Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Proofread by He Li

Si Wan walks in a hurry. As she is the person who has been in charge of the company’s accounts, how could there be something wrong?

Si Wan walks into the office in confusion. Before asking Xiaoyu about what has happened, she immediately sees Yan Xiuya come in with a procession of people.

“Si Wan, your position of Director is suspended temporarily, and the final decision will be made after we get the result of investigation.” Looking at Yan Xiuya’s solemn face, Si Wan knows that the company’s accounts have got a big problem, which makes her panicked for an instant.

“Mother, sorry, Chairman Yan, I have no idea of what has happened.” Feeling kind of anxious, Si Wan really doesn’t know how serious the problem is, which makes her position be suspended.

“There’s a deficit in the company’s accounts and a big amount of money is missing. This is the reason you asked about!” Yan Xiuya questions Si Wan with a sharp voice. Standing still, Si Wan becomes stunned: A deficit? That’s impossible. She checked the accounts before, how could there be such a problem?

“Isn’t there any misunderstanding? Director Si has been…” Xiaoyu looks worried. She received a notice this morning informing that there is something wrong with the company’s accounts, but the accounts which Director Si is in charge of have never been wrong before. How could such a big problem emerge so suddenly?

“That’s enough. Everything will be clear after the investigation. Si Wan, for now you must go home and reflect on what has happened.” Yan Xiuya looks livid, as she has always trusted Si Wan and has given Si Wan real power to manage the company. She never expected that this time such a big problem has popped up, which is so humiliating that she even doesn’t know how to face up the Broad of Directors who are very hard to cope with.

“Chairman Yan, right now I still have no idea about the condition, so isn’t it too arbitrary to suspend me from my duties?” Si Wan tries to defend herself as there will never be such a problem with the accounts she handled. There must be something wrong.

But Yan Xiuya directly claims to suspend her position, which will definitely provide chances for others to make a gossip that she is exactly acting corruptly. Therefore, she can’t sit there passively, only waiting for the results.

“There must be something wrong, please give me a chance to participate in the investigation.” Looking at Yan Xiuya with determination, Si Wan believes that if she is not wrong, there is probably somebody cheating on the accounts, so she must find out who the person is.

Yan Xiuya looks stiff, and the Board of Directors behind her start to discuss with each other. At this moment it is necessary to control the condition, so Si Wan looks fearlessly at those members of Board: “As the Director of the company, it is my duty to take the responsibility when such a problem arises, but it doesn’t mean that I will be responsible for the groundless frame-up, so I am determined to make it clear to everyone.”

Standing straightly and uprightly, Si Wan looks quite calm and cautious, which wins the appreciation of Yan Xiuya. Yan starts to feel that Si Wan is exactly the most suitable leader in the Gongshi Group, so a hesitation flashes through her eyes.

“It’s obvious that there’s something wrong with the company’s accounts, so allowing you to investigate also means giving you a chance to justify yourself.” One of the members of Board of Directors presents his objection, but Si Wan is not swayed.

“The accounts under my charge have never been wrong before, and if there is a problem, it will absolutely be found earlier. So I’m sure someone is cheating on the accounts. Please give me some time and I swear to figure it out.”

Looking directly at the Board of Directors, Si Wan succeeds in making them silent for a moment through her reasonable statement, after which Yan Xiuya has to give a little cough to attract everyone’s attention.

“Ahem, Si Wan, as the Chief Financial Director, you are bound to take the responsibility when there are any problems. But right now in order to fix it, looking for the root cause is the most urgent…”

Yan Xiuya presents the plan with a severe countenance, and the Board of Directors also agrees with her. After a careful consideration, Si Wan shows her agreement to the plan but still disagrees with her suspension.

“Chairman Yan, Board of Directors, as the Financial Director I must be responsible for this problem, but I also hope that you can give me a chance to prove myself. I am sure that there is somebody cheating, and I believe it’s my duty to find it out.”

Yan Xiuya is quite surprised at Si Wan’s eloquence and strenuous arguments. She has always thought that Si Wan is a soft and submissive woman, but now she finds Si Wan kind of courageous, which is a shock to her.

“But your suspicion can’t be cleared completely…” Raising her eyebrows, Yan Xiuya deliberately challenges Si Wan, as she increasingly hopes to see where Si Wan’s potentials lie.

“Well…” Si Wan seems a little hesitant, as it is true that she doesn’t have any proof to justify herself; what’s more, the deficit of the company is exactly the proof of her corruption, so how could she prove that she is not the person who appropriated the money?

Si Wan becomes nervous, after which Yan Xiuya speaks: “Three days, I will give you only three days, in which period you are supposed to handle this; but if you fail, this must be handed over to us and you will be suspended.”

Yan Xiuya makes the decision beyond any doubt. Although some members of the Board of Directors are intended to show their disagreement, after seeing Yan Xiuya’s solemn face, they reluctantly agree with the arrangement.

Si Wan bites tightly on her lower lip. Even if she doesn’t sleep or rest, it is impossible to check all the company’s accounts in three days, let alone find out the problem.

“Could you please extend the time limit?” Raising her head, Si Wan looks into Yan Xiuya’s cold black eyes where she fails to find any hint of emotion.

“Time waits for no one, you’d better hurry up.” Yan Xiuya turns back and leaves, followed by the procession of people.

Si Wan frowns as worry spreads in her heart. Xiaoyu comes to Si Wan right after those people leave.

“Director, are you OK? I was quite scared just now, how could you be so brave to bargain with them?” Covering her chest, Xiaoyu looks quite upset.

Si Wan gives a bitter smile: it is inevitable to get a full schedule recently.

“Xiaoyu, get all the accounts here, we need to work extra hours these days.”

Si Wan looks very solemn: it is impossible for the company’s accounts to be wrong; but if there is really such a big problem to shock the Board of Directors, it only means that she has been framed.

“Director, they are all here.” Xiaoyu brings a large pile of documents to Si Wan. Looking at the piles on the table, Xiaoyu begins to have cold sweats on her forehead.

“If we choose to check in this way, when can we finish?” Xiaoyu’s anxious expression amuses Si Wan.

“I have no idea. But if we don’t try, I will be forced to lose my job and go home.”

Seeing Si Wan smiling and shaking her head, Xiaoyu pouts more obviously: “Here is the missing money mentioned by the Board of Directors…”

Carefully looking at the accounts in Xiaoyu’s hands, Si Wan finds out the problem instantly.

The money was not handled by her. It seems that this is the key to the problem. The corners of Si Wan’smouth rise slightly: It seems that it won’t be too hard to solve the problem, but she still needs some time to check the raw files.

However, can she solve it in only three days? Looking at the piles, Si Wan gasps in anxiety again.

Being busy all day, when Si Wan raises her head, she finds the night has fallen. Giving a slight sigh, Si Wan looks at the piles on the table which do not diminish in number at all. At this rate, can she manage to stay in the Gongshi Group three days later?
