Chapter 913: Chapter 932: Burying Oneself in Studying Hard Chapter 913: Chapter 932: Burying Oneself in Studying Hard Back at his desk, Lin Yi placed his materials on the table and then picked up his phone to dial Li Yunxiao’s number.

“Hello, Yunxiao, it’s Lin Yi,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Yeah, Lin Yi, you’ve arrived at the office, right?” Li Yunxiao asked with a laugh.

“I just got in, haven’t been here long,” Lin Yi chuckled.

“Oh, is that so? Well then, how about we go out for coffee in half an hour?” Li Yunxiao suggested.

“Sure, I’m just bored in the office anyways, I’ll join you,” Lin Yi readily agreed.

After hanging up, Lin Yi glanced at the materials on his desk and continued to bury his head in studying them.

…

Lin Yi arrived at the cafe and, looking at the street view outside the window, suddenly felt a sense of tranquility in her heart, as if everything had calmed down.

She knew that at this moment, she had already blended into her new life.

A month later, Han Xuan returned to the country, and Lin Yi finally saw the real Han Xuan.

Throughout that month, Han Xuan had stayed within the company, but Lin Yi had never seen him.

Over the month, Han Xuan dealt with all the big and small matters of the company and signed some important documents.

Although Lin Yi was not a businessperson, she could still tell that the company’s development was rapid, returning its initial investment in just half a month, and it was still expanding quickly.

This made Lin Yi very happy and secretly glad about her decision.

That day, as Lin Yi was looking at a document, she suddenly heard a sound from her computer, “Dingling~ Dingling~ Dingling…”

She looked up to see two lines of English letters on the screen: mylove!

“mylove?” Lin Yi frowned, “Could it be him? But, what does this mean?”

She thought curiously and then clicked her mouse.

A “beep” sound later, a photo popped up on the computer.

Lin Yi examined the photo closely, realizing it was Han Xuan.

Han Xuan was dressed in a black suit, standing by the windowsill, his face impassive and hard to read.

Seeing this photo, Lin Yi suddenly experienced a rush of inexplicable excitement and tension.

“He’s here, that’s Han Xuan, he’s here!” Lin Yi murmured to herself, then excitedly clicked “yes!”

Afterward, Lin Yi saved the photo and then set it as her phone’s screensaver.

After a month apart, Han Xuan looked even more handsome, about 185 centimeters tall, wearing a black suit, his whole figure seemed like a prince stepping out of a comic book.

“Lin Yi!” Suddenly, a man’s voice came from behind.

Hearing the voice, Lin Yi turned to look, only to see Zhao Xuemei smiling warmly at her.

“Oh, Miss Zhao, what can I do for you?” Lin Yi withdrew her gaze and then asked with a smile.

“Can’t I look for you without a reason?” Zhao Xuemei said with a laugh.

“No, of course you can,” Lin Yi quickly shook her head, realizing she had forgotten that Zhao Xuemei was also a girl, and a pretty girl at that.

“That’s fine then, you take a seat, we’ll go out for a meal in a bit,” Zhao Xuemei smiled and said.

“Mhm,” Lin Yi responded.

Before long, Zhao Xuemei led Lin Yi out of the cafe and then to a nearby restaurant to order food.

“We’ll have two cups of coffee,” Lin Yi told the server.

“Alright, just a moment,” the server nodded with a smile and then turned to attend to other tasks.

“Lin Yi, where are you working now? Is it very tiring?” Zhao Xuemei took a sip of her coffee and asked after putting down her cup.

“I… I am the new assistant,” Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully.

“Mm, it’s tough being new, but you’re doing great, becoming an assistant at such a young age. It looks like I can introduce you to President Han in the future,” Zhao Xuemei nodded and said.

“Yes, I will work hard,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“You’re very modest. I have high hopes for you!” Zhao Xuemei smiled slightly, expressing her admiration.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but grin. It seemed that she had hit it off with Zhao Xuemei today.

“Ding-a-ling-a-ling…”

Just as Lin Yi and Zhao Xuemei were talking, a sudden urgent ring of the phone broke the silence.

Lin Yi looked down at the caller ID, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Miss Lin, this is President Li. Where are you now?” Li Yunxiao’s voice came through the phone.

“I’m currently at the cafe chatting with a friend. I’ll be right there,” Lin Yi hurriedly responded.

“Then you must come to my office immediately. This matter is very serious,” said Li Yunxiao in a grave tone, before hanging up the phone.

The busy tone of “beep beep” echoed in the receiver, and a foreboding feeling suddenly crept into Lin Yi’s heart.

“Lin Yi, President Li is asking you to come to the office. Is there some emergency?” Zhao Xuemei asked with concern.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, managed to squeeze out a smile, and said, “Nothing much, just a rather serious matter.”

“Then you should hurry over, don’t delay any further,” Zhao Xuemei urged.

“Yes, I’ll go now,” said Lin Yi with a nod, and then hurriedly left the cafe and headed straight for Li Corporation.

In the Li Corporation headquarters office.

Li Yunxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with his hands clasped behind his back, overlooking the constant flow of traffic below.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door.

Li Yunxiao turned his head towards the door and said indifferently, “Come in.”

Lin Yi pushed the door open and entered, then glanced down at her OL-style dress and unexpectedly felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Miss Lin, your work efficiency has been getting slower. Why did it take you so long to come here? I’ve grown a bit impatient,” Li Yunxiao turned to look at Lin Yi and asked with a frosty tone.

At hearing this, Lin Yi’s face turned pale.

She clenched her teeth and said, “I… I…”

“What about you? I asked you to come to the company immediately to work, not to throw a tantrum. Let me tell you, no one dares to be petulant in my presence!” Li Yunxiao’s face showed a hint of frost as he rebuked her coldly.

Startled by Li Yunxiao’s shout, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, standing there rigidly as if petrified, unable to utter a word.

“Speak up, are you mute? Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?” Li Yunxiao said with a sneer.

“I…” Lin Yi’s face changed colors and finally, after biting her lip, said, “I’m sorry, President Li, I… I realize my mistake.”

“Good that you know! Remember, at this company, I am the boss, and you are just an assistant. In my presence, no matter what I say, you have to obey unconditionally. Do you understand?”

Li Yunxiao’s tone was icy, his eyes narrowed into slits, emitting a sharp aura, like a drawn sword with its blade bared.

Lin Yi shuddered involuntarily. With her head bowed, she didn’t dare to talk back.

“Alright, go to work,” Li Yunxiao waved his hand, gesturing for her to leave.

“Yes, President Li,” Lin Yi replied, then slowly backed out of Li Yunxiao’s office.

After reaching the office door, Lin Yi couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Through the time she had spent with him, Lin Yi realized that Li Yunxiao was not as capricious as the rumors suggested. On the contrary, he was kind and approachable.

But the more so he was, the more dangerous Lin Yi felt he could be.
