Shen Xiumei could barely control her expression.
Disgusting!
Wei Shikang reached out and removed the grain of rice, smiling apologetically at her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Meimei, I was just too excited."
"Your cooking is too delicious!"
Shen Xiumei didn't care about his praise, pretending to be magnanimous, and turned her head away.
Idiot, how could food from a five-star hotel not be delicious?
While Wei Shikang was devouring his meal, she took out wet wipes from her bag and wiped her face.
A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
Huo Rou's help with this project was too significant. Shen Yuanshu had told her not to report it, and now it had come to this.
If this continued, their project would be successfully completed.
At that time, China would no longer need—
"Let go of me!" Shen Xiumei was escorted into the Eleventh Company. She hadn't expected Shen Yuanshu's anger to be so immense.
It was just Huo Rou. When she reported it to a higher authority, she expected to be reprimanded.
But she hadn't expected Shen Yuanshu to have her tied up and brought to the company because of this!
He had only seen a blurry photo of Huo Rou once!
"Brother, are you crazy!" Shen Xiumei's first words to Shen Yuanshu were this.
She had never been so humiliated as being dragged into the company.
"Crazy?"
Shen Yuanshu walked up to her, his face dark, raised his hand high, and struck her heavily across the face.
"Didn't you remind me of my position?"
Shen Yuanshu straightened his cuffs and slowly sat back at his desk. "Your position is to report to me when something happens, not to go over my head!"
Shen Xiumei had always respected him. There must have been a reason for her rushing to report it to a higher authority.
However, understanding it was one thing, and being angry was another.
"Speak," Shen Yuanshu motioned for her to be released and pushed a teacup towards her.
Shen Xiumei's eyes were filled with grievance, but under Shen Yuanshu's gaze, she dared not say anything more. She had seen how cruel and tyrannical her brother could be.
"To allow Huo Rou to rest earlier, they worked through the night yesterday and caught up with the progress."
"There's a dinner party this afternoon, a small celebration. Wei Shikang told me he wanted to take me." Shen Xiumei covered her face, her silent accusation evident.
If she showed up with this face, she didn't know how Wei Shikang would explain it.
"He can bring you?"
Shen Yuanshu raised an eyebrow, a plan gradually forming in his mind.
"Yes, he said that for this dinner party, we can bring our families. He knew I had always wanted to meet Huo Rou, so he told me about it."
Shen Xiumei took a sip of tea to calm herself, then, gathering her courage, asked, "The boss said he wants to get rid of her. Why don't we take advantage of today's dinner party..."
"I will handle this," Shen Yuanshu interrupted.
"You can't touch her."
Shen Xiumei thought Shen Yuanshu still intended to let Huo Rou off the hook and looked at him in confusion. "Brother, since the boss has already given the order, it must be carried out! Do you intend to disobey orders?"
"Take me to the celebration party this afternoon," Shen Yuanshu silenced Shen Xiumei with this sentence.
Seeing that Shen Yuanshu wasn't blinded by lust, Shen Xiumei rubbed her already swollen cheek, feeling that the beating hadn't been in vain.
"Are you going to act today?" she pondered, thinking it was too risky.
"That Huo Rou and Qin Ningyi are inseparable. Qin Ningyi will definitely be there this afternoon, and I've seen people secretly protecting them."
Shen Xiumei thought more and more that she should directly use poison. "Brother, give me the poison you developed. I'll do it. As long as she dies..."
"The mission will be completed."
Someone so perfect shouldn't exist in this world.
