The big star has a prince syndrome

Chapter 88 Loneliness and grievance

Obviously everyone blamed Xu Qingran for this mistake. After whispering a few words, everyone began to question his identity as a sports student.

Behind the office door, Xu Qingran untied his tie and draped his suit over his shoulders without putting it into his sleeves. His handsome face was slightly tired. He was already annoyed because he didn't have a date last night, and now not only was he still sleepy, but he also heard his subordinates questioning his ability.

He snorted coldly, then opened the door without warning. Under the astonished gaze of his subordinates, he looked at them and chuckled:

"I know everyone has complaints. After so many days of hard work, there are still mistakes. It's indeed my fault. Three people took two days to calculate such a complex data set. I should have spent another two days to verify it myself. To compensate you, I will pay you double the overtime pay for today out of my own pocket. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Unless one has a mental problem, no one would really think that he was admitting his mistake. The scene suddenly fell silent. The few people who had just spoken kept their heads down, so embarrassed that they wanted to open the drawer and put their heads in it.

Xu Qingran didn't bother with them too much, and didn't even ask for their apology before leaving. There were some things that he didn't need to do in person, as someone else would do them for him.

Assistant Qiao Lin just happened to witness everything. After Xu Qingran left, he stood up and warned coldly:

"This is the first and last time. Talking about your boss behind his back, shirking responsibility for work mistakes, either of these is a major taboo in this company. If you do it again, I'm not sure you'll have another chance to resign voluntarily. Okay, go back and get some rest."

"I understand, Assistant Qiao..." Everyone answered in unison. Qiao Lin was the assistant that Lin Anyi transferred from the chairman's office to Xu Qingran to temporarily assist him. No one dared to disrespect him.

This is a good thing for Xu Qingran. With a capable assistant, he can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Qingran slept for about two hours, but the first thing he did after getting in the car was to take out his mobile phone to check today's entertainment charts. After making sure there was no negative news about Ye Yan, he closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

Qiao Lin saw from the rearview mirror that he had closed his eyes, so he stopped talking to him and quietly sent him back to his villa.

"Help me check my schedule for the next week. Book a flight for the day you're free. You know where I'm going."

Before getting off the car, Xu Qingran unbuckled his seat belt and gave Qiao Lin a task. Qiao Lin understood it immediately. Apart from going to see Ye Yan, what else could he do so enthusiastically?

"Okay, no need for a private jet?"

"No, my mother will keep nagging me if she finds out. From now on, meeting Ye Yan will be my secret itinerary. I trust you so much, you won't betray me, right?"

Xu Qingran looked at him with pretended suspicion. After all, he was the person Lin Anyi found for him. No matter how capable he was, he had to be more careful.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. I was transferred here by Director Lin, but I'm not her spy. I belong to whoever I'm with. I might report some of your situation to Director Lin, but I know what I shouldn't say. After all, the things you sent out were all prepared by me. If Director Lin knew about it, I wouldn't be in any good situation."

Qiao Lin promised sincerely, then got out of the car and went around to the back seat to drive for Xu Qingran.

Xu Qingran was very satisfied with his smooth approach. After getting out of the car, she stood in front of him and whispered, "In addition to your actual salary, I will give you an extra 10,000 yuan every month. All you have to do is help me arrange a date with Ye Yan, and I will let you do anything he needs. Is that okay?"

"No problem, I'm your assistant. I'll do whatever you say, both in work and in life."

Qiao Lin affirmed that young people are more receptive to it, and if there is money to be made, only a fool would not do it.

Xu Qingran felt relieved when he said that, and immediately gave him a look of approval: "I like smart people who know how to deal with current affairs. Work hard, and I guarantee that you will get a promotion and a raise in the future and reach the pinnacle of your life."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. I will arrange your trip to City S as soon as possible. See you tomorrow."

On the right track, Xu Qingran thought to himself, patted Qiao Lin's shoulder with satisfaction and walked into the villa gate.

He wanted to catch up on some sleep today, but even though he was extremely sleepy, he still sent Ye Yan a message before going to bed.

Ye Yan was training his fighting scenes in the gym as usual today. During the break, Xiao Rui handed him his phone with a water cup in one hand and his phone in the other, and acted as if she had been his assistant for several years.

Ye Yan did not take the cup of water, but took the mobile phone first and opened the social software. Sure enough, there was a message from Xu Qingran.

Xu Qingran: "I worked overtime last night. I'll call you when I wake up. Mua."

After reading the message, Ye Yan had a faint smile on his face. He did not reply to Xu Qingran and exited their chat box because he knew that as soon as he replied, that clingy guy would keep talking to him even if he didn't sleep.

Just as he was about to lock the screen and return the phone to Xiao Rui, he noticed a red mark in the list.

It was his biological mother Zhou Yun.

Mom: Long time no see, Xiaoyan. How's work going lately? Here's the thing: Your Uncle Yu has invested all the family money in mutual funds. Now his eldest son is getting married, so could you lend me some money first? I'll pay you back when his mutual funds make some money.

This was not the first time Zhou Yun asked him for money, although not many times, but each time it was for the child of her second husband. To be honest, Ye Yan did not feel comfortable. His biological mother actually took advantage of her own son for the sake of someone else's child.

Thinking back to the time when he was in junior high school and wanted to ask Zhou Yun for 200 yuan for living expenses, his stepfather had to nag him for a long time, and reminded him in words and deeds that he had to keep a record of the money and that he must not be ungrateful and must pay it back when he grows up.

From then on, Ye Yan never asked Zhou Yun for money again, not even the child support that Zhou Yun should give him.

In order to make money quickly to support himself in his studies, he later joined the crew as an extra. Starting with a daily salary of 200, he worked hard for countless days and nights, and finally he got to his current annual salary of million, or even more.

Ye Yan: How much do you want?

He still replied to Zhou Yun, because she was his biological mother after all. If he didn't give her some of the money he earned, her husband would definitely not be nice to her. He didn't want his mother's family to be in disharmony, just like her previous marriage.

Maybe she was just waiting for his reply. Less than a minute after he sent the message, the message came.

Mom: About 10 million, to buy a two-story villa, so it will be convenient for you to stay during the Chinese New Year.

Ten million is not a lot for Ye Yan, but when he saw this number, he still felt an endless sense of loss in his heart.

Who gives these office workers who earn 5,000 yuan a month the courage to buy a villa worth 10 million yuan? Of course, it is him, the free ATM.

He suddenly felt deeply disappointed with Zhou Yun. He used to think that she was forced to do so, but now seeing her asking for 10 million as if it was her due, he didn't know how to feel.

His mother, who had abandoned him, was now demanding the fruits of his eight years of hard work for the sake of someone else's child.

Ye Yan: A villa worth 10 million, even if he earns enough from his fund, he can't afford it. If you want them to not be able to buy it, then stop daydreaming. Mom, you can just bring your brother to live with me and I will support you. Why do you have to let me help you support a bunch of vain losers? His son is getting married, which has nothing to do with me. Don't use my name to brag, I'm not their ATM.

He still refused, and even after refusing, his hands were still shaking with anger. It was not about the money, but he could not accept that his mother used him as a tool for an unworthy marriage. He also needed family and love, but now, apart from money, Zhou Yun rarely contacted him on her own initiative.

"What's wrong, boss?" Xiao Rui asked in a low voice when she saw that he was in a bad mood. He shook his head, turned off the phone and handed it to Xiao Rui.

"It's okay, I'm just tired. Don't forget to barbecue at noon."

He changed the subject, then stood up and picked up the prop wooden sword. When he was unhappy, he liked to go to work. Work could make him forget all the unhappiness, even if it was only temporarily.
