Xu Qinghuan only vaguely remembered that, in a hazy state, he stroked her hair again and again until she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep...

Perhaps because she was completely drained of energy, she slept very soundly.

Before leaving, Fu Yanshi made sure to draw the curtains tightly shut, so that not a single ray of light could get in, causing Xu Qinghuan to sleep until noon!

She touched her phone and saw a call from her mother and a missed call from Secretary Lin.

What...does he want with me?

Xu Qinghuan quickly sat up to clear her head and then returned the call.

"Secretary Lin, you wanted to see me?"

"Yeah, I was thinking of asking when you're going back to work normally."

"Then you can call it a few more times. I accidentally overslept... I'm sorry! If you have something urgent next time, you can call it a few more times." Xu Qinghuan quickly apologized.

Secretary Lin on the other end of the phone chuckled, "President Fu just told me that you haven't woken up yet and asked me not to disturb you. He said you'll contact me when you wake up."

"...He, he told you?"

Does that mean Secretary Lin also knows about their relationship?!

"Besides President Fu, who else would know you're still asleep?"

Xu Qinghuan's lips twitched involuntarily a few times.

As clever as Secretary Lin was, he simply chuckled a few times. “You don’t need to feel anything. No matter what your relationship with President Fu is, your work ability is still necessary! If your ability is not outstanding, you will not be able to stay in Fu’s. I will not attribute all your efforts to President Fu taking care of you just because you are someone to President Fu.”

"I didn't think that much about it, I just... felt a little awkward." Before, in front of Secretary Lin, I had deliberately kept my distance from Fu Yanshi.

"What's so embarrassing? Actually, I really admire you now that I know this." Secretary Lin paused for a moment. "With your connections, you're still willing to invest money with me to run projects and go through all that hard work on business trips. I'm very impressed with you."

Secretary Lin had thought about it before: the position of the president's wife of the Fu Group is such a huge crown. Whoever wears it can live a life of luxury and never have to bow down to anyone or anything.

Unexpectedly, this person was right beside me! And he was a polite little follower who just wanted to learn some experience from me.

"Now that you've said that, I don't know what to say anymore..."

"Then let's stop talking and pack up and come to the company! Attorney Xia has already resigned and admitted that he framed you. Although the evidence will take some time to be released to the public after a thorough investigation, until then, as long as you are not afraid of what others will say behind your back, you can return to work at the company legitimately."

Xu Qinghuan immediately said, "I'll go back to work! I'm not afraid of what others say."

She used to work part-time when she was in school, and some classmates would talk about her, mocking and belittling her. She heard it all! She no longer cared.

Being able to go back to work is the most important thing!

"Okay, come find me when you get here."

"Yes, thank you, Secretary Lin."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qinghuan immediately got up, washed up, and tidied herself up before taking the subway to Fu's headquarters.

She stopped at the entrance of the building, looked up at the towering structure, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.

As Secretary Lin had predicted, although no one dared to speak out loud along the way, their eyes had been scrutinizing Xu Qinghuan countless times! The meanings in their gazes were all different.

Some were curious, some were gossipy, and some were maliciously scrutinizing.

Xu Qinghuan silently noted the source of this gaze, because it must be someone who firmly supports Xia Wanyu's faction. She would have to be careful of such underhanded tactics in the company from now on.
