Around evening, Li Mu took the initiative to call Cheng Feng, informing Cheng Feng that something urgent came up at the company, and he had already rushed back to Shanyang.

After the call, Cheng Feng thought about it deeply. The two of them had disappeared together. Did they elope secretly? How could it be so coincidental? They left one after another. It felt like that everything had been planned in advance.

He was, after all, the young master of the Cheng family. Although he was not familiar with the IT industry, he was an expert in dealing with people. After pondering for a while, he could roughly guess everything.

At night, Cheng Feng told his mother about this incident as a joke. Then he told his parents implicitly that there was no need for them to try to match him and He Xiaoyu up. He Xiaoyu already had a boyfriend.

Madam Cheng felt very surprised because this was not what her husband told her. According to her husband, He Xiaoyu was neither married nor had a boyfriend. Who was this Li Mu that his son was talking about?

After ending the call with her son, she immediately told her husband about this. Mr. Cheng also found it strange. When they brought up the topic of their children’s marriage, they were serious. He believed that He Yang wouldn’t make a joke out of this matter. Therefore, he needed to ask him about it clearly.

Early the next morning, Tang Quan walked into the president’s office and asked a middle-aged man with white hair, “Teacher, are you looking for me?”

He Yang, the president of the Dongyang Group, was a wise and daring man. He had started Dongyang Group from scratch, transforming it from a small workshop that assembled computers into a well-known listed company in the industry.

He had gone through a lot of obstacles in his life. No matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles he encountered, it would not obliterate his fighting spirits and his determination to move forward. The only thing that gave him a headache was his precious daughter, He Xiaoyu.

During his younger days, Mr. He had dedicated most of his time to setting up the business, which caused him to neglect his family. Especially when it comes to his daughter's education, he had never done his best. By the time he realized that his daughter had already gotten out of control.

Fortunately, his daughter had taken after him. Other than being competitive and a little obstinate, she didn’t worry him and his wife too much in other aspects.

When she was still a student, her grades in school were always excellent. After graduating from university, under the repeated persuasion of her father, she reluctantly joined the Dongyang Group. Her performance at work was naturally outstanding.

As people grew older, they would gradually shift their focus to their families. The same went for He Yang as well. He couldn’t help but feel gratified when he saw how outstanding his daughter was. He thought that he just needed to continue to work for a few more years, and he could pass the Dongyang Group to his daughter after she became more mature.

He Yang valued his daughter so much and regarded He Xiaoyu as the hope of He family, he would naturally be very picky about the choice of his son-in-law.

He Yang knew a woman's marriage was like starting her second life. If she married well and lived harmoniously with her husband, her life after the marriage would be wonderful.

However, if a woman didn’t marry well and couldn’t get along with her husband, her life after her marriage would become a mess.

He Xiaoyu was his most precious daughter. Of course, he wanted his daughter to marry a good and reliable man.

This was also why he agreed without hesitation when Mr. Cheng proposed a marriage alliance between the two families.

Although they didn’t know Mr. Cheng for long, they clicked so well with each other. The marriage between the two families was also in line with each other’s core interests.

Most importantly, he had personally met Cheng Feng before. The way he spoke revealed his character to him. After a brief exchange with Cheng Feng, he could basically conclude that he was a very good young man.

However, his daughter had always been a spoiled brat and was used to being rebellious. If he forced them to get together, that brat would surely kick up a fuss.

Therefore, He Yang came up with a compromise. He would let Cheng Feng come and work with his daughter in the same department of Dongyang Group.

To be honest, Mr. He’s idea of letting the two young people get along with each other was indeed not bad. Didn't people always say that love grew over time? He would create opportunities for them to develop the relationship. The rest would happen naturally.

However, unexpectedly, his ideal son-in-law had given shocking feedback after he met He Xiaoyu for the first time. That was, his daughter was currently in a relationship with a man named Li Mu, who was her immediate superior.

He Yang was very surprised. He Xiaoyu had never mentioned this person to him before. She had kept this relationship a secret from him pretty well. Who exactly was this man called Li Mu?

After thinking about it carefully, he discovered that there had been signs of the relationship. The girl had been grumbling non-stop when she just started working, However, after a while, she would go to work enthusiastically every day. It turned out that she had met someone she liked in the company.

It was inappropriate to ask anyone about this kind of thing. The best person who he could ask would certainly be his secretary.

“Take a seat!” He Yang said, pointing to a chair.

After sitting down, Tang Quan looked at He Yang with admiration. He was his mentor, and also the person who brought him into this company.

It was precisely because of this that he had always called He Yang “teacher”.

“Well, Xiaoyu has a colleague named Li Mu. Do you know him?” He Yang asked directly.

Tang Quan’s heart jolted upon when hearing He Yang’s question. This was something that Ms. He had repeatedly instructed him to keep as a secret. Why did his boss suddenly ask about Li Mu? Did someone reveal something to him?

A shrewd person like He Yang would naturally know that Tang Quan knew this person when he saw the hesitant look on his face. This matter was definitely not that simple.

He didn’t force Tang Quan to answer his question, but only looked at him quietly.

To He Yang, Tang Quan was his most valued and trusted student. Tang Quan would definitely not lie to him. The reason why he hesitated was that this was something he found extremely difficult to speak out.

As expected, after hesitating for a moment, Tang Quan answered his question honestly, “Teacher, Ms. He does have a colleague named Li Mu. He is now Ms. He’s immediate superior.”

“Xiaoyu’s immediate superior?” He Yang tried to search for this person in his memory.

Tang Quan smiled and added, “Teacher, he is the consulting director, not some low-level managers.”

“Oh,” He Yang responded. This was really understandable. The company was so huge that he could not remember all the middle and low-level management staff, let alone the lower-level staff.

“I heard that he has a very good relationship with Xiaoyu. Is this true?”

Tang Quan nodded his head awkwardly.

“What stage has their relationship progressed to?”

“No, there is no progress at all. They are just colleagues!”

“They are just colleagues? Is it really so simple?”

“They are senior and junior fellows!”

“What nonsense is that?” He Yang was a little displeased.

Cold sweat began to break out on Tang Quan’s forehead as he replied nervously, “Teacher, they graduated from the same university, and they just have a senior-junior relationship.”

“Why are you feeling so nervous? What exactly is the relationship between Xiaoyu and that Li Mu?”

“They are just colleagues!”

“Aren’t they a couple?”

“No, definitely not. Lu Mu is already married!”

“Nonsense!” He Yang slammed his hand on the table when hearing that. This girl was a bit too absurd. How could she maintain a close relationship with a married man? What was she thinking about?

“Is there anything else that I don’t know? Tell me everything!”

Tang Quan immediately shook his head and replied, “Nope, that’s all. Ms. He is very close to him, but they are just pure friends.”

He still hid a piece of important information from him. That was, He Xiaoyu had secretly investigated Li Mu’s wife. She had planned to take his wife down and to be Li Mu’s wife.

As He Yang had overworked himself back in his younger days, his heart health had not been very good. Therefore, in any case, he couldn’t tell him that. Otherwise, He Yang might get annoyed and trigger his heart disease.

He Yang calmed down slightly and said, “It’s also not a good thing for them to continue to be friends with each other. No matter how much the society has developed, there is still a difference between a man and a woman. If an unmarried woman gets too close to a married man, she will inevitably be criticized by others. Transfer that Li Mu to another city as a regional manager.”

Tang Quan was in a fix. It was easy for He Yang to say this, but could it really be done? Even if he transferred Li Mu to another city, He Xiaoyu would definitely find a way to get to Li Mu’s side. He couldn’t see the point of doing that at all.

Seeing his expression, He Yang instantly understood and asked uneasily, “Does Xiaoyu like him?”

Tang Quan didn’t answer his question but nodded silently.

He Yang got up from the chair, feeling a little flustered. The difficulties and obstacles that he encountered in business hadn’t made him feel so frustrated before. In the end, it was still that girl that made him feel defeated in life.

Yes, all the feelings of failure that Mr. He experienced were because of his daughter. He originally thought that she would be more sensible when she got older. Unexpectedly, she was still the same girl who would make him feel more sense of failure.

“Tang Quan, tell me honestly. Did they cross the line?”

“Definitely no, teacher. I can use my life to guarantee this. There is only a pure friendship between them.”

He Yang nodded his head and his expression somewhat looked a little more relaxed. It was a relief that they didn’t cross the line. It seemed that the matter had not developed to a point that was difficult to turn back. He only needed to lead his girl back on the right path.

“Just fire Li Mu!” He Yang ordered, “Find an excuse to let him leave the Dongyang Group.”

Surprisingly, Tang Quan, who had always dutifully obeyed orders, didn’t immediately agree. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say.

“What’s wrong? Is there any problem with my decision?”

“Teacher, I think it’s better not to interfere in their relationship!”

“Oh?” He Yang muttered silently under his breath, and said, “Go on. Tell me why you think so.”

“Teacher, you also know that Ms. He has a very rebellious personality. The more you stop her from doing something, the more she wants to do it. I’m worried that...”

He Yang fell silent. How could he not know his daughter’s personality?

After pondering for a long moment, he sighed, “My wife and I have spoiled her too much. You’re right. Firing Li Mu is not the best way.”

“Teacher, I suggest going with the flow. Let her make her own decision. Ms. He may be very outgoing, but she has boundaries. She knows how to protect herself and will not do anything inappropriate or unacceptable.”

He Yang nodded his head, and asked uneasily again, “How is Li Mu’s character?”

“He was quite an upright person, and absolutely had no interest in Ms. He. I thought Ms. He was just a little lost at the moment. When she met the right person, she will naturally come to her senses.”

He Yang nodded lightly. This was also quite a good idea. Since there was only a pure friendship between them, it was better not to interfere in their relationship. He believed when his daughter finally met the person she liked, she would know how to make the right choice.

“Alright, let’s do it this way. Inform Quest Mobile...”

“Yan Tao!”

“Yes, inform Yan Tao to transfer Xiaoyu to Cheng Feng. Let Cheng Feng become her immediate superior. Go and get this done right away!”

“I got it, Teacher. Do you have any other orders?”

“There is one more thing. You must not let Xiaoyu know about our conversation today nor reveal Cheng Feng’s identity to her!”

“Don’t worry, teacher. I know what I can and cannot say.”

After leaving the president’s office, Tang Quan found it a little ludicrous. Both the father and daughter were hiding something from each other. He wanted to know who would have the last laugh.
