Bai Xue was very dissatisfied. She said, “Li Yan, what are you doing? Did 1 do something wrong? Why are you removing your assistant’s bonus and firing the receptionist?”

Li Yan glanced at Bai Xue, his mind in turmoil. His girlfriend had always been like this. Despite doing something wrong, she would never admit it. She would even put on a pitiful expression, as if she had been bullied.

He said blandly, “You really don’t know?”

Bai Xue wasn’t stupid. She knew her boyfriend was angry. She could only act sheepishly to coax him. “Li Yan, I came over because 1 missed you so much. 1 just didn’t expect that man to be so petty.”

Li Yan said mockingly, “Director Zhou is petty because he doesn’t want to eat with you?”

Bai Xue’s expression was frigid. She said, “Li Yan, that’s not what 1 mean. Please don’t be angry. You’re scaring me.”

Li Yan sighed helplessly and said, “Didn’t my assistant tell you that I’m very busy today and won’t be able to accompany you?”

Bai Xue took out her phone and said, “I didn’t read the message.”

Li Yan said angrily, “Bai Xue, can you stop lying for once? 1 asked my assistant to talk to you in person. You should know I’m busy even if you didn’t look at your phone.”

Bai Xue panicked and said, “Li Yan, what… do you mean?”

Li Yan said in contempt, “I just want to understand why you keep lying to me.”

Bai Xue’s eyes filled with tears. “Isn’t it because I love you? You’re treating me like this because of a white lie.”

Li Yan was so angry that he laughed. He said, “1 asked my assistant to inform you three hours in advance.”

Bai Xue was flustered, and her tears flowed out. She said, “Just because you’re with a client, you don’t want me to come over? Are you embarrassed of me?”

Seeing Bai Xue crying, Li Yan felt disgusted for the first time. He said coldly, “Director Zhou clearly doesn’t like you. Why did you have to force it? You have already offended him, yet you still think that you did nothing wrong?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Xue felt humiliated, and tears kept streaming down her face. “Li Yan, why are you like this?”

Li Yan looked at Bai Xue’s aggrieved expression. He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he said, “I want to be alone. Please leave.”

Bai Xue said in a panic, “Li Yan, what are you trying to say? Are you breaking up with me?”

Li Yan was stunned. He thought inwardly, ‘Break up? I’ve never thought about it. But if things continue like this…’

He said, “I just want to be alone for a while.”

He looked at Bai Xue with a blank expression. He felt angry and sad at the same time. He asked himself, ‘Was 1 blind all this time? Where did the sensible and intelligent Bai Xue go?’

He asked, “Do you know how important this client is to me? You keep talking about my promise to have lunch with you, but have you forgotten that my assistant has already told you that I’m very busy today? Because of your brainless behavior, Director Zhou was offended and probably won’t want to collaborate with my company.”

Bai Xue’s eyes were filled with tears as she said, “Li Yan, don’t be angry, okay? 1 just wanted to spend time with you. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. How about this? Give me his contact information. I’ll try to talk to him.”

Li Yan retorted sarcastically, “You want to negotiate with Director Zhou? Do you think he is Jiang Jun?”

At the mention of Jiang Jun, Bai Xue was so flustered that her expression became ugly.

Li Yan felt awkward. Every time he recalled the fact that Jiang Jun had helped Bai Xue get admitted to the school through the back door, he felt a thorn pricking his heart.

Bai Xue was terrified of Li Yan’s cold gaze. She thought for a moment, bit her lip, and said, “Li Yan, let me try to negotiate with Director Zhou. Maybe I can do something.”

Li Yan mocked her, “What qualifications do you have to negotiate with him? Jiang Jun likes you, so he will do everything to please you.. But what about Director Zhou? Why would he want to talk to you? Do you think he will change his mind because of you?”
