Chapter 1110: A Mysterious Surprise?

"I’m sorry!"

Ye Luo gave a sheepish smile and went straight up to give each of the two women a big hug.

The receptionist and the young man were completely frozen with shock on their faces as they saw Ye Luo hugging the president and sales manager of Mei Yue.

"What’s going on here?"

Then Luo Jingxuan’s gaze swept toward the receptionist and the young man.

"I said I was your friend, and the receptionist here said I couldn’t see you without an appointment. And this guy is your suitor; this receptionist even said you would definitely be moved by this guy."

Ye Luo pointed at the two, speaking indifferently with a mischievous smile on his lips.

As soon as Ye Luo finished speaking, the receptionist’s face turned deathly pale, her body trembling slightly.

Luo Jingxuan glanced at the receptionist and said, "You’re fired. Pack your things and leave!"

"President, I..."

The receptionist’s body trembled, and she hurriedly wanted to say something.

"I don’t want to repeat myself!"

Luo Jingxuan’s expression was icy, exuding a strong aura that intimidated the receptionist into silence, her eyes filled with a look of defeat and irritation at herself for talking too much, her heart filled with regret and despair.

"And you, never set foot in Mei Yue again. I don’t want to see you."

Luo Jingxuan looked at the young man and coldly ordered.

"Lo..."

"We had a bet, remember? Now that President Luo has come down, you’re not allowed to show up here again. You can get lost now."

Before the young man could say anything, Ye Luo spoke up dismissively.

Instantly, anger flashed through the young man’s eyes as he glared at Ye Luo; in the end, he could only leave this place in a dejected manner.

Ye Luo then followed the two women into Luo Jingxuan’s office.

"Where have you been this time? I can’t see you around every day?"

Luo Jingxuan looked at Ye Luo and asked faintly.

"I had some things to take care of."

Ye Luo replied, then added, "By the way, why haven’t I seen Sister Yan?"

"You seem to be quite concerned about Sister Yan, huh?"

Li Wanqin’s lips curled into a strange smile.

"What happened to her?"

Ye Luo asked, puzzled.

"Nothing. She didn’t come to work and is resting at home. When you get back, Sister Yan will give you a big surprise."

Luo Jingxuan said with a hint of a smile.

"Surprise? What surprise?" Ye Luo’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

"You’ll know when you get back. It’s guaranteed to be a surprise."

Both women had a cryptic smile on their faces.

"All right."

Although Ye Luo was very curious, he didn’t ask anymore since the women weren’t saying; after all, he would find out when he got home.

"By the way, I’m planning to take a trip to the North in a couple of days to discuss our Mei Yue products being hosted there with a few companies. Do you have time to accompany me?"

Luo Jingxuan looked at Ye Luo and asked.

"What do you need me for when you’re negotiating business deals?"

Ye Luo looked surprised for a moment.

"Jingxuan is worried that something might go wrong when we head to the North. You know about the Zhu Group in the North, they’re the biggest titan in the Northern cosmetic industry."

"They’ve always been extremely resistant to our Mei Yue products entering the Northern market. When their attempts to negotiate with us fell through, they increased their efforts to block our products from entering the North. We’ve finally managed to discuss a few potential partnerships, and Jingxuan is afraid that the Zhu Group might secretly cause some trouble."

Li Wanqin spoke with a solemn expression.

"The Zhu Group has a vast network in the North, and their influence behind the scenes is also very formidable. Moreover, the head of the Zhu Group is someone who acts ruthlessly and is good at underhanded tactics, so I suspect they won’t let us negotiate successfully with those partners so easily."

Luo Jingxuan said gravely.

"Understood. So, I’m going to play the role of a protective escort, huh? Alright, I want to see what kind of tricks they can come up with."

Ye Luo smiled with a playful look on his face.

After staying in Luo Jingxuan’s office for a while, Ye Luo walked out, casually surveying his surroundings.

Just then, Ye Luo spotted Lin Xiaoyan, who was working. As he was about to walk over, a man in his thirties wearing a suit approached Lin Xiaoyan with a smile and said:

"Xiaoyan, are you free after work today? Let’s have dinner together. I’ve booked a private room at a five-star hotel; we can go there to enjoy a meal."

"Director Du, I have other things to do after work, so I won’t go for the meal."

Lin Xiaoyan gracefully declined.

"Xiaoyan, look at you, a girl without a boyfriend. How could you possibly be busy every day? You’ve rejected me so many times now. Are you looking down on me?"

The man said with an unpleasant look on his face.

Lin Xiaoyan’s expression changed slightly as she replied, "Director Du, you’ve really misunderstood. How could I possibly look down on you?"

"Well, if that’s the case, then you should have dinner with me tonight. You’ve rejected me so many times; you should at least give me some face."

The man said sternly, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoyan.

For a moment, Lin Xiaoyan felt extremely awkward and didn’t know what to do, whether to agree or to decline.

"Xiaoyan!"

At that moment, Ye Luo walked over, looking at Lin Xiaoyan with a smile.

"Big Brother Ye!"

Seeing Ye Luo, Lin Xiaoyan immediately showed an excited and thrilled expression.

"Haven’t seen you in a few days. Give me a hug!"

Ye Luo said, and directly stepped forward to give Lin Xiaoyan a big hug. Her cheeks flushed red, and she looked a bit shy.

Director Du, seeing this scene, looked very unpleasant, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

"Kid, who are you? Which department are you from?"

Director Du interrogated Ye Luo coldly, with the air of a superior scolding an inferior. He obviously mistook Ye Luo for an employee of Mei Yue Company; after all, non-employees wouldn’t be there.

"Who I am is none of your business, is it?"

Ye Luo looked at the so-called Director Du with disdain.

"Do you know who I am? I’m the department head of the marketing department at Mei Yue Company. You dare talk to me like this? I’m telling you now, you’re fired."

Director Du declared with an authoritative air, his gaze shifting to Lin Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, if you’re going to reject me tonight, then you probably won’t have a long future here at Mei Yue Company either."

"Oh, what a big talker! You think you’re the boss of this company?"

Ye Luo looked at Director Du with a cold sneer.

"I may not be the boss of Mei Yue Company, but I’m still a senior leader here, and I have the authority to fire you. As for Xiaoyan, it depends on how she chooses."

Director Du snorted coldly, his gaze towards Ye Luo filled with provocation and satisfaction, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
