The man had an imposing air even when he wasn’t angry. He merely stared at Leng Xingyang coldly, and Xingyang felt as though there were nowhere he could hide.
His little body even trembled slightly despite himself.
Still, he kept his lips tightly pressed together and showed no sign of revealing anything.
Fortunately, Leng Shaoting said nothing. He lowered his eyes and continued reading the documents in his hands.
Leng Xingyang hurried off to his own “work station.”
A small office had been set up for him next to Leng Shaoting’s.
He had to come to the company twice a week to get used to the corporate environment and learn how to manage a company.
He was only three, so naturally he couldn’t understand the company documents. Leng Shaoting had arranged for some teachers to teach him business-related subjects instead.
Once Leng Xingyang was out of sight, he toddled over to the desk and chair specially made for him, climbed up, and began listening to his lesson attentively.
Only then did Leng Shaoting glance at Fu Cheng. “Speak.”
At that single word, Fu Cheng immediately sold Leng Xingyang out.
Without hesitation, he told Leng Shaoting everything he had just seen, from beginning to end.
At the end, Fu Cheng said tactfully, “The young master is only three, after all, and he doesn’t get to spend much time with his mother. Maybe he envies the other children…”
Leng Shaoting’s tone was indifferent. “You think just anyone can get close to him?”
Fu Cheng froze, then said with a grave expression, “President Leng, you mean… that woman deliberately approached the young master?”
Everyone knew Young Master Leng had a son, but over the years, plenty of people had tried to get their hands on the young master.
The last woman who’d dared to approach him had ended up married to an old man in his eighties.
People around him had been much quieter lately.
Could there be someone else who wasn’t afraid of dying?
Young Master Leng narrowed his eyes, a chill in his gaze.
It was rare for Leng Xingyang to let anyone kiss and cuddle him.
Even with his own father, Leng Xingyang had never acted spoiled.
The man tapped his fingers on the desk, his voice cold. “Who is that woman?”
Fu Cheng quickly got Xia Anxin’s records.
A few minutes later, all of Xia Anxin’s company records were in Young Master Leng’s hands.
He looked at the photo on her employment application and couldn’t help frowning.
The woman had clear, gentle eyes and attractive features, but they were marred by the large birthmark on her face.
Fu Cheng had also gone over Xia Anxin’s records carefully. He reported, “President Leng, Xia Anxin is from Yecheng, but she grew up in Meilin Village. The Meilin Branch was established three years ago, and after joining the company, she was put in charge of the Meilin Resort project. She stayed at the branch for three years and was named an Outstanding Employee every year. The branch staff think very highly of her.
“She just transferred from the branch to headquarters today. Before this, we found no indication that she’d ever crossed paths with the young master. He’s always accompanied by a designated driver when he comes and goes, and not many people inside the company know what he looks like. Xia Anxin should have had no way of knowing him.”
Young Master Leng’s gaze settled on Xia Anxin’s photo. He narrowed his eyes.
There was something strange about this at every turn.
…
After Xia Anxin returned to her workstation, she focused on her work. As soon as lunchtime came, she hurried to get up and go find Nuonuo.
But the moment she stood, she saw the department manager, Lina, walking toward her.
Lina, who had been so pleasant with her that morning, now wore a distinctly different expression.
Lina had once happened to see Leng Xingyang with Young Master Leng, so she naturally recognized the Crown Prince.
That morning, when she saw Xia Anxin daring to hold Leng Xingyang in the restroom, she had nearly cried out in surprise.
She’d spent all morning puzzling over it, but couldn’t find any special connections Xia Anxin might have. In the end, she’d concluded that Xia Anxin was deliberately sucking up to the Crown Prince, hoping to cling to power and climb the ladder.
She gave Xia Anxin a quick once-over, her voice rising slightly. “Xia Anxin?”
Xia Anxin nodded quickly. “Sister Lina, is there something you need me to do?”
Lina gave a cold snort. The contempt in her eyes was almost impossible to hide. “Xia Anxin, our Yecheng headquarters isn’t like the branch. Now that you’re here, keep your head down and behave. If you try anything underhanded again, don’t blame Yunzhou for not having a place for you! Ugly people are always causing trouble!”
