When Xi Xiaye arrived at the bottom of the building, there was still a large group of reporters trying to force their way inside Yueying . The Yueying security guards used up all their forces and could barely hold them back .
She did not halt in her steps as she walked through and stopped at the car beside the crowd .
“Director Xi, are we going straight back to the company?” Xiao Mei asked carefully as Xi Xiaye's expression seemed cold . She seemed to be even cooler than her usual self .
Xi Xiaye opened the door and sat inside . Buckling up, she said, “Help me send this to the Han Corporation first, and then send the document back to the PR Department . ”
She then handed a thick leather-bound envelope to Xiao Mei .
Xiao Mei closed the door and took the item from her . Studying it in doubt, she was then surprised to see the address printed on it . As she was about to ask Xi Xiaye something, she changed her mind after she saw Xi Xiaye's cold face .
Director Xi never liked people discussing her private life, and earlier, she seemed to have had a glimpse of it . Actually, after being by her side for so many years, Xiao Mei had never seen this side of her . Apart from being more headstrong when facing other competitors, she was usually easygoing and gentle .
“Got it, Director!” Xiao Mei replied and then kept the envelope .
It was near evening . The sky was turning dark and rain was expected to come soon although the wet roads from the morning were now dried up .
After dropping Xiao Mei off, Xi Xiaye left .
Traveling on the road, Xi Xiaye did not really feel right inside .
Mr . Mu had helped her a lot in this matter, so she felt that she needed to thank him properly and with something instant too .
After a while, she had no idea how to thank him . A gift? Flowers? She did not really know what he liked .
She parked her car at a temporary spot and had some quiet time to herself . After that, she grabbed her phone and sent him a message .
Mr . Mu, what do you like?
He was discussing with partnering companies when he received her message . When he took out his phone and saw her one-liner, his face suddenly softened .
Was this girl that free now to find out about him?
He smiled and then replied: I'll tell you at night .
She replied: Can't you tell me now?
I'm busy now . I'll cook you some nice food tonight .
Oh… I want to treat you to a meal tonight…
Sure .
After that, I want to treat you to a movie too .
Mmm .
I'll go first and tell you the location later .
It was the first time Li Si saw Mu Yuchen use his phone when he was at work . He did not even notice when CEO Lu called out to him . After a while, he put his phone aside and his usual calmness returned to his face .
“Master, CEO Lu said…”
“Chairman Mu, can you consider our company's proposal?” The middle-aged man spoke up as soon as he saw Mu Yuchen's attention return .
He sipped some tea as he flipped through the document in his hand . “CEO Lu, I'm just a businessman that focuses on the end results . I don't really mind the process . You just have to focus on your current project . We'll definitely give you a chance if you provide us with satisfactory results . It all just depends on you . ”
The middle-aged man seemed grateful . “Thank you, Chairman Mu . We'll do our best to achieve perfection!”
Mu Yuchen nodded and closed the folder in his hand . , “Mmm, I'm confident in both you and your company . We'll stop here today . Look for Vice President Wen if you need anything else . ”
“Okay, thank you, Chairman Mu!”
Xi Xiaye was thinking hard on her own since she did not get an answer from Mu Yuchen . Without realizing it, she had driven to the New Era Plaza .
It was pretty crowded at night . There were people dancing in the public square and the streetlamps were already lit up at 5 . 30 p . m . since the sky had turned pretty dark . The dim lights shrouded the whole square with a hazy vibe .
Xi Xiaye got down, locked her car, and then went towards the busy streets .
At the same time, inside the CEO office of the Han Corporation .
Han Yifeng, who had just returned from City C, was now sitting in front of his table . He was looking at the entertainment news on his screen with a hardened expression as if he was shrouded in ice . He seemed really scary and Secretary Wang beside him shivered a little .
In the few days that CEO Han had left City Z, chaos had ensued . As the orphanage matter was still a popular topic, there was no turning back for Ms . Xinyi now with what had just happened .
Pa!
Han Yifeng slammed the mouse down, seeming all gloomy . Secretary Wang was shocked .
“CEO Han, someone's probably defaming Ms . Xinyi on purpose . I've heard that Ms . Xinyi was attacked the moment she walked out of the hotel, and these incidents…” Secretary Wang tried to explain .
“Just what happened? I remember I wanted you to tell her to appear less in public . What exactly did you tell her?” Han Yifeng glared at Secretary Wang coldly .
“CEO Han, Ms . Xinyi said it was the wedding of Ms . Su Nan and Mr . Ruan Heng, so she wanted to wish them in person . She was just trying to be nice . Unexpectedly, they ran into Ms . Xiaye and things escalated quickly,” Secretary Wang explained .
Han Yifeng's eyes darkened and a cold light flashed through his pupils . “Xiaye? How is she related to this?”
“No, CEO Han… It's not related to Ms . Xiaye . Yu Lingling exposed that Ms . Xiaye was expelled from the military academy, and Ms . Xiaye… She left before the banquet ended . Ms . Su Nan thought that Ms . Xinyi…”
Secretary Wang did not continue because he noticed Han Yifeng's face getting colder and colder . He could feel the chill even though he was standing quite a distance away from him .
“About Xiaye getting expelled from military school? Wasn't this matter erased? How did they find out?” Han Yifeng demanded .
Secretary Wang shook his head . “Maybe they found out after talking to their friends . What should we do now, CEO Han? Ms . Xinyi has called you many times, and Yueying is now flooded with reporters . I also heard that all of Ms . Xinyi's films are being halted . Her lead roles in several big films have been removed as well . She gave me a call just now…”
