"Alright, I'll take you back to the Feng family."
Feeling a little parched, Er Zhu feared he wouldn't be able to control himself. He took Li Mei's hand and started to walk out.
"No, let me stay tonight. Just for one night, okay?"
But Li Mei flung his hand away, cautiously extending a finger to ask.
Such a common thing between lovers had become a luxury for her and Er Zhu.
"Okay, then..."
Ring ring...
Before Er Zhu could finish speaking, the harsh ring of his mobile phone interrupted the warm atmosphere.
Li Mei lowered her head shyly, waiting. Er Zhu answered the phone.
"Boss, it's bad! All the senior executives at the company have resigned!"
As soon as the call connected, the anxious voice of Xu Tianze, the Executive President of Wang Corporation, came from the phone.
Five minutes ago, just as he was about to rest, he had received a resignation letter from a branch manager. He initially thought it was an isolated incident, but he never expected that within five minutes, all executives at the manager level and above under Wang Corporation would have submitted their resignation letters!
Thinking of this, Xu Tianze broke out in a cold sweat!
"Mhm, I know."
But Er Zhu appeared calm. He nodded slightly and was about to hang up.
"Boss, it's all the senior executives except me who have resigned!"
Seeing Er Zhu's calmness, Xu Tianze thought he hadn't explained clearly and anxiously added.
"Mhm." Er Zhu remained calm. He nodded slightly and hung up the phone.
If Chen Xiaoxiao hadn't returned to the country, Er Zhu might have been worried about this matter. But now that Chen Xiaoxiao was back, it was obvious why the senior executives had collectively resigned!
Seeing that so many wealthy individuals couldn't acquire his assets, Chen Xiaoxiao wanted to dismantle it from within?
Unfortunately, that girl's IQ was too low!
"Er Zhu, what's going on?"
Seeing a cold glint flash in Er Zhu's eyes, Li Mei, concerned and confused, leaned closer. m..oΓg
At this late hour, Xu Tianze wouldn't call Er Zhu for no reason. If he did, it must be a disaster for Wang Corporation!
Thinking this, Li Mei's face grew even more anxious!
"It's nothing, just the senior executives collectively resigning."
Er Zhu smiled dismissively, speaking as he led Li Mei upstairs.
"What? Isn't Wang Corporation leaderless then!"
Hearing this, Li Mei's eyes widened, and her face turned even more grim!
Now, Er Zhu's assets were spread across every corner of China. If the senior executives all resigned, even Nezha couldn't manage everything!
Of course, it was possible to hire new people, but they would need time to familiarize themselves with the company and become capable of taking charge!
"Er Zhu, why did they all resign? What should we do?"
The more Li Mei thought about it, the more anxious and worried she became. She hugged Er Zhu tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's just a small matter. I'll handle it. Shall we go upstairs and rest first?"
Seeing Li Mei's tear-filled eyes, a hint of heartache flashed in Er Zhu's gaze. He gently stroked Li Mei's head, his gaze fixed on the distance in deep thought.
"Is that so? Mr. Wang is indeed good at comforting people!"
Li Mei was about to say something more when a sharp female voice came from the doorway.
The two looked up and saw Chen Xiaoxiao walking towards them with a wicked grin, her eyes full of smugness and arrogance.
Of course, Li Mei didn't recognize Chen Xiaoxiao; only Er Zhu could.
"Who are you? Did you instigate those executives to resign?"
Looking at the unfamiliar woman downstairs, Li Mei asked confusedly. Then, she suddenly thought of something, and a trace of anger flickered in her confused eyes!
Er Zhu had always run his business honestly. How dare someone target him!
This woman is detestable!
"Yes, it was me! Hahaha... Wang Er Zhu, you're finished!"
Facing the questioning, Chen Xiaoxiao didn't deny it. She threw her head back and laughed, her expression even more smug and arrogant.
With all the senior executives resigning, Wang Corporation would become an empty shell!
Even if Er Zhu knew it was her, he wouldn't be able to turn the situation around!
"You... Why did you do this?"
Seeing Chen Xiaoxiao laughing uncontrollably, Li Mei clenched her fists and asked angrily.
"Because I am Chen Xiaoxiao, and because I want revenge!"
As she spoke, a gust of wind blew, and a large number of Gu insects surged out from Chen Xiaoxiao's face, revealing her true appearance!
However, Chen Xiaoxiao, who was once as beautiful as a celestial being, had now become a shriveled old woman!
Not only that, but her eyes were unfocused, nearing blindness!
And these were the consequences of her practicing Gu arts!
"Ah!"
Li Mei screamed loudly when she recovered from the shock of Chen Xiaoxiao's ferocious face. She never expected Chen Xiaoxiao to become like this!
"Are you scared? But do you know that all of this is because of you two!"
Seeing Li Mei curled up in Er Zhu's arms, Chen Xiaoxiao became even more enraged. Her already ferocious face contorted further!
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been so severely injured, nor would I have learned Gu arts!"
"But it's good that I've gotten my revenge!"
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Er Zhu and Li Mei with fury. Her once gentle voice had become hoarse and chilling!
"Mhm, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"
Er Zhu nodded slightly and snapped his fingers. Instantly, over fifty men in suits and ties rushed in.
"You might not know this, but I also have a business school, and the courses there are based on the current situation of Wang Corporation. So, they can be deployed at any time and take charge independently!"
Pointing at the men, Er Zhu spoke slowly.
Chen Xiaoxiao stared at these men, utterly shocked!
She had paid a great price to instigate those senior executives to resign. She thought she could defeat him with one move, but she never expected it to be insignificant to her opponent!
"The business school was established precisely for the scenario of executives leaving. I just didn't expect to use it so soon."
Seeing Chen Xiaoxiao on the verge of collapse, Er Zhu smiled and continued casually.
"No! This is impossible!"
Chen Xiaoxiao covered her head and roared in disbelief.
Before this, she had investigated all of Er Zhu's assets, and there was no business school!
But Wang Er Zhu's calm demeanor suggested that he was telling the truth!
Chen Xiaoxiao scanned the men again and again, her sanity now on the brink of collapse!
Li Mei, nestled in Er Zhu's arms, also looked at Er Zhu with shock. No wonder Er Zhu was so calm when he heard about the collective resignation of the senior executives; he had been prepared all along!
Thinking this, a look of adoration flashed in Li Mei's shocked eyes. She leaned gently against Er Zhu's chest and held him tighter...
