Ye Yuning walked by herself to Xiao Corporation for about two minutes. Before entering, she scrutinized her reflection in the large street-side windows to make sure she was wrapped up enough. Confident that no one would easily recognize her, she finally stepped into Xiao Corporation. Her work badge had been given to her by Xiao Linye in the car earlier. The moment she showed her work badge at the reception, the receptionist’s attitude turned very respectful. Ye Yuning... the same name as the owner of Manlang? the receptionist thought. Naturally, the receptionist knew the name of Manlang’s owner. However, considering the recent disputes between Xiao Corporation and Manlang, the receptionist subconsciously believed they were not the same person. What a coincidence! The company just terminated its cooperation with Manlang! And then their boss actually found someone with the exact same name!? Although the receptionist was puzzled, she didn’t dare to ask more; after all, this was a person personally arranged by Xiao Linye. But looking at her well-concealed face, the receptionist couldn’t help asking, "Miss Ye, your... face?" Seeing the receptionist pointing at her face, Ye Yuning quickly replied. Upon hearing it was an allergy, the receptionist immediately smiled again. "I see, that makes sense. Your office is next to the finance room on the eighth floor. Do you need me to take you there personally?" "No need, I can find it myself. May I go in now?" Ye Yuning wanted to limit her interactions with the people here as much as possible, fearing that saying too much could give her away. The receptionist nodded. "Okay then, you can go up by yourself." She handed the work badge to Ye Yuning. Ye Yuning turned to leave, then, as if remembering something, she quickly turned back. "By the way, where is the elevator?" I did that on purpose! she thought. Upon hearing this question, the receptionist became even more certain she was not the same person as Manlang’s owner. "It’s elevator number three, on your right-hand side." Ye Yuning nodded and walked away. That was terrifying. If I’d acted like I knew my way around on my first day, it definitely would have seemed strange. If I had really acted like that, I would have just been inviting suspicion. The two receptionists behind her started gossiping. "To share the same name as the owner of Manlang, and to catch our boss’s eye like that, even receiving special attention at work!" "What’s so great about having the same name? She’d need the abilities of Boss Ye from Manlang to even have a chance of staying." "Indeed, the Seventh Master isn’t one to show boundless favoritism!" What kind of person was their Seventh Master, anyway? One could tell just by looking at the people he’d fired recently. Right now, it looked Ye Yuning was being specially looked after. But who knew if she actually had any skills? If she had the same disposition as Ye Tong, the Manlang owner’s sister, then Xiao Corporation would be in for a big laugh! Ye Yuning had left her thermos cup at the reception and came back to retrieve it while the two were still talking. "Do you think someone who receives special attention from the Seventh Master might have some sort of relationship with him? Could she possibly be a future wife?" "Don’t be silly. Just because she got a job doesn’t mean she could become his wife. Haven’t you seen her height? How short she is!" Speaking of Ye Yuning’s height, the receptionist who was talking couldn’t help but TSK-TSK. Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched. She’s short? I *was* short, but wasn’t their description a bit too exaggerated? They made it sound as if I had dwarfism or something. And what was this ’wife’ nonsense? Whose wife? And what about this special care from the Seventh Master? When had I ever received special care from that Seventh Master? Could it be that Xiao Linye, to get me this job, had gone and bothered that pervert? At that thought, Ye Yuning’s mood instantly soured! I was the one who least wanted any involvement with that so-called Seventh Master, yet what on earth was all this now? Just as the two were about to continue their discussion, Ye Yuning strode over boldly. Then she snatched up her thermos cup! The receptionists were instantly taken aback! Even through the sun-protection clothing, the receptionists could feel the chill emanating from Ye Yuning. Ye Yuning lifted her gaze to the receptionists, tempted to give them a piece of her mind. But after a moment’s thought, she said nothing and simply turned to leave. The receptionists, however, were horrified. "Did she... did she hear everything we said?" "We didn’t really say anything, did we?" the other one also said uneasily. Google seaʀᴄh 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Ye Yuning was fuming! This ’Seventh Master’... had he really become some kind of curse in my world? Now even people at Xiao Corporation thought I had some connection to that darned Seventh Master? The elevator doors opened, and she stepped in, huffing with anger. Chen Wei had come to Xiao Corporation from the basement garage to terminate a contract. She was startled to see Ye Yuning—who hadn’t gone to the studio today—appearing here in such a bizarre getup. She exclaimed out loud, "Boss? What are you doing at Xiao Corporation? You... what is this...!" The key thing was her appearance; she was so bundled up even her own mother wouldn’t recognize her. Could it be that because of the contract termination, she held a grudge against the Seventh Master and was here for revenge!? But in broad daylight, surely she didn’t think she could fool everyone ? Chen Wei grew anxious. Ye Yuning was shocked to see Chen Wei, especially since Chen Wei had recognized her at first glance. "You... you recognized me with just one look?" "That’s not it! What do you plan to do to the Seventh Master?" Chen Wei asked urgently. Even though Xiao Corporation had troubled them quite a bit, she absolutely mustn’t do anything rash!
