All the exhaustion and hardship of a night of toil turned into tears that welled up in her eyes. Yet, she stubbornly refused to let them fall, her delicate shoulders trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Even Mu Nanxun, who was always extremely strict with everyone, felt a little sorry for him.
Damn it, how could he be so soft-hearted towards her! A clueless female con artist!
"Young Master, could you please reconsider? I think Yi Yi..." She wouldn't harm the young lady; there must be some misunderstanding.
Li Ma genuinely liked Yi Yi and risked angering Mu Nanxun to plead for her.
She was only halfway through her sentence when Mu Nanxun's cold gaze swept over her, startling her into swallowing the rest of her words.
"Anyone who pleads for her again will be expelled from the Mu family."
After these words were spoken, even those who felt the matter had been handled hastily dared not speak out.
Yi Yi was still very touched that Li Ma had spoken up for her. She ran over and hugged Li Ma, murmuring, "Li Ma, thank you for speaking up for me. I'm leaving now. Nothing else matters, but I'm a little reluctant to part with your cooking. Your cooking is the best I've ever eaten! But I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it again."
At this point, Yi Yi's expression darkened. She had thought she would be able to eat Li Ma's cooking every day from now on.
"Yi Yi, don't be sad." Li Ma wiped away Yi Yi's tears, and couldn't help but cry herself. "Once you've settled down, I'll come to find you and cook you something delicious."
"Thank you, Aunt Li!"
Yi felt a bitter taste in her mouth, let go of his hand, and said goodbye to Uncle Zhang and the others one by one.
The happiest person, of course, was Liang Xiaoru. She hadn't expected to get rid of Yi Yi so easily; it was too smooth! This job was hers now.
“Young Master, it’s so late, I’m worried she might be in danger, so I’d like to see her off,” Li Ma pleaded.
Mu Nanxun looked at that small figure, frowned, and said seriously, "You are not allowed to see him off."
"..." Why is Young Master so short-tempered today?
Yi Yi finally walked up to Mu Nanxun, opened her mouth, but felt that she had nothing to say to him, so she turned to leave.
"Do you think I'm heartless, stubborn, and prone to believing only what others say?" Mu Nanxun asked calmly.
Yi looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.
How did he know? Could he possibly have the legendary mind-reading ability?
“You can think that way, but that doesn’t stop me from making the final decision. Even if the final facts are as you say, you can’t escape your responsibility.”
"..." What does that mean? She did nothing wrong, so why should she bear some ridiculous responsibility?!
"You're here to work, so naturally you're responsible for this job. First, you don't know how to get along well with your colleagues and build good relationships; second, you didn't do a thorough handover and didn't verify anything; third, you didn't fulfill your responsibilities in your own work area and during your work hours. For example, before starting work, you should have checked the entire room and removed all hazardous materials. If you had done all the work properly, this wouldn't have happened tonight."
This was the first time Mu Nanxun had spoken so much to someone, and every word he uttered was wise and insightful. Of his tens of thousands of employees, none had ever received his personal instruction. This woman truly deserved his gratitude for his guidance and mentorship.
Although Yi Yi felt that there was some truth to what he said, she was still unconvinced. "What if someone deliberately sabotaged this? You're just going to ignore it?"
