Chapter 17: The Production Line Halts

（沈明）对苏家的现状一无所知,但即使没有深思熟虑,她也能猜到顾枫（顾枫）此刻大发雷霆.容兆南（Rong Zhaonan）轻轻地把她放在车上,安顿好后,他立即指示助理开车去私家医院.在某个时候,卓航（卓航）变得异常警觉,小心翼翼地拉高了前后座之间的隔板,以确保隐私.外界被关上,沈明靠在座位上,感觉精力充沛了几分.她心不在焉地揉了揉肚子,低下头沉思.过了一会儿,仿佛感觉到她感觉好些了,他的眼睛因一种会心的强烈而变暗,他轻声问道:"你现在感觉好些了吗?沈明缓缓坐起身,依旧揉着自己的肚子."看起来好多了,"她说,她的声音几乎是随意的.他的语气急转直下."所以,你伪装完了吗?""假装?"沈明难以置信地眨了眨眼,睁大了眼睛.她没想到他会这么轻易地看穿她.她镇定地将双手放回肚子上."我不是在装.老实说,疼痛不再那么严重了.我孩子的父亲,你应该有这种感觉...我认为...婴儿可能刚刚踢了一脚,"她说,她的话几乎令人信服,嘴角勾起淡淡的笑容,眼神也柔和了一点.容兆南眯起眼睛,几乎难以置信."沈明,你才怀孕一个月.你怎么会感到踢腿?你知道你在说什么吗?他的话让她一时无言以对.她狡黠地笑了笑,然后短暂的停顿后,闪过一个甜美而顺从的微笑."这是我第一次当妈妈.不像你,你有那么多经验.我想这种痛苦可能是因为两个婴儿焦躁不安.不过,很抱歉打扰了你.你把我送到前面的拐角怎么样?剩下的我就好了.容兆南挑了挑眉,他的表情难以捉摸,他沉默地看了她一眼.意识到他的目光太强烈,沈明慢慢坐直了身子,双手离开了她的腹部."荣先生,你刚才好像很着急.你的额头出汗了.你不是应该去接顾峰吗?如果我们继续这样下去,她不会误会吗?我看到她刚才因为担心而红了眼睛.他突然冷笑一声."所以,你不再痛苦了吗?你怎么还有时间担心顾风?"不,我只是担心她可能会误会.我是一个总是为他人着想的人..."她停顿了一下,盯着他湿漉漉的衣服."对了,你的西装湿了.我以后会还给你的."还我?你连房租都付不起,对吧?他的话尖锐地打断了,忘记了她现在已经成为苏家的女儿的事实,一件衣服似乎并不重要."荣先生,我没意识到你这么关心我,连我的房租情况都记得这么清楚.别担心衣服,我其实还有些多余的钱..."她的话悬而未决,嘴角露出最淡淡的笑容.就在这时,她的电话响了,打断了谈话.她向容兆南示意,示意她需要接听电话.是她的助理莱因（Lai Yin）,电话接通的那一刻,他急切地说话."沈小姐,中山的几条生产线已经停产了.他们昨天都停了.沈明的表情瞬间变了.容兆南立刻察觉到了她举止的转变.她之前受影响的行为消失了,取而代之的是冰冷,果断的眼神——她的转变迅速而引人注目.现在,沈明的眉头深深地皱了起来.除非资金出现严重问题,否则生产线不会轻易关闭.她最近向工厂注入的资金应该足以维持工厂的运转.唯一的其他解释是有人在幕后与她作对.有人试图破坏她."我以为公关危机已经解决了?还有其他问题吗?沈明问道,她的声音因急促而紧绷."了解生产线的 Liu 怎么说.""The quality of our products was inspected as per your request, and the report should be ready by the afternoon. The PR company, Yidu, has already issued an apology. However, Liu's assistant said that Liu is currently in Finland and can't be reached for now.""He's out of the country?" Shen Ming frowned. "Liu Zha, huh. I've been cautious about everything but didn't expect the problem to come from inside.""Has Yidu fired Cheng Anyi yet?" she pressed.There was a pause on the other end, followed by a hesitant answer: "No…"Shen Ming's voice rose, fury barely contained. "What?!"The sudden outburst startled容兆南, who was still sitting next to her. Shen Ming took a deep breath and spoke more softly. "What exactly is going on? Tell me everything."Lai Yin's response came quickly. "Yidu only issued a personal apology regarding your dispute with Cheng Anyi, claiming it was an individual employee's actions and not the company's fault. They didn't even mention whether the products were faulty or not."It was just like Jiang Shaomo's style—to wash his hands of the matter and leave her to deal with it."And what about Cheng Anyi? Are they planning to fire her?""Apparently not. Cheng Anyi issued a statement this morning claiming your recording was fabricated and artificial. She's preparing to send a lawyer's letter and sue you."Shen Ming pressed her forehead, realizing she had underestimated Cheng Anyi."Where are you now?" she asked."I'm on my way to pick you up. I'm at the Gongshan Road intersection," Lai Yin replied."Wait for me there. I'll be there in a moment," Shen Ming ordered, hanging up the phone. She glanced down at her half-wet clothes—she'd been in such a hurry earlier, being whisked away by容兆南, she hadn't had time to change."Mr. Rong, I need to take care of some matters. I can't go to the hospital anymore. Please drop me off at the intersection ahead. My assistant will pick me up."容兆南's gaze softened a bit. "Are you sure you're feeling better?""Yes, much better," Shen Ming nodded."Good," he said, pressing the button to inform the driver to stop. Then, he turned to her and asked, "Are you heading to the office?"Shen Ming nodded, and the car stopped. As she opened the door to get out, she heard容兆南's voice behind her. "Shen Ming.""Yes?"She turned around slowly."Be careful. Don't forget, you're carrying two little heirs of the Rong family."When Lai Yin arrived to pick her up, he noticed she seemed in an unusually good mood."Miss Shen, why are you smiling?" he asked curiously.Shen Ming laughed softly, though she hadn't realized she was smiling.Lai Yin raised an eyebrow. "By the way, Miss Shen, I heard you moved to the Yingtian Mansion. Isn't that the luxury district?"Yingtian Mansion was the Su residence's address.Shen Ming didn't hesitate to satisfy his curiosity. "Strictly speaking, I'm now half a rich person myself…"
