Chapter 1775: I Won't Let Them Take Advantage

Li Xingyan said with an irritable look, "How you feel in your heart, what does that have to do with me? Please move aside!"

The girl was startled, her shoulders shrinking back.

She did not dare to speak to Li Xingyan again and hurriedly stepped to the side.

Seeing this, the girl's friend hurriedly walked over.

She first comforted the girl.

Then, looking at Li Xingyan's back, she complained, "He really doesn't know how to cherish the fairer sex!"

Li Xingyan truly did not know how to cherish the fairer sex.

A person like him, even if a romantic opportunity drifted his way...

It would likely be frozen into shards!

After a busy day, Xie Wanyi returned to the company with his team.

He prepared to hold a small meeting for the members in his office to distribute their respective tasks.

As it turned out, the moment he entered the office, he saw two people.

The two were standing and sitting.

The person sitting was Ping Ge.

Standing beside him was a young man, looking humble and submissive.

Seeing these two uninvited guests, Xie Wanyi curled his lips, "When did you arrive?"

"Just got off the plane and came straight to you."

"Are you here this time for some urgent task?"

"There is no task; I came for you."

When Ping Ge and Xie Wanyi chatted, both sides were smiling.

But behind the smiles, both carried scrutiny.

Soon, Xie Wanyi's gaze was drawn to that young man.

He asked, "This is..."

"We were worried you couldn't handle the workload, so we sent someone to help you."

Help?

This reason made the smile on Xie Wanyi's lips deepen.

He did not offer any evaluation of this, but instead asked, "Was this arranged by Li Shu?"

"Naturally. If you don't believe it, you can contact Li Shu."

"Alright then."

Alright then?

What does "alright then" mean?

For a moment, Ping Ge did not understand what Xie Wanyi meant.

Once he figured it out...

A cold glint flashed in the depths of Ping Ge's eyes.

Xie Wanyi, however, did not meet Ping Ge's gaze.

Instead, he said with emotion, "I haven't seen Li Shu for a long time and miss him; I plan to go see him in these next two days."

Ping Ge steadied his breathing, then asked in a joking tone, "What, you don't trust me?"

"How could that be? I wanted to see Li Shu anyway."

"Then you can rest assured and go back; as for company matters, just let Xiao Ding help you keep an eye on things."

As Ping Ge spoke, he introduced the young man to Xie Wanyi.

Don't let the young man's unremarkable appearance fool you; he is a graduate of a prestigious university with impressive abilities.

Xie Wanyi listened quietly to Ping Ge's introduction.

Once Ping Ge finished speaking, he made a decision without haste, "He just arrived and isn't familiar with anything yet; it's better to let Xiaolin show him the ropes."

"I don't think that's necessary. Before Xiao Ding came, he had already reviewed the company's data."

"But theory and practice are two different things after all; one must still be down-to-earth."

Xie Wanyi was very insistent.

Seeing this, Ping Ge said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "You are still as cautious as ever. Then Xiao Ding, you follow Xiaolin and learn. Don't look at Xiaolin as young, or that he didn't attend a good school, but he is Wanyi's capable assistant."

Ping Ge's words were a case of praising on the surface while disparaging underneath.

Xiaolin, however, did not have a temper at all.

Instead, he said with a smile, "Not at all, not at all. I'm just more familiar with the company and am used to running errands for everyone."

"Is that so? Then Xiao Ding, in the future, if there are any errand-running tasks, just leave them to Xiaolin."

Xiaolin had no objections to Ping Ge's arrangement.

He remained all smiles.

Ping Ge did not waste too much time on him either.

Waving his hand, he said to Xiao Ding and Xiaolin, "You two go out first; I want to have a private chat with Wanyi."

Xie Wanyi did not find this decision surprising.

He had also been waiting for Ping Ge to bring up that clock.

But...

Until their conversation ended and Ping Ge left, he never brought it up.

Xie Wanyi was suspicious at first, but then he understood.

Bringing up that clock suddenly would certainly be very abrupt.

Ping Ge needs an opportunity.

As for what kind of opportunity...

Xie Wanyi thought of that newcomer who had been planted there.

After sending Ping Ge away and arranging a position for Xiao Ding, Xiaolin finally returned to Xie Wanyi's side.

Unlike the amiability from just a moment ago, Xiaolin's expression was not very good right now.

He even said with certainty: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on this guy and never let him have a chance to stir up trouble!"

"Keeping a close eye on him is useless; even if they ask me to hand over the company, I will have to offer it up with both hands."

"Why? We built this up together!"

Xiaolin was resentful and unwilling, looking as if he wanted to fight to the death.

Xie Wanyi, however, smiled faintly and said: "There is no 'why'; in the end, I am just a chess piece."

Xiaolin could not accept this.

He opened his mouth to retort.

But considering their situation...

Xiaolin only moved his lips, but did not say a single word.

Xie Wanyi took a deep breath and arranged: "I may have to leave for a few days; while I am away, I leave the company to you."

"Don't worry, I will look after the company, and I won't give those with ulterior motives a chance to cause trouble!"

"Mm, also remember, do not have conflicts with the other party; when handling problems, be a bit more tactful."

After hearing this, Xiaolin patted his chest and guaranteed: "I wouldn't dare say anything else, but when it comes to being tactful, if I say I'm second, no one dares to say they're first!"

Xie Wanyi understood Xiaolin very well.

He knew this young man had a quick mind and strong patience.

However...

He still cautioned: "Don't underestimate them; Ping Ge would not send a fool to our side."

"Understood."

Xiaolin's expression changed slightly, and his lips pursed.

As for Xie Wanyi, he set off the next day to visit Li Shu.

Before departing, Xie Wanyi sent a message to Jiang Motian.

But he only said he was going on a business trip and would be gone for a few days.

This news made Jiang Motian feel a bit disappointed.

She had originally thought about asking Xie Wanyi to go see a movie tonight.

Now, she could only wait peacefully for him to return.

Jiang Motian looked up at the sky, endless longing crossing her heart.

And Xie Wanyi had already boarded the plane.

Li Shu was recuperating in a picturesque small town.

Here, it was spring all year round, with flowers in full bloom.

The air even seemed to be wrapped in a hint of sweetness.

But because Li Shu had limited mobility, he spent most of his time in his own small courtyard.

The beautiful scenery outside the window had little to do with him.

However, when Li Shu heard that Xie Wanyi had come, a few more smiles involuntarily appeared on his face.

He had someone push him around to the living room.

Seeing Xie Wanyi, Li Shu smiled and said: "How do you have the time to come see me today?"

Xie Wanyi was holding a teacup, silently lost in thought.

The moment he heard Li Shu's voice, he raised his eyes, and his worries dissipated completely.

Xie Wanyi stood up with a smile and replied: "I have long wanted to come see you, I only managed to find the time today; how have you been lately?"

"Still the same as always."

Li Shu and Xie Wanyi sat together and began to chat.

After chatting for a while, Xie Wanyi took out a box and introduced: "I previously met an old doctor who specializes in treating leg ailments; this is a medicinal plaster he made himself. Applying it to the leg can reduce the pain."
