With just one glance, Xiao Linye shifted his gaze back, but his tone over the phone grew even softer. "Why do you have to work overti? Is the workload too much?"
Xiao Linye thought Ye Yuning had suddenly ntioned working overti because of the remarks made by so people the previous two days. Therefore, he had Kang Xuan move the Finance Departnt out today. Even so, he was surprised she still insisted on working overti. Could it be that the impact of those remarks was truly unshakeable?
Ye Yuning didn’t know what Xiao Linye had done for her, nor did she know what he was thinking at that mont.
She muttered, "I just want to finish earlier here."
"I rember that most of the work for Nanjia Peak has been completed. The subsequent parts aren’t so urgent. You don’t need to work overti."
"Yes, I am! Oh, I can’t talk anymore; I’m hanging up now. You should go back first."
After saying that, Ye Yuning hung up the phone directly.
Xiao Linye listened to the dial tone, looked at Kang Xuan, and threw his phone onto the desk.
CLANG. The noise clearly conveyed his frustration.
Kang Xuan looked nervously at Xiao Linye. "What’s—what’s wrong?"
"Did soone make things difficult for her at work today?" Xiao Linye asked, displeased.
Kang Xuan imdiately shook his head. "No, I made sure of that. I absolutely didn’t let her feel the overti culture of Xiao Corporation."
Xiao Linye said, "Then why does she insist on working overti?"
In his view, she still cared a lot about what others said. For two consecutive days, people had remarked on her punctuality in arriving and departing from work. That must have made her uncomfortable.
Kang Xuan said, "I don’t know about that..."
The people who had criticized her punctuality were either dismissed or transferred. Now, only the Design Departnt was left on that floor! Could it be that she wants to leave Xiao Corporation, and that’s why she wants to complete her work as soon as possible?
"What’s going on?" Xiao Linye asked. She still has that idea? He knew Ye Yuning wanted to leave Xiao Corporation, but that seed unrelated to working overti. She would be fully engaged in her work during office hours. She disliked overti the most.
Kang Xuan originally didn’t want to report the trouble Xiao Shuo was causing Ye Yuning. After all, Xiao Shuo was already quite miserable at the company, having to work overti every day just to finish his tasks. But considering Ye Yuning’s insistence on working overti, Kang Xuan thought it over and figured the problem might lie there.
"Perhaps it’s because of Xiao Shuo!" Kang Xuan said.
Upon hearing it might be because of Xiao Shuo, Xiao Linye’s already dark expression grew even heavier.
He glared at Kang Xuan, coldly asking, "Xiao Shuo?"
"Yes," Kang Xuan nodded.
He reported everything he had seen in the Design Departnt that afternoon to Xiao Linye.
And as Xiao Linye listened, his expression grew increasingly gloomy!
Good. Very good! He had already warned Xiao Shuo so explicitly, yet he still dared to go and trouble her.
"It seems he’s really not busy enough!" Xiao Linye said icily.
Kang Xuan’s heart raced as he listened.
Not busy enough? He rembered Xiao Shuo had slept in the office last night because the workload was too heavy for him to leave. Moreover, Xiao Linye had issued a strict order to Yang Jing that if Xiao Shuo’s work wasn’t completed, he wouldn’t be allowed to leave the company. It seed Yang Jing had also ended up staying in the office with Xiao Shuo last night. This situation had caused Yang Jing to harbor a bellyful of resentnt towards Xiao Shuo as well...! If Xiao Shuo’s workload were really increased now, he would likely have to spend his weekends at the company too, practically moving in.
Xiao Linye, after struggling to contain his anger, said, "Arrange it."
"Yes." Kang Xuan nodded. This truly is Xiao Shuo’s nightmare, he thought. His daily workload was already saturated. Any additional tasks ant he wouldn’t have a mont of free ti.
Just as Kang Xuan turned to leave, he heard Xiao Linye say, "Have Xiao Shuo co over."
"Perhaps I should go inform him myself? You can go pick up Designer Ye from work first?" Kang Xuan suggested.
In the company, Kang Xuan was still more cautious than Lai Shuo, always careful with his words! He knew that Xiao Linye had not disclosed his identity to his wife. He also knew that Xiao Linye didn’t want any mistakes at the company right now, lest his wife notice anything. Therefore, when referring to Ye Yuning, Kang Xuan didn’t dare to directly use a term like ’Mrs. Xiao’, fearing that soone with ulterior motives might overhear. Moreover, he had heard from Lai Shuo before that the old chairman didn’t like Xiao Linye’s current wife. If the old chairman’s people found out that she was working at the company, it would definitely cause a huge problem.
Xiao Linye nodded. "Go on. Make sure sothing like this doesn’t happen again."
"Okay," Kang Xuan replied, then quickly left.
Xiao Linye then glanced at the ti on his wristwatch. It was almost 6:30 PM.
In the past, it wouldn’t have been appropriate for him to go directly to the Design Departnt, but now... that floor had only Ye Yuning on it...
「At this mont, over at the Human Resources Departnt.」
Manager Zhang was making his routine inspection of the office floors before leaving work. And he was surprised to see Ye Yuning, who had been punctual since joining, working overti!
Thinking about the scene earlier today, Manager Zhang felt a jolt of alarm!
"Designer Ye, it’s past working hours now. You should head ho."
Ye Yuning, upon hearing Manager Zhang’s voice, didn’t even lift her head. "I still have so work to do. You can go ahead. I’ll turn off the lights and everything myself in a bit."
Working overti? No, this... Li Xin was fired yesterday for criticizing Ye Yuning about not working overti. Today, the Finance Departnt was moved to another floor because of this whole issue, and now *she’s* saying she wants to work overti?
Manager Zhang imdiately felt uncomfortable. "Xiao Corporation doesn’t require mandatory overti. If you’ve finished your work, please head ho."
Hearing this, Ye Yuning felt sothing was off. Does he an I’m forcing myself to work overti just to follow the crowd?
Looking up from her computer, she said expressionlessly, "I am genuinely busy!"
When Xiao Linye arrived, he saw Manager Zhang persuading Ye Yuning to leave work!
