Chapter 886: Not Even Qualified to Catch the Leftovers
by xennovel“I may not know who you are, but it seems like you have some kind of grudge with my husband.”
“And honestly, you’re not someone respectable. You’re just taking advantage of my husband’s absence to bully someone like me, a weak woman.”
“So what if you temporarily get the company? When my husband returns, you’re definitely going to pay me back twice as much.”
Mei Liangxinying’s thoughts raced. She gave a cold sneer, looking at the young man with disdain, her mockery almost undisguised.
A shadow flickered across the young man’s eyes, as if his tail had been stepped on. He shouted angrily, “You b*tch! Shut up!”
“I’ll have you know, even if Xu Shaochen comes back, I still wouldn’t fear him!”
Gone was the young man’s previous elegance and calm demeanor. He looked agitated, his eyes bloodshot, his chest heaving, and his fists clenched tightly.
“Is that so? Then why are you so worked up? Seems like my husband dealt with you pretty harshly. But you should be thankful; at least you still managed to scrape by with your life.”
Mei Liangxinying remained utterly calm. She paused as she reached this point, then curled her lips into a faint, mocking smile:
“But what I don’t get is this: Instead of finding a place to hide and eke out a pitiful existence, you actually come looking for more trouble. What’s the deal? Did you find out you have a terminal illness and decide to throw caution to the wind?”
The young man was about to erupt in anger, but then suddenly he laughed: “Miss Mei, you’re truly a match for any man. Even in such a situation, you remain unfazed and still manage to provoke me so easily.”
“If Xu Shaochen ever grows tired of you, Miss Mei, feel free to come find me. I wouldn’t mind catching those leftovers.”
Mei Liangxinying chuckled derisively: “Even if my husband were to leave me, you wouldn’t even be qualified to pick up the scraps. To put it bluntly, you’re not even worthy to raise his child.”
The young man twitched, clearly holding back his rage.
“Take care of the company for me. I’ll treat you like a guard dog. But if anything goes wrong before the company returns to my hands, I won’t hesitate to kill and eat the dog.”
Mei Liangxinying nonchalantly tossed out this remark while standing up. She immediately strode out of the conference room in her high heels.
“Chairman Mei.”
The secretary glanced at the young man, then at the others, before quickly rushing after Mei Liangxinying.
After the secretary left, a few other people stood up one after another, glanced around at those who were indifferent, snorted coldly, and walked out of the conference room.
“Everyone, the unrelated people have left. Let’s continue with the meeting.”
The young man walked to where Mei Liangxinying had been sitting, pressing his hands on the table and looking around calmly as he spoke.
A few individuals at the conference table looked particularly excited. They knew that rewards and recognition were coming their way.
And they were the key contributors.
……………
After Mei Liangxinying left the conference room, her expression darkened, losing the strength and calmness she had displayed moments ago.
She knew the situation could be quite serious.
That person knew her very well and also knew Xu Shaochen’s identity. It was clear that they were targeting him directly.
What did this mean? It meant the other party either had enough strength or enough confidence to go up against Xu Shaochen head-on.
Initially, Mei Liangxinying hadn’t planned to tell Xu Shaochen about this matter, but now, it seemed she had no choice but to make an international call.
“Chairman Mei, wait for me!”
The secretary hurriedly caught up with her just before she entered the elevator.
“Why are you following me?”
Mei Liangxinying stopped and asked.
The secretary was startled and stammered, “I… I’m your secretary. If you go, why would I stay?”
“You too?”
Mei Liangxinying looked at the few management staff behind the secretary.
“Chairman Mei, we grew with the company. Without you, there’s no company. Without you, there’s no us.”
They exchanged glances, then, in a firm voice, they all said this together.
“Alright then, go back to work. The company will return to my hands. Keep an eye on things for me.”
The gloom in Mei Liangxinying’s heart lifted. No matter what, at least she still had leadership charm.
“Understood, Chairman Mei. Whatever you ask, we’ll do.”
“Yeah, we’ll follow all your instructions!”
They chimed in one after another, then headed back to their offices as instructed by Mei Liangxinying.
“Chairman Mei, I… I can’t go back.”
The secretary looked at Mei Liangxinying with pleading eyes.
“Take some time off and go rest at home. But before that, do me a favor. Go to the control room and get the surveillance footage from earlier and make a copy for me.”
Mei Liangxinying looked at the secretary and said.
She hadn’t had a chance to get a photo of the young man earlier, so she would have to rely on the surveillance video.
Once Xu Shaochen saw that, he would know exactly who that man was.
“Know your enemy and know yourself, and you’re sure to win.”
“Got it!”
The secretary nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice.
Once the secretary had left, Mei Liangxinying stepped into the elevator and exhaled deeply.
She considered herself lucky to have such a strong husband backing her up, giving her the confidence to face down her opponents.
Well… though that might’ve sounded a bit inappropriate.
Not only strong… but hard, too! (σ≧≦)σ …………
In Mg Country, New York.
Xu Shaochen knew nothing about what was happening in Jiangzhou.
He was currently in the office of his headquarters, handling documents.
After slacking off for several days, Jenny finally couldn’t stand it and forced him back to work.
She even assigned him a temporary secretary to assist him.
“Chairman Xu, these are all the documents that need to be processed this morning.”
A tall woman from Stick Nation placed a thick stack of documents on Xu Shaochen’s desk.
“What about President Jenny?”
Xu Shaochen asked. Seeing the thick pile, he immediately understood what was going on.
The secretary carefully replied, “It’s all right here.”
Xu Shaochen: “…”
Sure enough, women are such contradictory creatures.
They scold him for being lazy but then go ahead and slack off themselves.
“Alright, you can leave now. And next time, wear a longer skirt. Seeing you like this makes me lose my focus.”
Xu Shaochen waved her off, his gaze briefly sweeping over her barely thigh-covering miniskirt.
“Yes, Chairman Xu.”
The secretary blushed slightly, a hint of nervousness in her voice, and then turned to leave.
After finding out she was going to be his stand-in secretary, she had deliberately swapped into the shortest skirt she had. It seemed to have backfired.
Xu Shaochen shook his head. These young people nowadays, always trying to take shortcuts.
Do they really think I’m some easy person? (ω) “Ding ding ding…”
Just as Xu Shaochen was about to look at the documents, his phone rang.
It was a video call from Mei Liangxinying.
