The team leader was almost in tears. Situ Xuan had been unreachable since last night, although it had been agreed that once they revised the draft, they would immediately take it to his office for his review. But in the middle of the night, Situ Xuan disappeared!
What’s more, it had been arranged that he would look at the draft sent to his email and instantly provide feedback. The whole team waited for his response. Yet, by midnight, there was still no message from Situ Xuan!
Eventually, when they did get a hold of him on the phone, he said he would give feedback right away, but it wasn’t until three or four in the morning that he emailed his comments to his personal email. With no choice left, everyone had to stay up late to make the changes, and then they sent it to his mailbox, waiting for him to review the final version. But then his phone was unreachable!
Up until now, Situ Xuan had paid no attention to their bidding document. What were they supposed to do?
"I have no idea! I haven’t been able to contact him since last night."
Having no other choice, the deputy general manager turned his gaze to Ya Jiayi, who was off to the side. At this moment, she was the only one who had Situ Xuan’s private number.
"Miss Ya, we can only ask for your help with this matter!" the deputy general manager said helplessly.
Cheng Tingting stood in front of Ya Jiayi, watched her nod, and without a second word, immediately called Situ Xuan back.
The phone only rang twice before being swiftly answered. Ya Jiayi immediately said, "Mr. Situ."
"Yes, I’m here." Although Situ Xuan answered the call, his voice sounded—unmistakably weary.
Ya Jiayi thought that Situ Xuan’s fatigue was due to him being overworked these past few days. After all, in the battle of wits with Yu Jingxi, whether it was the right time and place, or popular support, there was nothing he could win over him.
In fact, Situ Xuan was also aware that Huanyu Group and Yu Jingxi were not like any of the companies he had encountered before, nor were they like the worthless members of the Situ Family.
No matter what means Yu Jingxi had used to take Shen Lanxiao away, and even stand his ground under the crazed revenge of his father, Situ Che, it proved that this man was capable of even overthrowing his own father!
His probe this time, although it disgusted Yu Jingxi, did not shake his foundation but rather caused the loss of many of his own carefully placed undercover agents.
To continue targeting was not impossible, but doing so would only drag the Situ Family deeper and reveal more of their secrets!
This time, Situ Xuan had underestimated the enemy!
Yet, what made him feel even more exhausted was the situation with Jian Anning!
In his eyes, the relationship between him and Jian Anning was a sure thing. He knew all too well that winning the heart of a very traditional woman, who had already set her mind on another man, was even more tiring than pursuing a lady from a prestigious family!
How could it be that within just a few short days of his absence, Jian Anning had agreed to Yu Zexiao?
But it had really happened.
Moreover, it happened in a way that left him speechless, hitting him right where it hurt the most—that was, Yu Zexiao had introduced her to his family, intending to go public with their relationship!
Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao may not know, but he was acutely aware that this was the only thing Situ Xuan had kept secret!—If they were in a relationship, he could not be responsible for Jian Anning!
