After hearing what she said, Li Ci didn't say anything more and said directly: "We invited you this time because we have news about Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi originally wanted to go to Nigeria to inspect the project, but for some reason, he suddenly landed in Niger. After I got the news, I sent people to search, but there was no news about Mr. Shi. The only clue points to Somalia."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Yuan Shu thanked Li Ci, but his expression did not change.

"This is what I should do. Mr. Shi has helped me before." Li Ci kept looking at Yuan Shu while speaking, but did not see any change in Yuan Shu's expression.

"In this case, with Mr. Li's help abroad and the Shi family also sending a search and rescue team, we believe that Mr. Shi must be safe. In this case, don't worry, everything has been arranged before Mr. Shi left, and we just need to stabilize the situation." Zhao Mian knew that Yuan Shu didn't know about these things.

"But there is someone who needs Miss Li Ran's help." Zhao Mian changed the subject and looked at Li Ran.

"I think everyone has heard about Chu Mei's press conference yesterday. She publicly defamed Mr. Shi's reputation, causing the Shi family's stock price to plummet. Although it did not cause much impact, it is still a hidden danger. So I hope that our two families can work together to solve this small problem."

Press conference? Stock price? Yuan Shu was puzzled for a moment. She had been watching TV news recently and had not paid attention to the gossip in the entertainment industry. She couldn't figure out what the relationship between Chu Mei and Shi Xiao was.

"Of course, but it's not the right time yet." Li Ran nodded and looked at Yuan Shu.

"Besides, Mrs. Shi didn't say anything, so we can't say anything."

Yuan Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. How could she know what Chu Mei had done? However, the question was asked to her after all, so she had to answer it.

"Don't worry about this matter. If it is really related to Shi Xiao, I will naturally give her the punishment she deserves. But now there is no evidence. If she wants to rely on public opinion to gain something, she is too naive."

Li Ci thought Yuan Shu was interesting. He could sit still in such an occasion. Li Ci couldn't help but look at Yuan Shu a few more times and started talking to Zhao Mian about the original topic.

"The Shi family has money, so there's no problem. Once they find out that the company is running normally and the Shi family is not bankrupt, the stock price will naturally go back up. But I don't think the Shi family can necessarily solve all the problems."

Zhao Mian nodded. She knew that this might be the real purpose of Li Ci's meeting this time.

"Indeed, Yuan'an is a troublesome matter. Although it is not a big problem, the risk is too great if it continues to develop. I alone cannot reverse the situation. Moreover, the Shi family's roots are overseas. Domestic companies that can compete with the Shi family may not be willing to take this risk."

Li Ci looked at Zhao Mian with a smile: "No wonder you followed her here today, you want me to help you, right? Don't worry, I will help you even if I have to sell myself to you."

Yuan Shu ignored their conversation as she was sorting out her thoughts.

After the phone call yesterday, she went to investigate Li Ci. The Internet was so convenient. She could just search for anything she wanted to find out. It was like having hundreds of spies. All the information she wanted was right in front of her.

Yuan Shu realized that if the Shi family was a merchant family, then the Li family was a bureaucratic family with considerable power.

From their conversation today, something happened to a company called "Yuan'an" owned by the Shi family. If only the Shi family took responsibility, the loss would only be a small part, but it would alarm the people and even implicate the government.

Therefore, the best solution is to find a few more businessmen to share the risk, or seek help from the government.

However, the Shi family's business strength is quite strong, but there are many competitors, so they can only turn to the Li family, which has connections with the government, for help. Once the funds stabilize, they will naturally be able to overcome the difficulties.

However... maybe there are other solutions.

Yuan Shu was thinking about countermeasures and didn't notice that the two people who had just finished talking were looking at her.

At this moment, at the door of the Shi family villa, a middle-aged couple was arguing with the servants.

"I've told you I'm Yuan Shu's mother, can't you hear me? Why don't you let me in?" Duan Yan, the woman who claimed to be Yuan Shu's mother, was dressed brightly. The clothes she wore were all the latest models of Gucci, the bag she carried was a classic model of PRADA, and the watch on her wrist was a Patek Philippe. It was obvious that she had put a lot of thought into this meeting.

When Shi Bin arrived at the door, he saw the servant with an embarrassed look on his face and Duan Yan who was still arguing.

When the servant saw him, he felt like he had seen a savior and hurried forward to greet him.

"Fourth Young Master, you are back. Madam has something to do today, so she is eating out. What would you like to eat? I will ask the kitchen to prepare it."

"No hurry." Shi Bin motioned to the maid to explain the situation. "What's the matter?"

The servant told Shi Bin everything that had happened. Duan Yan, who was standing by, was very dissatisfied with Shi Bin for ignoring her, and stepped forward and said, "You are the fourth young master of the Shi family, right? My daughter Yuan Shu is your sister-in-law. Her father and I came to visit today, but she not only didn't come out to greet us, but now she is blocking us from entering. You are really bullying us!"

"Enough, stop talking!" Yuan Hao couldn't help but say.

When he married Duan Yan, he thought she was simple and gentle. He didn't expect that she was just pretending at that time. Now, she is becoming more and more like a shrew, giving him a headache every day.

"Fourth Young Master, is there any daughter who blocks her parents from entering the house?" Seeing Shi Bin being reasonable, Yuan Hao couldn't help but complain, "I already said it was Yuan Shu's parents, but the servant insisted on producing evidence. Where can I find her evidence?"

Shi Bin wanted to wait for him to finish, but the door opened at this time. Shi Lu saw that they had been arguing for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed out.

"Wasn't what she said on the phone yesterday clear enough? If you really want to do business, go and talk on your own and don't waste your time here. Besides, the easiest way to prove your identity is to call her and ask her to verify your identity."

At this time, Lu Jun's face turned cold and he looked at them coldly.

"If you can, please call me right away, or I'll call the police and report you for trespassing."

……

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Li Ci saw that Yuan Shu was lost in thought and not paying attention to their conversation, so he couldn't help but remind her.

What is she thinking about? How to win a man's heart, or how much money she will get after the divorce?

"Ah? Sorry, I was distracted just now." Zhao Mian gently pulled her sleeve and said apologetically, and Yuan Shu came back to her senses.

"It's okay. The conversation just now was indeed a bit boring. It's normal that the wife is not interested." Li Ci sneered at Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's expression remained unchanged. He picked up the teacup and took another sip. This Longjing tea was quite good, but the person who made the tea did not have good tea-making skills.

"Mr. Li, you must be joking. However, I would like to express my opinion on this issue. Mr. Li, please don't laugh at me. If there is anything wrong with what I said, please point it out."

When Li Ci heard her say this, he was moved and leaned over to look at Yuan Shu.

"I'd like to hear the details."

Everyone had a sumptuous dinner, and even when they were parting, Li Ci looked at Yuan Shu with approval.

"I didn't expect you to be such a smart person. I was wrong. I looked down on you. I hope you can forgive me."

Yuan Shuye and Li Ci shook hands politely and said goodbye.

"But Madam, I want to ask, don't you have anything to ask about Mr. Shi?"

Li Ci looked at Yuan Shu and shook her head, and couldn't help but be a little amazed. A woman like her would not be dragged down by love. When she fell in love with Shi Xiao, she insisted on marrying him. Now that she was clear-headed, she no longer cared about her husband's safety.

Li Ci was amazed, and then he heard Yuan Shu say, "He won't die."
