Chapter 9: Compliance
Chu Xia looked at Ye Yun in surprise, she didn't expect him to do this, it was too ruthless, too desperate.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him, trembling.
"What are you doing? A CEO is managing his company, don't you understand?" Ye Yun said solemnly.
"I'm going to resign, why are you punishing others, and what does it have to do with them?" asked Hatsu with an angry look.
Ye Yun looked at her contemptuously, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, I have the final say." β
"You are oppressive and unreasonable. She said angrily.
In contrast to her excitement, he was still very calm, "You finally got to the point, right." Only with power can people be oppressed, only with power can they be unreasonable, and only with power can they let whoever they want to go. β
She looked at him, speechless. There was anger in his eyes.
"Not convinced, are you?" he asked.
"Why did you become like this?" asked Hatsu Summer, rescuing her anger and feeling a little sad.
"I'm doing this excessively, very selfishly, very impersonal, don't I? What do you think of you compared to you taking away my painting and almost ruining the future of my life?"
She was no longer angry, nor sad, but looked at him bitterly, speechless.
Seeing that she didn't speak, he continued: "You have a lot of credit for why I became like this. He sneered as he spoke, "It was you who told me that trust is illusory, art is illusory, and the communication between people and people's souls is also illusory. Only interests are real, tangible, and visible. Only in the relationship of interests will you not be deceived and will not be harmed. That's what got me to where I am today. It's just that now I find that you have taught me, but you have not taught yourself. You're still so naΓ―ve, ridiculously naΓ―ve. β
Her face turned pale and her heart was desolate in the midst of his lectures and ridicule.
"You seem to care a lot about why I gave up painting, the last time I told you I was in it for money. In fact, it is not only money, but also the benefits that money brings, power, status, sense of achievement, the gaze of being respected, and of course, the submission of women. When he said this, he was not without pride. Ye Yun is not a superficial show-off, he wants to teach this lesson to Chu Xia more thoroughly.
He pulled her to the side of the glass wall, outside was the bustling cityscape, and he said in his ear: "From here, you can see half of the city, blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, buildings, the perspective is perfect, but I will not pick up the brush again, paint it, I just stand here and look at it, because as long as I want, I can look at it at any time, it is here, it will always belong to me." I could sit here and watch the sunset from sunrise. Isn't that more interesting than drawing?"
He was behind her, two hands on her arm, and she could feel his fiery heat. As he spoke, his breath blew down her ears and landed on her neck.
What he just did and what he said did indeed make her really feel the power of money for the first time, especially the power to change a person. He has really changed, and he can't find the slightest shadow of the simple, sunny, and dream-chasing Ye Yun before.
Unlike what she felt, he noticed that her arms were cold, and she was even shivering. She is wearing a dark blue white flower dress today, her hair is tied up casually, revealing a swan-like neck, beautiful as an oil painting.
She broke free of his palm, took two steps away, turned her head, and looked at him coldly, "Thank you for this waking proverb, but if you don't paint, you won't paint, you will not paint for money, this has nothing to do with me, I am a small person, why should you embarrass a small person, why do you refuse to let me go?"
Yes, why didn't you let her go, Ye Yun was also asking herself. Could it be that he likes it? Or, in order to regain the suppressed heart six years ago? No, no, Ye Yun denied himself in his heart. Women are heartless, don't be deceived by their weak appearance again. As for why he didn't let her go, there was an answer the moment they met again, it was because she owed him, six years ago, she lied to him and took away his things, and now he wants to collect debts and punish her, and he can't just let her go.
I thought so in my heart, but I said, "I won't let you go? Who do you think you are? Have I begged you to stay? Don't forget, you owe me, don't always look like I owe you." β
Early summer was stopped by him. Yes, in his eyes, she owes him.
He looked at her like an ignorant child, she didn't speak, he shook his head at her, and said in a disappointed tone: "You are the same as before, you act impulsively, do not think about the consequences, only think about yourself, and do not think about others. β
He said she didn't think about anyone else.
As she was talking, Zhou Ziting had already knocked on the door and came in, holding the three documents he said.
The document was already on the table, and Ye Yun took one last look at Chu Xia, as long as she was willing to beg him now, he could not sign it.
Seeing her standing still, he walked over, sat down, picked up a pen and wrote.
In the early summer, when I saw the big word "dismissal" on the file name, I knew that it was Li Xueyang's dismissal notice, a senior design director, who was directly dismissed by an industry-leading company, which was fatal to his career, his reputation, and the impact. Although this also has a bad impact on Lingzhi, of course Ye Yun can not care, he has a lot of such companies, he can afford to lose money, and he can afford to play.
Early summer pounced, snatched the documents, and tore them to shreds.
Her reaction was expected by Ye Yun, and he said with an indifferent face: "I can reprint it if you tear it." β
"I'm not leaving, don't sign it. Chu Xia said dejectedly, both resigned to fate and unwilling.
However, the goal was finally achieved, and Ye Yun felt a hint of pride in his heart.
He picked up the resignation report of the early summer and tore it up, but signed the document on which the design department withheld the bonus.
Chu Xia looked at her puzzled, she was no longer gone, why did she deduct the bonus of the entire department?
Of course, Ye Yun knew what she was thinking, "If you don't hand in the first draft on time, your department has not completed the task, which is considered a punishment." You want to compensate, from now on, design your work well, and get a satisfactory result in the design competition, and I can make up the prize money again. β
Chu Xia bit her lip and thought, count you ruthlessly.
Ye Yun took the signed document and said to Zhou Ziting: "Secretary Zhou, inform Mr. Wu of the meaning of this document, and then convey it,"
"Yes, Mr. Ye. Zhou Ziting replied, looking at the early summer.
Ye Yun turned to Chu Xia and said, "You have three hours, and I will see the first draft in three hours." β
Zhou Ziting and Chu Xia went out together.
As soon as I turned around, tears flowed from early summer. Ye Yun, you deceive people too much! She gave him her only chance to realize her dream, he gave up his dream for money and power, and now, six years later, he uses his money and power to trap her.
When I went out in early summer, I didn't care that Zhou Ziting was with me, I just tried my best to move forward, but I didn't expect that the more I walked, the more I felt top-heavy, Ye Yun's office air conditioning was too strong, plus I didn't eat breakfast in the morning, plus I didn't sleep well for several nights, and the psychological pressure that Ye Yun gave her was too great, and then, she fell outside Ye Yun's office like this.
Ye Yun let out a long breath, it really took a lot of effort to keep her. His hand tapped comfortably on the tabletop.
The phone rang, and he picked it up.
"Mr. Ye, it has been found out, her original name is Lin Yi, she is a student of Yulu Academy of Fine Arts, but she has not graduated......"
Sure enough, Ye Yun saw the remote control of the air conditioner in his hand, 18 degrees Celsius, as if something was wrong? She was afraid of the cold, and he suddenly realized. No wonder her arms were so cold just now.
He looked in the direction she had left, just in time to see her fall. Running over like a gust of wind, he picked her up.
