Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Company Money Goes Missing"Ye Xuan, come here." After returning to the Company, just as Ye Xuan was about to enter Eastern Group, he was stopped by a shout at the door. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw an old acquaintance, the Security Department Manager Ma Zhitao, who used to be Ye Xuan’s immediate boss. "Manager Ma, haven’t seen you in days. I didn’t expect you to look even younger and more radiant." Ye Xuan immediately smiled and casually threw a compliment his way. Ma Zhitao coughed dryly and also smiled, "Ye Xuan, congratulations on being promoted to sales manager. I really miss you since you left the security department." Miss me? I’m a grown man, what do you want me for? Ye Xuan muttered to himself, then asked aloud, "Manager Ma, did you need me for something?" "Well, it’s not much, but I’m about to go to a meeting and I was wondering if you could help me retrieve something." Ma Zhitao glanced around and said with a smile. "What is it? A package?" "It’s not a package, it’s a red envelope." Ye Xuan laughed, "Manager Ma, you’re too kind. I can’t believe you’re giving me a red envelope now that I’ve been promoted to sales manager. How can I accept it?" Uh... Ma Zhitao’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly said, "No, Ye Xuan, you misunderstood. It’s not that kind of red envelope, it’s literally a red bag." "Oh, you scared me there. I really thought Manager Ma was going to give me a red envelope. In that case, I was wondering whether to accept it or not, considering someone like you, a big manager with a salary of millions, would be too embarrassed to give something small. It should at least be ten or eighty million to match your status!" Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly as he spoke seriously, playing with his fingers. Ma Zhitao was speechless. Ten or eighty million? Is this about giving me a red envelope, or is it a robbery? This kid’s got a big appetite! Thank god I’m not actually giving you a red envelope! "Manager Ma, what’s wrong? I was just joking, you weren’t frightened, were you?" Ye Xuan laughed. "Cough, of course not... the red package is in the drawer of the table outside the warehouse. Can you get it for me?" Ma Zhitao said with a forced smile. "OK, just a red bag, right?" Ye Xuan made an OK gesture, then laughed again, "Hehe, Manager Ma, there isn’t another big red envelope inside to surprise me, is there?" Ma Zhitao’s heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head, "No, it’s just a red bag. Just bring it to me..." "Alright, I’ll get it for you. You go to your meeting." Ye Xuan said, then turned and headed towards the lobby on the first floor. The warehouse was on the third basement level of the Company, and Ye Xuan needed to take the elevator. Watching Ye Xuan’s departing figure, Ma Zhitao’s eyes gleamed briefly, and a cold smile emerged at the corners of his mouth: "Ye Xuan, we have no grievances, but you hit my nephew, and there’re people in the company who don’t want you to stay. You can’t blame me!" "I hope the ’surprise’ later doesn’t shock you too much..." In the lobby on the first floor. As soon as Ye Xuan entered, he heard noisy discussions. "Did you hear that the finance department’s money was stolen at noon? They haven’t found it yet!" "What? The finance department’s money was stolen? Did they catch the thief?" "Not yet, no one knows who did it! That’s our salary for this month. If the money is stolen, we definitely won’t get paid!" "Damn thief! Better not let me catch you or you’re going to pay..." The crowd around him was indignant, all blaming the thief. Just then, Ye Xuan walked in, ready to take the elevator but suddenly saw Yuan Mengmeng there, so he walked over. "Mengmeng, what happened?" Patting the girl’s shoulder, Ye Xuan asked with a smile. "Big brother Ye, why did you just come back?" Yuan Mengmeng saw Ye Xuan, her expression somewhat anxious and frustrated: "Listen, someone stole the money from the finance department! That’s everyone’s salary. Now that the money’s gone, the employees are all very anxious." What? Money stolen? Ye Xuan frowned, who would be so bold to even steal my wife’s money? Let me catch them, and they’re in for a beating! He asked, "Mengmeng, have they found out who it was yet?" "Not yet, everyone is here waiting for news. The Company’s Security Captain is investigating and said they will catch the thief." Yuan Mengmeng said with an annoyed frown. This money was very important to her as her mother was in the hospital and her monthly medical expenses were a substantial amount. She was understandably furious that the money for her mother’s treatment had been stolen! Huh? Security Captain investigating? Hearing Yuan Mengmeng’s words, Ye Xuan thought of Liu Hongfei, whom he had kicked out. Could it be him? Liu Hongfei had been beaten up by him and, instead of going to the hospital to recover, was investigating the disappearance of the funds! Wasn’t he always slacking off? How has he become so proactive now? He felt something was off but couldn’t put his finger on it. "Mengmeng, let me know when they catch the thief, I’ll give them a good lesson!" Ye Xuan greeted Yuan Mengmeng and then took the elevator to the warehouse. Descending to the third basement level, Ye Xuan walked out of the elevator and didn’t go far before he saw the office desk at the entrance to the warehouse. He walked over quickly, opened the drawer, and sure enough, found a beautiful red leather bag. "Huh? This is a women’s bag, darn it, could it be his mistress’s?" Ye Xuan’s lips revealed a playful smile, looking around the dimly lit and quiet warehouse, he chuckled mischievously. Underground warehouse, hehe, indeed a good place for "affairs"! "Cough... maybe one day I should bring Lin Tong here to try it out?" Ye Xuan thought wickedly, imagining a scene of wild galloping, immediately feeling his heart race. "Live and learn, today I’ve learned a new trick, not a wasted trip." After fantasizing in his mind, Ye Xuan happily picked up the bag and prepared to leave. However, the red bag was quite heavy; he had no idea what was inside. "Stop thief! The thief is here! Someone catch him!" Suddenly, a loud shout came. What? Stop thief! Ye Xuan looked around and asked, "Where’s the thief?" "Stop looking, you are the thief." A flamboyantly dressed uniformed woman rushed over, grabbed the red bag from Ye Xuan’s hand, and shouted loudly, "Hmph, I was wondering where my bag had gone, and here you’ve stolen it! You’ve got some nerve, thief, even daring to steal the company’s money!" What? I am the thief! Ye Xuan widened his eyes, dumbfounded by the situation.
