Heart Stealer

Ye Qingyun had a stern face and walked into his somewhat deserted office with heavy steps.

He had just sat down in front of the huge solid wood desk and had no time to catch his breath when he saw Deng Minghui pushing the door open quietly, holding a thick document.

Ye Qingyun's eyes, which were already filled with gloom, emitted two rays of cold light as ice the moment he caught sight of Deng Minghui.

Without saying a word, he almost threw the important document about the new project in his hand in front of Deng Minghui.

"Secretary Deng, no matter what, you must collect all the relevant information for this new project today! No omissions or delays are allowed!"

Ye Qingyun's voice was low and stern, revealing unquestionable majesty, and it hit Deng Minghui's heart like a heavy hammer.

Faced with this sudden and extremely difficult task, Deng Minghui couldn't help but look embarrassed.

She hesitated again and again, mustered up her courage, and asked cautiously,

"Vice President Ye...but it's already time to get off work. Can this work be postponed for a day?"

Before she could finish her words, Ye Qingyun had already glared at her fiercely. His eyes were sharper than a knife, and they made Deng Minghui shiver involuntarily.

Ye Qingyun shouted in a tough tone without room for negotiation: "Absolutely not! When I come to work tomorrow morning,

If you don’t see the complete new project materials on my desk, then you can pack up and get out!”

Hearing this, Deng Minghui bit her lips tightly, and a trace of grievance and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Even though she was full of complaints and dissatisfaction about this unreasonable overtime request, she knew very well the temper of her boss, who would not allow her to say a word of defense.

"Yes, Vice President Ye, I understand."

Deng Minghui picked up the documents and quickly turned around and fled the office that made her feel stressed like a frightened rabbit.

Ye Qingyun was the only one left in the office, and he rubbed his temples irritably.

In fact, he didn't want to make things difficult for Deng Minghui, but this project was related to his status in the family and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Deng Minghui, who was forced to work overtime, thought about the heavy mortgage repayments every month, so she had to quietly walk to the computer desk and sit down.

Deng Minghui turned on her computer and began to work, searching for information while secretly complaining in her heart.

The office was eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of keyboard tapping, as if telling of Deng Minghui's helplessness.

At this moment, a crisp cell phone ring suddenly rang. Deng Minghui saw that it was a call from her niece's kindergarten teacher.

Her brother and sister-in-law were on a business trip these two days and asked her to take care of her niece, so Deng Minghui hurriedly answered the phone.

The teacher told Deng Minghui that her niece had a fever in kindergarten and she needed to take the child to the hospital immediately.

Deng Minghui's heart instantly rose to her throat, and her soul seemed to have been taken away from her, and her mind went blank.

Her already pale face was now even more bloodless, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Like a lost lamb, she helplessly cast her gaze at Ye Qingyun's closed office door, her eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Deng Minghui finally made up his mind.

She took a deep breath and walked towards Ye Qingyun's office with slightly heavy steps.

Every step she took felt like she was stepping on cotton, soft and without any strength.

Arriving at the door, Deng Minghui raised her trembling hand and knocked gently.

After hearing a low and magnetic "come in" from inside.

She pushed the door open carefully and stepped into the office that made her feel stressed.

Deng Minghui walked to Ye Qingyun's door, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly at Ye Qingyun's stern face.

Her heart was beating like a little rabbit in her chest.

Deng Minghui stammered with a slightly trembling voice, "Vice President Ye... Vice President Ye, I'm sorry to bother you. My niece is seriously ill, and I need to take some time off to go to the hospital to take care of her."

Ye Qingyun sat at his desk, not even raising his head, but just glanced at her coldly.

"Which is more important, work or your niece? Think carefully! The company is not a charity. We will not let your personal affairs affect the progress of the entire project."

After hearing these words, Deng Minghui felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

But her slightly trembling body betrayed her inner pain.

When she thought of her little niece lying alone in the hospital bed, she suppressed her sadness, gritted her teeth, turned around and left the office silently.

Deng Minghui trotted all the way to the kindergarten.

When she saw her little niece's face, which looked particularly haggard due to illness, she felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

She hugged her little niece in her arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, baby. Auntie is here and will definitely cure your illness."

Ye Qingyun looked at Deng Minghui's departing back and shook his head helplessly.

Deng Minghui's departure will inevitably have a certain impact on the progress of the new project.

But there's nothing he can do. Who told him to have such an unreliable subordinate?

Ye Qingyun had no choice but to work overtime himself to collect all kinds of information needed for the new project to ensure that the project could proceed smoothly.

……

In the morning, sunlight shines through the gauze-like curtains onto the floor.

The secretary brought him stacks of documents, but Xiao Tuobang had no intention of working.

He slowly stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, reached out to pull open the curtains, and then pushed the window open with force.

Fresh air blows in my face, mixed with a hint of coolness.

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Tuobang found that today's weather was just like his mood.

Sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is cloudy, making it unpredictable.

The secretary gently pushed open the door and walked in, saying respectfully, "President, the heads and managers of all departments are here. Please go over and preside over the meeting."

"okay, I get it."

Xiao Tuobang came back to his senses from his thoughts and nodded slightly.

"It's time to end this marriage..."

Xiao Tuobang recited these words silently in his heart, as if these words carried a heavy burden. With each syllable he uttered, his heart became more determined.

He clearly realized that he could not delay any longer.

Otherwise, he might fall into the whirlpool of emotions for Qiu Xue again and be unable to extricate himself.

He and Qiu Xue had a wonderful time together, but now everything has become a thing of the past.

Recalling the days he spent with Qiu Xue, Xiao Tuobang couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

A short pain is worse than a long one. Instead of lingering on, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and give each other a new beginning.

Xiao Tuobang stood up, straightened his clothes, and then walked steadily towards the meeting room.

The moment he stepped into the conference room, the slightly depressed atmosphere that had been lingering around him disappeared without a trace.

What replaced it was the awe-inspiring majesty of the past.

His face was stern and his eyes were sharp as torches as he looked at everyone present seriously.

Everyone felt his powerful aura and straightened their backs and sat up straight.

Xiao Tuobang coughed twice, cleared his throat, and announced in a low and magnetic voice,

"Now, the meeting officially begins. Today we are going to discuss the company's development plan for the next stage."

Xiao Tuobang's voice was deep and powerful. "I hope everyone can come up with practical and feasible plans to ensure that the company can continue to maintain its good development momentum."

The meeting went smoothly, with supervisors and managers from various departments speaking up and putting forward their own views and suggestions.

Xiao Tuobang listened carefully to everyone's opinions and nodded in approval from time to time.
