"Vice President Ye!"

As Ye Xiao walked into the conference room, people like Liuu Yang, the director of the Game Department, Zhang Jiang, the director of the Hardware Department, Zhou Ling, the director of the Finance Department, and others immediately looked at Ye Xiao, each greeting him.

Liuu Yang, in particular, praised Ye Xiao with a smile, saying, "Vice President Ye is truly exceptionally wise. The way the company resolved such a major crisis this time, it's all thanks to Vice President Ye's great contributions."

This Liuu Yang clearly wanted to get closer to Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao found it funny. It's not that he didn't appreciate Liuu Yang's flattery, but this guy's bootlicking was misdirected. Even though I am the Vice President now, in the end, I am still an assistant, and Xia Mingyue is right beside me.

In officialdom, when the boss is present, you should never flatter the second-in-command because flattering them is practically digging your own grave.

Ye Xiao smiled modestly and said, "Mr. Liuu, you're too kind. The company overcoming this crisis was not my doing but the credit goes to Mr. Xia. If it weren't for Mr. Xia's capable leadership, this issue wouldn't have been resolved so quickly."

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Mr. Xia's good leadership," Liuu Yang quickly echoed.

Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao beside her and said, "Alright, as the company's general manager and with Ye Xiao as the vice president, it's our job to work for the company. There's no need for credit. Now we should discuss the company's next steps."

Upon hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Liuu Yang immediately wiped the sweat off his forehead and chuckled in agreement.

Everyone sat down and began listening to Xia Mingyue speak. Ye Xiao sat next to Xia Mingyue. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but secretly admire Xia Mingyue as she discussed the company's next directions. Though Xia Mingyue could have a bit of a temper at times, she really had unique insights into managing the company.

After over twenty minutes, at first, Ye Xiao listened attentively, but towards the end, he was almost about to fall asleep.

Walking out of Dongning Building!

Xia Mingyue handed a car key to Ye Xiao, saying, "Drive this car."

Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue and asked in confusion, "What car is this?"

"It's a company car, but it hasn't been driven in a while. Today, it'll finally be put to use," Xia Mingyue said.

Today, Xia Mingyue's BMW X6 was blown sky-high by a bomb, so just as they walked out of Dongning Building, Ye Xiao was thinking if he should hurry to hail a cab at the corner. Fortunately, Xia Mingyue handed him a key at that moment.

Ye Xiao glanced at the key; it was a Mercedes-Benz remote key, which made him secretly amused. Xia Mingyue must be pretty wealthy, having a Mercedes as a backup car.

"Ye Xiao, your performance just now was really lousy."

As Ye Xiao, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing walked towards the Mercedes car, Fang Jing suddenly looked at Ye Xiao with disdain.

Holding the car key, Ye Xiao was unlocking the car with the remote, saying, "How was I lousy?"

"You didn't seem like a vice president at all. During the meeting, I noticed you were almost falling asleep," Fang Jing said.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Huh? How could you keep watching me during the meeting? Oh, right, I just remembered something."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fang Jing seemed to recall something too and immediately looked at Xia Mingyue beside her, saying, "Mingyue, I'm hungry. What do you want to eat?"

Xia Mingyue wasn't aware of the little affairs between Ye Xiao and Fang Jing, so she immediately said, "Not very hungry. It seems Ye Xiao has something to say to you."

"There's nothing worth saying with him," Fang Jing said. "Let's get in the car."

Xia Mingyue nodded but then asked Fang Jing, "Why are you sitting in the back today?"

Fang Jing said, "Nothing, I just feel safer in the back."

Xia Mingyue didn't know what Fang Jing was referring to, thinking Fang Jing was still dwelling on the events from earlier in the day, so she laughed and said, "You do have a point."

Afterward, the three of them got into the car. This Mercedes was an automatic, and for someone like Ye Xiao, driving it was a piece of cake.

After having dinner near Dongning Building, they headed straight to Tulip District.

Returning to Tulip District, Ye Xiao dropped Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing downstairs and immediately went to Wang Luoxin's place. As for the kiss Ye Xiao had been looking forward to, Fang Jing simply avoided the topic, making even someone like Ye Xiao, who usually enjoyed a good verbal exchange, completely helpless.

Back at the place, only Purple Flame MM was there. Ye Xiao flirtatiously chatted with Purple Flame MM for a while, learning that Wang Luoxin and the others had gone out.

Ye Xiao knew that Wang Luoxin and others were probably out for the matter he had mentioned that morning. However, he had no idea how it would turn out.

Then, Ye Xiao returned to his room and began refining medicine.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's mind was focused solely on refining medicine, but little did he know, tonight was indeed a sleepless night for many. After midnight, at the headquarters of Azure Dragon Company in Bird City, the boss of Azure Dragon Company was severely beaten, with three of their seven main members killed. By the time Azure Dragon Company realized it was around 3 or 4 AM. This time, the streets were typically quiet, and for some unknown reason, people from Hong Company attacked two key positions of Azure Dragon Company, causing massive losses for them.

Immediately, a fierce battle erupted between Hong Company and Azure Dragon Company, two giant social forces in Bird City.

The most laughable part was when the battle commenced, a team from Azure Dragon Company even went to attack the villa where Hong Company's boss's family was staying. Although the family was unharmed, it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, causing the battle to spiral out of control.

Meanwhile, some subtle events also occurred in Jinling District, where someone known as Master Ma came into contact with Ma Chao.

On this night, Ye Xiao's activities were entirely centered around refining medicine, and he was completely unaware of anything else.

The next day!

Since the biggest crisis for Blue Star Company had been resolved, Ye Xiao, the vice president, wasn't all that crucial anymore. However, Xia Mingyue still gave Ye Xiao an office, although there were no documents inside the vice president's office, only a high-spec computer and a luxurious set of desk and chairs. It seemed like Ye Xiao was encouraged to play games during work hours.

Of course, Ye Xiao was very much enjoying this.

As for Blue Star Company signing the contract with He Huawei, Ye Xiao didn't bother to attend. In Ye Xiao's view, Xia Mingyue and the others were perfectly capable of handling it.

"Laner, missed me, right?" Ye Xiao lounged in his office, feet propped up on the desk, chatting with Lan Lan.

Previously, Ye Xiao had already called and greeted Jiang Miaoke, Li Siqi, Zheng Lingshan, Feng Jiao, and others one by one, spreading a bit of flirtation along the way.

Ye Xiao's current affairs were simple, just waiting for the day to pass.

Lan Lan listened to Ye Xiao's suggestive words and softly replied, "No!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ye Xiao was surprised upon hearing Lan Lan's response, "You mean you don't miss me? Are you kidding? Do you know how much I miss you? Really didn't expect this; seems I'm being self-delusional."

"No...no, I didn't mean that." Lan Lan whispered in response to Ye Xiao.

"Can't you speak a bit louder? Do you really need such a soft voice to talk to me?" Ye Xiao teased.

Lan Lan said, "I'm in class now and can't speak louder, or the teacher will definitely hear."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered something; Lan Lan seemed to still be a student.

"Alright, alright, for the sake of you being in class, I'll forgive you. But are you really sure you don't miss me even a little?" Ye Xiao joked.

Lan Lan buzzed like a mosquito, "Just a little!"

"How much is a little?" Ye Xiao continued to tease Lan Lan.

But unexpectedly, just then, a voice came through the phone, "Lan Lan, you shouldn't make calls during class. Didn't you know?"

Suddenly, the call was disconnected—Lan Lan hung up.

Holding the phone, Ye Xiao was momentarily stunned and involuntarily frustrated. Of course, he was frustrated with himself. Right, she was in class, and now he's disrupting her studies? And causing her to get scolded by the teacher.

What am I doing?

Ye Xiao sat idly in front of his computer, suddenly noticing the 'League of Legends' game icon on the screen, and laughed. Well, let's choose this.

That day, Ye Xiao sat in front of the computer playing League of Legends, though, come noon, he went to have lunch with Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Xiao's phone rang. It was the first time his phone rang today.

He checked it—it was Wu Shengchang.

Ye Xiao answered immediately.

"Brother Xiao!" Wu Shengchang greeted respectfully upon connecting.

Ye Xiao said, "Brother Six, calling at this time, what's up?"

"Brother Xiao, Ma Chao has already made contact with Master Ma, and Master Ma has agreed to help Ma Chao with 'retaliation'," Wu Shengchang said excitedly.

"Hmm, that's good, isn't it? Master Ma probably won't be able to hold back soon," Ye Xiao said.

Wu Shengchang said, "Yes, oh, and there's more good news—Azure Dragon Company is now in conflict with Hong Company. Since both I and Master Ma are in Jinling District, the battle hasn't reached here yet."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao heard this and was somewhat surprised, "What happened?"

Wu Shengchang quickly recapped the events of last night.

Ye Xiao listened and was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "No wonder Wang Luoxin and Cheng Yun didn't get up for breakfast this morning. They must've done quite a bit of damage last night, indeed they worked hard."

Ye Xiao said, "This situation can definitely be leveraged. Now that Hong Company and Azure Dragon's headquarters are in conflict, it's a great opportunity for you—if you're lucky, it might not even take a week."

"Yes, hahaha, oh, and I've already contacted Zhang Zhihu and he's expressed interest in forming an alliance with me," Wu Shengchang said.

Ye Xiao said, "There's no need to tell me about these things, just handle it yourselves. I don't want to get involved."

Wu Shengchang, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately agreed.
