Watching her swagger away, Ye Tong felt her whole body convulse with fury. This bitch, what gave her the right to talk like that? But upon further reflection, ever since her return to the Ye Family, it seemed as though old patriarch Ye hadn’t given her anything. Her mother and father had bought her so many gifts, yet old patriarch Ye hadn’t given her a single one. Wasn’t the normal relationship between a grandparent and grandchild usually pretty good? Previously, distracted by the gifts from her mother and the desire to reclaim what belonged to Ye Yuning, she hadn’t paid much attention to it. Looking back now, old patriarch Ye’s indifference toward her was far from subtle. 「Xiao Linye arrived at the company.」 He summoned Yang Jing to his office and said to her with an icy voice, "Xiao Shuo has little work experience; you must remember to break things down for him." Break it down? That meant dividing all his goals and tasks into stages for him to complete. Yang Jing, of course, understood this. This also undoubtedly meant that Xiao Shuo would have no chance to slack off. It seemed that this time, the Xiao Corporation was determined to train this second-generation heir, and Yang Jing did not want to fail the task her leader had given her. She nodded firmly. "President Xiao, rest assured, I will definitely get Xiao Shuo on the right track at work as soon as possible." "Not as soon as possible. It starts today." Yang Jing: "..." Today? But Xiao Shuo currently has no experience and is still in the training phase, right? Yet seeing how adamant Xiao Linye was, Yang Jing could only nod. "Yes!" She turned and left the office. Lai Shuo also followed her out, telling Yang Jing, "He must complete his daily tasks on the same day. If he cannot complete them, he must work overtime. Seventh Master will personally review his progress." Hearing this, Yang Jing felt that this Seventh Master was truly putting in a great deal of effort for the sake of the second-generation heir. Moreover, this personal review was also meant to get Xiao Shuo into a working state quickly. With this setup, he’d have to get into it whether he was ready or not, right? Thinking of Xiao Shuo’s unreliable nature, Yang Jing suddenly worried if she was up to the task. But facing the stern Lai Shuo, she still nodded. "Don’t worry, I know what to do." "Go then," Lai Shuo said. Clearly, he silently pitied Xiao Shuo. Work broken down daily, with all tasks required to be completed—why was this being monitored so closely? Lai Shuo didn’t understand why, but he didn’t dare to question Xiao Linye. Little did he know, it was all because of Manlang! Facing the people from Manlang, Xiao Shuo was like a thorn, and Xiao Linye was determined to strip all those spikes off him. When Xiao Linye heard Yang Jing say that a client needed to be entertained that night, one whom they had not been able to schedule an appointment with before. He, Xiao Shuo, was to be responsible for securing the appointment that very evening. The moment this registered, his head went numb! "I’m to make the appointment?" "Yes. No matter what method you use, you need to secure an appointment with this person. This is your task for today. If you can manage it by noon, that would be ideal. However, if you still haven’t secured the appointment by tonight, you won’t be leaving the office!" Yang Jing spoke with particular severity, her every word and expressionless face leaving no room for negotiation. His breathing became even more labored! "Why me? I... this..." "It’s you. You are in charge of this project now, and your first step is to secure the meeting." Xiao Shuo: "But what if they aren’t available today?" If they weren’t available, did that mean he wasn’t allowed to leave the office either? That was outrageously unreasonable! "You must meet with this client within three days, absolutely no later than the day after tomorrow." By the day after tomorrow! He didn’t even know this person! Why on earth would they agree to meet him? Yang Jing, reading his expression, continued, "I already taught you yesterday how to communicate with clients. Don’t tell me you haven’t learned!" Xiao Shuo: "How could I learn it that quickly?" he retorted, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction. Did they really think he was some kind of genius who could learn anything instantly? If he were really that capable, would his Third Uncle and Seventh Uncle even have a role to play in the Xiao Corporation? Wouldn’t they have just let him take over directly? He had no idea what the old man was thinking, making him suffer . Seeing his attitude, Yang Jing snorted coldly. "Don’t say I didn’t warn you. While it’s true I assign your tasks, your workload is personally supervised by President Xiao. If you can’t secure an appointment with this client today, you can prepare to live at the office!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuo’s face turned ashen! "What do you mean? What do you mean by ’living at the office’?" "All daily tasks must be completed fully and on time. If you can’t meet the quota, don’t even think about leaving work on time. You won’t be stepping a single foot out of this company." Xiao Shuo felt his breath catch, and his spirits plummeted. After receiving a one-thousand fine on his very first day, he had been thinking he just needed to put in a bit more effort and show up on time. He could just muddle through his days; whether he got paid or not didn’t really matter. After all, he had plenty of friends. But now, it seemed he was wrong! His father hadn’t gotten him into the company just to let him idle away his days. In that moment, he was so angry he couldn’t speak. Seeing that he remained motionless, Yang Jing’s tone rose icily, "Well? Aren’t you going yet?"
