Xiao Corporation’s President’s Office. Xiao Linye was sending a message to Ye Yuning while Lai Shuo stood respectfully before the desk. He carefully studied Xiao Linye’s expression, wanting to ask how exactly Ye Yuning had conveyed the message to him. But the words died on his lips several times; he felt his phrasing was inappropriate and forcefully swallowed them back. Xiao Linye sensed Lai Shuo’s unease and raised an eyebrow. "Want to ask something?" His sudden question made Lai Shuo stiffen. But since Xiao Linye had asked, Lai Shuo took the opportunity to inquire, "Um, do you have a personal relationship with Boss Ye?" "How could I possibly have a personal relationship with that woman!" Xiao Linye scoffed coldly. That annoying woman! How could they possibly have a personal relationship? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Xiao Linye thought resentfully about the woman’s previous despicable actions. Especially the rumors she spread in his studio, which made that young woman so displeased with him, further fueling his own discontent. Upon hearing this, Lai Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was good there was nothing between them. Then how had she relayed the message about him bumping into her to the Boss? But considering the company was full of people who disliked him, Lai Shuo resolved to find out who had tattled. "By the way, there was a bit of an issue with our new spokesperson, Miss Tang Xi, today," Lai Shuo said. "She’s going through a divorce!" Normally, a divorce wouldn’t be such a big deal these days. But the problem was that she and that ’Phoenix man’ were quite influential, and the current media frenzy surrounding them was messy. Although related reports were gradually being taken down, the impact was still significant. As he spoke, he took out his phone to check something. When he saw the photo of Tang Xi shopping with Ye Yuning, Lai Shuo’s breathing deepened; he instantly felt that this divorcing Tang Xi was not a good person. He handed the phone to Xiao Linye. "Take a look at the current comments." The reports had been taken down, but these were screenshots Lai Shuo had saved. Xiao Linye took it and glanced at the screen! He saw Tang Xi walking shoulder to shoulder with another woman. Tang Xi was bundled up, but the person beside her was not. Upon closer inspection, it was actually... Ye Yuning! How could those two know each other? Lai Shuo added, embellishing the details, "Although the reports were suppressed, it stirred up quite a reaction. I’m worried it might affect Xiao Corporation." Xiao Linye listened silently, not saying a word. Lai Shuo continued, "Dealing with an artist with such improper conduct is really a headache." Just like Boss Ye and her associates—none of them are decent people, he thought. Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow, his gaze toward Lai Shuo darkening. "Aren’t your words a bit too subjective?" "Lai Shuo, since when have you become so caustically cynical, like those keyboard warriors online?" "I... I haven’t!" Lai Shuo immediately shook his head. He completely failed to understand why the Boss had suddenly become angry. Especially that protective tone... Could there be something between him and Miss Tang? But that can’t be right; I’m with him every day. And speaking of being with him every day, that was somewhat ironic. In the past, Lai Shuo felt he was the one who best understood Xiao Linye’s private life, but now it seemed that wasn’t necessarily true. To this day, he had never even met the madam. Facing Xiao Linye’s stern gaze, Lai Shuo immediately bowed his head respectfully. Xiao Linye’s breathing was unsteady. "Then tell me, what do you mean by ’improper conduct’? Did you see anything?" "No! I’m sorry, I was wrong." "You’ve been rather emotionally unstable lately. Do you need to go to the Eastern Desert Region to cool off?" "No, no, no! I don’t need to cool off!" Go to the Eastern Desert Region? Absolutely not! At that moment, Lai Shuo also realized he had been biased against Tang Xi because of Ye Yuning. This was a major taboo in Xiao Linye’s eyes. Xiao Linye lit a cigarette and glanced at the photo. Tang Xi and Ye Yuning were arm in arm. Judging by their demeanor, they were clearly very close. If he were to terminate the contract with Tang Xi now, who knew what that young woman might say. He took a drag from his cigarette. "Contact the PR department immediately to handle this." Lai Shuo hesitated for a moment, then seriously reminded him, "Our cooperation with Miss Tang is strictly professional!" Clearly, this ’handling’ referred to Tang Xi’s personal PR issues, not the company’s. Xiao Corporation’s PR department was formidable; over the years, the artists under its entertainment arm had never had any scandals slip through. Faced with Lai Shuo’s reminder, Xiao Linye merely shot him a cold glance. That one look startled Lai Shuo so much that he immediately nodded. "I’ll call General Lu right away." The entertainment company under Xiao Corporation also had its own dedicated management. But since Xiao Linye had said they would help Tang Xi handle it, then it would naturally be dealt with. Exiting the office, Lai Shuo scratched his head, still puzzled. The Boss had never been one to meddle in others’ affairs, and he was especially demanding with collaborators. Why was he so concerned about Miss Tang now? Could her divorce be related to him? The thought shocked Lai Shuo. The Boss was a married man now. If he had some entanglement with Miss Tang, what would that make him? No, that can’t be right. The Boss wasn’t that kind of person.
