"President Jiang." The woman looked pitifully at Jiang Ye behind Mu Tiantian.

Jiang Ye walked up to Mu Tiantian and asked the woman with a cold face, "What's your name?"

Thinking her plan had succeeded, the woman quickly said, "Jia Xiao."

Jiang Ye made a phone call, "Wu Jie, have Jia Xiao go to HR to settle his salary and give him all the compensation he's due. Also, tell the others that if they're not focused on their work and are always playing those games, they should all be let go."

Judging from his tone, he seems to be trying to make Jia laugh.

Jia Xiao panicked, "President Jiang, why are you doing this?"

“I have seen everything you have said and done. It is working time now. Do you have time to act here? Have you finished your work? If everyone else is like you and doesn’t work, but spends all day playing these crooked tricks, then my company will not be able to continue operating. You are corrupting the atmosphere.”

Jiang Ye was making an example of her. Recently, rumors about Mu Tiantian had been circulating in the company, with some of them being true and some false, drawing everyone's attention to the gossip.

If this trend continues, it will be very bad for the company.

However, he will not shortchange the employees on the compensation due after firing them.

However, for those employees, they will never find a company with such good benefits as the Jiang Group.

Jia Xiao didn't expect that Jiang Ye would see her little trick, but it was a small matter.

It was nothing more than You Lian gossiping with her that made her emotional and want to mess with Mu Tiantian.

But Jiang Ye fired her over such a trivial matter.

Jia Xiao was unwilling to give up, "President Jiang, how could you let such a small matter..."

“A small matter?” Jiang Ye interrupted her. “I told you, if everyone else did what you did, do you think this is a small matter? Falsely accusing colleagues, gossiping about others, and fabricating rumors are character issues. No matter how capable you are, if you have character problems, the company will not tolerate you. You can leave.”

Jia Xiao was speechless after being rebuked and left in tears.

Before Mu Tiantian could even say a few words, Jiang Ye had already dealt with her.

But she remembered that his office was some distance from the tea room, and if she hadn't been following him, she wouldn't have seen or heard Jia Xiao's bad words behind her back.

"You saw everything?" Mu Tiantian asked.

Jiang Ye hummed in agreement.

Mu Tiantian felt a bit stuffy in the office, so she came out to get some water and get some fresh air.

Jiang Ye missed her after she had only been out of the office for half a minute, so he followed her out.

Mu Tiantian smiled slightly and leaned closer to him, "Missed me?"

Jiang Ye swallowed hard, staring at the crimson lips so close to his own, and stubbornly said, "You're overthinking it."

Mu Tiantian shrugged, "Fine, it seems like I'm being a bit redundant as a secretary. I think I'll resign."

As she spoke, she made a move to leave.

Jiang Ye nervously grabbed her arm, "I want to..."

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Tiantian didn't hear clearly.

Jiang Ye pulled her directly into his arms, pressed his thin lips to her delicate pink earlobe, and breathed softly, "I missed you."

Mu Tiantian blushed; there were still people passing by outside the tea room.

She nudged him, "Don't...there's someone..."

Jiang Ye was pleased to see her blushing face.

Mu Tiantian returned to her office with a blush on her face. Jiang Ye smiled knowingly and followed her.

The company's employees dared not spread any more rumors about Mu Tiantian.

The fact that two employees were fired because of her made everyone realize what kind of position she held in Jiang Ye's heart.

When You Lian heard about this, she was extremely jealous and felt even more disgusted with Mu Tiantian.

...

Since Mu Tiantian started coming to the company with Jiang Ye every day, Jiang Ye stopped drugging her, and the security cameras in the villa became useless.

Because the two of them are almost always together, inseparable.

Mu Tiantian didn't have much work; most of Jiang Ye's affairs were handled by Assistant Wu, so her job as secretary was practically nonexistent.

During her free time, she drew a picture of a Ragdoll cat.

The thousand paper stars were Chu Ran's apology gift, while the giant ragdoll cat was her birthday present.

Chu Ran likes cats and also likes ragdolls.

However, she doesn't have the money to commission a doll right now, unless...

"Advance payment of wages?" Jiang Ye sat on the bed and pulled Mu Tiantian into his arms. "What's in it for me?"

Mu Tiantian gently pecked his lips. "Is that enough?"

Jiang Ye's eyes blazed with desire, his voice low and hoarse, "Not enough."

He flipped over and pinned her down.

A night of madness.

System: [Jiang Ye's hatred value decreased by 15, currently at 10.]

Three days later, it was Chu Ran's birthday.

Jiang Ye and Mu Tiantian went to the bar where Jiang Ye had celebrated his birthday last time.

They usually spend their birthdays at this bar.

For no other reason than that they met Mu Tiantian here.

After Mu Tiantian was admitted to university, she became good friends with Chu Ran and got to know Chu Hao and Jiang Ye.

On the first day they met, Mu Tiantian went on stage and sang a love song.

That was the song Jiang Ye liked the most, which she learned from Qi Tong.

It could be said that Jiang Ye fell for Mu Tiantian within the time it takes to listen to a song, so much so that when Mu Tiantian pursued him using various methods afterward, he not only didn't feel disgusted, but even liked it very much.

At this moment, Mu Tiantian held a star-shaped jar in one hand and an exquisite handbag in the other, which contained figurines.

Once inside the bar, Jiang Ye's hand never left her waist.

This was something that Chu Hao, who was standing in the center, could see very clearly.

Among the people who came to the bar to celebrate Chu Ran and Chu Hao's birthday, there were a few familiar faces, but Mu Tiantian couldn't quite remember them.

When Chu Ran saw Mu Tiantian holding the star jar, she was touched; she had really folded a thousand paper stars.

But Chu Ran restrained herself and knew she couldn't forgive so easily.

He disappeared after saying something offensive, showing no regard for her feelings, so she absolutely cannot be nice to him.

Mu Tiantian took out two figurines from her handbag. One figurine depicted Chu Hao playing basketball, and the character's expression and colors were very realistic.

Chu Hao loves playing basketball and also enjoys collecting figurines, but it's unclear whether he still likes them now.

Another figure depicts five people celebrating a birthday around a table.

The two exquisitely crafted little figures closed their eyes and made a wish, while the remaining three clapped for them.

These are the five people; the ones celebrating their birthdays are Chu Hao and Chu Ran.

The scene depicting the figurine celebrating its birthday is from the year before Mu Tiantian left this world, when they celebrated their birthdays together.

Mu Tiantian handed the two figurines to Chu Hao, saying, "One is an apology gift, and the other is a birthday gift. Happy birthday, Chu Hao."

Chu Hao took the figurine that Mu Tiantian had made for him.

He had always known that she was skillful, but she was rather lazy, so sometimes the gifts she gave him were perfunctory. She only focused on Jiang Ye.

He really envied Jiang Ye.

Chu Hao stared at the figurine in his hand, somewhat lost in thought. She remembered that he liked these things.

His heart was pounding.

System: [Chu Hao's rage value has been reduced to zero.]
