Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

The office had a minimalist style, with clean windows and a white woolen carpet underfoot. High heels made no sound as they stepped on it, creating an eerie silence.

The atmosphere was so quiet it felt like a tomb, suffocating, and this intangible pressure seemed to weigh heavily on Liu Yi’s shoulders with each step she took.

“President Shen, Manager Choi…” The woman lowered her head and stood about two meters away from the desk.

“Liu Yi, the Assistant Director?” Shen Wan raised an eyebrow.

Choi Yun appeared slightly surprised, her gaze on Liu Yi taking on a thoughtful tone. It was worth noting that among the six people who had entered before, Shen Wan hadn’t initiated the conversation herself, leaving it to Choi Yun to handle.

But now…

Could it be that Liu Yi had something special about her?

Choi Yun couldn’t help but focus, perking up her ears to analyze every word of their conversation, trying to glean useful information while also observing the expressions and demeanor of both parties.

“You’re late.”

“That’s because…”

“The reason doesn’t matter,” Shen Wan interrupted her. “I’ve always been the type to only look at results. Being late is being late, even if you come up with a thousand excuses, it won’t change that fact.”

“So, are you going to fire me for this reason next, just like those few people before…” Liu Yi slowly raised her head, a hint of mocking curve at the corner of her lips, as if saying—relying on your authority to dictate life and death, that’s all you can do.

Shen Wan showed no hint of annoyance, and there was even a faint smile on her face. “That’s a good suggestion, indeed, a very good reason.”

Liu Yi was taken aback, and in the next moment, she was informed

“From this moment on, you are no longer an employee of Mingya. Yes, you are fired.”

Simple, blunt, and straight to the point.

Not only did Liu Yi go blank, but Choi Yun was also momentarily stunned. “Why? Is there a company rule that says being late results in termination? President Shen, Mingya isn’t solely under your authority. Everyone is still watching outside. Are you sure you want to run it alone?” After the initial panic subsided, Liu Yi became increasingly composed.

“What if it’s not just about being late?” Shen Wan lightly chuckled, her gaze unwavering in the face of the threat.

“What do you mean?”

“Colluding with Cheng Xiao’ou, selling advertising ideas to competitors, double-dealing, and damaging the company’s interests. Is that enough?”

Liu Yi’s figure swayed slightly, but she clenched her teeth and denied, “This is slander! Do you have any evidence?!”

Shen Wan shook her head with regret. “I don’t…”

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, the heart that had just relaxed was instantly raised to her throat, because

“I don’t have evidence, but Cheng Xiao’ou does. She has meticulously documented every income you and the others have earned through betraying the company—when, where, and what roles you played are all detailed here.” Shen Wan tapped her fingers on the folder on her desk.

Liu Yi felt like she had been struck by lightning. No…it couldn’t be…

Cheng Xiao’ou had no reason to do this. She had been involved herself, so she had no reason to cut Liu Yi’s escape route. But Shen Wan’s expression didn’t seem fake….
