After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao immediately removed the U-disk from Li Shengrong's computer and walked straight out of the room.

When Ye Xiao walked out of the room, everyone outside was focused on their own tasks. Li Shengrong, holding a newspaper, seemed uncertain if he was concentrating, but upon seeing Ye Xiao come out, he promptly stood up with a big smile, walked over to Ye Xiao, and said with a laugh, "Mr. Ye, how's it going? All good?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Li Shengrong and said softly, "Copy a version for me."

Li Shengrong chuckled and quickly replied, "No problem."

Looking at the mischievous grin on Li Shengrong's face, Ye Xiao felt like a kid being led astray by a naughty uncle.

Leaving the logistics department, Ye Xiao thought for a moment and decided to report to Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing first, otherwise, they might think he's slacking off again.

However, halfway there, someone called out to him from behind.

"Mr. Ye!"

Ye Xiao quickly turned his head to look, secretly laughing inside.

It was Yang Liufei.

"Oh, it's Mr. Yang. I heard you waited quite a while for me, really sorry about that. I just got back not too long ago," Ye Xiao said with a smile to Yang Liufei.

Yang Liufei looked at Ye Xiao, walked up and chuckled awkwardly a couple of times, saying, "Mr. Ye, I have something to discuss with you. I'm not sure if you have time now?"

"Well..." Ye Xiao deliberately hesitated and said, "To be honest, there's a girl waiting for me at the university entrance right now, so..."

"Oh, really!" Upon hearing this, Yang Liufei looked a bit disappointed and said, "Then... when will Mr. Ye be back? I can wait here for a while."

At this moment, Yang Liufei was extremely sincere towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled lightly and said, "That I can't guarantee. How about this, since the girl is at Xuan University anyway, I'll say there was a traffic jam on the way. If there's something, Mr. Yang can speak now, but let's keep it short; you know, at my age, work isn't the priority. Finding a girlfriend is what's really important."

"Yes, yes," Yang Liufei quickly said, "I truly feel bad interrupting your personal matters, Mr. Ye, but I really have some urgent things. Please bear with me."

Ye Xiao said, "Then go ahead."

Yang Liufei glanced around and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's find a quieter place. How about going to Mr. Ye's office? I'm sure no one would dare disturb us there."

Upon hearing Yang Liufei's suggestion, Ye Xiao immediately smiled wryly.

"My office?" Ye Xiao said, "Mr. Yang, are you joking? Although I hold the title of deputy general manager, I don't actually have an office yet. I'm working on it, and hopefully will have one soon."

"Huh?" Yang Liufei felt a bit awkward and apologized repeatedly.

Ye Xiao said, "No problem, it's just the truth. How about this, everyone should be getting ready for some food now, let's head to the tea room, I'm sure there won't be many people there."

Yang Liufei nodded repeatedly.

Then, Ye Xiao and Yang Liufei went to the tea room, which was indeed empty at the moment.

Ye Xiao found a disposable tea cup, poured some hot water, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, just speak freely."

Yang Liufei gave an awkward smile, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Ye, first I apologize on behalf of Mr. He."

"Mr. He?" Ye Xiao immediately said with a cheerful smile, holding the hot water he'd poured, and walked over to Yang Liufei, handing it to him, "Which Mr. He? I don't recognize him?"

Yang Liufei quickly said, "It's He Huawei."

"Oh, so that's Mr. He. He's the top dog at your company, and I'm just the deputy at Blue Star Technology Company, his level is much higher than mine," Ye Xiao quipped.

"No, no, we're from different companies, there's no comparison. Mr. Ye, despite your young age, you're already a deputy general manager at a company, your future is naturally bright. I know Huawei did some things that upset Blue Star Technology Company, but still, I hope your company can let bygones be bygones..." Yang Liufei said this until he realized he might have said too much and stopped.

Ye Xiao turned to the tea station, poured himself a cup of hot water, blew the steam, and said with a smile, "Drinking more hot water in winter is good for the body."

Yang Liufei could clearly see that Ye Xiao had some opinions, so he quickly said, "Yes, there are benefits. Huawei grew up in a wealthy family, so he developed some bad habits. Mr. Ye, please forgive him this time. Believe me, Huawei won't dare have a next time."

"Mr. Yang, I don't quite understand what you're saying. You know, your company's Mr. He has broken the law. Our Yan Country is a nation with strict laws. Besides, what power do I, Ye Xiao, have to command those officials? So, although I really want to help, I truly feel a bit powerless." Ye Xiao shrugged helplessly.

Yang Liufei wasn't a fool. Since Ye Xiao mentioned earlier that the legal affairs of Blue Star Technology Company are under his purview, this was a wake-up call for Yang Liufei. Now, Ye Xiao's obvious dissatisfaction with their sincerity showed.

At this moment, Ye Xiao took out his phone to check the time, deliberately expressing surprise: "Oh, I'm really sorry, it's getting late."

Seeing Ye Xiao seemingly about to leave, Yang Liufei immediately said, "Mr. Ye."

Ye Xiao looked at Yang Liufei and said with a smile, "What? If I don't promise something, Mr. Yang, are you not going to let me leave?"

"No, no," Yang Liufei quickly responded, "Mr. Ye misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just have something on my mind that I want to share with you."

Hearing that Yang Liufei wanted to share something personal, Ye Xiao was curious and wanted to see what Yang Liufei had to say.

Ye Xiao placed his water cup down, didn't look at Yang Liufei, and instead stood in front of the mirror in the pantry, seemingly tidying up his clothes, and said, "Mr. Yang, feel free to speak your mind. I'm a straightforward person, so if I say something that displeases you, I ask for your understanding."

"Mr. Ye, you're joking, nothing you said would make me unhappy." Yang Liufei looked at Ye Xiao with some tension. The more indifferent Ye Xiao seemed, the more anxious he became. After all, He Huawei was still in the holding cell.

"Mr. Ye, the plan Huawei obtained is indeed important, but whether it constitutes stealing commercial secrets isn't clearly defined. However, even so, Huawei deeply regrets this incident. I mean, I hope Mr. Ye won't pursue it further. Besides, we won't reveal or use the contents of that plan. This way, it won't cause any commercial loss to Blue Star Technology Company," Yang Liufei said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao knew Yang Liufei would say that. Indeed, the importance of that plan could be large or small. If He Huawei and his team didn't disclose or use it, there wouldn't be any loss to Blue Star Technology Company.

"Hehe, Mr. Yang sure knows the gaming industry inside out. But that was a master plan, filled with countless innovative ideas. Any one of those ideas could bring substantial profits to Blue Star Technology Company. Merely on Mr. Yang's word that it won't be disclosed, Blue Star Technology Company stops pursuing it? Isn't that somewhat unrealistic? What you said is mostly correct, but you missed a point: whether it constitutes stealing commercial secrets still needs judicial investigation. Actually, why not wait for the judicial investigation to conclude, then we can talk further. I believe by then we'll all have different attitudes," Ye Xiao said, smiling.

"Mr. Ye, does it really have to be this stiff?" Yang Liufei couldn't hold back. It wasn't He Huawei or his family who sent him, but as a friend and subordinate of He Huawei, Yang Liufei wanted to help.

Ye Xiao turned his head, his gaze falling on Yang Liufei, and said, "It's not that I want to make it this stiff. It's that I hope He Huawei realizes that while he may have initiated the game, he doesn't necessarily get to decide how it ends. Mr. Yang, apologies for the time, I must go now."

Ye Xiao finished speaking and swiftly left the pantry with a smile.

"Ye…" Yang Liufei wanted to say more, but by then, Ye Xiao was already far gone.

Ye Xiao left the pantry with a smile on his face. He truly regretted it; it wasn't the right time to talk with Yang Liufei. He should have waited until the Guard Bureau was stricter with He Huawei before agreeing to the conversation with Yang Liufei.

Soon, Ye Xiao arrived at Xia Mingyue's office, where Fang Jing was also present.

"Here to ask for leave?"

As Ye Xiao walked into the general manager's office, Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "No wonder you're the personal assistant, you're smart."

"Ye Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about? You're the personal assistant." Fang Jing glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao continued chuckling and said, "It doesn't matter whose personal assistant is whose as long as it's close enough."

Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao's mischievous smile, clearly annoyed.

"Can you two stop showing off your affection in front of me? Ye Xiao, Coco just called me. You should go; she said she had a nightmare. You need to comfort her," Xia Mingyue said.

"Who's showing affection with him?" Fang Jing immediately declared loudly to Xia Mingyue's words.

Ye Xiao then laughed loudly and said, "Alright, I'm off. Call if you need anything, and take care of my personal assistant."

"Who's your personal assistant? Get going," Fang Jing said angrily.

Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "Alright, alright. These days the bosses listen to their assistants; it's the trend."

"Go to hell!"
