93: Chapter 093: The Second Young Master of the Chen Family 93: Chapter 093: The Second Young Master of the Chen Family “Do I look like I’m joking around?” Mu Bingtong’s eyes fluctuated for a mont, but she quickly concealed it.
“Bingtong, can you truly bear to do this?” What made Mu Bingtong a mix of laughter and tears was that Chu Ge actually put on a teary-eyed look, holding the dismissal letter while staring at her unblinkingly and blinking repeatedly.
Seeing Chu Ge’s pitiful act, Mu Bingtong couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “Alright, stop acting pitiful, hurry up and go to the finance departnt to settle your wages.”
“I’ve been absent from work for over ten days, can I still get a salary?” Chu Ge muttered.
“Don’t worry.” Mu Bingtong handed over a pay slip: “I’ve already inford the finance departnt, your salary for this month is doubled!”
“Right.” After handing over the pay slip, Mu Bingtong seed to hesitate for a mont, then cautiously asked: “You’ve been in Shanghai for quite so ti now, right?
Why not go back to your hotown for a visit?
I’ll pay for your trip, consider it as going ho to see your family.”
Mu Bingtong managed to conceal the expression on her face very well, however, upon hearing this, Chu Ge was taken aback for a mont, looking at her he murmured: “Bingtong, what are you afraid of?”
“Ah?” A flash of panic crossed Mu Bingtong’s face, she quickly picked up the cup on the desk, and used drinking tea as a cover: “I…
I’m not afraid of anything, what could I be afraid of?”
However, the fleeting expression did not escape Chu Ge’s eyes, he stepped forward and directly approached Mu Bingtong, his pupils only less than a foot away from her eyes: “I misspoke, I should have asked…
are you worried about ?”
“How…
how could that be!” This ti, Mu Bingtong’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush, she lowered her eyes and couldn’t bring herself to look at Chu Ge, but still stubbornly said: “Don’t flatter yourself, it’s just…
just because the company doesn’t need you anymore, so…”
“Let guess.” Chu Ge simply ignored Mu Bingtong’s defense, stepped back and then started pacing in the office: “The incident at the last banquet made Chen Jun hold a grudge against , and on top of that, the two of us pretended to be married, which angered Chen Jun even more, so…
you’re worried that he will retaliate against , so you want to leave Shanghai for a while to hide?”
“You….”
Mu Bingtong’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Chu Ge, she never expected that just because of her own expressions and a single comnt, he could analyze so much!
Watching Chu Ge sit back down on the sofa, leisurely looking at her, Mu Bingtong finally sighed, leaning against the office desk and said: “Alright, since you’ve already guessed it, then I won’t beat around the bush.
Do you know who Chen Jun is?”
“Chen Jun?” A playful smirk crossed Chu Ge’s eyes, although his tone carried a bit of naivety: “I heard your stepmother…
calling him Mr.
Chen before?
He must be a young master from a wealthy family, right?”
Disgust flickered in Mu Bingtong’s eyes: “Hmph, she doesn’t even deserve to be called a stepmother!
Just call her by her na.”
After saying this, she cald her emotions and sighed: “Not just a young master from a wealthy family, but from a family clan!
One of the Four Great Families in Shanghai, the Chen Family, have you heard of it?”
“The Chen Family?” Chu Ge murmured, then shook his head and said: “I haven’t heard of it.”
He spoke the truth; among Shanghai’s upper class, he had only ever interacted with a few Ouyangs and Huo Tianqian.
He has heard Mr.
Ouyang occasionally ntion the other three major families, but as for the so-called “four minor families,” he truly didn’t know much about them.
However, upon hearing this, Mu Bingtong almost spat out her tea.
She looked at Chu Ge with an odd expression, and after a long while, shook her head with a sigh, explaining with so helplessness, “The ultimate power in Shanghai naturally lies with the Four Great Families: the Ouyang Family, the Sima Family, the Xiahou Family, the Duan Family.
Beneath these four are the four minor families: the Chen Family, the Zhao Family, the Li Family, and the Shen Family.
Chen Jun is the second young master of the Chen Family.
Do you understand now?”
“So that’s how it is!” Chu Ge nodded and said, “Just a second young master, eh?”
“You…” Seeing Chu Ge’s fearless expression, Mu Bingtong couldn’t help becoming urgently frustrated: “Do you not realize, no matter what, he’s still a young master of the Chen Family.
To ordinary people, he’s forever out of reach!
The reason he hasn’t touched you recently is entirely because he’s worried about Mr.
Ouyang’s side, but don’t forget, your relationship with Mr.
Ouyang is just a nodding acquaintance; he can’t protect you for a lifeti!”
What Mu Bingtong said was completely from the heart.
As a woman who had built a business empire on her own, she naturally understood the coldness of human relationships in this era all too well.
Mr.
Ouyang might have helped that day simply because he happened to attend the banquet and took casual action.
Under normal circumstances, even if one were to beg, Mr.
Ouyang might not spare them a second glance.
This ti Chu Ge finally fell silent.
Just as Mu Bingtong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was ready to listen to her and leave, Chu Ge suddenly lifted his head, looking straight at her: “If I leave, what will happen to you?”
“You don’t need to say more about Chen Jun’s intentions, right?
And Zhang Yanxia is clearly up to no good.
What will you do when they set their sights on you the mont I leave?”
Mu Bingtong froze, suddenly feeling an inexplicable warmth rise in her chest; her cheeks even felt hot enough to burn.
“I…
Anyway, you don’t need to worry about .
I have my ans.
You should leave for a while to avoid trouble,” she said, getting ready to move behind the desk.
But before she could take a step, she suddenly felt a gust of warm air hit her face.
Chu Ge had already positioned himself in front of her, his hands wrapping around Mu Bingtong’s slender waist, resting on the desk behind her.
“Don’t lie to .
What could you possibly do?” Their faces were only about a foot apart, and Mu Bingtong could clearly feel the hot breath from Chu Ge’s mouth.
For a mont, her pretty face turned bright red: “I…
I naturally have my ways.
You just take care of yourself.”
Perhaps because of the overwhelming nervousness, the normally calm and rational Ice Beauty stuttered.
If this scene got out, probably a large portion of Shanghai’s n would be heartbroken!
“Don’t worry,” Chu Ge suddenly spoke in a relaxed tone, smiling at the exquisite face close at hand: “I’ll handle Chen Jun.
As for this resignation letter…”
He tore the resignation letter in half and threw it into a nearby trash can.
“How can you still not understand!” Mu Bingtong’s brows were tightly knit in frustration and helplessness as she looked at Chu Ge: “Chen Jun is no ordinary person!
And your relationship with Mr.
Ouyang is definitely not as close as you think…”
However, just as Mu Bingtong was halfway through her words, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Xie Nanyong walked in.
“President Mu, I was just…”
