A loud bang rang through the air.
As soon as Xia Yanran had finished speaking, CEO Tan threw his glass to the ground.
Some glass shards flew to her calf and seemed to have pierced into her skin, and there was a jarring pain that almost made her gasp.
But she only frowned, and did not let it show on her face.
“Miss Xia, don’t act ignorant. Since you don’t show respect to me, do you believe I’ll immediately cancel the cooperation with your newspaper!” CEO Tan threatened.
It was not that Xia Yanran had not encountered such a situation when she entered the workforce.
Naturally she had the ability to resolve it.
But now…
She looked at the man sitting beside CEO Yang from the corner of her eyes. He had his eyes lowered and was listening to CEO Yang, his hand playing with a silver lighter. He looked listless like he was oblivious to the outside world.
So he really had really forgotten all about her! Otherwise, how could he not say a word, seeing that she was being bullied like this?
Ever since they broke up, perhaps she was the only one who could not forget.
A mocking smile appeared on her lips and Xia Yanran called the waiter over, asking him to pour her two glasses of white wine.
She handed one glass to CEO Tan. “I’ll drink two glasses, CEO Tan you drink one. Please calm down.”
“Three glasses.”
Xia Yanran smiled. “No problem.”
CEO Tan raised his glass with a look of satisfaction and touched his glass with Xia Yanran’s, his eyes ogling at her full chest.
The salivating look in his eyes seemed to show that he wanted to devour Xia Yanran.
“If there is only CEO Tan and Miss Xia in the room now, I think CEO Tan would strip Xia Yanran’s clothes off…”
Before CEO Yang could finish, the lighter in Xiao Yi’s hand suddenly flew out.
And it happened to land on CEO Tan’s glass.
The glass suddenly broke and CEO Tan was unprepared, the back of his hand and palm were pierced by glass shards and he shouted in pain.
“Who? Who dared to smash my glass?” CEO Tan threw the remains of the glass that was in his hand and looked at his injured hand, shouting with a menacing face.
The atmosphere in the room became stifled and oppressive.
CEO Tan thought it was the other CEOs or their assistants who had done it. Among the CEOs, CEO Tan was considered the most powerful and wealthy, he was not afraid of offending anyone.
“You dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it? Son of a b*tch…”
Before he could finish, a cold laugh sounded suddenly. It was very prominent in the quiet room.
The tall man stood up from his chair, his hands in his pants pocket, a leisurely and unconcerned look which also gleamed with a trace of bloodthirsty hostility.
He was after all a person who licked blood on his knife. From wherever he stood, he was able to exude an air of danger and coldness.
It was not something a businessman like CEO Tan could match.
CEO Yang had seen Xiao Yi flick the lighter out and smashed CEO Tan’s glass.
Wasn’t Xiao Yi about to be engaged with Second Master Qin’s daughter. Was he interested in Xia Yanran?
Probably it was the righteousness in him that made him unable to stand CEO Tan bullying a girl.
CEO Tan saw Xiao Yi walking towards him and he frowned.
Although he knew Xiao Yi, he did not know him that well.
He would not be like CEO Yang, sucking up to him like a pug.
Not wanting to lose face in front of Xia Yanran and the other CEOs, CEO Tan straightened up his neck and shouted angrily, “Xiao Yi, you’re just a dog of Second Master Qin. Do you think you’re still that CEO Xiao in Ning City? I have business dealings with Second Master Qin, just one word from me and he will punish you, you disobedient dog!”
CEO Yang wanted to get up and remind CEO Tan that Xiao Yi was not to be trifled with.
Second Master Qin was getting old and when Xiao Yi and his daughter get engaged, wouldn’t all the assets of the Qin family be under Xiao Yi’s name? Besides, Xiao Yi had certain means in the business industry, if CEO Tan provoked him, his business might even go bankrupt!
The other two CEOs shot CEO Yang a look, indicating that he should not get himself involved in this messy situation.
The assistant that was with CEO Tan wanted to go forward a few times, but his legs turned weak when Xiao Yi swept his eyes over him.
Like a panther, Xiao Yi stalked slowly to the front of CEO Tan, as though he was eyeing his prey.
Xiao Yi was a head taller than CEO Tan, one was short and fat, the other tall and slim. The huge shadow hung over CEO Tan and he was in a panic, looking up at Xiao Yi. “What do you want to do?”
Xiao Yi was wearing a pair of black pants that ended above his ankles, revealing his ankles, and his black leather shoes were spotless. The corner of his lips were lifted up and there was a terrifying coldness shooting out from his eyes. “Then do you know the consequence of being bitten by a dog?”
As his last syllable fell, he raised his leg, accurately and ruthlessly landing on CEO Tan’s calf bone.
The calf bone was the most fragile bone of a human being. It would hurt just being kicked lightly, not to mention being kicked so hard and deliberately by Xiao Yi.
The blood on CEO Tan’s face drained away, shouting even louder when the glass shards pierced his hand, “Argh! How dare you kick me? Believe it or not, I’ll sue you till you get thrown in prison!”
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, looking like he wanted to laugh, and he looked scary.
He was not afraid of CEO Tan’s threat and grabbed his wrist, pressing his injured hand onto the table.
When Xia Yanran and the other CEOs in the room saw this, they were puzzled.
What was Xiao Yi going to do to CEO Tan?
Xiao Yi took out a sharp dagger from his waist, the dangerous smile on his face deepening. “Recently I’m practicing my knife skills. Since CEO Tan is so good, I’ll use CEO Tan’s hand to try it out.”
CEO Tan looked at the dagger and he sobered up a lot.
He blinked and looked at the man close to him, his expression changing.
God, how did he provoked this devil?
“M-Master Xiao…”
Not giving CEO Tan the chance to finish, the dagger suddenly shot between the fingers of CEO Tan.
The action was sharp and fast.
Everyone in the room held their breath when they saw this, let alone CEO Tan who had the dagger between his fingers.
“M-Master Xiao, Master Xiao. I drank too much and said the wrong thing. Let me off this time!”
Xiao Yi cut a wound on each of CEO Tan’s finger. CEO Tan’s face paled with the pain, but he dared not say anything and could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
“CEO Tan, remember, next time don’t do cross cup drinking with a woman so easily!”
Retrieving the dagger, Xiao Yi took several paper towels to wipe the blood away. Then he strode out of the room quickly, not staying a second longer in the room.
Xia Yanran only reacted when the door to the room was closed.
She let the other CEOs know before walking out of the room in big steps.
By then, Xiao Yi had already walked to the lobby.
Taking in a deep breath, Xia Yanran ran towards him.
“Xiao Yi…” She called his name instinctively, but the next second, changed how she addressed him. “Mr Xiao!”
