Ye Shu got out of the car and was still in a daze.

She was about to go upstairs when her phone suddenly rang.

“When are you coming back? Ye Xun is hungry!” Lu Fen’s voice came from the phone.

Hearing Lu Fen’s voice, Ye Shu felt her heart settle down.

When Ye Shu heard that his precious son was hungry, he quickly replied, “I’m already downstairs. I’ll go up immediately!”

Lu Fen nodded and asked, “How’s your dad?”

Ye Shu was stunned for a moment before saying, “I just got off the phone with the lawyer. Dad’s matter has been settled.”

“If nothing goes wrong, he will be released soon.”

“What about those who hurt him?” Lu Fen asked agitatedly. “Will they be punished?”

“Mom, if there’s no evidence, the lawyer can’t do anything about it,” Ye Shu said helplessly.

“How can there be no other way! He’s obviously injured!” Lu Fen still refused to give up.

Ye Shu suddenly regretted telling her mother too much.

“Then, when can I visit him?” Lu Fen sounded a little aggrieved.

Ye Shu gritted her teeth and said helplessly, “Mom, you’re not on his meeting list.”

Sure enough, in the next second, a sob came from the receiver.

Ye Shu sighed. She was used to his mother’s fragility. However, she did not have the energy to care for her mother.

With all the things that had happened that day, Ye Shu felt that she had enough on her hands.

Initially, she was worried that Qiao Heng would cause trouble for her again. Ye Shu thought that she would resign from President Xing’s company once she had an update about her father.

After all, it was better to leave such a dangerous place as soon as possible.

This was the result of her discussion with Mu Xiao.

If Qiao Heng was really in cahoots with Manager Tang, he might cause trouble for her in the future. As for CEO Xing, Ye Shu also planned to tell him everything she knew when she left.

But she had been “kidnapped”. Although the “kidnapper” did not have any ill intentions and even provided her with a well-paid job.

However, Ye Shu felt that there must be something amiss. Recalling the situation, Ye Shu still felt her scalp going numb.

…

“Sir, I don’t think I’m capable enough to be a personal assistant.” Ye Shu refused without hesitation.

She had no interest in being a personal assistant. Besides, this man looked very smart.

She did not know what the other party was up to. How could she agree to be a personal assistant so hastily?

“Miss Ye is currently working at CEO Xing’s company. I don’t think it’s going well.” The man ignored Ye Shu’s rejection and continued talking.

“Besides, your father is still in prison. It should be some time before he comes out.”

“If he really gets hurt again…”

Ye Shu heard the man’s words and her eyebrows jumped. “Are you in cahoots with Manager Tang?”

“Manager Tang? What Manager Tang?” The man seemed to be a little confused. Then, he said, “Oh.”

“You’re talking about the manager who wants to take over the Qi Corporation’s investment project by any means possible, aren’t you?” the man said with a mocking smile.

Seeing that Ye Shu was still looking at him warily, the man straightened his expression and said, “I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself.”

“Hello, Miss Ye. I’m the former head of the Qi Group, Qi Zhan.”

Hearing the man’s self-introduction, Ye Shu stood up from the sofa.

“CEO Qi? You’re CEO Qi?” Ye Shu looked at the man in disbelief.

Qi Zhan was a formidable character who commanded the entire business world back then.

Although Ye Shu did not live in the aristocratic circle, she was familiar with the changes in the upper-class society due to her mother’s infatuation with her father.

Qi Zhan was a formidable character that his father wanted to curry favor with but was unable to.

There were even some who said the Ye family had leapfrogged into the fifth richest family in the city by participating in a small project of the Qi family.

Ye Shu’s understanding of Qi Zhan mostly came from her best friend, Mu Xiao, who was a fan of Qi Zhan.

Ye Shu could not hide her excitement. She thought to herself that she would definitely be envied by Mu Xiao when she returned!

However, Ye Shu realized there was a problem. “You just asked me to be your son’s personal assistant. Isn’t that…”

“Yes! It’s my son, the current CEO of the Qi Group, Qi Heng!” Qi Zhan’s smile deepened as he spoke..
