Ye Xian quickly covered her rogue mouth, simultaneously pressing her shoulder, and flipped her over to pin her beneath him. The series of professional moves left Zhu Shanshan dumbfounded, her admiring eyes sparkling, "Wow! Xiao Xianxian, you’re so cool, what move is that? Have you practiced this?"
"Ah..." Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t this kind of trick frequently used in idol dramas? I’ve fild so many that now I just naturally know it."
"Yes, yes, especially seeing you now dressed as a man, I feel like I’m being forced by a male god, co on, don’t stop, go on!"
Ye Xian watched her close her eyes with enjoynt, the corner of her mouth twitching, "Woman, stop your unrealistic fantasies."
"Oh, you’re so annoying, several stories of ’Top Brother Falls in Love with ’, ’Superstar Forced Love’ just popped into my head. Honestly, if you were a man, I might like you instead of your second brother."
"Stop imagining things, speaking seriously now, with second brother being so concerned about our relationship, doesn’t that an you’ll have no chance?"
"Why wouldn’t I? It’s better this way. This way, if one day I manage to win him over, it proves he really likes , and it’s not just a fling like with other won."
That kind of makes sense now you ntion it.
Ye Xian nodded in agreent, comfortably heading to the bathroom.
"Plus, now that you have President Bo, you’ll definitely spend less ti with him. He’ll be very sad, and by then, I can take advantage of the situation, achieving twice the result with half the effort, don’t you think..."
Zhu Shanshan turned her head, only to see the bathroom light had already been turned on, "..." That little rciless soul, just wait till she gets her hands on her later!
Ye Xian changed into pajamas and walked out of the bathroom, only to see Zhu Shanshan excitedly looking at her while holding her phone, "Xianxian, just now President Bo called when you took a shower, I answered for you. He said he’d be at your house downstairs soon and wants you to get dressed and wait for him."
"What?!"
Ye Xian’s face tightened, snatching her phone from her, she didn’t hesitate a bit and quickly sent Bo Tingshen a WeChat ssage.
This can’t happen, her second brother is really angry right now, he definitely can’t co here!
"CEO, you absolutely must not co to my house right now!"
After a dozen seconds, a reply ca from the other side.
[Are you speaking in reverse psychology?]
Reverse psychology? What reverse psychology?
Beside her, Zhu Shanshan pinched her thigh tightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
Ye Xian, puzzled, caught a glimpse of Zhu Shanshan’s mischievous grin out of the corner of her eye, oh, it’s her doing the mischief...
[I’m coming over now.]
Ye Xian: "?!"
"No, no, no! Don’t co over!"
[Again with the reverse psychology?]
Definitely not! That Zhu Shanshan is going to kill her; the CEO must think she’s just an insatiable woman playing hard to get now!
Ye Xian pinned Zhu Shanshan down on the bed, playfully beating her, while Zhu Shanshan repeatedly begged for rcy.
"No, no, no, the previous ssage was Shanshan playing a prank on , it wasn’t who sent it!"
[Shanshan? You’re spending the night with her?]
"Yeah, yeah, she ca over to hang out with ."
[No, sleep in separate rooms.]
Ye Xian: "...Why?"
[You can only sleep with .]
Ye Xian’s face flushed red, "...It’s okay, I’ve already beaten her to death."
Bo Tingshen chuckled lightly, prompting President ng on the opposite side to suddenly notice the smile, "?" Did he ntion sothing that made President Bo happy? Better think back carefully.
[Still not asleep?]
"About to sleep, actually not yet, if Shanshan isn’t around... I could still call you~"
Bo Tingshen’s hand tightened around his phone, his Adam’s apple subtly moving, as his long fingers gently typed out a few words.
[Go to sleep, goodnight.]
Ye Xian was eagerly waiting for his reply, only to be doused like cold water with those four words pouring down.
Heh, what an unromantic straight guy.
She was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep when a WeChat notification lit up again; she opened it imdiately.
[Wait, send a photo over.]
Ye Xian: "?" Why does he need a photo from her again?
[Need it for the night.]
Need it for the night... Hmm? Night!
With his unhealthy behavior these past few days, Ye Xian’s thoughts started wandering down an improper path.
Could it be...
"You pervert! I won’t do it!"
[Okay.]
This ti he actually listened...
Ye Xian happily prepared to turn off her phone and go to sleep, but the other side slowly sent back a ssage: [Then wait for my call at midnight to scream for ]
Ye Xian: "......"
In Jin City, ng Family’s hall, Pang Kai, holding a tablet and diligently recording the conversation on the side, suddenly noticed that the CEO, while discussing cooperation seriously with President ng, was actually fiddling with his phone at the table!
Moreover, he was typing so smoothly without even looking at his phone, only occasionally glancing at the screen.
It seems like romance has helped the CEO develop a new skill, multitasking.
In the Ye Family’s study, as night wore on, Xia Hewan and Ye Zhuoxuan were still wide awake.
"I really didn’t expect so many things to happen to Xianxian this year, and for us to know nothing about them."
"Yes, Xianxian has grown up, learned how to report the good news and not the bad, probably to keep us from worrying."
"And her situation with the eldest son of Bo Family..."
Ye Zhuoxuan got up and sighed, "Jun Cheng was right, we have indeed been a bit too restrictive with Xianxian all these years, I don’t want to see her regress to the sa state as a year ago, and she’s grown up now, so many things are beyond our reach, but Bo Tingshen can protect her, especially in the tumultuous entertainnt industry. Why not go along with her wishes this ti?"
"What about the Lu Family?"
"In the end, we broke our promise to the Lu Family first, I’ll call Old Master Lu later, find ti to apologize in person, and no matter what compensation they request, I’ll strive to et it."
The night was hazy, silence surrounded everything, a Humr parked at Pear Garden Mansion, Lu Cen got out of the car and walked directly towards the second-floor study.
Old Master Lu, hearing the footsteps, hung up the phone.
Lu Cen pushed the door open and saw his grandfather holding a writing brush, practicing calligraphy.
"Grandfather, did you summon so late for sothing?"
Old Master Lu put down the brush, looking up with repressed complex emotions in his eyes, "Oh, I wanted to ask about the chanical companies you’ve been visiting the past few days, any progress?"
Lu Cen paused for a mont, shook his head, "Not yet."
Old Master Lu seed to have anticipated that, nodding, "It’s understandable, our company, despite having the most advanced manufacturing technology and the best product quality globally, is new to the dostic market. Last ti’s failure makes it hard for others to trust us now. In China, costs are constantly being cut for low-end hardware manufacturing, winning by being cheap, while in high-end precision complex structural tubing, they only trust famous foreign brands. We’re awkwardly stuck in between, and if we can’t find a sales channel, it’ll be very difficult for the company to continue, facing bankruptcy."
"Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ll keep looking for chanical companies to talk to tomorrow; with our solid technology and conditions, soone will definitely be interested, we won’t have trouble finding sales channels."
"A company has already extended an olive branch."
"Already? Which one?"
"AKAM chanical Manufacturing Company, under the ng Group."
"What?" Lu Cen’s face lit up with joy, "That’s one of the top chanical manufacturing companies in the country, and they’re offering to work with us?"
"Yes." Old Master Lu raised his eyes, "It was a phone call from Bo Tingshen himself."
