"Did you go and cause trouble for Qin Shengyi again the other day?!"
Xie Huanyu's eyes darted away for a moment, her hand hanging at her side unconsciously twitched, and she stammered, "I... just happened to run into her."
"You bastard! Kneel down!" Xie Junyang roared, grabbing an ashtray and smashing it at the other man. His aged face was contorted with rage. "You're still trying to lie to me?"
He had already been lenient with Lu Huai in his affairs, but who knew that this turn of events would offend Qin Shengyi so badly, causing the company to miss out on the opportunity to raise funds.
That's why he decided to put the person in the basement to reflect on their actions for two days, but the bastard went to find Qin Shengyi as soon as he came out.
Xie Huanyu couldn't dodge in time, and the ashtray hit her forehead directly. Bright red blood flowed down her cheek, and she looked extremely disheveled.
Knowing so much, it seems my father really does have someone watching me all the time.
She gave a self-deprecating smile, thinking to herself how this was any different from being a puppet. Then she bent her knees and knelt down on the ground, unconsciously clenching her teeth.
Seeing this, Xie Junyang coldly questioned, "You're not convinced?"
"No, daughter knows she was wrong!" Xie Huanyu's heart skipped a beat when she was asked the question. She quickly answered, her eyes showing a hint of restraint.
"You'd better do that!" Xie Junyang said noncommittally, his expression solemn and cold. "As the future heir of my Xie family, you naturally can't just act recklessly according to your own whims. You must also be able to distinguish between what's important and what's urgent!"
Previously, Xu Yanshu could always clean up her messes, but now she had to stand on her own two feet, or the consequences could be unimaginable.
But this position of heir was never what she wanted!
A surge of resentment rose in Xie Huanyu's heart, and she almost blurted it out for a moment. After calming down, she nodded obediently, and a layer of cold sweat unexpectedly broke out on her back.
She learned her lesson, but the price of disobeying her father was one she could not afford.
Xie Junyang's expression softened, and he gestured for the other person to stand up before turning around and sitting back down at his desk.
"I'll find some time to apologize to him properly later. Qin Shengyi's identity is not simple. Even if the financing matter falls through, we absolutely cannot offend this person easily."
Whether there was any illicit affair is still uncertain, but it is true that Xu Yanshu and Qin Shengyi are getting close.
In addition, there's that old guy He Wen in their hands, which means the current situation is actually very unfavorable for them.
But it doesn't matter, since he has now found powerful allies.
Apologize?
Xie Huanyu frowned in resistance, instinctively wanting to refuse, but when she looked up, she was caught off guard by her father's cold gaze, and the words she was about to say were swallowed back.
"Okay, I understand!"
Xie Junyang waved his hand, "Okay, it's nothing else. Go down and treat your wound!"
Xie Huanyu agreed and then turned to leave the study. She ran into Xu Yanshu as soon as she went downstairs.
Just now, Butler Wang said that the father and daughter were talking in the study, so Xie Junyang did it?
Xu Yanshu immediately noticed the injury on Xie Huanyu's forehead. His handsome brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze towards the woman became noticeably more inquisitive.
I've always known that Xie Junyang is strict with his daughter in every way, but I always thought it was because he loved her deeply and was very strict with her. But now it seems that's not the case...
So, were the injuries on Xie Huanyu's wrists caused by him?
Xie Huanyu hadn't expected to run into Xu Yanshu here. She wanted to say something, but after noticing the man's gaze, she unconsciously turned her face away, her expression dimming without her noticing.
Before this, she always boasted to Xu Yanshu that she was a pampered young lady, but now she had shown him her disheveled state...
He must think he's ridiculous, right?
"Oh, miss, you must have bumped yourself. Quickly sit down and let someone take care of it!"
Butler Wang came downstairs, trying to smooth things over, and turned to Xu Yanshu, "Mr. Xu, you may go up now!"
Xu Yanshu nodded readily and then went upstairs alone.
Upon entering the study, Xie Junyang sat upright at his desk.
"Oh, what a rare guest! I thought you'd never come here again!" Xie Junyang leaned back slightly and said in a cryptic tone.
"Chairman Xie, you jest. After all, we were family before," Xu Yanshu said with a forced smile. "But I'm here today to ask you something."
"I don't think I'm a good fit for the finance department, so I'd like to apply to switch to another department, either the human resources department or the logistics department!"
This is the official reason he came today; he mainly wanted to see where the basement He Wen mentioned might be located.
So far, nothing has been discovered, but since He Wen mentioned this matter so solemnly, the Xie residence may indeed be hiding some secret.
“I know your abilities better than anyone else. No one is more suitable for the position of finance director than you, Yan Shu. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
"I was hoping we could work together to make the company bigger and stronger!" Xie Junyang said, waving his hand listlessly.
This person must have known all along why he was deliberately placed in the finance department. Even during this cooling-off period, he was already planning to make a clean getaway.
A ruthless glint flashed in Xie Junyang's deep eyes as he thought, "There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
He does have some skill, but as the saying goes, experience is the best teacher, and he's no pushover either.
Zhou Zehao has already made it clear that the other party is even less tolerant of Xu Yanshu than he is right now, and he can't really let Xu Yanshu scheme against him again and again.
Xu Yanshu was not surprised by this attitude, but he pretended to be disappointed and sighed.
Since he refuses to budge, the only option is to fight fire with fire, making him afraid to stay with the Xie Group any longer.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Chairman Xie. I'll head back now!"
"Go ahead, and come back to visit often when you have time!"
Xu Yanshu turned and left, but slowed down his pace when he got downstairs. After paying close attention, he finally noticed something was wrong... The south wall of the living room was actually half hollow.
Just as he was about to go closer to take a closer look, several servants passed by carrying things.
Xu Yanshu had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his gaze, planning to find a suitable opportunity to come back and take a look later. He quickened his pace and walked out, but encountered Xie Huanyu at the gate.
"Um... I don't have a car, could you give me a ride? I'd like to talk to you."
