The Project Manager remained calm. Mo Beichen had previously instructed him to find means and ways to make the Dong family back out. Thus, he was not afraid of Dong Yingying throwing her temper at him.

Xia Weilan narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, something crossed her mind and she finally understood that Mo Beichen actually didn’t want to get into this business deal.

Dong Yingying abruptly stood up from the chair, sending the chair sliding across the floor with a loud noise. “We’ll end the meeting here! Mo-ge, let’s have a meal together!”

Dong Yingying walked over and was about to reach out for Mo Beichen’s arm that was resting on the desk.

Mo Beichen was about to move his hand away, but Xia Weilan quickly blocked Dong Yingying.

“What are you doing? Mo-ge and I are about to go for lunch. Get out of the way.”

“Sorry, Miss Dong. Our president has mysophobia.”

Mo Beichen curled the corners of his lips and happily stood up from the chair, “Since Miss Dong has no intention to talk about the deal, I’ll leave.”

Mo Beichen was about to leave.

Dong Yingying’s gaze shifted back and forth between Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan. She saw that there’s something going on between the two of them and she couldn’t help but yell at Xia Weilan angrily, “You witch! How dare you seduce Mo-ge!”

Mo Beichen halted his footsteps and the atmosphere surrounding the conference room instantly became ice cold. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind appearing out of nowhere that made everyone tremble.

Everyone put on a different expression. Xia Weilan narrowed her eyes in displeasure, the Project Manager widened his eyes while Dong Yingying’s face turned blue.

“Young Miss, since it’s not a good day today to have the meeting, let’s come back another day.” A representative from the Dong family quickly pulls back Dong Yingying so that she’ll stop making a fool out of herself.

Mo Beichen turned around angrily, and his eyes were already filled with anger.

“What is there to talk about?!” Dong Yingying shook off her subordinates and turned around to Mo Beichen, “Mo-ge, let me set this straight. I won’t do any business dealing unless you fire this woman!”

Mo Beichen curled his lips coldly. He stepped beside Xia Weilan and took her in his arms.

He said to Dong Yingying, “There’s no way I will fire her. You may leave now.”

Dong Yingying looked at them in disbelief, “Mo-ge, you, you’re really bewitched by her!.”

“Get the security guard to come in and escort this woman who speaks irresponsibly.” Mo Beichen didn’t want to talk further nonsense with Dong Yingying.

Soon, a few security guards appeared in the conference room. They were all tall and strong with an attitude that caused all the others who came with Dong Yingying to shiver in fear.

Before Dong Yingying could say anything, she was forcibly escorted and she looked very awkward.

At last, the conference room is quiet again.

The Project Manager tactfully walked out from the room, leaving Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan in the conference room.

Xia Weilan pulled away from his arms and said confidently, “You’re trying to get rid of the Dong family?”

“That’s right.” Mo Beichen’s reply sent relief to Xia Weilan. It turns out that his tolerance toward that woman just now was part of the scheme to drive her away.

“She is Liu Yinyin’s cousin, and it is a project that Mo Donglin personally recommended. I need to find a reason to reject them.”

They exchanged glances. She obviously sensed that Mo Beichen was angry just now. Was it just an act?

Xu Wei knocked on the door before he came in, “President Mo, it’s time for the meeting.”

Xia Weilan immediately said, “I’ll get back to my work.”

After Xia Weilan left, Xu Wei immediately asked, “President Mo, did you plan that with the young madam beforehand? It’s impressive how you managed to get rid of a ticking time bomb from the company so quickly.”

Mo Beichen’s face sank, “No.”

No matter what, Mo Beichen would never rely on Xia Weilan to accomplish anything.

Xia Weilan received a call on the phone from her desk the moment she returned to her office. The caller ID showed that it was from Xia Corps. She stared at the phone in a daze momentarily and it took her a while before she reached out her hand to pick up the phone with an ice-cold expression, “Hello?”

“Wei Lan, it’s me, 2nd Master Xia. It’s been very busy in the office and I would like to ask you to return to the office and fill in the position as the manager of the Project Department. Will you come back and help me?”

“I can go back to help you, provided that you return the shares from grandpa to me. Otherwise, there’s no room for negotiation between us.” Xua Weilan said indifferently and hung up the phone before waiting for his reply.

She took a deep breath. Before she could calm down, her mobile phone rang again. She answered the call subconsciously with an impolite tone, “I said I’m not going back!”

“Weilan, why are you in such a bad mood?” A gentle voice of a man was heard on the other end of the line.

Xia Weilan became even angrier, “Ouyang Mingqi, what do you want from me?!”

“Oh? So, I can’t call you without a reason? I miss you.” Ouyang Mingqi pretended to be affectionate.

“If you have nothing important, I’ll hang up now!” Xia Weilan said relentlessly.

“Hold on.” Ouyang Mingqi immediately said as if he was making a request, “I couldn’t figure out if I had offended Mo Beichen in such a way that he suddenly targeted the Ouyang Corps. I’m in a difficult situation now. Weilan, can we meet up? Can you help me?”

“You’re looking for the wrong person. Your business has nothing to do with me!” Xia Weilan immediately rejected him.

“Weilan, you have no idea how bad the situation is. If this goes on, my company is about to go bankrupt. Weilan, can you do me a favor? We and Mo Corps are bidding for the same project. Can you help me to…”

“Enough! I’m very busy now. I have no time to entertain you.” Xia Weilan burst into fury and hung up immediately.

Xia Weilan frowned and a cold aura enveloped her body.

Ouyang Mingqi is actually persuading her to be a spy like her previous life.

She really had enough of him!

She will not be as stupid as she was in her previous life.

Meanwhile, In the conference room, Mo Beichen’s appearance gathered a lot of attention from the others.

Mo Beichen has always been punctual, and it is very unlike his style to be fifteen minutes late.

Liu Yinyin and Mo Donglin came in afterward weaning a weird expression. They were looking hostile the moment they stepped foot into the conference room.

“Beichen, you should keep a good eye on your wife. How dare she offend Miss Dong on her first day working here?” Liu Yinyin immediately complained to Mo Beichen.

The others had no idea what happened just now and they stared at Mo Beichen in surprise.

“Oh, who is the troublemaker here? I think it’s better to let the Project Manager explain about that.”

Upon hearing this, the Project Manager said shrewdly, “Miss Dong not only gave Miss Xia a hard time, but she also claimed that Miss Xia is a witch. President Mo couldn’t put up with it and drove Miss Dong, who had been talking nonsense, out of the office. Miss Dong threatened that she had no intention of talking about the deal but only wanted to have a meal with the president. She even said this meeting is nothing compared to the project discussion with the Dong family and requested President Mo to postpone the meeting.”
