Wen Xuxu, who had walked out with him, was in a state of shock. Was this fellow insane again?
Why did he ask all the servants to leave all of a sudden?
Third Young Master’s words were like an imperial edict. Once he had spoken, no one dared to challenge but merely nodded their heads in concert and answered with a ‘yes’ even though they were bewildered by their sudden laid off.
When everyone had left, perplexed to her wits, Xuxu walked over to Yan Rusheng and asked, “Why did you give them the pink slip all of a sudden?”
Yan Rusheng looked at him and knitted his eyebrows. “Didn’t you say before that there were too many servants in this house?”
Xuxu was dumbfounded.
But she didn’t say that they should be laid off.
Though, somehow she knew for sure that this wasn’t the reason for laying off the servants… There must be more to this than meets the eye.
Yan Rusheng added, “Aunt Zhang is getting on in years. Moving forward, you’ll need to assist her with the household chores.”
Was he planning not to hire any more servants?
Aunt Zhang usually only took charge of cooking of meals, and the rest of the chores were handled by the servants. So does he mean that she had to manage all the household chores in the future?
So, this meant that she had to go to the office in the day and returned home at night to be the housekeeper and servant?
Was this his purpose for sacking all the servants? To come up with some ways to torture her?
As Xuxu tried to analyze the situation according to her own logic, her voice choked with emotions.
“Yan Rusheng, I want to rip open your heart to take a look.”
To see what was on his mind and what exactly wanted.
In the presence of outsiders, he was burning with passion for her. But when it’s just them, he was cold and heartless.
He had done so many heartwarming things for her behind her back, and just when her passion was set aflame, he always had to pour cold water on her.
She found him unpredictable and difficult to understand.
She didn’t have the courage to advance further, yet couldn’t bear to retreat either.
Xuxu averted her cold stare from Yan Rusheng’s face, turned around and headed for the second floor.
Actually, handling household chores is nothing too difficult for her.
If she sees it in a new light, it simply meant that she was just doing the household chores just like what the rest of the women are doing in their families. If they can handle it, why can’t she?
“Wen Xuxu, so it turns out that we have the same thinking.”
Yan Rusheng’s cold voice sounded in the background.
So, it turned out that both of them wanted to take a peek at each other’s heart.
After hearing what he said, Xuxu’s expression merely froze for a moment and continued heading for the second floor.
…
It was already the year-end and everyone in the office were busier than usual.
Xuxu had just sat down on her seat when her assistant came over with a huge pile of work for her.
“Leave it here. I’ll go to my meeting first.”
She put down her bag and instructed her assistant before hurrying to the conference room with the meeting documents in hand.
It was a small scale meeting with the PR and other related departments, discussing the Christmas program.
All the related department heads were already waiting in the conference room. When they saw Xuxu entering, they greeted her one after another.
“Sister Xuxu.”
Wen Xuxu nodded at them and sat down. The PR Department Person-in-Charge placed a document in front of her. “Sister, this is the workflow and progress for the past few days.”
Xuxu took it and glanced through while she spoke, “Let’s cut the long story short.”
A huge pile of work was waiting for her to handle.
Xuxu looked at the document, and her face turned dark. She turned to look at the person from the PR department who handed over the document and frowned. “Why wasn’t the outdoor shoot carried out yesterday?”
