Chapter 18 Getting Furious
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Zheng slightly raised his chin to signal his assistant, who then handed a stack of documents to Lin Shuyao.
Cheng Zheng: "Make a copy of these translated Russian documents for archiving."
Looking at the rather thick stack of documents, Lin Shuyao's face scrunched up: "So much? Can't it be printed?"
Cheng Zheng's gaze fell on her upturned face. Her cat-like eyes were slightly widened with displeasure, the pupils of her eyes clear and bright, like a pool of clear spring water. Her rosy lips were slightly pursed, like rose petals covered with morning dew. Below her were her delicate chin, slender neck, and a head of jet-black hair that was all loose, with a few strands hanging down beside her cheeks, making her face look as white as jade.
She was the culprit who turned his family into a living hell.
His face darkened, and his tone turned icy: "Printing? Do you expect us to use the entire printing line for one document? Just because I didn't make you run laps doesn't mean you can take a complete rest. Finish copying the document this week."
"I understand." A hint of grievance flashed in Lin Shuyao's eyes as she gently bit her lower lip.
She didn't need to come to him. It's obvious that this job wasn't originally intended for her. He just couldn't stand her being idle, right?
Don't be late for your afternoon classes.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her sullen face, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and left with his assistant.
The two walked away.
Lin Shuyao recalled the words "adoptive parents" that she had overheard earlier. Shen Qing had grown up with her adoptive parents since she was a child. Assistant Zheng had disappeared for several days. Could it be that Cheng Zheng had sent him to Yuncheng to investigate her?
Has Cheng Zheng already discovered that she isn't the real Shen Qing?
But he hadn't revealed any obvious flaws, so it was impossible for him to suspect him for no reason.
What exactly is wrong?
Lin Shuyao couldn't figure it out, so she could only be extra careful in the future and try to avoid that evil spirit as much as possible.
In fact, she guessed correctly. Assistant Zheng did go to Yuncheng to investigate, and he even made some discoveries.
Inside the office, Assistant Zheng was giving a report:
"Representative, Comrade Shen Qing's biological mother went abroad with a foreigner not long after her birth, and there has been no news of her since."
"Her adoptive parents worked in a local state-owned factory. They were both employed and well-off. When she was seven years old, her adoptive parents adopted a nephew from their hometown. The nephew was three years older than Ms. Shen. Just two months ago, Ms. Shen had a falling out with her family and suddenly ran away from home. We don't know where she went. After that, she came to our factory."
"Also, her adoptive parents received a sum of money from Jinghua Remittance every year until she turned 18. I checked the remittance account, and the remitter's name was Wang Qing."
Upon hearing this name, Cheng Zheng's fingers tightened around the pen, and a shadow fell over his eyes.
Wang Qing is his father's secretary!
If Shen Qing and her father weren't father and daughter, how could her father have his secretary secretly transfer money every year for 18 years without her mother ever knowing?
Seeing Cheng Zheng remain silent, the assistant asked curiously, "Representative, are you investigating Comrade Shen Qing because you suspect she is... a spy?"
After all, in spy movies, the female spies are usually quite good-looking.
Shen Qing's appearance is truly outstanding; there are probably only one or two people like her in the whole country.
Such a beautiful woman was assigned to the technical department and placed next to the representative. The representative then asked her to conduct investigations. It's hard not to associate her with espionage.
The word "spy" deepened the darkness in Cheng Zheng's eyes. He slammed his pen down, making a short thud as it hit the table. Then, he slightly lifted his eyelids, looked at his assistant, and said sharply, "Don't let me hear those two words again and associate them with her. Also, the rest of the investigation ends here."
"Understood." Assistant Zheng reluctantly shut his mouth, not daring to mention it again.
Cheng Zheng tucked the pen into the pen holder: "Is there anything else to report?"
The assistant nodded and hurriedly added, "Comrade Shen's adoptive parents know that I'm working with her now, so they asked me to bring her a pair of shoes. They said they're her most treasured shoes, which she only wears to dances, and she didn't take them with her when she left home."
"What do you think we should do?" The assistant took a package out from under the workstation.
Cheng Zheng glanced at it: "Leave it for now."
If she really gave it to Shen Qing, wouldn't she know that he was investigating her?
The assistant had obviously thought of this as well, and nodded: "Then I'll put it away first."
……
Lunchtime.
Lin Shuyao finally realized who Cheng Zheng originally intended to assign the task of copying documents to.
Su Wan came to find her for lunch and, seeing what she was copying, exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Comrade Shen, isn't this the document he asked me to copy? He told me to go to Assistant Zheng at noon to get it..."
She knew it! Cheng Zheng did it on purpose!
Lin Shu-yao felt unlucky: "I ran into a representative this morning, and he insisted that I copy his work."
Su Wan said sympathetically, "How about I help you?"
Lin Shuyao also wanted to slack off, but the two of them had different handwriting. If Cheng Zheng found out, he would definitely use that as an excuse to scold her.
She's a fake; she can't withstand any trouble.
"No need, Comrade Su, I'll just copy it myself."
"You've worked hard. I'm going to the cafeteria; do you want me to bring you something to eat?"
Lin Shuyao shook her head, "I can't eat."
After Su Wan left, Lin Shuyao looked at the thick stack of documents on the table, and irritably rubbed her head a few times.
Cheng Zheng, that scoundrel!
Not only did they investigate her background, but they also kept finding ways to order her around! Did she desecrate his family's ancestral graves or steal his family's food rations? Why are they targeting her like this?!
Ahhhhh—!
She's so angry!
Lin Shuyao rested her chin on her hand, her face scrunched up in a grimace, radiating utter despair. A few unruly strands of hair stuck out playfully, making her look like a cat with its fur standing on end, especially with her puffed-up expression.
