Li Shengrong had left, and Zhang Jiang and Liuu Yang were taken by surprise by Xia Mingyue's move. However, at the same time, they became even more wary of her. Xia Mingyue now held such power at Blue Star Technology that with just a word from her, life and death were in her hands.

"Mr. Xia, you are truly magnanimous. Such people really should be..." Liuu Yang tried to brown-nose, but before he could finish, Xia Mingyue cut him off.

"Director Liuu, Director Zhang, let's put this matter behind us. Nobody should bring it up again. Focus on your work; by the end of the year, I hope we can present a good report card. You two are responsible for the company's lifelines, and I don't want any mistakes to happen there. You may go now," Xia Mingyue said, her tone as cold as an iceberg, pushing people miles away.

Liuu Yang and Zhang Jiang suddenly looked at each other and then fell silent.

It wasn't that Xia Mingyue wanted to drive these two capable lieutenants away, but at that moment, it was necessary for her to dismiss them.

After Li Shengrong had left, Ye Xiao had been staring at her with a very peculiar expression, which made Xia Mingyue feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at?" Once Liuu Yang and Zhang Jiang had departed, Xia Mingyue immediately glared at Ye Xiao and said loudly.

"This mixture of kindness and severity Mr. Xia employs is indeed masterful. Luckily, I'm just a minor employee, not a threat to Mr. Xia. Alright, Mr. Xia, I must hurry up and get going now. There are several leaders waiting downstairs for me. What would it look like for a small security guard like me to be up here with the boss? People might think I'm a toad lusting after a swan's flesh, and I don't want any misunderstandings!" Ye Xiao said, then turned to leave.

"Stop right there!" Xia Mingyue glared at Ye Xiao, who had made her seem like the wicked witch, annoying her greatly as she yelled at him.

As a president, Xia Mingyue should have been mindful of her image. However, at that moment, she had completely forgotten that she still needed to maintain the demeanor of a boss.

"What now?" Ye Xiao turned to look at Xia Mingyue, feeling less than interested in scheming women.

"Do you think I'm terrifying?" Xia Mingyue asked coldly.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Sort of."

"Hmph, go on then!" Xia Mingyue said.

Upon hearing Xia Mingyue's permission to leave, Ye Xiao scurried away immediately.

Xia Mingyue watched as Ye Xiao departed, frowning and filled with anger.

"Hey, are you okay?" Fang Jing suddenly addressed Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue snapped back to her senses a bit and quickly said, "I'm fine. How could I possibly be troubled?"

"You seemed a bit agitated," Fang Jing observed with a smile.

"Did I? How could that be? A mere security guard worth getting excited over?" Xia Mingyue said haughtily. "Humph, since you think I'm so terrifying, I will let you truly understand my fearsomeness."

"Do you like him?" Fang Jing asked again.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyue was so startled she nearly dropped the water glass in her hand. She quickly turned to Fang Jing and seriously said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Fang Jing chuckled and said, "Ming Yue, I think you really care too much about this guy. Although he once saved you, you also said that after saving you, he just left. It could have been just a simple pass-by. But don't you think what you're doing is a bit too much?"

"Do I?" Caught off guard by Fang Jing's pressing questions, Xia Mingyue hastily responded, "Alright, alright, you're such a busybody. Now that the company's obstacles are cleared up, you can proudly be laid off. I'm not holding onto you anymore."

Fang Jing's arrival at Blue Star Technology was the result of Xia Mingyue's persistent badgering. Fang Jing often complained that Xia Mingyue was shackling her freedom-filled youth; now it was finally over.

Xia Mingyue thought that Fang Jing would definitely be happy, but instead Fang Jing said, "Xia Mingyue, you scheming girl, are you trying to get rid of me after I've served my purpose?"

"A donkey?" Xia Mingyue looked Fang Jing up and down!

"Annoying."

Xia Mingyue then said, "Aren't you always wanting to quickly wrap up Blue Star's matters so you can spend your youth however you want?"

Fang Jing mysteriously smiled and said, "Yes, I used to think that way, but now, heh, I don't think that any more. I'm going to stay to watch your and the little security guard's story unfold."

"Stop!" Xia Mingyue immediately formed a 'stop' gesture with her hands and addressed Fang Jing, "Listen Fang Jing, there's no way I'll have any entanglement with that security guard. At most, I'm grateful to him and provided him with a job!"

"But according to what you've said, I really can't understand why such a skilled person would come to be your little security guard. I really suspect he's your lover!" Fang Jing said to Xia Mingyue, "Ming Yue, tell me, during these few months in Minghai City, have you taken a lover? Is this guy here to see you? And now you want to send me away so you can be with him all the time, right?"

Xia Mingyue listened to what Fang Jing was saying and instantly felt overwhelmed. It was nothing, but Fang Jing made it sound like it was true.

"You... you shut up, there's nothing, absolutely nothing! Fang Jing, if you keep slandering me, I, Xia Mingyue, will cut ties with you!" Xia Mingyue couldn't think of any way to stop Fang Jing from spouting nonsense.

Fang Jing giggled, thought for a moment, then said to Xia Mingyue, "Okay, okay, I believe you, but you have to prove it to me."

"How do you want me to prove it?" Xia Mingyue looked at Fang Jing suspiciously; Fang Jing's mind worked quickly—how else could she have been roped in as a strategist by Xia Mingyue?

Xia Mingyue couldn't believe it—the strategist was now plotting against her.

Fang Jing's eyes rolled around; those round, glistening eyes frightened Xia Mingyue, who knew that Fang Jing's mind harbored nothing good, only malicious schemes, and plenty of them at that.

Fang Jing gestured towards Xia Mingyue with her finger!

"What do you want?" Xia Mingyue glared at Fang Jing!

"If you don't come over, I'll shout it out loud!" Fang Jing threatened.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyue immediately kept quiet. Fang Jing was capable of anything, so she hurriedly obediently went over to Fang Jing, who whispered in Xia Mingyue's ear.

After hearing Fang Jing's words, Xia Mingyue immediately gasped.

"No... no way, how could this be possible?" Xia Mingyue immediately shook her head vigorously!

"It seems there is a problem; you don't even dare to try. I didn't say to make it long. If you prove that you didn't lie to me, you can always find some excuse to dump him later," said Fang Jing.

Xia Mingyue thought it over and felt something was off about Fang Jing's words, but what could she do? Not follow Fang Jing's suggestion? If this girl went to tell her mom she had a lover, her mom wouldn't blame her—she'd force her into marriage instead!

Thinking of being forced into marriage, Xia Mingyue shuddered.

Fang Jing knew Xia Mingyue best—it was strange how Xia Mingyue shared everything with Fang Jing—so Fang Jing immediately chuckled and said, "Ming Yue, let's forget it then. Since you don't want to prove it, we'll leave it be. Besides, you know how interested your mom will be in marriage discussions."

"Fang Jing!" Xia Mingyue gritted her teeth and glared at Fang Jing.

Fang Jing just chuckled and said, "Mr. Xia, is there something you need? Your humble assistant is all ears."

"Do as you say!" Xia Mingyue said helplessly. She was always sharp with others but could never match Fang Jing's wit because Fang Jing was even sharper.

Upon hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Fang Jing immediately smiled triumphantly.

Xia Mingyue now regretted why she had messed with Ye Xiao in the first place—now it had led Fang Jing to doubt her, and she was doomed.

On another note, let's talk about Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao had just arrived on the second floor of the logistics department and immediately sneezed twice. Rubbing his nose, he murmured, "Strange, are the young women in Minghai City already missing me so much?"

Before Ye Xiao could finish pondering, he heard a voice calling out, "Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao looked up in confusion. At that moment, he was standing at the door of the logistics department, with Wang Dongliang and Li Shengrong, who had just come down, also there. It was Wang Dongliang who had called out to him as "Brother Xiao."

Although Wang Dongliang was a recent subordinate promoted by Xia Mingyue, he could tell that Ye Xiao, the security guard, was no ordinary person. Therefore, without clarifying the relationship between Ye Xiao and Xia Mingyue, Wang Dongliang decided to cozy up first, to avoid tragedy in case it turned out that Ye Xiao had an extraordinary identity later.

"Don't be so formal, why don't you just call me Little Ye?" chuckled Ye Xiao.

Little Ye?

Wang Dongliang didn't really dare to address him that way but chuckled and said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, are you joking? With your aura, you're definitely not an ordinary person. I, Wang Dongliang, am but a simple man. We're going to be under the same roof, so let's look out for each other."

Ye Xiao was not fond of Wang Dongliang, who was quite manipulative, and had bamboozled Li Shengrong into complete bafflement. Therefore, Ye Xiao didn't have a good impression of him. However, now that Wang Dongliang was the head of the logistics department, Ye Xiao couldn't afford to offend him—what if he made things difficult for him? Xia Mingyue seemed like she wanted to devour him, and Ye Xiao was still shaking from that encounter.

"Director Wang, you're now the head of the logistics department, and I'm just a humble security guard. You're flattering me too much; I also happen to be younger than you, so calling me 'little brother' would be enough!" said Ye Xiao with a smile.

Li Shengrong had just informed Wang Dongliang that he was now the head of the logistics department. Having been in the workplace for so many years, Li Shengrong knew the importance of bending over backward to curry favor. Wang Dongliang was no longer the subordinate he used to be but his new boss, so he had to please him, even if he could curse Wang Dongliang's ancestors in his heart, he still had to say nice things to his face!
