When Xi Xiaye arrived at the bottom of the building, there was still a large group of reporters trying to force their way inside Yueying. The Yueying security guards used up all their forces and could barely hold them back.
She did not halt in her steps as she walked through and stopped at the car beside the crowd.
“Director Xi, are we going straight back to the company?” Xiao Mei asked carefully as Xi Xiaye’s expression seemed cold. She seemed to be even cooler than her usual self.
Xi Xiaye opened the door and sat inside. Buckling up, she said, “Help me send this to the Han Corporation first, and then send the document back to the PR Department.”
She then handed a thick leather-bound envelope to Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei closed the door and took the item from her. Studying it in doubt, she was then surprised to see the address printed on it. As she was about to ask Xi Xiaye something, she changed her mind after she saw Xi Xiaye’s cold face.
Director Xi never liked people discussing her private life, and earlier, she seemed to have had a glimpse of it. Actually, after being by her side for so many years, Xiao Mei had never seen this side of her. Apart from being more headstrong when facing other competitors, she was usually easygoing and gentle.
“Got it, Director!” Xiao Mei replied and then kept the envelope.
…
It was near evening. The sky was turning dark and rain was expected to come soon although the wet roads from the morning were now dried up.
After dropping Xiao Mei off, Xi Xiaye left.
…
Traveling on the road, Xi Xiaye did not really feel right inside.
Mr. Mu had helped her a lot in this matter, so she felt that she needed to thank him properly and with something instant too.
After a while, she had no idea how to thank him. A gift? Flowers? She did not really know what he liked.
She parked her car at a temporary spot and had some quiet time to herself. After that, she grabbed her phone and sent him a message.
Mr. Mu, what do you like?
He was discussing with partnering companies when he received her message. When he took out his phone and saw her one-liner, his face suddenly softened.
Was this girl that free now to find out about him?
He smiled and then replied: I’ll tell you at night.
She replied: Can’t you tell me now?
I’m busy now. I’ll cook you some nice food tonight.
Oh… I want to treat you to a meal tonight…
Sure.
After that, I want to treat you to a movie too.
Mmm.
I’ll go first and tell you the location later.
…
It was the first time Li Si saw Mu Yuchen use his phone when he was at work. He did not even notice when CEO Lu called out to him. After a while, he put his phone aside and his usual calmness returned to his face.
“Master, CEO Lu said…”
“Chairman Mu, can you consider our company’s proposal?” The middle-aged man spoke up as soon as he saw Mu Yuchen’s attention return.
He sipped some tea as he flipped through the document in his hand. “CEO Lu, I’m just a businessman that focuses on the end results. I don’t really mind the process. You just have to focus on your current project. We’ll definitely give you a chance if you provide us with satisfactory results. It all just depends on you.”
The middle-aged man seemed grateful. “Thank you, Chairman Mu. We’ll do our best to achieve perfection!”
Mu Yuchen nodded and closed the folder in his hand., “Mmm, I’m confident in both you and your company. We’ll stop here today. Look for Vice President Wen if you need anything else.”
“Okay, thank you, Chairman Mu!”
…
Xi Xiaye was thinking hard on her own since she did not get an answer from Mu Yuchen. Without realizing it, she had driven to the New Era Plaza.
It was pretty crowded at night. There were people dancing in the public square and the streetlamps were already lit up at 5.30 p.m. since the sky had turned pretty dark. The dim lights shrouded the whole square with a hazy vibe.
Xi Xiaye got down, locked her car, and then went towards the busy streets.
…
At the same time, inside the CEO office of the Han Corporation.
Han Yifeng, who had just returned from City C, was now sitting in front of his table. He was looking at the entertainment news on his screen with a hardened expression as if he was shrouded in ice. He seemed really scary and Secretary Wang beside him shivered a little.
In the few days that CEO Han had left City Z, chaos had ensued. As the orphanage matter was still a popular topic, there was no turning back for Ms. Xinyi now with what had just happened.
Pa!
Han Yifeng slammed the mouse down, seeming all gloomy. Secretary Wang was shocked.
“CEO Han, someone’s probably defaming Ms. Xinyi on purpose. I’ve heard that Ms. Xinyi was attacked the moment she walked out of the hotel, and these incidents…” Secretary Wang tried to explain.
“Just what happened? I remember I wanted you to tell her to appear less in public. What exactly did you tell her?” Han Yifeng glared at Secretary Wang coldly.
“CEO Han, Ms. Xinyi said it was the wedding of Ms. Su Nan and Mr. Ruan Heng, so she wanted to wish them in person. She was just trying to be nice. Unexpectedly, they ran into Ms. Xiaye and things escalated quickly,” Secretary Wang explained.
Han Yifeng’s eyes darkened and a cold light flashed through his pupils. “Xiaye? How is she related to this?”
“No, CEO Han… It’s not related to Ms. Xiaye. Yu Lingling exposed that Ms. Xiaye was expelled from the military academy, and Ms. Xiaye… She left before the banquet ended. Ms. Su Nan thought that Ms. Xinyi…”
Secretary Wang did not continue because he noticed Han Yifeng’s face getting colder and colder. He could feel the chill even though he was standing quite a distance away from him.
“About Xiaye getting expelled from military school? Wasn’t this matter erased? How did they find out?” Han Yifeng demanded.
Secretary Wang shook his head. “Maybe they found out after talking to their friends. What should we do now, CEO Han? Ms. Xinyi has called you many times, and Yueying is now flooded with reporters. I also heard that all of Ms. Xinyi’s films are being halted. Her lead roles in several big films have been removed as well. She gave me a call just now…”
