Chapter 21 - 21 0021 Tit for Tat
?21: Chapter 0021: Tit for Tat 21: Chapter 0021: Tit for Tat The employees of Huangtu Group, upon seeing Ye Xunhuan sitting with Tang Yurou and Qiu Ruoxi, were filled with envy, jealousy, and hate on their faces.
One was the civilian goddess of Huangtu Group, the other the dream goddess in the hearts of all men in Jiang City.
Everyone wanted to court these two women, but although Tang Yurou seemed delicate, she had her own principles.
And Qiu Ruoxi?
Her presence was too overpowering.
Ordinary people couldn’t handle it, and it would take courage to even consider courting her.
Now Ye Xunhuan was sitting in front of these two goddesses—how could they not be envious and jealous?
After sitting down with Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi slowly opened her mouth and said, “Today’s incident didn’t scare you, did it?”
“No…no!” Tang Yurou said, albeit not very convincingly.
Although Tang Yurou said no, how could Qiu Ruoxi, who had long developed a pair of insightful eyes, not see that Tang Yurou was lying!
After all, Kang Huaiyuan had tried to assault her, and had it not been for Ye Xunhuan, Tang Yurou might have already suffered a terrible fate.
“I deeply apologize for this,” Qiu Ruoxi said sincerely, “I hope it hasn’t caused you great psychological harm, otherwise it would be my fault!”
“I’m okay, thanks to Xunhuan, otherwise I…”
Tang Yurou didn’t continue, but the implication was clear.
Hearing Tang Yurou calling Ye Xunhuan so intimately, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but snort coldly in her heart.
She really hadn’t expected this bastard’s flirting skills to be so swift, managing to get Tang Yurou to drop his surname and call him just by his first name so quickly.
But thinking about it, it was expected.
Heroism usually won over the favor of women.
Throughout history, there have been countless tales of heroes saving the beauty, and the beauty pledging herself in return.
Judging by Tang Yurou’s behavior, it seemed she might be ready to do just the same.
“Indeed, if it weren’t for him, the consequences would have been unthinkable,” Qiu Ruoxi said seriously.
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan felt elated, thinking that his nominal wife had finally said something humane.
But then Qiu Ruoxi’s tone suddenly changed, almost causing Ye Xunhuan to spit blood.
“You ought to be grateful, but be careful too; someone might be even more disgusting than Kang Huaiyuan,” Qiu Ruoxi said with veiled criticism.
“As the saying goes, ‘It’s hard to draw a tiger’s bones though its skin can be drawn; people’s hearts are inscrutable.’ For a girl, it’s always good to stay vigilant and not to be deceived by someone’s appearance!”
How could Ye Xunhuan fail to notice that Qiu Ruoxi was clearly implying something about him, and he involuntarily twitched the corner of his mouth in annoyance.
Fuck, this woman dared to slander me to my face.
Do you really think I can’t do anything to you just because you’re my wife?
Ye Xunhuan sneered inwardly, “That’s right, Yu Rou, in this day and age you really do need to be careful who you trust.
Don’t be so grateful just because someone offers you a little benefit; you might be led to think you’ve made it big.”
“But isn’t this what you deserve?” Ye Xunhuan said with a curled lip.
“If it weren’t for someone’s fixation on money over character, how could a bug have entered here and harmed you?”
After speaking, Ye Xunhuan hummed to himself, “I know how to hint with subtlety too, and I do it even more accurately and obviously than you.”
No sooner had Ye Xunhuan finished speaking than Qiu Ruoxi’s bright eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light, aimed directly at Ye Xunhuan.
The chill emanating from those autumnal eyes was like a sharp ice knife, as if to pierce through Ye Xunhuan’s body.
If it were any other employee of Huangtu Group facing Qiu Ruoxi’s knife-like gaze, they would undoubtedly be scared witless, breaking out in a cold sweat.
But Ye Xunhuan, far from being intimidated, met her gaze head-on, not only unafraid of the chill in Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes but even with a hint of provocation.
Although Tang Yurou was somewhat cute, she wasn’t foolish; she could tell at a glance that there was a sort of confrontation between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.
These two…
Meanwhile, Tang Yurou started to feel somewhat uneasy at this moment.
Who is Qiu Ruoxi?
This is the super BOSS of Huangtu Corporation, holding absolute control over the corporation and the fates of all its employees.
If you anger her, this ruthless woman could easily throw you out of Huangtu Corporation with a single slap.
“President…”
After hearing Tang Yurou’s words, Qiu Ruoxi glared fiercely at Ye Xunhuan, “Director Tang, if there’s anything you can’t solve at work in the future, feel free to come to me, or you can always go to President Qin!”
“Of course, if anyone dares to harbor ill intentions against you, tell me, and I’ll help you break his third leg!”
With that, Qiu Ruoxi coldly glanced at Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched fiercely.
Damn, my little brother hasn’t offended you, has it?
Besides, if you dare break my little brother, aren’t you afraid of becoming a widow for the rest of your life, having to buy cucumbers every day?
Aren’t you afraid of hormonal imbalances?
“Ah!”
Tang Yurou was stunned.
Is this still the president she knew?
How could she say such a thing?
Then, Qiu Ruoxi continued, “The supervision department is short-staffed, you can recruit from society or internally.
After you have drawn up a list, bring it to me.
After my review, I’ll send the personnel over to you directly.”
As soon as her words ended, Qiu Ruoxi stopped eating, stood up, and walked away.
Although other employees of Huangtu Corporation in the restaurant didn’t know what had happened between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, judging by Qiu Ruoxi’s expression, it must have been Ye Xunhuan who had offended her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have left without finishing her meal.
Instantly, everyone felt Ye Xunhuan had reached an incredible level of coolness, and they admired him in their hearts.
Although Ye Xunhuan had just arrived at Huangtu Corporation, not even a day had passed, yet his name had spread throughout the corporation.
Even though no one had seen Ye Xunhuan, they knew that the man who walked with Tang Yurou had to be Ye Xunhuan.
Now that Ye Xunhuan had angered their big BOSS, how could they not admire him?
“You… how could you offend the president?” Tang Yurou said with some worry and panic, “If the president fires you, then you…”
Looking at Tang Yurou’s anxious appearance, Ye Xunhuan smiled lightly and playfully said, “Are you worried about me?”
Surprised by Ye Xunhuan’s question, Tang Yurou’s heart began to pound chaotically all of a sudden, as if a little deer was crashing around in her chest, throwing her into confusion.
Ye Xunhuan caught the subtle changes on Tang Yurou’s face, and the smile on his lips grew even thicker, “Don’t worry, if I gave that old lady ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare to fire me!”
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan stretched out his right hand and casually placed it on Tang Yurou’s shoulder, looking very intimate.
The diners in the restaurant, seeing this scene, glared with envy, and clenched their fists at that moment, as if Ye Xunhuan had touched their most precious possession, each of them wishing they could tear him apart!
