The receptionist's face instantly turned pale as her secret was exposed.
"Mr. Wang... Mr. Wang, I don't understand what you're saying," she stammered.
Wang Yu Yan let out a cold laugh. "Don't understand? Should I pull up the surveillance footage to see who picked you up yesterday? Wouldn't happen to be your paralyzed boyfriend, would it?"
Wang Yu Yan dared to say this because she had happened to see the receptionist getting into a man's car when she arrived at the company yesterday. Coupled with what she had just said and the evidence on the receptionist, Wang Yu Yan was ninety-nine percent sure she was right.
The surrounding colleagues thought about it, and considering Wang Yu Yan's credibility at the company, they all cast suspicious glances at the receptionist.
"Mr. Wang... Mr. Wang, it's not what you think... That, that's..." The receptionist was flustered and tried to explain, but Wang Yu Yan waved her hand, interrupting, "No need to say more. Go to accounting and collect this month's salary. Then you can go back and pay for your 'paralyzed' boyfriend's treatment."
With that, she pulled Qin Xuan and walked out.
Tang Ze reached out, wanting to say something, but before the words could leave his mouth, Wang Yu Yan had already exited. Enraged, Tang Ze smashed the flowers in his hand onto the ground, scattering petals everywhere. "Damn it, kid, don't let me find out who you are!"
After exiting the company doors, Wang Yu Yan released Qin Xuan's hand. Seeing Qin Xuan's silent demeanor, she nudged his shoulder and said softly, "What's wrong? Still angry? Not satisfied with the outcome just now? Should I find some more guys to deal with him..."
Before Wang Yu Yan could finish, Qin Xuan glared at her. "What are you talking about? For a woman, your language is so vulgar. I was just thinking."
Wang Yu Yan stuck out her tongue like a little girl and said, "I thought you were angry. Go on, Young Master Qin, what do you need me for?" Wang Yu Yan knew that Qin Xuan wouldn't seek her out without a reason.
Qin Xuan was also straightforward. He cut to the chase and explained the situation of Hong Yan Company from beginning to end. Upon hearing this, Wang Yu Yan's expression changed, and her brow furrowed. "How come I didn't know about this?"
"You just got back with me, so of course you wouldn't know," Qin Xuan replied. "Even two of the raw material companies under your group have stopped cooperating with Hong Yan Company. So I suspect someone within your company is sabotaging us..."
Wang Shi Group was one of the largest groups in Jiangbei, and Hong Yan Company had Wang Yu Yan's shares. Others would have to think twice before trying to harm Hong Yan Company. Moreover, Wang Shi Group had several major shareholders with significant stakes. Therefore, Qin Xuan suspected that Li Sheng Tian had likely found someone within Wang Shi Group. And among the major shareholders, it was highly likely to be one of them.
After a moment of thought, Wang Yu Yan said, "Are you sure? There are only a few major shareholders in the company: Uncle Fan, Uncle Dou, Uncle Wu..."
"I'm not sure, it's just a guess. Even if Li Sheng Tian is capable, he shouldn't have the authority to interfere with the companies under your group, right?"
Wang Yu Yan analyzed the situation and felt that Qin Xuan's words were plausible. She then looked up at Qin Xuan and said, "Wait for me to go back and investigate. I'll tell you as soon as I find anything."
For Tantai Yue's safety, Qin Xuan had asked her to stay home for a few days, and he himself would go to the company in her stead.
Arriving at the company building, the security guard, seeing it was Qin Xuan, didn't stop him, merely casting a fleeting glance. Qin Xuan often came to pick up Tantai Yue and deliver lunch, so the guards were familiar with him. Most of the employees also knew Qin Xuan. A man without a job, living off his wife's earnings. A woman running such a large company, while her husband was a good-for-nothing who did nothing all day. His daily tasks were picking up his wife from work and delivering lunch. It was a sad state of affairs for a man.
Qin Xuan's name had spread throughout the company. Many employees gossiped about him privately, though none of it reached Tantai Yue's ears.
"Sigh, our company is doomed. For several days now, not a single raw material company has cooperated with us. I'm afraid we'll go bankrupt in a few more days."
"Who says not? President Wang is such a good person, young and successful. I think it's because she's stuck with such a useless husband that our company is being dragged down."
"Sigh, I've been sending out resumes to find new companies lately. If I don't find a new job soon, once our company goes bankrupt, I probably won't even be able to afford instant noodles."
...
Many employees gathered together, chatting amongst themselves. As Qin Xuan entered the office building, he overheard the chatter. Hearing movement, everyone looked up and saw Qin Xuan. They immediately stopped their discussions, casting disdainful glances at him. Qin Xuan, however, paid no mind. This was his wife's company, and he didn't want to cause her trouble. As for those who were gossiping, it was best to ignore them. After all, their mouths were their own, and it wouldn't affect him in the slightest.
"Ahem..." Qin Xuan cleared his throat and said, "Tantai isn't feeling well recently, so she's recuperating at home. I'll be filling in for her at the company for a few days."
Although the employees had their reservations, Qin Xuan was, after all, President Wang's husband and part of the family, so they couldn't say much. However, causing him some trouble was still an option.
A supervisor stood up, carrying a stack of documents, and walked in front of Qin Xuan with an arrogant expression. "Mr. Qin, I have some family matters and need to take a few days off. This is this month's financial report, the company's loss statement, and employee... "
This supervisor was named Gong Chang. He was a high-ranking official Wang Yu Yan had transferred from Li Group's headquarters. Moving from a large group to such a small company, although his salary had increased, Gong Chang felt somewhat resentful. After all, a large group had a much brighter future than a small company. What was the point of a high salary in a small company with no prospects? Today, President Wang's useless husband was filling in for her, which displeased Gong Chang immensely. He directly handed over all the company's recent difficulties and problems to Qin Xuan, expecting him to handle them. In Gong Chang's eyes, someone like Qin Xuan, who hadn't even worked as a junior employee, couldn't possibly handle these matters. He would likely just say a few nice words and then ask for his help. Unexpectedly, Qin Xuan smiled, took the documents, and said, "I'll take care of the rest. You can go home now."
