Heart Stealer

Xiao Tuobang lingered at the entrance of the Ye Group's financial department for a long time.

He has always been thin-skinned and has never bowed his head to beg for mercy from anyone since he was a child.

Xiao Tuobang paced back and forth at the door, his mood fluctuating between hesitation and nervousness.

He didn't know if he could muster up the courage to walk into the Finance Department and get a vacation for his cousin.

His heart was full of contradictions and anxieties, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

After careful consideration, Xiao Tuobang decided to go back and persuade his cousin to quit her job and go to work at Qiu Group.

He turned and walked towards the elevator door. The elevator was still on the first floor. He pressed the button and waited absentmindedly for the elevator to come up.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Xiao Tuobang walked in. Just as he was about to press the button, someone suddenly rushed over.

"Sir, wait a minute, wait a minute..."

When Xiao Tuobang saw that the person coming was none other than the disgusting Manager Liu from the Finance Department of Ye Group, he couldn't help but frown.

"Manager Liu, do you have anything else to do for me?"

Manager Liu breathlessly said, "Sir, I have good news for you. Your cousin Deng Minghui's leave has been approved. She can take as much time as she wants and make up for it when she comes back."

Xiao Tuobang was stunned at first, then asked in surprise: "Manager Liu, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. Sir, I was rude just now, please don't take it to heart. You are a magnanimous person, so please forgive my mistake, okay?"

Xiao Tuobang didn't have time to think about why Manager Liu suddenly made a 360-degree turn in his attitude.

My cousin got her leave, that’s the most important thing.

Not long after, Xiao Tuobang came to the company gate to meet Qiu Xue.

"How is it? Is it done?" Qiu Xue asked.

"Yeah, it's all done." Xiao Tuobang replied with a smile.

"Then let's go." Qiu Xue took Xiao Tuobang's arm and got into the car and left Ye's Group.

What they didn't notice was that in a black car in the distance, Ye Qingyun was watching all this quietly.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes...

Deng Minghui stayed at her cousin's house for a few more days. Under the careful care of her cousin's wife, her body gradually became rosy.

That morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the dining table. After finishing breakfast, Deng Minghui smiled, picked up a suitcase, and slowly went downstairs.

She walked into the living room and said to her busy cousin Xiao Tuobang and cousin Qiu Xue, "Brother, cousin, I have to go back to work. I'm sorry to bother you during this time."

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue looked at each other, with a hint of reluctance in their eyes.

They all knew that Deng Minghui needed to return to work, but deep down they hoped that she could stay here and take good care of her health.

Xiao Tuobang said, "Cousin, our house is very big and has many rooms. Why don't you just live here? It will be more convenient."

Deng Minghui looked at Xiao Tuobang and his wife with gratitude, her heart filled with warmth.

She knew that her cousin and cousin-in-law were really doing it for her own good, but she also had her own ideas and plans.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, cousin and cousin-in-law. I know you are thinking about me, but I still want to get back to work. I have rested well and now I am full of energy!"

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue nodded in understanding. They knew that Deng Minghui was an independent and strong person.

Qiu Xue walked forward, patted Deng Minghui's shoulder gently, and said, "Okay, cousin, if you need anything, please let us know. We will always support you."

Deng Minghui nodded, picked up her luggage bag, turned around and prepared to leave.

When she reached the door, she looked back at her cousin and cousin-in-law, with a determined light in her eyes: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, I will come back to see you often." After that, she walked out of the yard with light steps.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Deng Minghui's back gradually disappear around the corner.

In the finance office of the Ye Group's headquarters, Manager Liu saw the president personally call to ask for leave for the junior employee Deng Minghui.

She couldn't help but speculate that Deng Minghui must be someone important.

He secretly thanked God that he had not been too harsh on Deng Minghui before, otherwise he might have gotten into trouble.

Deng Minghui came to the Finance Department in high spirits.

As soon as she sat down, Manager Liu respectfully handed her a leave application and asked her to sign it.

She was a little surprised, but still signed her name with a stroke of the pen.

Manager Liu apologized cautiously, "Ms. Deng Minghui, I was in a bad mood when you took leave a few days ago, so I might not have been very nice. Please don't take it to heart."

Deng Minghui responded with a smile: "Manager Liu, I don't take it to heart. I made some mistakes too. We are all here for work, so let the past be the past."

Seeing Deng Minghui being so generous, Manager Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left happily.

Deng Minghui was busy for a whole morning and finally finished all the work.

She stretched, picked up the teacup and walked towards the tea room.

Along the way, she greeted her colleagues enthusiastically, showing confidence and vitality.

As soon as she left, several female employees started whispering to each other.

"Have you noticed that Manager Liu has suddenly become nicer to Deng Minghui?"

"Yes, Manager Liu was rude to her a few days ago, how come his attitude changed so drastically in just a few days?"

Another female employee next to her also turned around and joined in the fun: "Deng Minghui is not sick at all. I saw her riding the roller coaster with others at the amusement park a few days ago. They had a lot of fun."

A few people were talking excitedly, but Manager Liu had appeared beside them without them noticing. Her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

She said fiercely, "Have you guys talked enough? No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak. You keep chatting during work hours. You seem to have so much free time. When it's time to get off work, one, two, three, or four of you go get some water and mop the floor."

Manager Liu's voice echoed in the air, as if carrying a chill, making everyone present shiver.

The faces of several female employees turned pale in an instant. They lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

The atmosphere in the office became solemn, as if time had stood still.

Deng Minghui heard the noise behind her and turned around to look. Manager Liu's eyes happened to meet hers.

Manager Liu's eyes flashed with embarrassment. She cleared her throat and softened her tone: "Stop gossiping behind my back. Instead of that, spend your time working hard."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the office.

Several female employees looked at each other and groaned inwardly.

Deng Minghui looked at Manager Liu's departing back thoughtfully, and she seemed to understand something.

After get off work, the female employees obediently picked up the mop and mopped the floor, feeling very regretful.

Deng Minghui packed up her things early and left the company...
