She discussed with the driver about separating Wang Jiahui and that General Manager Li, and then dealing with them one by one. As for the drug applied to her arm, the driver assured her not to worry, saying it needed to seep into the skin. She just needed to place thick tissues inside her sleeves to isolate it.
After ensuring she wouldn't be affected by the drug, she went downstairs to wait for Wang Jiahui's move.
As expected, after sitting downstairs for not long, someone made a move.
Therefore, she provoked them ostentatiously on the first floor, but Wang Jiahui, who was watching the show from upstairs, remained unmoved, occasionally chatting with General Manager Li beside him.
However, fortunately, her threat to call the police later alarmed the two people upstairs, successfully prompting Wang Jiahui to come down, giving the driver waiting on the second floor an opportunity.
She also went along with the plan, following behind Wang Jiahui, listening to his incessant grand promises, all to buy time for the driver on the other side.
Later, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, and then she proceeded to the next step. She pretended to toast Wang Jiahui, but her actual intention was to transfer the drug on her arm to him.
If you want to scheme against her, you must weigh the consequences.
In her current identity, she did have some backing.
"Madam, please rest assured, I can handle this. You should leave first. Master Wen..."
Before the driver could finish speaking, he saw Fang Miaomiao wave at him. Her clear eyes were filled with innocence. "Brother driver, thank you so much tonight. When I have the ability later, I will definitely repay you well."
"You're too kind, Madam."
Following the driver's request, Fang Miaomiao knew she couldn't stay in that place for too long. She obediently left the room and went downstairs, exiting the hotel under everyone's watchful eyes.
However, as she happily opened the car door, she found someone sitting inside.
This caused the smile on her face to freeze instantly.
Wen Zhiyan didn't miss the shock on her face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards. "If you didn't get in soon, you might have been on the trending search again."
Fang Miaomiao snapped back to reality and got into the car.
"You, why are you here?" Fang Miaomiao asked, confused.
Did the driver tell him?
Although she didn't mind, she still felt strange. Did the driver report her whereabouts to Wen Zhiyan every time she went somewhere? Then, wasn't she no different from being monitored?
Wen Zhiyan glanced at Fang Miaomiao, who was leaning against the car door. "The driver told me. Don't blame him. You are my wife, after all, the Madam of the Wen family. If anything were to happen to you, it wouldn't be good for Wen's."
To prevent her from misunderstanding, Wen Zhiyan added, "Normally, he's just a driver. He only calls me if there's danger."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing his explanation, the uncomfortable feeling lessened significantly.
After they finished speaking, silence fell again in the car.
Fang Miaomiao was conflicted. This time, Wen Zhiyan was helping her. Should she tell him about the problem with October Hotel, and warn him to pay more attention to it, or something bad would happen later?
But, if she told him, would he listen? Their relationship wasn't good enough for him to believe her one hundred percent just by hearing a recording.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me, and we can discuss it together."
Wen Zhiyan was in the middle of handling some affairs when the little sprite beside him was constantly restless, occasionally glancing at him with her eyes before quickly looking away.
It was as if she was afraid he would notice.
"Wen Zhiyan, did the driver tell you anything else?"
Since the conversation had started, Fang Miaomiao didn't want to hide it anymore. It was better to go with the flow and give Wen Zhiyan a favor.
"Like what?" Wen Zhiyan put down his work and looked at Fang Miaomiao seriously.
"Like... October Hotel."
Fang Miaomiao asked tentatively, completely unaware that she had moved closer to Wen Zhiyan.
"October Hotel?" Wen Zhiyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
October Hotel was a luxurious hotel he had recently opened, ranking among the top star-rated hotels in A City, and even nationwide.
Because it was so successful, he hadn't managed it extensively. A year ago, he had directly given the management rights of October Hotel to his third brother, Wen Zhijia.
Why was she suddenly bringing up October Hotel?
However, being intelligent, he combined Fang Miaomiao's recent experience with October Hotel and guessed the general situation.
"You mean, October Hotel was also involved in the trap Wang Jiahui set for you this time?" Wen Zhiyan's face darkened.
"If I were to guess even deeper, would you still believe me?" Fang Miaomiao held up her index finger, indicating a small amount.
"Tell me. If it's proven true, I will definitely not let the person behind it off the hook."
Fang Miaomiao then played the recording she had deliberately made in the car.
After hearing it, a strange silence filled the car.
"That... um..." Fang Miaomiao took a step back and leaned against the car door, asking cautiously, "You're not thinking of silencing me, are you?"
Suddenly, a chuckle echoed in the air, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, Master Wen, I really couldn't help it." Xin Xuanlai, who was driving in front, immediately apologized.
"Xin Xuanlai, if this matter isn't investigated clearly, you won't get your bonus this month."
Xin Xuanlai: "..."
As expected, exposing oneself while watching a show doesn't have any benefits.
"Yes." Xin Xuanlai immediately became serious and asked with a hint of doubt, "However, Chairman, could there be any misunderstanding in this matter?"
As the Chairman's secretary and personal assistant, he met with Manager Wen several times a month, not for extended periods. Manager Wen was always very kind whenever he saw them and never made things difficult for them, the working class.
"Xin Xuanlai, the business world is like a battlefield."
After hearing Fang Miaomiao's words just now, he hadn't believed it at first. But combined with his third brother's recent unusual behavior, he had a growing sense of unease.
Once the seed of doubt is sown, it will sprout. Rather than suspecting, it was better to investigate clearly.
If it wasn't true, he would naturally apologize to his third brother. If it was true, then he wouldn't show any brotherly affection.
"Understood, Chairman."
Fang Miaomiao was very sleepy, especially in a comfortable and relatively safe environment.
As she slept, Fang Miaomiao, like an eel, moved to Wen Zhiyan's side in the blink of an eye, puckered her lips, and leaned against his shoulder, falling into a deep sleep.
Feeling the sudden weight on his shoulder, Wen Zhiyan's fingers paused from typing.
He glanced sideways at Fang Miaomiao, who was sleeping soundly, and a smile curved his lips. This person who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, who appeared to want equal treatment when awake, but whose eyes showed clear distance from him, he had seen it all clearly.
And when it was time for sleep, she was like a tiger, possessively occupying his bed, clinging to him like an octopus, making it difficult for him to even move.
