The male supporting character was actually myself.

After all, the father has an illegitimate child outside!

Although his mother had almost cut off all contact with him back then, the old man still refused to give up.

Especially after Xingluo left a note saying she was going out for a walk and then disappeared, the two elders disapproved of Xingchen and also disliked Yingying and her nephew Qingwei, which made them feel uncomfortable as well.

Yesterday, I suddenly received a call from the manager of the villa, saying that Xingluo had returned looking disheveled and had apparently suffered a lot. I was initially a little soft-hearted, but the thought of that note he left made me furious!

He wants to quit at the slightest pressure; he's definitely been spoiled by his mother.

That woman...

The image of his ex-wife flashed through his mind, filling Ye Zhong with boundless hatred. He also found Ye Xingluo, who bore a resemblance to her, utterly repulsive.

She was petty and malicious, and drove her beloved to her death.

If she hadn't forced the Ye family into a marriage alliance with her own wealth back then, how could I have been willing to marry and have children with such a domineering woman?

Chapter Fourteen: Give her a push!

Everything is her fault!

She used every means to marry into the Ye family, forcing her parents to separate her from her first love, Yang Yingying. After marriage, she lived a very repressed life. Fortunately, she met the gentle, considerate, and understanding Mengdie, and only by falling into her gentle embrace could she relieve the pressure from all sides.

In the end, this gentle woman who was so unassuming and unambitious was still driven to her death by the vicious Gu Yurou.

Only the young child was left deprived of maternal love and crying for milk.

Ye Zhong felt immense pity for Ye Xingchen, but the old man and woman simply ignored him, instead doting on the utterly useless Ye Xingluo.

The two of them didn't return home last night; they must have been with Xingluo.

That hopeless son of a man is a headache to even think about!

He would have ended it all by dying out there, but he just had to come back.

Hopefully, the two elders aren't senile yet, and they won't pass on their family heirloom and secrets to Ye Xingluo. Otherwise, the Ye Group, which I've worked so hard to build, will probably be completely destroyed in his hands!

"Chairman, we've arrived." Just as he closed his eyes to ponder how to handle Ye Xingluo in the cold, his assistant gently reminded him.

A black luxury van silently pulled up in front of the building.

Having received prior notice, the lobby manager and security guards evacuated all irrelevant personnel. At this moment, everyone in the lobby was quietly working at their posts, with only the occasional clicking of computer keyboards to be heard, and not a single cough or conversation could be heard.

"Damn! The female lead is still signing the papers. Judging from how she's dawdling, she'll probably be out of the mailroom for a while." The little white cat scratched its ear and clung to the car door with its paws.

The scene briefly mentioned in the script should be that Ye Zhong took the elevator first, while the female lead An Muya fell down in the lobby and was ridiculed and mocked by the crowd.

The two completely missed their chance to meet.

The host repeatedly instructed that the two must bump into each other at this time, preferably with An Muya falling in front of Ye Zhong, the more spectacular the fall, the better the effect.

If, like in some novels or TV dramas, the female lead's uniform—a black business short skirt issued by the Ye family—tears with a "rip," revealing her underwear and making her feel shy and embarrassed, that would be even better!

The little white cat was very confident in itself, so when the male assistant was sweating profusely from trying to open the car door, the fluffy little cat used its paws to push against the latches inside the car door while revealing a sly smile.

Sure enough, An Muya finally finished signing the document after a long and slow process.

She muttered a complaint about how such a big and heavy cardboard box had been made to be carried by a weak little girl like her. She thought the team leader was indeed taking revenge on her own. Then she slowly walked into the lobby to take the elevator.

"Which department are you from?" the lobby manager asked, stepping forward. "Don't you know that personal items aren't allowed to be sent to the company?"

An Muya carried the heavy cardboard box and replied irritably, "Please look carefully, brother. This is the data received by the project department. How could it be my own stuff?"

It's so big and heavy, I wouldn't send it to the office if I were shipping something!

"Hurry up and get out of here! Didn't you see the chairman's car is parked at the entrance?" The supervisor glanced at him and waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Unauthorized personnel, please stay away for now and don't get in the way of the chairman."

They're just bullying their master!

An Muya cursed inwardly, thinking that if she were the supervisor, she wouldn't be so fierce. She didn't have much power, yet she acted so arrogantly.

Do you think I don't want to leave quickly?

I don't want to carry this heavy box around all the time!

Not only do they have no compassion and refuse to help, but they also make sarcastic remarks. They are truly heartless!

If this were my company, you'd be fired the first thing I'd do!

She thought bitterly, but dared not utter a sound. Holding the box, she lowered her head and walked quickly toward the staff elevator.

"Chairman, there's something wrong with the car door..." The male assistant shook the handle hard, but he couldn't open the car door no matter what he tried.

Seeing this, the driver rushed down to help open the doors from the outside, but despite their efforts, the doors remained firmly shut.

"Oh ho, now's the time!" The little white cat, which had been watching the female lead's every move, released its paws, and the driver and assistant almost fell over, but fortunately, it didn't take too long to open the car door.

Ye Zhong frowned slightly as he got out of the car and casually instructed, "Take the car to be inspected and repaired. Use another car for now."

"Yes, Chairman!" The driver wiped the cold sweat from his brow, bent down to escort him into the lobby, and hurriedly drove to the dealership for a full inspection.

Just then, An Muya was slowly walking through the hall when the supervisor saw her and hurriedly grabbed her, "You have no sense of propriety! Can't you see the chairman is coming? Stand at the back and don't block the way!"

On the vast first floor, everyone else was engrossed in their work, except for An Muya, who stood awkwardly in the center, holding a cardboard box. Her dissatisfaction was immediately ignited, and she said aggrievedly, "What exactly do you mean? One minute you're telling me to hurry up and leave, the next minute you're not letting me leave. What do you want?"

"Shh!" The lobby manager pushed her towards a corner, his expression stern as he gestured for her to be quiet. "Didn't your parents teach you that you can't shout in public?"

That's so rude!

The chairman hates inefficient and noisy employees the most. If he catches you doing that, you might lose your internship opportunity!

"I wasn't yelling at you! I was trying to reason with you!" An Muya felt extremely wronged. How could a little girl like her carry such a heavy box?

Not only did no one offer to help, but they also found fault with everything!

Sure enough, the guys working in big companies are scheming against each other all day long and aren't kind at all.

Huh? Who did he just say?

An Muya, slow to react and belatedly realizing, suddenly understood that the lobby manager seemed to be talking about the chairman.

Is it the famous Ye Zhong?

She turned around as she carried the box, wanting to see the handsome chairman, whose photos she often saw in the news media, in person.

At this moment, Ye Zhong strode into the lobby, listening to his assistant quietly remind him of today's work schedule as he walked towards his private elevator.

"Wow! The chairman is so handsome!" An Muya turned around and saw that mature and handsome face, and immediately became a fangirl. "He's much more handsome in person than in the news! He must be at least 1.8 meters tall, and he has such a great physique!"

Upon hearing this, the lobby manager frowned deeply, wishing he could shut her up and shut her up.

The little white cat then took the opportunity to give An Muya a push.

So, amidst the complicated situation of turning around to swoon while carrying heavy objects, being pushed by the lobby manager, and being pushed in the opposite direction by the little white cat, she tripped over her loose shoelace and instantly fell to the ground.

"Ah!" A sudden scream echoed through the hall, followed by a crash as cardboard boxes fell to the ground, scattering materials all over the floor.

Paper flew everywhere, then slowly drifted down into the clean and luxurious hall, creating a colorful feeling of feathers filling the air.

Ye Zhong looked up slightly upon hearing the sound, and his male assistant hurriedly stepped forward to handle the unexpected situation.

"Sorry, this intern is too clumsy. I'll clean it up right away!" The lobby manager was furious and quickly squatted down to pick up the papers so as not to block the chairman's way.

"Waaaaah~ It's all your fault! Why did you push me? It hurts so much..." An Muya fell hard to the ground, her grievances reaching their peak.

Why do I have to be bullied by them even though I work so hard?

Knowing full well that the chairman was nearby, this despicable guy still insisted on pushing me down and making me look bad!

If I lose my internship opportunity because of this, I will hate him!

Chapter 15 is 50% complete...

"Waaaaah~ You're all bullying me!" An Muya felt more and more aggrieved. Her hands and knees were still burning with pain, and she couldn't help but cry out.

Ye Zhong frowned slightly.

He was determined to achieve something to gain his father's approval, so since taking office, he has reorganized the Yip Group and established a unique corporate culture—professionalism, efficiency, meticulousness, hard work, and stability.

I hate employees who yell and shout regardless of the situation, and who are more trouble than they're worth. But when Ye Zhong's slightly disgusted gaze fell on the girl lying on the ground, he couldn't bring himself to dislike her.

They even felt that the beautiful young girl's tearful appearance was quite endearing.

"Oh dear, what am I going to do..." An Muya was sobbing and wiping her tears with the back of her hand when she suddenly remembered that the chairman was still there. She hurriedly got up, only to find that the uniform skirt that was uniformly distributed had been torn at some point!

The little white cat stood to the side, its paws outstretched, revealing sharp, gleaming claws. It chuckled and said, "No need to thank me, it was just a small favor. The effect is already maximized, isn't it? The female lead's aura can't help but shine!"

The short skirt, which was already just above the knee, was torn, splitting from the side all the way to the upper thigh, vaguely revealing the light blue underneath.

An Muya blushed deeply with embarrassment, too ashamed to lift her head, and could only barely cover herself with her skirt. However, after falling and getting up, and with her skirt torn, her clothes were disheveled and the buttons on her top were undone at some point.

He wore a white shirt with a bow tie under a black business suit jacket. The bow tie, which had been carefully tied, was loose and askew to one side, revealing a hint of light pink underneath.

For some reason, Ye Zhong, who was usually calm, composed and knowledgeable, seemed to be struck by something that had always kept his heart calm.

Something is sprouting, growing, and stirring!

Is it a yearning for youthful vitality? Or is it a passion that has somehow vanished?

"This is the power of the Mary Sue heroine's halo!" The fluffy little ball stared at An Muya with shining eyes, its big, deep blue, watery eyes reflecting a dazzling light!

A rainbow-like protagonist's halo emanated from the female lead, An Muya, enveloping the stunned Ye Zhong.

He felt his mouth was dry and his heart was pounding.

The impulse he had never felt even with his first love or a gentle embrace made him breathe rapidly, and he just wanted to hold this petite and lovely girl and crush her into his very bones!

"Chairman, there's nothing seriously wrong here. I'll arrange for the relevant department to dismiss this clumsy intern who can't even handle the documents properly."

Let's go to the meeting room now; everyone else should be here by now.

The entire incident lasted only a dozen seconds. After the assistant stepped forward to make sure there was no emergency targeting the chairman, he bowed slightly and asked him to walk around the documents scattered on the floor to get to the elevator.

"Why should I be fired?" An Muya was stunned when she heard her assistant's words.

She desperately needed the experience of interning at the Ye Group to enhance her less-than-stellar academic background, and to make matters worse, she happened to run into the handsome chairman. Being fired in front of him was incredibly humiliating!

"What did I do wrong that my team leader used his position to take down such a heavy box of documents as a personal vendetta?"

If he hadn't been urging me to hurry up and then stopping me, pulling and tugging at me and even pushing me, I wouldn't have fallen.

Even if someone is to be held accountable, they should be the one to apologize to me and bear the consequences!

An Muya bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes, but she still tried her best to hold her head high and defend herself with a touch of stubbornness.
