Chapter 306: Let's make her run two laps downstairs as punishment.

"You've gone too far!"

Manager Fang roared.

An Yu's treatment of He Jiayu was, in effect, a slap in the face to him.

An Yu remained expressionless throughout.

Only the agent closed his eyes in despair. What a scoundrel.

At the same time, the sound of brisk footsteps rang out again.

A soft, slow voice came from outside the door.

"Are you performing a group comedy routine so early in the morning?"

Xu Xiangbai was dressed in a suit, looking elegant and dignified, which greatly reduced his usual carefree and irresponsible attitude.

But in his eyes and brows, there was still that familiar, languid air of indifference. "The sound was so intense that I felt the tremors downstairs."

Who exactly came here to perform crosstalk?

Manager Fang instantly saw a savior, "President Xu, you've arrived. You must come and judge this! Last night, An Yu disregarded the feelings between colleagues and the dignity of the company's friendship and unity, and openly started a fight in Jia Yu's live broadcast room. This behavior is simply despicable."

That's true.

After all, no matter how bad He Jiayu is, the initial target wasn't directly An Yu.

An Yu pursed her lips, unusually not refuting.

Manager Fang thought she was scared.

He continued to embellish the story, saying, "Jiayu rose from under my wing and made great contributions to the company. She and you are childhood sweethearts. No matter what, Anyu's actions are a contempt for company rules and regulations."

He Jiayu spoke up at just the right moment, "Xiang Bai, you have to stand up for me. Is An Yu trying to make my life better? My reputation has just started to improve, and An Yu is trying to do this to me. She wants to ruin me."

An Yu completely disdained this tactic of playing the victim.

He gave a cold laugh. "Get your priorities straight. If it weren't for your repeated attempts to provoke Jin Ye, I'd be disgusted even to look at you."

"Did they argue in elementary school? One of them asked me to judge, and the other asked me to uphold justice."

The assistant brought Xu Xiangbai an office chair, and he sat down with his legs crossed, looking rather relaxed and enjoying the spectacle.

"Tell me, what happened?"

An Yu knew that what she did was a mix of right and wrong, and from the company's perspective, she didn't expect Xu Xiangbai to side with her.

After all, Manager Fang was right; Xu Xiangbai and He Jiayu were childhood sweethearts.

"Just as Manager Fang said, I scolded He Jiayu during her live stream. This did damage the company's reputation. But I scolded her not because I couldn't stand seeing her doing well, but because I couldn't stand her disturbing Jin Ye's life again and again, saying ambiguous things in the live stream, openly and secretly comparing herself to Jin Ye."

He Jiayu pinched her palm to hide the resentment in her eyes, "I didn't."

However, Xu Xiangbai's nonchalant demeanor turned cold in an instant.

“He Jiayu, I remember I gave you some kind advice last time.”

His voice was strained, his displeasure blatant.

Xu Xiangbai rarely had such moments.

He Jiayu was embarrassed. "Xiang Bai, after so many years of relationship, are you really willing to believe An Yu's one-sided story?"

What she said was subtle; a woman who pays close attention might understand it.

But most passersby, including a carefree man like Xu Xiangbai, would never understand.

He Jiayu was certain of this.

“I didn’t do what happened to reporter Wen! What does it have to do with me that she was exploited by her family of origin? Zhao Qin is a greedy woman, so it’s understandable that I wanted money from her when I saw she was doing well.”

An Yu suddenly smiled and said with a meaningful sneer, "Miss He, do you know so much about our Jin Ye's past? You've investigated so thoroughly, you must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, right?"

A hint of panic flashed across He Jiayu's eyes.

In hindsight, I realized that my hasty explanation had actually been superfluous.

He had no choice but to resort to the friendship card again, "Xiang Bai, have you seen the clips of my live stream last night? I've never been so insulted and wronged. An Yu has no evidence to prove that I did anything behind her back, so why should she believe whatever she says?"

Xu Xiangbai spoke in a relaxed tone, seemingly indifferent, yet with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"I can't believe whatever she says?"

He Jiayu's face turned pale.

"You believe her?"

Even An Yu didn't expect to hear such words from Xu Xiangbai's mouth.

After all, he's the boss.

It is capital.

From the perspective of someone in a position of power, even if An Yu had a thousand reasons, her actions were indeed inappropriate.

"Xiang Bai, are you blinded by her? How could you be so irrational?"

Manager Fang was also anxious.

“President Xu, you can’t protect her! This matter has damaged our company’s reputation, and we must make an example of her! Otherwise, you won’t be able to justify it to the higher-ups.”

Xu Xiangbai lazily lit a cigarette and gave him a cold look.

Are you threatening me? Or trying to teach me how to do things?

Manager Fang broke out in a cold sweat. "That's not what I meant."

"But Xiang Bai, I really didn't do anything..."

Xu Xiangbai had no desire to watch her act and interrupted her with a sneer.

“He Jiayu, I know exactly who you are. You don’t cherish your reputation. If this fire wasn’t started by An Yu, someone else would have done it. I’ve already been more than kind to you.”

"Did you provoke Reporter Wen because you think Ah Jing was too lenient last time?"

He Jiayu was flustered and hated An Yu with a passion.

If she hadn't stepped forward to interfere, how would Xu Xiangbai and the others have guessed that Zhao Qin was someone they had personally sought out?

She had to find a way to get rid of Zhao Qin quickly, so that there would be no way to prove anything.

But for now, He Jiayu could only change the subject.

"You've been incredibly kind to me, so what about your blatant protection of An Yu?!"

Xu Xiangbai unconsciously straightened his previously languid posture. His gaze fell on An Yu for a fleeting moment.

"Did I cover for her? Just make her run two laps downstairs as punishment."

Xu Xiangbai stood up and made the decision, "This matter is settled. You'd better watch yourself after what you've done."

He strode towards the door, his assistant quickly following.

Xu Xiangbai walked to the door, then suddenly stopped and looked at An Yu, "Aren't you leaving? Are you waiting to have another big fight with her?"

An Yu shrugged guiltily and quickly followed Xu Xiangbai's steps.

She didn't try to take advantage of the situation and then act innocent.

“You don’t need to cover for me. I know I’ve caused you trouble, and the company should punish me if necessary, but I can’t apologize to He Jiayu. And... thank you for believing me.”

Xu Xiangbai found it funny.

Why don't you praise me for being sensible?

"But normally people side with their own kind regardless of what's right or wrong."

Besides, An Yu was right, but not by much, and she knew that perfectly well.

Xu Xiangbai stopped in his tracks, taking advantage of his height to look down at An Yu, "So you think He Jiayu is my relative?"

An Yu replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, you two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, while I am just one of the actors in your company, at most a good friend of your brother's girlfriend."

"What kind of tongue twister are you spouting?" Xu Xiangbai's eyes were somewhat unfathomable. "In your heart, am I just a leader with whom you would never have any interaction in your life?"

A note from the author:

The main story will be completed in about ten days.

Wives, you can tell me here what kind of side stories you want to see.

If there's a high demand, I'll start planning and writing it in advance.

For example, there's the side story of An Yu, or the "what if" scenarios for the male and female leads.
