However, when the directors heard Yuan Shu’s words, they couldn’t sit still anymore. If Lin Xi stole the company’s money, wouldn’t that be equivalent to stealing their money?

“Miss Yuan, what’s going on? You have to explain clearly!”

“Tens of millions? Are you sure? If so, call the police!”

“That’s right. From the beginning, I felt that she had forged the document. Perhaps she was sent by our opponent’s company!”

The directors’ condemnation became louder and louder. Lin Xi leaned towards the door. She definitely couldn’t be arrested by the police, or else her identity would be exposed.

Before anyone could say anything, Lin Xi covered her face and pretended to cry as she ran out.

Yuan Shu had long seen through her tricks, so she glanced at the lawyer, who nodded and walked out of the conference room.

“Since everyone has seen the document, I’ll announce that I’m the current acting CEO of the Shi Corporation.” Yuan Shu sat in the center steadily. “Next, I’ll announce the first thing I’ll do after I take office.”

Her gaze swept across the meeting room coldly. There were a few people who didn’t dare to meet her gaze.

“Deputy Director Xiao Xi from the Finance Department, Manager Wang Shan from the Marketing Department, and Director Gu Ming from the Human Resources Department, the few of you have been dismissed.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them looked up at her. However, before they could quibble, Yuan Shu continued, “I’ve already investigated the portion of the company’s public funds that you guys embezzled. The evidence is in my hands. Make up for the deficit in three days and resign voluntarily. Otherwise, these materials will be at the police station in three days.”

Cheng Cheng had recorded the actions of some of the company’s corrupt employees. Although the evidence wasn’t substantial, it was enough to scare these people. As the saying went, all was fair in war.

“There’s also evidence of other things.” Yuan Shu took out a USB flash drive. “On account that you’re all veterans of the company, I’m not willing to be so ruthless and am willing to give you guys a chance to remedy the situation. The time limit is also three days. I don’t want to see any more problems.”

After the board meeting ended, Yuan Shu immersed herself in her work.

Lin Xi wasn’t good at managing the company. Apart from satisfying her own greed, she didn’t consider the company’s development at all.

Yuan Shu worked in the company for a few consecutive days and ate and slept in the company every day. Only then did she resolve the problem that had been left behind.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the Shi Corporation, Yuan Shu was eating sushi. This was a fast and convenient food, so she wouldn’t waste her time.

Jiang Chen had been really busy recently. Apart from the company’s affairs, the Song family had also put a lot of pressure on him.

Especially since Song Shi would threaten him with Yuan Shu’s matter from time to time, he could only accompany Song Shi to prepare for the engagement party.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was safe and sound, he finally felt relieved.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Shu ate the last piece of sushi before putting down the materials in her hand.

Jiang Chen’s heart ached when he saw her haggard face, but he had already sent invitations for his engagement party with Song Shi. He knew the engagement couldn’t be canceled.

“I’m getting engaged.” His voice trembled as he spoke.

However, there was no change in Yuan Shu’s expression. She nodded seriously and said, “Alright, leave the invitation here. I’ll definitely attend.”

Seeing how calm she was, Jiang Chen didn’t feel happy at all. “Aren’t you unhappy at all? Aren’t you sad?”

Before Yuan Shu could finish speaking, the office door was pushed open.

Song Shi walked in angrily. “What’s there to be sad about? I’m the one who should be sad! You’re about to get engaged to me, so why are you still looking for her?”

She deliberately didn’t close the door, and she deliberately raised her voice. “Yuan Shu, he’s my fiance. You’re already a divorced woman, so how can you still have the cheek to pester Jiang Chen?”

“Shut up!” Jiang Chen glared at her coldly.

However, Song Shi knew that it was impossible for him to cancel the engagement at this time. When she thought of the video she had received, she became even more confident.

“She’s just a piece of trash who’s already been played by others, so why are you still thinking about her?” Song Shi said fiercely. “She was kidnapped. Miss Yuan is so beautiful, so do you think she escaped so easily? She’s already been raped countless times. When you were looking for her, she might have been begging for mercy under some man! Otherwise, how could she be alive…”

Jiang Chen slapped her hard. “I told you to shut up.. Didn’t you hear me?”
