While one issue with the relatives was solved back at the mansion itself, Li Xue just not had this issue to look over. She also had to keep an eye on the matters going on in the royal family as well.
A few days passed and she kept on dwelling over various things that appeared about the royales slowly and slowly. The schedule of the royal association project was also about to begin soon and with its date of restarting, Li Xue has set her deadline. She needed to prepare herself for everything within the span of time she was resting as after that, she knew that she wouldn't be getting any extra time to look over it.
And that's why even today, she was in the study, looking through the details Gao Fan has given to her. She was in the middle of reading when suddenly she heard a dinge of mail on her mailbox. And before she could check what that mail was about, her phone rang distracting her from it.
Li Xue looked at the number and then quirked her brow at it before receiving it. "Hello!" She began but before she could proceed to say more, the voice on the other side interrupted.
"Boss, you were awesome for giving us that job. It was challenging enough to energize our brain cells. And now after completing it we can handle our boring work for at least months with ease. Please reach us again with a new job. We would be happy to help you again." The girl on the call chimed and Li Xue's brows raised in surprise.
"Did you complete it already?" She asked and heard the girl hum on the other side of the call.
"Yes, boss. It's done. Did you not check the detailed mail we forward to you?"
Li Xe pulled her phone back and checked the notification on her phone to say, "How can I check it? You called me just after my mailbox noted your receiving of the mail. Anyway, thanks for the help. If I found something interesting, I would reach all of you again. Until then I will wish you all the best of luck with your work." She said and then pulled the phone away to disconnect the call.
Once disconnected, she went first to check the mail. Her lips curled up in appreciation. "Definitely, these people are great. Noting each of the details as I want." She said before creating a pdf to save in one of the secret files.
She was busy with her own job when suddenly, she heard a knock at the door. Lifting her gaze up, she checked only to find Gao Fan standing there with his usual stoic expression. Since she was already happy with the details she got when faced with the serious expression of the man, her lips only curled deeper in greeting.
"Mr. Secretary, you are here? Come, sit. I am sure that since you are here you must also have something to report otherwise you wouldn't have cared to leave your President at the office." She said and she wasn't wrong to guess it as just after she said that, Gao Fan entered to say.
"Madam, you weren't wrong to guess that. Ms. Zhang has met someone related to the Royal project. Though no evidence came up to show her inclusion in the faulty act, we have a strong suspicion in it."
Gao Fan said and Li Xue nodded all calmly to it. Her poised demeanor does not show even a silver line or surprise as though she has asked Gao Fan to check it, she has long believed that her suspicion regarding the matter wasn't wrong.
"So, who is it? Is it one of Shen Bingling's lackeys?" She asked and her askance like that stunned Gao Fan for a moment.
He tranced off thinking about it for a moment but then nodding, he agreed. "Yes, Madam. It's one of them. But do you not think that Ms. Shen might also be one involved in it?"
Li Xue pondered for a moment but then smiled, shaking her head while staring at Gao Fan. "Mr. Secretary, you forwarded me all the details regarding the royal family. I believe that while gathering the information all in one file, you must have also gone through it for checking purposes. Have you?" She asked and the man nodded.
Of course, he had to check. He can't process the wrong information. So to confirm the details he has himself kept an eye on the process.
"Then that means as far as I have understood the character of the royals, you must also know it. Then tell me how do you think the royal family usually does the job? Do they go themselves to complete it or do they take the help of the others to sow and then reap the profits?"
She asked and the answer to her question was very clear. Even a person who has not read the detailed files on the royals could easily answer it.
Gao Fan paused. At first, he thought the lady was not serious with her question but when he saw her waiting to hear from him, he replied, "Madam, not just the royals, any capable person would be the same. They would employ the efforts of others to sow first before reaping the profits. That way, they would not just save themselves from extra work but would also prevent bringing the wrong influence on themselves if for some reason the work doesn't go well."
He said and Li Xue smiled at him as if he has answered the question he was looking for.
"Exactly, Mr. Secretary. If that's how capable people work, why would Shen Bingling go and take the straight blame of everything on herself? She could always let her lackeys handle it for her, until and unless it is not her plan but the plan of one of her lackeys." She said and her words and logic all came perfectly, hitting the bullseye.
Although it was something simple, Gao Fan has not thought with this perspective. But now that he had heard, he accepted that it was not wrong to think in this way. "Madam, since we have already found the main culprit behind the tampering of your shoes, what do we have to do next? Should I inform President Feng about it?"
Li Xue shook her head. "He already has a lot to do these days. Let him handle his stuff first, while I will handle this on my own. I have thought of something already. Just help me fix a meeting with Princess Shen.. And for the rest, I will tell you later."? She said and nodding to his command, Gao Fan accepted
