Chapter 32

Ling Xi felt shivers running down his spine. Big brother was actually addressing him by full name. Every time when this happened, it meant that this man was in an extremely foul mood. Judging from the current situation, it was pretty clear.

Just when Ling Xi thought that he was going to become another person’s scapegoat and get the brunt of Li Yan’s anger, the man opposite him started to speak up in his cold voice, “Just say what you need to say!”

Ling Xi braced himself and moved forward, “Big brother, something went wrong with the goods that are transporting to South Africa. Who do you want to send over to settle the matter? Those two are both occupied with their work, so…”

“Then you go!”

“Me? Big brother, I have something urgent going on in my company, so I’m unable to leave…” Ling Xi attempted to plead. No one wanted to handle that sort of troublesome matter. Those two bastards, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi found excuses and pushed this onto him. It was precisely why he was here today, to free himself of this matter!

Li Yan raised his eyebrow, “So, you want me to go?”

Of course Ling Xi did not dare nod straightaway. If big brother wanted to go personally, of course, the others would not have any other opinion!

Li Yan’s fingers were strumming very rhythmically on the table. His voice was deep and cold when he slowly spoke, “Ling Xi, I just came back to Beijing from overseas. I’m not even here for a hot minute and you already want me to leave again? Perhaps you’re curious to know what it’s like — being me — staying overseas for a decade!”

Ling Xi was terrified. “Don’t, big brother, I’m just simply asking for your opinion. My company will do fine without me for a month or two, but it’ll really collapse if I’m not there for a decade. I’ll head back and pack up now!”

Damned, he just happened to come at the wrong time. He was really too unlucky!

Ling Xi was extremely curious about the identity of that brave, beautiful young woman just now.

Ling Xi could not hold back his need to gossip. He coughed lightly and asked, “Big brother, is that beautiful young woman from just now an employee of your company? When did the employee hired by LSA have such a personality?”

Ling Xi had just finished speaking when he noticed that Li Yan’s face became even colder. His expression was obviously a reminder to Ling Xi that he was being a busybody!

Ling Xi stopped his curiosity very tactfully and immediately disappeared from Li Yan’s sight before Li Yan spoke up.

Ling Xi made a phone call outside of the office, “You two bastards. Come to the ‘Brilliant Dark Night’ to send me off! By the way, let me tell you a huge secret that’s absolutely shocking!”

The voice on the other end sounded unenthusiastic, “Is the shocking news about you? That you’re transferred overseas by big brother and not allowed to come back for a year?”

“…Lu Jingzhi, don’t jinx it! What I wanted to say is, Young Master Li, who stays clear of women, has a woman by his side now!”

At night, in Brilliant Dark Night, the high-end private club.

When Ling Xi entered the VVIP room, Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen had already arrived.

Ling Xi sat down leisurely, “Seems like you still have some conscience in you. Both of you are quite enthusiastic to send me off.”

Lu Jingzhi smiled faintly, “You assume too much. We’re only here to listen to First Young Master Li’s shocking news.”

Su Chen leaned against the couch and glanced at Ling Xi, “I heard that big brother has a woman by his side now? You saw it with your own eyes?”

Ling Xi started laughing, “Both of you are really into gossip. If you want to know, then one of you should go to South Africa to handle that batch of goods for me… ”

“Forget about it, we’re not interested.”

Ling Xi was rendered speechless.

Right at that moment, Li Yan pushed open the door and walked in.

Ling Xi was surprised, “Big brother, why are you here?”

“To send you off!” Li Yan had an indifferent expression on his face, but the tone of his voice sounded like he was here to send Ling Xi to the execution ground.

Ling Xi’s smug expression immediately disappeared. Of course he could not gossip about this man’s private matters before him.

Soon after, Lu Jingzhi said languidly, “Big brother, just now Ling Xi said that you have a woman by your side now. Is that true?”

Ling Xi cursed silently. This bastard actually dared to use him as an excuse!
