no chance of interacting with society, where did her maturity and powerful self-control come from?

This alarmed Yuan Shu. It seemed like Lin Xi wasn’t easy to deal with, so she couldn’t let her guard down.

After their eyes met for a moment, Yuan Shu smiled and said, “Miss Lin, this project is very big, so I won’t be able to organize it for you immediately. You can go back to the office first. When I’m done, I’ll get someone to send it to your office. As for President s.h.i.+, I’ll explain the handover process of this project to him.”

When Yuan Shu mentioned s.h.i.+ Xiao, Lin Xi didn’t show any reaction. It was clear that s.h.i.+ Xiao already knew about this matter.

Lin Xi smiled even more sweetly, but there was no emotion in her eyes. “Okay, then I’ll wait for you upstairs.”

After Lin Xi left, Yuan Shu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. In the short ten minutes the two of them communicated, Lin Xi’s changes were extremely great. At the start, she was complacent and provocative, then later on, she revealed an amiable att.i.tude, and in the end, she revealed a fake smile.

Her demeanor had changed so much, but she had grasped it just right. If not because she had a certain amount of talent in terms of interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps, it must be because she had been professionally trained.

Yuan Shu was getting more and more annoyed. The world in this book was completely chaotic and the characters didn’t adhere to the setting at all, but the plot didn’t change at all.

Yuan Shu wasn’t in a hurry to organize the doc.u.ments. Instead, she called s.h.i.+ Xiao first to ask if he really entrusted this project to Lin Xi.

After hearing this, s.h.i.+ Xiao paused for a moment before replying in a calm tone, “I did.”

Even though Yuan Shu was curious about the reason s.h.i.+ Xiao agreed to Lin Xi’s request, after their divorce, Yuan Shu didn’t have the right to ask about s.h.i.+ Xiao’s private matters at all.

Yuan Shu thought that perhaps s.h.i.+ Xiao had his own considerations. She was just an employee, so all she had to do was obey orders.

After Yuan Shu tidied up the doc.u.ment and checked it a few times to make sure that she didn’t make any mistakes, she handed it to Cheng Cheng and had Cheng Cheng send it to Lin Xi’s office.

After Cheng Cheng left the office, Yuan Shu began to think about the current situation again. Originally, she stayed in the s.h.i.+ Corporation because of this project. Now that the project had been handed over, she felt that there was no need to stay here anymore. After all, if she stayed in the s.h.i.+ Corporation, she would be an open target for the hidden enemy. Yuan Shu felt as if she was being led by the nose.

This feeling wasn’t good. Yuan Shu hated being controlled the most, so she had to strike first. The first step was to leave the s.h.i.+ Corporation.

As for what kind of actions Lin Xi would take after she left, that was unknown.

However, before leaving, Yuan Shu had to make some arrangements.

First of all, she had to arrange things for s.h.i.+ Bin. If he stayed in the s.h.i.+ Corporation, sooner or later, s.h.i.+ Bin would return to being a slacker.

Secondly, she needed to leave a spy in the s.h.i.+ Corporation to keep track of the s.h.i.+ Corporation’s movements.

However, who was suitable for this role?
