Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 773

Shouldn’t smaller companies prefer employees who actually get things done, not smooth talkers?! Yet Ye Yuning actually likes this kind of slick operator! I really don’t know how she even managed to get this studio up and running.

As soon as the person left, Luo Xin appeared in Ye Yuning’s office. "Boss, do we keep blocking him in the future?" Luo Xin really disliked Lai Shuo now; simply put, she didn’t want to see him here at all.

Ye Yuning took a sip of soup and said, "No need. He won’t be coming back." Things have already escalated to this point. If I still tried to force him to stay with my team, it would be truly inconsiderate. Besides, I’m not exactly short-staffed. Why would I want someone like Lai Shuo, of all people?

Luo Xin nodded. "Director Chen will be back tomorrow."

"Mm, got it."

Now that Chen Wei had been promoted to Director, she often had to travel for business. But that was fine; Ye Yuning was used to her absence and, in fact, felt more at ease delegating many tasks to Chen Wei.

「Half an hour later.」

Lai Shuo returned to the Xiao Corporation.

He respectfully approached Xiao Linye. "Sir, I have apologized to Boss Ye."

Leaving the Xiao Corporation is out of the question. But the thought of having had to rely on another employee to swipe his card when he arrived earlier made him uneasy.

Xiao Linye coldly lifted his gaze and gave him a scrutinizing look.

Frozen under his stare, Lai Shuo stiffened. "Sir, please don’t drive me away." His attitude had truly softened completely.

Xiao Linye lifted the cup in front of him and took a sip, asking coldly, "What did she say?"

The ’she’ Xiao Linye referred to was Ye Yuning. It was evident that whether Lai Shuo could remain at the Xiao Corporation now depended primarily on Ye Yuning’s stance.

Lai Shuo lowered his head. "Boss Ye said she forgave me."

Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "She forgave you?"

"Yes, that’s what Boss Ye said," Lai Shuo said timidly, looking like a chastened spouse. Actually, my recent tantrums while working with Ye Yuning were also connected to the past. During our previous collaboration, Ye Yuning was truly impossible to communicate with, and she made my life miserable. I was resentful, and that’s what led to this whole mess.

Xiao Linye’s eyes narrowed icily. "Did you really go and apologize?"

What kind of temper did Ye Yuning have? That harmonious period they’d spent together at Shanyu Pavilion now seemed like a dream. She was just as the rumors described: bad-tempered and domineering! Despite her small stature, Ye Yuning’s temper, when it flared, was truly something else. Just last night, she was nearly assaulted by those thugs, and Lai Shuo had stood by and watched! For something like that to happen... in Ye Yuning’s world, the word ’forgiveness’ probably didn’t even exist. Now Lai Shuo claimed she’d forgiven him? How could I possibly believe that?

"I went, I really did."

"Then have her call me," Xiao Linye said coldly.

Lai Shuo: "..."

Upon hearing this, Lai Shuo felt his mind go blank, a dull BUZZ resonating within it. Ask Ye Yuning to call him? That’s really putting me on the spot. Back in the office, Ye Yuning made it crystal clear she wouldn’t make that call.

"Sir, she won’t make that call," Lai Shuo said, somewhat conflicted.

Xiao Linye’s eyes grew colder. "Hasn’t she forgiven you? She won’t even make a call for you?"

"Boss Ye has forgiven me, but she hasn’t forgiven *you*."

"..."

"The reason she doesn’t want to call you, Sir, is because of what happened with Miss Qi. She’s still holding a grudge about that."

Lai Shuo quickly shifted the blame to Xiao Linye. And judging by Ye Yuning’s temperament, she probably wouldn’t forgive Sir easily for the Qi Mulan affair either. I could see that much.

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes.

Thinking about Qi Mulan’s current situation, his head began to ache...

"Have Xia Andai come to my office," he ordered.

"Yes, I’ll see to it immediately."

Seeing that Xiao Linye was finally giving him tasks, Lai Shuo let out a sigh of relief. As long as he gives me work, that’s all that matters! I was just worried Sir would keep ignoring me; that was making me really anxious. I genuinely don’t want to leave the Xiao Corporation. The benefits are one thing, but it’s also become a habit. The power of ingrained habits is truly terrifying.

Just as Lai Shuo was turning to leave, Xiao Linye called out, "Wait."

"Sir, I await your command." Lai Shuo’s demeanor was once again extremely submissive. It was evident he had truly learned his lesson from this incident.

Xiao Linye put down the water cup in his hand and said, "Call Kang Xuan. Tell him to come back and stay by her side. You go run that line for her."
