Chapter 298 - 298 294 Xiao Yichen Kneels and Begs

298: Chapter 294: Xiao Yichen Kneels and Begs 298: Chapter 294: Xiao Yichen Kneels and Begs The next morning, Ye Fan arrived at the office on time and noticed that Hu Jing’s beautiful eyes were fixated on him, seemingly with a hint of confrontation.

Ye Fan couldn’t help feeling puzzled: logically, I took her to the Yun Qi club yesterday, and she seemed to enjoy herself, she should at least show me some friendly gestures, so why is she looking at me with a vengeful glare?

He suppressed his confusion, thinking he must have been mistaken, so he pretended not to notice Hu Jing’s gaze and sat down at his desk to browse the web.

Checking the stock prices of the Emali Group online, he realized that compared to when he bought them last Thursday, the price had risen by about twelve percent.

In other words, he had already made tens of millions.

And since the stock market hadn’t opened today yet, he expected another round of price limits, which would be a ten percent increase, meaning he would earn a few more tens of millions today.

As he was estimating how much money he could make this time, Ye Fan suddenly sensed a figure standing in front of his desk.

He looked up sharply and saw that it was Hu Jing, who had quietly left her own desk and approached his.

“Hehe, Ms.

Hu the beauty,” Ye Fan said with a light smile, “What’s up?”

Hu Jing pouted, “What’s up?!

Not working during work hours, browsing the web instead!”

“Hehe, there’s nothing to do right now,” Ye Fan chuckled, “Besides, I just sat down at my desk, I need a few minutes to get into work mode.”

Seeing Ye Fan’s teasing and carefree demeanor, not taking seriously the fact that she caught him surfing the web during work hours, Hu Jing felt a wave of helplessness.

“I’m asking you, why did you leave me last night without saying a word?” Hu Jing finally couldn’t hold back and confronted him.

Ye Fan looked innocent and said, “Didn’t I send you a text message?

Besides, your place isn’t the same as mine, how could we go back together?”

“Who would notice that text message?!” Hu Jing said irritably.

This man had no sense of shame at all and still had the nerve to talk back, which was infuriating.

Ye Fan spread his hands, “Well, that’s not my fault.

If you didn’t notice the message, it means you were too busy, I couldn’t just interrupt your gold-digging husband hunt.”

“What gold-digging?

Speak nicely!” Hu Jing glared and scolded.

Ye Fan teased Hu Jing with a light smile, “Hehe, the quality of those tall, handsome and wealthy guys last night was quite good, right?

If you get married in the future, remember to give me a big red envelope.

You can’t shortchange me on the matchmaker’s fee, oh.”

Hu Jing was annoyed and huffed, “Like a dog can’t spit out ivory!

I’m done with you!”

After that, she tossed her long hair, turned around, and walked back to her own desk with her seductive waist swaying.

Ye Fan chuckled and leisurely admired the alluring view of Hu Jing’s retreating figure.

Once Hu Jing returned to her desk, Ye Fan lowered his head to continue surfing the web, paying attention to the stock prices of Tianjun Group as well.

During the day in the United States the previous night, Tianjun Group’s stocks continued to plummet, suffering heavy losses.

While Ye Fan was looking at Tianjun Group’s stock prices, Xiao Yichen was almost on his knees in Li Zhaojun’s office.

“…Li Zhaojun, please have a generous heart, raise your noble hand, and let Tianjun Group off this time.

We know we were wrong and will never dare to offend you again,” Xiao Yichen pleaded, bowing at the waist in front of the desk.

Meanwhile, Li Zhaojun sat high in her luxurious office chair, never once glancing at Xiao Yichen, focusing on her paperwork.

Aside from the fact that the stock price of Tongyi Group had plummeted overnight due to continued attacks from international short sellers, Tianjun Group, Tongyi Group’s main partner, had already officially sought to terminate their cooperation contract.

Xiao Litong, feigning a sudden illness, had hidden in the hospital, dragging his feet on formally signing off.

The idea to steal the patent for “Jili Lung Purification Tablets” from Emali Group had been proposed by him, Xiao Yichen, and his father at the board meeting.

Now, the Tongyi Group board was blaming all the attacks suffered by Tongyi Group squarely on him and his father.

If the mastermind behind the scenes didn’t stop the attacks today, Tongyi Group would face disastrous consequences.

Therefore, early this morning, he visited Li Zhaojun at Emali Group, begging her to stop.

Xiao Yichen begged for a long time but seeing that Li Zhaojun completely ignored him from beginning to end, he clenched his teeth and “thump” knelt down.

“Li Zhaojun, I beg you, for the sake of our many years of acquaintance, on the basis that I have always been wholeheartedly devoted to you, please spare Tongyi Group this once.

If you let Tongyi Group go, we will compensate your recent losses tenfold,” Xiao Yichen begged humbly.

Finally, Li Zhaojun paused her work and slightly lifted her head to glance at Xiao Yichen on the ground, saying indifferently, “I’ve said that the person directing the attacks on Tongyi Group isn’t me.

Begging me is useless.”

Due to the outbreak of internal conflicts within Tongyi Group, Li Zhaojun already knew that it was Xiao Yichen who was behind the theft of the “Jili Lung Purification Tablets” patent.

Therefore, even as Xiao Yichen knelt before her, she didn’t show a pleasant expression.

“Please, I beg you…” Xiao Yichen pleaded pitifully.

Disgust and contempt rose in Li Zhaojun’s beautiful brow, and she directly dialed the security office phone, “Zhao Gang, come to my office immediately with a few people and escort someone out.”

“Okay, right away!” the head of security, Zhao Gang, answered.

After a while, the tall Zhao Gang and three or four equally tall security guards entered.

“Xiao Yichen, you may leave now.

I don’t want to see you again,” Li Zhaojun said coldly.

Even though Xiao Yichen had already stood up, he still wanted to plead.

At this moment, Zhao Gang walked over, standing between him and Li Zhaojun, and said seriously, “Mr.

Xiao, please.”

“Li Zhaojun, you’re so cruel!” Xiao Yichen’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment as he cursed, “I was blind to have fallen for you!…”

Zhao Gang immediately ordered the other four security guards, “Take action and drag him out!”

And so, the four burly security guards pounced on him, grabbing Xiao Yichen and forcefully dragged him out.

Seven or eight minutes later, Zhao Gang returned to Li Zhaojun’s office to report that Xiao Yichen had been escorted outside the Emali Group’s premises.

Li Zhaojun responded with a sound and said, “He must not be allowed to come to our group again.”

“Yes!

Please rest assured, Director Li, I will deploy additional personnel, patrol strictly, and absolutely not let that Xiao character step half a foot into our group again!” Zhao Gang promised emphatically.

After that, he couldn’t help saying, “That Xiao guy has some nerve, stealing our group’s patent, nearly ruining our group, and now he has the audacity to come begging for mercy.

Not giving him a beating is already letting him off easy!”

After Zhao Gang left, Li Zhaojun stood up, walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, and mused, “Hu Jing should have already relayed the message to him, yet I didn’t expect him to still not stop.”

However, she had no intention of persuading Ye Fan to stop anymore.
