Ding!
The elevator stopped in front of the Operations Department office.
Akiyano Koiko hurriedly broke free from Xiao Yun's embrace, reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her forehead, slightly raised her head, and her face returned to its usual Cold Beauty expression.
She softly said to Xiao Yun, "You'll find out soon!"
What would he find out soon? Xiao Yun felt a vague sense of unease.
Stepping out of the elevator, the two walked into the office one after the other.
As they entered, the other women cast surprised glances at them. Especially Kawagawa Haruko, whose beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, wondering if Xiao Yun had really fallen for Akiyano Koiko.
Just as Xiao Yun took his seat, the enchanting Kawagawa Haruko leaned over and whispered, "Did you just go see the stunning Akiyano?"
Before Xiao Yun could respond, Wu the Fat pushed the door open and walked in.
This guy strutted in with his chest puffed out and hands clasped behind his back, casting his sinister gaze over the faces of the Eight Beauties before lingering meaningfully on Xiao Yun, a cold smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
Then he shifted his attention to Akiyano Koiko.
Usually, Akiyano Koiko would not pay Wu the Fat any mind, but under his intense gaze, she involuntarily lowered her head.
This subtle movement did not escape Xiao Yun's notice; he was secretly astonished as the room fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Ahem...
Wu the Fat lightly cleared his throat twice, then spoke with an imposing expression, "In ten minutes, all personnel from the Operations Department are to gather in the seventh-floor conference room for a meeting. Director Kato will announce something significant!"
After saying that, Wu the Fat shot a fierce glare at Xiao Yun before turning and leaving the office.
What significant announcement could Director Kato have?
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became strange.
From Wu the Fat's expression as he was leaving, Xiao Yun could already sense that the important matter Director Kato was going to announce must be related to him and Akiyano Koiko.
It was evident that Kato Miyoko had already informed Wu the Fat that his wife had barged into the office last night because of a tip-off from Xiao Yun.
This was quite a disaster!
In this Operations Department, Wu the Fat was already a headache; now, he had Kato Miyoko as an adversary.
And this adversary was the top boss of the Operations Department!
As his gaze swept over the eight women present, Xiao Yun noticed that only Hanada Makoto remained calmly seated at her desk. However, her eyes sparkled, and he could tell that there was a hint of uncontainable joy hidden in her expression.
What could she be so happy about?
But everyone has their own emotions, and Xiao Yun didn't think too much about it.
When his gaze landed on Akiyano Koiko, she happened to be looking back at him. Their eyes met across the room, and it felt like there were many things they wanted to say to each other, yet neither knew how to begin.
In no time, all the employees of the Operations Department were seated in the conference room on the seventh floor.
As Kato Miyoko walked into the conference room, her eyes inadvertently swept over Xiao Yun, and her pretty face turned slightly red.
It was embarrassing; being caught in such an ugly situation was indeed disgraceful.
However, Xiao Yun sensed that Kato Miyoko's gaze was filled with cold, sharp hostility.
Just as Kato Miyoko sat down, Wu the Fat cleared his throat and said, "Please be quiet, now let's welcome the Director to speak!"
Following Wu the Fat's lead, scattered applause echoed in the conference room.
"Alright, no need to applaud!" Kato Miyoko was dissatisfied with the lackluster applause. Her expression was as if covered by a layer of ice as she coldly stated, "Due to work requirements and after research by the company's high-level management, I announce that the current Operations Director, Akiyano Koiko, will be transferred to the Material Department as its head!"
What? Akiyano Koiko is being transferred to the Material Department?
Xiao Yun was instantly dumbfounded; this woman's revenge was too cruel!
The Material Department of Paradise Beauty Club was located in a remote city, and shipments were usually coordinated over the phone.
Moreover, Xiao Yun had heard Kozakawa Haruko mention that the head of the Material Department was a perverted old man who took pleasure in tormenting his subordinates. Would Akiyano Koiko have a good time there?
Clearly, this was Kato Miyoko's deliberate attempt to separate Akiyano Koiko from Xiao Yun after learning about their relationship. This woman sure acted quickly when it came to revenge!
"I oppose!" Xiao Yun couldn't control her impulse and stood up, shouting loudly.
Kato Miyoko's eyes pierced like swords as she coldly replied, "What do you oppose?"
Xiao Yun did not know where he found the courage to say, "Director, Director Akiyano has always done an outstanding job in the Operations Department, and this is something everyone can see. I believe transferring her would undoubtedly be a significant loss for the Operations Department!"
"Hey, you brat, you've only been eating well for a few days. Do you think you have a say here?" Wu the Fat shouted angrily.
Kato Miyoko spoke harshly, "Long San, I know your recent performance has been good, and you even managed to secure contracts from Wei Qinghe's beauty salons. But compared to the achievements of those present over the years, you're still far behind. Don't think you're something special and can act recklessly!"
"I..." Xiao Yun was so angry that he was speechless.
Wu the Fat smugly reprimanded, "Long San, sit down. Everything here is decided by the Director; it's not your place to interrupt."
Damn it, can being a boss really allow someone to act so arrogantly?
When Xiao Yun looked at Akiyano Koiko again, he noticed her eyes were still red.
Only then did he realize why she was upset; she didn't want to leave him.
Her tears were shed for him.
"Akiyano Koiko, do you have any objections to the club's decision?" Kato Miyoko asked coldly.
Akiyano Koiko replied softly, "No objections."
"Please answer loudly!" Kato Miyoko commanded.
Akiyano Koiko answered loudly, "No objections!"
"Good, since there are no objections, you can leave now. The car is waiting for you at the club entrance. You don't need to pack anything; you will head straight to the Material Department where accommodations and necessary supplies have already been prepared for you!"
What is Kato Miyoko up to, making Akiyano Koiko leave immediately?
Damn it, her move is truly vicious; I couldn't even say a word of farewell to Akiyano Ice Sister.
"Akiyano Ice Sister, let me walk you downstairs!" Seeing Akiyano Koiko stand up with a wronged expression and say nothing, Xiao Yun felt a pang in his heart and said with a trembling voice.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Kato Miyoko became furious and shouted, "Long San, you are too presumptuous! Who gave you the authority to escort her?"
Under Kato Miyoko's furious gaze, Xiao Yun had no choice but to sit back down, watching helplessly as Akiyano Koiko walked out of the conference room alone.
Xiao Yun's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife.
Only Wu the Fat was secretly sneering on the side. Damn it, this Akiyano Koiko is someone I wouldn't dare touch; how could you have the audacity to pursue her? Isn't that asking for trouble?
Hmph, now it's good; I don't need to step in. With Kato Miyoko here to deal with you, that's enough. Kid, it won't be long before you're kicked out of Paradise Beauty Club.
At this moment, Kato Miyoko spoke again: "Akiyano Koiko has left, but we still need a director for the operations department. Now, I announce the name of the new Deputy Director—this person is—"
