Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Brother Gets Angry

Ye Group, headquarters building.

‘Ding—’

After the quarterly sales strategy meeting had ended, Ye Shaowen flipped through documents as he walked out of the elevator, hearing a buzzing of women’s voices discussing something nearby.

In the break area, Rena, Candy, and the intern Xiao Qian were gathered around a mobile phone, laughing and discussing animatedly.

“The Scream Night this year was too thrilling, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, you really missed out by not watching the live broadcast last night. The award ceremony was spectacular, especially when Xiangfei Video actually dared to give out the Rotten Sour Plum Award to Ye Xian. Aren’t they afraid of retaliation from her powerful backers? That’s audacity!”

“Didn’t you know? The owner of Xiangfei Video has changed. It’s now under Bo’s Group, the top-ranking tycoon in Capital City listed on Forbes. Who would fear her meager backer now?”

“True, Ye Xian, being such a drama queen, was bound to be dealt with sooner or later, and now it has happened, hasn’t it?”

Ye Shaowen had initially no interest in their conversation, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard Ye Xian’s name.

He turned and walked towards the secretary’s desk, just in time to see a scene playing on Rena’s phone—

The host of Scream Night announced the winner of the Rotten Sour Plum Award. The spotlight instantly fell on Ye Xian, casting a pale, bloodless light on her face surrounded by darkness, with jeers and denigration sounding like sharp needles not only piercing her but also stabbing into his heart.

Ye Shaowen’s hand holding the documents trembled.

He had been unaware of what happened last night, unaware of how lost and frightened his younger sister must have felt, exposed to such public ridicule and accusations.

He didn’t dare think about it because just watching the footage was enough to make his eyes red.

“Hahaha, Xiao Qian, you’re right; the winner really is Ye Xian!”

“Who else could it be but him, with a reputation and acting skills as mired as his, stirring trouble in the industry? He absolutely deserved this award!”

“You guys, look! He actually went up to accept the award! Isn’t he ashamed? If it were me, I’d have covered my face and run off laughing…”

‘Smack!’@@novelbin@@

Engrossed in their laughter, the three women were suddenly startled by a loud noise.

The mobile phone was knocked off the work table, crashing onto the marble floor and shattering the screen everywhere.

The three were immediately stunned, their laughter abruptly stopping as they turned to see Ye Shaowen’s dark and forbidding face and hurriedly stood up.

“President Ye!”

“President Ye.”

President Ye… What’s wrong? Why does he look so upset? Could it be they were too noisy? But it’s break time, and they were in the break area?

“What are you doing?”

Despite trying to control it, the extreme anger in Ye Shaowen’s voice was evident.

“President Ye, we…”

“Get out! Pack up your things and get out!”

Ye Shaowen finally lost control, slammed the folder in his hand, and his furious roar echoed through the entire sixty-sixth floor.

The CEO’s assistant, Kami, panicked and ran out of the office, only to see President Ye in a furious rage, with Rena and the others standing trembling by the worktable, and the timid Candy starting to wipe her tears.

Ye Shaowen was famously kind, dignified and courteous as a wealthy gentleman, and as the CEO of Ye’s, empathetic and generous towards the staff, especially towards female employees. As long as they did not commit any egregious errors, he would generally turn a blind eye, showing particular compassion and care.
