Chapter 246 Enjoy it
Su Li pretended not to hear and rolled her eyes at Song Qianyi. She was Ji Jingshen's secretary, so why should she listen to her?
Ji Jingshen was unaware of the subtle tension between the two. He turned around, opened the office door, and asked Su Li to bring the documents. Su Li then went to fetch them.
Song Qianyi stared at the woman's departing figure, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Wearing heavy makeup in the middle of the night, a low-cut, tight-fitting shirt, a miniskirt, black stockings, and ten-centimeter heels—who would believe she didn't have ulterior motives?
Upon entering the office, Song Qianyi turned on the light, put down her bag, smoothed her skirt, and sat on the soft sofa. She casually picked up a newspaper from under the coffee table and flipped through it, her movements as fluid as if she were at home.
Ji Jingshen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't really like outsiders coming into his office. Even if they were subordinates, they would leave as soon as they finished their business, let alone sit on the sofa or casually rummage through things. He would definitely fly into a rage if they did.
But Song Qianyi was clearly very familiar with this place. A person's aura doesn't lie; in a familiar place, all her actions became unhurried and confident.
Strangely, he didn't seem to mind Song Qianyi doing this.
Ji Jingshen was preoccupied with his own thoughts when he sat down opposite Song Qianyi. He didn't pay much attention to the documents Su Li brought.
Song Ning'an spread out his hand, gesturing for Su Li to give him the documents.
A flicker of panic crossed Su Li's face. She quickly hid the folder behind her back and looked at Ji Jingshen with a troubled expression. "President, this contains company secrets; it's not convenient for Miss Song to see it..."
Song Qianyi's gaze remained fixed on Su Li, taking in her subtle expressions and movements. How could she not guess what Su Li was planning?
The fact that Su Li's resume reached Ji Jingshen shows that she is indeed a talented person, but unfortunately, her mind is not on the right path.
Ji Jingshen frowned, his tone becoming more impatient: "Just give it to me, why all the nonsense?"
Su Li reluctantly handed the folder to Song Qianyi.
The only sound in the large office was the rustling of papers; the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Su Li would occasionally glance at Song Qianyi while secretly observing Ji Jingshen's expression.
Song Qianyi glanced at the document, gave Su Li a meaningful look, and placed it in front of Ji Jingshen. "These are all minor issues. The finance department can fix them by changing the data."
"Why did I have to call you back?" At this hour, the lights were off and the doors were locked on all floors except for the CEO's office, making it easy to do something shady.
The surrounding air pressure dropped to its lowest level instantly.
Su Li knew that Song Qianyi was implying something about her, and felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look up.
Su Li's ulterior motives were obvious. Ji Jingshen closed his eyes in annoyance. She actually used such a flawed little trick. She was incredibly stupid.
"President Ji, keeping such an employee with ulterior motives around will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later. There are plenty of talented people out there. How many people would kill to get a job as soon as the recruitment information is released? What kind of secretary can't we find?"
Song Qianyi's words were no longer a hint, but a blatant demand for Ji Jingshen to dismiss Su Li.
Before Su Li started working, her secretary told her that Ji Jingshen had hired a female assistant. She had seen Su Li's resume and thought she was indeed excellent, so she decided to give her a chance. Unexpectedly, Su Li did not cherish it at all.
Since that's the case, it's better to fire her to avoid causing trouble in the future.
Upon hearing this, Su Li immediately panicked.
"President Ji! It's clearly stated in the contract that I haven't made any mistakes at work, so you can't fire me!"
Song Qianyi said expressionlessly, "It's clearly written in the contract that the company will pay you five times your salary if you are dismissed without cause. Go to the finance department tomorrow to complete the formalities."
Su Li was genuinely terrified at this moment. Song Qianyi was determined to fire her, so she could only place her hopes on Ji Jingshen. Her pleading expression was somewhat sincere: "President..."
"You can go out now," Ji Jingshen said with a stern face.
Su Li was overjoyed. Did this mean she wouldn't be fired? She hadn't expected Ji Jingshen to actually speak up for her, and she felt instantly delighted.
Fearing he might change his mind, Su Li suppressed her smile and, with the air of a victor, stomped out of the office in her sky-high heels.
Now it was Song Qianyi's turn to be unhappy.
If it was understandable that Ji Jingshen didn't see through Su Li's little schemes a while ago and kept her as an assistant, now that everything is out in the open, he is still unwilling to fire Su Li.
What does this mean? It means that he himself is enjoying it!
Perhaps this was the intention behind hiring Su Li into the company in the first place. Otherwise, why would someone who doesn't allow any women to get close to him hire a female secretary for no reason?
Although Ji Jingshen has lost his memory, his personality and personal habits haven't changed at all, so it's clear he did it on purpose.
Seeing that Song Qianyi's expression was off, Ji Jingshen guiltily defended himself, saying, "Su Li is indeed impeccable in her work, and I have no reason to fire her."
"Do you only look at ability and not character when hiring employees? Or do you want Su Li to stay by your side?" Song Qianyi was angry, and her words were inevitably sarcastic.
Ji Jingshen said sarcastically, "There are plenty of women who want to get close to me, unlike you, who only has eyes for Cheng Linhao."
Recalling Cheng Linhao's provocative words from earlier that day, even though he knew they were false, he was still furious. In a moment of impulsiveness, he blurted out without thinking, "As my wife, you've been chasing after Cheng Linhao for so many years, and I haven't said anything, have I?"
Song Qianyi gritted her teeth to hold back her anger. Ji Jingshen had amnesia, and she shouldn't be angry with a patient, but their emotions were currently out of whack, making proper communication impossible.
"Whatever you want." She picked up her bag and left.
"Qianyi..." Ji Jingshen subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but when he stood up he realized what he was about to do. He restrained himself, sat back down and rubbed his temples.
He let out a heavy sigh. He couldn't understand why Song Qianyi was so hypocritical. She herself was still hung up on Cheng Linhao and had done so many outrageous things, while he had only kept Su Li, and she was reacting so strongly.
Once his emotions stabilized, Ji Jingshen reflected on their conversation and realized he had gone too far with his words, so he had no reason to blame her for being angry.
Since their argument that night, Song Qianyi hadn't contacted Ji Jingshen for several days. With Ji Jingshen moving to the company's residence, the two hadn't even had a chance to meet.
The secretary noticed that Ji Jingshen was in a bad mood. This had far-reaching consequences, and the entire company was in a tense atmosphere for several days. Everyone in the department was on edge, and even their voices were lowered unconsciously.
All the documents awaiting approval were sent to the president's office by the secretary, as no one wanted to offend Ji Jingshen at a time like this.
"President, the project team's documents all need to be approved today; they're waiting for the funds to arrive." The secretary brought in a stack of folders.
