Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1278: The Earl Can’t Stop Thinking About the Young Madam

The Li Group, a renowned enterprise in Shoucheng, is located in the bustling central area of the city, a place where every inch of land is worth gold.

Li Yan’s company, though it appears to be a branch, is actually the core of the Li Group. The position of General Manager of a Li Group branch is strikingly prestigious.

The Earl, also known as the Devil King from the famous Academy, unexpectedly took up the role of General Manager at a Li Group branch, which sounds incredible just thinking about it...

A Deputy General carrying coffee walked to Li Yan’s side, ignoring Li Yan’s visibly troubled expression. He coughed and said, ”Earl... no, General Manager, have some coffee...”

Li Yan was participating in this perilous task, and the company was staffed entirely with personnel under Gong Qingwan. After discussions with the organization, Qiao Chenyi decided to dispatch a Deputy General for coordinated action.

Firstly, he was Li Yan’s Deputy General and even a trusted ally, so the organization felt assured; secondly, Li Yan found it reassuring and convenient!

And the Deputy General himself had originally come from the East District to join his Earl, so there was no need to worry about his identity.

The Academy had also prepared his identity well, thoroughly solidifying the Deputy General’s defection intention. The old subordinate seeking refuge with Li Yan made perfect sense without any flaws.

On the mahogany desk lay various materials and reports submitted by each department.

At this moment, Li Yan sat in the leather chair, impatiently reviewing the materials, his pen never stopping.

The Deputy General could easily see that the Earl was in a bad mood and said, ”The Young Madam will be back soon... General Manager, don’t let it bother you...” The term ”General Manager” wasn’t easy for the Deputy General to say; if he could, he would rather call Li Yan ”Young Master.”

However...

Now was not the time to say these things.

Because...

Devil King Li Yan’s mood was truly not good...

It was like this since morning and continued until now.

The Deputy General thought it must have been caused by that phone call at noon.

Although he didn’t know what Gu Tong said to the Devil King, he could more or less guess it...

After all, the Deputy General was well aware of the Young Madam’s penchant for causing trouble.

Young Madam...

The moment the Deputy General mentioned Gu Tong, Li Yan’s hand holding the pen paused slightly.

Gu Tong was like a spell; just mentioning her, and he would lose control!

Li Yan raised his eyelids and calmly said, ”I didn’t think about her!”

The Deputy General: ”...” Is this like a stubborn duck...?

His Earl’s mind was full of the Young Madam, yet he insisted on saying he didn’t think of her...

The Deputy General was single but worried sick for them, saying, ”Yes, yes, yes... You’re not thinking of her; you’re just worried, worried...”

Saying thinking makes one lose face.

Worried, isn’t it more reasonable.

This time, Li Yan pressed his lips and didn’t speak, which was tacit approval of the Deputy General’s statement.

”...” Their Devil King is really too tsundere, clearly missing the Young Madam terribly, yet unwilling to admit it...

The Deputy General still had to find ways to rationalize it for him, which was truly exhausting.

Isn’t this basically having a secondary role but worrying like a mother...?

The Deputy General helplessly asked, ”Did Madam say when she would return?”

The details of the phone call at noon were unknown to the Deputy General, so he could only ask his Earl for more information.

Although such a question might upset him, the Deputy General had no other choice.
