Chapter 4 Why Did You Leave While I Was Asleep?

  • "It's not..." Lin Fei quickly shook her head, "it's because of some personal matters..."
  • The general secretary recalled the instructions from that person and said seriously, "But you have already signed a probationary contract, so the company can only dismiss you. You can't resign at will. Otherwise, you will have to pay three months of liquidated damages."
  • "This..." Lin Fei was surprised. She had never heard of such a tyrannical contract before.
  • She thought that as long as she explained in advance, she could resign.
  • Seeing Lin Fei's surprised expression, the general secretary couldn't help but sneer.
  • "Our M.Y company has always been a large enterprise, and now it has been acquired by the Jiang family. Our status is even more extraordinary. Every position is important, and you can't just come and go as you please!"
  • "Then..." Lin Fei gritted her teeth, "If I am dismissed due to my abilities, do I still need to pay the liquidated damages?"
  • The general secretary frowned, "No, you don't need to."
  • Lin Fei nodded and left. As soon as she sat down at her desk, she was instructed to go to the CEO's office to deliver coffee.
  • Lin Fei wanted to refuse, but when she saw the busy secretariat because of the arrival of the new CEO, she could only swallow her refusal.
  • She wondered, if she encountered any problems while delivering the coffee, would she be dismissed?
  • With this thought in mind, she went to the pantry with full motivation, brewed a cup of coffee, and then brought it to the CEO's office.
  • The tall and upright man was sitting on the sofa, flipping through documents. Unlike before, when he was lazy or fierce, Jiang Yihan now had a touch of seriousness and earnestness.
  • His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, exuding the aura of a superior due to his long-standing high position. He was imposing even when not angry.
  • Lin Fei felt more and more nervous as she approached the coffee table.
  • Not only because she felt guilty, but also because of the man's compelling presence.
  • "Mr... Mr. CEO, your coffee..."
  • As she spoke, she was about to place the coffee on the table, but unintentionally, her hand trembled and the cup, along with the coffee, spilled all over Jiang Yihan's thigh.
  • "Hiss..." Although Jiang Yihan quickly avoided it, a large portion of the liquid still splashed onto his leg.
  • "I'm... I'm sorry..." Lin Fei quickly grabbed a tissue from the coffee table and wiped the liquid off his pants.
  • In the moment of lowering her head, her heart was both nervous and expectant. She silently prayed in her heart, begging him to dismiss her quickly!
  • Before Lin Fei's hand could touch his pants, it was grabbed by the man. In an instant, everything seemed to spin, and she fell onto the man's lap.
  • Lin Fei was startled and was about to struggle to get up when the man's deep and sharp gaze fell upon her. His voice was low and ambiguous, "Did you do it on purpose? Hm?"
  • A warm breath brushed against her ear, and Lin Fei instantly tensed up, feeling a rush of heat throughout her body. She stammered, "No, it's not..."
  • Coincidentally, Han Li pushed open the door and happened to see his own third young master, who was rumored to be uninterested in women, in an ambiguous position, teasing a young girl...?
  • He was momentarily stunned, but then calmly walked in, focusing on his own thoughts. He respectfully said, "Third Young Master, this is the financial department's report for the past five years, and also..."
  • "Leave," Jiang Yihan coldly interrupted.
  • "I, I'll leave now..." Lin Fei hurriedly got up, but found that the man's strong arm was tightly holding her, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free...
  • Meanwhile, Han Li, whose report was interrupted, put down the financial report and turned to leave the office, considerately closing the door behind him.
  • ...
  • Lin Fei was on the verge of tears. Even if he could tell that she did it on purpose, he didn't have to punish her like this!
  • Whether it was the forced incident four years ago or the intimate physical contact now, she really didn't want to have any involvement with this man anymore.
  • Moreover, she had personally witnessed how ruthless and merciless this man could be!
  • Lost in her thoughts, she heard the man next to her emit a hint of amusement in his throat, his words filled with meaning, "Do you really want to escape from me that badly?"
  • "???" Lin Fei was completely confused by his words. Bruises had already appeared on her wrist from the man's tight grip, and she didn't even dare to look up at him. She could only stammer, trembling.
  • "I, I didn't... I don't know how I ended up being accepted here, with you in front and me behind... A person should keep their promises..."
  • "What a lack of integrity!"
  • The man's eyes narrowed, and his arm tightened even more, pressing her soft body against his chest. He was already tall, and his dominant position exerted a strong sense of oppression. Lin Fei was so scared that she turned her head away, her heart pounding. Then she heard his magnetic voice whisper in her ear.
  • "Four years ago, why did you slip away while I was sleeping?"
  • "Were you afraid that I wouldn't take responsibility? Were you afraid that I wouldn't keep my promises? Or... do you not want to take responsibility?"
  • The aggressive male hormone scent lingered in the air, causing Lin Fei to tremble and panic, unsure of which question to answer. In her desperation, she blurted out what she truly wanted to say.
  • "I... I never wanted you to take responsibility, I never agreed... agreed to your demands, how can I trust you? If you have any objections towards me, you can fire me immediately!"
  • As her words fell, the entire office fell into a suffocating silence.
  • Then, a suspicious flush seemed to appear on the man's ears, and he quickly released her hand, his cool and thin voice tinged with imperceptible annoyance. "Get out!"
  • Lin Fei felt a wave of relief in her heart and quickly stood up from his embrace, not daring to look back at the man behind her, and hurriedly ran out.
  • Watching her hurried departure, Jiang Yihan's expression became increasingly unpleasant. He waved his hand, causing the items on the desk to crash to the ground.
  • Immediately after, he pressed the intercom and spoke in a cold voice, "Come in!"
  • Han Li, who received the call, trembled violently, but still obediently went to the CEO's office.
  • As soon as he pushed the door open, an ashtray was fiercely thrown towards his head.
  • Han Li's body stiffened, and between dodging or not, he instinctively chose the former, only to hear a loud bang as the ashtray shattered into pieces.
  • Clearly, San Shao was truly angry...
  • Han Li cursed silently, realizing that he should not have dodged earlier.
  • However, it was too late for regrets...
  • Jiang Yihan glared at him with sharp eyes, sneering coldly, "You have a lot of nerve! How dare you bring someone into my presence? It appears that my office is too small for you!"
  • "I..." Han Li felt a cold sweat forming on his forehead. It was his decision to bring Lin Fei along, but wasn't that what San Shao wanted? After their blind date, he seemed quite pleased!
  • Why did he suddenly change his mind in just a few minutes?
