Contract Bride, the power game of misplaced love

Ma Huaxia gave Li Zhijian an encouraging look. After a while, he left without Li Zhijian turning around.

She knew very well that if she left at this time, it would mean losing everything. She would still be a maid in Yunlin Villa. If she stayed, she might have a chance to make a comeback.

Walking into Ye Han's office, Li Zhixing felt a little regretful because Xiao Yuheng was looking at them calmly.

As soon as Ye Han saw Xiao Yuheng, his eyes lit up immediately and he said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yuheng's cold gaze fell on Li Zhijian, and the viciousness in his eyes made people shudder.

After a pause, he said calmly: "Ye Han, if you can cooperate with Ye Han, then I'll leave the company's affairs to you."

Ye Han nodded and said, "Boss Xiao, don't worry. I will risk my life to protect this foundation. The company will surely prosper under your leadership."

Xiao Yuheng looked at Li Zhijian and asked in a cold voice: "Why is she here?"

Ye Han was angry. When he heard Xiao Yuheng questioning Li Zhijian, he immediately said angrily, "Boss Xiao, this girl beat me up twice. Don't you know that?"

Xiao Yuheng looked as if he had seen a ghost: "Are you still not a match for a girl?"

Ye Han's body tilted slightly and he was about to speak.

Xiao Yuheng continued: "Those who don't lay hands on women are true gentlemen and should be praised."

Ye Han continued: "Boss Xiao, for Ma Huaxia, she attacked me twice. This woman is very arrogant."

Xiao Yuheng's face darkened and he asked coldly, "Is everything Li Zhijian said true?"

Li Zhijian then realized, was he going to torture her?

She was not afraid at all, she looked up and said, "Yes, yes."

Xiao Yuheng stared at her sinisterly, but before long, he spoke in a deep voice: "Ye Han, how are you going to deal with her?"

Ye Han's eyes swept over the two of them. His feeling was right. There must be something between the two of them, especially when he said that Li Zhijian beat him. Although Xiao Yuheng was scolding him, he seemed to be praising him for not beating a woman.

Ye Han was also a shrewd man, and he immediately smiled and said, "Boss Xiao, it's up to you. You're the boss, and I'll do whatever you say."

Xiao Yuheng frowned, his eyes fell on Li Zhijian, and he slowly said: "Ye Han, this matter belongs to the scope of work, you are the one who makes the decision."

Ye Han looked at Li Zhijian who showed no remorse at all and was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Although Xiao Yuheng was interested in her, he was also very dissatisfied with this unruly woman. He might as well take this opportunity to cure her illness and make him a real hero.

He smiled and said, "If you ask me, the best way to deal with it is to do more work, give her more money, and punish her for disrespecting her leader for half a month."

What? Li Zhijian would not agree to it. She said stubbornly, "I refuse."

Xiao Yuheng looked at her flushed face, secretly pleased, and continued: "Ye Han, what do you think of this punishment?"

Ye Han looked bewildered and stammered, "I can't say anything about this matter."

Xiao Yuheng smiled awkwardly as if he was watching a good show: "I think you should know very well what will happen if you beat me up again."

Ye Han's face flushed, and he kept shaking his head, saying humbly: "Boss Xiao, you are my boss, you are my savior, I won't do this."

Xiao Yuheng's complexion was obviously much better. He usually looked a bit playful, but at this moment, there was a hint of smile on his face.

Li Zhijian became more and more annoyed. Xiao Yuheng's next words left her speechless, "Ye Han, you should be grateful, especially to your superiors. Don't be the kind of person who burns bridges after crossing them."

It seems that gaining a foothold in the newspaper is not an easy task. Can she survive this?

He was provoking her, but Li Zhijian didn't buy it. The more he said it, the calmer she became.

Although the two were nervous in their hearts, they appeared calm on the surface.

Li Zhijian finally lost his patience.

Xiao Yuheng said, "I think this matter is not as simple as Ye Han said. We must set an example and establish our authority."

At this point, Xiao Yuheng turned his gaze towards Li Zhijian, as if to say, “Li Zhijian, just wait and see, I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done.”

After that, he said loudly: "She deserves a fine, but ten days or half a month is not enough. She should be locked up for at least a month. In addition, she is also responsible for the company's cleaning work. She can't let anyone else do it. This must be punished."

Li Zhijian immediately slapped the table: "Okay, do you want me to give you some more?"

Instead of getting angry, Xiao Yuheng smiled brightly: "Since you think so, that's good."

Li Zhijian's face became more and more gloomy. She was like a hen about to go into battle. Her hands kept rubbing together until water almost dripped out of them.

"None of these will work. You have to write me a 1000-word review every day. It's already good enough that you haven't been fired."

Li Zhijian really wanted to pack up and leave, but where could she escape to? She still remembered that she had been schemed against by him for the past two years. She couldn't meet Jiang Zhiyan every day, and no matter how much Xiao Yuheng disliked her, it was impossible for him to be in the newspaper every day.

Be patient for just one day.

She told herself that until things were cleared up, she would just have to be patient.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she neither agreed nor resisted.

“Well, Mr. Xiao is indeed a fair person. We are saved this time. Ma Huaxia’s days are over.”

Li Zhijian could only curse Ye Hanzhen, that bastard, over and over again in his heart.

In the past, he obeyed the editor-in-chief's orders, but now, things have changed.

The human heart is indeed the most unpredictable. She hoped that they would fall out sooner rather than later and make Xiao Yuheng bankrupt. Only then would he be in the mood to deal with herself.

Thinking of this, she felt a little embarrassed because there was no deep hatred between them.

Very annoying, very annoying.

Outside the window, the sun is scorching.

Li Zhijian felt a bone-chilling cold.

Xiao Yuheng was silent for a few seconds and looked at Ye Han: "Tell everyone that we will have dinner at Jin Man Lou this afternoon."

Jin Man Lou is the largest restaurant in City C. The people who come here to eat are all wealthy people. Ye Han was very happy. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tell them right away."

Ye Han walked quickly to Xiao Yuheng and said, "Boss Xiao, I need to tell the others first that I have some work matters to deal with, so I won't be back for the time being."

Li Zhijian felt something was wrong when listening to Ye Han's words. What was going on?
