Sweet Beauty

Liang Zixuan immediately walked out of the office. Xiang Zedong snorted while watching her figure leaving. "Looking for Zhu Sheng? Heh ... Does she know that he didn't come to the company today? Serve her right."

Liang Zixuan rushed to Zhu Sheng's office, but Shi Tianjian stopped her. "Zixuan, where are you going?"

She sniffed. "Sister Tianjian, I want to ask for a leave from Director Zhu. My grandmother was hospitalized. I need to go see her."

Shi Tianjian looked at her weirdly. "You can ask Xiang Zedong. Why are you looking for Director Zhu?"

Liang Zixuan's hand was clenched into a fist as she resisted the urge to curse. "I offended Manager Xiang because of Xie Yin. I just asked permission from him, but he disagreed and told me to leave."

How big was the matter for Xiang Zedong to denied Liang Zixuan's leave?

Shi Tianjian had enough with this pair of shameless cousins. She shook her head, "But Director Zhu didn't come to the company today. He went on a business trip to M City. He should be on the plane right now, so his phone can't be reached." 

Liang Zixuan frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "What would happen if I leave for a day with no one's permission?"

Shi Tianjian immediately jumped in fear. "You haven't even passed your probationary period yet. You will be fired before you can return to work."

Liang Zixuan was also really anxious. She forgot what Han Yuanjun had said to her before; there was no probationary period for her once she entered Han Group Media.

She really had no choice now. She looked at Shi Tianjian with red eyes and a frown. She was only twenty years old, and the entire Han Group Media was filled with people who were older than her.

Shi Tianjian was only a few years older than Liang Zixuan. Seeing Liang Zixuan looking at her like that, her heart softened.

Liang Zixuan nodded gratefully. "Alright, thank you, Sister Tianjian."

Su Yong happened to come and hand over the document to Shi Tianjian. Shi Tianjian said to her, "Su Yong, just put those documents on my desk. I have some other work that needs to be finished first."

Su Yong had heard Shi Tianjian and Liang Zixuan's conversation. She put the documents down and went back upstairs.

She went to the secretary's office and whispered to the other secretary, "Liang Zixuan seems to have offended Xiang Zedong. Something happened to her grandmother just now, and she went to ask for leave from him. Xiang Zedong immediately denied her request and forced her to leave the company if she still wanted to leave."

When Yu Lian heard this, her mood improved. She pushed a mountain of documents aside and stretched out her hands gloatingly. "With Liang Zixuan's lowly appearance, with whom can she get along with? On the second day of her work, she has already offended so many people. Without me having to do anything, she will get out of Han Group Media on her own!"

Yao Xiu, who was standing outside the door, overheard their conversation and immediately rushed to the President's office.

Han Yuanjun's face immediately darkened when he heard Yao Xiu's words.

"What is Xiang Zedong's number?"

Yao Xiu immediately understood what Han Yuanjun wanted to do. He used Han Yuanjun's office phone and dialed Xiang Zedong's number.

The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up.

Without waiting for Xiang Zedong to speak, Han Yuanjun went straight to the point. "I'm Han Yuanjun. I heard that Liang Zixuan had just applied for leave, and you refused to let her go? Not only did you deny her leave, but you also forced her to quit the job?"

Across the phone, Xiang Zedong almost fell from his chair. He glanced at Shi Tianjian, who was still standing in front of him, then turned his face to the side with his hand holding the phone and said fawningly, "It's nothing. Hehe, President Han, you just misunderstood me."

Han Yuanjun scoffed, "It's better if it's just a misunderstanding. Qin Yu's album is in rush. If Liang Zixuan leaves the company at this time and the album is on hold, you all can stop working here!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiang Zedong quickly promised. "President Han, don't worry. I'll help clear Liang Zixuan's schedule. If there's a job for her, I'll do it instead. I promise to finish the album within the allotted time."

After hanging up, Xiang Zedong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with a hand. His heart was full of lingering fear.

Shi Tianjian, who hadn't left the office, scoffed. "Manager Xiang, what about Liang Zixuan's leave for absence?"

'Liang Zixuan is such a bitch!' Xiang Zedong cursed in his heart. "Just give her a day off. Tell her to come to the company tomorrow. In the future, if she has anything to say, just let her talk it out with me."

'Tch. She's already done that, but you denied her request. If only you approve her request from the beginning, you won't be scolded by Han Yuanjun.' Shi Tianjian sneered.

She hurried out to find Liang Zixuan. "Zixuan, Manager Xiang agreed to let you take a day off today."

Liang Zixuan quickly thanked her. "Sister Tianjian, thank you. Thank you very much."

Shi Tianjian smiled. "Don't thank me. My words didn't hold the weight. Xiang Zedong only agreed after receiving a call from the President."

Han Yuanjun?

How did he know about this?

Luo Yanyun was still in the hospital, so Liang Zixuan didn't have time to think about it. "Sister Tianjian, can you give me a leave of absence slip?"

Shi Tianjian took out an absence leave slip, placed it on the table, and then handed Liang Zixuan a pen. "Just sign your name. I'll fill out the rest for you."

"Alright! Thank you so much, Sister Tianjian." Liang Zixuan was really grateful for her help. After thanking her, she went back to her desk to grab her bag and hurriedly ran to the elevator.

While she was waiting for the elevator, she received a call from Han Yuanjun.

"Come to the parking lot."

Liang Zixuan was shocked for a moment before she hung up the phone after saying "Okay" in a confused state.

Thinking about what Han Yuanjun had said last night and this morning, she felt sad and wanted to cry.

Only at the end of the day did she realize how precious that kind of help and protection was.

When she got out of the elevator, Han Yuanjun saw her and drove the car towards her.

Liang Zixuan got into the car and heard him ask, "Which hospital?"

Liang Zixuan bit her lip, holding back the urge to cry as she said in a hoarse voice, "Imperial City People's Hospital."

Han Yuanjun didn't say a word and just drove out of the parking lot.

Liang Zixuan looked down and placed her hands on her lap. Her ten fingers were intertwined. After a while, she finally whispered, "Thank you."

As these two words came out of her mouth, anxious and sad cries pierced her throat.

She wanted to endure it, but no matter what, she couldn't.

On the one hand, it was because she was worried about Luo Yanyun, and on the other hand, she was forced by Xiang Zedong to the point where she really wanted to resign. But, she also knew that after she left Han Group Media, she and Luo Yanyun would starve to death because they had no income.

And there's Han Yuanjun. He even left all his jobs to become her driver and accompanied her to the hospital.

How could she not feel touched?

Liang Zixuan covered her mouth with her hand and turned her face towards the window, trying her best to hold back her tears.

Han Yuanjun took a glance at her.. Liang Zixuan, right now, was just a little girl with such a skinny back and full of loads on her shoulders.
