The fact that he could say such words was actually within Mei Shu’s expectations.

Song Yan’s handling skills were outstanding when he was with Shen Yuan. Such a person could do good deeds, but the consequences of doing wrong things were immeasurable.

Mei Shu carefully considered and said, “I do need an extra hand here, but let’s be clear. Whatever I ask you to do, you must do it. No more, no less, and it must meet my standards.”

Song Yan’s eyes lit up. “So you mean you agree to hire me?”

Mei Shu nodded. “Although you made mistakes in the past, your intention wasn’t to force that girl. You still had some bottom line. Since you’ve already accepted legal punishment and want to start anew, I can give you this chance. But if you cause trouble again, don’t blame me for not showing mercy first.” “I understand, Mei Shu, rest assured,” Song Yan said eagerly. “Although I’m not a saint, I’m not a villain either! I will absolutely obey your orders in the future! I believe you’ll help me maintain my bottom line, and I won’t touch anything you forbid!”

“That’s good,” Mei Shu said, satisfied. She was about to give him some more instructions when her phone buzzed in her pocket.

Mei Shu had no choice but to answer the call.

“Where are you?” Lu Si’s anxious voice came through the receiver.

Mei Shu coughed awkwardly. “I’m having dinner outside.”

“I just took you back to the hospital last night, and you promised me you’d focus on recovering in the ward after watching the match.” Lu Si’s voice was heavy, carrying a hint of warning.

Mei Shu lowered her voice to explain, “I really have something important at the company today! We’re in the middle of an important project, and I can’t relax.”

Lu Si took a deep breath, trying to soften his tone as much as possible. “I’ll come pick you up.”

Mei Shu refused immediately, “No need, I have a client meeting. The driver will take me back later.”

Lu Si ignored her words and said, “Client? You’re at Shunde Restaurant on Yanghu Alley No. 6? Which private room?”

“How did you know?” Mei Shu forgot about her leg pain at this moment, rushing to the window to see a man standing next to her car downstairs.

Lu Si listened to the noises over the phone while looking up, coincidentally spotting Mei Shu’s face.

“Hold on,” he said, then hung up directly and strode over with long steps.

Mei Shu’s heart sank, thinking, “This is bad.”

Seeing her anxious expression, Song Yan walked over curiously and looked downstairs again, but he saw nothing.

“What’s wrong, President Mei?” he asked.

Mei Shu gave him a glare, then swiftly strode to the chair and sat down.

But upon careful consideration, she found it not enough. Furrowing her brow, she pointed to a chair in the distance and said, “Move that over here, place it in front of me.”

Song Yan obediently complied, and Mei Shu propped her injured leg on the chair, trying to make it look like she was still taking care of herself despite ignoring Lu Si’s demand, which eased her expression.

Song Yan sat back down, puzzled, and asked again, “President Mei, are you really okay?”

“I’m fine!” Mei Shu forced a smile. “If anyone asks later, just say the driver brought me up here himself. Got it?”

Song Yan nodded blankly.

Just as they finished their discussion, the door that wasn’t properly closed was pushed open with a creak, and the light from outside was suddenly blocked by a tall figure.

Lu Si stood expressionless in the doorway, glancing at Song Yan before focusing on Mei Shu’s leg. “Shu’er, is this what you sneaked out of the hospital for?”

Mei Shu forced a smile, “Alt Si, we really have legitimate business to discuss. You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Why don’t you sit down and eat with us?”

Lu Si sat down beside her expressionlessly, casting a disdainful glance at the food on the table, “Do you just eat these?”

Song Yan promptly stood up and said, “Let me call the waiter over. Mei He, President Mei, feel free to order whatever you like. This meal is on me.”

Lu Si looked at him, his tone cold, “Song Yan, just out of prison and already finding Shu’er, bored of living?”

Song Yan quickly bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, Master Si, I really didn’t know Miss Mei Shu was injured. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to disturb President Mei at this time!”

Lu Si snorted and said coldly, “No need to order. You’d better pray that Shu’er’s injury doesn’t worsen because of you, or I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison!”

Song Yan couldn’t help but shiver, cold sweat soaking half of his clothes. “Master Si, if President Mei’s injury worsens because of me today, I will proactively apologize to you and President Mei!”

“Get lost,” Lu Si said, not bothering to look at him again.

Song Yan gave Mei Shu a deep bow and then wisely left.

The room was now left with only the two of them.

Feeling the awkward silence, Mei Shu cleared her throat and spoke first, “Sorry for leaving the hospital without telling you, causing you to worry. I won’t do it again in the future.”
