Chapter 575: I Want to Try (5)

"Exactly! She offended so many people, and now none of them are willing to put up with her anymore. On top of that, she still has that same awful temper and doesn’t know when to back down. Then, she got into an argument with the new lead dancer of the Entertainment Department and even started a fight!"

Shen Nian was surprised. ’It seems there’s some truth to the saying, "More women, more drama." Even a place like this isn’t immune!’

"You wouldn’t have guessed, right? We didn’t either! And they didn’t just fight—they were vicious. Both of them ended up in the hospital. The eldest daughter of the Meng family fractured her shin. She’ll probably be stuck in the hospital for a while, and who knows if she’ll even be able to dance again after she recovers! On top of that, she’s still waiting for the Entertainment Department’s punishment. She had such a bright future, and she just threw it all away herself!"

Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying sighed at the whole affair, but they didn’t feel a shred of sympathy for someone like Meng Sijia.

After all, she had brought this fate upon herself. There was no one else to blame.

Shen Nian sighed to herself. ’That Meng Sijia is really just asking for trouble! No wonder even the Qin family won’t lift a finger to save them. The entire Meng Family seems determined to self-destruct.’

"And I heard that the Meng family’s eldest son isn’t having an easy time in prison, either! His parents have been trying to pull strings, but it’s hopeless. With such a major case, nobody dares to get involved. To make matters worse, that young master apparently offended someone on the inside and is having a miserable time every single day!"

"Hmph. They deserve it! You have to pay for the sins you commit."

"Isn’t that the truth! It just goes to show, people need to have a conscience. Those who do evil never come to a good end!"

Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying stayed with Shen Nian and recapped everything that had happened at the Group recently, making Shen Nian feel as if she had never been away at all.

That afternoon, after Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying had gone home, Shen Nian was planning to tidy up around the house. To her surprise, Lu Cheng’s direct superior, Minister Zhang, showed up at her door.

Shen Nian was escorted directly to Minister Zhang’s office by his staff. She wasn’t worried that Minister Zhang meant her any harm, she was just curious why he had sought her out.

"Shen Nian, please don’t worry. I’ve asked you to come here because there’s something I’d like your help with."

"Help?"

Shen Nian looked at Zhang Yuanjun in surprise. ’Since when does the Group need *my* help? What could I possibly do for them?’

"That’s right. To be honest, I’ve wanted to ask you about this for a while now. It’s just that with everything that’s been going on, I never found the right opportunity."

"Please, Minister Zhang, just tell me what’s on your mind."

Thanks to Lin Jingyun, Shen Nian already had a rather friendly impression of Minister Zhang. Since Zhang Yuanjun was asking personally, she didn’t mind lending a hand if it was something she could do.

"I heard you prepared quite a few medicinal pills for Lu Cheng in the past?"

"Oh? Yes, that’s right."

Shen Nian hadn’t expected him to ask about that. If Zhang Yuanjun hadn’t brought it up, she would have almost forgotten. It was mainly because Lu Cheng had been at the Group this whole time and hadn’t been sent out on any missions.

On top of that, so much had been happening lately that her plan to develop more of those pills had been put on the back burner for some time.

"Those pills of yours were a great help during their missions; they were extremely effective. The people in our department frequently go on assignments like that, so..."

"Minister Zhang, are you asking me to supply you with these pills?"
