Chapter 120: Chapter 120

She seduced Seventh Master Xiao? When did I ever seduce Seventh Master Xiao?

Seeing her denial, Ye Tong grew even more aggravated. "I’ve never seen a woman as hypocritical as you! What now, you want to snitch, don’t you?"

Thinking about how miserably she and Xiao Shuo had suffered because of Ye Yuning’s snitching, Ye Tong ground her teeth. I wish I could just rip that hypocritical mask right off her face!

Watching Ye Tong bare her teeth, Ye Yuning completely lost her patience. Just moments ago, Xiao Shuo had cornered her, accusing her of snitching, and now Ye Tong was doing the same. Day after day... do these people have something wrong with their brains?

Facing Ye Tong’s direct and blunt humiliation, Ye Yuning wasn’t one to be trifled with. "So what if I report people? You lot are incompetent and pester me daily, yet you’re afraid I’ll report you?"

"You..." Ye Tong began, but Ye Yuning cut her off. "If you don’t leave right now, believe it or not, I’ll report you too!"

"Shut up! Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you have some private connection with Seventh Master Xiao."

"That’s right! So what if I do have a private connection with Seventh Master Xiao? You’re not leaving, are you? Fine, I’ll call him right now." As she spoke, Ye Yuning made a show of pulling out her phone.

Ye Tong, whose initial arrogance vanished at the sight of Ye Yuning’s shamelessness, shot up from her seat in fury. "Alright, you! Such a sore loser, aren’t you?" She’s really going to snitch!

"Are you leaving or not?" Ye Yuning asked coolly.

"You just wait!" Ye Tong shot her a fierce glare. Afraid that Ye Yuning, if pushed too far, would actually call Seventh Master Xiao, she reluctantly turned and left.

Reaching the door, Ye Tong seemed to remember something. She spun around and glared fiercely at Ye Yuning. "Remember, you said you wouldn’t try to steal the Nanjia Peak project! I hope you have some decency and stick to your word!" Ye Tong was, after all, still worried about losing the Nanjia Peak project.

"Don’t worry, I won’t steal it!" Ye Yuning replied. Besides, she won’t last long anyway. Lei An and I have already figured out which project she plagiarized. When those design drafts come out, she’ll learn the true consequences of shamelessness.

Hearing this, Ye Tong didn’t press further. With a cold snort, she slammed the door and left.

Ye Yuning also stood up. "How utterly ridiculous!" Me, have a private connection with Seventh Master Xiao? If I had a private connection with that pervert, would the Xiao Corporation’s project even be mine to handle? Dealing with brainless fools is exhausting.

HISS! The movement aggravated the wound on her knee, making her suck in a sharp breath from the pain.

When Chen Wei came in, she found Ye Yuning wincing in pain. She quickly rushed over to support her. "Why didn’t your husband drive you to work today? How did you end up falling like this?"

Mentioning Xiao Linye was the last thing she needed. Speaking of Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning felt like she must have offended some deity today. Her morning had been one disaster after another: Xiao Linye had gotten angry for some unknown reason, and then Ye Tong and Xiao Shuo had relentlessly troubled her.

Seeing Ye Yuning’s indignant expression as she spoke about her husband, Chen Wei raised an eyebrow. "Did you two argue?"

"No!" If we had actually argued, that would be one thing. But he just got angry for no reason... Ugh, it’s so frustrating!

Ye Yuning didn’t want to dwell on these vexing matters any longer. She quickly returned to her office and threw herself into her work. Even without the Xiao Corporation’s business, she had recently landed several large contracts. Once she got busy, all those troublesome thoughts were pushed to the back of her mind.

When Ye Tong returned to her upstairs studio and saw only a few scattered individuals, her anger flared up again. They’re both studios, but Ye Yuning’s office was teeming with people when I glanced in earlier. It’s just one studio, yet it’s packed to the brim. Does she even need all those people? The more Ye Tong thought about it, the angrier she became.

She picked up her phone and dialed Xiao Shuo.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shuo, already in the Xiao Corporation’s Expansion Department, was being scrutinized by Yang Jing’s deathly glare.

Just as Ye Tong’s call came through, Yang Jing slammed the folder in her hand onto the desk with a BANG! The force of it made everyone in the department flinch.

Xiao Shuo clearly sensed Yang Jing’s fury, but then he remembered he was the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family and fearlessly glared back.

Seeing his audacity, Yang Jing’s expression turned even colder. "Go to HR immediately and get another five-hundred-yuan fine issued!" she said icily.

She offered no explanation, just delivered the icy command.

Xiao Shuo’s breath caught in his throat. He glared fiercely at Yang Jing. "What did you say? A fine? On what grounds?" Doesn’t this woman know who I am? Who does she think she is, issuing fines to whomever she pleases? What an oblivious fool!

Previously, Xiao Shuo wouldn’t have batted an eye at a five-hundred-yuan fine; he would have signed off on it without a second thought. He wouldn’t have cared less how they fined him.

However, now that Xiao Li had canceled all his credit cards, and recalling that HR had just told him his base salary was a mere three thousand yuan, he was seething with a mixture of anger and disbelief. What could he possibly do with three thousand yuan? Sometimes he spent more than that in a single day!

HR had already made him sign off on a five-hundred-yuan fine, leaving him with only two thousand five hundred. And now this woman was demanding another five hundred?

Hearing his retort, Yang Jing’s expression grew even colder. "On the grounds that I am now your supervisor! And for that attitude of yours, add another five hundred!"

"You..." Xiao Shuo was about to explode with rage.
