Ji Chen looked down and held his breath nervously.

After a while, he started speaking again. “Sir, I will pass the word to them. But it has been more than 10 years since Mi Nuo left the small mountain village. Li Yufeng has also left her home in the past for a long time. Since so much time has passed, the villagers’ memory is rather blurred. It is indeed difficult to investigate and we need to spend some time to do so.”

Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting raised his brows. “So?”

Ji Chen lowered his head hurriedly. “So, I will ask them to find out the true relationship between them as fast as possible.”

It was only then that Si Zhengting became satisfied.

Ji Chen stood up and walked toward the door.

Suddenly, Si Zhengting said, “Mi Nuo can leave her job now.”

Stunned, Ji Chen turned around and asked in confusion, “Mr. Si, why so?”

Si Zhengting glanced at Zhuang Nainai nonchalantly and did not provide further explanation. “Do as I say.”

Ji Chen nodded immediately. “Yes.”

After Ji Chen had left, Zhuang Nainai approached Si Zhengting and asked curiously, “Why are you letting Mi Nuo leave her job? Didn’t you say that you can detect her schemes more clearly if she’s stationed in the office?”

Although Si Zhengting did not explain much to Ji Chen, he was extremely patient toward Zhuang Nainai and explained to her, “I thought Mi Nuo and Li Yufeng would carry out their plan, but I was wrong. They are actually being very calm. During times like this, we need to provoke them.”

After saying this, Si Zhengting held Zhuang Nainai’s hand. “Since you are several months into pregnancy already and in case they are driven to desperate actions, you should stop coming to work.”

The spring apparels’ designs had been ready and sent to the factory. Currently, they were already available for sale in every big mall and they seemed to be rather popular.

It was destined that Zhuang Nainai would not be able to work on the summer apparels. Twins were known to be prone to premature births, so reaching nine months of pregnancy would already be considered a good thing.

Upon hearing Si Zhengting’s words, Zhuang Nainai nodded obediently.

She might not be able to be of help for certain matters, but the only thing she could do was to not create any more problems.

After Mi Nuo returned to her office, she was rather anxious.

She knew that she had messed up everything. However, on second thought, it seemed like she had not left anything that could be used against her, so at least it shouldn’t make matters worse, right?

Taking in a deep breath, Mi Nuo thought to herself that she was fine and that nothing would happen, but she still could not calm down.

Anxious and helpless, she paced back and forth around the room. Then, she checked the news on the company’s Intranet every so often. After seeing that there were no news of her punishment, she would heave a sigh of relief.

She was so apprehensive that she could not have lunch. There was still no news between 3 pm and 4 pm.

Does that mean that this incident will pass just like this?

Just when she’d heaved a sigh of relief, there was a knock on the door.

Mi Nuo walked toward the door and opened it, only to see Ji Chen walking in with a red packet in his hand.

At first, Mi Nuo was slightly taken aback. However, she let out a sigh of relief moments later.

Since he was giving her a red packet, that meant her efforts were being recognized, right?

As Mi Nuo thought of this, Ji Chen passed the red packet to her. Mi Nuo looked at Ji Chen with a smile on her face. “Executive Assistant Ji, it’s my responsibility to protect Mrs. Si as an employee of the company. There’s no need for Mr. Si to be so courteous. I’m already grateful that he values my talent and has employed me, so I can’t accept this red packet.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. After a while, Ji Chen finally placed the red packet on the table. “Director Mi, this is the sum of your salary for the next six months. I’m here to inform you that you don’t have to come to work from tomorrow onwards.”
