Ye Tong looked at Zheng Cai in disbelief. "Mom, what are you doing?!"
What does she mean, *I* ruined the company? So what if I cursed at Ye Yuning? She’s a slut, and I’ve cursed her before. And every time I did, didn’t Mom join in with me? Why is it not okay now?
Zheng Cai said, "Starting now, you’d better not provoke Ye Yuning."
"Why?" Ye Tong couldn’t understand.
Could it be that they also think Ye Yuning is better than me? Do they regret acknowledging me? Do they regret kicking Ye Yuning out?
Zheng Cai said, "For no particular reason!"
She just couldn’t bring herself to tell her daughter that Ye Shilong might divorce her. It was simply too embarrassing for her.
So they really regretted kicking Ye Yuning out?
Seeing Zheng Cai lose her patience with her, Ye Tong felt utterly suffocated.
Seeing Ye Tong’s expression, Zheng Cai waved her hand dismissively. "Go upstairs. I need some time alone to think!"
"Go!" Zheng Cai’s tone had completely lost all patience.
She didn’t want to see Ye Tong now either. The previous Nanjia Peak design had caused significant trouble, offending the company whose work was plagiarized. They had also offended their partner, the Xiao Corporation. Now, Zheng Cai also regretted indulging her, so she didn’t want to deal with Ye Tong at all.
Ye Tong felt somewhat aggrieved. But seeing Zheng Cai , she ultimately suppressed her feelings and nodded. "Alright, I’ll go up first."
Her tone was filled with grievance. If this had happened before, Zheng Cai would surely have comforted her tenderly. Yet now, because of Ye Yuning, Mom didn’t even want to look at me anymore. Ye Yuning, just how capable are you?
Ye Tong fumed internally. At the same time, a sense of crisis welled up within her. First, Old Master Ye had kicked her out of the banquet, and now Zheng Cai was losing patience with her. Ye Tong increasingly felt the importance of status and power!
This time, Zheng Cai was truly shaken by the divorce agreement Ye Shilong had presented. She began to think hard about how to resolve her conflict with Ye Yuning.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuning was on a plane.
Looking at the first-class cabin, she couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement. The Xiao Corporation’s travel budget is really extravagant, isn’t it? Do all their employees fly first class on business trips? And they even brought me along...!
Xiao Linye, sipping red wine, looked at her and asked, "Do you want to get some sleep?"
Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes!"
She had pulled an all-nighter and was utterly exhausted. She really, really wanted to get some good sleep. She had assumed that traveling with Xiao Linye on a business trip would definitely be in economy class, so she had even prepared a small pillow. It seemed it wouldn’t be needed now.
However, she didn’t know that Xiao Linye wasn’t actually used to flying first class either. In the past, he always took a private jet wherever he went...
This time, Xiao Linye hadn’t brought Lai Shuo on the business trip. Instead, he brought another assistant, Kang Xuan.
When Ye Yuning saw Kang Xuan, she felt quite nervous for some time. Fortunately, during their interactions, Kang Xuan showed no sign of recognizing her, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
But she still distinctly felt that her muddle-headed decision to follow Xiao Linye on this trip was an impulsive one. There were so many people around Xiao Linye. If her real identity were exposed, how would she ever explain herself?
As soon as they disembarked from the plane, Xiao Linye received a call from Lai Shuo.
Lai Shuo reported that Boss Ye had come to the company today, acting very secretively. Her assistant wasn’t allowing anyone into the office.
Her assistant is at the company? Xiao Linye subconsciously glanced at Ye Yuning, who was walking behind him. Is Lai Shuo sure the assistant is at the company? Or is he seeing things?
"You keep an eye on it," Xiao Linye said, feeling a bit of a headache.
Lately, Lai Shuo and Manlang were clearly at odds, scrutinizing everything closely. Moreover, because of Manlang, Lai Shuo had changed completely. The once shrewd and competent Lai Shuo now constantly showed signs of being a mother hen.
Lai Shuo replied, "Okay!"
Xiao Linye took the luggage trolley from Ye Yuning’s hand. She was petite and naturally a slow walker. If she had to carry anything, her pace would be practically indistinguishable from a turtle’s crawl. Xiao Linye, with his long legs, had to slow his pace and wait for her, even when he was carrying things. He had to completely adjust to her walking speed.
As they were about to get into the car, Kang Xuan first loaded his own luggage into the vehicle, then turned to take the trolley from Xiao Linye.
Xiao Linye finally couldn’t resist asking Ye Yuning, "Does your boss have another assistant?"
His question was sudden, and Ye Yuning was taken aback for a moment. Then, she reacted very quickly, retorting, "How did you know?"
Xiao Linye was silent. So, it’s true? She really has another one?
Ye Yuning’s mind raced. She didn’t quite understand why someone from the business department would pay so much attention to this. And Kang Xuan hadn’t said a word the entire way. Was that man... his assistant? She felt she had previously underestimated Xiao Linye’s capabilities. No wonder he could so extravagantly offer to hire a nanny and even declare that she wouldn’t need to take care of his parents. She hadn’t expected this man she’d casually found to be so capable! Ye Yuning once again felt like she had struck gold.
As a thought struck her, she quickly said, "The boss has been training me to be a designer lately, so we hired a new assistant."
