Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 315: Shoot Oneself in the Foot (1)

After Zhao Youlin handed the documents that she had brought to the vice department chief of the development department, she did not stay any longer and quickly left this place, which was full of disputes.

When she walked out of the entrance of the development department, she happened to hear a few girls from other departments talking about Zhao Youming.

“Did you guys see the new department chief of the development department today? He is so handsome, and he looks so gentle. A gentle person is really attractive.”

“You’re right. When I went to the development department to deliver the documents this morning, I saw him smile at me. Ah, his smile made my heart melt, and I almost couldn’t walk. It was so embarrassing.”

“Are you sure he was smiling at you? Don’t be a narcissist. I guess he was smiling at other people, or he found it funny to see your silly appearance.”

“Ah, you tomboy, can you stop teasing me?”

The girls continued to chat.

The corners of Zhao Youlin’s mouth could not help but twitch when she heard their enthusiastic comments about Zhao Youming.

A group of simple-minded creatures that only cared about appearance. That man was not as simple as he seemed.

Her heart was melted by his smile? If her heart melted like them, she might not be far from death.

Xiao Jingyao, who was at the side, heard the discussion between those girls as well. He frowned and subconsciously looked at Zhao Youlin.

“General Manager, just now Chief Zhao…”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes slightly narrowed. She sneered and said, “An appropriate probe can indeed reveal the information of other people, but if you probe too much, you will only shoot yourself in the foot. He probes so much when we only met for the first time. It seems like he is keeping a lot of secrets from me.”

When Zhao Youlin talked about this, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. “Recently, it has been a critical period for the completion and opening of some parts of the resort. How to work hard on the promotion of the resort is the company’s main priority recently. If Zhao Youming wants to stabilize his position in the Zhao Enterprise, he will definitely aim at this. Transfer a few people to the development department. They only need to monitor him. There is no need to do other unnecessary things.”

“Okay.” The two walked in the direction of the elevator as they talked. Xiao Jingyao hesitated for a while, and he said, “General Manager, about the president of Sheng Shi Group that you asked me to check last time…”

Zhao Youlin was stunned. “You’ve investigated it?”

“I have gotten the basic information, and it is now in my office.”

“Go up and bring it to me later.”

“Okay,” Xiao Jingyao obediently replied. Then, he added with some curiosity, “General Manager, you are investigating Mr. Han for…”

Zhao Youlin gave an incomprehensible smile, “Who knows? Maybe it is just a sudden decision or a whim.”

Xiao Jingyao frowned. He was obviously not satisfied with Zhao Youlin’s obvious perfunctory reply. However, he also knew that since Zhao Youlin said so, she must have some unspeakable reason. So, he thoughtfully did not continue to ask.

As the two talked, they had walked to the elevator’s door unknowingly.

The moment the elevator’s door opened, Ling Ran happened to walk out of it.

When Ling Ran saw Zhao Youlin and Xiao Jingyao, he was stunned. Then, he smiled and greeted, “Ms. Zhao, you have finished your work?”

“Yeah.” Zhao Youlin glanced at Ling Ran’s back. When she found that no one else had come down with him, she raised her eyebrows without anyone noticing. She could not help but ask, “Where is Mr. Ye? Didn’t he come down with you, Mr. Ling?”

‘Is he still waiting for me in the office?’ Zhao Youlin thought to herself worriedly.

“Oh, you’re talking about Young Ye. He left first as he had something to take care of.”

“I see.” Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief.

Ling Ran looked at Zhao Youlin’s appearance, which showed she wanted to avoid Ye Yan, and he silently mourned for his good friend for a few seconds. He smiled and said, “If there is nothing else, I’ll leave first as well. Goodbye, Ms. Zhao.” Ling Ran was about to run away for his own safety. However, before he took two steps, he heard a faint call from behind. “Mr. Ling.”

Ling Ran’s body stiffened. He turned to look at Zhao Youlin, who was calling him. He asked, “Ms. Zhao, is there anything else?”

Zhao Youlin smiled. She walked to Ling Ran and looked at the empty lunch box he was holding. She sighed and said, “Although Li is slightly older than me, she has a simple mind and doesn’t understand those messy intricacies. She is also someone who gets hurt easily. I don’t know how you got to know Li, but I can see that you are treating her very well. You treat her so well that it might cause illusions and misunderstandings.”

Ling Ran’s expression changed slightly. He opened his mouth as he wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Zhao Youlin.

“Li has a pure nature. She won’t think deeply about someone, but I’m different. Mr. Ling, you and Mr. Ye are good friends, and you are a friend who sends food to Li every day. These are some things that I didn’t expect. However, the timing of Mr. Ye’s appearance was so coincidental that I couldn’t help but suspect that the reason why you approach Li is entirely for…”

“Ms. Zhao, you overthink. It was totally an accident that Li and I met. I didn’t even know that she was your secretary. When I started to send food to her after that, I found out that she actually works in the Zhao Enterprise, and she happened to be your secretary. I was also taken aback when I found out about it, so it was not what you thought.”

“Mr. Ling, did you want to say that Mr. Ye’s appearance in my office today was just an accident?”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes were too cold. When Ling Ran saw her eyes, he shuddered and was unable to tell a lie.

As Zhao Youlin had said, it was not a coincidence that Ye Yan appeared in her office today. When he heard Zhao Youlin inviting him to go up, he had immediately called Ye Yan and asked him to come over to Zhao Youlin’s office under the excuse of sending desserts.

“I don’t care whether the encounter between you and Li was a coincidence or a planned encounter. I just want to advise you that Li is not someone you can play with. She is na?ve, kind, and enthusiastic. When other people treat her well, she will want to be nice to other people as well. Her world is very simple, and she can’t play with rich people like you. So, if you’re not sincere when you are being nice to her, then please stop as soon as possible. Don’t wait until Li sinks deeply before you leave. It will only hurt both of you.”

Ling Ran opened his mouth. He sincerely felt that he was wronged. “Ms. Zhao, I really don’t have the intention of using Li, and I don’t have any purpose for being nice to her, let alone tricking her feelings. I’m indeed interested in Li. You just said that Li is na?ve and enthusiastic, and these are exactly one of the reasons why Li is able to attract me. How can I become the person who destroys these things? What happened today is indeed my fault. I called Ye Yan over without your permission. However, you can’t deny me just because of this. It’s too arbitrary!”
