Chapter 237

That feeling was as if he still was the noble young master high above in the mansion, and she was just an insignificant adopted daughter.

Seeing him staring at her as if he wanted to devour her, she hurriedly explained, "Today... I drove away because my car ran out of fuel. By the time I refueled and returned, the security told me you had already left."

Refuel?

The man, devoid of emotion, upon hearing this, his scorn and coldness deepened in his eyes, "An Ning, do you think I’ve been too lenient with you recently? So much so that you’ve forgotten who you are?"

"What?" Ye Ning didn’t understand.

What did he mean by that? She just mentioned refueling; why would he accuse her of forgetting her place due to leniency?

Moreover, has he ever been lenient toward her?

Ye Ning’s frown deepened, "Mucen, if you don’t believe me, you can ask around to see if I really went to get gas."

Is that necessary?

Ou Mucen simply didn’t deign to discuss the matter with her anymore. The gas station was at the intersection on the way back to town. If she really ran out of fuel, would she be foolish enough to go there and then turn back? noveldrama

Insane!

Without another look at her, he returned to his desk with a steel-grey face, pulled out more than a dozen documents from the pile, and threw them on the desk: "Go get these things done, within an hour, and then go to the airport to pick up people."

Ye Ning was stunned for a moment and took some time to react before she quickly came over.

"This is..."

"Do I need to teach you how?"

After only saying two words, the man who had already opened his computer and appeared to be in a bad mood, looked up and interrupted her coldly.

Ye Ning dared not ask any further, took the pile of documents, and hurriedly left.

Luckily, Xiaochen was outside. Having worked here for so long, she knew that everything Ye Ning took out needed to be done by Secretary Gao before and immediately started giving instructions: "This belongs to the advertising department, this is public relations, and this one is for the sales division... An Ning, you’ve got your work cut out for you..."

Ye Ning: "..."

Saying nothing, she quickly went downstairs with the documents!

It turned out he wanted her to do the work that Secretary Gao used to do; it made sense, with Secretary Gao not around, these tasks naturally fell to her.

So the entire afternoon, she was incessantly busy, either supervising the president’s office work with various departments or picking up people at the airport, then arranging various schedules and meeting with clients, so busy she didn’t even have time for a sip of water.

It wasn’t until six o’clock that she finally returned to the company.

Back at the office, she initially intended to leave for the day—it was already six o’clock, and she needed to pick up Xiaobao—but unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw that the man, who usually wasn’t in the office at this time, was still inside.

"Mucen, haven’t you left work yet?"

Ou Mucen, in front of the computer, glanced toward her upon her return.

She was wearing a lotus-root pink dress that day, with a design that wasn’t overly complicated, simple and elegant. But her complexion and hair seemed a bit disheveled and tired, perhaps from the busy afternoon, and there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead.

However, it didn’t affect the brilliance of her star-like eyes.

Ou Mucen’s gaze returned to the photo on the laptop screen...

That was the civil affairs bureau director’s recent message to him, containing all the detailed information he had requested, including some preserved photos.
