Young Master in Flower City

Qingcheng International, underground parking lot.

Ye Qingcheng had just gotten into the car when her phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, her expression changed slightly. There were fewer than a handful of people in the Celestial Capital Financial Realm who could make Ye Qingcheng's expression change.

However, Gao Shaoyang, the manager at Tianyu International Headquarters, was indeed one of them.

The reason was simple: Tianyu International was immensely powerful. Even though Qingcheng International and Tianyu International had little business interaction, if Tianyu International were to make the slightest move, Qingcheng International would tremble thrice.

In other words, if Tianyu International wanted to crush Qingcheng International, it would only take a moment. Given Tianyu International's immense power, just a few words against Qingcheng International could make many companies in the financial realm unwilling to cooperate with Qingcheng International.

After all, no one wanted to offend Tianyu International for the sake of Qingcheng International.

Subsequently, Ye Qingcheng pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, Mr. Gao!"

"Is this President Ye?" On the other end of the line, Gao Shaoyang's voice was extremely calm.

"Yes, it is. May I ask what instructions you have for me, Mr. Gao?" Ye Qingcheng inquired.

"Does your company have a woman named Chen Lan?" Gao Shaoyang's voice grew colder, making Ye Qingcheng momentarily puzzled. How did the general manager of Tianyu International know a minor departmental manager at her company?

But Ye Qingcheng dared not be negligent and quickly responded, "Yes, we do have such a person. She is the manager of our Industrial and Commercial Department. Does Mr. Gao need something from her? Shall I connect you to her right now?"

"No need!" Gao Shaoyang said, "Actually, I'm reaching out because I hope President Ye will do me a favor and dismiss Chen Lan."

Although Gao Shaoyang's voice was respectful and seemed like a request, Ye Qingcheng could not miss the underlying tone of command. Ostensibly, he was asking her to do him a favor, but his words carried an implicit order.

Therefore, Ye Qingcheng was startled. Without thinking, she hastily replied, "I'll take care of it right away, Mr. Gao, please rest easy!"

"Good, then I'll leave it to you, President Ye!" After saying that, the call ended with a series of beeps, clearly indicating the phone had been hung up. Ye Qingcheng exhaled a long breath. What on earth did Chen Lan do to offend someone at Tianyu International so much that their general manager called me personally?

...

Beside the road in front of Qingcheng International's entrance.

At this moment, amid the crowd, Xiao Tianyu stood out, drawing many curious glances. Three seconds to fire the Industrial and Commercial Department Manager of Qingcheng International?

Everyone felt speechless. An employee at the bottom rung of Qingcheng International's hierarchy claiming to fire a manager? To everyone, this was nothing short of an outrageous joke.

"See that? The call has already been made!" Mo Jun, holding Chen Lan, spoke to her with thick sarcasm, "Chen Lan, maybe a dismissal call is coming soon!"

"Oh, don't say that, I'm really scared. Hurry and pat my chest to comfort me!" Chen Lan provocatively smiled, and Mo Jun's hand instantly rested on her chest, causing him to grin lasciviously at the soft sensation.

Lin Xin's beautiful eyes glared harshly at Xiao Tianyu, feeling aggrieved. Was he joking? I asked him to help, and now he's become a laughingstock instead.

Could he be having a fever today?

Looking pensive, Lin Xin walked a few steps toward Xiao Tianyu in her high heels and extended her right hand to touch his forehead, murmuring, "No fever… why are you talking nonsense?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Tianyu asked indifferently.

"Checking if you have a fever!"

"Is this fun to you?"

Xiao Tianyu's calm demeanor surprised Lin Xin. Did he have to act cool? It was just a touch on the forehead; I'm doing it for his own good, after all.

Xiao Tianyu ignored her, his tranquil eyes scanning Jiang Ya. He opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on?"

After arriving here, Xiao Tianyu noticed something was off with Jiang Ya, and Jiang Tao, standing beside her, kept glancing at her chest. Instinctively, he felt that this woman had some situation being manipulated by someone.

Being from the same department, if Xiao Tianyu could help, he would; if not, that would be a matter later.

At his words, Jiang Ya's beautiful eyes shifted evasively, clearly finding it hard to talk about. Meanwhile, Jiang Tao grinned lecherously, "What's going on? Who do you think you are, to question my woman like that?"

Saying this, Jiang Tao grabbed Jiang Ya's delicate hand. After struggling briefly and seeing the warning look in Jiang Tao's eyes, she stopped resisting, a scene fully captured by Xiao Tianyu.

Xiao Tianyu remained silent, giving Jiang Tao a cold, piercing stare. Just one glance sent a shiver down Jiang Tao's spine.

The sight of Xiao Tianyu's eyes, so chilling and intense, made Jiang Tao feel as if he were being watched by a fierce beast, sending a thrill of terror through him.

"Repeat that?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was cold and composed, and it instantly seemed as though the surrounding air grew gloomy, causing Jiang Tao to open his mouth and then swallow his words, an expression of fear evident in his eyes.

Seeing this, everyone was taken aback. Someone whispered, "Wasn't Jiang Tao just so fierce? Why is he chickening out now?"

Ring ring~

At this moment, Chen Lan's phone rang. Seeing Ye Qingcheng's name on the display, she hesitated briefly, then was no longer concerned.

She held her phone up to Xiao Tianyu with a smug smile, "Oh my, now the president is calling me. Could it really be to dismiss me? I'm sooo scared, should I put it on speaker?"

"That's a great idea, I like it!" Mo Jun sneered, "Maybe they really have that power. Not putting it on speaker would seem unreasonable!"

Seeing their contemptuous expressions, many women around them showed expressions of disgust.

"Is it really necessary to mock my idol? This is so outrageous!"

"This woman is really annoying, I hope she gets fired!"

"Even if my idol is a bit silly, he's still cute. Why is she doing this?"

"…" Many women were upset for Xiao Tianyu, sighing that an arrogant woman rising to power causes turmoil everywhere.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Lan really turned on speaker mode and nodded toward the phone, obsequiously saying, "Hello, president, is there something from the company? I haven't left the company yet!"

"You're fired!" Ye Qingcheng's voice on the phone was very clear, directly reaching everyone's ears.

Ye Qingcheng continued, "You might get blacklisted in the Celestial Capital..."

Bang~

Before Ye Qingcheng could finish her words, Chen Lan's phone fell to the ground.

Hey guys, how is this act of mine? I'd love to act cool, but there's no chance to do so in reality!
