Ding Huizhou, in his office, also heard that a beautiful woman had joined the company, and that Chi Qiangwei was also coming to the company.

The itch in his heart immediately stirred.

So much time has passed, and the only women who can catch his eye are Xiao Hongmian, Xiao Zhi, and Han Xiangxiang.

The women who came after were beautiful, but none of them were as beautiful, charming, or wealthy as Xiao Hongmian and the other two.

Therefore, he never took on any new women.

Upon entering Xiao Hongmian's office, he immediately noticed a young girl sitting on the sofa drinking tea and was taken aback.

Isn't this the girl he met last time?

He still remembers the girl ignoring his memory.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes.

His chance for revenge has come.

He walked over and said gently to Xiao Hongmian, "Hongmian, where have you been today? I couldn't find you anywhere."

Xiao Hongmian felt inexplicably nauseous upon hearing his words.

Today, his face and neck were completely covered by a scarf, concealing his curiosity. He frowned and asked, "I went out for a bit. What brings you here?"

"Oh, I heard from the company that you brought someone in. I was wondering if it was a new person replacing Minister Fang, so I came to check it out."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Bai Xi.

She ignored him as before, sitting there calmly drinking her tea, seemingly unaware that anyone was chatting there.

Xiao Hongmian said, "She is not an employee I hired, but my guest."

Ding Huizhou said sarcastically, "Really? So you're a distinguished guest. No wonder you didn't see me."

“Ding Huizhou, you must not be rude to her,” Xiao Hongmian said sternly.

Ding Huizhou was surprised, "Hongmian, you actually yelled at me? You never yelled at me before."

Xiao Hongmian frowned.

In an attempt to regain his composure, Ding Huizhou said, "Hongmian, I know everything you've done is for me. I'm so grateful, Hongmian, let's get married."

He tried to take her hand, but she shook him off.

Xiao Hongmian said, "Perfect timing. I also have something I want to tell you today. Let's end this here. From now on, just pretend you don't know me."

"What?" Ding Huizhou finally realized that something was wrong with Xiao Hongmian.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Did you give up on me because so many women were pursuing me? Hongmian, I only like you, really."

Xiao Hongmian was too lazy to play along with him any longer. "Ding Huizhou, you know what you've done to me. Don't force me to turn against you."

Ding Huizhou's expression changed. "Is it because of Han Xiangxiang? Han Xiangxiang must have said something to you, right? That's why you want to break up with me, isn't it? Don't believe Han Xiangxiang, she's a pervert."

He was extremely anxious. He originally wanted the girl named Bai Xi to show him that he had many beautiful women pursuing him, and that even Xiao Hongmian was devoted to him, so as to demonstrate his charm.

Now, he has been thoroughly humiliated. Xiao Hongmian has completely changed her previous gentle attitude towards him and has turned her back on him.

Xiao Hongmian coldly said, "No, Ding Huizhou, are you living in a fake world? This is reality. Wake up and stop daydreaming!"

Ding Huizhou's eyes widened.

Does she know something?

Or has the system lifted its restrictions on her?

He panicked a little at that moment.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Xiao Hongmian, "Come in!"

Then the door opened, and an employee came in to report on their work.

He was taken aback when he saw the three people inside.

"Vice President..."

Ding Huizhou walked out, and the employees all looked up when they saw him come out.

Ding Huizhou's face immediately darkened. "What are you all looking at? Be careful, or I'll fire you!"

The office door wasn't closed yet. Xiao Hongmian frowned when she heard his voice, walked out, and said expressionlessly, "Who are you going to fire?"

“Hongmian, I…they have a problem with me,” Ding Huizhou said, feeling aggrieved.

Xiao Hongmian coldly said, "Ding Huizhou, starting today, you don't need to come to work at the company!"

Ding Huizhou was stunned, then his face fell. "Why?"

"You did not pass this internship, therefore you have not been hired by the company!"

Xiao Hongmian looked at everyone, as if to tell all the employees that Ding Huizhou had been fired by her.

The employees' eyes lit up when they saw their Vice President Xiao return to his former decisive and efficient manner.

Xiao Hongmian added, "By the way, your Minister Fang will be back today, and I will be promoting him to director!"

The employees were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers.

"Vice President Xiao is wise!"

"Great! Minister Fang is back!"

"I knew it! What ability does Ding Huizhou have to do Minister Fang's job?"

"Shh, don't speak, he's still here."

Upon hearing these words, Ding Huizhou's face turned extremely ugly.

After explaining these things, Xiao Hongmian went into her office without even glancing at him.

Seeing that he had truly been abandoned by Xiao Hongmian, one of the employees boldly stepped forward and said, "Ding Huizhou, you've finally met your match?"

Before he could react, he suddenly ripped off his hat and scarf.

Then all the employees gasped in surprise.

They covered their mouths and saw that Ding Huizhou's hair had turned much whiter and his skin had become much looser, making him look like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

But they knew that Ding Huizhou was not yet thirty years old.

"Holy crap! What's going on with Ding Huizhou?"

"This is terrifying! Does he have some kind of age-related disease?"

"He used to act like a tyrant in the company, this is his retribution."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ding Huizhou quickly covered his face and ran away.

Xiao Hongmian heard about Ding Huizhou's matter in her office and looked at Bai Xi.

"Master, what's wrong with him?"

Bai Xi said, "He used the black mist to help him control people's hearts, but now he has only suffered a backlash."

“…So that’s how it is,” Xiao Hongmian said. “Was he like that his whole life?”

Bai Xi nodded, "Yes, his lifespan is rapidly decreasing; he won't live past ten years."

After saying that, she couldn't help but count on her fingers and realized that the backlash he was suffering from was not just that, and he might not even live for five years.

Xiao Zhang entered the office, glanced at Bai Xi sitting next to him, and then smiled at Xiao Hongmian.

"Vice President, may I get this fortune-telling livestreamer's autograph?"

Xiao Hongmian asked in surprise, "You recognized her?"

Xiao Zhang nodded, "Yes, I recognized it."

Another lovely girl came into the office under the pretext of reporting on her work. She happened to overhear Xiao Zhang's words, "I also want an autograph, is that okay?"

Xiao Hongmian, "..."

Then she asked Master Baixi, since this matter required her consent.

Bai Xi paused for a moment, then, seeing that there were only two employees, and thinking that it wasn't a difficult task, she agreed.
