Chapter 166: Alone Together (1)
The girls laughed, not knowing that Xia Zhetao could hear everything clearly by the side. At that moment, his face was full of panic.
Excuse me?! The former Mrs. President kicked the pervert who molested her until she ruined him? Thinking about it… just made that part of his hurt as well.
He thought that his president was already brutal enough. He did not expect the former Mrs. President to be even more brutal than the president.
‘Aaaaahhhh! Mr. Police, it’s those two! Hurry up and catch them! I’m about to start crying because of fear!’
The terrified Mighty Secretary Xia and the giggling girls did not notice that not far away, someone listened to their discussion quietly in a corner and curled up her lips slowly.
As Zhao Youxi listened to the girls’ discussion, she could not hide the delight over Zhao Yifei’s misfortune.
‘Zhao Yifei, to think that you would end up like this. I originally wanted to torment you, but you went off to cause trouble to yourself.
‘But that’s good too. Saved me the trouble. I hope that you can stay for a few more days in the hospital. I hope that you won’t be able to use that part anymore and won’t visit all the girls you lust after and harass.
‘Now that Zhao Yifei is dealt with, the only one left is…’
Zaho Youxi discreetly cast a glance at the elevator behind the colored glass, and her eyes flashed.
“Speaking of which, did you see the general manager leading a man to her floor just now?”
“A man?”
“That’s right. I saw it just now. A really handsome man followed the general manager into the elevator. But that’s the general manager’s private elevator. It heads straight to the floor where the general manager’s floor is. Usually, aside from the general manager, only the chief secretary and the other secretaries can use it. Do you think that the man… is the general manager’s boyfriend?”
By the side, Xia Zhetao heard their conversation, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably. So that elevator belonged to the former Mrs. President? It was no wonder why that elevator just now only carried the former Mrs. President while the other elevators were full of people.
Oh, my God! What a beautiful chance for the two of them to be together alone! There were so many elevators around, but they found the one belonging to the former Mrs. President! Whew, this was fate!
While Xia Zhetao was busy musing about fate, the girls were already talking happily about this topic.
“No way, I heard that the general manager was married and even has a son. That man might be the general manager’s husband!”
When Xia Zhetao heard this, he quietly gave a thumbs-up to that girl. His president was the husband of the former Mrs. President, but he had to add an ex to the word.
“And you still won’t admit that you’re outdated? That news of yours is old news! Let me tell you, the general manager was indeed married and has a son, but she got divorced from her husband a few months ago. Why else do you think the men in the company all look like they’ve drunk a few cans of energy drinks lately and always appear in front of the general manager even when they have nothing to say to her? It’s all because they’re thinking of ways to gain her favor because she’s single now.”
‘What?!’ The alarm bells in Xia Zhetao’s mind rang shrilly. ‘There are countless wicked people who are coveting the former Mrs. President in the company? If the president doesn’t work harder, the former Mrs. President is going to end up with someone else!’
“The general manager is really pretty, and she has a good background. I also heard from the people working beside her that she has a good temper. Right now, all the men will only judge things based on what they see, and the general manager is practically perfect in every aspect. How could she not be admired by people?” The girl’s voice was full of admiration, but no envy, making it clear that she left behind a pretty good impression among the Zhao Enterprise employees while she was working in the company.
This was something that caused great anger in Zhao Youxi. She had joined the company for a few years, but while the people in the company respected and kept their distance from her because of her status, in truth, due to Zhao Youxi’s appearance, when she just joined the company, she had plenty of admirers as well. At that time, she had been pleased while putting on an aloof demeanor that kept people at arm’s length.
Later on, she chose the person with the best conditions and dated him for a while before she got tired of him. Besides, at that time, she ran into someone with even better conditions, so she dumped him without hesitation and threw herself into the other man’s arms.
This happened a few times, and it led to not only the girls in the company regarding her actions in disdain, even the men who liked her started staying away from her. After all, no matter how magnanimous a man was, he could not tolerate the fact that a woman could cheat on him at any moment.
But Zhao Youxi did not know this. She just thought that it was necessary for a girl to be picky when it came to ensuring a peaceful and happy life in the future. She was making plans for her future, and she did nothing wrong.
Hence, when Zhao Youxi dated men, she always did whatever she wanted and did not care how the people around her regarded her.
Before Zhao Youlin entered Zhao Enterprise, the people in the company were wary of Zhao Youxi’s status as a lady in the Zhao family and did not dare show it even if they were displeased with her.
But ever since she was humiliated by Zhao Shunrong and Zhao Youlin before everyone’s eyes, no matter how slow-witted a person was, they would notice that while they were both ladies in the Zhao family, there was a difference in status between them, and Zhao Youxi was the one getting stomped beneath Zhao Youlin’s feet.
There were plenty of people who loved kicking someone when they were down in the current society. Once the employees saw this clearly, their attitude toward Zhao Youxi before and after changed 180 degrees.
Zhao Youxi lived in hardship, only to find out that Zhao Youlin became the epitome of excellence in the hearts of the employees without even needing to do anything. There was no way she would not hate this.
“Sigh. That’s why I said that while we’re all humans, people are still born with different fates. Some people are born to be blessed by the Gods, and it’s useless even if you envy them. But speaking of which, the general manager is a good woman, so how could she have gotten divorced from her ex? Which bastard is it who decided to get knocked in the head? They already have a son, and he still divorced the general manager? He must be scum!”
‘Scum?!’ Xia Zhetao’s lips twitched. When he heard other people call his superior scum, he had nothing to say about it, and he did not dare to comment on it either.
“I heard from the others that the general manager’s ex, that scum, I mean, is the president of Mu Feng Group.”
“That president from Mu Feng Group? The expressionless man who always appears on the covers of magazines? …Huh? Wait. I remember now. Just now, the man who entered the elevator with the general manager… is President Mu, right? It’s no wonder why I found him familiar, like I’ve seen him before.”
The moment the girl said this, the people beside her burst into a ruckus. After discussing for so long, the one who entered the elevator with the general manager… was her ex?!
Once Zhao Youxi heard the girl’s words, the victorious smile on her face froze, and unable to control herself, she had fear and shock appear in her eyes.
