Shen Hanyu’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile. “Alright.”

A few minutes later, Sang Qianqian brought Shen Hanyu to the hospital cafeteria.

It was already past alti, so there weren’t many people around. Although the conditions there weren’t very good, it was still clean and simple.

The food was incomparable to the food at ho, but Shen Hanyu wasn’t a picky person. He did not care what he ate when he was with Sang Qianqian.

He didn’t even eat much. He said he was hungry mainly because he wanted her to co and eat with him.

On the other hand, Sang Qianqian did not see through his little trick. When she saw that Shen Hanyu had only eaten a little and then stopped eating, she thought that the food in the canteen was not to his liking. Call Auntie Zhao on your way ho and ask her to make you sothing. After you eat, go to sleep.” Shen Hanyu casually agreed. The two of them had finished their al by now. They took their plates to the counter and left the cafeteria together.

Sang Qianqian rembered the business trip he was initially on and asked, “Did you find any useful clues for Zhen Zhu from your trip?”

“There’s a crucial clue that Fang Lan is currently investigating.”

Shen Hanyu said, “When Cui Yi’s matter is settled, I’m afraid I’ll have to go back there.”

Sang Qianqian replied, “Mm. Then you can go back. The guests should be arriving soon, so 1 have to go and attend to them.”

“I’ll pick you up tonight.”

Shen Hanyu looked at her aningfully. “You’re not allowed to drink at the reception.”

“I know. I won’t dare to drink even if 1 want to. Otherwise, if I get drunk, who’s going to take care of those guests?”

She smiled mischievously and left like a gust of wind.

Shen Hanyu stood there for a while, watching her disappear into the hall before he left.

He had been on a business trip for more than ten days, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at the company. One of them was that he had an important eting scheduled in the afternoon. He had originally planned to just hold an international video call, but since he was back in the country, there was no need for that.

As soon as he entered the office, the secretary handed him a docunt. He had barely flipped two pages when the door was pushed open and soone rushed in.

The secretary followed behind the person. She wanted to stop him but did not dare to. She looked embarrassed and said apologetically, “President Shen, Miss Zhen Zhu said that she has sothing urgent to discuss with you…”

Zhen Zhu waved her hand impatiently. “Alright, you can leave. I’ll tell President Shen if there’s anything.”

Unlike last ti, she didn’t hide her identity when she returned to Zhen Group. Instead, she used her real na.

However, there were many people with the surna ‘Zhen’, so no one in the company dared to associate her with Zhen Yiping.

However, she was able to beco Tang Bochuan’s assistant as soon as she joined the company, and even with his experience and high status, he was extrely patient and polite to a young lady like her. Furthermore, she would always be visiting Shen Hanyu from ti to ti. It was hard not to think too much about it.

The company kept coming up with guesses, but no one was right.

Even though those wild guesses were just theories and no one knew Zhen Zhu’s true identity, they dared not underestimate her because of Shen Hanyu and Tang Bochuan.

Just like now, when she barged into Shen Hanyu’s office without permission, the secretary did not dare to stop her.

Shen Hanyu did not look up. “Go out.”

The secretary felt relieved and quickly left, closing the door behind her.

Zhen Zhu rushed to the table anxiously. “How’s the investigation going?”

He turned to the last page of the docunt. “There’s not much progress yet. It’s been a long ti since that case has been closed, so it’ll take a lot of effort to investigate.”

“In that case, would you have to go on that trip again?” Zhen Zhu was a little disappointed.

“Of course.”

Shen Hanyu signed his na on the docunt and continued, “As for you, how have you been these few days?”

“It’s alright. I have a basic understanding of how the group runs things.”

Zhen Zhu shrugged. “However, I’m still far from your expectations. I’m afraid that it might not be as you want in the end.”

Shen Hanyu’s expectations for her were that she would be able to take over Zhen Group in the future and that she would beco a strong woman who could settle everything on her own. To be honest, she didn’t have much confidence that she could do that.

“It’s still early. I’m not even in a hurry.”

Shen Hanyu handed a copy of the schedule on the table to her. “Co over and listen to the eting this afternoon. It’ll be very helpful for you to understand the group’s next strategy.”

Zhen Zhu took the schedule and looked at it. She was a little shocked. “Are you sure? This is a board eting, and Zhen Yiping might not agree.”

Logically speaking, only the company’s chairman, president, and more than ten senior directors could participate. Moreover, the number of people involved was extrely high. Even Tang Bochuan wasn’t qualified to participate in this.

“President Zhen has already agreed.”

Shen Hanyu glanced at her indifferently. “He’s your father, after all. Why must you call him by his na?”

Zhen Zhu smiled. “Well, what else should I call him? I can’t say the word ■father’.”

At least, before the truth of her mother’s death was found out, she wouldn’t be able to reconcile with Zhen Yiping.

Shen Hanyu frowned slightly but did not say anything. “You can go now.”

Zhen Zhu didn’t stand on ceremony. She grabbed a handful of green grapes from the coffee table, threw them into her mouth, and left.

In the afternoon, she attended the eting on ti. It was her first ti eting her ‘father’ at a company eting.

The issues discussed in the eting were basically from the top managent. Although she had been secretly taught by Tang Bochuan for a long ti and her understanding of the company could be said to have surpassed many middle-level managers, this kind of discussion from a high position was still quite difficult for her.

One of the main points of debate was the adjustnt of the Zhen family’s strategic direction in approaching the future.

Xu Kejing, the Executive Vice President of the group, believed that space technology would beco mainstream in the future. A large part of the Zhen family’s enterprise empire was a military enterprise. There were already private companies established overseas that had achieved good results. Although the situation in China was more complicated, it wasn’t impossible to cooperate with the relevant departnts and be the first to take the leap.

However, the other faction represented by Zhen Yiping did not agree with this idea. They felt that the risk of doing this was too great. Once they start, the investnt would basically beco a bottomless pit, and the benefits would be much farther than expected.

“We’re businessn after all. We should be making more realistic decisions.”

Zhen Yiping was also clearly against the idea, “I don’t think this project is worth doing.”

Xu Kejing was a little depressed, but he still tried to make a final effort. “President Zhen, the relevant departnts have actually talked to us about this before. They also intend to extend an olive branch to us. If we cooperate, they can also provide us with various governnt resources and support. It would be good for the group…”

“I’ll say it again. When we do business, we can cooperate with the governnt or even the military. We can even exchange resources, but this kind of cooperation is based on business needs, not deep binding.”

Zhen Yiping said decisively, “The Zhen family has been in business for a hundred years. The rules have always been like this.”

“The rules aren’t set in stone, and they may not always be right.”

Zhen Zhu couldn’t help but interject, “Society is constantly changing, and many of the so-called rules have been abandoned long ago. Modern tis will require new, modern rules. A successful entrepreneur should learn to go with the flow.”

She had been listening to everyone’s argunt for a long ti. To be fair, she supported Xu Kejing’s viewpoint very much and felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Other than Shen Hanyu, everyone looked at her..
