Chapter 419: Chapter 419: The American Tiger Eyeing the Crocodile (10)

The immediate onset of a major conflict put everyone in the company on edge, with some even contemplating jumping ship if they had bet on the wrong side. Of course, there were those who were not willing to be left behind.

Then there were people like Sister Yao and Fang Yongxing, who had been recuperating in the hospital, staying calm as if nothing had happened, focusing only on their duties without the intention to enter the fray.

In the new office area arranged for Xiao Yebai in the company, it seemed like a modest place but was actually only for four people to work in, which made expansive space redundant. The only merit was its secluded location, ensuring high privacy. From this, it was clear that Xiao Jianming was really good to his son.

Gu Nuan placed her stationery box on the desk.

Zhong Qiaohui wandered around and came back saying, "It’s quiet here. The nearest, the office closest to us is separated by a corridor, over two hundred meters away."

Gu Nuan looked at her watch, "Clean it up a bit, then have lunch, that should be just about right."

Zhong Qiaohui laughed upon hearing this, "Why do I feel like you’re acting like a housewife?"

A married woman with a pale face after all. Besides, her husband at home, Yebai, was famous for his peculiarity about cleanliness.

Time flew quickly, and around 1:30 in the afternoon, Fu Yubo, who had been hospitalized for a while, took the company’s car back to the office directly after being discharged from the hospital.

Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui stood at the main entrance to welcome him.

Fu Yubo, after a period in the hospital, did not seem to have lost weight but had instead gained some.

It was clear, as the incident involved Chen Jiaming’s reputation, under Chen Family’s special orders, Mingxin Hospital did not dare neglect him. Good medicine and nourishment were all provided to him.

Even so, having been seriously ill, Fu Yubo had changed. From being slightly serious and rigid before, he was now profoundly solemn, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Gu Nuan seemed to deeply empathize with his pain, she had gone through similar experiences herself.

Zhong Qiaohui considerately went up and took the simple package he carried and said, "Manager Fu, actually, if you had rested a few more days at home, CEO Xiao wouldn’t have minded, right, Gu Nuan?"

Her husband Yebai, at home, was indeed the sort who didn’t mind carefree. Gu Nuan nodded.

Fu Yubo’s gaze merely fell quietly as he spoke indifferently, "Given that CEO Xiao values me, it would be foolish of me not to appreciate it."

Zhong Qiaohui and Gu Nuan could clearly detect the complexity in his tone, thinking to themselves that this illness had truly frightened him severely; he could only slowly digest this fact.

The three of them entered the small office and quietly waited for the boss to arrive.

It was said that Xiao Yebai drove to the company just after Fu Yubo had arrived.

According to Zang Xiaolian, he wasn’t rushing for a meeting, but rather rushing to see his wife.

Soon, Fu Yubo and Zhong Qiaohui finally saw the infamous prodigal son of the chairman.

Today, Xiao Yebai had dressed like Chen Jiaming, in a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes. The only difference was that his temperament and behavior, which were starkly different from Chen Jiaming’s regular demeanor, were transparently feigned.

"All so early, no need for a nap? Rushing to prevent your boss from napping?" Xiao Yebai just so remarked upon entering the office.

Inside the meeting room, aside from Gu Nuan who was accustomed to his ways, the other two were naturally stunned.

Zhong Qiaohui quickly stood up to clarify, "No, not—"

Xiao Yebai directly pulled out a chair and sat down, noticed Fu Yubo standing up too and shook his head, "What? Everyone likes standing more than sitting? I prefer sitting over standing."

Zhong Qiaohui and Fu Yubo had no choice but to sit back down with a thud.

Gu Nuan could clearly see the nerves and tension flash across their faces.

Speaking of which, even Chen Jiaming, who was a strict man, couldn’t make these two react so fearfully in an instant. It had to be said that this irresponsible prodigal man actually had a lot of mettle.

Quickly, Zhong Qiaohui also realized this and whispered to Gu Nuan beside her, "Is your husband also like this at home?"

"You’re asking how I am with my wife at home?"

The big white dog’s ears were very sharp when it came to his wife.

Zhong Qiaohui quickly turned back, saying, "I’m sorry, CEO Xiao, that’s not—"

"Just ask directly. What’s between me and my wife is completely open and honest, not some unspeakable secret. We are so loving and close—I know everything about her, even her measurements," Yebai boasted.

Gu Nuan really wanted to rush over and gag big white dog’s mouth with a cloth strip.

Zhong Qiaohui couldn’t help giggling lightly.

Fu Yubo couldn’t help but smile.

Slap.

The sound of a pen being thrown onto a folder.

The three people inside the room heard this sound and looked up only to see the man who had seemed carelessly laid-back in his chair had suddenly changed demeanors.

Zhong Qiaohui’s heart raced violently, deeply feeling that this man’s eyes, compared to Chen Jiaming’s, were not even in the same league.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, indeed resembling an American Tiger who had been lurking by the edge of the Crocodile Pond, watching all the crocodiles intently.
