Chapter 116 Attack
Ye Xingran followed closely behind Eileen from the human resources department as they walked through the spacious and bright company corridors.
She looked around curiously, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness for her new job.
Just then, without warning, Eileen stopped and quickly turned around.
Her sharp gaze fell directly on Ye Xingran, and she said, "Your name is Ye Xingran, right?"
Ye Xingran was startled by the sudden question, but she quickly calmed down, nodded slightly, and gave a polite but slightly reserved smile, replying, "Yes, Sister Eileen."
Eileen narrowed her eyes slightly, a barely perceptible curve appearing at the corners of her lips, yet a scrutinizing glint flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to see right through Ye Xingran.
Then, she continued in a slightly skeptical tone, "I've heard that you got into our company through connections! I guess you don't have any real skills, do you?"
Ye Xingran was startled. Did she know that Fu Shiyue had asked her to work at the company, and that she had gotten the job without submitting a resume?
However, she couldn't let anyone discover her purpose.
Knowing that he could not show the slightest panic in such a situation, he forced himself to remain calm, his face as serene as ever.
She looked at Eileen with a firm gaze and said slowly, "Sister Eileen, no matter what rumors are circulating, I firmly believe that as long as I do my best and put my heart into it, I will definitely be able to complete my job perfectly."
Upon hearing this, Eileen couldn't help but scoff, a disdainful smile curving her lips: "Hmph! This is the Fu Group, a place where countless people would kill to get in. President Fu himself gave the order. With your meager qualifications, how could you possibly step through the doors of the Fu Group so easily? Don't think you can get in here just by talking a good game. This isn't a place where you can establish yourself long-term based on empty talk alone."
As she spoke, Eileen's eyes swept over Ye Xingran, who was standing in front of her.
At this moment, Eileen was no longer the charming and gentle woman who had smiled sweetly in front of Fu Shiyue. Now, Eileen's face was frosty, a stark contrast to the gentle image she had previously displayed in front of Fu Shiyue.
A woman's intuition told Eileen that she had different feelings for Fu Shiyue.
However, Ye Xingran was not one to passively accept being bullied.
To survive in Yunmeng, one must have a strong heart; only the strong survive.
Being soft-hearted only leads to death.
Ye Xingran crossed her arms and asked, "Sister Eileen, do you like President Fu? Why are you so hostile towards me?"
Upon hearing Ye Xingran's words, Eileen's face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if someone had touched her most secret secret.
But she quickly regained her composure and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. I just can't stand people who get in through connections."
Ye Xingran chuckled lightly: "Sister Eileen, why be so stubborn? I don't have those kinds of feelings for President Fu. I'm just here to work hard and make money. Besides, even if there is something between President Fu and me, that's between us and no one else has the right to interfere."
Just as Eileen opened her lips, about to speak,
Suddenly, a deep, magnetic voice, like that of a cello, drifted over: "What are you doing?"
The sudden sound seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly attracting Eileen and her attention.
The two turned their heads simultaneously, and where their gazes focused, they saw a tall, imposing man with a cool and extraordinary demeanor walking towards them.
Fu Shiyue! Every step he took was steady and powerful, as if the whole world trembled slightly with his steps.
A short while later, Fu Shiyue arrived beside them.
His deep, pool-like eyes quickly swept over the two women. Then, like a king who controlled everything, he walked straight up to them with an innate majesty and domineering aura.
"How familiar are you with it?"
Fu Shiyue asked with a blank expression, but his deep voice carried an undeniable sense of oppression.
Eileen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming and friendly smile, and she said softly, "Mr. Fu, hello! I was just showing Xingran around to our department when I heard you come."
Her bright eyes, like twinkling stars in the night sky, radiated a gentle and friendly light.
Standing to the side, Ye Xingran couldn't help but marvel inwardly, thinking to herself, "This Eileen is really amazing! Look at her natural and smooth expressions and just the right tone of voice, she's simply a born performer! If she were an actress, she might have become a huge star long ago, it's just a pity that this talent is buried in the company."
He's truly a talented actor!
Fu Shiyue glanced at Eileen indifferently, then looked at Ye Xingran, "Well, I hope you adapt to your work as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Seeing this, Eileen hurriedly followed and said in a sweet voice, "President Fu, I still have some questions about Xingran's onboarding procedures that I would like to ask you."
Fu Shiyue paused, "Eileen, you've always done a great job with personnel matters, you don't need to ask me about such trivial things."
Eileen gritted her teeth, still smiling, "But Mr. Fu, she got in through special channels, so everyone is paying close attention."
Fu Shiyue frowned slightly and said coldly, "My decision doesn't need to be explained to anyone else. Just do your job well, and let her take charge of my work from now on."
Eileen stood rooted to the spot, trembling with rage. Her hands were clenched into fists, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. She was seething with resentment, gritting her teeth as she vowed, "Ye Xingran, I will never let you get away with this! I will find every opportunity to make you disappear from this company!"
Just then, Fu Shiyue had already started to leave. Watching his receding figure, Eileen's heart was filled with resentment and anger.
However, before she could calm down, Ye Xingran turned to her and said in a seemingly calm but actually sarcastic tone, "Sister Eileen, if you have the ability to work for President Fu, that's naturally your skill. It's just a pity...hehe." After saying that, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a contemptuous smile.
Ye Xingran's words were clearly pointed, blatantly mocking Eileen for not having enough ability to stay and work by Fu Shiyue's side.
Eileen was so angry that she took a step forward, wanting to retort, but Ye Xingran didn't give her a chance to speak at all. She turned around and walked away with light steps.
Eileen was left standing there alone, her chest heaving, her face flushed red, a mixture of anger and humiliation making her almost lose her mind.
"Damn it! Ye Xingran!"
She roared in a secluded place, vowing to drive her away from Fu Shiyue.
The only person who can be by Fu Shiyue's side is her, Eileen.
Ye Xingran returned to her residence and had just opened the door when she suddenly felt extremely unwell and broke out in a cold sweat.
She slowly moved to the sofa, supporting herself against the wall, and sat down, thinking that she shouldn't have been so stubborn and provoked Eileen today.
Just then, a crisp ringtone broke the silence of the room. Ye Xingran looked up wearily and saw that the phone screen on the table was flashing, showing that the caller was Fu Shiyue's assistant.
She took a deep breath, trying to muster her energy to answer the call. On the other end, Fu Shiyue's assistant clearly and quickly conveyed tomorrow's work arrangements, outlining each task and deadline in an orderly manner. As Ye Xingran listened, she silently noted down the key points, but due to exhaustion, she only managed a few forced responses to indicate that she understood.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingran felt a sore throat and a splitting headache...
So I decided to get up and get a glass of water.
However, as she struggled to stand up from the chair, a strong sense of dizziness instantly struck her, as if the whole world had begun to spin.
Her body swayed uncontrollably, and the water glass she was holding tightly in her hand lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
As the sound of the water glass shattering rang out, Ye Xingran staggered forward and finally collapsed to the ground, powerless.
She glanced at the time on the alarm clock on the wall.
Today was the day she was supposed to get the antidote, but she forgot.
Damn!
Ye Xingran lay on the ground, her consciousness gradually fading.
She knew that if she didn't get the antidote, her chances of survival were slim.
Ye Xingran used all her strength to crawl toward the phone, her fingers stretching forward with difficulty. With each inch she moved, her body felt as if it were being torn apart.
Finally, she reached for the phone and, with trembling hands, dialed Lu Fei's number.
"Beep...beep..."
The moment the call connected, Ye Xingran said weakly, "Lu Fei, save me... I forgot to pick up the antidote today."
Lu Fei said, "You stupid woman! I'm coming right now."
At this point, Eileen had not given up on her desire for revenge against Ye Xingran. She found out where Ye Xingran lived.
Eileen arrived at Ye Xingran's residence with a smug smile. Through the crack in the door, she saw Ye Xingran lying on the ground, barely alive, making a phone call.
A thought struck her: if Ye Xingran were to die like this, it would save her the trouble of taking action.
But then she suddenly realized that if Fu Shiyue investigated, he would inevitably suspect her.
Just as Eileen was hesitating, Lu Fei rushed over.
Eileen quickly hid in a corner of the building.
Lu Fei rushed into the house, picked him up, and closed the door.
Eileen stared in disbelief as a strange man entered Ye Xingran's house, then took out her phone and snapped a picture of the scene.
"I never expected you, Ye Xingran, to be so amazing..."
Eileen clenched her fists. Her relationship with President Fu was unusual, and now another man had come to her house.
"I'll see how I get away with this, you arrogant woman!"
She knew she couldn't act rashly now. She had to devise a more comprehensive revenge plan that would eliminate Ye Xingran without arousing Fu Shiyue's suspicion.
So she turned around and quietly left Ye Xingran's residence, plotting all sorts of schemes and plots as she walked away. An even bigger storm surrounding Ye Xingran was about to break.
Lu Fei rushed into the room like a gust of wind, and the scene before him made his heart clench—Ye Xingran lay on the cold ground, her face as pale as paper, her breath so weak it seemed she would break at any moment.
He rushed to Ye Xingran's side, his hands trembling as he quickly pulled out the antidote from his pocket and carefully brought it to Ye Xingran's lips.
Seeing her pale lips slightly part as she swallowed the antidote with difficulty, Lu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly got up, poured a glass of water, gently helped Ye Xingran up, and slowly brought the glass to her lips to help her drink the antidote and water.
After a while, Ye Xingran finally slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed for so long. Her once bright and captivating eyes had lost their luster and appeared exceptionally dull and lifeless.
Lu Fei was heartbroken, and his voice became hoarse: "Why didn't you go back to Yunmeng to get the antidote? Don't you know how dangerous it would be without the antidote?"
However, faced with Lu Fei's anxious questioning, Ye Xingran could only shake her head with a bitter smile and say in an extremely weak voice, "Look how loyal I am to the organization... In order to successfully approach the target and complete the mission, I even completely forgot that today was the day I was supposed to go get the antidote..."
As she finished speaking, her smile grew increasingly bitter, a sight that broke one's heart.
