The woman lifted the folder in her hand. "I'm here to deliver the company's financial statements for this quarter, but I didn't see President Gu, so I wasn't sure where to put it."
Having followed Gu Jiangyan for so long, Qin Wen's work capabilities had greatly improved, not to mention that he had also picked up some of Gu Jiangyan's imposing, cold aura.
Holding the documents in one hand and Jian Sheng in the other, he looked serious and warned, "All file reports are to be delivered to me according to procedure, organized by me, and then handed over to the boss. Even documents that need to be submitted directly to the boss can simply be placed on the boss's desk. You don't need to worry about where to put them."
The woman placed the folder down and chuckled, "I'm new here and didn't know the procedures. Sorry about that."
As if not hearing the warning in Qin Wen's tone, the woman smiled and walked out of the president's office. As she passed Jian Sheng, her eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Watching the woman's retreating back, Jian Sheng propped her chin with her small hand, a name surfacing in her mind.
Tang Xiaoxiao!
She was a classmate and close friend of Bai Yueguang (the White Moonlight) during her studies abroad.
At the same time, Tang Xiaoxiao had a hidden identity: she was the cousin of the Clin Group, which had a cooperation with her scumbag father's Huanyu Group!
It was Tang Xiaoxiao who had paved the way for Bai Yueguang to enter the Clin Group.
However, Bai Yueguang didn't even know about Tang Xiaoxiao's identity. It wasn't until later in the novel, when Bai Yueguang's true colors were exposed and she was betrayed by everyone after falling from grace, that Tang Xiaoxiao revealed her identity to support Bai Yueguang.
A classic villainous female supporting character's enforcer.
Unlike Bai Yueguang, who cared about maintaining appearances and played the role of a white lotus, Tang Xiaoxiao was genuinely dark-hearted and ruthless.
Many of the bad deeds Bai Yueguang couldn't handle herself were handled by Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao's presence here now was for two reasons: first, to help her best friend see what the man Bai Yueguang had been longing for looked like, and second, to steal company intelligence. This way, when Bai Yueguang returned to the country, she could target him effectively and gain Gu Jiangyan's favor.
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao leave, Jian Sheng followed her with her short legs, quietly tiptoeing.
Qin Wen looked at the folder on his desk, frowning and lost in thought.
"This woman is definitely not right... Huh? Where did the little lady go?"
Qin Wen snapped out of his suspicion of Tang Xiaoxiao and immediately noticed that Jian Sheng, who had been sitting obediently on the chair, had disappeared.
Qin Wen rushed out, but Tang Xiaoxiao and Jian Sheng had already vanished.
"Where on earth did this little ancestor run off to! The company might not be dangerous, but it's not a place to run around carelessly!"
Just as he was about to go out to look for her, he saw his boss walking over with another man, who had a buzz cut, a tall build, and muscles so pronounced they stretched his suit taut. Seeing Qin Wen, Gu Jiangyan's originally relaxed demeanor turned stern again. "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Boss, my ni..." Qin Wen, anxious, saw the outsider and quickly changed his words. "Boss, I brought my niece here to look after her today, but I lost track of her when I was momentarily distracted."
"What did you say?" Gu Jiangyan's voice suddenly deepened.
His entire presence exuded a dangerous aura.
Qin Wen quickly recounted what had happened in the office, emphasizing the strange behavior of the woman who delivered the files.
However, Gu Jiangyan completely ignored the mention of any woman and asked with a somber face, "Since she's missing, why are you still here?"
Qin Wen wore a miserable expression. *I was just about to go find her!*
"Can't she ever make me worry less?" Gu Jiangyan couldn't suppress his irritation. "Go check the surveillance footage. She can't have gone far in this short time. Also, ask in the company group if anyone has seen the child, just in case someone sees her and throws her out."
Qin Wen quickly agreed, but secretly grumbled, *Does anyone else see this cute little girl and think of throwing her out?*
After Qin Wen left, Gu Jiangyan managed a strained smile. "Mr. Xiong, I apologize. Have I made a fool of myself? Let's discuss the other cooperation details in my office."

"Little thing, why are you following me?"
In the restroom, Tang Xiaoxiao turned around and looked down at the child who had followed her, her eyes somewhat cold.
The little girl was a tiny figure, swallowed by the oversized suit, making her look out of place. Her fair, rosy cheeks were soft and tender, almost as if they could be pinched into shape. Her large, round eyes blinked curiously at her.
She was as beautiful as an angel dropped onto the mortal realm, evoking a deep sense of affection from the first glance.
However, Tang Xiaoxiao grew more vigilant.
From the moment she saw this little thing in the office, she felt something was amiss. Now, with the little thing following her, a ruthless glint spread in her eyes.
Jian Sheng smiled sweetly, but her words made Tang Xiaoxiao's pupils contract sharply. "Auntie, are you trying to steal my daddy's things~?"
This sentence carried so much information!
Tang Xiaoxiao's thoughts raced, and she almost instantly grasped the child's identity.
*Didn't this bastard die?*
Tang Xiaoxiao's expression shifted slightly, her eyes flashing with malice.
Jian Sheng seemed oblivious, asking with an innocent look, "Daddy said today that there seems to be a mole in the company, and they've installed more cameras. Auntie, do you know what a mole and cameras are?"
*Damn it, who's your auntie!*
Tang Xiaoxiao almost gritted her teeth, forcing a smile. "Auntie doesn't know either. Auntie doesn't even know who your daddy is, so how could she steal your daddy's things?"
Completely unaware of how ugly her smile looked at that moment.
Jian Sheng sighed with a hint of disappointment. "Auntie doesn't know either. Then Sheng Sheng can only go ask Daddy. Goodbye, Auntie."
After speaking, she even waved goodbye to Tang Xiaoxiao with a smile.
Tang Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, forcefully suppressing the urge to kill.
She should thank this little thing this time for letting her know that Gu Jiangyan had strengthened his defenses. She would have to be even more cautious in her future actions.

On the corridor less than twenty meters away from the public restroom, Qin Wen was sending messages in the company group chat on his phone.
Special Assistant Qin Wen: 【@Everyone, my niece is lost in the company. She's about four or five years old. If anyone sees her, please bring her to my office.】
Almost instantly, over ten replies popped up below.
【President Gu's daughter is lost? Assistant Qin, aren't you afraid President Gu will make things difficult for you?】
【Didn't see her. I'll go look now. I've been wanting to see what President Gu's daughter looks like, hehe.】
...
【Let me tell you a horror story, look at the group name!】
At this point, the group chat immediately fell silent.
Immediately after, there were a series of notifications: 【XX has recalled a message】.
Qin Wen subconsciously glanced at the group name.
"Huanyu Group Jiangcheng Branch General Group." Nothing seemed wrong?
Wait, what did those people just say?
Qin Wen's expression gradually froze.
