My Life with Narration

Chapter 515 - 506: Lie Down? Here? Isn't That Inappropriate?

"See, I told you Xiao Yi is not reliable. Once she gets busy with work, she doesn't even recognize her own mom. Look at this; she just got to the company and already sent you away. You're her boyfriend for heaven's sake; isn't that just too disrespectful?"

If I were you, either I'd suppress her with force, or I'd go up there right now, in front of all those bosses, kiss her, and announce your claim over her. Then, take over her position as a domineering CEO, initiate a regime change, completely replace her, and have her stay home to take care of the baby. How cool would that be!"

Downstairs, in the CEO office on Tang Nan's floor, Su Qing sat on the sofa, watching the celebrity in front of her waving his hands around and rolling her eyes.

Changing dynasties? Are you crazy? This isn't ancient times, where beating someone up lands you in their position. And have you seen any regime change that starts with a kiss?

Not to mention it's impossible; even if it were, what then after replacing Shen Yi? Run the company myself? Forget it, if he really had the capability, he'd have already made it big without a narrator. Would he still be a loser for over twenty years?

Besides, he's played the 'the heavens are dead, the yellow sky shall stand' plot before. He's already overthrown old Su, and it didn't feel that great. What's the point?

It's not like he hasn't pinned Shen Yi down before, not just pinned, they've even laid down together. Recently, he's resolved things standing, why seek validation in this aspect?

Also, looking at Tang Nan's expression, it's clear she's up to mischief again, trying to stir trouble between him and Shen Yi.

He hadn't even reacted yet, but Tang Nan seemed to have immersed herself in her own fantasy. Anyone unaware might think she's having a high. He's seen this expression on Shen Yi's face before.

He could only say that the landlady, Shen Yi, and Tang Nan all have some perverse traits.

Most importantly, he realized Tang Nan was advising him just for amusement, and probably to see Shen Yi's misfortune. Modern-day fake girlfriends, really.

Looking at his indifferent, slightly disdainful gaze, Tang Nan slowly came to her senses: "Hey, so are you doing it or not? If you agree, I'll contact Sister Qing right away. The company partly belongs to both of us. Combined, our shares are definitely bigger than Xiao Yi's. By then, we can promote you and make Xiao Yi your secretary. As the boss, you wouldn't have to manage anything else. Isn't there a saying, 'when there's work, the secretary does it; when there isn't, you do her'?"

Su Qing: ...

Seeing Tang Nan's increasingly excited expression, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering just how much harm Shen Yi had caused in her past life to earn such resentment.

"Not really!" Su Qing wasn't moved at all.

It's not even realistic; it's more fictional than a pipe dream, practically sci-fi. If not for her incessant chatter, he wouldn't even bother.

"How could it not be? What a great opportunity! Aren't you angry she dismissed you right after arriving at the company?"

"Not angry. I don't know anything about it anyway, why stay there?"

"No, she just doesn't trust you at all, excluding you from power. You're her boyfriend; is that reasonable?"

"Reasonable? We're not even married. Besides, even if we do marry, what's hers is hers. Why would I want her company? I'm not broke."

Tang Nan: ...

"Untouchable, huh!"

"How am I untouchable? Didn't Xiao Yi say the harem shouldn't meddle in politics? I think it makes sense," Su Qing spread his hands nonchalantly.

"You..."

"Alright, enough already. I'm the harem; I can't meddle in politics. Why are you out here? Are you the harem too? Shouldn't you be upstairs discussing strategies?" Su Qing asked.

At this, Tang Nan rolled her eyes and sat down angrily in her CEO chair: "Your woman is back; what's left for me? When she's not around, I can still make decisions for the company. When something goes wrong, the entire company listens to her. Anyway, I'd rather sneak some slack time.

Might as well, while she's busy upstairs, I could rob her place. Or, how about I take you out for fun? Don't worry; I can assure you there'll be no shortage of beauties, all waist-slim, busty, and booty-popping. Those legs, oh so white, and they're all big celebrities you'd recognize at a glance."

Actually, Su Qing didn't oppose this suggestion. After all, he came this time to see if he could broaden his prospects. But clearly, now wasn't the time. If Shen Yi found out he went off with Tang Nan, he'd be in trouble tonight.

Seeing his silence, Tang Nan continued, "You see, although you're not short of money now, I bet you don't even know how much Xiao Yi owns, right? Earn more, and you can stand tall with her in the future, no?"

To this, Su Qing nodded, "That's true, but let's discuss it later. Not today. When there's a chance, I'd be open to getting to know them."

Hearing this, Tang Nan nodded with satisfaction. She knew this matter was as good as settled, but she still said:

"Come on, are you really that afraid of Xiao Yi? It's just about introducing you to a couple of beauties. Don't worry, I'll cover you; she won't dare do anything to you!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the office door swung open, and Shen Yi casually walked in: "The company's in trouble, and you're not addressing it. Instead, sitting downstairs corrupting my man? I'll have to discuss this with Sister Qing one of these days. Can't have idlers in our company!"

Shen Yi's sudden appearance stunned both of them. Tang Nan, a bit embarrassed, said, "Uh... why are you down here? Not having a meeting?"

"Finished. How long can one meeting take? It's not something we can resolve on the spot. It was just about pulling people in to ask questions, couldn't take half a day. Now I'm here to see what mischief you're up to." Shen Yi said blandly, coming to the table to pour herself a glass of water.

"Uh... you weren't eavesdropping at the door for a while, were you?"

"Yeah, I arrived when you suggested I should go home to nurse the kid."

Tang Nan: ...

"Wow, a dignified CEO eavesdropping!"

"Pfft! What do you mean eavesdropping? It's not like it's your man. Even if it were, if you asked me to listen, I wouldn't bother," Shen Yi said disdainfully.

To this, Su Qing couldn't help but laugh as he watched the two bickering. Luckily, this time Tang Nan was at a disadvantage, caught red-handed, and soon fell silent.

"So what's the situation? Is it serious?" Su Qing asked.

Hearing this, Shen Yi sat beside him, holding her water cup, brows furrowed for a while before saying seriously:

"It's not a big deal, really, just some minor antics from Huayue aimed at us. Lately, they've poached some of our technical talents and increased competition in business.

Is it serious? It's not that I underestimate them, but causing significant damage isn't impossible, and they would also incur a substantial cost. Yet, it's a bit troublesome nonetheless.

But rest assured, now that I'm back, I can handle it. They're simply trying to bully Little Tang due to her lack of experience and insufficient prestige."

As she spoke, the aura emanating from Shen Yi was particularly confident.

For an old hand like her in the business world, handling such matters, while not child's play, wasn't overwhelmingly difficult. As long as it didn't escalate into malicious competition between the two companies, it wouldn't be disastrous.

And the structure of Huayue's company wouldn't permit Hu Liangcai, merely a vice president, to act recklessly. After all, there were shareholders and a board of directors above him, which could only bring her minor annoyances in a limited scope. For this reason, she was confident she could resolve it.

Even Tang Nan didn't dispute this, only timidly saying, "I simply haven't had enough direct dealings. Give me some time, and I promise I'll do better than you. Sigh, should have avoided the entertainment circle; it's so annoying."

"Had you not entered the entertainment circle, you might've starved long ago on the street. Alright, just leave this to me!" Shen Yi said disdainfully.

To this, Su Qing chuckled: "Need any help from me? I'd be fine dropping some hints online, like about stocks."

Though he planned to keep a low profile for the time being, he wouldn't mind helping others avoid potential pitfalls, as long as he didn't directly get involved, it should be fine.

"No need, I can manage it myself!"

"Alright then, call me if needed."

With that, he turned to Tang Nan and smiled: "Alright, since we're back, just relax!"

Tang Nan: "Relax? Here? Isn't that inappropriate with Xiao Yi watching!"

Both of them: ...
