Mei Shu sighed helplessly, “It’s okay. Actually, he wasn’t wrong. Regardless of whether he truly intended to gamble, at least this incident was indeed aimed at me, and he was also implicated because of me.”
Lu Si hugged her shoulder with some concern, “Why are you so silly? Always taking everything upon yourself! This isn’t like you at all!”
Mei Shu chuckled, “No matter what, I can’t shirk responsibility. The medical expenses for Tang Long’s injury this time will be covered by the company.”
Tang Mei was shocked by Mei Shu’s generosity and quickly waved her hand, “Please don’t say that, President Mei. You shouldn’t have to pay for this!”
“It’s okay. The company’s finances can still handle this small medical expense. You don’t need to feel guilty. If you want to come back to work tomorrow, you’re welcome anytime, but don’t force yourself.” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Mei Shu tried to keep her voice gentle and then instinctively glanced at the electronic screen next to Tang Mei, where she could see Tang Mei’s affection for her almost overflowing.
Mei Shu didn’t say these kind words to gain Tang Mei’s favor. She just wanted to know what Tang Mei’s affection for her could bring.
“I understand. Please don’t worry about me. I’m really grateful for this incident and I’m truly sorry.” Tang Mei bowed deeply to Mei Shu.
Mei Shu quickly helped her up, “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Captain Liu and the others are waiting for us in the next room to take statements. Let’s go over there. They’ll also send someone to question your brother later. Let’s go.”
Tang Mei nodded. After the night of fright and shock, she was already very tired. But every time she saw Mei Shu’s straight back, she felt she could hold on a little longer. At least now wasn’t the time for her to collapse.
After a night of questioning, Mei Shu could see through Tang Mei’s intentions. Somehow, the matter reached the elders of the Mei family. The next day, Grandma Pan Hua rushed to the Mei Corporation building, accompanied by Tang Mei’s father, Mei Ye, who should be addressed as “Second Grandfather” by Mei Shu.
These two were heavyweight figures to the receptionists. The receptionists dared not stop them and could only watch as they entered the elevator, then hurriedly called Tang Mei, asking her to prepare in advance.
Mei Shu received the message while in a meeting. After Tang Mei explained the situation to her, Mei Shu had a clear idea. After arranging the upcoming work, she announced the end of the meeting and took Tang Mei back to the office to wait.
Soon enough, the two arrived and began to make a scene as soon as they stepped out of the elevator.
“Mei Shu, come out! You’ve destroyed your father’s family, and now you’ve brought trouble to your second grandfather’s family, sending his son to prison with your own hands. What right do you have to use the Mei surname?”
Pan Hua’s voice was as loud as ever, causing all the staff on the top floor to look over in surprise.
Hearing the commotion, Tang Mei furrowed her brows and went forward, “This is the office area. Please do not make a loud noise. If you need to see President Mei, please make an appointment in advance or wait in the reception room. I’ll go inform President Mei now to see if she’s available.”
“Oh, I’m her own grandmother, and I have to make an appointment to see her? Who do you think you are, daring to meddle in my affairs!” Pan Hua couldn’t bear the thought of such a big company falling into Mei Shu’s hands. Pointing at Tang Mei’s nose, she scolded, “Who are you to dare to interfere with me? Tell Mei Shu to come out and see me immediately. 1 have something to say to her!”
“I’m sorry, it’s President Mei’s rule. Regardless of who wants to meet her, an appointment must be made in advance. Please wait in the reception room. 1’11 go ask Miss Mei according to the rules.” Tang Mei maintained her polite smile, showing no signs of giving in.
“Eh, you…”
Pan Hua’s words were interrupted by the old man beside her.
He stared at Tang Mei with a heavy gaze. Compared to the impulsive Pan Hua, he exuded a sense of authority without anger.
“Then, may I ask, Miss, how long do we have to wait to see President Mei?”
“It’s hard to say. It depends on President Mei’s current workload. Please wait in the reception room. I’ll go ask President Mei now.” Tang Mei continued with the same courteous tone, making it clear that she wouldn’t yield.
With a cold snort, Mei Ye impatiently grabbed Pan Hua, “Alright, Sister-in-law. If they say we have to wait, then we’ll wait. But I won’t leave until I see her today. I don’t believe she can hide in the office all day!”
His words were far from polite.
Tang Mei’s fake smile faded slightly as she politely gestured for the two to follow.
Pan Hua was finally pulled away unwillingly. At least she was quiet now, but the entire floor couldn’t rest easy with her around.
After settling the two, Tang Mei returned to the office.
At that moment, Mei Shu remained unaffected by the outside disturbances and continued to patiently handle her work..
