Shi Xiao said, "I will. I'll ask him about the situation after I go home tonight."

Shi Xiao changed the topic back to business. "You've been here for a week now. Did you find anyone suspicious?"

Yuan Shu shook her head. "I've deliberately kept a distance from everyone for the past week so that everyone would think that I was still putting on airs and no one would cause trouble for me."

Shi Xiao agreed. "If you give them a chance to get close to you right away, they definitely won't reveal everything so easily. On the contrary, if you put on airs at the beginning but deliberately get close to them afterwards, they will think that you're trying to curry favor with the employees because you don't have a good relationship with the Shi family. They will think that they have a chance."

Yuan Shu continued, "As long as they take action, they will definitely expose themselves."
