Emerging from his office, Ye Chenhan, travel-worn, arrived at Ye Shaoting's office.
"Big Brother!" he pushed the door open without announcement.
Employees were reporting work to Ye Shaoting. Ye Chenhan made everyone turn to look at him.
Releasing the doorknob, Ye Chenhan felt Ye Shaoting's stern gaze. He waved, indicating for them to quickly sit on the sofa. "Continue, just pretend I'm not here."
With a living person sitting there, how could they simply ignore him?
The reporting employees stammered, fumbling through two out of every three sentences.
"You all can leave now," Ye Shaoting said.
Their inability to articulate clearly was too unbearable to listen to.
The employees gathered their things and left the office.
Realizing his hasty entrance had been a mistake, Ye Chenhan timidly glanced at Ye Shaoting's expression.
With Ye Qianzhi rarely home, Ye Shaoting, as the eldest brother, had long since taken on a fatherly role. If he said one thing, they dared not say two.
Ye Shaoting looked up and swept his gaze over him. "Speak, what's the matter that you rushed in here so agitated?"
"Big Brother knows me best," Ye Chenhan fawned, moving closer to him.
He had already written the reason all over his face; how could he not understand?
Seeing Ye Shaoting give him an opening, Ye Chenhan dared not miss it. "Did Big Brother not hear anything upon arriving at the company today?"
Ye Yubin's matter was a significant issue for the Ye family. His sudden departure abroad, the employees within the company couldn't help but gossip.
Observing his deep concern for Ye Ziyu, Ye Shaoting said, "If you hadn't barged in so rashly, my assistant would have already issued the relevant requirements."
Was that what had just happened?
Ye Chenhan remorsefully slapped his forehead, his expression a picture of sheepishness. "I won't do it again. I'll be calm before acting from now on."
"Alright, stop with the sweet talk to appease me. You've had your fun around the company these past few days, and it's time you started helping to handle company affairs."
With Ye Yubin and Ye Jiaxu gone, Ye Shaoting had to personally attend to many matters. He had other responsibilities, and one body wasn't enough.
Upon hearing he had to handle company affairs, Ye Chenhan's scalp tingled. He wasn't the type of person to sit in an office processing documents. Asking him to help share the company's workload was akin to asking for his life.
Leaning his upper body against the desk, Ye Chenhan smiled at Ye Shaoting. "Big Brother, if you ask me for help, I'll only make things more difficult. The company also has Ziyu; you can hand the matters over to her. She's more suitable as your assistant than I am."
Ye Shaoting was, of course, aware of Ye Ziyu's capabilities. However, due to her status and her relationship with Di Mingjue, he couldn't entrust all company matters to her.
Finding an excuse, Ye Shaoting coerced Ye Chenhan into compliance. "Ziyu currently has the Gu Corporation project in her hands and can't spare time for other matters. Stop racking your brain to refuse. Or would you prefer Dad to know you've done nothing at the company?"
That wouldn't do!
If Ye Qianzhi found out, he would undoubtedly be the next to be sent abroad. If he left the city, the band would be completely disbanded.
Touching upon the band, Ye Chenhan immediately conceded.
Ye Shaoting, knowing his capabilities, assigned him some minor tasks.
Even with this, Ye Chenhan had to reduce his time with the band. However, there were disadvantages as well as advantages. The band had a performance next month. If he performed well in front of Ye Qianzhi during this period, he could use company matters as an excuse to attend the band's performance next month.
Holding the files, Ye Chenhan's mood felt like a rollercoaster, swinging between nervousness and happiness.
"Fourth Young Master!"
A voice called out, and the man hurried past him into the office behind.
"Running so fast, nearly got run over," Ye Chenhan muttered, then returned to his office with the files.
Inside the office.
The person who had burst in like the wind was Ye Shaoting's assistant. He was in a hurry to inform Ye Shaoting that the President of Gu Corporation had arrived.
