Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
“Miss i Shu, hello.” The leading woman stood up and shook hands with her, gesturing for soone to vacate a seat for her.
i Shu returned the handshake with a friendly attitude, releasing her hand after a brief touch, then took a seat.
“Miss i Shu, we are currently conducting a detailed investigation into whether your company is engaged in tax evasion. Thank you for taking the ti out of your busy schedule to cooperate with us. We have a few simple questions for you, please answer truthfully.”
The staff mber took out a recording pen and placed it openly on the table.
i Shu smiled and replied, “Please, go ahead.”
The questioning process lasted for a full hour. When i Shu and the governnt officials ca out of the conference room, it was already dark outside.
Liu Xin, the leader of this inspection team, was satisfied with i Shu’s cooperation today. As they were leaving, she shook hands with i Shu again.
“Miss i Shu, if we need to, we will co to you again. Until next ti.”
“Goodbye.” i Shu maintained a polite smile until she saw’ them off at the gate.
Jiang Hai imdiately stepped forward. “How did it go? Did sothing go wrong? Is it serious?”
He w’asn’t qualified to attend the eting just now, but he was worried and had been waiting here.
i Shu was surprised that he hadn’t left, but she let him accompany her for the ti being. “It’s nothing major. Our company’s accounts have always been fine, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
“That’s good.” Jiang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After saying this, he noticed i Shu’s hesitant gaze and quickly added, “This way, I can also have an explanation to Master Si.”
As he finished speaking, there w’as a mont of silence in the office.
Tang i sneakily glanced at him and handed the docunts to i Shu. “Boss, this is the operational status of the company during your absence. I’ve organized it for you to review.”
“Okay.” i Shu nodded, then gestured to the seat opposite her desk. “Please, have a seat.”
Jiang Hai hurriedly declined, “No, I won’t sit. Master Si must be anxious. I’ll go back and report to him.”
i Shu didn’t insist on him staying. It w’asn’t until his footsteps disappeared from the office door that she looked up from the docunts and called Lu Si.
The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered, Lu Si’s voice sounding tired. “Shu’er, is it done? I’m sorry, I should have handled this matter for you.”
i Shu said, “Your situation should be more troubleso than mine. Don’t force yourself. I’m fine here. When can you get off work?”
Lu Si rubbed his temples, his eyes bloodshot. “I’ll need a while longer. 1 can’t leave the company temporarily. I’ll have Jiang Hai send you ho later. I just don’t know where he’s gone. I haven’t seen him for half a day.”
i Shu paused and said, “No need, take care of yourself. Don’t worry too much about . Jiang Hai has been with the whole ti. He wanted to make sure 1 safely seen off those governnt officials before going back. He’s already on his way.”
“He’s been with you the whole ti?” Lu Si glanced subtly in the direction of the secretary’s office outside the office, where indeed only Jiang He was leading the team to handle urgent tasks, and Jiang Hai was nowhere to be seen.
“Yes,” i Shu said. “We found out a lot during our trip to Wendith. I can’t explain it all over the phone. You can ask Jiang Hai, and he’ll tell you everything. You’re busy now. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll finish reading the docunts and head ho.”
“Okay, let know when you’re ho safely.” Lu Si hung up after saying this, then stepped out of the office.
Lu Li was frantically busy behind his desk, overwheld with tasks. From the corner of his eye, he noticed his brother had finished his call but showed no intention of coming over to offer help. He frowned with worry and frustration, “Alt Si, where are you going? I’m swamped here! Can you co over and see if there are any issues with this contract?”
“See for yourself,” Lu Si ignored him and walked into the secretary’s office.
Jiang He, seeing him approach, thought he had so instructions and quickly put down his work, standing up straight respectfully. “Master Si.”
“Master Si,” the other secretaries all echoed in unison.
Lu Si nodded and asked, “Where’s Jiang Hai?”
Jiang He looked around, then shook his head in confusion, “I don’t know. He ca back with , but 1 didn’t notice when he disappeared. Master Si, do you need him for sothing? I’ll call him right away.”
A cold frost descended over Lu Si’s face, “Have him co see imdiately.”
“Yes!” Sensing his displeasure, Jiang He didn’t dare to be careless and quickly sent a text ssage to Jiang Hai.
This was the first ti Jiang Hai had actively defied Mr. Si’s wishes and abandoned his duties.
Lu Li saw his brother enter with a serious expression and a mischievous smile crept onto her lips. “What’s wrong? Those people in the eting just now didn’t seem to anger you, but why are you suddenly upset for no apparent reason?”
Lu Si gave him a cold look and said irritably, “Didn’t you say you’re overwheld with work? Why do you have the ti to care about other things?”
