Strong Female Side Character Awakens

Chapter 162: Me, Do You Like?

As Xu Zhong was being escorted out by the security guards, the air around them was frozen once again.

Everyone looked at Ye Qingran in fear. On her handsome and young face, there was a murderous aura that was different from that of her age.

She was clearly just a teenager, but she could give people a strong sense of oppression.

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows and looked at the crowd.

A cold and solemn aura surrounded her, it instantly engulfed everyone. “Everyone who has been involved in Project 0315, stop what you are doing immediately and complete all the missing information on Project 0315 before you get off work today. Otherwise, I will fire everyone. Remember, it’s everyone.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

A few people’s faces changed drastically. They did not dare to sit still anymore and quickly got up to look for all the information on Project 0315 to recompile it.

A “Ding Dong” sound came from not far away.

The elevator door slowly opened and Ye Jun walked out with a solemn expression.

Ye Qingran turned around and glanced at him. She took the documents and turned around to enter Xu Zhong’s office.

Ye Jun naturally followed her in as well.

Although his face looked dark and gloomy, he did not swear like before.

He only asked Ye Qingran, “What’s going on?”

If it was before, he might subconsciously think that it was Ye Qingran causing problems.

But recently, Ye Qingran’s change made him subconsciously think that today’s matter should be Xu Zhong’s problem.

In fact, no matter whose problem it was, he would definitely support his son.

Ye Qingran did not say anything. She just pushed the document over to Ye Jun. .

Ye Jun stared at the document for a while before his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

As if he was not too sure, he went back and looked at it again. The two sets of data were compared several times before he slapped the table hard.

“I was wondering why you wanted to see the project’s information, and even needed my approval. So it turned out that you managed to catch this.”

The data and accounts were done perfectly.

If he didn’t compare them back and forth, he wouldn’t have been able to find anything wrong with them at a glance.

It was fortunate that Old Fourth had been extra careful.

In the beginning, he only wanted Old Fourth to sit here and put some pressure on everyone. He didn’t think that he would really be able to achieve anything.

Now, it seemed that it wouldn’t be a problem to hand the project over to him.

Ye Jun handed the matter over to Ye Qingran and left.

As he passed by the work area, he coldly said to everyone, “Regarding the matter of Xu Zhong being fired, if you have any objections, leave together.”

Everyone’s bodies stiffened. They didn’t dare to have any objections and buried themselves in their work.

One or two of them were even more diligent and efficient than before.

Project 0315 was restarted very quickly. The supervisor and a few project managers recovered all the data that could be recovered at the fastest speed and passed it to Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran looked through it and still felt that there was something wrong.

However, this problem was not about the data anymore. Instead, it was about the hedging of the projects. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like a trap.

She found a few key areas and got people to carry out relevant investigations and adjustments.

After dealing with this matter, they held a meeting to decide on a few other projects.

After a few days, Ye Qingran’s reputation had changed drastically.

In private, there were even people who called her the two-faced little demon king.

She was even scarier than the workaholic Ye Hanzhi.

When she was not working, she was an adorable and cute young man. She looked very pleasing to the eyes.

However, when she was working, not only was she very professional, fast and efficient, but she was also cold and ruthless.

Originally, many people thought that they could just simply do the year-end work and get by somehow.

But now, no one dared to slack or fool her.

There were many employees who had already took leave, and began to go back to their hometowns for the New Years.

On New Year’s Eve, the company began to go on holiday.

Ye Chenfeng and Song Ye had both returned, but Ye Hanzhi was still abroad.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone sat in the living room and watched the New Years Gala.

Ye Qingran watched for a while, then got up and went to the bedroom. She started to reply to everyone’s messages, giving and receiving red packets. She wished everyone a Happy New Year’s Eve.

She also sent Chu Yan a message: Happy New Year’s Eve

Chu Yan called her directly, and Ye Qingran quickly picked up. “Brother, have you had your reunion dinner?”

After asking, she immediately regretted it.

Chu Yan grew up in the Chu family, and he always thought that his uncle was his father, and that Ruoruo was his biological sister. It was only in Junior High that he found out the truth.

Later on, he returned to the Chu family.

But she heard from Chu Ruoruo that they didn’t get along well.

She reckoned that he would not attend the reunion dinner or anything similar.

Chu Yan just responded indifferently, “En.” As usual, no one could tell what were his emotions.

Ye Qingran smiled and kept the atmosphere relaxed. “Master Chu Yan, shouldn’t you give a New Year’s gift to this kid?”

Chu Yan replied, “I’ll send it to you later.”

Ye Qingran said, “Don’t forget. Also, He Cizhou, when you see him, you must remember to tell him that he must give kids a New Year’s gift. Otherwise, he’s not allowed to call me a kid in the future…”

Chu Yan chuckled. “What a little money-grubber.”

Ye Qingran pretended to be sad. “The money that can be cheated must be cheated. Moreover, my father is very stingy. He only gave me 200 yuan for the New Year’s gift. He’s really stingy. I just went to the class chat group to take a look and all of them got big red packets. I reckon that no one has gotten a lower New Year’s gift than me. This father of mine isn’t too good…”

Chu Yan listened to her quietly and occasionally replied a few sentences.

Time passed very quickly. It was almost 12 o’clock when Chu Yan suddenly said, “I’ll give you a New Year’s gift now.”

Ye Qingran was looking forward to it. “What gift? Can you take a photo and show it to me first?”

Chu Yan did not say anything. There were some small sounds coming from the phone.

Ye Qingran thought that Chu Yan was preparing to take a photo. Suddenly, a melodious sound entered her ears like a gentle breeze.

She was shocked and asked happily, “Who’s playing the violin?”

Chu Yan answered, “Me.”

He paused and asked again, “Do you like?”

“I do.”

Ye Qingran was on the bed with her phone by her side. She turned on the speakerphone and closed her eyes, listening to the beautiful music of the violin.

She was unconsciously intoxicated by it.

On this festive night, she seemed to sense a touch of nostalgia in the melodious music. It was like a murmuring stream or a hazy veil in a dream..

Ye Qingran did not know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sky was already bright.

The morning sun shone through the folds of the curtains and fell warmly on the house.

On the first day of the New Years, the sun was bright and beautiful. It made people feel extremely happy on this joyous day.

Ye Qingran stretched and immediately remembered last night. She quickly turned over to look for her phone. The screen lit up and she realized that the call was still going on.

She was surprised and immediately shouted, “Chu Yan?”

Chu Yan’s voice immediately came from the other side of the phone. “You’re awake. Happy New Year.”

Ye Qingran smiled and happily replied, “Happy New Year.”

This was really the most special year she had ever had.
