Chapter 25: Chapter 25After the meal, Ye Yuning tidied up the kitchen before she left, asking Xiao Linye if he wanted to go with her.
Xiao Linye told her to go ahead.
She hadn’t driven her car over, so she scanned another shareable bike.
Lai Shuo was already waiting outside. When Ye Yuning came out, she also saw that Silver Angel car.
The wealthy at Shanyu Pavilion are truly rich!
「Five minutes later.」
Xiao Linye, clad in a suit, emerged. Lai Shuo opened the car door for him. After getting into the car, Lai Shuo handed him a file.
Then, he said respectfully, "These are the records retrieved from the orphanage. It says the child was adopted by someone from our country back then."
"Is the person in the country now?" Xiao Linye asked coldly as he took the file.
Lai Shuo shook his head. "They say the person holds Z Country nationality, but it’s uncertain whether they were brought directly back here."
Xiao Linye opened the file and took out the documents inside.
Tucked within the few thin pages was a photograph.
The little one in the photo had ear-length short hair and eyes like grapes, glistening with tears. The picture was clearly taken while she was crying.
Even across the years, one could sense the anguish she must have felt at that moment.
He stuffed the documents back into the file and said coldly, "Investigate the family that adopted her."
"Yes, it’s already being arranged," Lai Shuo replied.
Neither of them pursued the topic further.
After all, the
Xiao Linye glanced at his watch; there were still ten minutes before the meeting began.
Yang Huan handed him the file. "These require your immediate signature."
Xiao Linye took it and opened the folder.
Looking at the stern-faced man, Yang Huan hesitated before speaking with some trepidation, "Mr. Xiao, Manlang Studio has been persistently requesting an appointment. Will you see them?"
Xiao Linye didn’t even look up.
But Yang Huan clearly felt the temperature in the office plummet.
Lai Shuo frowned at her. "Assistant Yang, how long did you work under Third Master?"
That single sentence sent a shiver down Yang Huan’s spine. Her heart pounded, and she quickly said, "My apologies. Manlang Studio has already requested an appointment five times, so..."
Yang Huan couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.
Before Xiao Linye could speak, Lai Shuo interjected, "Don’t let there be a next time!"
"Yes, yes." Yang Huan nodded, a thin layer of cold sweat breaking out on her back.
When Xiao Linye had initiated his plan, Lai Shuo had already briefed the Assistant Department.
During this period, any partners associated with collaborations flagged for revision were to be denied an audience; all such meeting requests were to be rejected outright.
Perhaps because her previous tenure under Third Master had been more relaxed, Yang Huan had subconsciously disregarded the instruction.
It seems this new boss is truly difficult to serve!
