Chapter 385 What good intentions could there be?
After Jiang Huaixu finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
Sheng Tingchen put down his phone and looked at her phone screen. Rong Shu's screen saver was a photo of Mei Mei taken at her manor on an Australian island for her birthday.
He put his hand down, turned around and went back into the room, placed her phone on the bedside table, and picked up a thermometer to take Rong Shu's temperature.
The temperature has dropped.
Until noon.
Rong Shu opened her eyes and woke up, but her head was still very dizzy.
"woke up."
A man's voice came from inside.
Rong Shu turned her head to look at Sheng Tingchen beside her, then silently looked away.
Sheng Tingchen had a light lunch delivered upstairs.
"Get up and eat something first."
Rong Shu didn't need to joke about her health. She propped herself up to get up, and Sheng Tingchen picked up a cushion and placed it behind her back.
Then I brought her a bowl of congee.
Rong Shu finished her porridge and ate some other things, while Sheng Tingchen took care of her.
"I don't want to eat anymore." She didn't have much of an appetite right now.
Sheng Tingchen said, "Eat this bowl of steamed egg custard."
Rong Shu glanced at the steamed egg custard he handed her, paused for a moment, then reached out and took it, eating all of it.
Sheng Tingchen watched her finish eating, then took the bowl from her hand and said, "Take your medicine in half an hour. I have something to do now and need to go to the company. You should rest at home today."
Rong Shu listened to the man's words but did not respond.
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything more, told someone to come in and tidy up, and then left the room.
Watching the man leave.
Rong Shu threw off the covers and got out of bed to go to the bathroom. When she returned to the room, she saw her phone on the bedside table. She saw a missed call from Xue Mingjie and a call with Jiang Huaixu that lasted less than a minute.
She immediately called Jiang Huaixu.
The call was answered quickly.
"Professor." The voice was noticeably hoarse and weak.
"Xiao Shu, are you feeling any better?"
Rong Shu: "It's nothing serious. I had a slight fever this morning, but I'm feeling better now. I'll organize yesterday's documents and send them to your email today."
Jiang Huaixu said, "No rush. You should rest well today and take good care of your health."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
Jiang Huaixu wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions and decided to wait until she recovered.
After taking the medicine, Rong Shu rested on the sofa on the balcony for a while. The discomfort of feeling dizzy and lightheaded was relieved a lot, but she was still sweating profusely and had no energy.
But she couldn't stay idle; she often worked while sick in the past. She was holding a tablet and talking on the phone with Xue Mingjie while handling work.
Mr. Hu suddenly called. There was an interview scheduled for today, and the deputy editor-in-chief was originally supposed to be interviewed, but now the other party has suddenly changed their mind and wants to communicate with her instead.
Mr. Hu had no other choice but to contact Rong Shu. Now that he knows she is Sheng Tingchen's wife, Mr. Hu's attitude is even more respectful, and he even lowers his stance to plead.
Rong Shu felt a strong sense of resistance to Mr. Hu's change in attitude.
"Mr. Hu, there's no need for that. I might have to come a little later. Please send me the content of today's interview first, and I'll read it on the way."
"it is good."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu received the document quickly.
She got up and went to the dressing room to change into a formal business suit. After dressing and doing her hair, her face was still ashen and her eyes lacked energy.
After she finished getting ready, she went out.
Orissa was carrying snacks upstairs when she saw Evelynn about to leave. She asked worriedly, "Evelynn, you're still not well. Are you going to work?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, "I have some urgent work to take care of."
She didn't have the energy to drive, so she had the villa driver take her out.
Watching Rong Shu leave.
A little worried, Olissa called Sheng Tingchen using the villa's landline, and the call was answered quickly.
Orissa said, "Mr. Sheng, Evelynn went to work, but she's still not feeling well."
Sheng Tingchen listened to Olissa's words and said in a deep voice, "Understood."
Rong Shu sat in the car looking at the interview materials that had been sent to her. She used to be able to read them quickly, but now even a simple paragraph took her a long time to read, and her head was spinning even more in the car.
She simply closed it and decided to read it when she got to the company.
The driver noticed something was wrong with Rong Shu through the rearview mirror and asked with concern, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing the title "Madam," Rong Shu was momentarily taken aback. She didn't say anything, but simply replied, "I'm fine, drive faster."
The roads aren't congested at this time.
Half an hour later.
The car slowly came to a stop.
Rong Shu sat in the car and spent more than ten minutes reviewing the information.
I just received a call from Mr. Hu.
"Come up right away."
Before getting off the bus.
Rong Shu took her medicine again.
We went upstairs.
When she saw the person she was interviewing, Rong Shu froze in place.
Zhao Zheng.
Today, he shed his usual flamboyant and gaudy attire, donning a formal black suit. With a face more exquisite and beautiful than a woman's, he sat there, exuding a captivating and noble aura that made the staff beside him stare in disbelief.
Zhao Zheng saw Rong Shu and raised an eyebrow at her with a smile.
Rong Shu's face suddenly darkened.
Mr. Hu didn't notice Rong Shu's unusual behavior at first, and strode forward, saying, "Evelynn, you're here. I'm so sorry about today. Come here and let me introduce you."
Rong Shu followed President Hu forward with a normal expression.
Mr. Hu introduced, "This is Mr. Zhao Zheng from the American XX Investment Group..."
The Zhao family holds a very high position in the overseas Chinese community. Although they suffered heavy losses last year due to a scandal, the Zhao family has deep roots and cannot be shaken. Recovery is only a matter of time.
"Mr. Zhao, this is Evelynn."
Zhao Zheng looked at Rong Shu, his phoenix eyes smiling, and said, "Miss Evelynn is indeed even more beautiful than she appears on television and in magazines. I'm so glad to be able to work with Miss Evelynn. Today's interview will definitely be very pleasant."
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, President Hu smiled and said, "We are relieved to hear Mr. Zhao's words. Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhao. Evelynn has taken over temporarily and needs some time to prepare, which is also for a better interview next."
President Hu had heard rumors about this Zhao family heir; he was eccentric, capricious, and in short, quite difficult to deal with.
This special interview was mainly aimed at overseas audiences. Zhao Zheng was not originally scheduled to be interviewed; he received the notification at the last minute.
Zhao Zheng specifically requested an interview with Evelynn.
They are people you shouldn't offend.
He could only contact Evelynn.
Judging from Zhao Zheng's words, it was clear that he was targeting Evelynn, but Evelynn was Sheng Tingchen's wife, so he probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.
Zhao Zheng, being very easy to talk to, said, "Of course, I'll be waiting."
After Mr. Hu and Rong Shu left the interview room, Mr. Hu said, "I'm sorry, Evelynn, for having you come here at the last minute for this interview."
Rong Shu didn't know what Zhao Zheng was trying to do, but what good intentions could he possibly have?
But having come this far, there's no way she can leave now.
