Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her
Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Ye Yuning had just finished a cup of coffee in her studio when Chen Wei walked in, her expression grave.

Ye Yuning set down her coffee cup and raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong?"

Chen Wei placed a folder on the desk and immediately began to complain about the Xiao Corporation. "After much persuasion, that assistant, Yang Huan, promised to help inquire. But she just messaged back saying President Xiao won’t see anyone! Also, she said..."

"What else did she say?" Ye Yuning frowned.

"She also said," Chen Wei added, "she almost got fired because of this."

Almost got fired for such a small thing?

Ye Yuning’s breath hitched, and her already low opinion of this rumored ’Seventh Master’ worsened. If it hadn’t been for the fact that we were tricked when signing the contract with the Xiao Corporation, why would we be kowtowing to this lord now?

Before Ye Yuning could speak, Chen Wei continued, "Moreover, several of our partners have already received termination letters from the Xiao Corporation, and they don’t even dare to ask for breach of contract compensation."

This just showed how formidable the new President of Xiao Corporation was. He initiated the terminations, and the other parties didn’t even dare ask for compensation!

Hearing this, Ye Yuning understood the gravity of the situation. She took a shallow breath and asked through gritted teeth, "What’s President Xiao’s phone number?"

"We don’t have it at the moment. Should I go look it up?"

"Go check!"

A headache began to throb in Ye Yuning’s temples.

She swore to herself that once the Liwangou project was successfully concluded, she would never work with them again. What strange quirks they had, so difficult to please!

Chen Wei left.

Ye Yuning’s mind was in turmoil.

She opened her computer, navigated directly to the Xiao Corporation’s design package, and opened the 3D model of Liwangou. Then, she meticulously compared it with the draft she had previously submitted to the Xiao Corporation.

「Ten minutes later.」

The studio’s Design Director, Chief Designer Lei An, and Ma Di were summoned to the office.

"President Ye, you were looking for us?"

Ye Yuning turned her laptop towards them and then handed them the design schematics. "Tell me, do you think our draft was rejected this time because of an issue with the parking lot?"

"This...?"

Ye Yuning continued, "Liwangou is a park project with mountainous terrain, not a large-scale tourist area, so there won’t be any sightseeing vehicles. If the parking lot is too far, it would be quite strenuous for visitors, whether they’re walking or using pedal-powered vehicles."

Ye Yuning had carefully analyzed the topography. After much thought, she suspected the planned location of the parking lot was the problem.

Lei An and Ma Di immediately took the documents and examined them, then looked at the topographical map on the computer.

Honestly, the draft itself was perfectly executed! But after a careful comparison with the Liwangou terrain, the parking lot’s placement indeed seemed unreasonable.

Ma Di glanced at Lei An. "So, is our previous revision void? Should we modify the parking lot now and try submitting it again?"

Lei An nodded. "Let’s try that first."

The Liwangou design was a collaborative effort among them. Before submission, it had seemed flawless, with every detail meticulously planned. So, when this draft was rejected, they too felt that any subsequent modifications had been unsatisfactory.

Just as Ma Di and Lei An were leaving, a commotion erupted outside.

Chen Wei was trying to stop someone. "You can’t just barge in! If you continue, I’m calling the police!"

Despite Chen Wei’s forceful attempts to block them, Ye Yuning’s office door was pushed open with a BANG!

The intruders were Ye Shilong’s personal driver and bodyguard.

The two men looked menacing. Chen Wei, her expression troubled, turned to Ye Yuning and asked, "President Ye, should I call the police?"

"No need. You can go out," Ye Yuning said.

Chen Wei looked at her, still worried, but Ye Yuning didn’t want to elaborate and simply waved her hand dismissively.

Seeing this, Chen Wei could only step out, though she remained by the door, listening intently to the sounds from within, not daring to leave.

Ye Yuning looked at the driver, thought for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Your surname is Zhang, right?"

It sounded almost ridiculous! Zheng Cai had always claimed to have raised her for so many years, yet Ye Yuning was unfamiliar with almost everyone and everything concerning the Ye family.

The driver, looking displeased, glanced at her. "Miss, the Master has sent us to bring you home!"

He said "bring," but his tone was anything but gentle.

"What if I don’t go back?" Ye Yuning asked. "Are you planning to kidnap me?"

Seeing her directness, the driver’s gaze sharpened. "You know we don’t want to resort to that, Miss!"

"So you’re still prepared to, right?" A slight smile played on Ye Yuning’s lips.

The driver and the bodyguard were both taken aback, clearly not expecting her to remain so composed at such a moment.

The driver didn’t speak, but his stance was telling.

Ye Yuning set down her pen. As she looked up, her eyes turned sharp. "Do you really think you can kidnap me?"

"Miss, the Master is very angry today," the driver stated gravely.

Ye Yuning scoffed. "Do you know why I was able to come to the studio this afternoon? It’s because the Qin Family doesn’t dare to trouble me."

The Qin Family doesn’t dare?

This statement made the driver hesitate again, not quite believing her words. But seeing her standing there, completely unharmed, he knew the Qin Family hadn’t approached her. Such a major incident, and the Qin Family hadn’t sought her out? Could it be true, as she said, that they didn’t dare?!

Before the driver could process it, Ye Yuning, right in front of him, dialed Ye Shilong’s number.

The call connected quickly, and Ye Shilong’s displeased voice came through. "How rare for you to actually call back!"

"That one with you... his surname is Song, right?" Ye Yuning asked. Her voice was casual, yet the moment her words landed, the breathing on the other end of the line grew noticeably heavier.

Listening to the increasingly labored breaths, a smirk touched Ye Yuning’s lips. "Are your men going to leave on their own, or do I need to do something to make them go?"
