Xiao Linye was unaware of the little schemes in Ye Yuning’s mind. He said, "Good to know. From now on, if there’s any gossip about the Xiao Family, let me know immediately, understand?" And truth be told, this gossip should not be underestimated. Often, before the people involved even realized it, outsiders might have already spotted the problem. Upon hearing these words, Ye Yuning muttered, "You make it sound as if the Xiao Family is yours. You’re just an employee; is it really necessary to go to all this trouble?" "I don’t want to work overtime." Xiao Linye gave her four words! Ye Yuning was speechless. The corner of her mouth twitched. So, he was in a bad mood because of overtime? Indeed, it’s a fact that employees are more likely to work overtime when the company isn’t doing well! "Alright then," Ye Yuning nodded. Since her husband had put it that way, then to keep him happy and ensure he didn’t have to work overtime, she would tell him whatever she knew. Seeing her reluctant, muttering expression, Xiao Linye uncontrollably pinched her cheek. After breakfast, the two of them went to work together. As soon as Ye Yuning arrived at the office, Chen Wei pulled her into the office, saying, "I heard from security that Ye Tong from upstairs has already moved out." "Yeah, all her office furniture and stuff were carted away yesterday afternoon." Ye Yuning was speechless. She just gave in like that? Thinking back to how aggressive Ye Tong was on the phone just yesterday morning, for her to give in so quickly now? This really didn’t seem like her! Little did she know, Ye Shilong had personally taken care of the matter yesterday at midday, making Ye Tong move from the office above Ye Yuning’s. Ye Yuning wasn’t concerned about the specific reasons. Quite satisfied, she nodded. "Well, that’s better. Running into her is always troublesome." "She was so arrogant when she first moved in, but now she’s leaving in such a sorry state," Chen Wei commented. Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. It really was quite a sorry state. Ye Tong probably never imagined she would capsize so quickly. Especially when thinking about how Zheng Cai had flaunted the Nanjia Peak project like a precious treasure, convinced her daughter was invincible and behaving arrogantly wherever she went. Now, it’s questionable whether she still has the nerve to show her face after this. Around ten o’clock, people from the Xiao Family arrived: Lai Shuo, the assistant, and personnel from the business department. Hearing that people from the Xiao Family’s business department had arrived, Ye Yuning felt her heart tremble! Xiao Linye was in the business department. Could it be Lai Shuo and Xiao Linye who had come? This could be...! "What’s wrong?" Noticing Ye Yuning’s change in complexion, Chen Wei asked with concern. Ye Yuning unsteadily picked up the milk in front of her and took a sip, then asked, "Who from the business department has come?" "It seems to be someone surnamed Xiao, but I don’t know the exact name!" Ye Yuning was speechless. Hearing this, her expression instantly cracked. She felt petrified! Chen Wei, seeing this, became even more worried. "What on earth is wrong with you?" Ye Yuning put down the milk glass. Because her hand was shaking slightly, some milk spilled out. Struggling to stabilize her breathing, she looked at Chen Wei and tried to say calmly, "Go tell them I’m not here today and to come back tomorrow." "Is that really a good idea? What’s actually going on? Are you sick? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Chen Wei asked several questions. Dealing with the Xiao Family had already been quite a prolonged affair. Now that they had conceded and were willing to cooperate, in her view, they shouldn’t stir up any more trouble. If something else happened, the Xiao Family would surely blacklist them! However, Ye Yuning couldn’t care less about that now. She simply didn’t dare to meet them. Ye Yuning tried to calm herself, hearing Chen Wei say it wasn’t a good idea. Thinking about it carefully, it really didn’t seem like a good idea. After all, she had personally softened her stance. Now that they had come to talk, it really wouldn’t be proper for her not to meet them. But she wasn’t ready yet to let Xiao Linye know her true identity. 「In the reception room」 Lai Shuo and Xiao Ge from the business department had been waiting for roughly half an hour and still hadn’t seen Ye Yuning. Both of their expressions had started to sour. Xiao Ge looked at Lai Shuo. "This Boss Ye can’t be playing tricks again, can she?" Regarding the cooperation between the Xiao Family and Manlang, Xiao Ge didn’t want to get involved because of Xiao Shuo. Xiao Ge was the son of Xiao Qi, the eldest in the Xiao Family. Although he hadn’t made any significant achievements, he preferred stability. Lacking strong ambition, he was nonetheless serious and responsible about his own tasks. He had never gotten involved in Manlang’s affairs before, precisely because of Xiao Shuo, his spoiled cousin. Lai Shuo shook his head. "That’s unlikely." He believed Xiao Shuo wouldn’t be so bold; if things hadn’t been handled properly, Xiao Shuo wouldn’t dare give such feedback. Xiao Ge snorted coldly. "Don’t blame me for not warning you. That Xiao Shuo is a real piece of work; he’s the best at causing trouble behind the scenes!" Undoubtedly, Xiao Ge instinctively blamed Xiao Shuo for not being able to see Ye Yuning. At the mention of Xiao Shuo, Lai Shuo’s expression grew even darker.
