Xiao Zhao came to visit Shi Che at the old house again, and by then Shi Che had mostly recovered. After all, he was young and robust—just a few days earlier, he had been lying weakly in bed, but today he seemed to be in quite good spirits.
Xiao Zhao laid a pile of urgent documents that had accumulated over the past few days on the desk, and said to Shi Che, "President Shi, I have already reviewed these documents once, and there generally seems to be no problem. You don’t need to worry too much, just signing will be sufficient."
Shi Che nodded, but still flipped through each document before picking up the fountain pen, breaking off the cap, and signing his name.
After signing, Xiao Zhao organized the documents and held them in front of him. He looked at Shi Che’s complexion. Although he had regained some spirit, he had still been ill for several days. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "President Shi, everything at the company is currently running smoothly. You can rest for a few more days and return to the office only after you’ve fully recovered."
Shi Che put the cap back on the fountain pen and set it aside, his dark eyes deepening. Then he looked up, his thin lips parting slightly, "I won’t be returning to the company for a while."
Considering Shi Che’s workaholic nature, Xiao Zhao had been worried that he would head straight back to work before he had fully recovered. He hadn’t expected Shi Che to make such a statement, so it took a moment for him to process it, "President Shi, what do you mean by that?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novèlfire.net
Shi Che leaned back slowly in his chair, his hands clasped together, his thumbs lightly tapping the back of his hands. His black eyes were somber, with a hint of determination slowly solidifying, "I’m going to Lin City."
The word flashed through Xiao Zhao’s mind, and he instantly grasped the implication, "President Shi, are you going to find Miss Chuxia?"
Shi Che responded indifferently, but his tone was very certain. He was going to find Chuxia; he was determined to win her back.
Xiao Zhao couldn’t help but widen his eyes, "But... President Shi, didn’t you just sign the divorce agreement, saying... saying you would..." He couldn’t finish the words "let go," as Shi Che glanced over lazily, and Xiao Zhao hurriedly swallowed them back.
Shi Che, however, didn’t make an issue of it and continued to instruct him in a calm tone, "I’m not sure when I will be back, so for the next while, you’ll have to put in some extra effort. I’ll have video conferences with you every day, and at that time, you can summarize the important matters for me."
Hearing Shi Che speak , Xiao Zhao knew that some things were already beyond question. He didn’t know why Shi Che had suddenly changed his mind and wanted to win back Miss Chuxia, but he was nonetheless happy to see such an outcome.
After all... President Shi loved Miss Chuxia so much, he really hoped to see them reconcile.
Xiao Zhao noted all of Shi Che’s instructions and was about to leave when a thought flashed through his mind, and he paused. Then he turned back to Shi Che, his eyes struggling slightly, as if he had something to say but was hesitating.
Shi Che’s eyelids flicked up as he glanced at him, his lips parting lightly, "If you have something to say, say it."
Xiao Zhao took a deep breath, carefully choosing his words before finally speaking, "President Shi, may I ask what exactly happened between you and Miss Chuxia last time?"
Shi Che’s dark pupils suddenly narrowed deeply, he looked at Xiao Zhao coldly. Xiao Zhao felt a chill down his spine, but still tried to control himself as he slowly began to speak.
