Ye Yuning arrived at the company.
Chen Wei immediately approached. "President Ye, this is too much! Ye Tong snatched another collaboration from Lei An. Lei An is furious!"
Hearing this, Ye Yuning’s expression truly darkened. It seems Ye Tong really needs to be taught a lesson!
"How did she manage to exploit an opening?"
It’s not obvious, but has that airhead really been aggressively targeting me these past two days? Ye Yuning mused. However, in my view, this definitely wasn’t something Ye Tong could achieve on her own. Zheng Cai has wanted to suppress me for years. She must be using the full might of the Ye family to help Ye Tong secure these deals.
Speaking of how Ye Tong had managed to exploit an opening, Chen Wei looked utterly indignant. "It was the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family who helped her—your former fiancé!"
Ye Yuning didn’t respond immediately. Chen Wei heavily emphasized the words "former fiancé," successfully making Ye Yuning scowl.
Not liking him was one thing, but this incessant troublemaking...!
Ye Yuning spoke again, her tone heavier, "Which project was snatched?"
The Shengwan project wasn’t a big one! Ye Yuning thought. But having it snatched by Ye Tong and Xiao Shuo together was particularly galling.
Seeing that Ye Yuning said nothing, Chen Wei tentatively asked, "Are you going to confront her?"
"That bitch Ye Tong!" Chen Wei fumed. In the past few days, their studio had lost several projects, all snatched by Ye Tong. She now loathed Ye Tong even more than Ye Yuning did. After all, when Chen Wei had previously secured the Shengwan project, she had gotten very drunk celebrating. She’s gotten a taste for snatching things now, hasn’t she?
Ye Yuning didn’t answer, merely glancing sharply at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei pressed on, "Let’s gather everyone and go together." She had already found out: Ye Tong’s studio had no more than five people. Their studio, on the other hand, had about thirty!
Ye Yuning was speechless. Dealing with an assistant who was always itching for a group fight... what an experience!
"Everyone, settle down!" Ye Yuning snapped. "What’s with all the fighting? Do you want to end up in jail?!"
"But she started it..."
"Have you forgotten what you saw yesterday? That lapdog Xiao Shuo is back by her side." Ye Yuning said this as she walked towards her office. She spoke with a perfectly straight face, but inwardly, she was already secretly hatching her own little scheme.
Upon hearing Xiao Shuo’s name, Chen Wei’s tone filled with disdain. "Didn’t you always say you looked down on him, calling him the most useless member of the Xiao Family? That’s what you always said. Why the sudden fear of that good-for-nothing rich kid now?"
Chen Wei was very dissatisfied.
Entering the office, Ye Yuning tossed her bag on the desk and, noticing her empty cup, asked, "Where’s my warm milk?"
Chen Wei was momentarily struck dumb. Good heavens, is this really the time to be drinking milk? she thought. When it came to Chen Wei, it was as if Ye Yuning had lost all ability to fend for herself; Chen Wei would take care of everything perfectly for her.
But before going to warm the milk, Chen Wei couldn’t help but remind her, "That rich brat and that woman are clearly up to something. If you don’t stop them, they’ll keep causing trouble."
"How do we stop them? Beat them up, as you suggested?"
"Wasn’t it always before? Why not now?" Chen Wei retorted.
Ye Yuning replied, "I can’t afford to go to jail right now."
"What do you mean?" Chen Wei didn’t understand.
But instantly, she remembered that Ye Yuning was married. Considering they were still in their newlywed period, what would her new husband think if he received news that his wife had been locked up? So that was her reason for restraining herself from resorting to violence?
But this kind of restraint wouldn’t last long. Because if you yield to certain people, they take it as a sign of weakness and become even more audacious.
Chen Wei brought in the warm milk. "I just contacted them yesterday. It’s fresh milk, delivered specially for you." Ye Yuning hadn’t drunk milk before, so for the past couple of days, they had made do with cartoned milk. Seeing her drink it every day, Chen Wei had simply arranged for a daily delivery of fresh milk. When Chen Wei had picked it up that morning, the delivery person even commented that in the entire office building, theirs was the only company ordering fresh milk, which made delivery rather inconvenient.
Ye Yuning took a sip from the cup just as Luo Xin knocked on the office door.
Chen Wei went over to open it. "What’s up?"
Chen Wei was stunned. Ye Yuning, too, was taken aback. Him, showing up now? Ye Yuning wondered.
Chen Wei turned to look at Ye Yuning. Ye Yuning put down her milk cup and said, "Let him in."
Luo Xin nodded and left.
Chen Wei closed the door again and asked Ye Yuning, "Do you need anything prepared?"
"Prepared for what?" Ye Yuning looked bewildered and indifferent.
Seeing this, Chen Wei was utterly exasperated. Recalling Xiao Shuo’s pathetic state during his previous visits, she figured it wouldn’t make a difference whether they prepared anything or not! If Ye Yuning truly got riled up, she would definitely grab whatever was closest to hand to use as a weapon.
