Humming in a relaxed manner, He Xiaoyu was sitting behind the desk in the director’s office. Standing in front of her were two sturdy men who were feeling distressed.
All sorts of thoughts were running through Lu Mu’s mind, and he was literally breaking out into cold sweat.
It was no doubt that he would feel worried though. He Xiaoyu often visited him in his office, which indeed would make others misunderstand. However, he could get it over by explaining to others that they had business to talk about.
But sitting together at one table was too much. Rumors would be spread like wildfire. How could he gain a foothold in Dongyang this way?
“Xiaoyu, stop messing around. The hall is spacious. You can just move your table there. Why do you insist on working at the same table with me? It’s going to be stuffy!”
“I don’t mind! I want to sit with you at the same table. You can’t say no.”
“Did I offend you in any way?
At first, Wu Heping never thought of approaching Mr. Nan. He wanted Lin Wan only for himself, but he kept failing.Now that he was left with no choice, he could only ask his friend for help. At the same time, he did not care about whether Mr. Nan would ask him to share Lin Wan with him.After the call got through, Mr. Nan’s voice came from the other side of the phone, “Brother Wu, it’s been quite some time since I last saw you. Have you forgotten about me?”Wu Heping answered with a smile, “Of course not. I’ve been busy with work recently, so I didn’t have time to visit you. Well, I’m calling you now, so I hope you don’t take it to heart.”Hearing Wu Heping’s words, Mr. Nan laughed out loud. After a few moments, he lowered his voice and said, “Are you planning to visit me anytime soon? I have two new girls here, and they’re quite good. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied. How do you think about it? Shall I make an appointment for you?”
Noticing something wrong in Mr. Yan’s voice, Li Mu pulled the chair and sat next to him, “What’s wrong? Are you still angry about what happened yesterday? He Xiaoyu is quite bad-tempered, but she’s a nice girl. I already taught her a lesson, so I’m sure she won’t repeat the same mistake again.”“Come on, how would I dare to get angry at her. I’m lucky enough if she doesn’t hold a grudge against me. Anyways, I have something to ask you. Don’t you feel suspicious?”“What?”“He Xiaoyu, Chen Feng, and the reformation?”“What are you trying to say? Go straight to the point.”Stealing a glance outside the window, Mr. Yan lowered his voice and said, “You’re such a fool. What is He Xiaoyu’s surname?”“He!”“What is our president’s surname?”If Li Mu still could not understand what he meant, he was really a fool. Suddenly, Li Mu’s expression changed. Staring blankly at Mr. Yan, he kept sil
The door of Li Mu’s office was opened. Mr. Yan kept pacing back and forth in front of his office. Every time he saw He Xiaoyu, he smiled awkwardly and left away.In the end, He Xiaoyu lost her patience. Hence, she shouted, “Mr. Yan, get in here!”Mr. Yan had been waiting for her to say that. He could not sleep the whole night as he was pondering about how to spill the truth to He Xiaoyu.Although Li Mu’s decision seemed to be the best solution, there were actually unforeseeable consequences. The thing that irked him the most was whether he should tell He Xiaoyu about Li Mu’s resignation or not.Li Mu did remind him to keep it a secret from He Xiaoyu until the resignation process was done.However, he was afraid. He Xiaoyu would find out sooner or later. If she knew that he kept it a secret from her on purpose, his career might come to an end.After pondering for a very long time, he decided to proceed with
Tang Quan was deeply moved when Mrs. He personally apologized to him on behalf of her daughter. He immediately said, “It’s okay. Mrs. He, you’ve overstated it. I can understand why Ms. He temporarily lost her cool.”“That’s good. Xiaoyu has always respected you very much. She did such a thing in a fit of temper this time. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely punish her to teach her a lesson.”“Mrs. He, please don’t do that. If you punish Ms. He, I won’t be able to face her again in the future. Don’t worry, Mrs. He. I really didn’t take this matter to heart. Let’s just forget about it!”“Alright then. I am really sorry for putting you through all of this. I will get Xiaoyu to apologize to you later!”“Please don’t force Ms. He to apologize to me, Mrs. He. I’m begging you. Just let this matter pass. I really mean it!”The woman paused for a moment and said, “Alright. Then we’ll just let it pass. Alas, I am sorry for everything.
Wrapping his arms around his wife, Li Mu said emotionally, “You are right. That is the starting point of my career. I have devoted countless time and effort to this company. Therefore, I was really hesitant to leave.”Lin Wan said with a smile, “I have an idea. How about putting your resignation issue aside first? Didn’t she put you on leave? You can use this time to think about it carefully so that you won’t regret your decision. In the end, no matter what decision you make, don’t let yourself regret it!”He agreed with his wife. Since it was difficult to make a decision, he might as well put things aside first and use this time to think about everything carefully. He didn’t want to regret it later because of a hasty decision he made.“Okay, I won’t think about it for the time being. Let’s take a self-drive trip to the Grand Valley to relax!”Lin Wan gladly agreed. The couple didn’t need to go to work now. Therefore, it was easy f
Mr. Nan started to talk ambiguously, and Wu Heping fell for it. He couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, just tell me already. What’s your idea?”“For the first idea, you just have to show up and make up some reasons to make her stay. Trick her into drinking the drug, and the rest will be smooth sailing.”“What’s the other one?”Mr. Nan smirked, “The other idea is much easier. I’ll get two men to help. You just have to force yourself on her. We will record everything down. She will have no choice but to obey you.”That idea terrified Wu Heping. He shook his head, “We can’t do that. We are done for if she is a decent woman.”Mr. Nan found him disdainful. He wanted this, but he was too timid. He shouldn’t have tried to do anything if he didn’t have the courage.“We will go with the first plan, then. You should hurry and go. Don’t let her get suspicious. The rest will be on you.”Wu Heping got up to leave
Without any intention of teasing He Xiaoyu, Li Mu spoke sincerely and heart-warmingly. Speechless, He Xiaoyu took a bite of her apple. Who knew if she would take his advice seriously?“Alright, if I listen to you, will you come back to work?”“I will if you listen to me, but ...”“No buts. It’s a deal!” He Xiaoyu reached out her pinky finger. “Pinky swears. Whoever breaks the promise is a brat!”Li Mu hesitated for a while, but eventually, he smiled and promised her.“Although I made a promise to you, you’ll have to give me some time. My wife already knows about my resignation. I will have to get her permission before I go back to work.”“No excuse. What else do you want to do if you’re not going to work? Lying around and doing nothing? She can’t even afford to pay her car loans with that pitiful salary of hers!” He Xiaoyu said disdainfully.“She already resigned too,” Li Mu replied.
Mr. Nan’s body went limp and collapsed directly on the ground. Then he knelt on his knees and begged sobbingly, “I don’t know. I really don’t know. Mr. Gou, please save me. Please save me!”“Don’t move and wait for me to go over. Whether you live or die really depends on your luck!”Hearing that, Mr. Nan dropped his phone on the ground. Fear had made him unable to take a hold on himself as he cursed, “Wu Heping, f**k your ancestors! You f**king got me into all these troubles!”…Li Mu drove to the car park of Nanyun Resort Hotel. After getting out of the car, he searched around and didn’t find any trace of his wife. Just when he was about to call Lin Wan, he saw a tall and well-built man walking over in despair. The man didn’t seem to notice him when he walked past him. “Ah, isn’t that Cheng ... What is his name?” Li Mu muttered to himself. Seeing that the man was about to go far, he hurrie
