I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 391 Brother Sheng's Secret

Xing Yuyuan: ? ? ?

"I'm not in a relationship!"

"You can't joke like that!"

"You want me to be investigated by the Ministry of the Interior?"

Su Cheng had already noticed something from the subtle changes in Xing Yuyuan's facial features; he had read information that others could not perceive.

Xing Yuyuan thought the matter was well hidden, but that's not actually the case.

"Manager Xing, that's not fair of you. I've already gossiped to you about my promotion, why can't you gossip to me too..."

"I'm not going to report you to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xing Yuyuan found it difficult to speak, and she tried to brush it off by saying, "Didn't I buy you coffee?"

Su Cheng:?
"What do you mean? A cup of coffee will settle this matter?"

"hey-hey."

"Hey my ass, hurry up and tell me, are you dating Brother Sheng?"

"We really didn't talk about it."

"They're about to talk?"

"nor."

"So you like President Sheng?"

"Ok?"

"Just say it openly."

Xing Yuyuan still denied it, and she was telling the truth: "I really haven't been in a relationship!"

"So, do you like President Sheng?"

Xing Yuyuan didn't know how to answer. Would saying she liked it be okay?
Finally, she gave Su Cheng a perfunctory answer to his question, which could be considered her reply: "Company loyalty!"

Oh.

Su Cheng understood.

The two likely have had contact and communication in private.

"How far have things progressed between you two?" Su Cheng pressed.

"We just talk about work-related things."

"Not going to talk about anything else?"

Xing Yuyuan stuck out her tongue: "Let's chat too."

"What did you talk about?"

"It's about your interests, hobbies, and what you usually do."

"So, are you sending a voice message, typing, or just making a phone call?"

Xing Yuyuan thought about it seriously for a moment: "Both?"

Oh.

Su Cheng understood.

Then it's only natural that Sheng Ge and Xing Yuyuan's relationship would develop into something.

It's just that the relationship isn't officially confirmed yet.

Are they still in an ambiguous relationship?
"Did you two have anything inappropriate on the phone?"

Xing Yuyuan: ?

Oh my... Su Cheng, what kind of question is this?!

Why are you asking such detailed questions?

Before Xing Yuyuan could figure out what to say, Su Cheng immediately threw out a second question: "Have you posted any of those cool photos?"

Xing Yuyuan: ? ? ?

A suspicious blush spread visibly from Xing Yuyuan's fair neck upwards, instantly staining her entire cheeks red.

She was already itching to yell at Su Cheng.

This question has absolutely no boundaries.

"No, no, none of that!!"

Xing Yuyuan explained that she and Su Sheng were just having a normal chat.

As for making suggestive phone calls or sending photos, that's definitely not going to happen!
This is so abnormal!

"Manager Xing, don't be angry. Let me tell you, the internal affairs department usually asks this question."

"You're not the Ministry of Internal Affairs, why are you acting like you're interrogating me?"

"I just wanted you to rehearse in advance."

"Isn't that enough to satisfy your curiosity?" Xing Yuyuan glared at Su Cheng: "This is a private matter between him and me. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

Su Cheng had already labeled Xing Yuyuan as her future sister-in-law in her mind.

The fact that Sheng Ge entrusted his Audi to Xing Yuyuan for safekeeping is enough to demonstrate the development of their relationship.

They may not have started flirting yet, but they could start flirting anytime they want.

Xing Yuyuan paused for a few seconds before finally speaking, "But there's a problem. I can't contact him right now. Can you still get in touch with President Sheng?"

Su Sheng told her that she might be transferred for a while, but he didn't say where.

Su Sheng hasn't replied to her messages since last night.

Xing Yuyuan also knew that Su Sheng had met with Su Cheng alone yesterday, but she didn't know what they talked about. She wanted to know if Su Cheng knew anything about the inside story.

"Well... I can't get in touch with him either."

Do you know where you went?

"I don't know either. Didn't he tell you?"

"No." Since Su Sheng didn't say anything, Su Cheng dared not say anything either.

Because Su Cheng knew that this matter was also a secret.

Su Cheng dared not tell her future sister-in-law, "Because my brother helped me, he was exiled to Antarctica by your future father-in-law."

Su Cheng came up with a more reasonable explanation: "Maybe he was seconded by the group to handle some matters, so he needs to keep it confidential and can't bring electronic devices?"

Xing Yuyuan thought about it and realized that it might be possible.
"You know he returned to China from Selamat before the team building event, right? He was probably preparing for this."

Ok?
After hearing what Su Cheng said, it does seem that there is indeed a clue to follow.

Su Sheng had originally planned to go on a team-building trip with her, but he suddenly returned to China and only had time to send her a message after landing.

Su Cheng suggested, "Why don't we check his car? Maybe there's something he left for you?"

"also?"

"Where's the key?"

"They didn't give it to me."

Su Cheng: ???
"How do we see it?"

He said the key was in the second drawer of his office, but I haven't taken it yet; to be precise, I haven't figured out how to get it.

"Why don't you just go and get it?"

"OK?"

"I'll go with you."

"That's fine."

Xing Yuyuan readily agreed.

With Su Cheng going with her, she felt much bolder.

The two first found Su Sheng's secretary, informed him, and were then allowed to enter Su Sheng's office.

The two of them easily took the key.

"Isn't this simple?"

Xing Yuyuan simply replied with a lighthearted, "Hehe, you don't understand."

"Do you need me to come to the garage with you?"

“Of course I need to. It would be strange for me to go into his car alone. What if my colleagues see me?” Xing Yuyuan said confidently.

Su Cheng herself wanted to check Su Sheng's car; who knows, Su Sheng might have left something for her?
Even if nothing was left behind, there's still a possibility of finding evidence that could be detrimental to Old Deng.

For example... a photo of Lao Deng and Su Sheng together?

Or all the evidence about Old Deng's true identity?
"And could you also teach me how to drive?"

"What? You don't have a driver's license?"

"Have."

You have a driver's license but can't drive?

"I can drive it. What I mean is, aren't these high-end cars different from ordinary cars? I'm afraid I won't be able to drive it. Can you teach me how to drive it?"

"also……"

The two sneaked into the underground parking garage and quickly found Su Sheng's Audi A8L by repeatedly testing the key.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to search Mr. Sheng's things as soon as we get in the car?"

"No, you and President Sheng are so familiar with each other."

Xing Yuyuan: ? ? ?

Where is it cooked?

Just like he said.

She and Su Sheng hadn't even exchanged a single, awkward phone call.

Don't you want to know if President Sheng left you anything?

"Then let's be careful and try to keep everything in its original place."

After some searching.

Both of them were quite disappointed.

Su Sheng left nothing for Xing Yuyuan.

Su Cheng didn't find anything of value either.

Among the several lockers, only a small envelope was found, containing a few 1-inch ID photos with a gray background.

"Hey, why did you put President Sheng's photo in your pocket?"

"President Sheng is my idol. I'll take one back and frame it for my bedside."

"no!"

"why?"

"It just doesn't work!"

"Why don't you take one too?"

"I'm not taking it!"

"Take one, take one."

As Su Cheng spoke, he pulled out a bill and stuffed it into Xing Yuyuan's pocket. While Xing Yuyuan was rummaging through her pocket, Su Cheng also hid another bill in his own pocket.

"I won't take it, and you're not allowed to take it either. That's not right!"

"Okay, I'll put it back."

"Uh-huh!"

Xing Yuyuan returned the photo from her pocket to the envelope, and then took the other photo from Su Cheng and put it back in the envelope as well.

When she started counting the photos, she forgot something very important:
"Huh? How many were there originally?"
