"Alright, it's time to sleep. Do you want me to take you back?" Xu Zhaoyue asked. "No, no, I can manage on my own." Xiao Nan shook her head vigorously, thinking that Yue Lanxing's room was right across from hers.
So Xu Zhaoyue opened the door and watched Xiao Nan go back to her room. She glanced at Yue Lanxing's door again before returning to wash up herself.
Yue Lanxing was completely unaware of the in-depth conversation between the master and servant. It wasn't until the next morning when he went to pay his respects to the young lady that Xiao Nan looked at him with a strange expression.
Just as Yue Lanxing thought he was seeing things, Xiao Nan came out and spoke to him, "Aren't you off today? I don't see that Miss has anything to tell you every day, so from now on you will..."
"Ahem!" Yue Lanxing instantly realized what Xiao Nan was going to say and quickly tried to find a way to get around it. Even though he was now the butler, as long as Xiao Nan said he couldn't come over in the morning, he couldn't ask the young lady for permission anymore.
"It's alright. Sister Xiaonan asked me to come and pay my respects every day, which was really useful. This way, I can prepare everything in advance and exchange information with you, Sister Xiaonan."
Yue Lanxing's tone was quite gentle, but Xiao Nan felt increasingly annoyed. Why had she ever asked him to come and pay his respects before? It was clear that things were different from a different perspective.
Xiao Nan also felt that she couldn't change her mind anymore, so she nodded in agreement with what Yue Lanxing said. Until Xu Zhaoyue came out, the two of them stood there awkwardly.
When Xu Zhaoyue came out and saw the two of them, she couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't say anything and just went to work as usual.
The two who remained looked at each other and then turned away to do their own thing. Xiao Nan was definitely happy, but Yue Lanxing was puzzled. The young lady seemed happy, but something felt off, especially Xiao Nan's attitude today.
Yue Lanxing pondered for a whole day but still couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until Xu Zhaoyue returned and brought them gifts that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
First, Xu Zhaoyue had a talk with Manager Yuan at the company. Actually, there was no need for harsh words; just pushing the documents in front of him made them both understand what was going on.
Manager Yuan remained calm after reading the document, saying, "Is there something you don't understand, Manager Xu?"
"Yes, I'm not quite sure when to start calculating this amount. It seems like a lot. Manager Yuan, have you calculated it yourself?" Xu Zhaoyue asked with a smile.
Manager Yuan didn't dare to treat her like a pushover. Now he regretted thinking too simply about her and that he hadn't arranged things in advance. "Hey, these things were all calculated by the people below. I don't handle these things."
Xu Zhaoyue knew immediately that he was trying to shirk responsibility. He would have found a scapegoat long ago to do this kind of thing. However, her purpose today was not to find fault with the scapegoat.
"If you don't want to handle it, then don't. Managing a department is already difficult enough. You can't keep harping on one person, can you?" Xu Zhaoyue's ambiguous smile was infuriating.
However, Manager Yuan was cunning and shrewd, so how could he immediately agree to Xu Zhaoyue's conditions? "Hey, I'm just doing my job in this position. Since the chairman trusts me, I will definitely do my best."
Xu Zhaoyue nodded in agreement, trying to use her father's name to pressure her, but how could her father control her when he wasn't at the company? "Oh, I just remembered that Manager Yuan was promoted by my father. I was too young. Should I call and ask now?"
"I just don't know if my father has time to answer the phone now. He rushed to Tangkou last time because it seems there were problems with both Chinese and Western medicines. Tangkou is quite far from here."
Xu Zhaoyue appeared unaware of any problems with the goods from Tangkou, but Manager Yuan could read from her expression that she already had leverage over Tangkou.
This is bad. Manager Yuan is thinking about how to put this matter aside for now. He should at least go and admit his mistake to the chairman first. It would be better to confess to the chairman than to have this young girl find fault with him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Zhaoyue knew he was trying to figure out how to get by. It didn't matter, she wasn't in a hurry. "I know Manager Yuan must be very anxious. After all, it's a big deal. If there's a mistake, just correct it."
"But shouldn't these things have been discussed by the three of you department managers? Since you, Manager Yuan, didn't handle them, shouldn't one of you, Manager Fang or Manager Hong, be responsible for them?"
“I saw Manager Hong the other day, he was busy with the new equipment, and he didn’t seem to be very good at it.” Xu Zhaoyue had already said this, and Manager Yuan naturally understood.
Manager Yuan muttered to himself, "I'm not involved, and Manager Hong isn't an expert, so it can only be Old Fang. The young lady is using someone else to do her dirty work. On the surface, she only needs one person to step up, but in reality, she's weakening the second young lady's people."
Looking up at Xu Zhaoyue again, one could already sense her ambition and malice. "How can we know where things went wrong in such a short time?"
Manager Yuan took out a handkerchief and wiped away non-existent sweat. The room was well-ventilated; even though he was so nervous, he hadn't broken a sweat. "I'll investigate right away and come back to Manager Xu as soon as I have any news."
After saying that, he got up and left. Judging from his disordered steps, this incident had a significant impact on him.
Xu Zhaoyue watched Manager Yuan's flustered figure with a calm demeanor, and waited until he was out of sight before signaling Xue Huzi to close the door.
Manager Yuan first went to see Manager Hong. The two discussed it for a long time and then parted ways. When Manager Yuan pretended to call Lao Fang and Lao Hong again in the afternoon, Manager Hong finally came up and ran into Manager Fang.
Xu Zhaoyue didn't know what the outcome of their discussion would be; it might not be resolved in a day. She was currently sitting at home looking at the invitation sent by the orphanage.
