Chapter 772 - Protect the Wife  

“Do you think this lady boss knows how to do the tango?” Luo Xuejun turned her head and whispered to Fang Linlin, “I heard that lady boss is from the countryside.”

In their hearts, some of them still looked down on Xiao Lingyu because she came from the countryside. In their impression, the village girl should look like a country bumpkin. However, the lady boss did not look like a country bumpkin at all. She even had a personality charm that instantly caught everyone’s eye.

Fang Linlin’s gaze on Xiao Lingyu was jealous and angry. Fang Linlin gritted her teeth and said, “She’s just a woman from the countryside. I bet she only studied tango a few days ago. How good of a dancer can she be?”

Luo Xuejun finally caught Fang Linlin’s tone. There was a hint of jealousy. Luo Xuejun turned to study Fang Linlin’s expression. Then, without saying anything, she moved away from Fang Linlin. ‘This Fang Linlin must be crazy to harbor evil thoughts towards the lady boss. When Big Boss finds out, she will definitely be in big trouble.’

In order to avoid being implicated, Luo Xuejun felt that it was better for her to stay away.

Someone noticed this and intercepted Luo Xuejun. The male employee whispered, “You should stay far away from Fang Linlin. She seems to have ill intentions towards the lady boss. A few days ago, she openly said in the group chat that the lady boss is a country bumpkin who isn’t worthy of the big boss or something.”

Luo Xuejun was shocked. “That is none of her business. Our Big Boss can make his own decision. Who is she to talk about it?”

“You’re right. Fang Linlin is lost. She always feels that no one is worthy of the Big Boss.”

“Does it mean only she is worthy?” Luo Xuejin gasped, “Is she interested in Big Boss?”

Her colleagues immediately said, “Actually, it’s normal for her to be interested in the big boss. After all, Big Boss is young, handsome, and rich. There are a few women who aren’t interested. However, being interested and doing something about it is different.

“When the Big Boss was still single, she didn’t dare to confess. Now that the Big Boss has a wife and children, she wants to be his mistress?! But compared to the lady boss, what is she? The Big Boss will make an easy choice.”

As colleagues, it was inappropriate for them to talk about Fang Linlin like this. However, in the business world, the basic knowledge was to know one’s place!

If Fang Linlin wanted to court death herself, then no one else could be blamed.

At this moment, the music started playing. Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu held hands and walked toward the center of the dance floor.

As the music started to beat, Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu started to dance as well.

When they started their first dance step, everyone was shocked.

The people present were all elites in the business world. They were masters in the international pas de deux.

Therefore, from the moment Gong Tianhao brought Xiao Lingyu up to dance, it could be seen that this lady boss was an expert. Furthermore, her dance skills were superb. She did not seem to be a little flustered.

The waves of exclamations could be heard continuously.

“How can the lady boss dance so well?”

“Tango is not an easy dance. She must have a very good foundation.”

Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu kept changing their dance moves. Their dance moves were gorgeous, elegant, and beautiful. The cross steps, kicks, jumps, and spins were dazzling, causing waves of amazement and praise.

After the music stopped, many people were still immersed in the beautiful and fierce dance moves.

At some time, the applause suddenly sounded. Then, the hall was filled with waves of enthusiastic applause.

When someone was clapping, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and praised, “Lady boss, your tango is so good.” Then, he asked, “Have you learned it before?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, I learned it in college. Later, when I was working in the company, I continued to study it.”

“Oh.” The man nodded with understanding. “We also learned the tango in school, but we’re not as good as you!”

At this time, someone said with a smile, “Sometimes, talent plays a huge role. Didn’t you see it just now? The lady boss’ poise is perfect. You can tell that she is talented in dance. How can you compare yourself to her?”

This was obvious flattery, but it sounded nice to the ears.

Fang Linlin, who was in the crowd, did not see Xiao Lingyu make a fool of herself. She felt a little indignant, but when she heard one or two of her colleagues praising Xiao Lingyu, her eyes flashed with anger.

She cursed in her heart, ‘These sycophants only know how to kiss ass. So what if this woman knows how to dance? It can’t change the fact that she was born a country bumpkin. Eventually, she’ll be knocked back to her real form!’

Fang Linlin endured the anger. She stepped forward with a smile on her face.

“Lady Boss, your dance moves are really good!” Fang Linlin said with a smile.

Xiao Lingyu said politely, “Thank you!”

Then, Fang Linlin asked, “Lady Boss, may I take the liberty to ask? You said that you learned to tango in university. I want to ask, where did you go to university? How did you have so much time to learn dance?” When she asked this, she thought to herself, ‘She must have gone to those low-class universities.’

When Fang Linlin asked this, the expressions of some people around her changed. They glanced at her and quietly moved away from her.

‘This Fang Linlin is really out of her mind. She is trying to provoke the lady boss. Can’t she see the boss’ dark face?’

Many people had a premonition that this might be Fang Linlin’s last night at Imperial Palace.

But what Fang Linlin said next spelled her doom.

Fang Linlin didn’t wait for Xiao Lingyu’s reply and continued to say with a smile, “Sigh, I really envy you, Lady Boss. When you were in university, you had so much time to learn dance. Unlike me… in the HF university in country M or JQ University in country Y, the competition was too intense. In order to not lose out, we only have time to study!”

Her meaning was clear. She was intentionally showing off to Xiao Lingyu. At the same time, she was hinting to Xiao Lingyu that the people present were all graduates of top universities in the world.

Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to respond, Fang Linlin’s voice sounded again. This time, her voice was obviously excited, and her eyes revealed an infatuated admiration.

She said, “Big Boss, I heard that you also graduated from the HF University in M Nation. Speaking of which, I’m your junior. I’ve always heard about your legend in school, and I’ve always admired you. After graduating from HF University, I declined the invitations of the major companies in the M Nation and resolutely entered the Imperial Group.”

The moment these words were said, the faces of everyone present changed.

‘This Fang Linlin…’

Xiao Lingyu secretly sneered. ‘What does this woman mean?

‘Is she trying to make me feel inferior? Or is she trying to remind me that I’m not good enough for Tianhao?

‘Also, she really needs to rub away the saliva on her chin when she looks at Tianhao.

‘This girl is funny. Do I not exist in her eyes?

‘This is really interesting.’

But it did annoy Xiao Lingyu that her husband was being openly coveted by another woman.

Gong Tianhao couldn’t even be bothered with Fang Linlin. Just as he was about to order Li Yuanhang to fire her, Xiao Lingyu tugged at his sleeve, and he received a hint from her eyes.

‘Alright, since Yu ‘Er wanted to play…’

Xiao Lingyu’s expression was a little confused, “You graduated from HF University. Is the work at HF University really very busy? No wonder the workers at my company from HF University are so bad at dancing too. It’s a pity that I only got into South University in the country.”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they burst into laughter.

“Haha…”

“Lady boss is really too talented!”

“Haha…”

This Fang Linlin wanted to use her degree from HF university to pressure the lady boss and make her feel inferior. However, she forgot that the lady boss had started a large company with assets of tens of billions. Of course, she would be able to deal with this situation. Or else she would be swallowed by the sharks in the business world already.

Therefore, the reply was sharp.

‘So what if you graduated from HF University? You are working for others, but the lady boss has people from HF University working for her!’

The comparison between the two sides was obvious.

Fang Linlin’s face turned red and green from Xiao Lingyu’s rebuke.

She never expected Xiao Lingyu to be so eloquent. She didn’t know how to respond.

She was ridiculed and looked down upon by everyone. She was angry, anxious, and aggrieved.

She looked like she wanted to cry. She looked at Gong Tianhao with a regretful expression and said aggrievedly, “Senior, I…”

“Get lost!” Before she could finish, Gong Tianhao spat out a word coldly.

Then, he ordered Li Yuanhang sternly, “Special Assistant Li, from today onwards, I don’t want to see this woman in our company again!”

“Okay!” Li Yuanhang nodded and replied.

Everyone thought this was expected.

Only Fang Linlin’s eyes revealed shock and disbelief when she heard Gong Tianhao’s words.

It was a pity that Gong Tianhao completely ignored her!

Gong Tianhao went forward to hug Xiao Lingyu and said very gently, “Yu ‘Er, you must be tired from dancing just now. Let’s go back and rest now!”

Everyone, “…”

Welp, this was Fang Linlin’s own fault.
