After lunch.
Ye Yuning requested a leave of absence from the HR departnt. When Manager Zhang heard she was requesting leave, his tone was clearly displeased.
"Designer Ye, today is only your second day at work."
Ye Yuning retorted, "Can’t I take leave on my second day?"
At that mont, her temper was threatening to flare up again.
It was only her second day at work. On her first day, she had already endured a suffocating atmosphere in the office, and now Qin Jinchuan’s matter was so tricky.
This spark of anger finally ignited, and Ye Yuning couldn’t hold it back any longer.
Manager Zhang said, "It’s not that you can’t take leave, but what is your reason?"
"I have sothing to do."
"What is it that you have to do?"
Ye Yuning fell silent. If I have sothing to do, I have sothing to do. Why ask what it is?
"Isn’t that a matter of privacy?"
Manager Zhang said, "What I an is, if it’s not too important, please try not to let it affect your work."
"Would I ask for leave if it weren’t important?" Ye Yuning raised her voice.
What’s with these people, asking all sorts of questions just for a leave request?
She had little patience to begin with, and Manager Zhang’s few words completely exasperated her.
Without waiting for Manager Zhang to agree or disagree, Ye Yuning abruptly hung up the phone.
On the other end, Manager Zhang heard the dial tone and his face turned downright dark!
His brows furrowed tightly!
Thinking back to the gossip from Li Xin and Liu Ying, he couldn’t help but wonder. Did this Designer Ye really think that just because Master Qi had entered Xiao Corp, she could actually beco the mistress here?
Manager Zhang, who had initially been quite polite, now also had a poor impression of Ye Yuning.
Imdiately, he picked up the landline on his desk and directly called the president’s office...
「On Ye Yuning’s side.」
After hanging up on Manager Zhang, she imdiately got into Tang Xi’s car. Tang Xi personally drove her to Qin Corp.
In the car, Tang Xi looked at Ye Yuning’s face repeatedly. "What happened to your face?"
She had wanted to ask earlier. However, when Ye Yuning first appeared, all attention had been on Qin Jinchuan.
Speaking of her face!
Ye Yuning said, "It’s makeup."
"Huh?"
"So I have a reason to wear a mask," Ye Yuning added.
Now Tang Xi understood.
So, Yuning was also worried about being recognized by the people at Xiao Corp?
Tang Xi had initially wanted to advise Ye Yuning not to hide things too excessively, as it would be difficult to explain later. She thought Ye Yuning should tell Xiao Linye the truth when the ti was right. But now, it seed there was no need to say anything. If the situation with Qin Jinchuan didn’t resolve favorably, Ye Yuning would have to quickly break things off with Xiao Linye.
Tang Xi sighed, "One Xifeng, one Blue Island. This actually shows that Qin Jinchuan is retaliating against you. You should be ntally prepared."
Ye Yuning said nothing.
Hearing this, her grip on her purse strap tightened subconsciously.
As she turned her gaze to the scenery outside the car window, a complex emotion uncontrollably surfaced in her eyes.
Xiao Linye had been very good to her recently; it could even be said he was the only warmth she had experienced in her life so far.
He was like a beam of light shining into her cold world.
Her ti with him had shown Ye Yuning that life could actually be like this.
Before, her existence could at best be described as re survival—just a matter of living well or poorly!
Seeing she didn’t respond, Tang Xi sighed again. "You and he are ultimately not from the sa world."
From the sa world? Then who was she from the sa world as? People like Xiao Shuo? Indeed, their worlds weren’t simple! They were fraught with troubles and risks.
Ever since she and Xiao Linye had so professional involvent, Ye Yuning had constantly worried that she would negatively affect him.
And now, even more so...!
「At Xiao Corp.」
Xiao Linye had originally wanted to have lunch with Ye Yuning, but she said a friend was coming over.
So, at noon, he just had a quick bite in his office.
When Kang Xuan entered, he saw Xiao Linye heading towards the lounge area.
"Master," Kang Xuan called out timidly.
Xiao Linye detected the unusual note in his voice and frowned. "What is it?"
Kang Xuan said, "Just now, Manager Zhang from HR called the internal line to say that Madam has requested the afternoon off."
"Requested off? For what reason?"
"She didn’t specify. Manager Zhang said Madam’s attitude was particularly poor, and she hung up when he asked for the reason."
Kang Xuan couldn’t help but feel a shiver of apprehension as he said this.
He was now quite curious about Madam as well. How could she be so bold? Requesting leave on her second day, and so imperiously!
Xiao Linye’s voice rose, clearly displeased. "A poor attitude? What sort of attitude was he expecting from her?"
Kang Xuan was taken aback by this response!
Was Lord Xiao displeased with Manager Zhang? Kang Xuan wondered. After a conflicted cough, he said, "Manager Zhang didn’t know it was Madam."
Xiao Linye’s expression remained dark.
Clearly, it didn’t matter whether Manager Zhang knew or not.
Under Kang Xuan’s apprehensive gaze, Xiao Linye leaned back in his office chair and took a sip from the water cup before him.
Then, he asked in a cold voice, "Is overti a serious problem in our company?"
"I don’t think so? People generally leave on ti, don’t they?" Kang Xuan replied uncertainly.
He, at least, usually left on ti unless sothing urgent ca up, as he knew the Master disliked overti.
In the Master’s view, people who worked overti were those who couldn’t complete their assigned tasks within regular work hours.
Wait, weren’t we talking about Madam? Why did he suddenly bring up overti?
