Mei Shu had a sense of what was going on. Seeing her so nervous, she deflected with a smile, “What delicious dishes are prepared for dinner?”

Lin He forced a smile, “There are a few dishes you love, but I’m worried that with Mom so angry right now, there might be…”

“Don’t worry,” Mei Shu interrupted, reaching out to hold her hand. “Relax, I know why she’s so angry. I’ll explain it to her.”

“Really?” Lin He didn’t want to see a day when Mei Shu and Feng Mo would fall out.

One is a good friend who has saved her from the bottom, with a debt of gratitude.

The other is a mother who sincerely paves the way for her.

But if she really had to choose between them, she would undoubtedly choose Mei Shu without hesitation.

“Absolutely,” Mei Shu patted her arm and glanced at Lu Si, “Take care of him for me, I’ll go see Ms. Feng, and I’ll be back soon.”

“I’ll escort you up.” Lu Si frowned, staring at her legs until he left her at the study door.

Upstairs.

Feng Mo was sitting at the desk, organizing today’s contestant information. She didn’t even look up at the knocking on the door, just coldly said, “Come in.”

Mei Shu pushed the door open, first politely greeted Feng Mo, then limped over to the chair opposite her and sat down. “Ms. Feng, I know why you’re angry, it’s because of the batch of machines at the competition venue, right?”

Feng Mo had never been so furious, it was a kind of anger and resentment at discovering she had been deceived.

She slammed the table, suddenly stood up with fierce eyes, and harshly said, “Then explain to me, I clearly told you to use brand new machines, why did you cut corners and use those unreliable old machines, causing such a serious accident at the competition venue?”

Mei Shu smiled amiably, “Ms. Feng, please calm down first. Even if you don’t trust me, don’t you trust Lin He’s judgment? The fact that she has such a good relationship with me is enough to show that I am a trustworthy person.”

Feng Mo snorted coldly, sneering, “People in business like you are the most cunning. Although Lin He is not young, she lacks social experience. There’s no guarantee she won’t be fooled by you!”

Mei Shu sighed helplessly, “Ms. Feng, you’re really misunderstanding me. I understand your prejudice against people in the business world, and I understand why you would think that way. But you have to believe me, I, Mei Shu, am definitely not the kind of person you disdain the most.”

Feng Mo turned her head in anger, then slowly sat down, taking a deep breath. “So what’s the deal with the machines?”

Mei Shu said, “Indeed, I bought a batch of brand new machines according to your instructions to operate the entire competition venue. But on the day of acceptance, I received news that the machines malfunctioned due to water ingress and were all scrapped.”

“What did you say?” Feng Mo keenly sensed something suspicious. “How could perfectly good machines have water ingress? There’s no water source in the control room!”

“That’s the problem,” Mei Shu nodded earnestly. “But this matter has never been conclusively determined. There were no surveillance cameras installed at the competition site at the time, so there was no way to investigate. However, after tonight’s probing, I have figured out who was behind it.”

Feng Mo frowned, her voice becoming more severe, “I’m asking you, since the batch of new machines purchased initially were unusable, why didn’t you explain all this to me and instead took it upon yourself to switch to old machines?”

“Because I couldn’t let the money go to waste,” Mei Shu said.

“So you substituted inferior machines and got caught red-handed?” Feng Mo’s sarcasm intensified. “Mei Shu, your unilateral decision-making makes it very hard for me to trust you.”

“Ms. Feng, you’re mistaken again,” Mei Shu said calmly. “I didn’t use old machines to deceive you. In fact, that batch of old machines was just a cover. The real batch of machines was hidden in another control room, where only my secretary and I had the keys.”

“Are you saying you didn’t use that batch of old machines at all?” Feng Mo was completely puzzled.

Things were clearly very different from what she had imagined.

Mei Shu smiled, “Exactly, but the real mastermind behind the scenes doesn’t know that. Their goal was to force me to use old machines for profit, to go against our agreement, and then tamper with them during the competition to deliberately cause problems with the old machines, so that you would discover everything and completely sever our relationship.”

“How can I believe you?” Feng Mo asked cautiously.

Mei Shu had anticipated she would say that and handed her the invoice for the purchase of the new machines, which she had already prepared as evidence. “It took me a lot of effort to procure these new machines. The time on this invoice is after your inspection, which is enough to prove that everything I said is true. If you still don’t believe me, you can go to the manufacturer and ask in person to see if what I said is true.”

Feng Mo glanced at her, then lowered her gaze to inspect the invoice. After confirming its authenticity, the fire in her heart finally subsided.
