I don't know how long I sat in this mess, the tightness and pain in my chest hadn't subsided when the phone rang.
Xu Nuo's hand trembled slightly. Seeing that it was Wang Jinfeng calling, she hesitated for a moment, but still answered:
"Hello?"
"What are you doing, Xu Nuo! I invited a very important client of the company to Yunduan today, and now the security guards and manager are saying they won't serve me! Let me tell you, if you ruin this deal, I'll tell Lin Yan to skin you alive!"
Hehe~~hehe~~~`
Instead of replying, Xu Nuo laughed on the phone.
Hearing Xu Nuo's somewhat sinister laughter, Wang Jinfeng paused, holding the phone, not understanding what Xu Nuo was up to.
"What are you laughing at? Answer me! I'm still standing at the entrance of Cloud City! I'm a vice president of the company, don't I have any dignity?!"
"Then I advise you to leave quickly. If I change my mind later, I'll get the security guards to beat you up, and you'll lose all face and dignity!"
What's wrong with you?!
Wang Jinfeng instinctively thought Xu Nuo was drunk, but judging from his voice, he didn't sound like he'd been drinking. Just as he was wondering what was going on, Xu Nuo's cold voice came again:
"Wang Jinfeng, I'm warning you, if you dare to speak ill of me in front of my brother again, I'll rip out your tongue!"
Xu Nuo hung up the phone, looked at the door where Ye Linyan had disappeared, and smiled silently.
..............................................................................................
Xu Nuo was still sitting blankly on the sofa when she suddenly heard the door open. She instinctively thought it was Ye Linyan returning, so she looked up and saw Wang Mingwu leading a few people in.
Xu Nuo's expression darkened instantly, and she tilted her head, staring at Wang Mingwu.
"The boss instructed that you cannot go out or contact anyone outside for the next two days."
Wang Mingwu walked up to Xu Nuo and held out his hand: "Hand over your phone!"
"He's going to put me under house arrest?"
Xu Nuo glanced at her phone and asked in a low voice.
"Don't make things difficult for me! Just do as he says!" The person behind Wang Mingwu tried to step forward to take Xu Nuo's phone, but Wang Mingwu stopped him.
Xu Nuo glanced at the group of people, mentally assessed the situation, and realized that if a fight broke out, he feared he wouldn't gain the upper hand. He abandoned the idea and turned to Wang Mingwu, saying:
"I'll call my brother, okay?"
Wang Mingwu nodded.
Xu Nuo dialed Ye Linyan's number, but the phone rang for a long time without being answered. Undeterred, Xu Nuo dialed again, but still no one answered.
"Use mine."
Wang Mingwu took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo took the phone, but Wang Mingwu didn't pull his hand back. Xu Nuo pursed her lips and placed her phone in Wang Mingwu's hand.
The call was answered almost instantly after it was dialed.
"Um?"
"Brother, it's me!"
"………..............."
"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to detain me?"
"....................."
Xu Nuo couldn't hear a reply from the other end; the phone was completely silent. She even thought Ye Linyan had hung up on her. Xu Nuo held the phone up to her face and glanced at it; it was still connected.
Only then did he realize that Ye Linyan didn't want to talk to him!
Xu Nuo gave a self-deprecating laugh, and his voice changed tone accordingly:
"You left in such a hurry, did you forget something for me? Why don't you ask Brother Wu to bring it to me!"
What do you want?
Ye Linyan's voice was deep, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
"A chain! It's your dog! Even when it's in a cage, it still needs to be leashed, right?"
"Promise!"
Ye Linyan shouted loudly on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of glass shattering.
"Ye Linyan, you fucking treat me like a dog!"
Xu Nuo was instantly enraged. This was the first time in his life that he had called Ye Linyan by his name, and the first time he had yelled at him! Before he could reply, he smashed his phone on the ground and, still not satisfied, stomped on the broken phone a few times.
Wang Mingwu was speechless, his mind racing with questions: Should he claim the phone bill? And if so, with whom?
.........................................................................................................
Ye Linyan sat in the car, blood still flowing from his hands. The driver's side window was shattered, and his knuckles were white as he held the phone.
Wang Jinfeng called at that moment.
"What's up?"
Ye Linyan answered the phone, her voice still filled with anger.
"Lin Yan, what is Xu Nuo up to? I came to Yunduan with a client tonight, but he refused to let me in and even threatened to beat me up!"
Wang Jinfeng was so focused on complaining that he failed to notice the odd tone in Ye Linyan's voice.
"Hold!"
Ye Linyan slammed his fist on the steering wheel, emitting a piercing car horn sound.
"I'm coming over now! You take the client somewhere else first!"
"No, Lin Yan..."
Before Wang Jinfeng could finish speaking, Ye Linyan hung up the phone and sped off into the clouds!
At this moment, Wang Jinfeng realized that Ye Linyan's emotions seemed a little off, but the call had already ended!
Wang Jinfeng had no choice but to put away the phone, put on a smiling face, and lead the customers to another venue!
The cloud is no longer what it was a few years ago. Now, as the largest money pit in Cloud City, it has a considerable amount of connections and its profits are increasing year by year.
How long will this fuss continue?
Ye Linyan felt a lump in her throat when she recalled Xu Nuo's words.
The car arrived at the entrance of Yunduan. Ye Linyan glanced at the security guards at the gate, stepped on the gas, and drove off again. On the way here, he had gradually calmed down.
What happened to Wang Mingwu this morning, and what happened to Wang Jinfeng just now, means he might not even be able to get through the main gate of Yundu right now!
After turning several corners, Ye Linyan arrived at the underground parking lot of Yunduan. He thought he wouldn't be stopped from entering, but to his surprise, he was stopped at the entrance before he even got in.
The vehicle recognition system showed that the vehicle was prohibited, and the barrier gate did not open!
Two security guards came out from the security booth next to Ye Linyan's car. They didn't seem too surprised to see that the driver's side window was broken.
"Open!"
Ye Linyan looked at the two security guards, trying his best to suppress his temper.
"Excuse me, sir, your car is not allowed to enter here."
One of the security guards spoke without changing his expression, completely unaffected by Ye Linyan's somber and brooding face.
Just as Ye Linyan was about to open the car door and get out, the security guard shoved her through the crack in the door with considerable force.
"Sir, your car has been marked by our security system. You can't get out here. Please leave!" The security guard stood outside the car, his dark face expressionless.
"Don't you know who I am?"
Ye Linyan felt a sharp pain in her hand gripping the car door; the moment she exerted force, the wound started bleeding again.
“I don’t recognize you! You’re a marked vehicle and person, you can’t go in! If you don’t leave, I’ll call for help!” As he said this, he actually picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling for help.
Ye Linyan was blocked at the car door and couldn't get out, so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
He took out his phone and dialed Chen, the finance manager: "Who's in charge of security at the cloud? Tell him to come down and see me right now!"
"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye!"
Since the last time, Lao Chen has basically lost all real power. Most of the finances have been taken over by the newly hired manager. He sensed that something must have happened, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Ye Linyan at this time.
"say!"
Ye Linyan was clearly getting impatient. Normally, Ye Linyan was a calm and even-tempered person and rarely lost his temper with his subordinates. This shout startled Old Chen, who became even more stammering!
"President Xu replaced all the security guards, and the security system was also completely rebuilt. I... I don't know the current security manager... I have his phone number... I... I'll send it to you!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Linyan clenched his fists so tightly they cracked as he looked at the two security guards standing like statues outside the car.
Old Chen's message came quickly, and Ye Linyan had just dialed it with a cold face when a lazy, nonchalant voice came through the broken car window:
"Oh, it's President Ye! No need to call, I'm here now."
Ye Linyan turned his head and only saw a chest wearing a black t-shirt. Then the person bent down, revealing a face with well-defined features. The slightly bronze skin made the face look even more rugged, and there was a roguish smile on the corner of the person's mouth.
"Don't you recognize me?"
Ye Linyan looked at the person in front of him, searched his memory, and found that the face looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember who it was!
"Why are you blocking the car door? Let me tell you, Mr. Ye is quite skilled. Even the two of you combined might not be a match for him! Understand?"
As he spoke, he opened the car door for Ye Linyan and gestured for her to enter.
