Chapter 72: Private Schedule

Xing Linlin’s eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
However, this alone was not enough. She had to find more favorable evidence. Not only did Xing Linlin want to ruin Xing Shu’s reputation, but she also wanted to destroy Nie Xi who had always had it in for her.
Xing Linlin said, “Brother Xing, then you have to persuade Xing Shu. With such a friend, she’ll be led astray easily.”
Xing Zewu’s eyes were filled with mockery. It was said that birds of a feather flock together. No wonder Xing Shu was becoming more and more imprudent.
Xing Linlin lowered her head and sent a message to the trolling team she worked with: “Get a private investigator to investigate Nie Heng and Nie Xi. I suspect that they have an affair. This is also a scoop for you, right? Don’t worry, the commission will definitely be generous.” This team had worked with her for many years and had received a lot of benefits from her. They practically treated her words as an imperial edict. They immediately put two private investigators to work after receiving Xing Linlin’s message.
However, Xing Linlin felt that this was not enough. If she wanted to marry into the Cheng family, she had to get Cheng Xingyang and Xing Shu to annul their engagement sooner. Or rather, she had to make Xing Shu disappear!
Xing Linlin sent a message to Feng Jian: “Feng Jian, I just received news that
Xing Shu’s participation in that auction seems to be related to Cheng Lang.”
Feng Jian was not a direct descendant of the Feng family. Although she did not have much status in the Feng family, she had never lacked money since she was young, and was rather ditzy. Feng Jian went to work at Cheng Corporation Group because she had been hoodwinked by Xing Linlin. There was also the fact that she admired Cheng Lang and wanted to be closer to him. Even if she could only watch from afar, she was content.
Thinking that Xing Shu might have hooked up with Cheng Lang, Feng Jian bolted from her desk. Wasn’t Xing Shu still engaged? How dare she shamelessly hook up with Cheng Lang?! Just then, Xing Linlin sent her another video. The video was very short, and was part of He Ping’s live-stream. In it, Cheng Lang was talking to Xing Shu, and Xing Shu was smiling.
Xing Linlin wanted to mislead Feng Jian by deliberately editing the video in an ambiguous cut. Feng Jian fell for it as expected and sent a few messages cursing Xing Shu: “I’ll kill Xing Shu sooner or later! How dare she have such ulterior motives about Cheng Lang?! How dare she?! I’m telling Jin Yue about this! But before that, I want to teach Xing Shu a lesson!”
When Xing Linlin saw this message, she closed her cell phone smugly. Now, she just had to wait for Feng Jian to make her move. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
The next morning, Xing Shu sensed a resentful gaze the moment she stepped into the office. She looked over and saw Feng Jian in the corner. Feng Jian pursed her lips—held her cell phone tightly—and lowered her head.
Xing Shu frowned, thinking that she got it wrong. It was not until noon when Jian Yaochuan came to her office that the feeling of being spied on became even stronger.
Jian Yaochuan said, “Director Xing, President Ron might be coming over due to Cheng Corporation Group’s impending collaboration with AN Group. He specifically asked to see you and hopes that you can attend the meeting with the President.”
Xing Shu glanced at her schedule. She had her plate full in her current position. Without the help of a manager, she had to deal with many trivial matters herself. She asked Jian Yaochuan, “When is it?”
Jian Yaochuan replied, “In a month. President Ron asked me to pass you a message.”
Xing Shu was puzzled. “What is it?” She was a little surprised. She did not expect Ron to remember a small fry like her.
Jian Yaochuan said, “Ron said that he’s very interested in the three principles you mentioned. He hopes to discuss certain issues with you next time from an ethical point of view.”
The corners of Xing Shut s mouth curled up. That really did sound like Ron. She nodded. “Alright, I’ll be there.”
Jian Yaochuan nodded and flipped through the schedule in his hand. “President Cheng won’t be in Beijing for the next three days. If Director Xing needs anything, you can look for me anytime.” He had told her Cheng Lang’s private schedule openly.
Xing Shu’s hand paused for a moment before she slowly nodded. “Okay.” Three days… She felt a tinge of disappointment…
Xing Shu lowered her gaze and gathered her thoughts. She worked overtime until ten o’clock at night before leaving Cheng Corporation Group. The Cheng Corporation’s building was still brightly lit. City lights shone in perfect boundaries, illuminating the huge window walls. Xing Shu suddenly felt lonely. This concrete jungle was Stygian at night..
