"What do you want to do next?"
As Ye Xuan was surrounded by a myriad of women, Lin Tong’s pretty face turned sour, and she asked with a cold tone.
Uh... Is my wife getting jealous?
Ye Xuan curiously looked over and saw the frosty-faced Lin Tong, he couldn’t help but smile internally. Keeping a straight face, he said, "CEO, of course, I must properly take on the role of sales manager and do my part for the company’s development! Hehe, I was just joking with them."
"Joking? I think that’s exactly what you wanted!"
Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan, piercing through his real thoughts.
Ye Xuan broke into a sweat!
No one knows me better than my wife.
He didn’t dare to dwell on this issue, fearing that he might truly annoy Lin Tong. Instead, he picked up the dumpling in his hand, changed the topic, and said, "CEO, look, the dumpling has gotten cold, shall I go buy you a fresh one?"
Having said that, without waiting for Lin Tong to reply, he walked past the group of beautiful female researchers and hastily left the scene.
But just a few steps out, Lin Tong called him back, saying, "We can talk about buying lunch later! Aren’t you going to explain what just happened?"
When she said this, everyone present grew interested.
These girls, who already had their thoughts about Ye Xuan, were eager to know why someone like Ye Xuan, who usually acted carefree and lazy, could make Song Bangyao so wary of him?
That look of his, like a mouse seeing a cat, ending up gasping for breath, flattering and pleasuring – it was incredible!
They had literally seen that even the CEO couldn’t handle Song Bangyao, but for some reason, he was scared of Ye Xuan. How could he have such influence?
"That matter? Which one are you talking about?"
Ye Xuan appeared clueless as he stepped right in front of Lin Tong, scratching his head and asking.
Seeing Ye Xuan feigning ignorance, Lin Tong placed her hands on her hips and impatiently said, "Don’t try to be cunning with me. I’m talking about the Song Bangyao issue. Why would the Family Head of the Song Family be so scared of you?"
Lin Tong didn’t know that Song Bangyao had already figured out Ye Xuan’s identity as someone from Purgatory, and that’s why she was so puzzled.
"Oh, you mean that guy named Song?"
Ye Xuan slapped his forehead, feigning sudden realization.
Glancing at the group of researchers filled with anticipation, the guy grinned and started bluffing,
"Didn’t you see earlier? They were all arrogant at first, but once I mentioned the urban management, they were all intimidated. This shows that the urban management in Great Yan Kingdom is formidable! Capable of scaring an eighty-year-old and making a three-year-old cry, these people might be fierce, but they can barely stand against the might of urban management..."
Ye Xuan, blabbering away, chuckled, "Especially, that leader named Song, who agreed to compensate you with two hundred million! This shows his kind-heartedness, makes me suspect if he might be a modern-day Lei Feng!"
Lin Tong was speechless.
So you keep bragging! Could urban management’s reputation scare Song Bangyao?
This time, Song Bangyao, for the sake of avenging Shaopeng, was not holding back, intending to crush Eastern Group!
And with his viciousness,
The group of female researchers looked skeptical too, Lin Tong gave them a glance, frowning slightly.
She also knew that in front of so many people, it was unlikely she’d get any real answers, so she didn’t bother to keep asking.
"If you won’t tell the truth, forget it, as if I never asked anything."
Lin Tong dropped these words and then turned to comfort the stunned female researchers.
Ye Xuan seized this opportunity to enter the elevator and head downstairs.
After handling many tasks, Lin Tong, told the person in charge of product design some instructions and then went upstairs back to her office.
Leaning back in her chair and staring at the ceiling, Lin Tong couldn’t help but space out.
Thinking about the mess Eastern Group had been in these past few days, she held her head in her hands, her mind in complete disarray.
Ten minutes later, the office door was pushed open, and Ye Xuan walked in holding a bowl of steaming wontons.
"Wife, eat while it’s hot, don’t let it get cold again," he said cheerfully as he placed the wontons on Lin Tong’s desk.
Silently looking at the wontons on the table, Lin Tong paused for a moment, then a warm smile spread across her pretty face, and she began to eat.
The whole day passed without any surprises, as peaceful as ever.
Except for the bustling figures in the corridor, which hinted that Eastern Group was still in a financial crisis!
As the CEO, Lin Tong naturally wasn’t idle. After eating the lunch Ye Xuan brought, she plunged into her busy work.
Indeed, her efficiency was quite impressive. By the afternoon, she started to arrange for the repurchase of lab equipment, with a budget noticeably higher than before.
The entire product design department was innovating and undergoing a comprehensive transformation, aiming to improve the core department’s strength and develop better products to compensate for the crisis caused by the defective ones.
It wasn’t until it was time to leave work that the busy Lin Tong finally took a breather!
Meanwhile, she received a private sum in her account amounting to sixty million.
Shortly after, Lin Tong received a text message, undoubtedly from Song Bangyao, indicating that he didn’t have much liquid funds available, making it difficult to gather two hundred million at once, so he had transferred sixty million for now and hoped Lin Tong would grant him a few more days.
"Ye Xuan, Song Bangyao says he needs to delay it a few days, what do you think?" Lin Tong frowned as she read the message, not making her own decision, but seeking Ye Xuan’s opinion instead.
Ye Xuan was sitting on the couch, playing a mobile game, and upon hearing her, he casually shrugged and said, "I don’t think he wants to delay, he probably doesn’t want to pay at all."
Seeing his indifferent facial expression, it seemed as if he didn’t care about the two hundred million at all!
"So, what do we do now?" asked Lin Tong.
"Heh heh... This old fox walks away and pretends not to know us? No way that’s happening on my watch!"
Ye Xuan put down his phone, gave a cold laugh, and said, "Just agree superficially for now, I have a plan."
Not knowing what Ye Xuan’s plan was, Lin Tong still trusted him unconditionally and immediately replied to Song Bangyao’s text.
"I’ve told him we can grant him a few more days,"
Lin Tong put away her phone and informed Ye Xuan.
After thinking it over, she added, "Ye Xuan, getting this huge compensation from the Song Family, it’s all thanks to you. I’ve decided to reward you! Tell me, what do you want?"
"Wife, don’t you know what I want?" Ye Xuan gave a lazy smile, his gaze intensifying as he fixed his eyes on Lin Tong, clearly with some mischievous intentions.
"I... what do I know?"
Lin Tong’s face turned red, and she turned her head away, pretending not to understand him.
This little girl is shy!
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, a wicked smile curling up his lips, and he leaned close to Lin Tong’s ear, lowering his voice, "Wife, if you come up with an office striptease battle, I’ll definitely consider it! Heh heh heh..."
