Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  "Who told you these words?"

  "Didn't you have your secretary tell me?" Ye Xuan's anger was gone, "How can you now try to shift all the blame?"

  If it's the secretary who is spreading rumors, unless she doesn't want to mix anymore, how dare she speak nonsense?

  Secretary? Ou Mu Xuan didn't continue to explain, coldly turning around and leaving. Since someone dared to play tricks behind his back, then don't blame her for not being polite.

  Hearing the sound of the door closing, Ye Xuan stopped holding her brush and looked at the messy design in her hand, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

  She didn't want to have any intersection with Ou Mu Xuan, but yesterday, she unexpectedly went to find him by a strange coincidence. She hoped it was a misunderstanding and that he could explain clearly, hoping he wasn't intentionally targeting her. But unexpectedly, he wouldn't even see her face.

  Is she crazy? Knowing that he is the one Gu Jia Chen loves, knowing that she should stay far away from him, but when faced with difficulties, she still thinks of him first?

  Ye Juanmo, he's not worth your concern, not worth you lowering your pride again!

  Ou Mu Xuan's secretary, there are three in total, one of whom was specifically chosen by Ou Lei to monitor his every move. Previously, Ou Mu Xuan didn't think much of it, if he really wanted to do something without anyone knowing, even with someone watching him 24 hours a day, he could still do it flawlessly.

  So he kept that secretary all along, but now it seems that he was too kind in the past!

  "Ah Xun, come in for a moment!"

  Ou Mu Xun Qin pointed to Ah Xun, there must be something important, otherwise, general things or troublesome things, their wise and powerful Ou Zong would only find Gu Xin.

  "Director Ou!" Half a minute later, Ah Xun was already standing in the office, serious and solemn, not smiling or joking, no matter what had happened, his face still wore a cautious expression.

  "Tell Linda to go to the finance department to settle her salary, she can leave. From now on, all companies under the Ou family are not allowed to hire her!" Ou Mu Xuan instructed coldly.

  "Should I explain the reason to the chairman?" Ah Xun asked cautiously.

  "Not necessary!"

  "Yes!" There were some things that Ou Mu Xuan didn't say, and Ah Xun wouldn't ask further.

  "Also," Ou Mu Xuan wrote a string of words on a piece of paper while lowering his head, then handed it to Ah Xun, "make these stocks plummet within one day!"

  "Ah!" Ah Xun took the note, glanced at it, and immediately understood that these stocks were held by Mo Lianhe, and were even major shareholders. As a director of Luo's company, he was not allowed to hold shares in other groups, which was a rule set by Ou's company.

  It seems that this time, their European general is about to start counterattacking. If these stocks fall to the stop-loss point, Mo Lianhe will lose several hundred million and won't even dare tell anyone, making him suffer without giving him a chance to cry out in pain.

  It was almost time to get off work, when Ou Mu Xuan's assistant, Gu Xin, came to Ye Xiang's office with a document, saying that President Ou had allocated another portion of funds to Xing Ou, but Ye Xiang refused.

  The crisis of insufficient funds has been resolved by herself and no longer needs Oumu Xuan.

  However, after a while, the knocking sound came again. Ye Xuan thought it was someone sent by Ou Mu Xuan and was about to get rid of them, but when she opened the door, she found that it was actually Lin Xue.

  His delicate face was so beautiful that it almost blurred the boundaries between men and women, his flaxen-colored long hair covered the nearly perfect contours of his face, but despite being so elegant and beautiful, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a sly smile, like an evil spirit from hell. Especially when he saw Ye Muxin's arrogant face in front of him, he couldn't help but want to drag her into hell immediately, never to be reborn again.

  Ye Xuan continued to sit in front of the easel, painting her own design, while Lin Xue didn't mind being treated so coldly and walked in, shaking her wheelchair.

  "I heard you refused the funding that Ou Zong gave you?" Lin Xue casually flipped open a fashion magazine, her beautiful fingers carelessly flipping through it.

  "Your news is quite lively, did Mo Hanxin tell you?" Ye Xuan didn't need to think to know who leaked the message, but for such a small matter, she didn't want to bother calculating so much.

  "Are you sure your one store can rival my twenty-odd stores?"

  "Of course." Ye Xuan's response was still nonchalant, as if her entire attention was on the brush, "This way you'll lose even more miserably, won't you?"

  "Starry sky, where did you get your confidence from?" Lin Xue slammed the magazine shut, her face clearly showing a layer of anger.

  "Confident? You've been defeated multiple times," Ye Xue Mo stopped her brush, with a hint of disdain in her dark eyes, but her eyebrows shone brightly. "Lin Xue, this time, do you dare to compete with me fairly and squarely without resorting to despicable means?"

  "What's wrong, are you worried?" Lin Xue pushed her wheelchair in front of her, the smile at the corner of her lips turned sinister. "So I can tell you very clearly, this time, I will stop at nothing, no matter what price I have to pay, I will pull you down from the clouds and make you lose face, let the name 'Star Sky' become a name that everyone spits on, and make you never be able to hold your head up as a person again, hahaha..." Lin Xue threw her head back and laughed loudly.

  Ye Xuanmo gazed at him coldly, "Hey, your delusions are a bit severe." What's with the smugness, as if he had already trampled her underfoot? Ye Xuanmo leaned in, a playful expression on her face, and whispered to him, "Lin Xue, quietly tell me, apart from being crippled in both legs, weren't you also scared stupid that time?"

  "Starry sky, without Ou Mu Xuan's help, how confident are you of winning?" Lin Xue leaned in close to Ye Xiang Yu, the more he looked at this beautiful face, the more he wanted to destroy it. "I'll wait and see your downfall!"

  Ye Xuan's smile was undiminished, "Is that so? I'm also waiting for your downfall."

  "Alright, we'll wait with bated breath." After saying that, Lin Xue continued smiling and shaking her head as she left in her wheelchair.

  To be honest, Ye Xuanmo didn't have the confidence to win either, just like Qiao Bai said, she was completely relying on her own stubbornness to hold on, but what if her performance didn't improve, how long could her pride last?

  At this time, the mobile phone rang. Ye Xuan thought it was Si Tu Luo Tian. These days, they met many times. Ye Xuan almost accepted all his invitations without exception. Although she told herself repeatedly that it was to face Si Tu Luo Tian naturally, she understood very well that on another side, it was intentionally for Ou Mu Xuan to see, otherwise she wouldn't let those reporters take pictures of them on purpose.

  She knows such a small trick is very childish, but she still does it again and again.
