Xiao Linye stepped out of his office just in time to hear Kang Xuan's remark to Lai Shuo. His expression darkened further. This Lai Shuo... very good! His audacity is really growing. In just a short while, a gloomy atmosphere permeated the entire office.
Lai Shuo was floored by Kang Xuan's words. "That's not it! When have I ever questioned the Boss?"
"Then what exactly did you mean by that question?" Kang Xuan pressed.
Lai Shuo sputtered, "What—what do I mean? I was just asking! Can't I even ask?"
"No, you can't!" Kang Xuan snapped. "Are the Boss's affairs your business to pry into?"
When on earth did Kang Xuan's tongue get so sharp? He used to be so good-tempered. Why are his words so barbed today?! At this moment, Lai Shuo hadn't yet realized how different he was from his time abroad. Back then, he hadn't been so preoccupied with other matters.
Kang Xuan didn't engage him further. He shrugged Lai Shuo's hand off his arm and walked away.
