I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

Shu Zi drove to the Shu Group, parked the car, and walked into the lobby in her high heels.

The receptionist looked up, paused for a moment, and opened her mouth slightly, clearly recognizing her.

"So comfortable!"

Shu Zi raised her index finger and gently made a "shh" gesture to her lips.

The little girl immediately swallowed back the exclamation that was about to come out and nodded vigorously.

Shu Zi smiled at her and walked straight to the elevator.

The young receptionist watched her walk away, outwardly composed, but inwardly she was screaming with rage.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Oh my god! Zizi! It's Zizi! Alive! She walked right in front of her!!!

Although Zizi dressed casually and wore sunglasses and a mask, as a die-hard fan, she still recognized her baby at a glance!

Zizi is at Shu's? So those rumors online are true? Is her baby really the eldest daughter of the Shu family?!

She took a deep breath, pinched her palm hard, and forcibly suppressed the urge to take out her phone and post it on WeChat Moments.

No, Zizi is dressed like this because she doesn't plan to make her schedule public. She can't hold her back.

She silently repeated "I'm a rational fan" eight hundred times in her mind, took another deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the scream.

Calm down, she's a mature adult, she didn't see anything... Ahhhhh, but she saw it!!!

The elevator doors opened with a "ding".

Assistant Liu was carrying a stack of documents as he walked down the corridor when he saw a figure wearing sunglasses and a mask approaching. His professional instincts kicked in, and he instinctively spoke:

"Hello, may I ask you—"

He paused, clearly startled, after recognizing the person, and said, "...Miss Shu?"

Shu Zi pulled her sunglasses down a little, revealing her eyes, and got straight to the point: "Where's Shu Baizhou?"

Liu's eyelids twitched: "...The chairman is in a meeting."

Shu Zi nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to his office and wait for him."

After saying that, she walked past him and headed straight for the chairman's office.

Liu stood there, staring at her retreating figure, stunned for a few seconds, then silently lit a candle for the chairman in his heart.

This doesn't look like someone coming to pay their respects at all.

He hesitated for two seconds, then steeled himself and pushed open the conference room door. He quickly walked to Shu Baizhou's side, leaned down, and whispered:

"Chairman, Miss Shu has arrived."

Shu Baizhou was listening to the report when he heard this, and he was somewhat surprised. But when he glanced at Liu Zhu's expression, which looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy, he was completely bewildered.

"Come on, why are you so nervous?"

Assistant Liu carefully considered his words, his expression complex: "...She doesn't seem like she's here for tea."

Shu Baizhou: "?"

He quickly went through his recent actions in his mind.

He had no debts, hadn't caused any trouble, hadn't said anything out of line, hadn't objected to anything she did, hadn't forgotten to do anything he promised her, and had even tolerated her complaining about his hairstyle in the group chat without arguing back.

Search complete. Conclusion: I don't think I offended anyone.

Shu Baizhou felt relieved, but not entirely at ease.

He paused for a moment, put down his pen, and calmly addressed the people in the conference room: "Let's take a ten-minute break."

Then he got up and left the meeting room.

The people in the conference room exchanged bewildered glances. Someone mustered their courage and leaned close to Assistant Liu, whispering, "What's going on, Chairman Shu?"

Liu Zhu's lips twitched, but he kept his mouth shut as if it were welded shut and didn't say a word.

Those who knew the inside story exchanged a silent glance.

The only people who could get the chairman to take a break at this time, besides his wife, are probably that young lady who has never appeared in the group.

Judging from Liu Zhu's hesitant expression, it was probably the latter.

When Shu Baizhou pushed open the office door, Shu Zi was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, holding a cup of tea, looking as relaxed as could be.

Seeing her posture, Shu Baizhou paused for a moment, then walked in casually and sat down on the single sofa opposite.

"Hey, busy man, what brings you here to inspect our work today?"

Shu Zi put down her teacup, looked at him with a smile, and didn't say anything.

Shu Baizhou felt a chill run down his spine when he saw her smile.

He knows his daughter too well; the sweeter her smile, the bigger the trouble she's in.

"Is something wrong?"

He picked up the thermos on the table and took a sip, trying to use drinking water to cover up his inexplicable guilty conscience.

Shu Zi nodded: "Yes, something's up."

Shu Baizhou's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

Shu Zi leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms, and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone:

"Let's talk about how you exiled my boyfriend to the frontier two years ago."

Shu Baizhou choked on his water, coughed twice, put down his glass, and stood up.

"Um, I just remembered I haven't finished driving yet."

Shu Zi: "Shu Baizhou!"

Shu Baizhou paused, silently sat back down, and forced a fawning smile: "Daughter, let Dad explain—"

"What explanation is there to explain!"

Shu Zi interrupted him:

"Why didn't you think of explaining when you sent that person abroad two years ago? Why didn't you think of explaining when you forbade them from contacting me for two years? Why didn't you think of explaining when I was crying?"

Shu Baizhou opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Shu Zi added insult to injury:

"You said you'd keep it from me, but you even conspired with your whole family to keep it from me! Everyone in the family knew except me! If I hadn't found out myself, how long were you planning to keep it from me?"

She took a deep breath and softened her tone:

"I know you mean well. You think he's young and you're worried that he's not mature enough, that I'll suffer, or that I'll make the wrong choice in a moment of impulse. So you want to test him and train him for two years so that he can prove himself."

I understand your good intentions.

She paused, then raised her voice again:

"But before you make this decision, can't you discuss it with me first? At least you can't hide it from me!"

"You sent him away without a word; did you even consider my feelings?"

Shu Baizhou opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He discovered that she had said all the good and bad things by herself; she was using all his words!

He was silent for two seconds, then obediently lowered his head:

"...Dad was wrong, I'm sorry."

Shu Zi crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin: "I accept your apology."
