When Tang Yizhou heard this, his face, hidden by sunglasses and a mask, froze.

Huang Shiyu, who was standing at the door, looked frightened. Didn't Mr. Xia hear clearly? Mr. Tang from Lingtian Capital, she told him to go back to where he came from?

???

Is it really reasonable?

The office door was open, and Xia Xi's ruthless rebuke was heard. Most of the employees outside heard it and secretly sighed: Mr. Xia is a thorny rose that is not easy to pick.

Huang Shiyu glanced at the man beside him with a pale face, then raised his voice and repeated, "Mr. Xia, it's Mr. Tang from Lingtian Capital."

Xia Xi's attitude remained unchanged, still that cold and indifferent expression that kept people at a distance. "Forget Lingtian Capital. Even if he's Mr. Tang from Paradise Capital, get the hell out of here."

Huang Shiyu: “…”

Tang Yizhou: "..."

He came here today to apologize, and on the way here he had anticipated Xia Xi's possible reaction. At this moment, the guess in his mind turned into reality, and he found that there was nothing unacceptable.

Tang Yizhou walked straight into the office and told Huang Shiyu, "Close the door. I need to talk to Xia...Engineer Xia."

Huang Shiyu glanced at Xia Xi, who was sitting behind the desk, under pressure. She didn't know the grudge between the two of them, but there couldn't be any hatred, right? Otherwise, how could Xia Gong, such a good-tempered person, be so rude to Mr. Tang?

Well, it must be Mr. Tang who made the mistake first.

Seeing that Huang Shiyu was slow to close the door, Tang Yizhou pulled her lip speechlessly. She was indeed worthy of being Xia Xi's assistant. She didn't move until Xia Xi gave the order.

Tang Yizhou had no choice but to close the door himself, blocking Huang Shiyu and others from view.

The staff in the hall whispered to Huang Shiyu, "What did I just hear? Is he Mr. Tang from Lingtian Capital?"

"It should be Tang Yizhou, the prince of the Tang family."

"He came to discuss a project with Xia Gong?"

"Of course not! Someone of Mr. Tang's stature would probably send an assistant or secretary to discuss a project. How could he possibly come in person?"

"Didn't you see the flowers and luxury goods he brought? I bet he's here to chase our Xia Gong."

"How come Mr. Xia knows Mr. Tang?"

Faced with a variety of questions, Huang Shiyu was confused. She shook her head and responded to all the questions with "I don't know".

"Oh, Xiao Huang, you're too tight-lipped. We're just curious, but we won't go out and say anything."

Huang Shiyu smiled bitterly. She didn't fool them. She really didn't know.

"Are you all so free?! Have you finished your work?! Did the company hire you to chat during work hours?!"

Gao Ge came out of the office and saw that everyone was not doing their work but chatting about Xia Xi's gossip. He immediately became furious and asked three questions in a row. In an instant, the whole hall fell silent.

Everyone was like quails, shrinking their necks and pretending to be busy.

"Xiao Wu, have you finished rendering that picture?"

"Right away, right away."

"Xiao Zheng, pack up, we are going to the client's house to measure the room."

"Let's go, let's go."

"Hey, why is my 3D Max not working? Can anyone come and help me take a look?"

Gao Ge glared at them and went to the president's office with the documents.

Ever since Xia Xi came to Boya, the atmosphere of the entire company has changed. It has become lazy and untidy. If an outsider comes in and sees this scene, nine out of ten times he would think that their company is not up to standard.

In Xia Xi's private office, Tang Yizhuo placed the flowers and gifts on the desk and recited the apology letter he had prepared in advance.

"Xia Xi, I was wrong about what happened last Friday. Things were a bit chaotic back then, and I wasn't able to formally apologize to you. I came to visit you today specifically to show you the sincerity of my apology. I hope you can forgive me. Of course, you don't have to forgive me; the decision is yours. But I still have to explain clearly to you that it was indeed my instruction to do this to Li Chenghai. I only told him to stall for time and make things difficult for you, to teach you a lesson during the project discussions, and ideally, to scare you into begging for mercy..." At this point, Tang Yizhou felt a little guilty, his eyes flickering behind his sunglasses. He couldn't finish the rest of the sentence, and after letting out a breath, he continued, "I didn't expect that old baldy would actually do this. While I may have a low moral standard, I'm not completely immoral."

No matter what he said, Xia Xi remained indifferent, staring at the computer screen in front of her, treating him as air.

Tang Yizhou touched the back of his head, feeling helpless.

After a few seconds of silence, he tried to bring up Xu Yanfeng: "I know that what I did was excessive, and I can't face the shame of expecting you to let it go. Sigh... But this is all because I saw Xu Yanfeng injured that day, and I was so angry that I lost my normal rationality, which is why I came up with such a stupid idea."

Xu Yanfeng was injured?

Xia Xi grasped the important information in his words, her fingers hovering above the keyboard, and raised her head to give him a look.

Tang Yizhou was encouraged and spoke excitedly, "You didn't see the wound on his face that day. It was a long bloody mark. He wouldn't tell me how he got it. It was only after asking around that I found out he drank too much the night before and accidentally fell. Who else could he have gotten drunk for except you? As his good friend since childhood, of course I took my anger out on you."

Xia Xi: "Which day?"

Tang Yizhou was stunned for a moment before he understood what she was asking. He recalled it in his mind and said, "September... the 13th."

Xia Xi fell into deep thought. She did meet Xu Yanfeng that day. To be precise, Xu Yanfeng went to see Su Jinru and was seen by her. When he left, his expression looked a little hurt.

She thought she was seeing things, but it turned out to be true.
