Ye Xiao assisted Xia Mingyue, walking slowly into the conference room. This time was different from the last; the room was solemn, clearly indicating a meeting of great company importance today.

Fang Jing followed Ye Xiao and Xia Mingyue at a leisurely pace.

As Xia Mingyue entered, the initially low murmurs in the conference room ceased completely.

However, at that moment, all eyes were fixed on Ye Xiao, clearly wondering who he was and what his relationship with Xia Mingyue was.

In the workplace, as in the imperial court, the boss is the Emperor!

Anyone on good terms with the boss was certainly no ordinary person!

"Everyone is curious about who this person beside me is, aren't you?" Xia Mingyue's gaze, sharp as a knife, quickly swept across the room.

At that time, most of the people in the room were individuals newly promoted by Xia Mingyue, especially Liuu Yang and Zhang Jiang, who had been elevated to significant positions at Blue Star Technology by her.

Take Liuu Yang, for instance, who headed the gaming department, one of the critical lifelines of Blue Star Technology. Having been personally promoted by Xia Mingyue, he naturally felt superior. Therefore, when Xia Mingyue posed the question, while others dared not speak, Liuu Yang chuckled and said to her, "Mr. Xia, I saw this person yesterday. Who is he? Is he also from our company?"

Xia Mingyue's gaze slowly focused on Liuu Yang. That look made Liuu Yang suddenly feel a chill down his spine; he did not know what had happened or if Xia Mingyue was angry or amused at that moment.

"Director Liuu, instead of wasting your energy on such trivial matters, I think you should focus on going home, getting married, and having children!" Xia Mingyue's words cut across Liuu Yang's face, leaving no room for face-saving.

Liuu Yang was stunned. He had never expected that as one of the directors of Blue Star Technology, Xia Mingyue would humiliate him in front of so many people, and her words were particularly harsh.

Xia Mingyue then looked at the other people, her expression seemingly calm, but her aura, commanding quiet respect, silenced everyone.

"Is anyone else curious?" Xia Mingyue asked again.

At that moment, who would dare to speak? Xia Mingyue's statement to Liuu Yang had made it clear that if he was always curious about this and that, there were many others willing to take his place as director.

About ten seconds later, the room remained so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Only then did Xia Mingyue slowly say, "Human Resources!"

Hearing her words, Director Liang Li of Human Resources instantly stood up, a woman in her thirties, of average appearance, looking tense.

"Tell them who this is!" Xia Mingyue ordered.

Liang Li quickly responded, "Ye Xiao, currently serving as Mr. Xia's driver, belongs to the logistics department, officially started yesterday afternoon."

After Liang Li finished speaking, Xia Mingyue gestured for her to sit down, then spoke again, "Finance!"

"Mr. Xia!" The finance director looked toward Xia Mingyue, equally tense.

"His probationary period salary is two thousand per month, equalizing with regular employees after the probation ends," Xia Mingyue declared.

The finance director, upon hearing Xia Mingyue's statement, hesitantly said, "Mr. Xia, isn't our probationary salary usually..."

"Two thousand!" Xia Mingyue cut off the finance director.

"Yes, Mr. Xia!"

"Does anyone have objections to my decisions?" Xia Mingyue asked.

At that moment, who would dare object? Xia Mingyue had complete control over Blue Star Technology, holding the power of life and death at a moment's thought.

By her side, Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue's decisions, inwardly smiling bitterly. Xia Mingyue was indeed assertive, capable, and attractive.

Is this the legendary powerful woman?

But how many strong women possess beauty that surpasses celebrities?

Clearly, Xia Mingyue was a rare gem, embodying wisdom, determination, beauty, and grace, a true goddess in modern terms.

A goddess, indeed!

"You may go now, head to logistics to get a uniform," Xia Mingyue said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded respectfully, responding, "Yes, Mr. Xia!"

Since Xia Mingyue chose to maintain an image of absolute authority before her subordinates, Ye Xiao naturally played along.

Thus, he left the conference room, with no one daring to look at him.

Xia Mingyue reveled in this feeling of control.

However, once Ye Xiao had stepped out of the conference room, he disagreed with Xia Mingyue's management style. While her approach ensured subordinates did not dare disobey, it also fostered a culture where employees were angry but dared not speak out, a clearly undesirable outcome.

Nonetheless, as this was not Ye Xiao's company, and its profits or losses did not concern him in the least, his current task was simply to go to the logistics department to get a uniform.

Ye Xiao intended to use the elevator initially, but then thought, why bother? Opting to take the stairs instead, he considered it a good physical exercise.

Ye Xiao walked down the stairs while pulling out his cell phone. At that moment, he remembered something—what had happened at Hongxing Automobile City. He wondered if Zheng Lingshan had been harassed by that scoundrel Yang Hangtian. Setting aside whether Yang Hangtian would make a retaliatory move, if he indeed did, it would still involve Ye Xiao. Moreover, Ye Xiao had mentioned calling Liuu Erkui yesterday, but he had forgotten due to some other matters.

Ye Xiao fumbled in his pocket for the business card Liuu Erkui had given him. The name on the card read Liuu Shui.

However, after he dialed the number, there was no answer, and it just kept ringing. After calling twice without a response, Ye Xiao thought maybe the guy wasn't near his phone, so he sent Liuu Erkui a message to let him know it was his number.

Regardless of whether Liuu Erkui would call him back, at least he had done what he needed to do. If everything was peaceful over there, that would be even better.

Shortly thereafter, Ye Xiao arrived at the logistics department.

At that moment, Dongliang sat at the logistics department's desk, his face twisted in annoyance. He still couldn't understand why Xia Mingyue had yelled at him earlier. Was it because his service wasn't satisfactory enough?

"Director Wang!"

Dongliang jumped when someone suddenly called him. He cursed instinctively, "Who the fu... Ah, Ye Xiao!"

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, his rage dissipated entirely. He really didn't dare to lash out at Ye Xiao. Although Ye Xiao was one of his logistics staff, the way Ye Xiao had been walking so close to Xia Mingyue earlier was indicative of something more, so Dongliang knew he could flaunt his authority with other staff, but not with Ye Xiao. In fact, he had to be all smiles around him.

"Director Wang, I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you cursing me?" asked Ye Xiao with a frown.

Hearing this, Dongliang quickly replied, "Oh, Ye Xiao, you've got me all wrong. I regard you as a brother. How could I curse you? I was cursing Yan Luo. That guy slacks off every day. You wanted to see me about something, didn't you?"

Ye Xiao chuckled inwardly. Yan Luo wasn't even there. How could he curse someone who wasn't present?

Hearing Dongliang mention this, Ye Xiao immediately said, "Mr. Xia asked me to come and get a set of work clothes."

"Oh, no problem, I have a set right here. You can take it. I've tried it on. It's a bit tight on me, but it should fit you just right," Dongliang said with a chuckle.

Ye Xiao took it indifferently and replied, "Thanks."

"Ye Xiao, where are you going?" Dongliang asked, noticing Ye Xiao seemed about to leave.

"To find a place to change. My clothes are too dirty, I might be mistaken for a beggar."

"Why not use my room? You can even take a shower there," Dongliang said with a smile. "It was set up by Li Shengrong, quite convenient."

"Thanks a lot."

Ye Xiao indeed needed a shower, so the timing was perfect.

After taking his shower, Ye Xiao changed into the meticulously chosen work clothes.

The uniform was a modified version of casual formal wear, more casual than formal but more precise than regular casual wear. It was pretty nice and could also pass for everyday wear, especially since it was black and easy to match with other clothing.

However, right after he finished his shower, his phone suddenly rang.

What was Xia Mingyue up to now? Ye Xiao frowned, wondering if the lady had somehow seen him fresh out of the shower.

Grabbing his phone, Ye Xiao quickly answered, "Mr. Xia, what's up!"

But then, a man's voice came through the phone.

"I'm not Mr. Xia, I'm Liuu Erkui!" said the person on the line slowly.

Ye Xiao then remembered that he had indeed sent a text message to Liuu Erkui, and immediately laughed, "Er Kui, this is my number? By the way, Yang Hangtian didn't show up looking for trouble, did he?"

"He did!" replied Liuu Erkui.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao frowned—he had suspected as much, but had hoped it wasn't true.

Ye Xiao asked, "When did he show up? Nothing serious happened, right?"

"Uh, no... nothing serious!" Liuu Erkui said, somewhat evasively.

Ye Xiao, ever perceptive, could tell from Liuu Erkui's tone there was definitely something amiss.

"What exactly happened?" Ye Xiao demanded.

Liuu Erkui said, "Shanshan is fine."

Shanshan is fine!

What did that mean?

Ye Xiao thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Er Kui, where are you right now?"

"I..." Liuu Erkui fell silent.

"Speak up. Don't make me castrate you," joked Ye Xiao half-seriously.

After hesitating, Liuu Erkui finally said, "I'm at the hospital."

Hearing Liuu Erkui's words, Ye Xiao's brows knitted together, and he said sternly, "Tell me, what exactly happened!"
