Murong Yunxi responded quickly and immediately grabbed onto Bella"s collar from behind. She pulled with huge strength and Bella was pulled back.
Murong Yunxi frowned and her expression was extremely bad. "Why? You even want to take revenge?"
Bella"s heart shuddered. She never expected Murong Yunxi to get rough. She stayed still immediately.
"Fired immediately! We don"t tolerate this kind of people at Xing Shang." Murong Yunxi"s were sharp and everyone on set just watched quietly, not daring to say a word.
Gong Yu and Fourth were also surprised as they watched from a side. The power that the current Murong Yunxi displayed had completely subverted her usual way of doing things.
Murong Yunxi was also secretly rejoicing in her heart. Seemed like the recent monstrous training with Fourth had seen great improvements. Her arm strength had now improved by a lot as compared to before. Holding back a Bella was a piece of cake.
Murong Yunxi"s cold gaze looked down and she stared into Bella"s eyes. "If I ever hear of my staff coming to complain to me again, saying that you"re hara.s.sing them or seeking revenge, I think you should know what kind of result awaits you! Right now, Xing Shang still belongs to the Murong family. If you don"t want to challenge the Murong family"s authority, then please maintain yourself."
Bella was frightened by Murong Yunxi"s icy-cold and bone-shivering gaze, so much so that she erased all other thoughts instantly. "Chairman Yun, I wouldn"t dare."
"That"s the best. Also, on behalf of the Murong family, let me remind you again. It"s better for you not to easily develop unnecessary thoughts for people that don"t belong to you."
Facing the seemingly-gentle Murong Yunxi"s powerful stance, Bella erased all other thoughts instantly and nodded in a well-behaved manner.
Murong Yunxi let go of Bella and ordered in a stern voice, "Bella, you can leave now. For the rest of you, get ready. After changing of clothes we"re moving on to the next set."
The crowd did not dare to make any mistakes and immediately started getting busy with their jobs.
Gu Yuxuan glanced at Murong Yunxi gratefully and both of them smiled as their eyes met each other"s. They then quietly started on their own work at hand.
Looking at Murong Yunxi, Iris" team and Susie also started to have a faint tint of admiration towards her. Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu"s shoot was perfect and she even put on such a great show. Be it beauty, wisdom, way of handling things or a strong stance, everyone"s hearts were captured willingly.
When it was time to pack up, Murong Yunxi said to everyone courteously and with a smile, "You"ve all worked hard, in order to repay you all, Susie will bring you all to a gathering as a reward for your work. Just let me pay for it."
"Wow, Chairman Yun is so generous!"
"Yea, she"s fierce when she should be, and she"s so set-free when she"s approachable, she"s not bad!"
"Right! Just now Chairman Yun was so domineering. Actually, I"ve disliked Bella for a long time. Indeed, Chairman Yun has wise eyes, she could tell right away."
"Yes, and not only does Chairman Yun has the aura of a Chairman, but her visuals are also an all-kill! Look at her and Mr. Gong"s photos, they"re all so pretty. I think we will sell out for this issue."
"Yes, yes, yes, I even plan to choose some for my desktop wallpaper, they look so good!"
"Okay, stop fangirling, won"t you be staring at your screen during work then?"
Everyone started to be caught in a heated discussion. Gu Yuxuan stood at a side and listened. She was now full of admiration for Murong Yunxi. A few days ago, she was still listening to this bunch of people gossiping about Murong Yunxi, ruining her image terribly. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten about those comments from a few days ago and are so close to worshipping her at her feet.
Murong Yunxi walked to Gu Yuxuan. "Gill, you look like you have a cold?"
Gu Yuxuan nodded.
"Since you have a cold, you should go back early and rest. You can only do your best at work when your body is well."
"Thank you, Chairman Yun."
"How about this? My husband and I are leaving, let"s send you somewhere. It"s hard to hitch a cab here."
"This...doesn"t seem like a good idea!"
"It doesn"t matter, let"s go!"
Susie saw that Murong Yunxi was just about to go and stepped forward. "Chairman Yun, you"re not going to the gathering with us?"
"No, if I go, I think everyone will not fully enjoy themselves, so I"ll not go. Let them play and eat well."
Then, Murong Yunxi wrapped her arm around Gong Yu"s and turned to glance at Gu Yuxuan. "Gill, let"s go, we"ll send you somewhere."
The few of them left while being stared at by the rest.
"Wow, actually, I think that while Chairman Yun can be scary when she"s fierce, she"s actually quite nice sometimes. There is very little Chairmans who will bother taking one more look at probationary employees."
"Yes, you"re right. She"s quite gentle to Gill."
"Okay everyone, do you guys plan to stay here and discuss about Chairman Yun? Are we going to the gathering or not?"
"Of course, Chairman Yun is treating, of course we have to go."
"Quick, pack up quickly, we"re going to feast!"
Murong Yunxi and the other three drove towards Murong Ye"s house.
Gu Yuxuan sat beside Murong Yunxi. She leaned against her head gently as she was feeling too uncomfortable from the cold.
"Xiao Xi, you were so cool today, I"m totally in love with you," Gu Yuxuan said with a strong nasal voice. While she sounded like she had no energy, there was still a tint of excitement and agitation in her voice.
"You, you don"t even know how to retaliate when someone outside bullies you. Since when did you become so useless." Gu Yuxuan could hear Murong Yunxi"s deep concern for her in a disciplinary tone.
Gu Yuxuan smiled gently and the sweetness hanging at the corners of her lips were very evident.
"I"m just having a hard time because I"m having a cold! I don"t have the energy to bicker with her. Besides, I"m on probation, I can"t mess up my relationship with my colleagues. Otherwise, how am I supposed to become full-time!"
"But you can"t be bullied like that!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Now I have my cute Xiao Xi princess to support me. I have the big Chairman as my backup, I"m not afraid of anyone now."
Murong Yunxi leaned in to flick on her forehead. At that moment when her fingers touched her forehead, her heart shivered. She quickly placed her palm onto Gu Yuxuan"s forehead. "Ah! Xuan Xuan, you"re having a fever?"
"It"s okay, I"ll just take a pill when I get home and I"ll be better after a good night"s sleep!"
"I say, you"re already an adult, why must you make others worry about you? You can"t even take care of yourself well. This morning I told you not to go to work and you chose not to listen. And now you"re even having a fever?"
Gu Yuxuan could feel Murong Yunxi"s love towards her in her tone. She smiled, "Xiao Xi, you"re so good to me. Let"s be good sisters forever okay? Never separate?"
"Are you trying to cling onto me?"
"Yes, of course! Our Xiao Xi is so big now for me to cling onto, if I miss it, where else would I find someone as big as you?"
"Okay, good that you know! Then continue clinging onto me and never let go!"
Hearing this, Gong Yu pretended to be mad. "That won"t do! I am the only one that can hug my wife, if you cling onto her, there will forever be a 10,000-watt lightbulb between us!"
They arrived at Murong Ye"s house in laughter. Fourth looked at them get off the car and left.
For the next few days, Murong Yunxi did not go to Xing Shang, but her image of a G.o.ddess had already spread far in Xing Shang.
After resting for a day, Gong Yu went back to join the film crew. What followed next was busy work that made them nervous again.
Murong Yunxi followed behind Fourth every day. Other than physical training on a daily basis, Fourth had also started to train her in the business field.
Time pa.s.sed by day by day. After a few months" time, Murong Yunxi had improved tremendously. Every now and then, she would pop in at Xing Shang to take a look. But the company was well-managed by Wu Sen, so there was not much for her to worry about.
Murong Yunxi started to get involved in more business matters other than Xing Shang. At the same time, she touched on hotels, real estate, hospitals, and education. After really involving herself in these things, she suddenly realized that the Murong family had ventured into such a vast variety of industries that she could never imagine. They were practically in every industry that she could name and was even leading in some of them.
Fourth looked down on Murong Yunxi at first, but he started to give her more recognition slowly. Without a doubt, Murong Yunxi was very smart. She could understand quickly whatever he taught and could get the hang of it as well. In just a few months" time, Murong Ye pa.s.sed over more work to her. This surprised him a lot.
Murong Qingtian did not worry about Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi. He would not give any opinions at all and leave it all to them completely, letting them do the decisions for everything.
And in the past few months, Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu"s relationship got better.
It was Christmas Day and City A had welcomed the winter season.
While the cold weather forced the people to wrap themselves up, the coldness was weakened by the lively atmosphere.
Murong Xu brought Gu Yuxuan out to dinner, and then a movie. All corners on the streets, in the malls and restaurants, were filled with the happy atmosphere of the festival.
Among the festivities of the colored lights, Christmas carols filled the air. The happy melodies made everyone happy. And for couples in love, it was happiness filled with sweetness.
Murong Xu tightened Gu Yuxuan"s collar and wrapped his scarf around her neck. He said to her dotingly, "You little idiot, you don"t even know that you need to bring a scarf in this cold weather."
Gu Yuxuan smiled and her grin reached the bottom of her eyes. Her gaze was filled with happiness and enjoyment.
Murong Yunxi fixed her outfit and took her small and cold hand in his big and warm hand. "Let"s go! I"m bringing you to one more place."
Murong Yunxi held her hand and brought her to a church. There was a big parade square in front of the church.
The church building was outlined by the lights, showing its unique frames. It looked especially solemn on this night.
That glowing cross seemed to be bearing witness to something.
Murong Xu held her hands in both of his and looked straight into her bright eyes.
Gu Yuxuan suddenly felt nervous. The affectionate Murong Xu was causing the little deer in her heart to jump around happily, as if the gra.s.s was growing everywhere it jumped on and flowers were blooming all over the greenery.
"Xuan Xuan..."
