After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

When Shen Ceyan said this, didn't he already conclude that it was her fault?

What gave him the right to make such a hasty conclusion? Although he did steal it, Shen Ceyan didn't fully understand what had happened. He was just trying to vent his anger for Ci Jinian. What gave him the right?

Shen Ceyan did not linger there. After finishing his speech, he got up and left.

Deng Jiagui quickly followed behind him and respectfully saw him out.

"Um..." Deng Jiagui stood at the door, cleared his throat, and then said, "Today's meeting is over. Everyone can leave now."

Finally, the farce came to an end, and everyone began packing up and leaving.

They were still whispering amongst themselves.

"How dramatic! Even President Shen himself has graced us with his presence."

"Yes, how often do insignificant people like us have the chance to meet President Shen?"

"Mr. Shen's meaning is probably that he's on Ji Nianci's side, right? I wonder what kind of punishment Zhao Qiuyue will receive?"

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't President Shen just say that he asked Director Deng to investigate thoroughly? Who knows what the results of the investigation will be? I've heard that Sister Qiuyue and Director Deng have a special relationship."

"Where did you hear that? Anyway, I think President Shen's meaning is very clear. Even if Director Deng wants to favor her, I guess there's nothing he can do."

"Actually, I feel that what Zhao Qiuyue said just now was quite pretentious. She said she wanted to give Ji Nianci a chance, but who doesn't know that she usually treats Ji Nianci very badly?"

"Exactly, I almost burst out laughing when she said those things just now..."

Seeing her carefully planned scheme shattered, Zhao Qiuyue felt intense resentment.

Deng Jiagui called out to her, "Zhao Qiuyue, come to my office."

Zhao Qiuyue paused, gripping the folder in her hand tightly, as if it would shatter if she pressed any harder.

Where no one was watching, Ji Nianci quietly followed in Shen Ceyan's footsteps.

Shen Ceyan stepped into the elevator, and Ji Nianci followed right behind him.

After the elevator doors closed, only the two of them remained in the small space.

Ji Nianci leaned forward slightly, stood on tiptoe, and the distance between them instantly closed, their breaths mingling.

Shen Ceyan could smell a faint fragrance on her, a scent reminiscent of jasmine.

Yes, they must have switched to a new shower gel at home.

He thought so.

"Why did you suddenly come over?" Ji Nianci suddenly asked.

Her eyebrows curved into a smile, and a gentle smile played on her lips, like the continuous spring rain in Jiangnan, captivating all who beheld her.

Shen Ceyan stared blankly for two seconds.

Then he said, "I was afraid you'd be bullied."

He raised his hand and gently tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear.

A warm feeling washed over Ji Nianci after hearing this, and she said with a touch of pride, "It's nothing, just a small matter, I can handle it."

“I know, that’s why I’ve been standing at the conference room door listening without going in.”

Shen Ceyan knew that his daughter always wanted to solve problems independently, so he would give her plenty of space.

"Huh? You've been listening outside the whole time?" Ji Nianci was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly:

"So, did you hear what I said? How about that? Wasn't I amazing? I left Zhao Qiuyue speechless, and she even fell for my words."

As she spoke, a tiny glint of light appeared in her eyes.

"Yeah, awesome."

The man smiled dotingly.

"Hehe." After being praised like that, Ji Nianci lowered her head a little shyly, and her face turned slightly red.

She subconsciously tugged at the hem of her dress and asked again, "Then why did you suddenly come in again from behind?"

"I couldn't help myself when I saw you being wronged."
