The man seemed a bit embarrassed to have been caught by Ye Shengge. He rubbed his nose and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m Yu Shuhang. We’ve met before.”
Ye Shengge was enlightened. “Ah… I remember now. You’re Shiting’s friend!”
“That’s right!” Yu Shuhang smiled upon seeing that she still remembered him. “You’re here for Shiting? I have something to talk to him about. Let’s go up together.”
“Okay!” Ye Shengge couldn’t have hoped more.
The receptionist couldn’t have been more familiar with Yu Shuhang’s face, so she didn’t stop him. They walked into the elevator dedicated to the president, and Yu Shuhang entered the elevator’s password. Ye Shengge stared at it.
“The password of this elevator will be changed every now and then, so you don’t have to remember it.” Yu Shuhang smiled. “I’ll call Shiting each time I come to look for him. Just call him directly.”
Ye Shengge looked away and nodded.
They speak anymore, but Yu Shuhang kept staring at her as if he was trying to figure something out.
Ye Shengge thought he was just curious, so she held back. Fortunately, the elevator stopped soon.
“You first, sister-in-law.” Yu Shuhang was a gentleman.
“No, you can go first.” Ye Shengge smiled. “I don’t have anything important to do. I’ll go in after you two have your talk.”
“Then, thank you, sister-in-law.” Yu Shuhang accepted her kindness. He had something important to discuss with Ji Shiting.
He then walked out of the elevator, opened the office door and walked in.
There was an open working area outside the office, where Ji Shiting’s assistants and secretaries worked. Ye Shengge didn’t want to disturb them, so she found an empty desk and sat down. No one noticed her as they were busy.
…
Inside his office, Ji Shiting was going through some documents. He closed the file when he noticed Yu Shuhuang. “You’re here?”
“The project you gave me last time. The one in the west of the city,” Yu Shuhang said. “It’s been stagnating because of the Xiao family.”
“The Xiao family?” Ji Shiting was a bit surprised. “Why would Xiao Cheng have a bone to pick on you? Is it because you’re Yanze’s friend?”
“It’s impossible that Xiao Cheng doesn’t know about what happened between Yanze and Li Yinian. If he minds it, he wouldn’t even agree to marry her,” Yu Shuhang said.
“Then it would be Xiao Ruilang, Xiao Cheng’s son.” Ji Shiting knocked on the desk and sneered. “His father is about to marry a stepmother close to his age, so of course he wouldn’t want it to go through. Given his personality, he’s going to do everything he can to prevent it.”
Yu Shuhang grimaced and said, “Xiao Ruilang is like a poisonous snake. It’s not a good thing being a target of his.”
“He still isn’t the head of the Xiao family yet. Xiao Cheng hasn’t died yet,” Ji Shiting said. “Xiao Cheng probably doesn’t know about this, so I’ll talk to him later. Xiao Ruilang won’t dare to disobey him.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you. Fortunately, you still have some friendly ties with Xiao Cheng.” Yu Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief, then he changed the topic. “By the way, don’t you think sister-in-law looks like someone?”
Ji Shiting raised his eyebrows. “You mean Shengge?”
“That’s right. I felt that she looked a little like Ling Yutong the first time I saw her. Don’t you think so?” Yu Shuhang couldn’t help asking.
