But it was obvious that he deliberately kept the sound of typing on the keyboard low so as not to disturb her sleep.
Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes and twirled the blanket on her body with her fingers, thinking back on the events of the past few days, as if one thing was coming one after another like a violent storm, leaving no time for anyone to take a breath.
The originally peaceful life seemed to have been completely overturned suddenly.
Vaguely, Shi Xiaonian felt something strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
On Gong Ou's birthday, she learned that she had compromised with the Gong family, something happened to her father, everything happened with Xi Yu, and there was a loophole in the NE system. Everything happened unrelated, but they all happened together, catching people off guard.
…
As soon as Gong Ou returned to China, he worked tirelessly to fix the loopholes and apologized to the public. Because it involved financial losses for users, relevant government departments also intervened, and finally arrested several NE executives.
All these matters were resolved by Gong Ou in just three days, and his vigorous and resolute actions were impressive.
It’s just that countless money was lost in the process.
It's an astronomical number.
When money evaporates, it doesn't matter if you just treat it as a loss of wealth to eliminate disaster.
But just when Shi Xiaonian thought everything had cleared up, NE started a new wave of rumors.
Gong Ou insisted that the insiders had not been completely eliminated, so he forced the people below him to work overtime, eat and sleep in the company, and strictly inspect communication equipment. Such actions quickly made the people below him angry.
The people below privately called Gong Ou a tyrant.
An autocratic tyrant.
Even with the high salary, some people couldn't bear it anymore and submitted their resignations one after another. However, as soon as the resignations were submitted, they were even more suspicious by Gong Ou, and the approval was not issued. What they received was a deeper investigation and review.
Then the staff became even more angry, and then Gong Ou felt guilty in his eyes, and became even more angry.
Such a vicious cycle.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't do anything to help Gong Ou. In order to soothe the grievances within NE, she and Feng De worked hard to improve everyone's dining standards and accommodation conditions, and would not let everyone just sleep on cold chairs.
But this approach has had little effect.
Once, Shi Xiaonian personally served afternoon tea from upstairs to downstairs. Her legs were sore from running. As soon as she turned around and knelt down to pick something up, she heard someone talking sarcastically -
"The president gave me a slap, and the president's fiancée gave me dates. You really know how to be a good person."
"I can't stay any longer. If I wasn't afraid that the president would check me out, I wouldn't want to stay any longer."
"That's right. Talents like us can't go to big companies. In the past, the company was under a lot of pressure, but at least we could take a breather. Now it's better. The president will almost hang us."
"My wife even suspects that I'm having an affair. I'm afraid that if I don't come home, my wife will be having an affair."
"Hey, do you think the president seems to be getting more and more harsh?"
"Not only has he become harsh, he is simply unkind. Hey, do you think the president understands what it means to be humane? He keeps his fiancée by his side every day and doesn't care about us? The Chinese New Year will be celebrated in a few days, okay!"
"Stop talking. My dad is in the intensive care unit. I can't even go and see him. I only called him two days ago. I don't even know how he is doing now. Wow."
Shi Xiaonian squatted there and slowly stood up.
When they saw Xiao Nian, she hadn't left yet. Everyone was frightened and kept silent. They lowered their heads and went to work at their desks.
The only sounds heard at the scene were typing on the keyboard and flipping through documents.
Shi Xiaonian was even more embarrassed than them, her eyes were gloomy, she turned and left without saying anything.
Turning around, I saw Feng De standing at the corner, and he obviously heard it.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Shi Xiaonian and Feng De were walking in the quiet corridor. Shi Xiaonian turned the ring on her ring finger and said, "Feng Butler."
"Yes, Miss Xi."
Feng De nodded.
"Let those employees who have seriously ill family members at home or are sick go back. Don't force yourself to stay in the company." Shi Xiaonian said in a low voice.
"The young master will not allow it."
"But if this continues, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later." Shi Xiaonian said. Ever since she knew that Gong Ou's condition had become serious, she felt like she was hanging in the air, not knowing when she would fall down.
"Don't worry, Miss Xi, I will go to express my condolences to those families in person."
Feng De thought she was worried about the families of the employees.
"I'm talking about Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian stopped and turned to look at Feng De's kind face, "Butler Feng, you and I are willing to stay with Gong Ou, no matter what he wants us to do, We all would not hesitate. But not in NE, everyone is paid to live, and the relationship with him is just that of employee and boss. Even if you are loyal to him, you will be troubled by his distrustful and suspicious behavior. cold."
The people at the NE headquarters are all the elites among the elites. People like this are always arrogant. How can they stand being locked up in the company for several days in a row
Hearing this, Feng De sighed softly, "Miss Xi, I'm worried about this too. The young master's temper seems to be getting more and more out of control."
Suspicion, jealousy, and arbitrary behavior.
No matter how high a person is, he needs the foundation under his feet to be unbreakable. Once the foundation collapses, the person will fall down.
"It's as if his disease is being pushed forward step by step, heading in an increasingly unpredictable direction."
Shi Xiaonian leaned against the wall, her hands behind her back against the cold wall. Her long hair hung down on the side of her face, covering her gloomy look.
"Push forward step by step?"
Feng De was curious about her statement.
"Gong Ou's temper was not so extreme before. It was only after I was imprisoned by the Gong family that he slowly changed. That's why he regretted his marriage in public."
Shi Xiaonian whispered, "I noticed it at that time, so I tried hard to control everything that would aggravate his condition, maintain peace in the world, and not let him fight with anyone. I wanted him to put those things away. I thought it would be effective if I took back the abandoned family ties little by little and made him less extreme."
“…”
"As a result, he and Qianchu had a tit-for-tat confrontation in Italy, and so many things happened at his birthday party. I didn't think it was anything at first. But now seeing how he treats NE Shangxia, I think his illness must be because of this incident. Things got aggravated again.”
These are extremely subtle changes. If Shi Xiaonian hadn't been paying attention to Gong Ou all the time, he wouldn't have discovered the inner connection.
"Miss Xi is so attentive."
Feng De had to admit that even though he was as meticulous as he was, he didn't find any connection here. He only felt that the young master's condition was getting worse and worse, his temper was getting worse, and he always felt that the people below them were spying on them. Miss.
Hearing Feng De's heartfelt appreciation, Shi Xiaonian smiled bitterly, "So what if you are careful? I found out what caused his condition to worsen, but I couldn't treat him. I also read a lot of books, but I Why can’t you be as capable as Mona?”
"Miss Xi, don't worry, there will always be someone who can cure the young master."
Feng De can only say this.
Mona's skills in the field of psychology cannot be learned by reading a few books.
"Hopefully, I'll go over and accompany him." Shi Xiaonian said nothing more to Feng De and turned around to leave.
…
Shi Xiaonian cooked her own specialty dishes and brought them to the key department. Sunlight streamed in from the large windows, and the tension inside was even worse than outside.
The most elite people are here, and they are checking the communication equipment of various employees.
Piles after piles were piled up on the ground.
The heating inside is not turned on very much, and everyone is trying to work hard.
Gong Ou is sitting in the innermost seat, also checking. His shirt is flat and meticulous. He is sitting in front of several computers, his eyes wandering on the computer screen, recording something while watching.
He hasn't had a good rest for several days.
"Miyao, let's have lunch. Everyone, let's take a rest and go have lunch."
Shi Xiaonian's arrival was undoubtedly an amnesty for everyone. Everyone turned to look at Shi Xiaonian gratefully, stood up from their seats,
Gong Ou raised his head and looked forward with cold eyes. He saw several men staring straight at Shi Xiaonian without blinking. His anger rose, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes, " Eat whatever you want! Who allowed you to leave? Just stay for lunch!"
"Yes, President."
My heart, which had just started to surge, suddenly dropped to the bottom, and I couldn't even eat a good lunch.
hehe.
They were forced to work 18 hours a day, and only eat, sleep, and wash themselves in 6 hours. They thought they were ironclad.
Everyone sat back down in silence, and everyone's face showed that they dared to be angry but dared not speak.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian silently walked to Gong Ou with the tray and looked at him with a smile, "Okay, everyone has worked very hard, let them go out to eat."
"It's natural to work with a salary. Why is it so hard?" Gong Ou said coldly, his eyes darkened, and he stared at her and said, "Which man do you still want to talk to and plead for?"
Is it the crew cut, the boy-female man, or the man sitting in the second position
Shi Xiaonian was stunned by the question and stood there blankly, speechless.
He had always suspected that others were plotting against her, but now he also suspected her
The people next to me didn't dare to turn their heads, but they all listened with their ears pricked up.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian did not argue with Gong Ou, and remained silent, digging her fingers into the tray in her hand, her fingertips turning white.
Gong Ou stared at her coldly, his eyes falling on her little movements. He suddenly realized what he had said, his face was a little stiff, and his voice was stiff and authentic, "Put down the tray, I will eat."
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian nodded and said nothing, as if indifferent to what he just questioned. He put the tray in front of his table with a smile and handed her the chopsticks, "Eat, drink more soup, I'll make this soup." It’s been a long time.” (To be continued)
