“I… There’s no grievance,” Shi Rui whispered.

“Is that so? Then why are you sobbing and coming to Mr. Xia’s office? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Perhaps I can help you solve your issues?” Qiao Mei asked enthusiastically.

“It’s a work matter and it’s not appropriate for you to know,” Shi Rui said.

Qiao Mei nodded in understanding and said, “Oh~ It’s a work matter. Then who’s your superior? Is Mr. Xia your direct supervisor?”

Shi Rui looked at Qiao Mei awkwardly and said, “No… no.”

“If so, then why don’t you go and look for your superior if you need something? You’re overstepping the line here. Does your superior indulge you like this? Also, you’re a member of the Xu family. As your relative, I’m obliged to remind you that you should go to your superior if you need anything. If the issue really cannot be resolved, then get your superior to come and look for Mr. Xia,” Obo Mei said.

She accurately addressed the frustration which everyone felt and many people began to whisper among themselves.

“She just likes to overstep the line! She thinks that she can do whatever she wants just because she’s Mr. Xia’s relative!”

“She should look at herself in the mirror. Mr. Xia doesn’t even want to look at her! He has no time to solve her problems!”

“Sister MO Zhu is still the best. When have we ever worked overtime until so late previously! It’s all because of this woman!”

“People who are not capable should get lost! They only cause trouble for no reason.”

Shi Rui blushed when she heard what everyone said. She had worked here for almost a year, but no matter how she tried to seduce Xia Wen over the past year, he remained unmoved. She really could not understand how she was inferior to MO Zhu! Yet now, even her colleagues said that she was not as good as MO Zhu.

“It’s none of your business who I want to look for! This is our office’s internal issue. What right do you have to say anything here,” Shi Rui said angrily.

Qiao Mei was a little shocked. She had thought that Shi Rui would want to maintain her fragile and weak persona for a long time. She did not expect her to expose her true colors so quickly.

Seeing that Qiao Mei had been aggrieved, Xia Wen quickly walked out of the office and said, “I told her to say that. If you need anything in the future, go and look for your superior. Don’t come to complain to me anymore.”

Seeing this, Shi Rui’s superior quickly went up to Xia Wen and said, “Yes, Mr. Xia. I have noted this. I’ll bring her back to solve her problem now. I’m really sorry.”

After that, Shi Rui no longer had an easy life at work. She had a lot of miscellaneous tasks piled up every day and she no longer had any free time to go and look for Xia Wen.

Qiao Mei hummed a tune as she drove back to the factory happily. On the eve of her return to the capital, Qiao Mei had specially given Deng Fan a call and asked him to buy up all the land next to the factory. She had the intention to expand the factory.

The number of workers in the factory had increased from about 80 at the beginning to nearly 200 now. Qiao Mei walked proudly along the small path that led to the factory. There were many people who were very grateful to her. The salary here was high with good staff benefits. Many people wanted to work here.

After confirming the delivery location and discussing the delivery timing with Lu Huai, Qiao Mei went home to rest with a sense of satisfaction. The next morning, she went with Xia Wen’s subordinate to the customs office to complete the documentation to pick up her goods.

The staff at the customs office searched for a long time but could not find Qiao Mei’s goods. In the end, they concluded that Qiao Mei t s goods were lost.

“Lost? What do you mean by lost? There are so many items on the ship but only my goods are lost?” Qiao Mei questioned.

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? If it’s lost, it’s lost. There’s no other meaning to it,” the staff member said indifferently.

What Qiao Mei bought was big machinery. How could such big items disappear for no reason? There must be something else going on.

Qiao Mei remained patient and said, “Please help me take a look again. How can so many items be lost? Can you go to the warehouse and search carefully?”

Xia Wen’s subordinate also said, “That’s right. These items are very important to us. I hope you can help us take a look again.”

The staff member took a look at the work pass hanging around the neck of Xia Wen’s subordinate and knew that this was someone in quite an important position. In that case, he decided to give this person a hint.

“Your things have long been taken by someone,” the staff member whispered.

“What? Who took it?” Qiao Mei asked in shock. “l won’t be able to know,” the staff member said..
