After dinner, Mu Xiao picked up a piece of melon and sat on the sofa with Ye Xun. “Do you know why I introduced you to that company?”

Ye Shu sat on the sofa at the side and was studying Ye Xun’s homework. She asked without looking up, “Why?”

“Because that company has many unmarried men!” Mu Xiao said matter-of-factly.

When Ye Shu heard that, she almost tore her son’s workbook.

She looked up and glared at Mu Xiao, not knowing what to say.

Mu Xiao smirked. “I’m serious!”

“You’ve been raising your son alone for so many years. It must have been tough on you!”

“You should find a man to take good care of you!I told you to find one overseas, but you refused.Since you’re back in the country, you better open your eyes and find a good father for my godson!”

Hearing Mu Xiao’s words, Ye Shu lowered her head slightly with a hint of dejection in her eyes.

“Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about his father?” Mu Xiao pointed at the top of Ye Xun’s head.

Ye Xun seemed to sense Mu Xiao’s actions and reached out to grab her fingers.

“Godma, don’t worry! My mom won’t miss that bad person!”

“She just wants to meet my brother whom she has never met before!”

“Yo! You know quite a lot!” Mu Xiao chuckled as she switched to patting Ye Xun’s little head.

“Of course!” Ye Xun shook his head to avoid Mu Xiao’s “demonic claws”.

…

“Ye Shu, you will be attending an important cocktail party with President Xing tonight. Remember to dress up!” The department manager stood at the office door and said to Ye Shu.

“Me? Me?” Ye Shu hurriedly stood up and asked.

The department manager nodded impatiently.

“Yes! It’s you! Don’t be so surprised! Do you know there are many people who want to go but have no chance!?”

“But I just got here…” Ye Shu said with some difficulty.

“Why? Do you have a problem with the arrangement?”

“No! Of course not!”

The department manager snorted and turned to enter the office, closing the door behind him.

In the next moment, Ye Shu felt everyone’s eyes on her. After entering the company, the people around her were somewhat unhappy, thinking she had breezed into the job. Attending an important function with the company’s president while she was still new was not going to make her popular with her colleagues.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Shu returned to her seat nervously.

After a while, the department manager opened the office door again. “CEO Xing’s secretary will come to pick you up later. You can pack up.”

Ye Shu turned to look at the department manager in surprise. Before she could speak, the office door slammed shut again.

Ye Shu sighed. She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

…

“Secretary Chen, where are we going?” Ye Shu followed CEO Xing’s secretary into the car and asked cautiously from the back seat.

Secretary Chen did not seem to have any intention of answering her. She sat silently in the passenger seat.

Ye Shu could only sit obediently and did not dare to utter another word.

The car stopped outside the most famous beauty salon in the city. Secretary Chen got off first.

Ye Shu pushed open the door and got out of the car. She looked up at the fashionable shop.

“Miss Ye, please!” Secretary Chen said politely.

Ye Shu nodded and followed Secretary Chen into the door.

“Callie, please help Miss Ye dress up. The gala tonight is very important!” Secretary Chen said to the woman who came up to her.

Callie hurriedly replied, “Secretary Chen, please leave it to me!”

“Miss Ye, please follow me.” Callie smiled at Ye Shu and led her inside.

…

“Miss Ye, are you satisfied?” Callie stood behind Ye Shu and asked with a smile.

Ye Shu looked at herself in the mirror and widened her eyes in disbelief.

She had never seen herself dressed so… gorgeously!

There was just one issue.

Ye Shu turned around and looked at her reflection in a backless dress.

“Isn’t this too revealing?” Ye Shu frowned. Clearly, she was a little uncomfortable with this overly revealing appearance.

“How could that be!” Callie circled around Ye Shu, her eyes full of envy. “You have such a good figure, especially your back…”

“It would be such a waste not to reveal it!”

Ye Shu still felt a little uncomfortable. She was about to say something when Secretary Chen walked in. “Are you not done yet?”

Ye Shu looked at Secretary Chen. “Secretary Chen, this dress is a little too revealing. Can I change into another one?”

Secretary Chen squinted at Ye Shu before saying to Callie, “Get her a shawl.”

Callie replied with a smile and turned to retrieve a shawl that would fit Ye Shu.

Although it did not fully achieve the effect of changing the outfit, it at least covered a portion of her bare back, which made Ye Shu feel more at ease..
