"Mr. Xia... Mr. Xia, how could that be? I've been looking forward to your calls every day. It shows that you care about your subordinates. Mr. Xia, just give me the order, and if there's anything Li can do, I'll make sure it goes smoothly. Even if it's something I can't do, I'll find a way to take good care of it. Mr. Xia, please don't be angry, I'm just a scatterbrain, please don't be mad at me." At this moment, Li Shengrong had said all he could to fawn and flatter, and he even looked like he had more to offer.

Ye Xiao stood by, feeling disgusted. He thought to himself, my dear mother, I always thought I was shameless enough, but this guy is even more shameless than me, and it's shamelessness without a limit. I've learned my lesson, today, damn, I've really learned a big lesson.

"The company's recruitment of security guards, I heard Assistant Fang say it's been three days now. How is it going?" The woman's voice on the phone wasn't harsh, but it gave off a feeling of keeping people at a distance.

Li Shengrong hurriedly replied, "It's... it's like this, Mr. Xia, let me explain slowly..."

But before Li Shengrong could speak, Mr. Xia immediately cut in.

"Director Li, you don't mean to tell me that you haven't recruited anyone yet, do you? I heard someone say you were recruiting at Qiuming Labor Market, is that true?"

At Mr. Xia's words, Li Shengrong's legs went weak with fright. How did Mr. Xia know he was recruiting security at Qiuming Labor Market? The company's policy was to contact a security firm.

"Mr. Xia, listen to me, I can explain!" Although the weather was no longer hot, Li Shengrong was now sweating profusely.

However, Mr. Xia didn't give him a chance to explain and directly said, "I'm right outside Qiuming Labor Market, I'm coming in."

"Ah?" When Li Shengrong heard Mr. Xia's last sentence, he almost screamed. But by then, Mr. Xia had already hung up.

Yan Luo stood next to Li Shengrong like a statue, looking at him and saying, "Director Li, is everything okay?"

"The sky is falling!" Li Shengrong said with a look of despair, heading straight for the outside of Qiuming Labor Market.

But before he could take a few steps, the whole Qiuming Labor Market was in an uproar. Over half of the people's attention was now on the entrance to Qiuming Labor Market. At that moment, a professionally dressed woman with a gorgeous figure and tall stature walked in, followed by another woman, wearing glasses, who didn't compare with the first in terms of looks but whose chest was not any less impressive.

"Mr... Mr. Xia!" Upon seeing the professional woman in front, Li Shengrong wished he could run over and kowtow fervently.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao, who was standing inside, saw the two beautiful women who had walked in.

Wherever there were beautiful women, there was bound to be Ye Xiao. But at this moment, Ye Xiao wanted to find a hidden spot to hide because he recognized someone familiar.

"This is the new General Manager of Blue Star Technology Company, Xia Mingyue," someone among the small and large companies recruiting there said in surprise upon seeing the two women.

Indeed, this was Mr. Xia, Xia Mingyue herself, who had once had a brief encounter with Ye Xiao in Minghai City. In fact, Ye Xiao could be considered Xia Mingyue's lifesaver.

In that moment, Xia Mingyue, whose face was calm as still water, looked at the sweating Li Shengrong with a smile and said, "Director Li, may I see the elites you've selected?"

Li Shengrong, despite being in his thirties or forties, found Xia Mingyue, who was just a young woman in her twenties, to be like an insurmountable mountain.

At that time, the woman in the beige business suit beside Xia Mingyue, smiling, said to Li Shengrong, "Director Li, Mr. Xia is new to the company and still unfamiliar with many aspects of our business. Mr. Xia certainly wouldn't want anyone trying to pull a fast one on her at this time!"

What was initially just a work issue, after the woman in beige spoke, suddenly seemed like Li Shengrong was doing something just for Xia Mingyue to notice, easily interpreted as Li Shengrong trying to intimidate Mr. Xia!

Li Shengrong was sharper than a monkey's bristles, so how could he possibly not understand Assistant Fang's insinuations!

"Mr. Xia, how dare I? Mr. Xia, I really..." At this time, Li Shengrong didn't know how to deal with Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue hadn't been at Blue Star Technology Company for long, just about half a month. As the saying goes, new leaders bring their own team, and since her arrival, she had already fired three managers and two directors, and she had even nearly dismissed a supervisor outright. Therefore, although Xia Mingyue rarely lost her temper, few people at Blue Star Technology were unafraid of her.

Xia Mingyue smiled slightly and said calmly, "Director Li has been with the company for so long, you must know the company's regulations very well. Alright, let's not talk about anything else for now, at least let me see your recruitment efforts over the past three days."

Li Shengrong knew very well that Xia Mingyue was planning a thorough purge of Blue Star Technology, and as the director of the logistics department, he hadn't escaped her notice, and it seemed there had even been someone reporting on him.

But where could Li Shengrong find someone who had already been recruited now? Ah, that's right!

"Is there... Of course, there is." Li Shengrong had felt out of options, but then he suddenly thought of someone.

Hearing Li Shengrong's words, Fang Jing immediately became suspicious because, according to her information, Li Shengrong hadn't managed to recruit anyone. Firstly, it would violate the company's regulations, and secondly, it was an indication of poor performance—both of these excuses could fully justify pulling Director Li down from his position as the Head of Logistics.

However, now Li Shengrong was saying there was someone, which caught Fang Jing by surprise.

Xia Mingyue was new to the scene, and many who met her just saw a young woman in her early twenties, so essentially, no one really took her seriously. But the ensuing half-month had almost turned into hell for Blue Star Technology Company, oh no, that wasn't entirely true to say. Firstly, regular employees were unaffected, and those who had shown goodwill naturally fared a bit better. As for those who looked down on Xia Mingyue, they became the targets of Xia Mingyue and her close friend Fang Jing's offensive. These two were no mere ornaments—their minds were full of cunning schemes. Within ten days, they had dismissed five of the company's key personnel and, at the same time, had promoted five capable individuals to those previously high-ranking positions. The company's operations continued as usual, with no sign of being affected. This was enough to show that this young woman in others' eyes was no ordinary person!

"Yan Luo, where is that talent we recruited?" Li Shengrong shouted toward Yan Luo.

At this moment, Wang Dongliang was entangled with someone else, and Li Shengrong didn't want Xia Mingyue to see the sorry state Wang Dongliang was in, so he gestured to Yan Luo!

Yan Luo turned his head to look at Ye Xiao, who was making a getaway.

"Hey, where are you going? Our boss wants to see you!" Yan Luo called out to Ye Xiao.

Yan Luo's voice caused Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing to turn their attention to Ye Xiao. At this point, Ye Xiao had his back to them, so they couldn't see his face clearly.

"That skinny guy over there?" Fang Jing scoffed at Director Li, "Director Li, are you challenging Mr. Xia's and my intelligence?"

"This..." Although Li Shengrong had just felt a glimmer of hope, he himself looked at Ye Xiao's thin frame and couldn't believe it.

"Director Li, go back to the office. The company will be studying and," Fang Jing looked at Director Li with a slight smile on her lips and continued, "dealing with your work during this period!"

The word "deal" scared Li Shengrong, and he jumped in alarm. What kind of joke was this? Once handled, could there be any good outcome?

"Mr. Xia!" Li Shengrong tried to explain to Xia Mingyue again. After all, even though there wasn't much to gain from the logistics department, he was still a director—a case of better being the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.

However, their Mr. Xia seemed not to have heard Li Shengrong at all and just walked straight inside.

Fang Jing had been delighted all this while, finding the last few days of upheaval at Blue Star Technology Company extremely thrilling. It gave her a taste of the freshness of conspiracy and intrigue. The last obstacle, as she and Xia Mingyue saw it, was Li Shengrong. With him gone, Xia Mingyue could truly become undisputed within Blue Star Technology Company. Yet, as Fang Jing reveled in her joy, Xia Mingyue walked even deeper into Qiuming Labor Market.

At this time, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Mingyue, the managing director of Blue Star Technology Company, who possessed beauty that could sink fish and charm birds and shame the moon and flowers, briskly approached the plainly dressed, unremarkable-looking Ye Xiao.

"Hi, beautiful!" Ye Xiao greeted Xia Mingyue with a grin as she approached him.

"Come with me!" Xia Mingyue stood in front of Ye Xiao, completely ignoring his nonsense, and spoke seriously, then she promptly walked away.

A beautiful CEO speaking seriously to a country bumpkin about going out together!

Is that normal? Obviously not, obviously no country bumpkin would receive such treatment!

Yan Luo, who stood beside Ye Xiao, was also stunned. Actually, he had thought their beautiful CEO was going to give him a harsh talking-to, but unexpectedly, she was speaking to Ye Xiao instead. Could it be that the beautiful CEO liked Ye Xiao's type?

Ye Xiao watched as Xia Mingyue walked briskly out of Qiuming Labor Market, hesitating whether to follow.

"Hey, what are you doing? Our boss told you to come out; maybe she's really going to hire you!" Yan Luo was a martial arts expert, so he always admired those stronger than him.

Ye Xiao uttered an "Oh" and leisurely walked outside. However, the expression on his face was incredibly pained, as if a quiet chat with the beautiful CEO was more unbearable than being killed!
