Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

"Use force? Li Xiaoyun, I never realized before how good you are at slandering others!" Zheng Xuelin was furious, "When have I ever laid a hand on you!"

"So, the things you said, you just made them up, right?" Zheng Xuelin shouted angrily, "Tell me! How exactly did you snatch my business!"

"Zheng Xuelin, look at your hands before you speak!" Li Xiaoyun said, "You’re grabbing my wrist, not letting me go, and you say you haven’t laid a hand on me?"

"Grabbing you counts as using force?" Zheng Xuelin felt that Li Xiaoyun was wrongfully accusing him.

Now he trusted even less that Li Xiaoyun actually knew about his dealings.

"Then let go of me first!" Li Xiaoyun said coldly.

She planned to get out of Zheng Xuelin’s grip first.

"Stop changing the subject!" Zheng Xuelin said, "Li Xiaoyun, you really don’t know about my dealings, do you?"

Li Xiaoyun, seeing he wouldn’t give up, quietly said, "You and Vice President Lu, you really think I don’t know?"

Zheng Xuelin was stunned, and his grip on Li Xiaoyun’s wrist even loosened a bit.

Did Li Xiaoyun really know?

"There is nothing going on with me and Vice President Lu, don’t talk nonsense!" Zheng Xuelin immediately said.

Li Xiaoyun hadn’t intended to broadcast Zheng Xuelin’s business.

So even in this deserted corridor, Li Xiaoyun still lowered her voice.

Zheng Xuelin, speaking softly, was because he felt guilty.

"I’ve come this far, are you still clinging to the fantasy that I’m bluffing?" Li Xiaoyun found it amusing.

"Zheng Xuelin, why don’t you ask President Lin?" Li Xiaoyun said.

"Don’t use President Lin to scare me." Zheng Xuelin said angrily, "Where’s the evidence? No matter what you say about me, show me evidence first."

"What, can’t show any, can you? Li Xiaoyun, why don’t you admit it, it was you who took my business through tricks." Zheng Xuelin said angrily, "And also, you spread rumors about me to the leaders!"

"Zheng Xuelin, what’s the point of you blocking me here and saying all these things? If you don’t believe me, you can ask Manager Tang or President Lin." Li Xiaoyun said irritably, "Making things difficult for me here, do you think the business will just return to you?"

"I want you to go to Manager Tang and President Lin and tell them I’m being framed, and you’re willing to return the business to me." Zheng Xuelin tightened his grip on Li Xiaoyun’s wrist again.

Li Xiaoyun wondered if Zheng Xuelin was mentally unstable now.

To even entertain such laughable ideas, and say such ridiculous things.

"Alright." Li Xiaoyun didn’t refuse Zheng Xuelin at this moment.

Because the current situation was really unfavorable to her.

Her phone had just vibrated, indicating a failed unlock attempt.

So now, besides continuing to blindly guess the unlock pattern, Li Xiaoyun could only hope Zhou Yunyun or Lin Lingli would find it strange that she hadn’t returned to the office for so long and would give her a call.

Only then could she seize the opportunity to report her location.

As for Zheng Xuelin’s request, Li Xiaoyun knew that in the current environment, she absolutely could not refuse.

Seeing that Zheng Xuelin had lost all sense, Li Xiaoyun didn’t want to provoke him further.

So she said, "Alright, let’s go now."

"I will do as you say, with you supervising me, how about that?" Li Xiaoyun said, "I’ll handle it exactly as you said."

"Do you think I’m a fool?" Zheng Xuelin shouted, "If I go with you, wouldn’t that make President Lin and Manager Tang suspect that I forced you to say it?"

"Then they would have an even worse impression of me!" Zheng Xuelin said.

President Lin and Manager Tang don’t like it, so how would they give the business back to him?

"At that point, the business would still be yours, and you could further say it was President Lin and Manager Tang who disagreed." Zheng Xuelin said, "Don’t think I can’t see what you’re trying to do!"

"This little scheme, you think it can fool me?" Zheng Xuelin sneered.

Li Xiaoyun took a deep breath: "Alright, if that’s the case, I’ll go by myself, okay?"

"I’ll go right now, no wasting time!" Li Xiaoyun said immediately.

Just to take this chance to run away.

She would be very cautious in the future and ensure Zheng Xuelin never had another chance to put her in danger.

Who knew, Zheng Xuelin then said, "What? Are you looking to run away? If you go and say it by yourself, how will I know if you actually said it or not?"

"Run away? This is the company, what would I run from?" Li Xiaoyun said incredulously, "Zheng Xuelin, you brought me here, do you really intend to harm me?"

"Acting like you’re kidnapping me, so I have to run? Or is it that you actually have such intentions?" Li Xiaoyun glared at Zheng Xuelin, "Don’t forget, Zheng Xuelin, this is the company! It’s not a place for your nonsense!"

At this moment, Li Xiaoyun’s phone suddenly buzzed.

Li Xiaoyun had set her phone to vibrate and ring when calls came in.

Before the ringtone sounded, it vibrated twice.

Li Xiaoyun was unsure if it was a WeChat notification or a call vibration.

After two vibrations, familiar ringtone music suddenly played.

It only rang for a second, and Li Xiaoyun quickly swiped to answer.

"Zheng Xuelin, even though there’s no one here right now, that doesn’t mean no one will come by! Plenty of colleagues smoke in this company. People often come to the stairwell for a smoke." Li Xiaoyun said loudly, as if reminding Zheng Xuelin, but actually trying to cover up the phone’s ringtone that lasted only for a second.

Though the ringtone lasted only a second before she picked up the call.

She was still afraid Zheng Xuelin heard it.

She didn’t know who was calling now.

Hopefully, it was someone she knew, not an advertising call.

Li Xiaoyun could only seize this opportunity to quickly report her location.

And it was Zhao Dingli who was calling.

Before Zhao Dingli could say anything, he heard Li Xiaoyun’s words over the phone.

Li Xiaoyun didn’t have the speaker on, worried the person on the phone couldn’t hear, so she raised her voice, allowing Zhao Dingli to hear clearly.

Zhao Dingli also discerned that Li Xiaoyun was speaking very loudly.

She must be extremely anxious, not knowing what kind of danger she was facing.

Coupled with the mention of Zheng Xuelin’s name, Zhao Dingli didn’t hesitate for a second, speeding out of his office.

Seeing Rui Changhuai sitting outside, Zhao Dingli quickly said to him, "Call Li Xiaoyun’s colleagues!"

"What? What happened?" Rui Changhuai was momentarily confused.

"Li Xiaoyun is in danger, call her colleagues, ask them to go to the stairwell to save her!" Zhao Dingli said loudly.

Now the people in the secretary’s office had also returned, witnessing Zhao Dingli’s unusual demeanor.
