‘What accident? How is he now? Listening to you guys, even I think Secretary Xu is a good man.” Yin Tao pretended to be ignorant and asked the two people in front of her.
“Sigh, there was an accident at his house. There was a fire, and it was especially serious. Secretary Xu and his wife both died on the spot,” Xiaojie said sadly. “I heard that Secretary Xu’s youngest daughter survived, but without her biological parents, that child’s life will probably not be easy in the future.”
As expected, everyone’s description of the accident in Xu Rui’s family was similar to the police’s report.
“Could he have committed suicide? Many people are under a lot of pressure now.” Yin Tao deliberately voiced her other guesses and waited for Nana and Xiao Jie to respond.
“That’s not possible. Secretary Xu’s family relationship is very harmonious. Moreover, President Wan has always valued him very much. What pressure can there be for a person who has a good job and a loving family?” Nana shot down Yin Tao’s guess.
“However, I heard from the design department that Secretary Xu might have offended someone.” Xiaojie said to Yin Tao and Nana with a knowing look, “Someone said that a few days before Secretary Xu’s accident, he was acting a little out of character.’
“Is that so? During that period of time, Secretary Xu did come to the company often, but I didn’t notice anything unusual.” Nana recalled some of Xu Rui’s actions when he was alive. Although she felt that there was something inexplicable, she still pretended to be very calm.
Yin Tao grasped the main point of Xiaojie’s words and pretended to be curious as she probed, “But who can a secretary like us offend?”
“It’s not easy for us to offend anyone, but Secretary Xu is different. He’s
President Wan’s secretary. He takes care of many things in the company. Sometimes, President Wan doesn’t come to the company personally at all. It’s all up to Secretary Xu to convey his instructions.”
Xiaojie complained regretfully, “So, it’s not that easy to be a secretary. If you’re targeted, your life might be in danger.”
“It’s not as scary as you make it sound.” Nana shook her head and explained to Yin Tao, ‘Xiaojiang, don’t listen to his nonsense. Secretary Xu’s situation is different from ours. You have nothing to worry about.”
Yin Tao was naturally not afraid, but she was a little curious about Nana’s words. “Sister Nana, then what kind of dangerous people or things are in our company? What should I look out for?”
“You won’t be able to come into contact with those people or things that Secretary Xu came into contact with. Besides, it was clearly an accident. It’s not as scary as the rumors say.”
Nana waved at Xiaojie. “Go back to your seat. Don’t frighten Xiaojiang.” Xiaojie smiled and walked back to his seat, and stopped talking about this matter.
“Sister Nana, can you tell me what the rumors are about? I’m very curious. If you don’t tell me, I’ll keep thinking about this.” Yin Tao smiled awkwardly and ingratiated herself with Nana.
“I can tell you, but keep this to yourself. After all, this isn’t a good thing for the Wan Corporation.” Nana was bored anyway. Usually, everyone would gather around and chat. Now that Yin Tao was a newcomer, Nana was willing to talk to her about some things in the company.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid.”
Yin Tao looked at Nana expectantly, and the other party cleared her throat. “Actually, there’s some basis for the rumors. I also discovered something strange a few days before Secretary Xu’s accident.”
“Secretary Xu is someone President Wan trusts very much. Not just because he was very capable, but also mainly because his personality is especially stable.” Nana wasn’t guarded against Yin Tao at all, she thought she was just a curious little girl.
“However, some time before the fire at his house, I saw that he often got distracted and was making mistakes at work. It wouldn’t be strange if it were anyone else, but Secretary Xu has always been very careful and serious, so everyone noticed this abnormal behavior.”
Nana paused for a moment and continued to say to Yin Tao, “Even President Wan noticed this change in behavior. When I was waiting for the elevator, I saw Secretary Xu and President Wan chatting. At that time, President Wan even told Secretary Xu to take a break as he hadn’t been in a good state, but Secretary Xu declined.. “
