Ye Xingbei frowned, stopped in her tracks, and stared at her secretary. “Xiao Tian, who gave you permission to let President Gu into my office without notifying me in advance?”

She had been too preoccupied with her argument with Gu Junzhu over Xueno to remember this.

Without receiving any prior notice, Xiao Tian had knocked on the door and brought Gu Junzhu straight in.

If she had been informed in advance, she definitely would not have met Gu Junzhu still in her socks.

She would have then prevented Gu Junzhu from seeing Xueno giving her a foot massage.

If Junzhu hadn’t seen Xueno massaging her feet, their argument would not have occurred.

All of this was precipitated by her great secretary forgetting to announce Gu Junzhu’s arrival before leading him into her office.

Upon hearing Ye Xingbei’s interrogation, Tian Wen froze, bit her lip and pleaded in a soft voice, “Director, I’m sorry. President Gu said that he had an appointment with you, so I…”

“So, if he said he had an appointment with me, you would believe him?” Ye Xingbei scornfully asked. “As a secretary, you lack even the basic professional competency! Ms. Secretary, I’m officially notifying you that you’re fired! Collect your three-months’ pay from the finance department, you are not to come to work tomorrow.”

“What?” Tian Wen opened her eyes wide in astonishment, looking at Ye Xingbei, “You… Are you firing me?”

“Yes,” Ye Xingbei replied coldly. “You lack the ability to fulfill the tasks of my secretary and made a huge mistake today, which is unforgivable. You’re fired!” Ye Xingbei had already been unsatisfied with this secretary

Ye Xingli had been the one to get her the job

Besides being attractive, she was pretty much useless

All she did was primp herself and flirt all day. She did no real work and had zero capacity to perform her duties. Ye Xingbei had wanted to fire her a long time ago.

Today’s incident was just a trigger point

A trigger point that gave her a legitimate reason to fire her.

Despite being young, Ye Xingbei was personally fostered by the helmsman of Star Palace, Ye Xinglan. She carried herself with a graceful, commanding presence.

Despite her delicate beauty, when she spoke with a stern face, she exuded an overwhelming aura of authority, a natural leader that made others want to bow down.

Tian Wen felt unfairly treated and scared. Her eyes welled up, and she protested weakly, “I was hired by President Ye. You don’t have the right to fire me!”

The “President Ye” she was speaking about was Ye Xingli.

Ye Xingbei snorted and took the phone out. She dialed her second brother, Ye Xingli. Putting the call on speaker, she said, “Second Brother, Secretary Tian made several errors today. I’d like to fire her. Do you have any complaints?” “Complaints? What complaints could I have?” Ye Xingli’s voice oozed with flattery, “Dear sister, everything you say and do in the company counts! Is there anything else? If not, I’ll hang up. I’m rather busy. I’ll call you later!” “Uh-huh,” Ye Xingbei acknowledged, “I have no other business.”

The call was ended abruptly.

Ye Xingbei held her phone and became silent…

Her second brother had presumably gone off on one of his adventures again, lost in his pleasures.

It was beyond her why her eldest and second brother were so diametrically opposed, despite sharing the same mother. They looked similar yet were so different in character.

Her eldest brother was a conscientious workaholic, lamenting he couldn’t stretch one day into forty-eight hours of work.

Her second brother, on the other hand, was a wanderer who loved to romp around here and there, indulging in food, drink, and pleasure.

These two were nothing alike!

She put away her phone and looked up at Tian Wen, “Did you hear that?”
