Chapter 89 Come Back for Revenge?
It wasn't Chen Xuan's fault. Normally, Chen Xuan wore clothes from street stalls or work uniforms, and he never had a chance to dress so elegantly.
"Yunxi? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Xuan asked.
Cough, cough...
Su Yunxi's face flushed. "It's nothing."
"Do you also think this outfit looks strange on me?" Chen Xuan tugged at his collar, looking uncomfortable.
Su Yunxi had intended to say it looked good, but the words caught in her throat. She glanced at Chen Xuan and nodded. "It does look a bit strange, and a bit ill-fitting."
Of course, Chen Xuan's clothes weren't ill-fitting. Su Yunxi was worried that Chen Xuan was too handsome and would attract too much attention, especially now that he held a high position.
Even the confident Su Yunxi felt a sense of crisis.
Chen Xuan was unaware of Su Yunxi's thoughts and asked her to change him into a cheaper suit.
So, Su Yunxi sent someone to find a more ordinary suit for Chen Xuan. After he changed, although he was still quite handsome, the level of attractiveness had decreased considerably compared to before.
At this moment, Su Yunxi received a call and said to Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, the shareholder meeting will begin soon. The assistant will come to call you. I need to go take care of some things."
"Yunxi, you go ahead and attend to your business," Chen Xuan nodded.
After Su Yunxi left, Chen Xuan leaned back in his chair, surveying the clean and tidy office. He felt a little unaccustomed to it, considering that not long ago, he was standing guard at the factory gate, working twelve hours a day and earning just over three thousand a month.
About ten minutes later, Assistant Wang Xue knocked and entered, respectfully saying to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, the shareholder meeting is about to begin."
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stood up abruptly. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze inadvertently swept over Assistant Wang Xue, and his brows immediately furrowed.
He saw that Wang Xue's fair and delicate face had a red slap mark on it. Although she was trying to hide it by lowering her head, the palm print was large and difficult to conceal.
"Assistant Wang, raise your head!"
Chen Xuan stopped and ordered.
Wang Xue trembled all over and lowered her head even more forcefully, burying her face in her high chest, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, the shareholder meeting is about to start."
Her voice carried a hint of sobs and trembling.
"Raise your head. If you don't raise your head, you don't need to be my assistant anymore," Chen Xuan said again, his voice somewhat stern.
Only then did Wang Xue slowly raise her head.
Indeed, there was a large slap mark on Wang Xue's face. The slap had been delivered with considerable force, and her beautiful face was already swollen.
"Tell me who hit you and why?" Chen Xuan asked.
"No, no one. I accidentally fell and bumped into something," Wang Xue shook her head vigorously, a hint of panic in her expression.
"You can get hit like this from falling? Your falling skills are quite something," Chen Xuan said coldly.
Wang Xue knew she couldn't lie and pleaded, "Vice President Chen, you really can't know about this. I beg you, it's better if you don't find out."
"Don't worry. If you tell me the truth, I'll handle it for you," Chen Xuan asked in a deep voice.
Under Chen Xuan's persistent questioning, Wang Xue reluctantly said, "It was Vice President Xu Yang."
"Why did he hit you?" Chen Xuan's brows rose. He didn't seem to know anyone by that name.
There were three vice presidents at Yishen Pharmaceuticals, and Chen Xuan was just one of them. However, Chen Xuan didn't expect someone at the vice president level to casually hit someone.
Wang Xue whispered, "It was about canceling Xu Kun's endorsement. Xu Kun becoming the image endorser for Yishen was originally a small matter, and Vice President Xu didn't usually manage it. But today, when he found out I canceled the contract, he flew into a rage."
Chen Xuan sneered. "Heh, this isn't just hitting you; it's clearly slapping me in the face. I'll go ask what's going on."
Wang Xue quickly stopped Chen Xuan and pleaded, "Vice President Chen, I know you're doing this for my own good. Please, you absolutely cannot go, or it will be over!"
Chen Xuan paused and looked at Wang Xue. "Do you know something?"
Wang Xue explained, "Vice President Xu is backed by the Yu family. Before you came to the company, I heard that the Yu family, in order to retaliate against you, had already joined forces with several shareholders. They are planning to dismiss you from your vice president position at the shareholder meeting. Vice President Xu is deliberately provoking you, trying to find a loophole to use as a reason to dismiss you."
Chen Xuan sneered again. "You still dare to provoke me? Take me to Xu Yang!"
Wang Xue sighed. "Vice President Chen, I know your relationship with Director Su is unusual, but some things are beyond even Director Su's control for the sake of the bigger picture. Director Su won't be able to protect you then."
"I used to be Director Su's assistant and received her favors. I would never lie to you. I've taken this slap, and that's that. Please don't cause trouble for Director Su."
Though her words were subtle, it was clear Wang Xue also saw Chen Xuan as a kept man.
Chen Xuan was unfazed and declared decisively, "My backing is myself. Just take me there."
This undeniable voice made Wang Xue tremble. She instinctively followed Chen Xuan's command.
But she quickly came to her senses. She glanced at Chen Xuan with a hint of annoyance. He was clearly a kept man, so why insist on being so strong?
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
A middle-aged man in a black suit and black-rimmed glasses barged in as if no one else was there. When his gaze landed on Chen Xuan, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Upon seeing the man in the suit, Wang Xue trembled and whispered, "Vice President Chen, this is Vice President Xu Yang."
Chen Xuan sized up the man and nodded faintly.
Xu Yang put on a false smile. "This must be Vice President Chen Xuan. I was busy last time and couldn't attend the banquet. It's good that I can get acquainted now."
Chen Xuan said coldly, "Did you not knock before entering my office?"
Wang Xue was a little stunned. She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to speak like that, as they were of the same rank.
"Hmm?"
Xu Yang was taken aback, wondering if he had heard correctly.
Chen Xuan pointed to the door and said sternly, "Are you deaf or don't you have hands? Get out, knock again, or get lost!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang's expression immediately darkened, and he exploded in anger. "Chen Xuan, aren't you just a kept man? How dare you be so arrogant? I'm giving you face by coming into your office, and you dare to speak to me like that?! You hit the young master of the Yu family and the Yu family's number two figure. The Yu family won't let you off!"
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuan raised his leg and kicked Xu Yang directly in the stomach.
Xu Yang was sent flying as if he had been hit by a truck, crashing heavily onto the floor. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face was filled with shock.
Wang Xue's mouth slowly fell open, staring at the scene in a daze. Her expression was even more remarkable than before.
She could never have imagined that Chen Xuan would actually dare to beat up Xu Yang!
Xu Yang clutched his aching internal organs and cursed at Chen Xuan, "I am a vice president, and you dare to hit me? Believe it or not, I'll make sure you, this kept man, can't even get by!"
Chen Xuan walked towards Xu Yang expressionlessly.
"What... what do you want to do?" Xu Yang looked at Chen Xuan's face, a hint of fear rising in his heart, stammering.
He knew Chen Xuan was capable of fighting, but he hadn't expected Chen Xuan to actually dare to assault someone within Yishen Pharmaceuticals. He regretted not bringing his bodyguards.
Chen Xuan walked up to him and looked down at Xu Yang condescendingly, saying coldly, "I remember you just slapped my assistant?"
Xu Yang said stubbornly, "Do you want to hit me back?"
Chen Xuan said decisively, "You're very smart, but you've guessed wrong. I've always been... clear about grievances and reciprocated them twice over!"
