After Xue Bing said that, the executives began to whisper amongst themselves, shooting disdainful glances at Ye Fei and Lin Qingwan.

"You..."

Lin Qingwan was typically eloquent, but now she was so angry she could not say a word. She looked around the conference room for support, and found none.

Lin Qingwan was haughty and proud. She didn’t make friends easily and in situations like these, no one wanted to stand with her.

Of course, as a management genius, Lin Qingwan had already anticipated such a reaction. However, she was now so livid that her brain went blank and she forgot all her plans.

She felt so lonely, so helpless, like she was alone in the whole world. All the executives had disgusting smiles on their faces, like they were joking about her behind her back.

"Ah!"

Lin Qingwan felt sick. She screamed and threw the documents in her hands toward Xue Bing.

The papers dispersed in midair, and white sheets softly rained down on the heads of everyone in the conference room.

Lin Qingwan stood up on her high heels, kicked open the door of the conference room, and strode out toward the elevator.

Ye Fei, as Lin Qingwan's bodyguard, naturally followed her out.

As he left, Ye Fei snuck a glance back at Xue Bing and saw him snickering to himself. He followed Lin Qingwan into the elevator.

The conference room was silent. Everyone was stunned.

After a long while, someone whispered, "What do we do now? Manager Lin’s really pissed."

"Well, I didn't think she would be this angry."

"What should we do?"

A few of the executives were quite pleased to see Lin Qingwan blow her fuse, but they didn't want to show their true feelings in public.

Xue Bing sighed, then stood up and made a downward movement with his hands. The room went silent.

After all, Xue Bing was the original CEO, who oversaw this company for five years. He had many supporters, and even now that he was technically Lin Qingwan’s subordinate, he still commanded authority.

Satisfied with this result, Xue Bing looked around and said, "We all know Manager Lin's mood is a little unstable because of yesterday's shooting incident. I think she needs a break. I will take charge of all operations in the company for the time being. Any objections? OK. Now, let’s continue this meeting. I have a few tasks to assign."

"All right, President Xue."

No one questioned Xue Bing's leadership.

He was very pleased. Unbeknownst to anyone else, he hated Lin Qingwan.

Xue Bing had managed this company for five years. He thought he had overcome a lot of difficulties, so he didn't understand why Lin Hongyuan sent his daughter to take over and demoted Xue Bing to president.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Xue Bing pretended not to care, but he was very uncomfortable with this situation and hated Lin Qingwan for stealing his job. He always sought opportunities to be the one in charge again.

Now was his best chance.

Xue Bing thought to himself, "Lin Qingwan, you are just a twenty-year-old girl. You are naive, but I have life experience. I will hold you in my hands and you’ll work for soon enough."

He lit a cigarette, leaning back in his chair. Narrowing his eyes, he couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

In her car, Lin Qingwan was still fuming. She sat silently in the back seat.

Her mind was preoccupied with Xue Bing's words.

She involuntarily glanced at Ye Fei and felt her blood boil, "Did Xue Bing actually say Ye Fei was my boyfriend?" she thought to herself.

She was furious.

Although Ye Fei had saved her life, Lin Qingwan still looked down on him. If not for the fact that her dad, Lin Hongyuan, forced her to hire him, she would have dismissed him without a second thought.

"Where are we going, Manager Lin? Let's go to the bund, I know a quiet place with a beautiful ocean view."

"I don't want to go there. Take me home, I'll go to sleep," Lin Qingwan said coldly.

Ye Fei knew Lin Qingwan was not joking; she really wanted to go home to sleep.

When most people are in a bad mood, they drink or go shopping, or even go to a nightclub, but she just went back home to sleep.

But sleeping was good. If Lin Qingwan went out, Ye Fei would have to protect her. If she went back to the apartment, Murong could protect her there and Ye Fei could go out and do some other things.

"Manager Lin, that President Xue Bing was acting strange... In my opinion, he did something bad," Ye Fei suddenly said as he drove her back.

"Did something bad?"

Lin Qingwan straightened up. She was surprised, "Ye Fei, if you have no evidence, don’t go casually accusing people. What, do you think he was behind the shooting?"

Ye Fei frowned as he slowly explained his observations: "Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that he looked really nervous when he saw me, like he was hiding something. He tried to get rid of me, and he even quarreled with you. I think he’s suspicious."

All good snipers had eagle eyes. In the execution of their mission, not only could they see far, but they could also accurately identify the target.

Ye Fei was better at analyzing facial expressions and body language than Lin Qingwan. He had a good idea of Xue Bing’s character.

Now that Ye Fei mentioned it, Lin Qingwan started to feel that there was something strange about President Xue too. "You’re right. Even though you are a bit expensive, 50,000 Yuan a month is not that big a deal for this company. Xue Bing's reaction was indeed strange."
