Chapter 496 Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Rong Shu quickly put away the documents in front of her.
David watched her movements and simply smiled faintly.
"So busy?" David stepped forward, placed the insulated bag on the coffee table, opened it, and took out a serving of rice noodle rolls. "I brought you some late-night snacks. I went to Chinatown to buy them."
Rong Shu looked at the lunchbox he handed her, then put down the documents in her hand, reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you."
David leaned back on the single sofa, glanced at the documents in front of him, but made no move to pick them up and read them.
"What's wrong?" Rong Shu asked.
David turned his gaze to Rong Shu and said, "I came to see you because I was worried you were too heartbroken, but now that I've seen Evelynn, I'm relieved."
Rong Shu took a bite of the rice noodle roll, put down the box, looked up at David, and said, "Just say what you have to say!"
David's expression turned serious, and his tone became unusually earnest as he said, "I do have something I want to talk to you about. Evelynn, you'd better prepare for the worst. There are countless eyes watching this place right now, and bank bills will be pouring in. Once users start withdrawing their funds, it won't just be huge losses you'll face; you simply won't be able to handle it."
Rong Shu stared intently at him. "So, David, what are you trying to say?"
"Evelynn, you're a smart woman, you know what I mean. At the very least, I'll make sure you get what you deserve."
Rong Shu said in an unusually calm voice, "So you're just telling me to take the money and leave?"
David didn't respond, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Rong Shu withdrew her gaze. From David's perspective, what he said made no problem. As long as the shares were transferred to him, giving him absolute say, David, with his abilities, could stabilize the situation.
And for her to take a large sum of money and leave, without getting bogged down in this dangerous quagmire, is indeed a good idea, beneficial to everyone.
"Thank you for the late-night snack tonight. If there's nothing else, David, you can go now!"
David knew she had no intention of compromising. "Evelynn..."
He wanted to say something else.
Rong Shu turned her head to look at him, her voice becoming more serious, "It's not confirmed yet that Sheng Tingchen is really in trouble, David, you don't need to be so anxious."
David raised an eyebrow and stood up. "Alright! Evelynn, you go ahead with your work. Of course, if you have any questions or need my help, you can call me."
Rong Shu did not respond.
David glanced at her, then turned and walked away.
After David left.
Rong Shu raised her hand and irritably ran her fingers through her hair. Leaning against the sofa, she looked at the brightly lit night outside the window, her mood growing heavier and heavier.
Just then, someone knocked on the door to discuss something with He Ming.
Rong Shu said, "You go first!"
He Ming responded and then turned to leave the office.
That night.
Rong Shu rested in the office, but she couldn't sleep at all. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Sheng Tingchen leaving would appear in her mind.
The moment I opened my eyes.
The large, empty office was silent. Under the dim light, it seemed as if darkness was about to engulf her. She turned the lights up to the brightest setting.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already 1:30 a.m.
At this time.
Her phone lit up.
Rong Shu quickly stepped forward, picked up her phone, and saw a message from Su Qingzhi: Xiao Shu, I've arrived.
Su Qingzhi originally wanted to call her, but was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she left her a message.
Upon seeing the message, Rong Shu immediately exited the page and dialed Su Qingzhi's phone number.
The call was answered immediately, and a worried man's voice came through, "You haven't rested yet?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. "I'm in his office. Just come over tomorrow morning."
Su Qingzhi could hear the weariness in her voice and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She had been through so much before, and she had finally managed to stabilize herself. Now that Sheng Tingchen had suddenly disappeared, he really wanted to comfort her, but all his comfort was in vain.
"Okay, you get some rest. I'll come over first thing tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."
Rong Shu suppressed her emotions and hummed in agreement.
"By the way, any news from Sheng Tingchen?"
Rong Shu: "No."
"The best news is that we haven't heard from him yet."
"Um."
"..."
Put down your phone.
Rong Shu lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. She was very tired and her eyes were sore, but she couldn't fall asleep.
I don't know how much time passed before I finally managed to take a short nap.
I woke up again at six in the morning.
She couldn't sleep, so she went to the bathroom to tidy herself up a bit. Looking at her pale face in the mirror, she took out some foundation from her bag to cover the dark circles under her eyes.
七点。
He Ming brought her breakfast when he arrived at her office, and they held a meeting at eight o'clock to discuss countermeasures.
"it is good."
He Ming turned to leave and saw Su Qingzhi entering. He wasn't surprised; the two had already contacted each other last night. "Mr. Su."
Su Qingzhi nodded. He glanced at Rong Shu, who looked exceptionally haggard, and his heart sank. He then asked He Ming, "What happened yesterday?"
He Ming briefly recounted what had happened yesterday.
The current situation is more severe than imagined.
He Ming received news that the bank had already begun to make moves, indicating that this was something that had been planned in advance.
Su Qingzhi's expression turned serious. She said, "If this was premeditated, Sheng Tingchen couldn't have been completely unaware. He must have left a backup plan. What did he do before this?"
He Ming thought for a moment and said, "I would need to check President Sheng's computer to find out, but I don't know what the password is."
Su Qingzhi hummed in agreement. "Then you can go ahead and get busy."
"it is good."
He Ming left.
Only Rong Shu and Su Qingzhi remained in the office. He walked towards Rong Shu, looked at her with concern, and said, "You've worked hard."
Rong Shu didn't say anything, but got up and walked towards her desk, saying, "I tried several times yesterday, but the password was wrong. What kind of password do you think he would set?"
Su Qingzhi followed.
Now is not the time for small talk.
Su Qingzhi asked, "What password did you try?"
Rong Shu replied, "Meimei and his birthday, the combination of their numbers, the password is wrong."
Su Qingzhi said, "You can just ask Meimei. She should have seen Sheng Tingchen enter the password. She'll know it at a glance."
Meimei perfectly inherited Sheng Tingchen and Rong Shu's exceptional memory.
Rong Shu suddenly realized that she hadn't thought of that.
She walked quickly to the coffee table, picked up her phone, glanced at the time, and dialed the number directly.
But the call was not answered.
If Meimei isn't going out, she wouldn't wear her phone watch all the time. At this hour, she's already had dinner and shouldn't be in her room.
"No one's answering?"
"I'll call again when Meimei is almost asleep." She turned and asked, "Does the Sheng family know about Sheng Tingchen?"
"Sheng Tingyu has contacted me. He already knows that Sheng Tingchen's parents haven't received the news yet, but if they can't find him soon, they definitely won't be able to keep it from him. It's only a matter of time before the Sheng family finds out."
