Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 683: No Sense of Situation


Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao, and although he annoyed her somewhat, she knew that if she didn't let Ye Xiao help her up now, she might fall under suspicion of despising others. Besides, Ye Xiao had indeed been a great help to her. At the very least, if it weren't for Ye Xiao, she wouldn't be at the company right now but in the hospital recuperating.

"I didn't really want you to help me, but to get the meeting started sooner, I don't want any trouble, so let's go!" Xia Mingyue's tone emphasized her reluctance.

But who was Ye Xiao? A very smart person, who could easily see through Xia Mingyue's thoughts. Yet, understanding without revealing anything, he remained a good friend. Since Xia Mingyue was willing to let him support her, it suited him just as well.

The sun was bright, and the autumn wind was brisk.

Wang Dongliang had finally become the director of logistics at Blue Star Technology, and early that morning he had begun to busily go about his tasks, which were fundamentally different from those of others—his were all about throwing his weight around.

Previously, Wang Dongliang at Blue Star Technology was a nobody, even if he talked big. But who believed him? Now things were different. He was the head of the logistics department, and even though the logistics department was seen as the lowest within Blue Star Technology, it was undeniable that a director was still a director.

Even a weak tiger was still a tiger, after all. So, Wang Dongliang spent his morning inspecting his territory. Coincidentally, he was checking on the security guards at the gate with Li Shengrong and Yan Luo by his side. Naturally, Wang Dongliang's intention was also to have the security bow and scrape to him, thus showing off the power he wielded as the logistics director.

But, at that moment!

"Director Wang, don't those two look like Mr. Xia and Ye Xiao?" Li Shengrong glanced aside unintentionally and saw Ye Xiao helping an unsteady Xia Mingyue approach the Blue Star Technology building, immediately expressing his surprise to Wang Dongliang.

Following Li Shengrong's pointed direction, Wang Dongliang turned to look and was immediately shocked beyond belief—those two were indeed Xia Mingyue and Ye Xiao! Even more damning was that Ye Xiao was holding Xia Mingyue's arm, and there seemed to be something wrong with her foot.

Yesterday, when Ye Xiao was appointed as Xia Mingyue's personal driver, Wang Dongliang had been aware of it, and knowing this made him instantly annoyed.

Therefore, Wang Dongliang hurried towards his "foster parents"—'Xia Mingyue'.

"Mr. Xia, what happened to you?" After running over, Wang Dongliang looked at Xia Mingyue in shock, then shouted angrily at Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, what is going on here? If anything happens to Mr. Xia, I won't let you off the hook!"

Hearing Wang Dongliang's words, Ye Xiao knew that Wang Dongliang was just putting on a show of loyalty here. However, Ye Xiao felt pity for Wang Dongliang, thinking how could someone be so oblivious? Couldn't he see that the last thing Xia Mingyue wanted right now was to draw attention in public? With Wang Dongliang's outburst, many eyes were now on them.

As expected!

Xia Mingyue's eyes, filled with anger, if looks could kill, Wang Dongliang would have already been torn apart.

"Go away!" she hissed through clenched teeth.

Hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly.

Wang Dongliang had thought his eager helpfulness would surely move Xia Mingyue, but the reality was just the opposite. From Xia Mingyue's eyes, Wang Dongliang realized he had made a mistake.

So, obediently, he moved aside, bowing and scraping—words that truly fit Wang Dongliang now.

Ye Xiao continued to support Xia Mingyue as they walked forward, while Wang Dongliang stood there confused, still not understanding what he had done wrong.

"Director Wang, it seems Mr. Xia is angry," Li Shengrong said, watching Xia Mingyue being helped away by Ye Xiao, and immediately spoke to Wang Dongliang.

Hearing Li Shengrong's words, Wang Dongliang said oddly, "What exactly happened? Why is Mr. Xia treating me like this? I was merely concerned for her, really…"

Wang Dongliang wanted to complain, but remembering he was speaking to Li Shengrong, he promptly shut his mouth.

Seeing Wang Dongliang's utterly confused expression, Li Shengrong couldn't help but secretly sneer; Wang Donglıang was genuinely clueless.

Xia Mingyue was a star at Blue Star Technology, so as soon as she was helped into the office building by Ye Xiao, she immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Ming Yue, what's wrong with you?" The elevator doors had just opened when Ye Xiao, helping Xia Mingyue out of the elevator, encountered Fang Jing, who had been waiting by the elevator doors. Seeing Xia Mingyue being supported by Ye Xiao, she was shocked beyond expression, at that moment forgetting that she should be addressing Xia Mingyue as Mr. Xia within the company.

"It's nothing, has everyone arrived?" Xia Mingyue asked, looking toward Fang Jing.

Fang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, they've been waiting for a long time. They thought you weren't coming."

"I figured as much."

Just then, someone mentioned Mr. Xia had arrived, and several senior management staff immediately came out of the meeting room. Yet, when they saw Xia Mingyue being supported by Ye Xiao, they too were shocked beyond belief.

"Mr. Xia, what happened to you?" Zhang Jiang, the first to express his concern, was visibly surprised as he spoke to Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue merely shook her head and said, "It's nothing, everyone, please head to the meeting room. We're about to start the meeting."

Xia Mingyue's expression was very serious, and upon her command, the management team of Blue Star Technology hurried into the meeting room. However, they almost all shared the same action—before leaving, they all glanced at Ye Xiao, obviously curious about this raggedly dressed man. After all, only two of them had met Ye Xiao before and did not know he was now Xia Mingyue's personal driver.

"Mr. Xia, let Assistant Fang help you in. I'll stay out here," Ye Xiao offered diplomatically.

However, Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Help me inside."

Ye Xiao paused slightly; didn't Xia Mingyue worry that a beautiful woman like her being helped by a grimy man appeared unseemly? But since Xia Mingyue insisted, Ye Xiao as her driver could only comply.

Ye Xiao was used to it by now; originally he thought that being a driver wouldn't be like being a bodyguard, which involved being both a bodyguard and a babysitter. But now, it seemed he was still on track to continue being a babysitter on the side.
