Shang Yu nodded and agreed readily: "Okay."
None of them were afraid of him holding them back, and he wasn't afraid either.
Seeing his reaction, the old lady was very pleased. "My little grandson is also very capable."
"That's for sure!"
"Changqing, if there are business trips, you should take them. Try to keep Xiao Sheng from going on trips recently."
Shang Changqing was a little helpless. "Mom, your grandson just got married, are you worrying too much?"
When he got married, she hadn't been this worried.
"No, it's mainly because Xiao Sheng's personality is different from yours. He can't say a single sweet word to coax a girl. If we don't support him from behind, and Yi Ge is also willful, what if my granddaughter-in-law runs away?"
Shang Yu rolled his eyes. "Qin Yige will run away, believe me!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Shang Changqing reprimanded coldly.
Shang Yu scoffed. "If that Secretary Chen by my brother's side isn't transferred away quickly, she'll eventually instigate my brother and sister-in-law's marriage to fall apart."
"Secretary Chen?" The old lady frowned deeply.
Soon, she made a decision. "Any factor that could harm my grandson and granddaughter-in-law's relationship must be avoided. What's more, it's just a secretary? Changqing, call Xiao Ji now and have him transferred back to Xiao Sheng's side!"
Her so-called Xiao Ji was Ji Hengyu, who was once Shang Sheng's capable assistant.
Because of his excellent work ability, Shang Sheng had transferred him to another branch company as vice president.
Shang Changqing hesitated. "Mom, why don't we discuss it with Xiao Sheng first?"
"No need to discuss. I am also a shareholder of the company, and I have the right to speak. When Xiao Ji returns, quickly remove Chen Ling from Xiao Sheng's side!" The old lady's words were forceful.
"Alright, alright, you go rest quickly. I'll call later. Shang Yu, take Grandma back to her room."
"Okay! Your Ladyship, it's time to return to the palace!" Shang Yu supported the old lady's arm and led her towards her room.
The old Madam Shang was coaxed into laughing heartily. "Alright, Grandma isn't so old that she needs to be supported back to her room."
"Grandma, your grandson just wants to help you, please give me a chance!"
"Oh, if your brother was half as good at coaxing people as you are, I wouldn't be so worried about him and Yi Ge."
Shang Yu said, "It's okay, Yi Ge is good at coaxing people, she can make my brother happy."
"But you can't let Yi Ge coax your brother all day long. Once or twice is fine, but if it goes on for too long, Yi Ge won't care about him!" The old lady knew everything clearly in her heart. She understood what kind of people her two children were.
Shang Yu nodded in admiration. Ginger was indeed spicier when it was older.
The old lady sat down on the bed, and she said with relief, "Actually, your brother isn't that dull. I told him to come home before nine to take photos and check in, but I didn't ask him to send me kissing photos with Yi Ge. Your brother has been sending me kissing photos for the past two days. Yi Ge didn't refuse either, which is a good sign."
Shang Yu thought about what happened last night and finally concluded, "It's possible that my brother acted too quickly and suddenly, and that silly Qin Yige didn't react in time before my brother kissed her!"
"You brat!" The old lady was unhappy. "Nonsense. If you don't believe me, look at the photos tonight. The young couple is affectionate!"
Shang Yu nodded. "Okay, okay, affection is best."
They were his own brother and sister-in-law, and he also hoped that these two would be in love for a lifetime.
"But my brother is really sly, he must have used your excuse to take advantage of Yi Ge!"
"What do you mean take advantage? Your brother and sister-in-law are already legally married, and the wedding will be held soon. They are a normal couple, not as lewd as you say."
Shang Yu: "..."
Did he say the word "lewd"?
He hadn't said it. If his brother thought he was badmouthing him, wouldn't he be killed?
After coaxing the old lady and seeing her to bed, Shang Yu returned to his own room.
Up to now, he still found it incredible that Qin Yige married his elder brother.
He had to admit, fate was a strange thing!
On the other side, Shang Sheng, driving Qin Yige's car, did not go home but took her to the company first.
Qin Yige originally wanted to wait for him in the car, but Shang Sheng was unsure of when he would finish, nor did he want her to go home first. She had no choice but to follow him upstairs.
There were only two people in the secretary area. When they saw them coming, the two secretaries greeted them proactively.
Qin Yige smiled and responded.
Entering the office, she couldn't wait to ask, "Your precious secretary..."
The man turned around abruptly and gave her a warning look.
Qin Yige chuckled. "Secretary Chen wasn't guarding you tonight?"
"At the hospital," he replied curtly.
"She's at the hospital?"
"Mm."
"What happened to her?" Qin Yige then remembered what the secretary had called him about last night, saying Chen Ling had an accident.
"Slight external injuries," he explained simply.
Qin Yige was even more curious. "Was she beaten?"
"Mm."
"By whom—"
"Qin Yige!" He interrupted her ten thousand why's.
Qin Yige pouted and snorted. "Fine, if you don't want to be asked."
While he was dealing with emails, she quietly ran outside to the secretary area to gossip.
The male secretary was much more reliable than Shang Sheng, and he told her everything as if it were a live broadcast.
It turned out that Chen Ling was constantly being plied with drinks by Mr. Tong in order to secure a deal with him. Shang Sheng had told Chen Ling to go back first, but she was unwilling and insisted on closing the deal, so she kept drinking.
Chen Ling had a good alcohol tolerance, but even that had its limits.
After she got drunk, she was taken to a hotel room by Mr. Tong and a few others.
When Shang Sheng's secretary took people to rescue Chen Ling, she was severely beaten by Mr. Tong because she resisted.
If their people hadn't arrived in time, who knew what Chen Ling would have gone through last night.
When Qin Yige returned to the office, she was still shocked by some of the words.
Four or five people in a hotel room...
She looked at the man who was busy and inexplicably said, "Shang Sheng."
The man looked up at her, thinking she was rushing him, and while typing, gave her an exact time, "Five minutes."
"No, I mean, I really admire your secretary for being so open-minded, four or five people..." They said, Chen Ling knew there would be danger, but she insisted on staying.
The hands that were typing paused.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's been half a year since I last heard about something like this."
The man said expressionlessly, "Don't inquire about things that are not suitable for children."
"I really admire Secretary Chen. She's so good to you, willing to give herself up for work..." These words weren't spoken by her, but by others to the secretary just now, and then the secretary told her.
She also said that if it weren't for an old man like Mr. Tong, Secretary Chen might have gone along with it, because such things were not uncommon in their industry.
Shang Sheng: "Who told you these things?"
She was truly corrupting a child.
She widened her eyes and retorted, "What? Are you going to fire him?"
