Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Ling Ran obviously did not expect that things would turn out to be like this, and he came back to his senses only when the elevator started to go down. He got up and looked at this friend worriedly. Then, he whispered, “Young Ye…”

Ye Yan subconsciously tightened the hand that was still holding the dessert bag. His slightly pale face forced a smile. “I’m okay.”

Ling Ran did not say anything. ‘Bro, you don’t seem to be okay now.’

When Ling Ran was racking his brain about how to comfort his good friend, a figure appeared in their sights first.

“Mr. Ye, we met again.” Su He stepped forward to greet Ye Yan. Her face was showing a polite and sweet smile.

Ye Yan was stunned. When he remembered the situation where the two had lunch together that day, he somehow suddenly became a little embarrassed. “Ms. Su.”

Su He did not really care. She glanced at the cherry blossom mousse cake in Ye Yan’s hand naturally. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, but they returned to their original form after a moment. She smiled gently and said, “Mr. Ye, although our general manager likes Japanese food, she doesn’t really like cherry blossom mousse cake. This is because she doesn’t like the taste of cherry blossoms, so please don’t be offended.”

“I see.” Ye Yan glanced at the cherry blossom mousse cake in his hand, and he smiled bitterly. He also did not know why he had chosen such a dessert when he was buying things just now.

He had subconsciously thought that Zhao Youlin would like this kind of dessert, but he did not expect his guess to be wrong. It turned out that he was busy for nothing.

Su He stared at the dessert in Ye Yan’s hand for a long time. Her eyes slightly darkened, and she suddenly said, “Speaking of which, I really like dessert in this flavor. In order to avoid waste, can you give this dessert to me?”

Ye Yan looked at the gentle smile on Su He’s face, and he remembered the purpose of bringing the dessert again. For the first time, he felt so embarrassed. “If Ms. Su doesn’t mind, please have it.”

“Well, thank you.” Su He took the exquisitely decorated dessert. Something flashed in her mind, and it made her clear eyes brighten.

But soon, she remembered that this dessert was something he bought for her. The lights in her eyes suddenly darkened, and she was a little gloomy.

Ling Ran, who watched this scene from a distance, opened his mouth slightly as he was surprised by what he saw.

‘W-What’s going on? Why is the atmosphere between Young Ye and the secretary so weird? Isn’t Young Ye like Ms. Zhao? Why now…”

‘Oh my, my brainpower seems to be a little insufficient. Who can tell me who Young Ye really likes?’

Compared to Ling Ran’s dilemma, Li, who also saw this episode, obviously thought it through with a much simpler line.

She propped her head with one hand. Then, she bit her spoon and looked at the two of them with a face full of curiosity. ‘Why do I feel that Xiao He seems to be a little angry? Is it an illusion?’

Zhao Youlin, who successfully escaped, went to the development department together with Xiao Jingyao.

Zhao Shuncheng was originally the department chief of the development department. However, Zhao Youxi was suspected of embezzling public funds through the previous investigation, so Zhao Shuncheng, Zhao Youxi’s father and her immediate boss, was implicated, of course. He was forced by Zhao Shunrong to take the blame and resign.

The position of the department chief of the development department was vacant, and the person, who came to take over this position today, was not a stranger to Zhao Youlin and other people. He was the person whom Zhao Youlin and Xiao Jingyao had mentioned not long ago, Zhao Youming.

“I didn’t expect to meet him so soon. Zhao Youxi and her family are either dead or unemployed. Many of them have left, and the family has scattered. However, he could still persuade grandpa to let him join the Zhao Enterprise and replace Zhao Shuncheng’s position so quickly. My brother is not a simple person.” Zhao Youlin looked at the decreasing number of floors above the elevator with a look of interest.

Xiao Jingyao stood behind her. The extremely transparent lenses reflected two dazzling lights in the darkness. “I heard that the second young master had an agreement with the chief director when he went abroad in the past. When he returns, the chief director must arrange a position for him in the Zhao Enterprise.”

“An agreement? Did Li Hongyu go to discuss it with grandpa or Zhao Shuncheng?”

“None of them. I heard that the second young master mentioned it to the chief director himself.”

Zhao Youlin frowned. Then, she chuckled and said, “He sure is ambitious. It’s just that I wonder if his ability can support his ambition.”

Xiao Jingyao avoided answering, but Zhao Youlin could not help but sigh lightly. “However, if he really has that kind of ability, then the people who will be troubled will be us.”

An enemy who was harmful but not smart was not scary, just like Zhao Youxi; an enemy who was smart but not harmful was not scary as well, just like Li Hongyu.

The really scary ones were those who were both harmful and smart. Did her younger brother belong to this category?

Xiao Jingyao agreed with Zhao Youlin’s statement. After nodding, he added, “The chief director has the same thought. Putting a time bomb in the company like this is a bit dangerous, but it was the agreement he promised in the first place, after all. So, he can’t break the promise. Besides, you haven’t been in the company for a long time, so there are many things which you’re not skilled at, General Manager. It’s also a good thing to take this opportunity to let you practice. This is what the chief director said.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. ‘The darn naïve old man clearly wants to see me embarrass myself. Besides, he actually wants me to take care of the problem he caused. What a cunning person.’

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath, and she said helplessly, “Well, forget it. This is not bad as well.”

‘A stepping stone under the throne? One might become the victim with one mistake.’ Zhao Youlin’s eyes flickered as thought about it.

The young man sitting in the office wore a white expensive suit. The smooth lines of the clothes wrapped around the young man’s slender body, reflecting his handsome face.

The corners of the young man’s mouth slightly curled up. He showed a perfect smile, revealing a trace of kindness invisibly. But it also made people feel that he was so dazzling, noble, and inviolable.

What a deceptive appearance! This was Zhao Youlin’s impression of him when she saw him in reality for the first time.

She walked into the room. The moment the young man looked over, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Youlin’s face.

Zhao Youlin stood in front of him, and she took the initiative to extend her hand. She greeted in a low voice, “Hello, I’m Zhao Youlin, the general manager of the Zhao Enterprise.”

The young man sitting on the sofa was stunned. He got up and held Zhao Youlin’s hand. Then, he said with a gentle smile, “Hello, I’m Zhao Youming, the new department chief of the development department. Please take care of me in the future, General Manager Zhao.”
