“Just now, a little girl called for you on the phone, saying your name with great affection,” Fang Yunshu said.

Fang Yunshu got into Ye Xiaofei’s car and then said, “That statement… why does it sound a bit sour?” Ye Xiaofei turned his head, excitement shining in his eyes.

“Sour? Are you saying I’m jealous?” Fang Yunshu pointed at herself and chuckled disdainfully, saying, “Ye Xiaofei, you’re full of yourself. Just because I’m being a bit nicer to you now, do you think 1 have feelings for you? Our hatred isn’t that easy to resolve. I’m only tolerating you for Ling’er’s sake. Don’t think 1’11 start cursing at you just because I see you.”

“Oh…” Ye Xiaofei’s lips curled slightly, feeling like he was stirring up trouble for no reason. He quickly changed the subject and said, “That should be my younger sister. Her mother and she used to treat me very well, so now I’m repaying for their kindness. I even bought them a house to make their lives more comfortable.”

Fang Yunshu sneered and said, “Is that so? 1 think you’re just trying to pamper your sweetheart in a golden house.”

Ye Xiaofei hurriedly responded, “Absolutely not! I treat her as if she were my own sister.”

“A sister, what a good reason. If you truly see her as a sister, you should clarify things with her earlier and not leave unnecessary opportunities. Otherwise, you’ll be harming her.”

Ye Xiaofei said, “Okay, 1’11 make things clear.”

Fang Yunshu hadn’t expected that Ye Xiaofei would agree so readily and with such natural composure. Perhaps this guy did see that girl as a sister.

“By the way…” Fang Yunshu hesitated for a moment and said, “Do you know He Yuyao?”

“Yeah, 1 know her. Do you know her too?” Ye Xiaofei asked in return.

Fang Yunshu glared at Ye Xiaofei sideways and said, “She’s my good friend, my bosom friend. You better not do anything to her, or 1 won’t let you off.”

Ye Xiaofei immediately responded, “She’s your friend? You should have said so earlier. 1 even treated her as my grand disciple. That would have messed up the hierarchy.”

“I won’t meddle in that. I’m just reminding you. 1 don’t care how you treat other women, you jerk, but you absolutely cannot lay a hand on my friend.”

Ye Xiaofei shrugged and said, “I never intended to do anything to her. She acts like a love-struck fool every time she sees me as if she wants to devour me. I can barely dodge her.”

“You better be true to your words. Also, you’re not allowed to mention our relationship to her.”

“Why?” This request piqued Ye Xiaofei’s curiosity.

Fang Yunshu’s expression suddenly changed, and she anxiously asked, “You didn’t mention our relationship, did you?”

Ye Xiaofei replied, “No, I didn’t. Besides discussing some medical skills, 1 haven’t engaged in idle talk with her at all. How could we even discuss you?”

Doubt filled Fang Yunshu’s eyes as she asked, “Are you sure you didn’t say anything?”

Ye Xiaofei shook his head quickly and said, “No, I had no idea you two knew each other. Why would I bring you up to her?”

Fang Yunshu stared at Ye Xiaofei for a few seconds before finally exhaling deeply and saying, “Well, that’s good. From now on, you’re not allowed to mention it. Do you hear me?”

Ye Xiaofei glanced at Fang Yunshu and asked, “Yunshu, are you discussing this with me or begging me?”

“Begging you?” Fang Yunshu suddenly turned serious and said coldly, “If you don’t agree, that’s fine.”

Ye Xiaofei became nervous and said, “Alright, 1 promise you. Sigh, 1 really owe you.”

“Humph!” Fang Yunshu snorted and muttered to herself, “Indeed, you owe me.”

Ye Xiaofei shook his head and said, “That’s how people are. Once they achieve success and wealth, their temper worsens.”

“What success and wealth? This is Miss Luna’s trust in me. I’m anxious and even fearful about whether I can handle this job well. The responsibility is too great for me,” Fang Yunshu replied.

Ye Xiaofei laughed, “Luna will provide you with some professional talents. Let professionals do their job. As the president, you only need to set a general direction for your subordinates. If you continue to be hands-on like you were at the exhibition today, it won’t work.”

Surprisingly, Fang Yunshu didn’t interrupt and seemed to be listening attentively. Ye Xiaofei’s words piqued her interest even more. She said, “As an executive of the company, your main task is to manage your subordinates. To effectively manage them, you must earn both their respect and fear. In other words, you need to balance kindness and severity.”

“Rewarding and praising them, offering benefits, that’s easy to understand. But you lack the power of intimidation. You must elevate your status and not try to become friends with your employees…”

On Villain Island, all of them were attached to tycoons, each having hundreds or even thousands of subordinates.

Currently, Ye Xiaofei was tirelessly explaining the management techniques he learned from them to Fang Yunshu.

Fang Yunshu had also studied management on her own, and as she listened to what Ye Xiaofei was saying, she realized that it differed greatly from what she had read in books. However, she couldn’t help but admit that Ye Xiaofei’s words made a lot of sense.

This guy… How did he know all this? Where did he learn it from?

For the first time, Fang Yunshu felt curious about Ye Xiaofei..
