Colleagues from the Expansion Department had already started trickling into the office one after another.
Seeing Yang Jing fuming so early in the morning, they all kept their eyes to themselves, feigning detachment, though many were mentally complaining about Xiao Shuo! He was from the Xiao Family, for crying out loud! How could he be so inept? Even the most basic tasks were enough to make Yang Jing, his supervisor, absolutely livid. And to top it all off, the Second Master’s branch of the family didn’t even hold any real power! It really had to be said, the intelligence within the Xiao Family swung to two extremes: either geniuses standing at the pinnacle or fools as dumb as pigs...
Xiao Shuo sat in his chair with a gloomy expression. Hearing Yang Jing’s scolding, his anger rose as well.
"Enough! Can you just shut up?" He finally lost his temper.
Yang Jing was in the midst of her tirade, but when Xiao Shuo suddenly roared, her voice stopped instantly.
Then, her face filled with rage.
"Fine, I’ll shut up. From now on, let someone from the President’s Office handle all your work inspections."
She didn’t want to deal with him anymore! This second-generation rich brat had caused her to be reprimanded by her daughter’s school so many times. He wasn’t her son, so why should she bother worrying so much about him?
"Don’t bother then! Who cares about your meddling anyway?" Xiao Shuo retorted, equally displeased.
Lately, he’d been pushed to the brink of madness, especially by Yang Jing’s constant sour expression, which he couldn’t stand any longer.
Yang Jing was rendered speechless.
The others were equally stunned. They exchanged glances, their gazes eventually settling on the furious Xiao Shuo.
He really didn’t know what was good for him. Having Manager Yang shielding him at least offered some protection. Now, great. Manager Yang wasn’t going to manage him anymore, and he’d report directly to the President’s Office. With his level of competence, wouldn’t he end up working twenty hours a day?
"Alright then! Go tell the President’s Office right now that you don’t want my management. Go immediately!" Yang Jing pressed, seizing the opportunity.
She didn’t want to manage such a subordinate for another second; all he did was drag her down.
She had always been confident in mentoring newcomers. However, ever since Xiao Shuo was assigned to her, she realized that one shouldn’t be *too* confident. Especially with someone like Xiao Shuo, who was completely... an idiot. Now that he himself was going to the President’s Office to declare he didn’t want her managing him, this was perfect; she was completely off the hook.
Xiao Shuo stood up angrily. "Fine, I’ll go!"
He’d long been fed up with this shrew and was actually glad she wouldn’t be meddling in his affairs anymore.
With that said, he headed straight for the elevator.
The people present just let him continue on his path to self-destruction.
With Xiao Shuo gone, Yang Jing’s assistant, Xiao Wang, stepped forward. "Manager Yang, can we really stop managing him this time?"
Speaking of Xiao Shuo!
Previously, because he was the Xiao Family’s third young master, everyone had treated him with a degree of respect. Especially when working with someone from the Xiao Family, everyone scrambled to make a good impression.
But after working with him for some time, they increasingly felt something was off. This Xiao Shuo was a hopeless case, with mediocre work skills, and they often had to help him with many of his tasks.
No one knew where he got such audacity today.
Ye Yuning approached from the direction of the intersection.
As the elevator doors opened, she saw a furious Xiao Shuo inside.
Xiao Shuo also saw her. Seeing how bundled up she was, he became even more irate.
Ye Yuning, seeing Xiao Shuo in the elevator, instinctively took a step back.
Xiao Shuo saw her reaction and sneered, "What are you hiding for? Afraid I’ll eat you or something?"
He hadn’t slept all night in the office, all because of this woman. Could her appearance here today mean that Grandpa had really been fooled by Seventh Uncle last night? Wait, he forgot to tell Grandpa last night that this woman was already working at Xiao Corp. This must have been Seventh Uncle’s doing too! Terminating the contract with Manlang while simultaneously letting this woman work at the company... the more he thought about it, the more it looked like an attempt to cover up an affair.
Looking at Xiao Shuo’s face, livid with rage, Ye Yuning retorted, "You go on ahead."
Xiao Shuo demanded, "Get in here! I have something to ask you!"
Ye Yuning shot back, "Do I have to answer just because you ask?"
The elevator doors were about to close when Xiao Shuo fiercely jammed the open button. Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
His eyes, bloodshot from a sleepless night, glared menacingly at Ye Yuning. His temper was already frayed.
Seeing Ye Yuning’s defiant stance, he felt she was being utterly arrogant.
Finally unable to restrain his anger, he roared, "How did you climb into my Seventh Uncle’s bed?"
By this time, most of the colleagues had already gone upstairs.
When Kang Xuan arrived, he heard Xiao Shuo’s earth-shattering accusation.
Ye Yuning’s mind, meanwhile, went blank, a loud BUZZ echoing in her head!
Already irritated at the sight of Xiao Shuo, her anger now became uncontrollable.
She tried to hold back, but in the instant before the elevator doors closed, she lunged forward and slammed her bag onto Xiao Shuo’s head with all her might. "Go die, you scoundrel!"
The force of her movement shoved the elevator doors open again.
Kang Xuan clearly witnessed Ye Yuning thrashing Xiao Shuo.
Her sudden attack caught Xiao Shuo completely off guard. Instinctively, he tried to dodge...!
However, Ye Yuning gave him no chance.
"Stop it!" Xiao Shuo yelled, reaching out to push Ye Yuning away.
But Ye Yuning, though small, was agile and quick. She relentlessly smashed her bag onto Xiao Shuo’s head again and again.
"Damn it, I must have been far too lenient with you before, haven’t I? What on earth makes you think I’m someone you can just insult at will?"
Exploding with rage at Xiao Shuo’s insult, Ye Yuning gave him no opportunity to escape, grabbing him and unleashing a furious beating.
The elevator instantly filled with Xiao Shuo’s enraged shouts and Ye Yuning’s furious curses. The chaotic scene was so intense it felt palpable even from outside.
