Quick Wear: Reversing Life
Chapter 17: Desperate Housewives’ Counterattack (17)
When Liu Xinyan woke up, she found herself lying on the sofa at home, covered with a thin blanket.
"woke up?"
Hearing the sound, I turned around and saw Cheng Yu coming over with a glass of water and placing it in front of Liu Xinyan.
Looking at the clock again, it was already past eleven o'clock.
After drinking the water, I woke up and felt very energetic after a good sleep. So after taking a shower, I started playing with the tablet on the bed.
When Cheng Yu came out of the shower, he saw his wife sitting there with her legs crossed and shaking, holding his tablet in her hand, and playing the sound of Candy Crush.
Hearing his movement, Liu Xinyan didn't even turn her head, her eyes and hands kept on the tablet, but she said jokingly: "I didn't expect that the big boss's tablet also has Happy Candy Crush."
I even played hundreds of levels.
Cheng Yu didn't think this was something that would ruin his image. Sometimes he would use it to kill time during board meetings or when he was on the road.
While Liu Xinyan was playing, suddenly a message popped up on the top of the tablet, indicating that it was a message from Chang Ling.
【Are you there? 】
The movement of his hands paused.
Cheng Yu was blow-drying his hair in the bathroom at the moment.
Liu Xinyan narrowed her eyes.
Chang Ling sent another message.
[Brother Cheng Yu, are you free tomorrow at noon? I want to meet you.]
Perhaps because she didn't wait for Cheng Yu's reply, Chang Ling stopped sending messages.
Liu Xinyan was unsure of Chang Ling's attitude. In the original owner's memory, Chang Ling rarely appeared, and there was no news of them meeting privately.
So Liu Xinyan decided to pretend nothing happened, threw the tablet aside, and prepared to see Cheng Yu's reaction later.
After Cheng Yu dried his hair, he saw that Liu Xinyan had already lain down, so he turned off the lights and went to bed. He put the tablet on the bedside table, covered himself with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.
...
Before he could look at the tablet, Liu Xinyan was speechless.
This guy usually checks to see if there is any work news before going to bed, but how come he just went to bed straight away tonight?
Liu Xinyan, who had taken a short nap in the car, was particularly alert at the moment. She kept imagining various possibilities in her mind, wondering which one would be beneficial to the mission.
The system shows that the task progress has reached 40%.
The remaining progress may be able to find a breakthrough from Chang Ling.
So the next day, Liu Xinyan got up early, but found that Cheng Yu had already finished his morning exercise and was eating breakfast downstairs.
Liu Xinyan appeared in the restaurant wearing silk pajamas without even changing her clothes.
Cheng Yu was watching the morning news. When he saw Liu Xinyan coming downstairs in cool clothes, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes? Be careful not to catch a cold."
It would be strange if you catch a cold if you keep the air conditioner on all day at home.
Liu Xinyan only noticed the tablet in his hand, which meant that he must have seen the message.
But Cheng Yu said nothing. After breakfast, he left for the company.
Just at this moment, Aunt Chen brought out a bowl of blood swallows from the kitchen and placed it in front of Liu Xinyan.
"Mother Chen, please make some nourishing soup for lunch. I'll take it to the company to nourish Cheng Yu."
-
Near noon, Liu Xinyan was preparing to change clothes when Gao Shujun suddenly visited her and brought a pot of soup.
"This is the soup the old lady asked me to make for you two. I just happened to be passing by here on business. You can drink some and bring it to Cheng Yu."
Gao Shujun left without staying for long after saying this.
Liu Xinyan just didn't know what reason to find to go to Ruida. After all, she seldom went to the company in all these years of marriage. It just so happened that someone gave her a pillow when she dozed off.
So he took the bowl of soup that Gao Shujun brought him and went out.
Liu Xinyan went there for the purpose of a surprise inspection, so she didn't say hello to Cheng Yu. As expected, she was stopped at the gate in front of the elevator.
Nowadays, the gates in front of office building elevators are one-person-at-a-time, and you need to scan your face or your work ID card.
This entire building belongs to Ruida. It is lunchtime now, and most of the people coming in and out are Ruida's employees. No matter how thick-skinned Liu Xinyan is, she can't follow anyone in.
So she went to the front desk.
The pretty girl at the front desk noticed the stylishly dressed beauty at first sight. She walked over with a fragrant smell and said as soon as she opened her mouth that she had an appointment with someone.
The receptionist smiled and asked, "Excuse me, your contact hasn't come to pick you up yet?"
"He said he had something to do and asked me to go up by myself."
"What's his work number, please?"
Of course, Liu Xinyan didn’t know the work numbers of other employees, but she knew Zhang Xian’s work number, so she reported Zhang Xian’s work number.
When the girl at the front desk checked, her expression became a little subtle.
Zhang Xian is the boss's business secretary and is considered a senior executive in the company. Most of the people who usually make appointments with Zhang Xian are those who want to discuss business matters with the chairman.
The woman in front of me was wearing a brown loose jacket, a blue striped shirt underneath, and high boots, revealing her white thighs.
It doesn't look like they are here to discuss business, and who would discuss business in the middle of the day?
He must be here to have dinner with the chairman!
The girl at the front desk suddenly had gossip in her eyes, but she kept an official smile on her face. "Okay, I'll call and verify."
Liu Xinyan watched his actions, blushing but her heart remained calm, because she had long ago asked the system to block Zhang Xian's mobile phone and landline, so he could not receive any calls at this time.
The call was not connected, and the girl at the front desk said sorry to Liu Xinyan and asked her to wait.
Liu Xinyan pretended to be impatient: "How long will it take? I'm in a hurry."
Seeing her tough-to-deal-with temper, the receptionist confirmed her intentions and quickly said, "Then please register here and I'll grant you access."
After successfully entering, Liu Xinyan took the innermost elevator reserved for the president.
The girl at the front desk had been keeping an eye on Liu Xinyan's movements. When she saw her enter the president's exclusive elevator, she immediately shared the news on the company's internal network.
When Liu Xinyan entered the elevator, she found that she had to swipe her access card.
Liu Xinyan: ...
"System, help me open the permissions."
With the help of the system, the elevator went up quickly.
The top floor, the 28th floor, is Cheng Yu's office and also has his lounge. He usually eats or works overtime in the lounge.
We soon reached the 28th floor. The secretariat at the door was empty. Everyone had probably gone to lunch. Even Zhang Xian was not there.
Cheng Yu's office door was closed but not locked, and there was no one inside.
That only leaves the lounge.
-
Zhang Xian walked into the company gate carrying two cups of coffee and a box lunch. When he was about to swipe his card to pass through the gate, he heard the front desk clerk calling him.
"Secretary Zhang!"
When the girl at the front desk saw Zhang Xian, she decided to verify it again.
"A lady said she had an appointment with you, but I couldn't get through to you on the phone. Please come and confirm it."
Zhang Xian frowned in confusion and walked over to take a look. There were three big words "Liu Xinyan" written clearly on the registration column.
Zhang Xian's face changed, and the receptionist who observed his expression was also shocked and said, "Really? But I thought she didn't seem to be lying, so I let her go..."
"This is the chairman's wife. Why didn't you call the secretary internally to let her know?"
The girl at the front desk was shocked——
"Ah, but I couldn't get through to the inside line..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhang Xian hurriedly swiping his card and entering the elevator in one go.
The girl at the front desk was stunned, and the colleagues who witnessed it nearby didn't even have time to eat.
"Oh my god, that's the chairman's wife? So young?"
"When she was talking to me up close just now, she didn't look like she was 40 at all. Her skin was so beautiful and perfect, not even a neck wrinkle! Could she be remarried?"
"What do you mean by second marriage? The chairman has only been married once. I've been here for several years and I've never heard of any romantic scandals involving him."
"Is the chairman's wife Liu Xinyan..."
"Is that the point? The point is that the boss lady looks like she's here to catch someone cheating. Did you see her expression?"
"What do you mean by catching an adulterer?"
"You went to dinner and didn't see it, but Zhang Xian brought a woman here before. She was also quite pretty and had a great temperament."
"I'll go! Big news!"
The company's intranet exploded, and some old employees came forward to say that they hadn't seen the boss's wife visit them in all the years they had been working at the company, so something big must have happened.
Here, Zhang Xian hurriedly contacted the secretarial office in the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened, he quickly walked to the office, but found that the secretarial office was empty.
Zhang Xian didn't dare to disturb Cheng Yu, so he had to contact the secretary to find another secretary. He had just asked her to watch here first, and he would go downstairs to get the takeaway and come back.
As a result, before he received the message, he saw the female secretary coming out of the bathroom and looking at Zhang Xian with a confused look on her face.
Before Zhang Xian could say anything, he heard some noise coming from the lounge.
It was Liu Xinyan. She walked out and greeted Zhang Xian with a natural look on her face.
"Secretary Zhang, haven't you eaten yet?"
Zhang Xian was still holding a lunch box in his hand.
"Ma'am, the front desk clerk downstairs told me that the routine procedures delayed you a little. Please let me know next time you come and I'll go downstairs to pick you up."
Liu Xinyan looked calm. "Oh, it's okay. I just came to bring some tonic soup to Mr. Cheng. I don't come here often. You go eat. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Liu Xinyan entered the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Cheng Yu came out, followed by Chang Ling.
Cheng Yu saw the closed elevator door and frowned.
Chang Ling said, "Brother Cheng Yu, you should eat first. I'll leave first."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I will consider what you said."
As soon as Chang Ling left, Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian's hair stood on end.
"Sorry, boss, I didn't handle this properly."
Cheng Yu turned his head to look at the soup pot on the table in the lounge and took a deep breath.
"Half of the year-end bonus will be deducted."
-
The girl at the front desk was still participating in a discussion on the company's intranet when she noticed Liu Xinyan coming out of the gate.
"Hey, look, look, the lady is coming out!"
She quietly reminded her colleagues around her.
"So soon? Is this solved or not?"
"Oh, maybe she's just here to bring warmth? Wasn't she carrying a soup pot before?"
"Hey, who's this coat from?"
"That's hilarious! Can you afford the same style as the chairman's wife?"
"Oh, stop arguing, the lady is coming over."
"Oh my god, did you see her face? Her features are so big on a face the size of a palm!"
Everyone at the front desk thought the chairman's wife had just passed by, but they didn't expect her to stop by the front desk.
The girl at the front desk looked up and took a peek, and saw Liu Xinyan smiling at her.
"You've been working hard, haven't you? Order whatever you want for afternoon tea. Zhang Xian will pay for it."
After saying this, he left under the gaze of everyone.
"Oh my god, is this the charm of the chairman's wife?"
"Help, she's so beautiful. If the boss cheats, I'm on his wife's side."
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the woman Secretary Zhang brought up just now?"
"Oh my god, they came out one after the other."
"There's definitely a story. Hey, don't take the picture, it's so obvious."
"How come she's walking so fast?"
"She's not as pretty as the boss lady. Does the boss like this one?"
"Don't talk nonsense. How can someone cheat on their partner and bring him to the company?"
"Who's familiar with the secretary? Can you find out some information?"
"You're kidding! Those secretarial staff have mouths that are as welded as iron. They can't pry anything out of them."
...
Liu Xinyan didn't know that her appearance had triggered discussions within the company. After returning home, she first changed into comfortable pajamas, took a nap after lunch, and had a home spa in the afternoon.
During this period, she did not respond to Cheng Yu's calls and messages.
In fact, when she opened the door of the lounge, the scene she saw didn't make her angry.
Chang Ling and Cheng Yu didn't do anything. Chang Ling just sat opposite him, leaning forward, reaching out to grab Cheng Yu's arm, looking very emotional.
Chang Ling was startled when she saw Liu Xinyan come in, and she quickly sat up straight. Cheng Yu was also slightly stunned.
To be honest, Liu Xinyan was a little disappointed that she didn't see the scenes she wanted to see, but it was enough for her to perform.
However, Chang Ling was there at the moment, and in order to avoid this variable affecting her performance, Liu Xinyan decided to wait until night.
So she didn't ask anything, just put the soup given by Gao Shujun on the table, told Cheng Yu the purpose of her visit, and prepared to leave.
As soon as he went out, he ran into Zhang Xian. He looked so anxious that it seemed like he was trying to hide something.
When Liu Xinyan heard the noise behind her, she curled her lips slightly, talked to Zhang Xian, and left.
...
Cheng Yu, who hadn't received a reply from Liu Xinyan for the entire afternoon, was unusually anxious in the office.
It’s not that he feels guilty. Not to mention that so many years have passed, even in the past he didn’t like Chang Ling that much, let alone be obsessed with her.
In the past, he would not bother to explain these things. In fact, he did not intend to tell Liu Xinyan what happened today.
But who would have thought that Gao Shujun would suddenly ask Liu Xinyan to deliver soup, and she actually came.
Unfortunately, there was not a single employee on the 28th floor at that time.
Cheng Yu pinched his brows and thought to himself that he should finish the work first and then go home to deal with personal matters in the evening.
