Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 196: The Miserable Mighty Secretary Xia (2)

No matter how discontented Xia Zhetao was, Mu Tingfeng would never change his mind. Even after Mu Tingfeng saw the anger in Xia Zhetao’s eyes, he blurted out calmly, “Moreover, this has all the while been within your job scope.”

In other words, Mu Tingfeng’s words were interpreted as him being busy pursuing his ex-wife, and his family was all he ever wanted now. Therefore, Xia Zhetao should handle the minions on his behalf. Xia Zhetao had been receiving a high salary and so, this was the time for Xia Zhetao to prove his worth to him. Otherwise, what was the point of having him here?!

Xia Zhetao was very pissed off, ‘Boss, how could you be such a big bully?! What do you mean by this has all the while been within my job scope?! Is there any secretary who spends his leisure hours solving problems for you as his part-time job?! Can you not be such a big bully?!’

Xia Zhetao grumbled to himself for some time. However, on the surface, he dared not express his dissatisfaction before his employer. His expression stiffened. He nodded obediently, and he said, “I-I… I know what I should do. I won’t disappoint you, President Mu.”

Mu Tingfeng gave a glance at him faintly, and he nodded. Xia Zhetao heaved a sigh of relief. The next moment, he said, “President Mu, if there’s nothing else, I will go…”

“Wait. There’s one more thing.”

The smile on Xia Zhetao’s face stiffened for a few seconds. He turned back and asked faintly, “W-What… else?”

Mu Tingfeng looked serious and threw a document in front of Xia Zhetao, “They are, after all, almost much the same. So, handle him as well.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhetao’s eyebrows unwittingly twitched. He took the documents and flipped it over, and he easily identified the person in the document.

‘Isn’t he the youngest young master of the Zhao family whom we have always heard of, but have never seen him before, and according to others, his lust controls his actions, and he even has the guts to enter the former Mrs. President’s office to lay hands on her in the broad daylight, and finally ended up getting a brutal kick in his d*ck by the former Mrs. President and was immediately admitted to the hospital…?

‘In other words, President Mu, did you keep all the conversations you’ve heard in the office that day in your heart and after that, you came back and collected all sorts of information so that you could settle old scores?

‘President Mu, even after working with you for so many years, I never know that you have covered yourself up as a wise man on the surface when you were actually so calculative and petty! You’ve really disappointed me!’

When Mu Tingfeng saw Xia Zhetao’s complexion constantly changing while holding the document, he frowned. He retorted in a clear and concise manner, “What’s wrong? Any problem?”

“N-No… problem. Please be rest assured that I will complete the task!” Xia Zhetao was snapped out of his daze and immediately put on a look as if he was ready to make a heroic and tragic sacrifice. He nodded at Mu Tingfeng, turned around and left. In truth, his heart was bleeding.

‘My boss is barely even focused on work all day long. He only cares about pursuing his ex while giving me all sorts of work, be it big or small matters!’ Were there any other secretaries more miserable than him?

Mu Tingfeng watched the resentful Xia Zhetao leave his office. Then, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and looked at the wound on his hand that was about to turn into a scar.

He unwittingly recalled Zhao Youlin’s serious look while applying medicine on him that day. His originally cold gaze gradually softened. He slowly clenched his fists. A trace of determination darted across his eyes.

He would not spare anyone who dared to lay a hand on her, not even one!

Meanwhile, Zhao Youxi had no idea that she had caught someone’s notice. At the same time, she was in deep waters.

When Li Hongyu found out that Zhao Youxi had been kicked out of Zhao Enterprise, she was so angry that she nearly fainted on the spot. As soon as she recovered her senses, she kept complaining to Zhao Shuncheng.

She persuaded Zhao Shuncheng, and he naturally sided with her. This caused the hot-tempered Zhao Shuncheng to grow angrier.

He threw big tantrums inside his own villa. He smashed things and cussed Zhao Youlin for being so ungrateful and for helping others instead of her own family.

Once Li Hongyu achieved her purpose, she prodded Zhao Shuncheng to go to the former master of the Zhao family and asked for a favor on behalf of Zhao Youxi so that Zhao Youxi could return to Zhao Enterprise.

Little did they know that the former master did not even open the door to see them. Instead, Uncle Zhao came out to greet them. After Uncle Zhao knew the purpose of them coming, he politely blocked their way and said, “Mr. Zhao has handed over all the company’s affairs to the eldest young master and the eldest lady. Since this is a decision made by the eldest lady, it’s best to obey her words.”

Even though Uncle Zhao was just a servant in the Zhao family, he had been serving the former master for many years. Ninety percent of what he said represented the former master’s own will.

If this was the case, what Uncle Zhao meant was that the former master had personally granted the right to the eldest lady. What the eldest lady had spoken equated to the former master’s own will. ‘Now that you guys have come over to seek Mr. Zhao’s help, aren’t you asking him to give a slap on his own face?!’

Zhao Shuncheng was speechless. He dared not stay any longer and so, he returned home in disappointment.

Right after Zhao Shuncheng arrived home, he no longer could hold back his anger. He vented out all his anger on his maids as well as Zhao Youxi and Li Hongyu. Zhao Youxi hid behind Li Hongyu while shouting at Zhao Shuncheng furiously, “Father, why are you throwing your tantrum at us? We’re not the ones who caused you embarrassment. If you’re so capable, you should go and vent out your anger at that wench! Dear God…”

Before Zhao Youxi finished speaking, a vase was thrown in her direction, brushed past her ear and shattered into pieces on the floor.

Zhao Youxi drew a cold breath on the spot. It was not hard to imagine what the consequences would be if that thing were to strike her.

Li Hongyu was shocked. She could not care much less and immediately went up and pulled Zhao Youxi to the side. She said worriedly, “Are you injured?”

Zhao Youxi shook her head and was still in a state of shock. Meanwhile, Zhao Shuncheng was unaware that he had nearly killed his own daughter. All he cared about was the words spoken by Zhao Youxi. His face was dark. He pointed at the mother-daughter pair and cussed them, “How dare you even say that. If not for you, why did I have to be so thick-skinned to ask the favor from the former master?! How disappointing are the two of you?! I’ve already warned you not to provoke Youlin, yet, you didn’t heed my advice. Look what’s happening now…!”

“Father, how could you say that? When did you ask me not to provoke Youlin? Moreover, do you think I’m the one provoking her? Apparently, she… she’s jealous of me because I was popular and much welcomed in Zhao Enterprise. As such, she tried to find fault with me. She also bribed those useless idiots by the convenience of her identity in order to trick me explicitly and discreetly. She came out with various ways to cause me trouble and make things hard for me. I didn’t want to provoke her, in fact, she was the one who came to provoke me. She forced me to do all these! It’s true! She was the one who forced me to do so!”
