"You don't have to send me home. They will put you on the suspect list as well."
Sitting in Jiang Xingye's car, Mai Xiaoshu said with sobs.
Jiang Xingye, who was originally concentrating on driving, stuffed a box of tissues into her hand and said, "I'm not afraid. I believe you."
It felt like there was a void in Mai Xiaoshu's heart that was filled.
Mai Xiaoshu looked at Jiang Xingye who was sitting in the driver's seat. In the dim light, he had a determined look on his face. Although his brows were furrowed, he didn't look like he was being perfunctory out of pity for her.
"Thank you." Mai Xiaoshu said softly.
Jiang Xingye didn't say anything else.
"Will what happened just now make things difficult for you? Will the directors... stop the project again because of this?"
Even though his own situation was very bad, Mai Xiaoshu couldn't help but care about the project.
"Neiye's funds are only enough to last for a while, and in the end, we will have to rely on the help of the board members to get through this difficult time."
"Is that why he chose to get engaged to Yin Lunmei?" The disappointment revealed in Mai Xiaoshu's words fell into Jiang Xingye's eyes.
He turned his head and looked at her, his expression somewhat gloomy: "Xiao Shu, do you mind Cheng Ye and Lun Mei being together?"
"No...it's just that Yin Lunmei has been my classmate for many years, so I'm a little curious..." Mai Xiaoshu said hurriedly.
"The cancellation of the contract by Chenxing Group did speed up the process of their engagement, but they have known each other for quite some time and have always had a good relationship. I am not surprised that they are getting engaged."
"Really?" Have they always had a good relationship?
When Jiang Xingye said this, Mai Xiaoshu immediately believed it . It turned out that what Yin Lunmei said was true.
Mai Xiaoshu recalled the first time he met Yin Lunmei at the door of the laboratory. She showed off her relationship with An Chengye with an ambiguous look on her face. It turned out that it was not a bluff.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and Jiang Xingye's words just now rang in her mind again: Chenxing Group's breach of contract did speed up the process of their engagement...
"Jiang Xingye, did you just say that 'Chenxing Group' broke the contract?"
When Mai Xiaoshu first heard the name "Chenxing Group", she felt it sounded very familiar. Only now did she remember that it was the company that Song Feifei had mentioned in the morning that had acquired their magazine.
Hearing Mai Xiaoshu's sudden question, Jiang Xingye was a little confused: "You should worry about yourself now. Let An Chengye and I figure out the project."
"The boss of Chenxing Group is Shi Hang?"
"Well, why do you ask this suddenly?"
"No, nothing."
Mai Xiaoshu turned her head to look at the traffic outside the window. Through the window, tall buildings flashed by. The morning rush hour had just passed and everything seemed full of vitality, but she was hiding in someone else's car and crying dejectedly.
But maybe there is still room for change!
A very risky idea suddenly popped up. Since things have already happened, the most important thing now is to help An Chengye overcome the current crisis. The plan is to attract new investment that is larger than that of Chenxing Group.
Not wanting to embarrass Jiang Xingye, Mai Xiaoshu secretly made up her mind to carry out this idea on her own. Regardless of success or failure, she would bear the consequences alone.
She found an excuse to ask Jiang Xingye to drop her off near the subway station. Jiang Xingye asked worriedly, "Xiao Shu, do you really not need me to take you back?"
"I have an appointment with Feifei, you should go back to the company early too." Standing outside the car window, Mai Xiaoshu bowed slightly and smiled at Jiang Xingye in the car.
"Be sure to call me if anything happens!" Jiang Xingye still said worriedly.
"Well, thank you, Jiang Xingye!" Mai Xiaoshu replied gratefully.
I once thought that Jiang Xingye was difficult to approach, but I didn't expect that he would be the one who stayed by my side when I was most isolated and helpless.
"Can you promise me something?"
"Of course ." Jiang Xingye's words surprised Mai Xiaoshu.
"Don't be so formal with me in the future, and... just call me Xingye." Jiang Xingye said.
Mai Xiaoshu pursed her lips slightly and blinked: "I promise, thank you, Xingye."
In the backlight, there were traces of tears on her cheeks, and her fair skin was slightly pink from crying. Her cute and somewhat ignorant smile made people feel particularly pity for her. This scene suddenly made Jiang Xingye's heart beat faster.
He pretended to cough and replied, "Okay, go and rest."
"Then...goodbye!"
Mai Xiaoshu waved in the air and after bidding farewell to Jiang Xingye, she ran all the way to the magazine where Song Feifei worked.
If she hadn't miscalculated the time, Shi Hang should be there now. Even though the hope was slim, she still decided to give it a try.
After finally getting to the magazine office and registering her information at the front desk, she rushed to Song Feifei's office. Song Feifei was like a fluttering butterfly, holding a box of fragrant bread and distributing it to the seniors in the office.
But there was no sign of Shi Hang, and Mai Xiaoshu, who was standing at the door, became depressed.
"Fei Fei!" Seeing Song Feifei walking towards the door, Mai Xiaoshu waved at her.
Seeing her, Song Feifei was very surprised. She put down the bread and ran over in a hurry, exclaiming: "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the company? Have you settled the company's affairs?"
Mai Xiaoshu frowned and said nothing.
She scanned the entire office and asked, "Is the boss of Chenxing Group surnamed Shi?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Where is he? I have something important to discuss with him."
Seeing her anxious look, Song Feifei was confused, but she still pointed to an office not far away: "In there."
Seeing Mai Xiaoshu trying to rush in.
Song Feifei hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked worriedly, "What are you doing, little girl? The two bosses are having a meeting now! Did something happen?"
Mai Xiaoshu turned around, his face pale and his brows knitted tightly. "This concerns me and the future of Shiku Technology. Only he can help Shiku Technology overcome the difficulties. Let me in."
"Ah? So serious!" Song Feifei was shocked by her words and dared not to stop her.
