What does he an, it has nothing to do with ? If this announcent goes out, the damage to will be imnse. And it’s all because of Xiao Linye! Here in Upper City, I already have no partnerships. If it gets out that I bought fake certificates... wouldn’t everyone think there’s sothing wrong with ?
"So, you *do* realize your reputation can be tarnished?" Qin Jinchuan said. "When you did that to back then, why didn’t I see you thinking so much?"
"You were just a fool back then. What kind of reputation did you need?" Ye Yuning retorted irritably.
The word ’fool’ successfully darkened Qin Jinchuan’s face.
"Besides, this definitely can’t be announced! No way, absolutely not!" Ye Yuning exclaid, reacting instantly, determined not to let Qin Jinchuan do such a thing.
"It’s not up to you!" Qin Jinchuan stated flatly.
"Seriously?" Ye Yuning was so angry she stamped her foot. "Are you trying to force my hand by being shaless?"
"Otherwise," Qin Jinchuan said, "just announce to everyone that it was ."
"How could it be you?" Ye Yuning asked.
"Can’t I have changed my na?"
"To Qin Jinye?"
Qin Jinchuan’s face went completely dark. This damn woman. Once she’s divorced, I’ll deal with her properly.
"But you didn’t change your na before, did you? So now...!" Ye Yuning started.
"Shut up!" Qin Jinchuan’s fierce shout silenced her completely.
The situation was already chaotic. With her incessant babbling, it seed no solution would work. It had co down to two extres: either her reputation would be utterly ruined, or he would continue to be a laughingstock.
Seeing the dangerous expression on his face, Ye Yuning almost cried out, "It really won’t work. No matter what, it just won’t work."
Qin Jinchuan’s breathing grew heavy. He wanted to strangle this woman right now; then his world would finally be peaceful.
When Qin Jinchuan remained silent, Ye Yuning’s stance hardened. "I don’t care what you’re thinking, it’s just not going to happen. Absolutely not."
"So, you think you’re in the right, do you?" he challenged.
"No, I’m not right!" she said, her voice laced with grievance, like a bullied young wife.
Qin Jinchuan watched her, his gaze dimming for a mont, but he ultimately suppressed the anger in his heart.
"I’ll handle this," Qin Jinchuan stated. "From now on, ignore whatever anyone outside says. Don’t pay attention, and don’t respond."
"Do you really want to be known for buying fake certificates? Can’t you be less cruel?" Ye Yuning pleaded.
"This matter *must* be handled this way."
Ye Yuning was speechless. That one word, "must," made her feel utterly hopeless. What kind of people had she gotten mixed up with!
Qin Jinchuan was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
「Half an hour later, he finally left.」
Once she was alone in the office, Ye Yuning massaged her forehead. My head is throbbing.
Luo Xin ca in. "Boss, are you sure you’re not feeling unwell?"
Although Ye Yuning had said she was fine, Luo Xin could clearly see her complexion was terrible.
Ye Yuning waved her hand dismissively. "Don’t talk to ."
My head feels like it’s about to explode. If this keeps up, I might actually die.
"But, Boss, you have a eting," Luo Xin reminded her.
So, even if she wanted a quiet mont, there was no ti.
Hearing it was ti for the eting, Ye Yuning stood up. "Alright, let’s go."
I hope I can keep busy now! Only when I’m completely swamped will I stop thinking about these wretched things.
The eting, including a video conference, lasted a full half hour.
It had to be said, her usual practice of letting subordinates handle things was the right decision. Their organizational skills in other cities were quite high, and they quickly got matters there sorted out. Especially Chen Wei. She had only been my assistant before, yet she played the most crucial role in preparing the office and arranging personnel. Sotis, people you cultivate from the grassroots are just more effective than those you poach.
「When the eting ended, it was already eleven o’clock.」
"Boss," Luo Xin asked, "should I arrange lunch for you?"
"Go ahead," Ye Yuning replied. She had no desire to go out now. I don’t want to parade myself around town.
Thinking about all those tis I went out to eat with Xiao Linye, my scalp still tingles! No wonder Xiao Shuo always suspected my relationship with him. He even insulted harshly, saying I’d climbed into Xiao Qiye’s bed! Back then, I thought Xiao Shuo was just crazy. But now... I really have climbed into his bed, and thoroughly at that. I’m even carrying his child. It’s not just Xiao Linye I feel guilty facing; even with Xiao Shuo, I’ve lost all my forr righteousness.
"Okay," Luo Xin acknowledged, nodding before turning to arrange lunch.
Ye Yuning returned to her office, and just then, her phone vibrated. Unsurprisingly, it was Xiao Linye. She picked it up; indeed, it was him.
She answered, her voice faltering, "H-husband~!"
Calling him ’husband’ never felt awkward before, but now, I feel so guilty.
From the other end of the line, Xiao Linye asked softly, "What would you like for lunch?"
