Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Five minutes later.

Chen Wei saw the visitor off and, with a satisfied expression, went to Ye Yuning’s office.

She poured Ye Yuning a glass of water. "He deserved that. You have no idea how vile his words were!"

"Besides calling people bitches, what other vulgar things could he say?" Ye Yuning asked indifferently.

She’d been hearing Xiao Shuo’s vile language for days; her ears were practically calloused from it.

He was always arrogantly calling himself ’Young Master’ or ’Boss,’ or cursing others as bitches. For a member of the Xiao family, his mouth was unbelievably foul!

Chen Wei’s lips twitched. "This time, it was much worse. He knew we were the ones who messed with him last night, so he was furious!"

Recalling the curses Xiao Shuo had hurled in the office earlier, Chen Wei still felt a surge of anger, making her twitch.

But her anger had vanished now; watching Ye Yuning deal with him had been incredibly satisfying.

Hearing Chen Wei say it was much worse, Ye Yuning immediately pulled up the office surveillance footage.

She saw Xiao Shuo barge in, sweep the documents off her desk, and even drink water from her cup.

Her face instantly darkened with rage!

Just as Chen Wei had said, it was far nastier than before. He’d brought the vulgar, lewd talk from nightclubs into the office; it was disgusting and repulsive.

Massaging her forehead, she said, "I shouldn’t have held back just now. I should have smashed his mouth in...!"

Showed mercy? Chen Wei thought. From what I saw, his mouth looked pretty wrecked already, didn’t it?

"Did you explain things clearly to Assistant Lai? He won’t cause us any trouble, will he?"

He was from the Xiao family, after all, so Ye Yuning naturally had some reservations.

She had been too furious earlier. Now that the adrenaline had subsided, she felt a twinge of apprehension.

Chen Wei nodded. "I explained everything. Assistant Lai said that Mr. Seven is a reasonable man!"

As for how he was reasonable, she had no idea.

But with the Liwangou project concluded, as long as their studio didn’t lose money, she wasn’t too worried for Ye Yuning.

Ye Yuning didn’t continue the conversation.

Glancing at the desk Xiao Shuo had kicked, she said with disgust, "Replace everything that rotten bastard touched."

"Yes!" Chen Wei nodded.

Having given her instructions, Ye Yuning picked up her laptop, intending to go to the conference room.

Just as she turned to leave, Chen Wei asked again, "Um, Assistant Lai asked about the Nanjia Peak project earlier. He wanted to know if he could discuss it with you tomorrow?"

Ye Yuning frowned, the image of Xiao Shuo’s arrogance in her office earlier flashing through her mind.

Then she recalled Xiao Yi, the Third Master, who previously managed the Xiao Corporation.

After a moment’s thought, she said, "Just tell him the studio is too busy right now. They should find someone else."

The implication was clear: no more cooperation.

The Second Master and Third Master were cut from the same cloth; could Mr. Seven be any better?

After the confrontation with Xiao Shuo, and considering the previous Liwangou project, Ye Yuning subconsciously wanted no further dealings with the Xiao Corporation.

Chen Wei understood her meaning and nodded. "Alright, I’ll tell him that."

Ye Yuning hummed in acknowledgment and walked out of the office.

「 」

Lai Shuo let Xiao Shuo limp along behind him as they left Manlang Studio, not offering any help whatsoever.

Xiao Shuo had been beaten badly today. Combined with his injuries from the previous night, every step he took was agonizing.

The moment he got into the car, his emotions erupted.

"That bitch! HSSS...!" he hissed, the movement pulling at the cut on his lip, making him suck in a sharp breath of cold air.

That barrage of blows earlier... Not only was his body bruised, but his face had also been struck several times with a belt. Without a mirror, he had no idea what a frightful mess he looked.

Recalling Chen Wei’s words, Lai Shuo shot him a cold glance. "If Young Master Three doesn’t want to end up in the Sahara, you’d better watch your conduct!"

"What? You actually believe that bitch assistant? Look at the state I’m in!"

Xiao Shuo was about to explode with rage.

He hadn’t said a single word about the Qin family affairs and got beaten up like this! Who exactly needed to watch their conduct?

Lai Shuo gripped the steering wheel, not responding.

He only said gravely, "We have a new potential collaboration with Boss Ye that hasn’t been finalized. If your actions jeopardize this cooperation, are you prepared to explain yourself to Mr. Seven?"

"There are so many studios in Upper City. Do we absolutely have to work with her?"

"No, we can’t!"

Xiao Shuo was speechless. He was beaten to this state by Ye Yuning, and they still expected him to cooperate?

The memory of the filthy toilet water bucket from the previous night made him feel nauseous all over again.

Throughout the drive, he kept ranting about how lowly Ye Yuning’s status was, his incessant complaints disgusting Lai Shuo to the point of speechlessness.

Lai Shuo ignored him for the entire journey, dropped him off at the Xiao family residence, reported everything to Xiao Li, and then left.

Xiao Li was already overwhelmed by the issue of returning company shares.

When he learned that Xiao Shuo had provoked the very person Xiao Linye had first taken the initiative to partner with, he was so enraged he kicked Xiao Shuo several times.

His already injured leg gave a sickening CRACK and twisted completely.

Immediately after, Xiao Shuo’s agonizing wails echoed throughout the entire villa...!
