Chapter 616: Uncontrollable Laughter! Who Is the Child’s Father? (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone from the venue design department gathered together, trying to figure out who the father of the child was.
Su Mei’s reasoning seemed logical. “Think about it. Back then, Executive a.s.sistant Ji was the one who had recommended her to Director Mi. Furthermore, on the day that Zhuang Nainai came, our company started giving us packed meals! But do you all still remember? Zhuang Nainai’s packed meals were different from ours!”
At these words, all the employees suddenly remembered that it was indeed the case. Back then, Leader Zhang had wanted to take Zhuang Nainai’s packed meal for himself but had not succeeded in doing so.
Su Mei’s expression was thoughtful. She continued speculating solemnly, “Things like packed meals should be handled by the Office of the General Manager. As the boss of the Office, Executive a.s.sistant Ji definitely had a hand in this. I remember now, our packed lunches were always delivered to us by someone else, whereas Zhuang Nainai’s were delivered by May personally!”
“But May’s position in the Office of the General Manager is second only to Executive a.s.sistant Ji’s. Isn’t the only person who can order her about Executive a.s.sistant Ji in that case?”
Everyone nodded in unison.
“Think about it. Doesn’t Executive a.s.sistant Ji always go to the bas.e.m.e.nt carpark as well? And I’ve realized that Zhuang Nainai hardly goes to the cafeteria for lunch in the afternoons and that Executive a.s.sistant Ji has never even been there! Think about it — the last time Li Li was giving Zhuang Nainai a hard time in the cafeteria, Executive a.s.sistant Ji had rescued Zhuang Nainai, his damsel in distress! Zhuang Nainai had committed such a huge mistake, but the company had always been of the opinion that she was wronged. Wasn’t that because Executive a.s.sistant Ji had spoken up for her in front of Mr. Si?” [Ji Chen protests: I’m really not that much of a big shot!]
Everyone nodded in unison again.
Su Mei slapped the table. “Alright, if you want to know who the father of the child is, let’s go and hide, then ambush them today!”
As she said this, she waved her hand in the air. “Lee, go to Carpark 1!”
“w.a.n.g, you’ll be at Carpark 2!”
“There will be someone at each carpark! We’ll definitely be able to catch her in the act!” As she said this, Su Mei grinned sinisterly. Everyone around her grew afraid as they watched her. Then, she pumped up an arm and clenched her fist. “d.a.m.n, Zhuang Nainai, we’ve been in the same department for so long. I’ve treated you as a sister, but you’ve even kept the fact that you have a husband away from me! If I don’t uncover your adulterous lover today, my last name isn’t Su!”
Everyone was shocked into silence. So why were they roped into causing mischief along with her?
Zhuang Nainai wasn’t aware of Su Mei’s intentions. At that moment, Zhuang Nainai was staring at her computer as she envisaged the sketch of the spring outfits in her mind’s eye.
On the top floor…
Si Zhengting was up to his shoulders in work, but the phone on his table rang punctually.
He looked down, glanced at the display, and saw the word “strawberry” on it.
Si Zhengting immediately picked up his phone and gave Zhuang Nainai a call. However, Zhuang Nainai had gone to get herself a gla.s.s of water at the moment. Her phone was still in her jacket pocket, and thus, Si Zhengting did not manage to get through to her.
Si Zhengting thought for a moment before calling out, “Ji Chen!”
Ji Chen immediately pushed the door open obediently and walked in. He stood before Si Zhengting. “Mr. Si.”
Si Zhengting coughed, then said, “You haven’t been given a raise in half a year, right?”
Ji Chen immediately lowered his head. He thought to himself, Ever since Madam got here, there have been so many contingencies happening! It’s good that you haven’t deducted my salary! How would I have the guts to ask for a raise?!
Ji Chen remained silent. Si Zhengting said, “Hm, I’ll add $500,000 to your annual salary.”
Ji Chen was speechless.
Ji Chen had been struck dumb by this prize that had fallen into his lap!
He stared at Si Zhengting dazedly. Then he heard Si Zhengting say, “Go downstairs and remind Madam to eat the strawberries.”
