Chapter 322: Chapter 322

What is Shi Nuan doing at the company?

Actually, not much, just getting familiar with the environment.

After all, in a few days, she will be working here.

Of course, if she could do a little more, that would be even better.

After Shi Jiaojiao graduated, she came to the Shi Family, but from what Ji Xia learned, she didn’t have any particularly outstanding performance.

Ji Xia said, "But President Shi doesn’t seem to mind. Even if Shi Jiaojiao occasionally makes mistakes, he rarely actually punishes her—President Shi has no intention of handing the company over to Shi Jiaojiao!"

Shi Nuan listened and stayed silent.

She naturally knew that the Shi Family couldn’t possibly be handed to Shi Jiaojiao; not only Shi Jiaojiao, but even she was the same.

Father favored sons over daughters; no matter how capable his daughters were, in his eyes, they were still not as good as a son.

Just like now, with both his biological daughters already adults, yet he’s handing the company’s reins to Yu Dou, who is essentially an outsider?

Shi Nuan really didn’t know where his trust in Yu Dou came from, especially knowing full well that Yu Dou was an ambitious, difficult-to-tame person!

When the elevator doors opened, Shi Nuan was ready to get out but bumped into someone.

That person was Ji Xia.

Ji Xia was startled to see Shi Nuan. She quickly glanced around, saw no one else, and hurriedly stepped back half a step to let Shi Nuan out.

When the elevator doors closed, Ji Xia whispered, "Why are you here?"

Shi Nuan’s gaze did not linger on Ji Xia’s face but instead looked toward the spacious corridor on the top floor, with its uniquely styled decor.

With a smile on her lips, she said, "It’s been a long time since I came here, and it has certainly changed a lot!"

Ji Xia frowned, wanting to say something, but hearing footsteps behind her, she could only respectfully say to Shi Nuan, "Miss Nuannuan, President Shi isn’t at the company today..."

Watching a young woman approach, presumably an assistant or secretary, Shi Nuan glanced at her before turning into an office.

Shi Nuan said, "I’m going to see Yu Dou; I have something to say to him..."

Ji Xia wanted to stop her, but Shi Nuan had already started walking toward the vice president’s office.

Seeing this, Ji Xia quickly followed.

Whispering, she said, "I’ll announce your arrival!"

When Ji Xia knocked and entered Yu Dou’s office, Yu Dou was processing documents. Seeing Ji Xia, he narrowed his eyes, as Ji Xia had just left his office not long ago.

Ji Xia said, "Mr. Yu, Miss Nuannuan... Miss Nuannuan is here to see you!"

Yu Dou’s eyebrows twitched, clearly surprised. He asked, "Where is she?"

Ji Xia stepped aside, and Shi Nuan appeared behind her, expression calm, eyes dark, but the corner of her mouth held a faint smile.

Yet Yu Dou felt the smile was not friendly, but provocative.

After Ji Xia brought in two cups of coffee and left the office.

Although she wasn’t reassured about Shi Nuan, she could do nothing at this moment.

Shi Nuan took a sip of coffee; she knew Ji Xia’s coffee-making skills.

The taste was great, particularly good.

Yu Dou didn’t drink the coffee; instead, he leaned back on the sofa, hands crossed, watching Shi Nuan.

Seemingly waiting for Shi Nuan to speak.

Shi Nuan didn’t intend to waste much time. She put down the coffee cup and said, "You’re Li Guirong’s cousin, but from what I know, your family isn’t that close to her. When your parents passed away and you were nearly starving and sent to an orphanage, Li Guirong didn’t care for you at all. In other words, she only values you now for your little bit of business talent and uses you..."
