"Ms. Mayda, I'm sorry, I can't help you." Ye Ruohuan rejected Mayda's plea with a cold word.

The taut string in Mayda's heart suddenly broke. Despair was revealed in her eyes. She stared at Ye Ruohuan, shedding tears silently.

Ye Ruohuan couldn't bear it and turned her face away. She wondered if she was too heartless.

After Mayda heard Ye Ruohuan's refusal, the stone in her heart became heavier and heavier. In fact, her arrogance on the surface was all disguised, including her branded clothes, which were all beautiful disguises.

Among so many people, she was the one who was truly trying to be rich. In order to make her life look bright and glamorous, she had done so many shameful things in private and spent so many wasted nights that even she herself didn't know.

If she lost this respectable job, she would return to the dark days of the past when she never saw the sun.

Mayda collapsed on the ground, with only one thought in her mind, that is, she didn't want to go back to the past.

So she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Ruohuan's legs, crying and begging for mercy: "Miss Ye, please, I don't want to lose this job, please help me, okay?"

Ye Ruohuan couldn't bear it, her face wavered a little, and she looked at Liang Ke who was standing beside her for help.

This was the first time Ye Ruohuan encountered such a thing, and she didn’t know how to deal with it.

Liang Ke frowned tightly, very dissatisfied with Mayda's behavior, which not only hurt Daya, but also had a bad influence on others.

Liang Ke said to Mayda in a stern voice: "Mayda, none of us can change Mr. Fu's decision, and you should know that. Let Ruohuan go, or I will call the security guards!"

Liang Ke didn't have a very good impression of Mayda, because Mayda was forced to come from another department. From the first moment she saw Mayda, she knew that Mayda would eventually pay the price for her arrogant attitude.

Now, isn't it retribution? This result is Mayda's own fault.

Mayda still held Ye Ruohuan's legs tightly and kept shaking her head, "I don't want to--"

Mayda didn't scream, but she was crying silently.

Seeing that Mayda suddenly became quiet, Liang Ke was afraid that she would go crazy again, so she signaled her secretary with her eyes to call the security guard to come up.

A few minutes later, Fu's security guards came up quickly and forcibly took away the desperate and sad Mayda.

This scene was witnessed by all the employees in the studio. They couldn't help but wonder if Ye Ruohan was the same as Fu Yijian, both cold-hearted and without a trace of emotion?

The farce finally ended and the studio fell silent.

Ye Ruohuan stood in the office with a dazed look on his face, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened.

Liang Ke walked over, patted Ye Ruohuan's shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you scared?"

Ye Ruohuan glanced at her, shook his head slightly, and said truthfully: "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing."

Ye Ruohuan has always lived at the bottom of society and can empathize with Mayda's difficulties.

The rules of this society have always been controlled by a few people, and even the fate of ordinary people like them is controlled by these people.

Precisely because he sensed his own powerlessness, Ye Ruohuan felt a little sad, and his heart was depressed and not very comfortable.

Liang Ke didn't say anything more. Most people would be scared and cry in such a situation, but Ye Ruohuan seemed calm and composed on the surface.

Liang Ke said a few words of comfort and then left Ye Ruohuan's office, leaving Ye Ruohuan alone sitting in the office chair, staring at the sketchbook in a daze, his mind blank and without any design inspiration.

This might be related to the little incident caused by Mayda, Ye Ruohan comforted herself.

She looked up through the double-sided glass in the office at other colleagues outside, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

"Could it be..." Ye Ruohuan murmured softly.

In the top-floor office, a man was concentrating on working on the documents in his hands.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in to report to Fu Yijian what had already been dealt with: "Mr. Fu, the employee who bumped into Miss Ye has been fired. The employees of Firstly Studio will also take this as a warning and probably won't dare to do anything behind her back anymore."

Fu Yijian's eyes were still on the documents on the desk, and he said "hmm" lightly.

As the president of a superior company, how could Fu Yijian be a petty person? And why would he deliberately target a small employee?

It's just because they want to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, to warn those employees who have bad intentions.

He did this for only one purpose, which was to declare Ye Ruohuan's sovereignty. Wherever he was, Ye Ruohuan could not be offended at will.

Rather than saying that Fu Yijian gave Ye Ruohuan a green light and privileges by sending his assistants to manage Ye Ruohuan's personal connections, it would be better to say that Fu Yijian's warning to others by dismissing Mayda was his real protection for Ye Ruohuan.

If some people are not given some warnings, they will think that Fu Yijian doesn't know, doesn't understand, and doesn't care.

But it was precisely because of this that Fu Yijian silently declared to them that Ye Ruhuan was under his protection.

Fu Yijian thought of what Ye Ruohuan was worried about this morning. He looked up and glanced at his assistant, then asked calmly, "Any news about Ye Qiang?"

The assistant has also been following this matter. He said seriously, "Our people found out that Ye Qiang returned to City B not long ago."

"Have you found where he is now?" Fu Yijian took his eyes off the documents and stared at his assistant.

The assistant nodded and said, "He lives in a rented house in the alley on No. 24 Street, and his wife lives with him."

Fu Yijian frowned. Ye Qiang disappeared for such a long time and suddenly came back. There seemed to be something strange about it.

So, Fu Yijian said in a deep voice: "Go and find out why Ye Qiang suddenly returned to City B, and find someone to monitor him. Also, free up a day in my schedule. I want to meet him."

The assistant understood what Fu Yijian meant and immediately said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

The assistant left Fu Yijian's office, called his people, told them Fu Yijian's instructions, and then started to investigate the reasons why Ye Qiang returned to City B.

At first, they found out that Ye Qiang suddenly left City B because he received a sum of money from Fu Yiming. Now he has returned to City B, either because he is in debt or has no money.

Fu Yijian stared deeply at the photo on the table. The woman's profile was gentle, and she looked like she was living a peaceful and tranquil life.

However, what Fu Yijian is most worried about now is that Ye Qiang will find Ye Ruohuan. After all, Ye Ruohuan has become a famous designer known to everyone in the streets and alleys.

If you are targeted by Ye Qiang, it means that you will also be targeted by the loan sharks behind Ye Qiang.

This is the biggest hidden danger in Fu Yijian's mind, and the same goes for Ye Shuo's safety.
