Chapter 855: Chapter 855: This Did Not Happen

Shen Yueru knew what was going on, but Liu Xiaoli and the others from the group companies were clueless.

Looking at Liu Xueying’s behavior, Shen Yueru seemed very angry.

"I don’t care! Mr. Ye said he wanted to promote me and send me to Paris for three years of training. Now you’re going back on your word? I’ve been a loyal employee for years!"

Liu Xueying kept fidgeting with exaggerated gestures, speaking in a delicate tone, making the surrounding employees shocked that Director Liu dared to talk to President Shen that way.

"Director Liu, follow me to the office to discuss this further!"

"I don’t care! I demand an explanation right now!"

Liu Xueying extended his orchid-shaped fingers, still gesturing flamboyantly as he spoke.

Shen Yueru’s face turned even colder. On her way up the elevator, she pressed the door button and stepped out with Liu Xiaoli.

When they exited, Liu Xueying chased after them again.

"President Shen, I want you to keep your word and let me study in Paris for three years!"

"Director Liu, stop saying such absurd things. Even for our other designers, the training period abroad is at most six months. You’re asking for three years—do you know how much that would cost, including paid time off? Unless we’re a government enterprise, I can’t afford someone like you."

Shen Yueru spoke coldly.

If Shen Yueru truly followed Liu Xueying’s demands, the cost of training for other designers would already amount to five or six hundred thousand for half a year, over a million for a year, and at least three million for three years. Adding the three years’ salary, which would amount to another million, would total four million for Liu Xueying.

Even Liu Xiaoli was shocked by this.

Although Ye Qiu had asked her to summon Liu Xueying upstairs, she had no clue what Ye Qiu and Liu Xueying had discussed outside.

Could it be that Ye Qiu truly agreed to send Liu Xueying abroad for three years of training?

Impossible!

Such benefits could only be afforded by major corporate enterprises.

"President Shen, but Mr. Ye promised this to me himself! If you don’t believe me, you can call him to confirm!"

"Fine! I’ll call him right now!"

Shen Yueru took out her phone and directly dialed Ye Qiu’s number. Ye Qiu picked up quickly and asked, "Hello? Yueru, what’s the matter? Missing me already?"

"Quit joking around. I have something to ask you about!"

If Shen Yueru didn’t know that Ye Qiu was acting alongside her, she might’ve believed him for a moment.

But now, she couldn’t even tell what was real anymore—maybe it really was real this time.

"What’s up, Yueru?"

"What exactly did you say to Liu Xueying this morning? He’s claiming you agreed to send him to Paris for three years of training. Do you know how expensive that would be?"

"No, that’s not true. I never said that to him. I just wanted to give him some basic guidance on his fashion design skills, that’s all!"

Shen Yueru switched on the speakerphone. Not only Liu Xueying heard the conversation clearly, but Liu Xiaoli and the passing employees caught every word as well.

"Understood!"

Shen Yueru hung up the call immediately, turned to Liu Xueying, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"You—you—he lied to me! He clearly promised me! Now he’s going back on his word? I want you to agree to this, or I quit!"

"What? You’re quitting? Quit if you want! Xingyue Group doesn’t need you. Go wherever you want!"

Shen Yueru pointed at Liu Xueying and said icily.

Typically, Shen Yueru had always been a strong and cold leader toward her subordinates, but now her scolding was enough to leave nearby employees stunned.

Liu Xueying seemed shaken, lowering his head as if deep in thought. Meanwhile, Shen Yueru added, "If you don’t want to work here, leave. I suspect you’re a spy for Qingcheng Group along with Li Yingjun!"

"What? President Shen, you suspect me of being a spy? I’ve been loyal to Xingyue Group—how could I ever do such a thing?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain the leaked design drafts?"

"It wasn’t me! It was Li Yingjun who did it!"

"Heh!"

Shen Yueru let out a cold sneer, choosing not to argue further with Liu Xueying, and left with Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli stared in amazement at what had just transpired, then turned back to look at Liu Xueying. She hadn’t expected such drastic change in behavior from both parties.

She felt as though President Shen and Liu Xueying had transformed into completely different people!

Liu Xueying, his spirits crushed, noticed the other employees staring at him and snapped in his effeminate tone, "What are you looking at?"

Liu Xueying returned to his design department office. As the department director, he was the only remaining director among the nine separate design departments.

In theory, his authority was considerable, but after Ye Qiu dismissed most of the designers, only thirty-some designers remained, split between two departments. This significantly reduced the original director’s power.

Back in his office, Liu Xueying angrily threw the cup on his desk to the ground, producing a loud "bang" that startled the other designers.

What’s gotten into Director Liu?

"That woman—she’s infuriating!"

Liu Xueying swept the books, design drafts, and drawing tools off his desk onto the floor.

The other designers were even more stunned by this sight!

Normally, Liu Xueying had a good temper and was always quiet. Despite his effeminate demeanor, he rarely quarreled, let alone caused a scene like this.

"You, come in!"

Liu Xueying stepped out and called four designers into his office.

These three designers were originally under his department and had luckily passed Ye Qiu’s exam to stay on. The remaining designer was Liu Die, who had once pursued Li Yingjun.

However, after Li Yingjun was exposed and tried to turn her into a scapegoat, Liu Die spoke very little in the company. She merely came to work and left on time.

Now she had no idea why she was being called into the office.

"Earlier this morning, Mr. Ye clearly told me he wanted to promote me, train me, and even agreed to send me to Paris for three years of study. As it turns out, he reneged this afternoon! Just now, I went to HR and Finance to apply, but they both refused, and President Shen didn’t approve either. On top of that, Mr. Ye changed his stance, so I fought with President Shen!"

The three designers hadn’t expected this situation at all.

Especially Liu Die—she didn’t believe Ye Qiu was the type of person to behave like that.

Of course, after almost being betrayed by Li Yingjun, Liu Die no longer trusted other men easily. Besides, she didn’t really know Ye Qiu personally—apart from his exceptional fashion design talent, she was clueless about him.

"Director Liu, what do you mean?"

One of the female designers asked.

"I’ve made up my mind! After this intense argument with Shen Yueru, I’m certain she won’t tolerate me anymore. I’m preparing to leave. Do you guys want to join me?"

"What? Director Liu, you’re leaving? Where will you go?"

"I’m not sure yet. However, if you come with me, it’ll boost my chances. Worst case, we’ll start our own business!"

"Well..."

The three designers hesitated. They were doing well enough at Xingyue Group, and passing Ye Qiu’s exam to stay had been no small feat. Plus, there was a chance to train abroad within the next six months—why throw all that away?
