Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Can’t Reach Her

The murmuring voices continued, but Su Wanxin heard them crystal clear. After listening for a while, she stood up and walked out of the office.

Near the stairs, the smoking area was deserted. Everyone was working hard at this time, she was the only one who came out to smoke.

Ever since she was caught red-handed at Fu Shihan’s house, Su Wanxin dared not bring cigarettes home again. However, she always kept some in the office to cope with sudden cravings.

She smoked two cigarettes, then turned back. Everyone else was still too busy to even leave their seats.

Su Yan faintly smelled the smoke and looked at her with curiosity. Usually, this girl was harder working than anyone; with such big news today, why did she seem so unengaged?

"What were you doing?" Su Yan asked curiously.

"Just went out for some fresh air," she replied, casually putting on an earphone. Seeing this, Su Yan didn’t pursue further questions.

The sudden news of the Fu and Fu Sheng families’ marriage caught everyone off guard, including the main parties involved.

Within the Fu Group, Fu Shihan sat behind his desk in a foul mood, holding a mobile phone in his hand.

His gaze was dark and cold, frustrated by the commotion this news had caused, and also because he couldn’t contact Su Wanxin.

Jing Jingwen mentioned that she only got home around eleven last night, and he didn’t know where she had been or with whom.

She hadn’t answered his calls last night, and now he couldn’t even get through to her, which made him restless.

"Today, I must figure out the source of this news," Fu Shihan looked up at Lin Rui and commanded coldly, "I need to know how they found out about this."

"Okay, I’ll take care of it," Lin Rui nodded and left. Fu Shihan glanced at his schedule for the day and dialed Chen Lei’s phone.

Chen Lei was startled when he received the call. After hearing what he was instructed to do, he was even more confused.

"President Fu... do you mean that as long as Su Wanxin doesn’t leave the company before the end of the workday, it’ll be fine?"

"Right."

"Okay, I understand. I’ll keep an eye on her."

Though Chen Lei said this, there wasn’t actually much to watch, as Su Wanxin had never planned on leaving the company.

During the lunch break, Jing Jingwen brought her food and medicine. She ate obediently, rested her head on the desk for a while, and then continued working in the afternoon as usual.

At 6 pm, the office was filled with sighs and moans.

Due to today’s events involving the Fu and Fu Sheng families, the entire financial sector was in chaos. Now that it was finally over, and with tomorrow being Saturday, all these finance dogs were so happy they almost wanted to literally bark.

Fu Group’s stock price had been capped at the limit-up since eleven o’clock, and this situation was expected to continue for the next week.

Now, in various major sectors, whether it was finance or entertainment, everyone was talking about this. The Shen Family and Ding Family, who had also planned to make headlines today, ended up just being a background.

ST’s stock price wasn’t fluctuating much, and the Shen Family’s attempt to reverse their fortunes through a business marriage had initially ended in failure.

This outcome was something Su Wanxin was very pleased with.

She packed up her things, preparing to leave work for home.

Outside the office door, General Manager Chen Lei frowned as he looked inside.

President Fu had instructed that before the end of the workday, he must make sure Su Wanxin didn’t leave. Now that it was time to leave work, should he continue to watch her? Surely he couldn’t stop Su Wanxin from going home, could he?
