Chapter 425
Inviting her to dinner at a time like this, and he still wanted to go to one of those pretentious ’green tea’ spots or sleazy ’scumbag’ dens! That man is truly unbelievable! Does he think he’s so idle? Now that the Qin Corporation is in his hands, does he have nothing better to do than keep an eye on me? Why? Just because I made him a laughingstock before? He doesn’t even consider that he himself was already a joke. He’s been a fool for so many years without realizing he was the joke, and now he’s fixated on that one incident to relentlessly retaliate against me.After yelling, she slammed down the phone.
Chen Wei, seeing her so furious, was also stunned for a moment.
"Was that a call from Young Master Qin?"
Ye Yuning waved her hand. "Arrange a meeting immediately."
"Are you... really up to it?" Chen Wei asked with concern in her voice.
After all these explosive events have just happened, is she really in the right state of mind to work? Chen Wei worried that she would take her anger out on the staff.
Ye Yuning retorted, "Why not? Am I supposed to stop doing business just because these bastards exist?"
Chen Wei was speechless.
Thinking about what she had been through recently, Ye Yuning was so furious she could hardly stand it. She just couldn’t understand it. She was minding her own business, not provoking any of these people. Yet, these people kept pestering her, one after another. Hitting them didn’t make them leave, and cursing didn’t make them scatter. Thinking about what Xiao Shuo and Qin Jinchuan had done, Ye Yuning was so angry she felt like she was about to go mad!
The only thing that consoled her was her husband, whom she had married on a whim.
Hearing her say that, Chen Wei nodded. "I’ll go and arrange it right away."
The boss is still thinking about work at a time like this; that’s a good thing. Her initiative shouldn’t be stifled, Chen Wei thought.
Ye Yuning had a strong work ethic. With Xiao Shuo and Qin Jinchuan constantly accosting her, she was not only overwhelmed but also hadn’t figured out a way to retaliate. So, for now, she could only focus on work and then think about how to deal with them.
However, midway through the meeting, Chen Wei quietly slipped into the conference room and approached her side. "Boss, there’s trouble."
Ma Di was discussing his future design direction. Ye Yuning, who had been listening intently, felt her brow twitch upon hearing Chen Wei’s words. She instinctively glanced at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei lowered her voice. "It’s urgent."
Ye Yuning’s breathing deepened. If Chen Wei said it was urgent, then it must be something significant.
But even so, she didn’t immediately leave the meeting room. Instead, she passed Chen Wei a notebook, gesturing for her to write down what the urgent matter was on it.
Chen Wei, seeing this, had no choice but to quickly take the notebook from her and write three words on it: "Boss Xiao Qi!"
Ye Yuning was momentarily stunned. Boss Xiao Qi... so Boss Xiao Qi was pestering her again? She had initially thought it might be Qin Jinchuan or Xiao Shuo stirring up trouble. Xiao Shuo had been incredibly arrogant these past two days! This was probably the first time he had been so arrogant towards her since joining the Xiao Corporation. If it were him or Qin Jinchuan causing some new trouble, she really wouldn’t have to pay it much mind. But this Boss Xiao Qi...
Thinking about the recent rumors concerning herself and Boss Xiao Qi, Ye Yuning felt her breath catch in her throat. Despite this, she patiently waited for Ma Di to finish speaking.
Meanwhile, Chen Wei’s phone was ringing off the hook. Ye Yuning’s phone had been stolen that morning, and the new one Chen Wei had arranged for her was currently in the office. No doubt her work number was also being flooded with calls!
The meeting ended around ten-thirty.
Ye Yuning went straight back to her office, with Chen Wei anxiously following her in. "Boss, Boss Xiao Qi’s side issued a statement saying he has no connection with you. Do you... have any connection?"
Ye Yuning was silent. A statement? No connection?
Seeing Ye Yuning’s bewildered expression, Chen Wei quickly pulled up the announcement that had been released two hours prior and handed her phone over.
Ye Yuning took it and glanced at it. It was issued by the Xiao Corporation. The content was simple and direct, with the title in bold: "Boss Xiao Qi of the Xiao Corporation and Boss Ye of Manlang Have No Personal Connection Whatsoever!"
Ye Yuning stared at it. ’No personal connection whatsoever!’ If there’s no connection, then there’s no connection. Was there really a need for such a big fuss?
Chen Wei said, "This will likely affect us somewhat. Some of our partners have already called to inquire."
"Ask what? What is there to ask? Did they ask about my personal life when we signed the contracts?" Ye Yuning exploded.
That’s true! Chen Wei thought. Indeed! What was there to ask about? The boss isn’t some public figure. And besides, she truly had no relationship with Boss Xiao Qi to begin with. Even if there were, it wasn’t their place to ask.
"So, I should just tell them that?" Chen Wei asked tentatively.
Ye Yuning snapped, "Just tell them that." She hated people who made a big deal out of nothing, stirring up trouble at the slightest hint of news. There was nothing to it, yet they questioned every little rustle in the leaves.
"What if some of the more old-fashioned partners want to terminate their contracts?"
"Terminate them!"
Alright then... That was her boss for you, Chen Wei thought. Partners like that, if they don’t want to cooperate, so be it. They were just too much trouble!
Ye Yuning was fuming. She had asked Boss Xiao Qi to deal with his family’s elder, not to publicize this, right? What did he mean by this? Was he trying to use this public declaration of no relationship to set her up somehow? She must have really offended Tai Sui this year. Definitely!
