14: Chapter 0014: Scolding the Beautiful Wife 14: Chapter 0014: Scolding the Beautiful Wife In the president’s office of the Huangtu Corporation, Ye Xunhuan was lounging on the sofa, lazily puffing on a cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke with a contented expression on his face.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan’s languid demeanor, Qiu Ruoxi really wanted to slap the bastard dead in front of her.
He must think that this place is his home, acting as he pleases, causing such a mess as soon as he arrived at the company.
When she asked him, he even had the gall to act indifferent, without any intention of explaining himself to her.
Now that he had come into her office, he just sat on the sofa and started smoking, ignoring whatever she asked him.
The bastard was acting completely like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Qiu Ruoxi was so angry inside, she regretted letting this guy come to her company.
Go wherever you love, just don’t stay here!
“Ye Xunhuan, will you speak up or not?”
“Didn’t I just say it?
I didn’t like the look of him.” Ye Xunhuan responded nonchalantly.
“You…” Qiu Ruoxi trembled with rage from head to toe,
Although Qiu Ruoxi could be quite cold, no one could deny that she was very beautiful, especially with the proud demeanor of an empress, which could evoke the desire to conquer in countless men.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many young masters desperately creating encounters with Qiu Ruoxi to get close to her.
Unfortunately, no matter how you tried to approach her, she could douse you with cold water, sending a shiver down your spine.
Qiu Ruoxi immediately felt Ye Xunhuan’s unfocused gaze and the chill in her brows thickened: “Where are you looking?”
“Of course, I am looking at you.” Ye Xunhuan met Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze with all the seriousness of a moral guardian, “Didn’t your teacher teach you in school that when you talk to someone, you have to look at them to show respect?”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi clenched her white teeth fiercely together.
This bastard, no matter what, always had an argument at the ready—even if you saw through his intentions, he could still make his case sound righteous.
Immediately afterward, Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, her voice cold as ice pearls: “Ye Xunhuan, this is the company, not your home…”
“I know.” Ye Xunhuan immediately cut her off: “And I also know this is your office.”
“Since you know this is the company, please restrain yourself a little…”
“But you’re also my wife.”
“You…” Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate frame shook with rage, at a loss for words to counter Ye Xunhuan.
What he said was true, even though she detested this surprise husband with every fiber of her being, he was still, undeniably her husband, a fact set in stone, unalterable!
“Wife, has anyone ever told you that you look more enticing when you are angry than when you’re just keeping a straight face?” Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick plume of smoke from his mouth.
Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes, like autumnal waters, instantly transformed from icy coldness to blazing heat, wishing to spew flames and reduce Ye Xunhuan to ash and bone.
At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi felt as if there was a firestorm in her heart, on the verge of going berserk, but ultimately, she suppressed her raging emotions with sheer willpower: “Ye Xunhuan, tell me right now why you hit someone in the company?”
Qiu Ruoxi knew she couldn’t keep arguing with this scoundrel.
If she continued this nonsense, she might just die of sheer frustration.
“Do you believe me if I say it?”
“How would I know if you don’t tell me?”
“I just really can’t stand him.”
Qiu Ruoxi could no longer bear it and suddenly slammed her hand on the table, shooting up from the office chair, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at Ye Xunhuan, her slender and pale right hand shaking as she pointed at him.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Xunhuan didn’t wait for Qiu Ruoxi to speak, and said, “I can’t believe you don’t know why I took action!”
“Fine, I’ll ask you then, what kind of person is the HR manager Kang Huaiyuan?” Ye Xunhuan sneered, “Don’t tell me you don’t know?”
“I…” Qiu Ruoxi was at a loss for words for a moment.
She did know something about Kang Huaiyuan’s character, and there were plenty of rumors about his affairs in the company.
But Qiu Ruoxi saw Kang Huaiyuan as talented, and although his personal life was a bit disreputable and he often messed around in the company, he was capable, and had not caused any trouble, so Qiu Ruoxi turned a blind eye to his behavior.
And recently, Qiu Ruoxi was pushing for a major reform with Qin Muge, and Kang Huaiyuan was on the list for the reform.
“To keep such scum in the company, I really don’t understand what you’re thinking?”
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twisted with a sneer, “You know he’s scum but you still keep him, have you lost your mind?”
“He is scum, but he is still very capable, and I’m currently…”
Ye Xunhuan laughed coldly, cutting off Qiu Ruoxi, “Qiu Ruoxi, are you out of your mind?
Just because he’s capable, you want him, regardless of what kind of person he is?
Are you saying that as long as someone is talented, no matter their character, you’d want them on board?
So, if a murderer could make you money, you’d take them in too…”
“That’s different, you can’t mix up those two things!”
“Fine, you say he’s capable, which probably just means he can help you make money.
He has made money indeed, but do you realize how many employees in your company, who dedicate themselves to your cause, work for you, earn for you, he has hurt?” Ye Xunhuan reproached, “They’re not capable?
They can’t make money for you?”
“You think with him alone you can make money, but I tell you, without those grassroots employees, forget making money, your company could very well collapse overnight.” Ye Xunhuan stated emphatically, “I don’t understand how you businesses operate!”
“But what I do know is the principle that in the marketplace, the customer is king, and that applies to any company.”
“Employees are also king; without employees, you’re nothing.” Ye Xunhuan spoke relentlessly, “You’re wealthy, sure, and your company’s compensation is decent, no doubt!”
“But I dare say, the moment another company emerges that can match your offer, many will immediately jump ship, believe it or not?”
“Qiu Ruoxi, I’m telling you today, it’s not that I look down on you, but with your way of employing people, if the Huangtu Group doesn’t go bankrupt, I’ll be your lackey from then on!”
