Ye Yuning gave him an icy glare.
Xiao Linye just looked at her, his eyes seeming to say that if she didn’t speak, he wouldn’t leave today.
Irritated, Ye Yuning picked up the water cup from the table, took a sip, and then tossed out a statent, "I worked overti last night and didn’t have dinner. After midnight, I went out for a late-night snack and encountered two thugs. Lai Shuo saw it and didn’t help."
Xiao Linye was rendered speechless.
The air instantly stilled.
Xiao Linye’s breathing hitched violently!
In disbelief, he looked at Ye Yuning. "He saw it?"
The mont he spoke, his tone was clearly filled with utter disbelief!
Ye Yuning retorted, "He knew I was injured, so how could he possibly not have seen being molested by two thugs?"
"Xiao Linye, I really want to know, what was your main purpose in assigning Lai Shuo to my side? Was it just to monitor ?"
Besides knowing whether she t Qin Jinchuan each day, what other use did Lai Shuo serve?
Xiao Linye’s thin lips were tightly pursed, a deep, dangerous light flickering in his eyes.
He swallowed hard and looked at Ye Yuning again, wanting to say sothing, but though his lips moved, no words ca out.
Eventually, he stood up, his entire being radiating an icy chill.
「Twenty minutes later.」
Xiao Linye appeared at Xiao’s.
Lai Shuo had inford Xiao Linye the previous night that he wouldn’t be picking up Ye Yuning today, so he had gone directly to Xiao’s this morning to clock in.
Seeing Xiao Linye approach, he respectfully stepped forward. "Sir, the eting is about to start. All the materials are prepared."
BANG!
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy punch struck Lai Shuo’s face.
Lai Shuo was dazed, his thoughts scattered and impossible to collect.
Before he could react, his collar was violently grabbed, and another punch landed on his face!
There were many people in the office at that mont!
Witnessing this scene, everyone was too shocked to react.
After what felt like countless punches, the frustration Xiao Linye had accumulated finally seed to dissipate significantly.
He straightened his disheveled clothes and, looking down at Lai Shuo who lay on the ground still dazed, bit out, "Get out of Xiao’s right now!"
The crowd was stunned into silence.
Lai Shuo was equally dumbfounded.
Hearing Xiao Linye’s command, everyone thought they had misheard, looking at him in utter disbelief.
Lai Shuo had been with him for many years.
His businesses abroad had always been managed by Lai Shuo and Kang Xuan, who were constantly by his side!
All eyes then turned to Lai Shuo, silently questioning what he could have possibly done to provoke such intense fury from Xiao Linye.
This was especially true for Lai Shuo. Upon hearing Xiao Linye’s words, his already scattered thoughts seed to shatter completely.
"Sir, Sir..."
Xiao Linye showed no intention of listening. He turned around coldly, then slamd the door to his office.
He then picked up the phone to call the HR departnt, instructing them to imdiately assign him a new assistant.
As for Lai Shuo, he was to be fired imdiately!
This was no longer a simple matter of transferring him to so remote, harsh post; Xiao Linye never wanted to see Lai Shuo again.
The HR departnt, upon receiving this call, imdiately snapped to attention.
Changing the assistant in the CEO’s office was a major event!
Xiao Linye slamd down the phone. Just then, Lai Shuo, his face covered in injuries, knocked and entered.
Xiao Linye was signing docunts, his head down. Lai Shuo, his entire body stiff, ca to stand rigidly opposite Xiao Linye’s desk.
"Sir, I... I know I was wrong..."
He imdiately admitted his mistake, his attitude sincere.
Xiao Linye didn’t even look up.
This indifferent attitude made Lai Shuo even more rigid.
He had assud that Xiao Linye would imdiately rush to Qi Mulan’s side if any issue arose with her.
He had thought Xiao Linye’s concern for his ex-wife was rely out of a sense of obligation.
However, it now seed the situation was not as simple as he had imagined.
Xiao Linye’s thoughts and intentions ran deep!
In the current situation, no one knew what he was truly suppressing in his heart. It could all be just a facade.
But regarding Ye Yuning’s matter, his anger was undeniably real.
"Sir, I... last night..."
Recalling the previous night, Lai Shuo was struck by the full severity of his mistake. Ye Yuning was a young woman. Whether he knew her or not, he should never have been so indifferent when she was clearly in trouble.
Xiao Linye still ignored him.
Lai Shuo’s anxiety intensified!
"Sir, I really know I was wrong. I’ll... I’ll go and apologize to Miss Ye, alright? Please don’t make leave Xiao’s."
After all, he had been by Xiao Linye’s side for so many years; reluctance to leave was one thing.
Moreover, Xiao Linye had just ordered him ’fired’.
As the assistant to the CEO of Xiao’s, if he were truly fired at this ti, finding another position elsewhere would be...
Xiao Linye gave him a cold glance but said nothing.
That look, in Lai Shuo’s eyes at that mont, was so piercingly cold that his whole body stiffened.
