The conference room door slowly opened, and the moment Nan Shu appeared in the doorway, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Unlike last time, this time everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Nan Shu ignored the stares and walked straight to Qi Yuye, who was sitting in the main seat, with her laptop.

After handing the laptop to Qi Yuye, Nan Shu's gaze swept over the faces of everyone present.

At the same time, Qi Yuye slowly spoke.

"The reason we invited everyone to this meeting is to showcase Nan Shu's new designs. This series will replace the previous ones and become the main series promoted by Shengda Group."

When Qi Yuye said this, everyone present, except for the few senior executives who knew about it, was shocked.

They looked at each other, somewhat incredulous at the news.

"We're holding this meeting today to prevent a repeat of what happened last time. The purpose of this meeting is to finalize the production and promotion of the new product."

"Next, let our chief designer, Nan Shu, explain the highlights and core design concepts of this product."

Qi Yuye's gaze fell on Nan Shu, his eyes filled with encouragement.

Nan Shu nodded to Qi Yuye, then stood up and personally opened the document she had prepared on the computer.

"This is a new design of mine, which also features traditional Chinese elements, but it is very different from my previous work."

Nan Shu's gentle voice resonated throughout the conference room as she eloquently explained the concept behind her work.

Most people were amazed when they saw Nan Shu's new designs.

Qi Yuye noticed these gazes and felt a surge of pride.

The meeting lasted for an hour. After Nan Shu finished explaining her part, the remaining time was for Qi Yuye to assign tasks to various departments, and for the leaders of each department to give brief speeches.

The meeting finally ended, and it was already noon.

Nan Shu glanced at the time, her mind still preoccupied, and prepared to tell Qi Yuye before heading home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Nan Shu arrived outside Qi Yuye's office, she saw a room full of people standing inside.

Given what's been happening at the company lately, Qi Yuye must have a lot on his plate.

Thinking about this, Nan Shu decided it was best not to disturb Qi Yuye.

She immediately turned to leave, but a voice suddenly rang out.

"Miss Nan, please wait!"

The sound was abrupt and attracted the attention of many people around.

Qi Yuye's newly hired assistant jogged up to Nan Shu and said, "Miss Nan, Mr. Qi has instructed us to invite you to lunch. He said you don't need to worry about your son; he has already arranged for a nanny to take care of him."

Upon hearing the assistant's words, the people around them immediately gave each other a strange look.

Nan Shu felt that these words were inappropriate, but she couldn't explain anything, so she could only speak calmly.

"I understand. Go tell him I'm going back now and that he doesn't need to treat me to a meal. It's all my duty."

Nan Shu didn't want to become the target of everyone's criticism here, and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that Nan Shu was determined to leave, the assistant became anxious and quickly blocked her way, his expression pleading.

"Miss Nan, please don't leave. President Qi gave me orders that if you leave, I'll be fired!"

Upon hearing her assistant's words, Nan Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in her mind.

Would Qi Yuye fire someone so easily for something like this?

He might have acted this way when he was young and impetuous, but now Nan Shu felt that Qi Yuye wouldn't be so unreasonable.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to you."

Nan Shu reached out and patted her assistant's shoulder, her tone full of reassurance.

The assistant's voice was trembling with tears.

"Miss Nan, please help me this time?"

Nan Shu has a gentle personality and usually responds better to kindness than force. Seeing someone pleading with her like this, she felt a little reluctant.

She sighed and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll wait for him here for a while."

"There's a lounge here, let me take you there."

Upon hearing Nan Shu's agreement, the assistant's tone immediately became more relaxed.

Nan Shu followed her assistant to the lounge. Along the way, curious glances kept being cast in her direction, but Nan Shu pretended not to notice and walked slowly with her eyes forward.

After escorting Nan Shu to the lounge, the assistant left, citing other business.

There were some fruits and bottled water on the table, but Nan Shu's stomach and spleen had been a little weak lately, so she couldn't drink water that was too cold.

After waiting in the lounge for a while, Nan Shu felt a little thirsty, so she left the lounge and headed straight for the tea room.

The last time Manager Shi brought her here, they passed by the tea room.

Nan Shu walked slowly, relying on her memory, her gaze sweeping over the doors of each office.

However, the lurking gazes around her were making her feel uneasy, so Nan Shu forced herself to walk quickly.

Upon seeing the sign for the tea room, Nan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Nan Shu was about to go in, a sharp voice rang out.

"Hey, did you hear? It turns out that Nan Shu is actually living with President Qi, and she even brought her son with her!"

"Really?"

Once this topic was brought up, the people around couldn't help but start gossiping.

A commotion broke out in the tea room.

Nan Shu stopped abruptly; she hadn't expected to become the focus of gossip in the company so quickly again.

The people in the break room were completely unaware and continued speaking.

"How could this be false? I heard it from President Qi's assistant today. No wonder President Qi protected her at that meeting before, it turns out there were two of them..."

The woman's deliberate hints shocked everyone around her, who covered their mouths in disbelief as if they had discovered some incredible, earth-shattering secret.

"Could it be that what happened last time wasn't Miss Lin's doing at all, but rather Mr. Qi's attempt to cover it up...?"

As the people inside became more and more outrageous, Nan Shu finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She coughed lightly and walked into the tea room with a cold expression.

Several people noticed her coming in, quickly shut their mouths, and hurriedly left with their water glasses.

Only the woman who was speaking remained oblivious, continuing her enthusiastic analysis.

"You know what? I noticed something was off between Nan Shu and President Qi. She insisted on divorcing him back then, and now she's doing this again. Could it really be like what people are saying, that it's because President Qi took over Shengda Group?"

When the woman finished speaking, no one responded, and she realized something was wrong.

She and one other person were left alone in the entire tea room, and she subconsciously looked to the side.

After seeing the face of the person next to her clearly, the woman was surprised and stepped back, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Miss Nan?"

The woman secretly resented those who were enjoying the gossip the most, even though they had clearly seen Nan Shu come in, but instead of reminding her, they secretly ran away.

"What a coincidence, you're here to get water too?"

The woman tried to steer the conversation away from what had just happened.
