Chapter 359: Don’t Slander Others

“Then what do you need my help with?” Mama Sheng asked.

Turning back to his mother, Sheng Xiao replied, “Nothing. Just do what you’ve always been doing, Mom—but you would have to make a choice: would you stay at the Sheng family or leave them?”

Taking a deep breath, Mama Sheng nodded. “I’ll take time to consider it.”

Later, Mu Qiqi couldn’t help frowning when she found them returning from the golf course. “What’s the big secret with Mom?”

“What? You jealous?” Sheng Xiao asked in return, casting her a sideways glance.

“Is it something I shouldn’t know?” Mu Qiqi pressed—even if she knew that Sheng Xiao held much secrets in his heart, this was the first time he directly avoided her question.

“This little one is getting hard to manage… and becoming much smarter. I’ll tell you eventually, but I still have to keep it a secret from you for now.”

And since Sheng Xiao had explained it, Mu Qiqi decided she did not have to keep pressing—all she needed from him was a reaction.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Sheng finally had a better opinion of Sheng Xiao since the imp was willing to help a sibling. However, that was only because he never expected Sheng Xiao intended to leave and go independent, presuming that the Crown Prince only wanted to claim Huang Yao.

But he just didn’t know that Huang Yao had no place in Sheng Xiao’s heart.

Two days later…

The youth named Xu Che reported in at Jing Ting. When Mu Qiqi saw how young and vigorous the person was, she turned to Sheng Xiao, puzzled. “Don’t I have bodyguards already?”

“He is my new assistant.” Sheng Xiao told her. “Xu Che.” historical

“Chief Sheng, Young Madam.” Xu Che bowed at them with the air of a military man.

“How young is he? And you’re already hiring him as an assistant.”

As a matter of fact, Mu Qiqi’s couldn’t be blamed for her confusion—Xu Che was born with a babyish face, and he had been popular with his platoon because his face was both fair and tender.

Sheng Xiao couldn’t help grinning. “Xu Che, do tell your young madam how old you are.”

“I’m twenty-three.” Xu Che quickly replied.

“Wow, and I thought he would be eighteen.” Mu Qiqi gave him a thumb’s up by reflex. “You two continue then. I’m washing up upstairs.”

Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi was still not curious at the moment since Jing Yun often came by Jing Ting too. She was not aware that Xu Che was different from Jing Yun in that Xu Che would never show up at Huang Yao, because he would be working with Sheng Xiao and Shen Jianchuan.

And he would only be helping Sheng Xiao with matters on that side.

“Xu Che, although you are my assistant, you will prioritize Qi’er in all matters. She comes first in anything involving her.”

“Secondly, don’t tell her anything at the moment. I will inform her eventually.”

“I understand, Chief Sheng.”

Sheng Xiao knew that he could trust in a military man’s stringent attitude, since he had some understanding of Xu Che’s performance when he was with his platoon.

“With that being the case, act prudently from now on, and do your best to pretend you don’t know me in public places.”

That was naturally acceptable for a military man too.

Sheng Xiao was satisfied with Xu Che. In the end, anyone handpicked by his father-in-law would be better than the other good-for-nothings out there.

Meanwhile, over at the Xu family.

Xu Yihong had placed Jing Yun at the family’s purchasing department. According to him, he wanted Jing Yun to get familiar with the lifeline business of the family and how their merchandize were acquired.

That being said, he prevented Jing Yun from going to sales or research and department, keeping him suspended just like that.

The other staff in purchasing were not aware of who he was either, and were therefore really curious about this worker who was parachuted in out of nowhere.

When the Xu couple learned of Xu Yihong’s arrangement, they interrogated him when Jing Yun wasn’t home, “What are you thinking?”

“I plan to let brother try each department, Mom. That way, you would see whether he is competent, and it is also the quickest way for Brother to get familiar with Xu Holdings.”

“There are many ways to get familiar with Xu Holdings, and we have enough specialists. Moreover, he had been with Huang Yao’s Crown Prince for so long… why do you still doubt his competence?”

“Trust me, Mom. I could guide him well.”

Mama Xu appeared to have more to say, but Papa Xu stopped her. “Yihong is right. Let Feng’er test himself.”

In truth, he just didn’t want Xu Yihong feel that they were neglecting their eldest son just because they were reunited with Jing Yun.

And Xu Yihong himself knew that his parents would agree to his plans.

As for whether Jing Yun felt grief from it, that was none of his business…

However, Jing Yun knew what Xu Yihong was thinking—and more than that, Xu Yihong clearly had told the other staff at purchasing to push him around.

Was that to probe his endurance? And does it not go without telling how easy one would make mistakes in purchasing?

Meanwhile, Sheng Minglan had returned to work at her own company. Still, Jing Yun hadn’t told her about this matter, or she would definitely not take it lying down.

That being said, what character has Jing Yun not encountered after being at Sheng Xiao’s side for years?

That was why he installed a hidden camera on his own computer on his second day in purchasing. He was intent on knowing who were the humans and who were the villains.

Be that as it may, the purchasing department wasn’t aware that the order to give Jing Yun a hard time was from Xu Yihong, only that their superiors had arranged for it. As such, when the time comes and Jing Yun comes for blood, he would definitely not reach Xu Yihong.

In fact, right after Jing Yun had installed the camera, someone came to put its pixels to the test.

With Jing Yun was away, one of the staff threw a cup of water over the checklist his supervisor had just given him. It was handwritten, and Jing Yun was supposed to crosscheck it with the list in his computer, but now that it was drenched…

Nonetheless, Jing Yun sneered when he saw what happened through his mobile phone at the break room, and returned to his seat.

His colleagues were acting as if they know nothing.

However, Jing Yun did not bother them, instead directly putting the wet checklist in front of the culprit and told him, “I believe you have the responsibility to restore the data on these papers.”

The man’s face dropped in shock. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Around them, the other staff were prepared to be entertained.

“You can pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about, but I remember your face clearly when you knocked over my cup.” Jing Yun returned calmly.

Shocked, the staff’s face went red in embarrassment.

“Don’t… don’t slander others.”

“I never slander, but I am not a patient person either. Restore my data, or I won’t be the only one appreciating that look of yours.”

The staff hung his head at that, and answered evasively, “Fine…”

The other staff certainly could see Jing Yun’s reaction for themselves and that direct retaliation of his.

How was he easy to bully?

And after having done all that, he nonchalantly returned to his seat, turned on his computer again and kept working!
