Chapter 10 Humiliating Whoever It Is Is Her Choice
10
To date, the president's personal financial losses have exceeded 30 million.
The group is about to launch a major R&D project, and the funding chain cannot be disrupted. Currently, the group has not completely purged the Bian family members, which still hinders the project's progress. The old guard, hiding in their shells, are still hoping to steal a share of the profits.
Therefore, Bian Xun has always tacitly agreed that if necessary, he would bypass the group and fund the project himself.
But now his own funds are in danger.
Bian Xun rested his hands on the edge of the thick sandalwood table, wisps of smoke swirling in the room, his cold, pale eyes always creased with worry.
He always had a premonition that this mysterious person was not far from him.
With his eyes closed and everything pitch black, Ning Ye's figure suddenly flashed past him, as if responding to some kind of intuition.
But when Bian Xun thought of her, the first thing that came to mind was her sweet and gentle voice from that day.
During his sleepless nights, the fragrance lingered in his ears, almost unbearably sweet.
She has changed a bit, but I can't quite put my finger on what has changed.
Every Friday night before, even in the hottest, most scorching moments, she would only bite her lip and patiently tilt her head back to hum a couple of times amidst the extreme swaying.
That tenacity is both infuriating and captivating.
When did you learn to speak like this?
Like a toddler learning to speak.
Behind the large desk, the man sat upright in a black leather chair, his eyes slightly lowered. He exuded a cold and aloof aura of a superior, but his fingertips unconsciously rubbed against each other for a few moments under the desk.
A gentle knock on the office door abruptly dispelled the pervasive atmosphere.
Bian Xun opened his narrow eyes, his expression turning cold. He rubbed his brow bone with his fingertips, the movement seeming a bit too fast, revealing a rare impatience.
When he stood up, his eyes were already cold and calm. He pushed open the heavy door to his office, and there was a box of face cream on the assistant's desk outside the door.
Thinking of the 9.98 million he spent yesterday, Bian Xun expressionlessly picked up the face cream and threw it into the storage box, just as Assistant Zhang caught it with lightning speed. "Mr. Bian, this is for the baby. I'll take care of it."
Bian Xun paused slightly, took the document and examined it carefully; it was indeed different from what Xu Lanyi had sent yesterday.
This is newly purchased.
It appears randomly, just like the Little Genius children's smartwatch.
Another children's product.
"..." Bian Xun remained expressionless, tapping with his fingertip, "This 998?"
Assistant Zhang asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Bian Xun closed his eyes.
Because he paid for another 10,000 orders for others.
He waved his hand, signaling Assistant Zhang to report on the latest screening and tracking progress. As he turned around, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his dark gaze fell on the charm on Assistant Zhang's briefcase.
One crystal grape.
He had seen the exact same bag charm on Ning Ye's canvas bag yesterday. Her bag chain was a bit long, and it bounced and bumped into Jiang Xinghe when she walked, but she didn't know it.
Bian Xun frowned. "How come you have it too?"
Assistant Zhang looked down and awkwardly put his briefcase behind him. "This... was given to me by the child."
Zhang Sijie insisted that he hang it on his bag, saying that her best friend's mother had hung it on as well.
He paused slightly while searching.
A chilling intuition swept through his mind.
But he quickly scoffed, "How could that be?"
After hearing the report, it was decided that the legal department should first file for legal action against all distributors of the smartwatches to find the buyers who purchased the watches during that period. If it was a single order of 10,000, it wouldn't be difficult to find them; however, if it was a series of individual orders, it would be very difficult to simultaneously steal the entire amount.
But just as he was preparing to capture his opponent in a comprehensive and inescapable trap.
That mysterious force suddenly subsided.
…
Who would buy anything before Singles' Day?
Ning Ye sat in an empty seat and heard Sister Zhou next to her calculating discounts rapidly, figuring out which items had been secretly raised in price and which items could be combined for a discount.
They had just finished their departmental meeting. Although Wujiang's R&D products did not participate in merchant activities, they had just hired celebrities to endorse and promote them. It just so happened that during this week's Double Eleven pre-sale event, a series of cutting-edge interactive products, led by the AD600 Cloud Sound Pro, could directly break into the market, which was naturally what the higher-ups hoped to see.
On the day of the Double Eleven pre-sale, Xu Lanyi will hold a live broadcast within the company to promote the event.
For a film queen like Xu Lanyi, live-streaming e-commerce would be considered beneath her status. This, combined with the way Xu Lanyi looked at President Bian when she was handing out gifts at the company that day…
Gossip spread like wildfire, with rumors circulating throughout the company that the Bian and Xu families were going to arrange a marriage, which was already an open secret. That's why Actress Xu was willing to do all this for President Bian.
The gossip has spread so far that even the CEO's office has heard about it.
"Did President Bian agree? President Bian is still so young, is he really going to get married so young?!"
"That's a female celebrity, and both families are wealthy."
"But wasn't the boss very cold towards you that day?"
"Who doesn't the boss treat? In our boss's world, no one is special..."
While replying to new emails from Qiongxin Company, Ning Ye's thoughts were also drawn away by the casual conversation.
It seemed to be the exact same argument she'd often heard back in school, only back then it was the campus version—
"XX is XX's daughter and the most beautiful girl in X department. Only a girl like her could catch Bian Xun's eye."
"Families like theirs are very particular about marrying someone of equal social standing."
"But Bian Xun seems to treat everyone the same way."
Ning Ye felt that Bian Xun wasn't anything special to her. He was just as cold and aloof, just as orderly. Even if there had been moments of intense passion and embraces, they would still end up separating in the same way.
The only thing I didn't expect was the child.
To this day, Ning Ye still doesn't know how the child was born. After much thought, she can only attribute it all to the plot—
The plot requires that the young master Bian be both morally and physically pure, and also have a child. The plot also requires her and the child to serve as a contrasting pair for the mother and child.
Dream on!
Ning Ye then opened Taobao and added some items to her shopping cart.
She stocked up on a lot of things for herself, and also a lot of things for Tao Tao.
Perhaps because of the excessive spending on the black card, Taobao started recommending increasingly expensive items to her, and she secretly felt a sense of satisfaction from it.
As she was scrolling, a small shadow suddenly fell over her head. She thought it was the team leader, but then she heard Chang Qi's voice very close by, "Ning Ye, let me see your Singles' Day shopping cart? Any good deals you can send me?"
Chang Qi was good-looking and very popular with the opposite sex in the company, so he leaned on Ning Ye's desk and stared at her phone screen without any sense of boundaries.
This is his secret weapon for getting closer to girls, and very few people would show any aversion to it.
After all, in the company, apart from the top boss who is more handsome and richer than him, his looks and abilities are already quite impressive.
Ning Ye quickly turned off her phone, slid her chair back, and at the same time, a clean and slender hand covered her phone.
Jiang Xinghe pulled Chang Qi a couple of steps away, his voice gentle: "You're always peeking at other people's web pages, that's why I put a privacy screen protector on my computer."
That one sentence defused the situation, and Chang Qi immediately jumped up and down: "I didn't—"
"What are you doing?" The department head's voice came, and everyone immediately dispersed back to their workstations. They vaguely felt that the head's voice was more stern than usual. They quietly looked up and were shocked to see a young president with a chilling aura standing behind the head.
Bian Xun's gaze was cold and precise as he watched the scene of the two men fighting.
That's fantastic!
Everyone fell silent. Chang Qi, who had been jumping up and down earlier, turned ashen-faced, hoping that Boss Bian didn't care about what was happening here.
Ning Ye shrank back, and the capitalist was unhappy again.
That's true. If employees chat during work hours, what's the difference between that and robbing them?
After finishing her work, she got up and took her thermos to get some water. After that person's appearance, all the employees were working hard, and Chang Qi didn't dare to bother her again.
As Ning Ye entered the tea room, the door behind her closed gently, and a faint, cool sandalwood scent filled the surroundings like snow.
Bian Xun's dark eyes fell on her porcelain-white nape. Her brown hair was already soft, and it hung loosely on the side of her neck as if it would break at the slightest touch. From the angle from which the man had looked down, one could see her beautiful neck bone protruding against her warm skin.
Bian Xun's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but he didn't mention what had just happened. His thin lips parted, "Have you heard?"
Ning Ye filled the hot water container, turned to look at him, and asked, "What did you hear?"
"Marriage alliance".
The man, dressed in a black suit with a gunmetal gray lining, leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. His muscles were taut beneath his clothes, and he wore a brand new, expensive watch that looked like it was about to be published. "—Have you heard?"
Ning Ye finally understood.
He even came here specifically to show off to his ex-girlfriend? Looks like the drama is really unfolding.
Holding her old thermos, she nodded calmly with her almond-shaped eyes, "Weren't you going to get married back in college?"
He tensed his jawline for a moment.
The six years that separated them were thus glossed over in a light and casual manner.
To explain, he made a special trip to the business unit for a meeting.
She doesn't care?
Ning Ye was also sizing him up. In fact, Bian Xun was not a good candidate to be a father.
Although he may change for the better many years later, he is cold-blooded and arrogant by nature. Who will suffer the pain and torment in between?
No wonder the child only says he misses him, but never actually says he wants to go see him.
She had heard from Zhi Tao that if she lived with her father, he would teach her many things, many of which she wouldn't understand.
Isn't this just "tiger parenting"?
That bastard is very likely to do it. She could even imagine what he would have the children learn on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, and what he would have them learn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; the schedule for each lesson could be planned a year in advance.
This is insane!
Bian Xun stared at her coldly for a long time, then suddenly laughed sarcastically, "Assistant Zhang also has a grape pendant hanging on your bag. It was a gift from his child. What about you?"
Ning Ye was taken aback, her delicate eyelashes fluttering almost imperceptibly.
Assistant Zhang, Zhang Sijie... It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
"They're given out for free on the street, do you want one?" she said without any hesitation.
Bian Xun stared at her silently for a long time, then stood up and made way for her at the exit of the tea room, saying, "Take me to my office after get off work."
No, you really want it?
There are still kindergarten sewing tags on it, which she has to cut off. Why would she rip someone off something that costs less than three yuan?
Ning Ye, filled with righteous indignation towards the dog-owning boss, walked out clutching her thermos, her face tense.
Back at her workstation, she tossed and turned, seething with anger. Finally, she took out her phone and used her ex-boyfriend's ID number to purchase outpatient insurance.
You can get reimbursed for the medicine; it only costs twenty yuan a month. You should really get your serious illness checked.
After purchasing the insurance, she felt relieved. Suddenly, she took out her phone to check and found that she habitually used the SIM card from Bianxun, and the number on the bottom page was "*1".
Ning Ye moved his fingers and transferred twenty yuan into his black card.
Consider it my treat.
Have some decency.
…
As Bian Xun stood in the narrow tea room, the sweet scent of sandalwood gradually dissipated, allowing his heart and lungs to slowly regain oxygen.
A sense of helplessness flickered in his eyes.
As soon as he picked up the phone, the mysterious man spent twenty yuan on him.
A few minutes later, I transferred another twenty yuan to him.
After stealing 30 million from him, he began to repay in small amounts.
Did you think he was broke?
The president was suddenly enraged and coldly dialed a number to have someone investigate the account.
Who is being humiliated?
