Nian Xiaomu stared at Yu Yuehan carefully with her animated pair of eyes the moment she finished her sentence.
When she noticed that his face was turning gloomy, she shrank her tiny neck immediately and put on a pitiful expression.
Raising her right hand, Nian Xiaomu straightened three of her fingers and vowed, “Young Master, although today’s event is a product launch for Sheng Da Science and Technology, it is ultimately a collaboration project with the Yu Corporation. I wanted to save the situation so badly because of you, Young Master. I really had no choice just now but to put your name on the line. I promise that this won’t happen again!”
“…” There were some fluctuations on Yu Yuehan’s peaceful face when he heard that she had saved the situation at all costs just because of him.
Soon, his face returned back to normal again.
Lowering his gaze, he stared at the person in front of him—the one who tried so hard to put on an obedient look on the outside, but was in fact a crafty person on the inside.
He was very aware that 80 percent of whatever she had said was just to coax him into feeling happy and could not be taken seriously.
However, the corner of his lips rose upward unknowingly; the depressed feeling in his chest had also lightened significantly…
As for whether he should settle the score with her…
“It all depends on your performance,” Yu Yuehan opened his lips lightly and spoke with a pause after every word.
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
She had already made amends and apologized as well as sworn a vow—how else should she perform?
“Supervisor Nian, you didn’t discuss with me beforehand and dragged me onstage to help save Sheng Da Science and Technology from the fire. Is this what the company has taught you? To plot against your own president?”
“…” Nope.
“I won’t argue with you about the questions that you asked me previously, but you revealed my private matters at the end—was that also part of what you prepared in the public relations proposal?”
“…” Nope.
“Violating the system of the company and disrespecting your president—how many months of bonus do you think I should deduct from you for these two charges?” Yu Yuehan opened his mouth slowly as he stared at her tiny brain, which looked like it was about to subj all the way to her chest.
Nian Xiaomu raised her head abruptly the moment she heard what he said.
She glanced at him with a look that conveyed extreme grievance; the only thing that fell short was that she did not grow a tiny tail behind her back and wag at him.
“I only did that because I wanted to stall for time and wait for Shangxin to arrive. Can I make up for my mistakes by doing a meritorious deed?”
Nian Xiaomu’s face fell the moment she thought about the huge amounts of cash that were about to bid goodbye to her.
She reached out her hand and grabbed onto the ends of Yu Yuehan’s jacket.
“I’ll work extremely hard to compensate—so please don’t deduct my bonus!”
Before he could reply, a round of applause that was accompanied by the excited screams of Shangxin’s fans sounded from the stage.
“Goddess! Goddess!”
“Shangxin, you are awesome! I love you!”
“I love you too!”
Waves and waves of screams pushed the atmosphere of the product launch to its peak.
Nian Xiaomu saw some movements from Yu Yuehan’s thin lips, but did not manage to catch what he had said.
She was about to repeat her question when she saw that Shangxin was already walking down from the stage. The runway segment was brilliant and the response from the crowd was very good as well, but Shangxin’s expression did not look good, and her eyes seemed to be a little red.
She appeared to be enduring something silently.
Her emotions seemed to be a little out of place; she waited until the event for the product endorsement was finally over before she covered her face and headed off the stage toward the lounge.
“Shangxin…” Nian Xiaomu stared at her from behind. She suddenly remembered that Shangxin had been kidnapped just now and chased after her hurriedly with no time to attend to Yu Yuehan.
“…”
With narrowed eyes, Yu Yuehan stood still and looked on as Nian Xiaomu ran off in front of him.
He was about to walk forward when the cell phone in his pocket rang.
He lowered his head and took a glimpse. When he realized that it was a call from Tang Yuansi, he picked up the call with knitted eyebrows.
“I saw the live broadcast. The product launch was very successful for Sheng Da Science and Technology,” Tang Yuansi’s slightly husky voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Tang Yuansi continued, “You owe me a favor from this matter. I would like you to help me with something.”
