Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 437 Heartless in a CEO Novel (17)

end of the year,

Having received a generous annual bonus and copyright fees from Shenta, Xia Youmi finally showed a genuine smile in the secretary's office. If she were truly a recent graduate just starting her career, she would probably be overwhelmed by the small, unstructured environment of a large company.

As long as An Yubei and Luo Yu fail to gain any advantage over Xia Youmi, the two will not choose to turn their guns on each other.

The New Year's Day banquet was just the beginning.

The scene where he wanted to prove his abilities to the president was ruined, and it was obvious that he couldn't compete with Xia Youmi in terms of precision and accuracy when it came to handling business.

For a time, the sense of defeat was unbearable for the proud young woman.

They noticed the obvious, magnified flaws, completely forgetting to observe who was secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes.

And so he became a pawn.

"Xia Youmi is afraid of men initiating physical contact," An Yubei concluded.

Luo Yu clearly didn't believe it; a woman with a boyfriend wouldn't say these things just to maintain a facade. But Xia Youmi had never said it to anyone and had deliberately concealed it.

Even when Manager Jin asked them to review the surveillance footage, they actually saw from a bird's-eye view that Xia Youmi would distance herself from people at certain angles, and it seemed that women, regardless of type, did not have this avoidance action.

Outside of the company, I often see my boyfriend picking me up and dropping me off.

But Yu Li's company is not far away, and Xia Youmi's address is not a secret. Her deliberately showing affection with her boyfriend is perhaps a kind of cover-up. Maybe he is the only solution.

In order to avoid being detected, and also to stay in Shenta.

This minor weakness was tested several times. An Yubei and others would have some male colleagues directly contact Xia Youmi during unimportant reports to see if she could secretly conceal her nausea.

It feels strange but also enjoyable.

Even though everyone knows they should treat their fellow human beings kindly, they still choose to vent their frustrations by harming others. In particular, when malice is hidden beneath actions, the twisted nature lurking in the shadows can make people temporarily abandon all sense of propriety.

Although Xia Youmi wasn't afraid of being targeted, after a while, being enveloped in the greasy atmosphere, she always had to take deep breaths of Nian Nian to relieve the discomfort.

Unresolved pent-up emotions lead to stagnant liver qi.

Therefore,

Xia Youmi could only work hard to entice them.

Judging from the ashen faces of An Yufei and Luo Yu after their year-end meeting with Jin Shunmei, they knew they had been criticized by their supervisor.

in case,

They still don't realize why they should gather in Shenta, and they can't wait for the female lead, Qiu Ling, to join the company.

Shao Yunshen, who gradually discovered Xia Youmi's immense value, persuaded her to leave. Jin Shunmei pointed this out in advance, also in order to protect the two of them.

If the new recruits under their command really disrupt the balance of the triangle.

The next person to be optimized is her all-around gold supervisor.

Just before the Spring Festival holiday, the targeting finally stopped.

He even awkwardly suggested inviting Xia Youmi to dinner, hoping to ease the tension between them at the table.

Unexpectedly, Xia Youmi brought Yu Li along.

Make the other person speechless.

They could only start by talking about the more positive tasks within the group, turning the apology room into a workspace, and the more they talked, the more professional and serious they became.

Every year, Xia Youmi would place her at the nearby pet park.

After returning,

Based on Xia Youmi's observations and after overhearing An Yubei and Luo Yu's private conversations every year, it can be basically concluded that they genuinely do not intend to cause any more trouble.

People only derive pleasure from objects they can manipulate. Increasing the difficulty only serves to ignite their fighting spirit. However, they will easily give up when they encounter something they can't change at all.

This is the kind of friendly signal that a clear-headed and highly educated woman would naturally send out.

If Xia Youmi weren't afraid of being replaced as the female lead and accepting the original rules that led to increased hostility from the women around her, thus causing a different trajectory to fall on her as well, such as a domineering CEO pampering her or running away with a baby.

Xia Youmi would never go against the two of them like that, choosing the most tiring way for herself and then trying to comfort them.

Fortunately,

So far, it appears to be very effective.

......

The first thing I did after starting work was to go on a business trip with my boss, even before the Lantern Festival.

The location is Baoshi, which is next door.

Xia Youmi searched for information and found that the local power in Baoshi was the Bao family, whose main business was jewelry. At present, the emerging industry was mainly Baoqing Group, which made her feel uneasy.

In addition, after the apology dinner, An Yubei took the initiative to share inside information about the Bao family.

Currently, Bao Yiyi, the head of the Bao family, and his only daughter, Bao Duo, have both died in car accidents. All of Bao Yiyi's businesses, except those distributed to the Bao family elders, have been left to his daughter.

Bao Duo has no children, and all her assets and shares are tied to her husband, Mu Yongqing.

Even though she didn't participate much in the management of Baoqing Group before, Mu handled everything.

But all that cash flowed into Mu Yongqing's assets, leaving many resentful. The power dynamics in Bao City were being reshuffled. Some protected Mu Yongqing, some snatched what he couldn't care less about, and many others were waiting to reap the rewards left after the fighting.

Now that Shao Yunshen is on a business trip to Baoshi at this juncture, it's impossible to say they're unrelated.

I'm afraid,

Many other forces rushed to the scene, and even if they were well-intentioned and only offering help in times of need, it was still just a business transaction in the business world.

Shao Yunshen estimates that it belongs to the latter category.

Previously, he needed Bao Qing's contract to secure his position, but now he's willing to lend a helping hand. At least once successful, Mu Yongqing will open doors of convenience for Shenta.

Even industries that are not completely overlapping can still generate substantial profits.

foreign,

Mu Yongqing's image and news are all about how heartbroken he was, as well as a social review of the lives of Bao Yi and her father, the Bao family's rise to wealth, and positive and negative news.

News of celebrities from all walks of life offering their condolences also dominated the headlines.

Mu Yongqing and Baoqing Group were discreetly hidden within, and only those who knew about his internal operations had a chance to participate.

On Shao Yunshen's side, in addition to the advance team, he also brought three new secretaries: Jin Shunmei, who was the secretary in a de facto sense, Lin Zhu and two assistants who had been following him all along, as well as a legal team.

The scale of the event was extraordinary, but the venue was very crowded.

The high-end hotels in Baoshi are concentrated in the industrial park, which outsiders have no chance to enter, but those inside are not necessarily living a good life either.

That feeling of being in a foreign land seemed to be completely stripped away.

Their location was under constant surveillance, with tall bodyguards stationed every three steps, and everyone was subjected to careful scrutiny. Anything brought along, except for those deemed acceptable, was confiscated.

Xia Youmi only just discovered this extra information about Mu Yongqing's former in-laws, the Bao family, and how they went from being black to white.

Even though they were so white that they couldn't be painted black again, they couldn't bear to part with those gray gloves.

It is a form of weaponry, and also a silent deterrent.

Men, women, young and old, all in the Baoqing headquarters park are in a "quail" shape.

Even,

When the male lead, Shao Yunshen, met Mu Yongqing, the latter appeared extremely haggard, grieving and overwhelmed with filial piety. It was difficult to tell whether he was a devoted son or simply a master of acting.

And that slightly hunched back made Shao Yunshen unable to bear standing up straight to speak.

The two greeted each other while displaying their grief. Only when they were out of sight of outsiders and returned to what seemed to be Mu Yongqing's private space did he gradually calm down.

The assistant and lawyer went down to handle the business one after another.

Mu Yongqing's deeply sorrowful face, still mourning his deceased wife, turned to the secretary present. His gaze swept over Xia Youmi, An Yubei, and Luo Yu, seemingly admiring Shao Yunshen's good fortune.

He suddenly gained three such capable assistants.

Embarrassed, Kim Soon-mi left the room, leaving behind her three secretaries and Shao Yunshen waiting for a reply.

and,

At that moment when only these five people were in the room.

Mu Yongqing seemed to have changed his demeanor again. He stopped looking around and fixed his gaze on Xia Youmi.

He said something that left people wondering, "I've met this girl before. Come to think of it, President Shao is really something, managing to snatch her up in Shenta ahead of time. I wonder if it would be convenient for him to part with her and give her to me... Baoqing."

"Mr. Mu, what do you mean?" Shao Yunshen was momentarily taken aback by the sudden change in his mind.

"Haha! I'm just marveling at the wonder of fate!" Mu Yongqing said meaningfully, "President Shao, what do you say? Would you be willing to change the person?"

"Mr. Mu, this is Miss Xia's personal matter, and it should be done according to her wishes!"

"Huh? Shouldn't it be a matter of just one word from President Shao?" Mu Yongqing showed an exaggerated surprise. "I thought it was because you were so charming that if you didn't return the person after you lured them away, outsiders wouldn't have a chance."

Dead silence.

"Ah!"

Surprisingly, it was Luo Yu who lost his composure first.

But realizing the situation, she could only let out a snort, lacking any real force, and her cold gaze drifted out the window.

Xia Youmi didn't react, wearing a standard fake smile with a subtle curve.

In an atmosphere where Mu Yongqing was jokingly testing his partner, Shao Yunshen chose to refuse outright. His unwavering protectiveness moved the three people present.

Except for Xia Youmi.
