"Ms. Li, please control your emotions. This is a public place, the Bo Group, not Juanyi," Ruo Chi said with a cold face.
"But!" Li Xiaoru was infuriated.
"I know you feel wronged, but since the Second Master has assigned you this position, there must be a reason. Everyone has to work their way up step by step. There are no special privileges," he said, with a half - smile. "I have to be fair. If I were to satisfy you today and the people below rebel or go on strike because of this, how do you think I should handle it? If it delays the company's project progress and the Second Master questions me face - to - face, what should I say?"
All of Li Xiaoru's retorts got stuck in her throat. She couldn't utter a single word, while the team leader hiding behind Ruo Chi sneered contemptuously.
"… I understand."
Bide one's time and there will be peace; take a step back and there will be a broader sky.
Once she won back Bo Jingyu's heart, she'd make all these people pay!
"I'm so glad you can see reason. If you need any help, just come to me. The Second Master is not in the company now, but Qianli and I still have some influence," Ruo Chi said, then prepared to leave with a smile.
"Jingyu's not in the company? Where did he go?" Li Xiaoru asked urgently, grabbing his arm.
The smile on his face faded as he glanced at her hand and awkwardly pulled his arm back.
"The Second Master's schedule is confidential. You'd better get back to work."
"Pfft, how pitiful," the team leader said, bursting into laughter after Ruo Chi left. "We all had our doubts before. People said your relationship with Young Master Bo was on the rocks, otherwise why the long delay in getting married? Now he doesn't even tell you where he's going. It seems to be true."
Li Xiaoru turned around, glaring at her with red eyes. "Jingyu and I are fine! You don't need to stir up trouble here!"
"Sure, sure. You two are a perfect couple, deeply in love. Could you please go print the materials for me? I'm in a hurry," the team leader said cheerfully, then sat down at her desk without even looking back.
"A bunch of snobs! Bah!" Li Xiaoru cursed, then took the materials and rushed to the corridor.
For some reason, she couldn't get through to Shen Shiyu on the phone no matter how hard she tried. She had followed Shen Shiyu's advice and endured humiliation to work in the Bo Group. Now she was being bullied like an ant, but Shen Shiyu seemed to have vanished into thin air!
"Do they think I'm a sick cat just because I'm not showing my claws? Well, no one can help me at this crucial moment. I have to help myself!" Li Xiaoru gritted her teeth, hatred welling up in her heart.
Ten minutes later, she put the copied materials on the team leader's desk, hiding a cup of steaming hot water behind her back.
"What is this you've printed? Didn't I tell you about the spacing and font? Are you deaf or… Aaaaah!" Before the team leader could finish scolding, she was splashed with the boiling water on her head. She screamed in pain, rolling on the ground with her eyes tightly shut.
"Let your mouth run wild! This is what happens when you mess with me!" Li Xiaoru felt a sense of pleasure from revenge and vented her anger standing aside.
Buzz, buzz. Bo Jingyu's phone kept vibrating, but he kept hanging up.
Su Minghan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Which girl have you hooked up with? She's so eager to call you. Answer it quickly."
He glared at Su Minghan. "You can't say anything nice."
"Come on, work can wait. It's not easy to soothe an angry girl. I'll give you ten minutes. Answer it quickly."
"I don't need it. Let's continue with what we were talking about…" Bo Jingyu was interrupted by the phone vibrating again. He was so angry that he almost turned it off.
Su Minghan's curiosity got the better of him. He playfully snatched the phone.
The name on the screen was "Ruo Chi".
"Meh, so boring," he said disappointedly, then threw the phone back into Bo Jingyu's lap. "Answer it quickly, or we can't continue this work discussion. It'll waste time and delay progress."
Bo Jingyu didn't argue. He picked up the phone and walked to the French window.
"I told you not to call me when I'm busy."
"I'm really sorry, Second Master! I didn't want to either, but Ms. Li… Alas! She scalded the head of the technology department!" Ruo Chi was fuming with anger.
Why did all the bad things happen to him?
Bo Jingyu closed his eyes speechlessly. After a long silence, he said, "Send the person to the hospital immediately. I'll cover all the expenses."
"What about Ms. Li?"
"Send her home! Don't let her come to the company without my notice!"
Su Minghan saw him hang up the phone and walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets.
"What happened?"
Bo Jingyu rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Li Xiaoru scalded someone in my company. I may have to go back and handle it."
"I can wait. We can talk tonight! But…"
Su Minghan saw his hesitation and asked curiously, "Is there someone else?"
Su Minghan forced a smile. "This is a big event like a concert. How could I only invite the Bo Group? I've also invited Ah Hairui."
He was stunned. "Will Shen Ximan come too?"
"Of course," he shrugged. "She's got a worse temper than before. She can turn hostile in an instant. If you want to leave early, you'd better tell her in person when she comes. I don't want to be the one in the middle."
"Besides, I did remind you before you came today that there would be others involved in the discussion. It's my fault! I should have informed you earlier." Su Minghan shook his head dejectedly.
Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the office door.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Wen has arrived."
He looked at Bo Jingyu and grimaced. "Speak of the devil."
Shen Ximan walked in with the latest - model handbag and black sunglasses.
"I'm honored to meet you both, Mr. Su, Young Master Bo," she said with a smile, taking off her sunglasses and shaking hands with them.
"Time is precious. Let's get straight to the point," she said as she sat down.
Just then, Bo Jingyu's cold voice came.
"Man'er, I have something to attend to and have to leave first."
This intimate address really stunned Su Minghan and Shen Ximan.
They looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment.
"Y - Young Master Bo, what's the hurry?"
He must be doing it on purpose! Calling her like that in front of others!
"My fiancée has caused some trouble in the company. I have to go and deal with it."
"Ah… I - I should make it clear that I didn't hear or see anything. I'm just air. I'll go out for some fresh air," Su Minghan said, eager to save himself. Then he quickly took the opportunity to run out, afraid of getting scolded.
Shen Ximan felt like she had been played with. She stood up abruptly.
"What do you mean? Can't we have a proper work discussion?"
Bo Jingyu sighed, looking innocent and pitiful. "You've been so affectionate with Bo Siming, calling each other 'darling'. Can't I have some compassion for my fiancée?"
Xue Xiaoqi!
She must have leaked the information again!
She thought the warning yesterday would make her behave, but it seemed she had made the same mistake again!
