Chapter 193: Abandoned Roses (1)

“No!” Zhao Youxi widened her eyes to the extreme and shouted. The next moment, she immediately lunged at Zhao Youlin.

The two security guards recovered their senses upon hearing Zhao Youxi’s shout. They strode forward and caught Zhao Youxi each at one side.

Zhao Youxi struggled with all her might. She kicked at the security guards as she dashed over to Zhao Youlin while shouting, “You wench! What right do you have sacking me?! What right do you have sacking me?! Let go of me! All of you, let go of me! Who the heck are you to have such guts to treat me like this?! Do you know who I am?! I am the young lady of the Zhao family. I am the chief director’s granddaughter or the president’s niece. How dare you treat me like this?! My father will hear of this when I get home. He is definitely going to fire all of you!”

The two security guards were stunned for a while. Then, they said as if they have been put in a difficult position, “I’m sorry, Ms. Zhao. The president and the chief director have instructed us that we will only heed the general manager’s instruction. As for the rest, we’ll have to disregard them.”

“You…!” Upon hearing this, Zhao Youlin was so angry that her eyes turned red. Just then, Zhao Youlin chipped in as if she still had not had enough of it.

“You can’t even help yourself. Yet, you still have the energy to shout. I wonder if you truly are that hot-tempered, or if you just have a few screws loose in your head.”

“You are the one with few screws loose…” Zhao Youxi’s expression darkened as she fought to gain verbal advantage. But, she was once again interrupted by Zhao Youlin.

“Zhao Youxi, you seem to have got it wrong since the beginning. When I said I want to kick you out of Zhao Enterprise, I wasn’t discussing it with you. In fact, I just wanted to inform you about it. Regardless of whether you’re willing, you must leave today. Moreover, from now on, Zhao Enterprise hereby closes its doors on you!”

Zhao Youlin was not a benevolent person. When someone bullied her, she would not suffer in silence, much less allow someone who could easily cause her trouble to stay with her, just like a ticking time bomb.

As Zhao Youlin had mentioned earlier, she could have sent Zhao Youxi to jail with the evidence in her hands. However, she did not want to do so.

Zhao Youlin wanted to hit where it hurt. Li Hongyu had spent her life planning for this. She had taken painstaking effort to enter the Zhao family all because she wanted the Zhao family’s fame, fortune, status and… its property.

If Li Hongyu were to find out that her daughter, whom she had taken great pains to send her to join Zhao Enterprise, had been kicked out of it without hesitation and in addition to that, she would never be able to get half of the Zhao family’s property, Zhao Youlin wondered how would she react to it.

Zhao Youlin felt really curious as she thought about it.

“Looking at you in such a pitiful state, let me tell you one more thing,” Zhao Youlin crossed her arms behind her back and smiled as she said. Then, she went up to Zhao Youxi. She bent down and whispered in a way that only the two could hear, “The reason why I joined Zhao Enterprise is not only because of the reason I told you earlier. It’s because of another reason that even Grandpa doesn’t know about it, which is…”

Zhao Youlin smiled when she saw Zhao Youxi giving her a fearful stare, “If my enemy covets something, even if I don’t want it, they definitely can’t have it. Your mother always wanted Zhao Enterprise, right? Go back and tell her that as long as I’m around, she should forget about her wishful thought of getting even a cent from Zhao Enterprise. I mean what I say!”

Zhao Youxi looked ghastly pale. Zhao Youlin straightened her body and cast a glance at the two bodyguards, “Toss her out.”

Zhao Youxi recovered her senses when the security guards dragged her out. Only then did she realize her current situation. Zhao Youxi could not help but shriek, “Zhao Youlin, you’ve gone too far! You dare to treat me like this, you’ll be sure to regret this in the future! You’ll definitely regret it!”

Zhao Youlin stood in place. She crossed her arms as she watched Zhao Youxi being dragged away. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile, “Regret? Let’s see who will regret it at the end of the day.”

After Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Zhao Youlin abruptly turned around and looked at her secretary. She spoke with a low voice, “Li, go to the human resource department later and have someone work on hiring a secretary, preferably one with some skills.”

When Li heard that Zhao Youlin was recruiting a secretary again, the glasses on the bridge of Li’s nose inevitably slid down. She looked at Zhao Youlin with teary eyes and said aggrievedly, “G-G-General Manager, are you going to abandon an understanding, cute and funny secretary like me?! Have I done anything wrong? General Manager, please tell me! I will change it right away!”

Zhao Youlin speechlessly looked at her stupid secretary. She fell silent for some time before she blurted out helplessly, “If you don’t change your dumb nature, I might really find someone to replace you someday!”

Upon hearing this, Li cradled her chest, as if she was suffering from a heart attack. Then, she gave Zhao Youlin an accusatory glare, ‘General Manager, how could you be so mean, ungrateful and unreasonable?!’

Zhao Youlin fell speechless. Finally, she gave in to Li’s resentful gaze that had turned more terrifying than a ghost. She heaved a sigh and said, “I don’t plan to replace you just yet. I just had the nagging thought that there are too many idiots in today’s society. It’s very dangerous for someone like you who doesn’t have any skills. As such, I want to look for a guy or a girl with some skills to stay with you. At least you will have some sort of protection. Don’t you agree?”

When Li heard Zhao Youlin say so, she froze. The next moment, her grief was turned into happiness, and she felt incredibly touched. She said, “General Manager, I’ve misunderstood you. Indeed, you still dote on me after all! You have been so thoughtful to me. From now on, I will work hard and live up to your high expectations!”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips unwittingly twitched when she looked at Li’s sparkling eyes. She looked up and pretended to think deeply. Now, she really wished for a secretary with normal behavior. What could be done?!

However, very soon Zhao Youlin forgot about this. This was because she had to face something more frustrating than this, and it gave her a headache.

“General Manager, here are the flowers for today.”

Xiao Jingyao shouted with a hint of glee. At the meeting room, all eyes were gathered on the large bouquet of roses in his hand.

Zhao Youlin was discussing with the heads of department about the potential problems for not achieving the targets for the quarter when she heard Xia Jingyao’s shout. She nearly bit her own tongue.

Zhao Youlin’s expression stiffened. She turned around and glared at Xiao Jingyao fiercely. When she met Xiao Jingya’s eyes with a hint of obvious glee, she instantly understood that this person had done it all on purpose!

If possible, Zhao Youlin had wished to ignore Xiao Jingyao as well as… the flowers in his hand. Unfortunately, Xiao Jingyao stood at the main entrance, and he remained there for a few minutes. Everyone in the company would spot that eye-catching bouquet.

Out of desperation, Zhao Youlin gave a wink at the heads of department so that they could discuss it among themselves first while she went to deal with Xiao Jingyao and that bouquet of flowers.

However, little did Zhao Youlin know that right after she left, the meeting room turned into an instant uproar.
