The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3721 Pressure from the Upper Level

Xu Xian hid at the door and eavesdropped for a while, just to hear what Li Menglong would say.

If he acted too crazy, she could find a place to hide for a while, or even take a nap.

But he seems to be rational. Although he is bullying everyone, his actual actions are just to take some snacks and make fun of people's work attitude.

There were no extreme actions and his words were barely within a reasonable range. At least compared with other company leaders, Li Menglong was restrained.

Considering that he usually pays enough overtime and also gives a generous year-end bonus at the end of the year, the upper limit of what these people can bear is estimated to be very high.

Nodding, Xu Xian thought she had a grasp of the situation. It was now up to her to perform.

But just as she was about to leave quietly, she was suddenly patted on the shoulder and heard a familiar voice in her ear: "Maknae? You are hiding here secretly, are you up to something bad?"

Xu Xian seemed to be wound up and took a big step forward. Because she had been hiding at the door before, she was now standing in the middle of the door.

Everyone in the office looked over subconsciously, including Li Menglong, but he quickly hid the snacks he had snatched behind him so that the little girl wouldn't see them.

He was really afraid of Xu Xian's nagging, and he found it hard to understand why Xu Xian, at such a young age, always had some problems that only older women would have.

If he had to give a reason, he might say that Xu Xian is more mature mentally.

There is a soul of at least fifty years old living in a twenty-year-old body. I don’t know if Xu Xian will like this statement.

Anyway, he has never said it out loud. His sixth sense tells him that the result will probably not be happy. Why not try it on the other girls one day?

He passed these messy thoughts in his mind, and his body had already walked to Xu Xian's side: "Why are you still here? Has the matter been resolved? You are worthy of being my most promising sister. Your ability to get things done is--"

"Oppa, I am the sister you favor the most. You clearly said something similar to me before. Have you forgotten it?" Yoona interrupted Li Menglong's confession sadly.

"Uh...did I say that? Are you sure?" Li Menglong was caught off guard: "Why don't you recall it again? Maybe you remembered it wrongly."

"How could I remember something like this wrong? I wrote down every word you said in my diary. If you don't believe me, I'll go back and show it to you right now!"

Yoona walked up to Li Menglong and grabbed his arm, as if she was going to confront him.

Although Li Menglong was very sure that Yoona was just bluffing, after all, who would write a diary?

But this kind of thing is hard to explain, and it's impossible to force Yoona to make the so-called diary public.

So Yoona was theoretically in an invincible position, and her main strategy was to apply extreme pressure, while Lee Moon-long chose to compromise actively.

"Yes, I may have said something similar, but it doesn't affect my love for Xu Xian." Li Menglong said shamelessly: "Who said that you can only like one person? I like both of you equally!"

This shameless answer drew boos from the people around him. Although the logic seemed to be correct, he was really shameless enough to say it in front of Seohyun and Yoona.

He had to be polite to Yoona. After all, he owed her money, so he was aware of the situation.

But why did those people around him make a scene? They just stole some snacks from them. They should reflect on themselves. Why did he have to do this himself? Didn't he know that he should take the initiative to confess?

"Do you feel that you have too little work on hand? Do you need me to help you out?" Li Menglong threatened.

But everyone was not buying it: "Please look carefully, it's not time to go to work yet. We didn't come to the company early for you to have fun. We have our own freedom!"

"That's easy. I can just change my working hours. From now on, I'll start working earlier—"

Before Li Menglong could finish his words, the people around him had already lowered their heads. No matter whether there was work at hand or not, they had to show their attitude first.

Although they could continue to be tough with Li Menglong, they would always be the ones who suffered losses because their status constraints were too great.

Just as Li Menglong had no good way to deal with Yoona, they were also helpless against Li Menglong.

"Tsk, if I can't even handle you guys, then why should I start a company? I'd better go home and take care of the kids." Li Menglong muttered softly.

Yoona felt that she was being implied. She was not a child. If anyone said that she was not mature enough, it was the women upstairs. It had nothing to do with her.

In order to avoid falling into the trap of self-proof, she planned to pull out Xu Xian behind her and let her clarify for herself.

But when she reached out her hand to grab some, she felt nothing but air.

She thought that her sliding range was not large enough, so she gathered all her strength and slid backwards in a big circle.

But she had touched the door frame, so why didn't she touch Xu Xian's body? Where was the little girl?

Yoona already had a bad feeling in her heart, wondering if the little girl had already sneaked away.

This is too unfair. It was Yoona who took the initiative to help. It would be fine if Seohyun is not grateful, but she should at least give her the appropriate return.

If she continues to be so selfish in the future, no one will want to play with her. Can the little girl understand the pros and cons of this?

Yoona wanted to find Seohyun to have a good chat. This was her duty as a sister, and she also enjoyed the process.

But is it too late to leave now?

"Why are you backing off? You showed up out of nowhere and you want to disappear again without giving me an explanation?"

Li Menglong grabbed Yoona's shoulders and kept pushing her into the office.

How could Yoona resist such a strange force? Her whole body was like duckweed in the wind, swaying continuously under the force. Finally, she was blocked by Li Menglong in the corner, which was his seat.

"Let me be frank. If it's a matter of money, there's no room for negotiation in the short term. I'm trying to find a solution."

Li Menglong first denied this specific topic, and then stretched out his hand to signal Yoona that she could speak.

Yoona opened her mouth, but couldn't think of a new topic for a moment. So was she being unreasonable?

The words of apology were on the tip of her tongue, but Yoona stopped in time. Why should she apologize? Or why can't we talk about this issue?

The person who owes money dares to be so arrogant. Is it because Lin Yoona is easy to bully?

"Stop talking nonsense and pay me back!" Yoona said succinctly. In order to prevent Li Menglong from shirking his responsibility, she simply put on a rogue attitude, leaning back on the chair, with her heels on the table, and her long legs were extremely conspicuous.

Li Menglong kept looking up and down, and his eyes were not enough for a moment.

First of all, Yoona’s charm is there, and Lee Moon-long also has the right to appreciate beautiful things.

Secondly, I really don't understand Yoona's behavior. What does she want to do? Force him to submit by giving him benefits?

If Yoona really thinks so, then Li Menglong can only say that the more the better, as the money cannot be paid back in a short time.

However, Yoona's next action dispelled his fantasy. Yoona grabbed his coat from the table on the side and covered him directly with it.

The difference in height and body shape between the two is too great; on Yoona, the coat looks no different than a quilt.

The beautiful things were completely sealed. Yoona put her hands on the back of her head, squinted her eyes and yawned, and then there were no more unnecessary movements.

"There are so many rooms in the company, why do you have to come to my place to catch up on some sleep? Aren't you bullying me?" Li Menglong complained.

Yoona only had two simple words for this: "Pay back the money!"

"It's not that I won't pay it back, you just have to give me some time. I also need to raise money."

"Pay back the money!"

"Can you please rephrase the words? At the very least, just say two more words. You're being rude."

"Pay back—the money—" Relying on her strong lung capacity, Yoona stretched out the two words to one minute, and even changed the tone of the numbers in the middle. People who didn't know her would think she was showing off her skills.

Li Menglong really had no way to deal with this. Unless he beat the little girl up, verbal persuasion alone would probably be useless.

But if a person who owes money beats up the creditor who is asking for money, it is too much of a challenge to his values. One can be shameless, but there must always be a bottom line.

After making sure that he had no solution, Li Menglong could only hope that Xu Xian would come up with a solution soon. He then grabbed a coat and covered Yoona's face with it, thinking, out of sight, out of mind.

Yoona accepted it all. She even felt more comfortable this way. Otherwise, how could she sleep under so many people's gaze? She didn't have the ability to control her facial expressions while sleeping.

Listening to Yoona's gradually calming breathing opposite him, Li Menglong was completely convinced. This ability to just find a place to fall asleep is truly enviable.

But he actually overlooked a small fact: Yoona was not that bold and casual. The reason she was able to fall asleep was because he was by her side.

Their trust in Li Menglong had no limit until he actually hurt them or disappointed them.

Even if Li Menglong knew this, he would probably find it difficult to feel happy because it was all stressful.

However, Xu Xian, who sneaked away, relieved all the stress. I wonder how embarrassed she must have been when she was frightened and jumped out.

If she had been given a rope at that time, she would most likely choose to strangle herself, or at least to the point of pretending to be dead, otherwise how could she escape?

But unexpectedly, Yoona would jump out to help her out. Is this her way of atonement?

Xu Xianquan thought that was what the other party thought, so she followed Yoona's kindness and sneaked out while everyone's attention was on the two of them.

She had originally been thinking about whether she should delay for some time, but now it seems that she really can't go back immediately.

At least she didn't plan to go back until Yoona left. Otherwise, what would she say after meeting her? Should she thank Yoona for her kindness?

She could say that, but Yoona probably wouldn't appreciate it. After all, the same thing can mean two extremes in the eyes of different people.

For example, Xu Xian thought that she was complying with Yoona's good intentions, but in Yoona's eyes, this behavior could be equated with running away and betrayal.

However, even if it would delay time, she had to make use of this time, and settling Li Menglong's debt was undoubtedly her top priority.

Standing on the third floor and looking at each room, she was thinking about the reimbursement process and which specific departments would be responsible for it.

After going over the thought in her mind, Xu Xian was the first to arrive at the door of Li Enxi's office. No matter what she wanted to do, she couldn't get around this person.

While knocking politely, Xu Xian was also muttering in her heart: This woman hasn't come yet, has she? Being a president is so cool, it makes people envious.

"Please bring me a cup of coffee, thank you." Li Enxi's voice sounded a little dull through the door.

Xu Xian subconsciously raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch. Was she confused about the time? Or was there something wrong with Li Eun Hee's time?

However, she only dared to complain a few words in her heart. She still had to take action according to Li Enxi's instructions.

Not to mention that she was planning to ask Li Enxi for help, even if she was just asked for help, it would be difficult for her to refuse.

However, Xu Xian soon fell into the thinking trap of people in the workplace: when the boss casually gives an order, to what extent should you do it?

"Do you want the instant coffee on the third floor? Or the coffee from the coffee machine on the first floor?" Xu Xian leaned in the corner and kept talking to herself, "You can't ask me to go out and buy her a cup, right?"

This question completely overwhelmed Xu Xian. She previously thought that she was well adapted to the workplace, that is, being an artist. Otherwise, if she changed to being a company employee, she could still be at the top.

But now it seems that she was still naive. Her so-called adaptation, not to mention the bonus brought by her identity as an artist, just the presence of Li Menglong behind her was enough for her to walk sideways in the company.

It's just that he met Li Enxi at this moment, who is one of the few people in the company who can ride on the dragon head of Li Meng.

Since she can't make up her mind on her own, she can seek help off the field. As the youngest member of the team, it is perfectly normal for her to go to her sister when she has problems.

"Huh? Why are you here? Are you here to plead for Li Menglong?"

The girls were quite surprised at Xu Xian's appearance. After all, this little girl had the potential to be a workaholic. As long as she was in the company, she had no time to "play" with them.

So they naturally made guesses, but the reason Xu Xian gave was even more outrageous than they guessed.

"What kind of coffee would Li Enxi like to drink? Are you sure this is the question?"

"Please, we are busy too. Can you please not come to us for this kind of house-playing game?"

"Don't act pitiful here, we won't buy it."

Although the girls' words were heartless, they still reluctantly gave a solution because Xu Xian took the initiative to act coquettishly.

So half an hour later, Xu Xian pushed open the door of Li Enxi's office with a tray: "Hello, instant coffee, blended coffee, handmade boutique coffee... Which one do you want?"
