Zhou Yi'an must have wanted something from her when she came to see her.
Besides, what does it matter whether Xu Qingzhu's biological parents are found or not? As long as she has a good relationship with her current parents, that's enough.
Liang Shi then blocked the number.
After a while, the phone rang again.
She hung up instinctively.
But a few seconds later, it rang again.
She hung up again.
She guessed that Zhou Yi'an had changed her number to call.
This person is so boring.
When the number called for the third time, she answered impatiently and said coldly, "Are you ever going to stop?"
The other side was silent for two seconds: "..."
"If you call again, I'll sue you..."
Before the words "sexual harassment" could be uttered, the other party's clear voice rang out, "Liang Shi."
Liang Shi: "?"
It's not Zhou Yi'an.
The original owner didn't leave a note for anyone.
"Yes." Liang Shi swallowed back all the curses he wanted to utter and answered in a low voice, "What is it?"
"Are you still coming to work?" The other person said, "If you're not coming, I'll remove that position from your job."
Liang Shi: "..."
Who is this?
She coughed softly, "Um..."
The other person: "Hmm?"
Liang Shi asked with the utmost humility, "May I ask who you are?"
The other person remained silent; even through the phone, Liang Shi could sense his speechlessness.
A few seconds later, the clear voice said in a measured tone, "Liang, Xin, He".
Liang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said familiarly, "Second Brother."
Liang Xinhe: "?"
He scoffed, "Liang Shi, are you possessed by a ghost?"
Liang Shi: "...??"
Chapter 22
Liang Shi didn't know how the original owner got along with her family.
Currently, she has only spoken to Qiu Zimin by phone.
But from the limited information she knew, the original owner's two older brothers were quite nice. They were just annoyed by the original owner's unruly behavior and were disappointed in her, so they eventually stopped paying attention to her.
Especially after the Liang family recognized their new daughter, their attitude towards her plummeted.
However, it's also the original owner's fault for being so useless.
In the latter half of the novel, the original owner had her glands removed and was thrown into the street. In her most desperate moment, she kidnapped Liang Xinhe's daughter, attempting to use her to threaten her second brother, who had always been tolerant of her, so that she could get a sum of money to run away.
This infuriated Liang Xinhe, who, after rescuing his daughter, had one of the original owner's legs broken.
Liang Shi: "..."
For some reason, Liang Shi had a synesthetic feeling at this moment.
It was as if I were the one whose leg had been broken.
She was trembling.
"No," Liang Shi said. "I'm staying at home."
The implication is—I was very well-behaved; I didn't run around or gamble.
"I heard you were in the hospital a couple of days ago?" Liang Xinhe said, "With your wife too. What kind of bastard did you do this time?"
Liang Shi swallowed hard. "No, it's just... a little misunderstanding."
"I can't be bothered with you either." Liang Xinhe's tone was impatient, but every word she said made sense. "You're the one who married her. Our family paid a high price to get you to marry her. Don't be reckless and anger the Xu family. If they use the media to attack the Liang family, I will definitely not stand on your side."
"I know," Liang Shi assured him. "I will treat Xu Qingzhu well."
“I don’t care about what’s going on between you two,” Liang Xinhe said. “But are you still coming to the company? If not, I’ll remove your position so you don’t have an empty office there and annoy people.”
Liang Shi immediately replied, "I'll go."
She doesn't have much to do right now, and it will take her some time to get back to her old job.
She cannot act rashly when she doesn't know much about the world.
Moreover, acting takes a lot of time, and in the past, once she joined a production team, she was basically out of contact with the outside world.
Now she still needs to win over Xu Qingzhu, which means she can't stay too far away from Xu Qingzhu, otherwise she won't get any luck points and will die.
She should just stay put for the next three months.
Humans have no choice but to bow to reality.
"But second brother, could you please change my seat?" Liang Shi tried to make a request.
Liang Xinhe said impatiently, "What location? Is a 40-square-meter office not comfortable? My office as the general manager is about the same size as yours. Liang Shi, that's enough. Don't push your luck."
“No,” Liang Shi said, “Second Brother, I want to switch departments.”
Liang Xinhe: "?"
A few seconds later, Liang Xinhe asked sincerely, "With your abilities, which department do you think you'd be best suited for?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She coughed awkwardly, "How about starting from the bottom?"
Actors also need to experience life frequently.
She even worked as a food delivery driver before, in order to play the role of one.
There were also those who worked as junior staff at an advertising company for a month, set up street stalls, and opened mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurants.
Therefore, audiences often say that she can play any role convincingly, or even that she *is* that role.
It can give people a sense of realism.
At this moment, she treated herself as if she were experiencing life.
“I’ll go and be a junior clerk,” Liang Shi said. “You don’t need to give me such a big office or any special privileges. I’ll just work as a junior clerk under an assumed name and learn from the very basics.”
Liang Xinhe was truly shocked this time.
After a moment, he asked, "Blink if you're being kidnapped?"
Liang Shi: "...?"
"Never mind, I can't see it anyway," Liang Xinhe said. "Then which department do you want to go to?"
Liang Shi had just looked up Dongheng Group, so it wasn't too unfamiliar to him.
But if you really want to know which department I'll be assigned to, I honestly don't know.
but……
She had a sudden inspiration: "Which department is responsible for researching new products?"
"The R&D department?" Liang Xinhe rejected the idea. "You don't know anything, don't make things worse."
Liang Shi: "..."
However, Liang Xinhe suggested a good option for her: "Go to the magazine department."
"What's this for?" Liang Shi asked.
“Dongheng just established a new department last month, planning to launch its own publication, specializing in e-magazines. The department is currently short-staffed, so you could go and assist them. If they need copywriters, you might be able to help out. I thought you didn't learn anything in college; I didn't realize you could write poetry.” After saying this, Liang Xinhe added, “Liang Shi, you yourself said you wanted to turn over a new leaf, so I'm giving you a chance. Don't cause trouble for the company again.”
Liang Shi: "...Okay."
Liang Xinhe told her to report back to the Human Resources Department on Monday, and then hung up the phone.
Liang Shi glanced at it; it was already Saturday.
I'll be able to start work soon.

As evening approached, Xu Qingzhu received a call from Bai Weiwei.
Then he hurriedly drove off.
Xu Qingya stared at her retreating figure, still puzzled, and asked, "What happened?"
However, no answer was received.
At that time, Liang Shi was in his room preparing the documents he needed for work. The original owner's graduation certificate had been thrown into a corner by her, and Liang Shi had a lot of trouble to find it.
The original owner attended a diploma mill, which only gave him a graduation certificate, not a degree certificate.
However, the photo on the graduation certificate is very youthful and eye-catching.
With long hair reaching her shoulders and a beaming smile, she was a lovely woman.
Liang Shi sighed, "Time is a cruel mistress."
And photos can really be deceiving.
No one would think that the person above is a dissolute playboy with cruel methods.
