Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 42 Your boss has people he needs to keep company with.
Shen Luo initially thought it was just a farce in a wealthy family, but unexpectedly, when he actually investigated, he actually found out something.

Shen Yuanbai's ex-wife is named Luo Linwen. They were a good match in terms of social standing, and their marriage could be described as a political alliance.

Luo Linwen is a top student from an Ivy League school in the United States. A few years ago, she and Shen Yuanbai were known as the golden couple of the business district, enjoying unparalleled popularity.

Until Qin Mai appeared, various problems arose between Shen Yuanbai and Luo Linwen, ultimately leading to their divorce.

However, their divorce was relatively amicable, a peaceful separation.

Luo Linwen also has her own businesses; most of the children's toys on the market are made by Luo Linwen's company.

"However, starting last month, Luo Linwen's emotions began to be off. She went to see Shen Yuanbai many times. At first, Shen Yuanbai would see her, but I don't know what happened during the meetings. Recently, Shen Yuanbai has not seen her. Luo Linwen was furious and went to see the old lady of the Shen family."

"What does this have to do with Qin Mai?" Shang Xingjian was more concerned about this point.

"The strangest thing is that, logically speaking, Shen Yuanbai divorced his wife because of Qin Mai and has been promoting Qin Mai for the past few years, but Qin Mai and Shen Yuanbai do not have a good relationship and even have a grudge."

Shang Xingjian finally showed some interest and looked at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo continued, "Qin Mai has a child with intellectual disabilities, which is caused by premature birth. No one knows the reason for the premature birth. It can only be found from the information that was deleted by the hospital. The person Qin Mai went to the hospital back then was Shen Yuanbai."

Upon hearing that the child had intellectual disabilities due to premature birth, Shang Xingjian lowered her eyes.

Seeing that the boss was still not saying anything, Shen Luo was unsure whether to continue, "Boss?"

"The child isn't Shen Yuanbai's?" Cheng Mai, who came out of the restroom, had obviously heard what was said earlier and seemed to know why Shang Xingjian was silent.

Qin Mai, and her unborn child.

In this life, Qin Mai also has a child with intellectual disabilities due to premature birth.

It was all too coincidental, so coincidental that it was as if Shang Xingjian was telling him right in the face that Qin Mai and that child had a close relationship with him.

Shen Luo frowned. "We can't find out. Qin Mai and Shen Yuanbai don't get along, but Shen Yuanbai has been taking care of them all these years. The child had some trouble a couple of days ago, and Shen Yuanbai probably ignored his ex-wife because of that."

Cheng Mai recalled seeing Qin Mai at the airport a couple of days ago, who was in a hurry to leave; it must have been because of the child.

"So, Shen Yuanbai contacted us saying his ex-wife has gone mad and he hopes Xuanhe Technology can exorcise the evil spirit?"

Shen Luo nodded.

“It’s not a big deal. Anyone can handle it. But Shen Yuanbai raised another issue. He said he suspected that the child’s mental instability wasn’t due to premature birth, and he even suspected that someone had stolen his brain.”

No one knows more about brain theft than Cheng Mai, and Cheng Mai was the first person they encountered whose brain had been replaced. They couldn't afford to be careless if they met him again.

"Did Shen Yuanbai say that?" Shang Xingjian came to his senses and confirmed it again.

Shen Luo nodded. "As for any evidence, he said there was none, only suspicion." He then looked at Cheng Mai, implying that Cheng Mai's sudden intelligence had aroused his suspicion, and that the child had experienced the same situation as Cheng Mai.

"I'll deal with his ex-wife's matter first. Once things are settled here, I'll go see the child." He's practically laid bare his plans; it would be a shame not to go see him.

Shen Luo agreed and then reported to Cheng Mai on the current progress of the company's reforms. Everything was going according to Cheng Mai's plan, and it was estimated that in another two months, the company would be truly on the right track.

Shen Luo left after giving his report.

Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian, who was looking down at Qin Mai's documents, and asked, "If you care so much, why don't you go back and see for yourself?"

After glancing at the documents, Shang Xingjian threw them into the trash can. "If your eyesight is bad, then donate them. Otherwise, even if you have a brain, you'll be a level two disabled person if you don't have eyes."

Cheng Mai hissed. Where was she blind? Shen Luo had something to say, and upon returning, she heard this.

So what's the next step?
She leaves?

"That young Taoist priest from Xuantian Temple asked me to tell you that he agrees to report it, but he needs you to write him a guarantee that he won't implicate those innocent young Taoist priests. If they want to stay, you can't send them away."

Guarantee?
Cheng Mai: "Quite meticulous."

A written guarantee can put those trembling children at ease; there's nothing Chengmai can't write.

So she got paper and pen, wrote it down, signed and stamped it, and then handed it to Shen Luo, saying, "Show it to him first, and then give it to him after the report is successful."

"Understood." Shen Luo took it and left for good this time.

After Shen Luo left, Cheng Mai ordered breakfast to be delivered.

Shang Xingjian had something urgent to attend to and left, but before leaving, she asked Xiao Qian and Lao Liu to stay at the hotel to protect her.

As for where the merchant was going, he didn't say, and no one dared to ask.

However, Cheng Mai knew that Shang Xingjian's emotions had changed after Shen Luo mentioned the child.

Breakfast was rather tasteless; I barely ate a few bites.

"Mr. Cheng, is it not good?" Xiao Qian ate very happily, thinking that the breakfast in the presidential suite was already at the level of a five-star hotel.

Old Liu went out for a bit and came back quickly, bringing back a bowl of hot and sour noodles that cost ten yuan a bowl downstairs.

"No appetite? Eat this, it's delicious." Old Liu said meaningfully, "I added extra vinegar, it'll whet your appetite."

The lunchbox was opened, and a strong smell of vinegar wafted out. She looked at Uncle Liu with a chill.

Uncle Liu smiled, gesturing for Cheng Mai to eat quickly.

The vinegar was indeed appetizing; Cheng Mai actually picked up his chopsticks and ate a few more bites. It was so sour that his teeth felt weak. He had no idea how much vinegar Uncle Liu had put in.

Xiao Qian was holding the exorbitantly priced seafood porridge, and just smelling it made her mouth water. It was amazing that CEO Cheng could still eat it all; he really had a good appetite.

"Tell me, how can I find the person behind this as quickly as possible?" Cheng Mai asked while eating.

Xiaoqian slurped up a few mouthfuls of seafood porridge. "What's the rush? Let's take our time looking."

What if they really find him? What will happen after Xiao Cheng leaves Xuanhe safely?
Are they going to have to go back to their old basement?

"That's right, Mr. Cheng, you have to take things one step at a time. Besides, the person behind you doesn't look simple. Don't rush, the boss is here to help you find your way." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

Cheng Mai didn't laugh; those words weren't funny.

"Don't you believe the boss will always be there for you?" Old Liu looked at Cheng Mai with a 'how could you think that?' as if Cheng Mai had done something heinous.

Cheng Mai looked at Lao Liu with a deep gaze, suspecting that he was doing it on purpose.

"Your boss has someone to accompany him, so I won't wait in line," Cheng Mai said, picking up his empty lunchbox to throw it away.

Turning around, he met the eyes of Jian Si, who had just returned from his business.
