Chapter 16: The Internal War
With Wen Baobao getting her back, Wen Shuyue instantly had the guts to accept the one-year marriage with He Siming. In any case, as long as Wen Baobao promised not to leave her, she wouldn’t have to worry about her child being taken away.
However, Wen Shuyue was worried at the thought of living under the same roof with He Siming every day in the future.
In the President’s office
“Have you made up your mind?”
He Siming looked up at her. His deep eyes were as bright as stars and seemed to be bursting at any moment with an inviting charm that made Wen Shuyue unable to extricate herself after only one glance.
Wen Shuyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly drew back her eyes and tried to keep herself calm.
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind. I can live with you with Baobao for a year, but not now. I hope you can grant me another month. I will keep my promise then.”
“What? What makes you think you have a choice?” He Siming frowned and looked at her with sharp eyes, and his whole body naturally exuded a trace of danger.
Somehow, the courage that Wen Shuyue finally plucked up before suddenly disappeared again. She swallowed and tried to speak many times, but eventually stopped.
Didn’t she usually have a lot of guts? But why was she so inexplicably cowardly when she talked to He Siming about her child?
Wen Shuyue bit her teeth and tried to calm her mood.
“I know I have no choice in Baobao’s custody. But he was brought up by me, and I at least have the right to decide when to keep my promise. What’s more, I just want to focus on my work now and allow Baobao to get used to the environment here. I hope you can satisfy my little wish.” She said earnestly.
However, she was answered by He Siming’s silence. She had a distinct sense that a sharp chill was coming upon her.
The more so, the less afraid Wen Shuyue was. She looked at him calmly, her beautiful eyes full of firmness and earnestness.
“Well, then you have my consent. But you must remember who you are. We have a relationship with the kid, but at work, we haven’t had a partnership yet. I want you to keep that in mind.” He Siming finally made a compromise.
Wen Shuyue was secretly relieved.
One month was enough for her to change a lot of things. Maybe she could figure out a way to deal with He Siming in this month.
“Don’t worry, Mr. He. I won’t let you down at work.” Wen Shuyue smiled smugly, and the confidence in her face surprised He Siming.
He rarely saw a woman so confident in her own abilities, even more so than her beauty.
His thin lips rose in a slight curve. It was so faint and gone in a flash that He Siming himself did not even notice it.
In the last preliminary case, MK defeated the Gu group. But it was just a preliminary case. And this time, it was the real game.
As long as MK’s planning case this time was better than that of the Gu Group, Mannis would choose MK as its cooperation partner. Wen Shuyue, although she believed in her own ability, did not dare to take it lightly.
“Xiaolu, please help me rearrange the modified points in this plan. I’ll go have a rest first.”
In order to improve the planning, Wen Shuyue stayed up the whole night and didn’t have a rest until the next morning. Now she couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Yes, Miss Wen. Just go and have a rest.” Xiaolu nodded and soon began to work.
Wen Shuyue left the office to go to the lounge. She saw Vice President Chen as soon as she left the office. Vice President Chen looked at her in a panic, as if he felt guilty for having done something wrong.
Vice President Chen may have sensed that Wen Shuyue was watching him, and he quickly returned to normal and smiled at Wen Shuyue.
“Miss Wen, you ought not to work too hard. It’s not worth it.”
“Well, mind your own business.” Wen Shuyue snorted, looked at him, and headed for the lounge.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Watching Wen Shuyue leave, Vice President Chen gnashed his teeth and glared at Wen’s back.
He clenched his fist unwittingly, and the pain in his hand reminded him of his hatred for this woman all the time.
“Wen Shuyue! Wait and see. ”
Wen Shuyue couldn’t open her eyes as soon as she got to the lounge because her body was overdrawn. She had been asleep for a while when there was a terrible noise outside, and she had to get up.
Wen Shuyue rubbed her eyes and left the room sleepily.
“What’s the matter? What are you arguing about?”
Seeing Wen Shuyue come out, Xiaolu hurriedly ran to her in a panic and said, “We are in big trouble, Miss Wen. Our planning scheme has been destroyed, and even your computer system has been hacked.”
“What?”
Wen Shuyue woke up at once. She always thought that something terrible would happen, but she didn’t expect it would come so suddenly.
Tomorrow would be the last day, and no matter how hard she tried and it was impossible to make a new one. The one who hacked into her computer system was determined to ruin the cooperation.
Wen Shuyue’s face was sullen.
“Keep calm, and don’t worry. You go check the monitoring, and I’ll see if there is any possibility of recovery.”
“Ok,” Xiaolu replied.
After Xiaolu left, Wen Shuyue hurried to the computer. But the computer system was hacked so badly that there was no way she could do it all over again.
That guy must be a top hacker; otherwise, he would never destroy her computer into a complete mess. Suddenly, a person flashed through Wen Shuyue’s mind. No one else would have hated her so much.
The story soon spread all over the company. Many people said that Wen Shuyue did not have the capability to win this project, so she made this move on purpose. Others thought that someone envied Wen Shuyue and deliberately ruined her project.
All in all, there was much gossip, and only Wen Shuyue and Xiaolu were really worried.
“Miss Wen, I have checked the monitoring. No one’s ever been in the office. I’m the only one here.” Xiaolu came in dejectedly, looking pale.
If Wen Shuyue failed to find the real culprit, all the responsibility would be on her, which was clear to both Xiaolu and Wen Shuyue.
Wen Shuyue patted her on the shoulder and said, “don’t worry, there must be a way out.”
“Miss Wen, don’t you blame me? If it were not for me, all your efforts would never have been in vain.” Xiaolu felt more and more guilty. She had thought Wen Shuyue would blame her, but what she got was comfort.
“Even if I were here, the computer would still be hacked, so it doesn’t matter much to you.” Wen Shuyue shrugged and said.
