Chapter 379: Should It Be Told to Song Yansheng or Kept Hidden
About twenty minutes later, Shi Jiaojiao arrived at the place where Shi Yuanbo was dining with his old friend.
Shi Yuanbo introduced her as his daughter. Although Shi Jiaojiao’s work abilities weren’t exceptional, she was adept at winning people over.
She immediately greeted the other party politely and warmly, calling out "Uncle Li" with exceptional familiarity!
The friend asked if Shi Jiaojiao had had lunch and invited her to join them, but she declined.
She smiled and said, "Uncle Li, there’s no need. I mainly came today because my father had mentioned you before, and I admire you greatly, so I wanted to see you in person!"
Shi Yuanbo’s friend, a somewhat well-known figure in the cultural circle, felt flattered hearing this from the younger generation and couldn’t stop praising Shi Jiaojiao.
Shi Jiaojiao feigned a complimentary and obedient demeanor, but in her heart, she just wanted to get things done quickly and leave!
Accompanying Shi Yuanbo and "Uncle Li" for a while and exchanging various nonsensical topics, Shi Jiaojiao finally found an excuse to make a call to her mother, Li Guirong.
She said she’d previously arranged with Li Guirong to go for a beauty treatment that afternoon, but had forgotten.
Then she used the excuse of a dead phone battery to successfully borrow Shi Yuanbo’s phone.
After unlocking the phone, Shi Jiaojiao quickly looked through Shi Yuanbo’s contact list and soon found Song Yansheng’s number.
She sent that number to herself, deleted the record, and then pretended to make a call to Li Guirong.
The call lasted less than a minute before she returned the phone to Shi Yuanbo and excused herself, saying she had other matters to attend to.
After leaving the restaurant, Shi Jiaojiao turned on her own phone and saw the number lying in it, a cold smile playing at the corner of her lips.
She quickly saved the number and then sent those photos she’d taken earlier of Shen Zui and Shi Nuan kissing.
To her, those photos were a stinging pain; every glance was a wound to herself!
But thinking about what Shi Nuan would face when returning to Song Mansion tonight, she inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure!
Shi Nuan, this time I refuse to believe I can’t destroy you!
...
But Shi Jiaojiao didn’t know that very few people had access to Song Yansheng’s private number.
Even Shi Yuanbo only had Song Yansheng’s public work number saved on his phone.
When a call went through, the first to receive the message was Song Yansheng’s assistant, Chi Rui.
Song Yansheng received a call from Chi Rui early this morning. At that time, it was nighttime in America, and he told Chi Rui to rest for the night and return the next morning.
And at that moment in America, it was midnight. Chi Rui, needing to catch an early flight the next day, had already gone to bed.
But then his work phone suddenly rang. He awoke immediately, being quite alert.
And then, he saw those photos.
Chi Rui instantly frowned, feeling momentarily lost about what to do.
Should he tell Song Yansheng, or keep it a secret...
But he knew even if he tried to hide it, it probably wouldn’t be long before it couldn’t be hidden anymore...
And if so, he might even face punishment or dismissal by Song Yansheng...
Chi Rui had worked with Song Yansheng for many years and understood his nature; minor issues would be brushed off with a laugh, but anything regarding Shi Nuan...
Regarding Shi Nuan, that was of paramount importance!
Chi Rui frowned and thought for a moment before finally picking up the phone to call Qiao Yichi.
At that time, Qiao Yichi had just finished a dinner and was planning to return to the office. He answered the call without hesitation when it rang.
As soon as the call connected, Chi Rui’s voice came through.
He said, "Mr. Qiao, there’s been an incident..."
