Xiao Mo, seeing that Yao Yifan had not replied for a long time, began a barrage of emoji attacks.

Yao Yifan: "..."
She could indeed perform these actions. Yao Yifan unconsciously swallowed, grateful that she wasn't beside him at this moment.
Yao Yifan: 【I don't think you need to worry about this issue right now.】
Xiao Mo: 【Why?】
Yao Yifan: 【Because you've already told me that I will report this matter to Mr. truthfully.】
Xiao Mo was shocked.
Xiao Mo: 【I told you because I trust you, you can't betray me!】
Yao Yifan: 【I am Mr.'s assistant, and I have the right to report matters concerning Miss Song to Mr.】
【Also, a reminder, you are currently Miss Song's assistant. Although Mr. hired you at first, it is Miss Song who pays you and has the right to let you go. So don't casually reveal any information about your boss's whereabouts or details.】
After typing out these lines, Yao Yifan felt a trace of bewilderment.
He didn't know why he was saying so much to her with such earnestness. These words seemed like meddling to him.
He intended to delete them, but his hand slipped, and he accidentally clicked send.
Yao Yifan quickly tried to recall the message, but accidentally pressed delete instead.
"..."
Yao Yifan tossed his phone aside, thinking, "Destroy me."
However, being an executive assistant who had weathered storms with Lou Yuming, his expression quickly regained its composure.
The phone remained silent.
Yao Yifan tapped his fingers on the sofa, and finally reached for his phone.
On the other person's interface, the words "typing..." had been displayed at the top the entire time.
Yao Yifan waited and waited, but no message appeared.
Wait! ... It's working hours, and he's wasting time waiting for a message instead of working!
As an executive assistant who solves problems for his boss, this is dereliction of duty!
Yao Yifan's expression turned serious again.
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
"Assistant Yao, this is the new proposal submitted by the planning department this month. Please take a look."
Yao Yifan gave a faint "Mm" and then began to carefully review the document.
The department head observed Yao Yifan's expression, feeling uneasy.
Assistant Yao truly lived up to his title, working so diligently even with his arm in a cast! No wonder Mr. Lou valued him so highly!
"Here."
Yao Yifan quickly spotted the issue: "There's a calculation error in sales. It should be three thousand four hundred and fifty-seven, with two hundred sets underestimated. Missing two hundred sets a month, do you know what that means?"
His questioning tone was exactly like Mr. Lou's!
The department head trembled, "I... I'll have someone correct it immediately!"
*Buzzz—*
The phone finally vibrated.
But Yao Yifan had no time to check it. Once he was fully immersed in his work, it was difficult for him to disengage.
*Buzzz!*
It vibrated again.
Seeing Yao Yifan's brow furrowed tighter as he read the proposal, the department head quickly spoke up, trying to divert his attention.
"Assistant Yao, your phone rang. It might be important. Perhaps you should check? The proposal isn't urgent. I can go back and optimize it again, and it will still be ready for you tomorrow!"
The proposal was indeed lacking originality.
Yao Yifan didn't want to waste any more time. He nodded slightly, then picked up his phone to check the message. The next second, the phone dropped onto the table with a *bang*.
The department head, who had been secretly preparing to slip away, felt a chill down his spine upon hearing the noise.
He turned back with a forced smile, "Assistant Yao, if the proposal isn't satisfactory, we can revise it. Please don't be angry..."
Seeing the change in Yao Yifan's expression, the manager glanced down and caught sight of the screen's content.
Xiao Mo: 【... Are you implying that I'm a traitor?】
Xiao Mo: 【So that's how you see me!】
Xiao Mo: 【Alright, sorry to bother you, Assistant Yao!】
Yao Yifan, in his surprise, sent a question mark.
But it appeared with a red exclamation mark.
Mo Mo Mo enabled friend verification. You are not yet friends with him/her. Please send a friend verification request first...
The manager: Wow! What an earth-shattering gossip! Assistant Yao got dumped?!!
"Why are you still here?"
Yao Yifan's gaze was icy, his tone laced with a hint of melancholy, scaring the manager into a hasty retreat.
"I didn't see anything, I don't know anything!"
"..."
Yao Yifan hadn't expected this. He replayed his previous conversation with her, finding no fault. He had even tried to be concise so she could understand, yet this was the outcome.
Where did he go wrong?
Meanwhile.
Upon arriving at the commercial plaza, Song Xi was the first to get out of the car. She noticed Xiao Mo still sitting inside, holding her phone, looking lost.
She called out, "Xiao Mo?"
Xiao Mo snapped back to attention and responded, then quickly got out of the car.
She took a black hat and a mask from her prepared backpack.
"Sister Song Xi, please put these on."
Song Xi pointed at Ye Hai, "I have a mask. Ye Hai gave it to me before we got out of the car. I don't need the hat; it's too conspicuous."
Xiao Mo pouted, annoyed that someone had beaten her to it.
"Let's go," Song Xi said.
Xiao Mo quickly stepped in front of Ye Hai, creating distance between them.
Ye Hai found it baffling but didn't dwell on it.
