Chapter 432: So It Turns Out That We Have The Same Thinking

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xuxu, who had walked out with him, was in a state of shock. Was this fellow insane again?

Why did he ask all the servants to leave all of a sudden?

Third Young Master’s words were like an imperial edict. Once he had spoken, no one dared to challenge but merely nodded their heads in concert and answered with a ‘yes’ even though they were bewildered by their sudden laid off.

When everyone had left, perplexed to her wits, Xuxu walked over to Yan Rusheng and asked, “Why did you give them the pink slip all of a sudden?”

Yan Rusheng looked at him and knitted his eyebrows. “Didn’t you say before that there were too many servants in this house?”

Xuxu was dumbfounded.

But she didn’t say that they should be laid off.

Though, somehow she knew for sure that this wasn’t the reason for laying off the servants… There must be more to this than meets the eye.

Yan Rusheng added, “Aunt Zhang is getting on in years. Moving forward, you’ll need to assist her with the household chores.”

Was he planning not to hire any more servants?

Aunt Zhang usually only took charge of cooking of meals, and the rest of the chores were handled by the servants. So does he mean that she had to manage all the household chores in the future?

So, this meant that she had to go to the office in the day and returned home at night to be the housekeeper and servant?

Was this his purpose for sacking all the servants? To come up with some ways to torture her?

As Xuxu tried to analyze the situation according to her own logic, her voice choked with emotions.

“Yan Rusheng, I want to rip open your heart to take a look.”

To see what was on his mind and what exactly wanted.

In the presence of outsiders, he was burning with passion for her. But when it’s just them, he was cold and heartless.

He had done so many heartwarming things for her behind her back, and just when her passion was set aflame, he always had to pour cold water on her.

She found him unpredictable and difficult to understand.

She didn’t have the courage to advance further, yet couldn’t bear to retreat either.

Xuxu averted her cold stare from Yan Rusheng’s face, turned around and headed for the second floor.

Actually, handling household chores is nothing too difficult for her.

If she sees it in a new light, it simply meant that she was just doing the household chores just like what the rest of the women are doing in their families. If they can handle it, why can’t she?

“Wen Xuxu, so it turns out that we have the same thinking.”

Yan Rusheng’s cold voice sounded in the background.

So, it turned out that both of them wanted to take a peek at each other’s heart.

After hearing what he said, Xuxu’s expression merely froze for a moment and continued heading for the second floor.

…

It was already the year-end and everyone in the office were busier than usual.

Xuxu had just sat down on her seat when her assistant came over with a huge pile of work for her.

“Leave it here. I’ll go to my meeting first.”

She put down her bag and instructed her assistant before hurrying to the conference room with the meeting documents in hand.

It was a small scale meeting with the PR and other related departments, discussing the Christmas program.

All the related department heads were already waiting in the conference room. When they saw Xuxu entering, they greeted her one after another.

“Sister Xuxu.”

Wen Xuxu nodded at them and sat down. The PR Department Person-in-Charge placed a document in front of her. “Sister, this is the workflow and progress for the past few days.”

Xuxu took it and glanced through while she spoke, “Let’s cut the long story short.”

A huge pile of work was waiting for her to handle.

Xuxu looked at the document, and her face turned dark. She turned to look at the person from the PR department who handed over the document and frowned. “Why wasn’t the outdoor shoot carried out yesterday?”

Chapter 433: Enraged

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The person replied, “There were some changes to Zhou Tong’s schedule, and she was overseas.”

Slam. Xuxu closed her documents and flung them hard onto the conference table.

This Zhou Tong was getting more rampant.

The atmosphere in the conference room turned freezing cold in a split second. This was the first time where everyone felt a tremendous amount of stress in a meeting hosted by Xuxu. Even their breathing was cautious.

Xuxu stood up and furiously left and bought the documents along with her.

Back to the office, she walked straight to Yan Rusheng’s office. Without knocking on his door, she twisted the doorknob, pushed the door open and walked in.

The man was seated serenely on his luxurious swivel chair, sipping his coffee and reading the newspapers.

Xuxu was filled with inexplicable anger. She was working her socks off while he was idling and enjoying himself.

She walked over and threw the documents she was holding in front of Yan Rusheng. “Yan Rusheng, you take charge of the Christmas event yourself.”

Yan Rusheng’s hand which was holding the coffee—momentarily trembled—causing the coffee to swirl in the cup.

He raised his head and frowned slightly. “Wen Xuxu, have you gone crazy early in the morning?”

As the door to his office was left open, he tried to lower down his voice as much as possible.

He was curious with what caused Xuxu to explode with rage as she had always been a tolerant and self-controlled person.

Xuxu raised her voice again. “I’m unable to wait upon the big shot that you’ve engaged. You can serve her yourself.”

After yelling at him, she spun around and left. Deng deng deng. The thudding sounds of her foot-steps revealed her current fury and frustration.

“The big shot that he had engaged?” Yan Rusheng knitted his thick eyebrows, and he was truly baffled to an extent. He lowered his eyes at the documents which Xuxu had flung onto the table and saw the label on it… Christmas Event.

And he suddenly realized… “Zhou Tong!”

Yan Rusheng immediately gave a call to the PR Department to understand the situation. He found out that Xuxu was raging because Zhou Tong had altered the outdoor shoot schedule without permission.

But what’s this got to do with him?

Why did she lose her temper at him? As the President of Flourish & Prosper, must he also get involved in his company’s commercial shoot?

Thinking back on the wrath on Xuxu’s face, he stifled a laugh.

“I’m unable to wait upon the big shot that you’ve engaged. You can serve her yourself…”

Not many people could provoke Xuxu to that extent. Even towards those women that he had flings in the past, no matter how difficult it was to deal with them, she was able to handle them effortlessly and patiently. She had never once lost her cool.

But towards Zhou Tong… was it because he had insisted on replacing Chen Yuxi?

Hmph. It better be this, otherwise, he wouldn’t let her off lightly. How could she have the audacity and courage to flare at him early in the morning?

Yan Rusheng called the PR Department again and instructed them to get in touch with Zhou Tong. If she didn’t come back at once for the outdoor shoot, he would not hesitate to replace her even if it meant a breach of their contract.

No celebrity had ever behaved so arrogantly towards Flourish & Prosper.

Furthermore, she had enraged his wife.

Her mood had been wrecked early in the morning and for the rest of the day, she was in a bad mood. Xuxu pulled a long face the entire day and coupled with the morning flare-up, the atmosphere in the office wasn’t pretty as well.

In the afternoon, she held a cup of hot water and sat at her table, frowning in pain.

“Sister Xuxu, this is the report that you requested.” Mi Ling handed her a set of documents and was astonished when she saw her face. “Sister Xuxu, why do you look so pale?”

Xuxu shook her head lightly. “I’m alright.”

She put down her cup of water and took the documents from Mi Ling.

Mi Ling responded with an ‘Oh’ but was still concerned. “But you really look as pale as a sheet. Why don’t you take a rest?”
