The present Yang Yiyi finally reacted. The interview was about to be missed. She quickly helped up the damaged electric scooter from the ground and prepared to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't leave. I've already called the police. We'll just wait for them to arrive."
Wang Ming quickly stopped her. Ye Jinghuai had already left by taxi. He wasn't in a hurry now. He could afford to spend time here with her.
"I won't pursue it. Let go. I have something to do." Yang Yiyi was in a hurry for the interview and couldn't care about anything else now.
"How can that be? What, you don't care anymore after our young master left?" Wang Ming blocked her from leaving.
"What are you talking about? I'm going to be late. I have an interview today, and I can't delay any longer." Yang Yiyi's expression was a little anxious.
"Why weren't you afraid of being late just now? I'm telling you! If you don't care, I do. When the police arrive, I'll see whose fault it is. Neither of us will suffer."
Wang Ming felt a sense of relief at this moment.
Meanwhile, Ye Jinghuai arrived at the company with Nuannuan.
"Happy New Year to all the brothers and sisters!"
Nuannuan sat on Ye Jinghuai's arm, cupped her hands, and wished everyone a Happy New Year. Everyone was delighted.
"President, this is a red envelope that we all prepared for the young lady. It's a token of our appreciation."
Han Rui walked over with a smile, holding two thick red envelopes. Everyone originally planned to give them to Ye Jinghuai to take back, but they didn't expect the young lady to come today.
"You are very thoughtful." Ye Jinghuai did not refuse this time. At most, he would increase their bonuses this month.
"Nuannuan, this is for you from everyone." Ye Jinghuai placed them into Nuannuan's arms with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Han. Thank you, brothers and sisters."
Nuannuan thanked them obediently with both hands, clutching the red envelopes tightly, and tried to hide them in Ye Jinghuai's arms.
"Daddy~ Hurry and help Nuannuan put them away~ Hurry, hurry!"
As she spoke, she slyly stuffed them into Ye Jinghuai's arms, thinking she was speaking very softly, but everyone heard her.
"Pfft~" Someone couldn't help but laugh, then quickly covered their mouth with their hand.
"Alright, alright, Nuannuan, don't be in a hurry." Ye Jinghuai helplessly put away the red envelopes and immediately carried Nuannuan into the office.
"Daddy~ Make sure Uncle doesn't find out!"
As soon as they entered the office, Nuannuan mysteriously whispered into Ye Jinghuai's ear.
"Why?" Ye Jinghuai asked, puzzled.
"Brother told me yesterday that all the red envelopes these past few days were taken by Uncle! Uncle is too scary! He eats children's red envelopes!" Nuannuan patted her chest with lingering fear, glad that her daddy was helping her hide them.
"So Daddy must help Nuannuan hide them well~"
"Yes, Daddy will." Ye Jinghuai felt inexplicably happy now.
(Ye Jingchen: These two little rascals have ruined my image!)
"Ahhh! Why is the young lady so cute?"
Jin Linlin, outside, was stomping her feet and covering her mouth as she let out a low scream, recalling Nuannuan's performance.
Suddenly, the office fell into an eerie silence. Looking up, everyone was looking at her with astonishment.
"Cough~ What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty?" Jin Linlin arrogantly tossed her hair and then elegantly sat down.
Using the partition of her cubicle as cover, she quickly ducked down and buried her head on the desk, silently regretting it.
[Ahhh, I was so embarrassed just now!]
As Jin Linlin was pounding her chest and stomping her feet on the desk, a round little head poked out from beyond the partition.
Nuannuan looked at Jin Linlin's actions with wide, curious eyes, her round pupils filled with confusion.
"Sister~ What are you doing?"
"Ah!" Jin Linlin was startled and quickly sprang up.
Nuannuan was also startled by Jin Linlin's reaction.
"Whoa~ Young lady, I'm so sorry! Did I scare you?" Jin Linlin realized and quickly crouched down to check on Nuannuan.
"It's okay~ Nuannuan came to give this to you, sister." She said, spreading her small hands. In them was a piece of cake.
"Daddy said this is called 'Bu Bu Gao'... Gao..." Nuannuan racked her little brain but couldn't remember.
"It's 'Bu Bu Gao Sheng' (may your career advance steadily)." Jin Linlin happily accepted it.
"Thank you, young lady."
"You're welcome~ Everyone gets one!"
Nuannuan patted the small bag hanging on her body, which looked quite full from the outside.
Meanwhile, Yang Yiyi waited for the traffic police. The police quickly determined the responsibilities of both parties. And at Wang Ming's request, they showed Yang Yiyi the surveillance footage, indicating that the other driver had indeed not changed.
Although the responsibility lay with Wang Ming, Yang Yiyi also received safety education from the police officers, especially about not making phone calls while riding and wearing a helmet.
Yang Yiyi listened with one ear and let it out the other, secretly anxious in her heart, as the interview time was slipping away. By the time she left the traffic police team, half the day had passed. She had no choice but to call HR to try and reschedule the interview.
The HR representative regretfully informed her that once missed, it was missed. The company did not have such exceptions. Moreover, the time had been communicated multiple times beforehand. If any accident occurred, they could only express their regret.
The HR representative ignored Yang Yiyi's arguments on the phone and hung up directly. So many people wanted to join Ye Shi every year, and she wasn't a highly specialized talent. There was no need to make an exception for her.
Yang Yiyi hung up the phone indignantly, determined to try again at Ye Shi the next day. She had prepared for this interview for a long time.
The next day, Yang Yiyi rushed to Ye Shi, but was stopped by the receptionist.
"Beauty, please. I'm here for an interview. I had a car accident yesterday and couldn't make it. Please let me in!" Yang Yiyi clasped her hands together and pleaded.
"Miss Yang, you did have an appointment yesterday, but today we haven't received any notification from HR to have you come for an interview. I'm very sorry, you cannot go in." Wu Jiayi explained politely with a smile.
"I know, I know. Can you be flexible and let me try? You see, my name was indeed on the list yesterday, and I'm not someone who would just sneak in to do bad things." Yang Yiyi refused to give up.
"Miss Yang, I have already explained that it's really not possible. Unless HR calls us to notify, we really cannot let you in."
Wu Jiayi was very tired at this moment. She could understand Yang Yiyi's eagerness to find a job, but she also had her duties. She didn't want to repeat herself anymore.
Seeing that her pleading had been futile, Yang Yiyi had no choice but to give up. She then glanced at the elevator entrance nearby, her eyes darting around. Taking advantage of Wu Jiayi's inattention, she slipped towards the elevator.
"Hey! You can't go in!" Wu Jiayi was alarmed and quickly emerged from behind the counter.
Just as Yang Yiyi pressed the button for Ye Jinghuai's elevator, he was coming up from the basement. The elevator door suddenly opened, and Yang Yiyi "slid" right in.
"Get out!" Ye Jinghuai quickly pressed the button to stop the elevator and looked at her coldly.
"It's you! Do you know? Because of you, I missed my interview yesterday. Do you know how long I prepared for this interview?" Yang Yiyi was furious upon seeing Ye Jinghuai.
"Miss Yang, how could you sneak in? If you do this, I'll call security."
Wu Jiayi, wearing high heels, stumbled over and caught up. Upon seeing Ye Jinghuai, she realized this was the president's elevator.
"President." Wu Jiayi quickly stood up straight, looking somewhat frightened.
"You, you're the president? The president of Ye Shi?" Yang Yiyi was dumbfounded.
[It's over, it's over! Didn't I offend the boss yesterday? Yang Yiyi, Yang Yiyi, why were you so glib?]
"Heh, this beauty, I know your president." Yang Yiyi chuckled awkwardly.
"President Ye, we've met through our arguments, haven't we? You know, because you hit me yesterday, I was delayed for my interview. How about you be lenient and give me another chance?" Yang Yiyi smiled obsequiously, thinking that it's wise to adapt to circumstances.
"Oh? I remember you saying yesterday that you wouldn't bow for five pecks of rice." Ye Jinghuai said this teasingly, but anyone who knew him well knew he was very angry at the moment.
At least Wu Jiayi could tell and stood aside, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
"Nonsense, how could I say such a thing?" Yang Yiyi didn't think there was anything wrong with contradicting herself.
"Call security and have this intruder thrown out." Ye Jinghuai ignored her.
"Yes." Wu Jiayi quickly went to call for help.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't! I apologize to you, alright? I was blind and didn't recognize you. Can you not hold it against me?" Yang Yiyi clung to the elevator door pitifully, like a cornered little rabbit, begging earnestly.
If it were the original plot, Ye Jinghuai would have felt that the female lead's pathetic begging formed a stark contrast to her arrogance yesterday, making her exceptionally attractive.
He would then have a sudden whim to keep her by his side, purely to retaliate for her offenses yesterday and today. He would occasionally tease her, enjoying her being bullied. In the end, they would become a bickering couple and live happily ever after!
Unfortunately, Ye Jinghuai's mind was now crystal clear. He said nothing. When the security guards arrived, he simply had them escort Yang Yiyi out.
Thus, Yang Yiyi became the second person to be thrown out of the Ye Shi building, after Yun Mengmeng.
