Since hearing Chen Lishu's words, Wu Xiaohong had been in a daze. She didn't know how she had explained the matter, but as she left, she could feel the subtle contempt in the eyes of the people watching her.
After Wu Xiaohong left, the crowd that had gathered also dispersed. The Zhanguan Bookstore's business became even more lively. Chen Lishu also took the opportunity to summon Zhou Kun and formally handed over the responsibility of the bookstore to him.
Seeing that he could study and earn money, and that his mother's legs were gradually improving, with everything developing in a good direction, all thanks to Chen Lishu, Zhou Kun knelt down with red eyes, tears welling up, and said, "General Manager Chen, I will never forget your great kindness. If you ever need anything, I will help you through fire and water!"
Chen Lishu quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Kun up and earnestly advised him, "Study hard and achieve something. That is the greatest reward for me."
Zhou Kun nodded and responded with a resolute "Mm."
The bookstore matter was temporarily settled. Chen Lishu decided to focus all her energy on the ham sausage factory.
The next day, when she arrived at the company, Han Liang came to her with a joyful expression and said, "General Manager Chen, good news, great news! Our ham sausages have dominated the street vendor market, and supermarkets are offering considerable profits and seeking cooperation. Yesterday alone, our company's doorstep was almost trampled flat."
It seemed that the path in the food industry was quite smooth. Chen Lishu's lips couldn't help but curve upwards. Before she could feel happy, a security guard in uniform walked over.
He said, "General Manager Chen, there's a woman outside who says she's your relative and wants to visit."
Relative? Chen Lishu frowned and asked, "What's her name?"
"It seems to be Li Na."
Last time she had almost caused Li Na's death. Logically speaking, the two were in a state of irreconcilable conflict. She had originally thought that Li Na's offer to visit her company during their last meal was just polite talk. She never expected Li Na to take it seriously.
Chen Lishu's first impression was that Li Na's visit was ill-intentioned. However, before their relationship completely broke down, she couldn't make things too awkward. So, she could only say, "Let her in."
"Yes!" the security guard replied in a low voice before turning to walk outside the company.
About four or five minutes later, Li Na was led in by the security guard.
As soon as she saw Chen Lishu, Li Na complained impatiently, "Lishu, your company's employees have terrible attitudes. I already told them I'm your sister, and they still made me wait so long downstairs. Hiring such impolite employees, your company is probably not far from closing down. I was wronged in your company today, so you have to fire these employees with bad attitudes! If this gets out, people will gossip about you mistreating relatives."
The security guard had done nothing wrong; everything was handled according to regulations. These were people she had painstakingly trained with her time and money, and she wouldn't give them up because of Li Na's unreasonable attitude.
She frowned and replied calmly, "It's their job. If you feel the rules are inconvenient, we can change them later, but it's not enough to fire them. Sister, you wouldn't be so petty as to argue with a few security guards, would you?"
Li Na's reputation was already bad enough. How could she allow Chen Lishu to slap such a label on her? She immediately lowered her arms crossed over her chest and argued, "Of course not. It's your company's internal affair anyway. I'm just kindly reminding you. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
Chen Lishu wasn't in the mood to argue with her about this. She got straight to the point and asked, "Didn't you find a job? It should be working hours now, why are you at my company?"
Getting to business, Li Na quickly sat up straight and then looked around the environment, murmuring, "Didn't I say last time that I would visit your company to get some help for my own work?"
"Is that so?" Chen Lishu narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Li Na with a questioning gaze.
When Li Na met Chen Lishu's eyes, she felt as if her thoughts were being seen through. She guiltily looked away, swallowed, and said, "Naturally. I have already found a suitable job, and from now on, we will mind our own business. You don't have to worry about me doing anything detrimental to you."
Chen Lishu withdrew her probing gaze and said calmly, "Then I'll give you a tour myself and introduce you to our company's structure?"
Upon hearing this, Li Na quickly shook her head and refused, "No need, no need. You go ahead with your work, I'll just wander around on my own."
"Alright." A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Lishu's face. She readily agreed to this. Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind her, "If you need anything, you can find Han Liang to resolve it. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't spend more time worrying about you."
Li Na was eager for her to leave quickly so she could carry out her plan. This time, she surprisingly didn't pick a fight with Chen Lishu, unaware that her uncharacteristic behavior had completely exposed her intentions.
----
Chen Lishu returned to her office. Su Nian, who had been silent all along, finally found an opportunity and said, "Madam, I think Li Na is here with ill intentions. How can you rest assured leaving her alone outside? What if something happens?"
Chen Lishu placed her hands crossed under her chin and said leisurely, "If I don't leave, how can she make her move with peace of mind? Li Na's identity is rather special, and sometimes it's difficult for her to take the initiative. She can only be in a passive state. Instead of always having to guard against this family making small moves behind our backs and instigating Li Xiulan to do incomprehensible things, it's better to catch them all in one go! Bafeng Novel. The entire company is filled with cameras, and everything she does will be recorded. I need this evidence to show Li Xiulan the true face of Li Na's family!"
Right, there were cameras too! Su Nian had almost forgotten about this high-tech existence.
Chen Lishu opened her computer and brought up the surveillance footage. Soon, Li Na's figure appeared on the screen.
On the other side, Li Na cautiously looked around. After confirming no one was present, she carefully took a bottle out of her bag. She opened the bottle, reached her hand in, and scooped out a viscous liquid. She then smeared the liquid onto the machines. Not only on the machines, but also on some food packaging. If they didn't intervene soon, the losses would be severe!
