Chu Yi subconsciously glanced at her watch. Fortunately, the matter was resolved in less than two hours.

When she turned to face Song Ting, she saw that he still had a cold expression. However, she knew that this cold-faced CEO had a warm heart and was a good boss who cared about his employees and was always fair.

He didn’t believe in the slander of others and was willing to trust his employees. He even extended a helping hand to his subordinates whenever they encountered difficulties.

The more Chu Yi thought about it, the more touched she felt, especially when she remembered his words from the other day, “You have me behind you.” Chu Yi felt more confident.

She walked over to Song Ting and said, “CEO.”

Song Ting nodded and then looked at everyone. “Those who slander their colleagues and spread rumors will never be employed by Song Corporation again. You’re responsible for your actions.”

Song Ting lowered his head and glanced at Chu Yi. His eyes met Chu Yi’s big, grateful eyes as she looked at him with admiration.

He was stunned for a moment before quickly turning around and leaving. “Follow me,” he ordered.

“Yes, CEO,” Chu Yi said and jogged after him, ignoring Liu Sheng’s continuous shouting from behind.

The Song Corporation’s public relations department had already taken action. They not only quickly clarified the matter, but also provided various evidence and even photos of Liu Sheng’s arrest.

Liu Sheng and the entertainment magazine agency were in trouble. Liu Sheng only wanted to ruin Chu Yi’s reputation and did not intend to provoke Song Ting and Shen Kai.

However, the reporter from the magazine agency had been following Shen Kai for a few weeks. He wanted to expose the fact that Shen Kai was having an affair with a small celebrity, but he happened to capture a picture of Chu Yi and Song Ting together.

The magazine agency had intended to use the reputation of the Song Corporation to boost its popularity, but it did not anticipate the negative consequences of its actions.

In the past, Shen Kai never minded such gossip. However, not only did he call their headquarters directly this time, but the magazine agency was also facing a lawsuit from the Song Corporation.

In order to protect themself, the magazine agency claimed that everything was part of Liu Sheng’s plan. With the evidence the police had, Liu Sheng could only remain silent.

When Chu Yi finally returned to normal work and saw Shen Kai again, her attitude toward him completely changed.

“Young Master Shen, you’re here. The president just finished his meeting. I’ll bring you in now.”

Chu Yi brought Shen Kai into the office and asked him, “Young Master Shen, what would you like to drink? Is coffee okay? Or would you prefer juice?”

Shen Kai was at a loss for words due to this sudden treatment. Finally, under Chu Yi’s scorching gaze, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, “Coffee.”

“Has your secretary gone crazy? Why are you so nice to me today?” After Chu Yi left, Shen Kai still had a lingering fear.

Song Ting only snorted and didn’t say anything.

Seeing Song Ting was unhappy, Shen Kai felt a little pleased and said, “Oh, I get it now. I’m the hero who saved the beauty. Now, the beauty is going to repay me. How is it? Are you regretting it? If I had known earlier, I would have given you this opportunity, you monk…”

When Song Ting saw Chu Yi bringing in the coffee, he told Shen Kai to “Shut up.”

Chu Yi put down the coffee and smiled sweetly, “If you need anything else, just let me know. I’ll be right outside.”

Song Ting couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Are you a waiter? Should you ask him to order?”

Shen Kai perked up and said, “I can order if you want. Last time, you left some cookies and egg tarts at the bar. Since I’ve helped you so much, so just consider it a thank-you gift.”

Chu Yi suddenly remembered the cookies she brought for Xu Yin and the others, which ended up being eaten by Shen Kai.

Although she didn’t like him before, she was grateful for his help this time.

So, she said, “How about I treat you to a meal another day?”

Suddenly, Chu Yi felt her boss’s gaze on her, and she realized that it wasn’t appropriate to discuss personal matters in the office.

But Shen Kai was excited and said, “Sure, Let’s do it tonight since I’m free.”

Sensing Song Ting’s unfriendly gaze, he added, “And why not bring your boss along? He helped you too.”

Chu Yi turned her head stiffly and saw her boss’s unfriendly expression. She didn’t know what to say.

However, she heard Song Ting say, “Sure.”
