Yuan Shu felt that this conversation was very familiar, as if she had seen this scene somewhere before. She couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Shi Xiao suddenly looked at her and asked softly, “Yuan Shu, what do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu came back to her senses. She didn’t know which stage the conversation was at, so she could only say, “This is President Shi’s matter, so it’s not convenient for me to interfere. 1 still have work to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Yuan Shu left in such a hurry that she didn’t even hear Shi Xiao call her.
As Lin Xi watched Yuan Shu leave, smugness appeared in her eyes.
Shi Xiao wondered if Yuan Shu was jealous.
Yuan Shu needed to find a place to think about things quietly. After she came out, she didn’t return to the office. Instead, she went to the rooftop to get some fresh air.
As she stood on the 32nd floor, she looked into the distance. The tall building in front of her was like a mirage that kept changing its appearance but suddenly became real, making Yuan Shu feel a little dazed.
She suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Yuan Shu had indeed seen the conversation between Lin Xi and Shi Xiao just now, in the book.
Yuan Shu recalled the plot of the book. In the original plot, Yuan Shu had done many evil deeds and even framed Lin Xi out of jealousy. In the end, because she played tricks on Lin Xi and the male protagonist many times, she ended up dying a miserable death.
Everything Yuan Shu had done in this world in the beginning was to prevent these things from happening.
Later on, when she found out that this was all Jiang Chen’s plan, she thought that the plot had nothing to do with her anymore, and that her fate wouldn’t follow the plot in the book anymore.
In particular, there were too many things that Yuan Shu didn’t know about later on. She felt that the plot of this world had already changed, so she wanted to fade out of the main plot and keep a low profile while living freely in this world.
However, Lin XiaCTMs appearance today alarmed her.
In the original plot, Lin Xi suddenly regained her speaking ability and entered the Shi Corporation to become Shi Xiao’s assistant. Later on, a series of events happened.
In other words, even if the direction changed, the story was still developing towards the plot in the book. Did that mean that Yuan Shu’s ending wouldn’t change either? In the end, even if it didn’t happen the same way as in the book, it would still happen in another form?
In that case, she would definitely die!
She suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. No matter how much she tried to hide, she was only a part of the plot in the book. Even if the development of the story in the book went out of control, she couldn’t stay out of it. Her only advantage now was that she knew more of the plot than others did, so even if some things had already changed, she could still protect herself according to what she knew.
Yuan Shu recalled the description in the book carefully. Since everything started when Lin Xi entered the Shi Corporation, it all depended on whether Shi Xiao would agree to Lin Xi’s request.
If the result was the same, at least she could be certain that everything in the book would happen.
This was because after Lin Xi entered the Shi Corporation, something that damaged Yuan Shu’s vitality greatly happened.
As soon as Yuan Shu returned to her office, she received a notice in her email. It was a notice that Lin Xi had become Shi Xiao’s assistant. She didn’t know how Lin Xi convinced Shi Xiao, but Shi Xiao actually agreed to her request. Now, Lin Xi was a special administrative assistant.
Then, the next plot would be the leak of the company’s internal secrets, and all evidence would point to Yuan Shu.
However, other than being in charge of the technical department’s work content, Yuan Shu had never come into contact with any other department’s work. In that case, what was the internal secret in the book referring to?
At this moment, Yuan Shu had already forgotten that there was a subsidiary company of the Shi Corporation that was being eyed covetously.
Yuan Shu was still thinking about it when her phone suddenly rang. After she picked up the phone, Zhang Zhang’s cheerful voice sounded. “Sister Yuan Shu, can we hang out? The Peak of the Sky has been renovated. I heard that they invited a Michelin chef. Let’s call Shi Lu over to eat together!”
Yuan Shu liked Zhang Zhang’s carefree personality and couldn’t bear to disappoint her, so she agreed.
When the three of them met up, the sun had already set and the entire street was very lively.
At this moment, there weren’t many people at the Peak of the Sky. Jazz music was playing in the hall, and the aroma of food filled the air.
Zhang Zhang chose the seat closest to the stage. It was also the seat that they wanted to sit in last time, but Shi Xiao snatched it first..
