The next morning after breakfast, Shi Nuan went to work together with Song Yansheng. On the way, she received a call from her Father, Shi Yuanbo.

Shi Yuanbo didn’t have anything else in particular, just informed her that the notice would be issued today: she would officially enter the Lishui Project Department and follow up on the Lishui Project.

He also said that she had already been interning at the Shi Family for more than two months. Although the company’s regulation was a three‑month internship period, she had performed well during this time. Her entry into the Lishui Project Department today was also the day she officially became a permanent staff member!

There was a note of joy in Shi Yuanbo’s tone, a kind of "my daughter is finally growing up" delight, whereas Shi Nuan appeared fairly calm.

Knowing Shi Nuan’s temperament, Shi Yuanbo didn’t press her too much. After finishing the official matter, he asked her, "What about Yansheng? Is he next to you?"

Only then did Shi Nuan turn her eyes toward the handsome man beside her. Her thin lips moved slightly as she said, "He is."

Shi Yuanbo nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, give the phone to Yansheng. I’d like to say a few words to him!"

Shi Nuan gave a soft "mm" and handed the phone to Song Yansheng, saying, "My dad wants to talk to you."

Song Yansheng took the phone and greeted Shi Yuanbo on the other end politely, then the two of them talked for about five minutes.

Most of the time, it was Shi Yuanbo talking, and Song Yansheng responding faintly, so Shi Nuan had no idea what they said.

After hanging up, Song Yansheng returned the phone and said to Shi Nuan, "Your father actually does care about you quite a bit."

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered. How should she put it—her Father had indeed been much better to her lately than in the past.

He was even planning to hand the Shi Family over to her. To say she felt no emotion at all would be impossible.

No matter how many things Shi Yuanbo had done over the past ten years that made her sad and disappointed, back before her mother passed away, this Father had still doted on her very much.

Probably it was exactly because he had once loved her too much that she found it so hard afterward to accept that her Father had changed and no longer cared for or loved her.

But after all, blood ties are hard to break. Maybe what Song Yansheng said was right: she needed to improve her relationship with her Father.

After all, keeping things cold between them did her no good at all—especially since that was exactly the situation Li Guirong and her daughter would be most happy to see!

She ought to learn to be smarter, even smarter. Her real enemies were Li Guirong and her daughter, not her Father!

Yes, not her Father!

...

Around ten o’clock in the morning, Shi Nuan received the notice: she had officially become a full‑time employee of the Shi Family and was being transferred to the Project Department to follow up on the Lishui Project.

As for the specifics of her work, she would have to go to the Project Department, where the department supervisor would make the arrangements!

However, since she still had some work on hand that needed to be handed over, and interns were never given anything too important anyway, the handover would be quick. It was estimated that she could report to the Project Department in the afternoon. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The colleagues in the HR Department were all very happy for Shi Nuan. In fact, they had long expected that she wouldn’t be staying in HR for long.

She was, after all, the Shi Family’s young lady and also a shareholder of the Shi Family. In the future, she was bound to be heavily relied upon by President Shi. And sure enough, she was being transferred straight to this year’s most important project department in the Shi Family to follow up the Lishui Project.

Everyone clamored for Shi Nuan to treat them. Having known these colleagues for some time and gotten along well with them, she agreed.

They agreed that after work that evening she would treat them, to celebrate her official confirmation as a permanent employee and also to celebrate her move to the Project Department and the start of a new journey.
