The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

"Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Yi Yichen's voice was quiet, even a bit lazy. But he exuded a powerful energy that was hard to ignore, and even awe-inspiring.

Yi Fengteng shut up immediately under the powerful aura. Lin Jiaojiao's tears stopped immediately, and she hid behind Yi Fengteng, holding his hand tightly.

"Uncle, this is very important." Yi Fengteng's tone softened. The Yi family's parents made it clear that as long as Lin Chusheng went to prison, Lin Jiaojiao would never be able to enter the prison. "Jiaojiao and I are truly in love."

"Your love has nothing to do with me." Yi Yichen frowned, extremely impatient.

Seeing this, Chu Mu performed her duties as a secretary. She stepped forward and gestured, "Please leave," saying, "Mr. Yi, Ms. Lin, Mr. Yi has a meeting soon. Please leave."

Yi Fengteng stared at Chu Mu, his face full of resentment and anger.

Chu Mu ignored them and escorted them out of the office. Yi Fengteng angrily said, "Don't think that just because you're my uncle's secretary, you can turn a sparrow into a phoenix. Let me tell you, my uncle is already married."

Chu Mu remained expressionless, but Lin Jiaojiao was the first to be shocked. Who was this person who could possibly have the best bachelor in Pearl City?

Chu Mu simply replied, "Boss Yi's personal affairs have nothing to do with me."

Seeing her calm and composed look, Yi Feng left angrily.

Chu Mu shrugged and sat at his desk nonchalantly. Suddenly, someone tapped on the table. Yi Yichen looked up. He looked at her and asked with interest, "My private affairs have nothing to do with you?"

"I still remember what Mr. Yi said yesterday. Sleeping with me doesn't mean you love me, and it certainly doesn't mean I can stay by your side and be your woman." Chu Mu raised his chin slightly, feeling a little proud of having caught someone else's tail, like a kitten seeking credit.

"It's best if you can know your own position." Yi Yichen's face was solemn. He turned around and curled the corners of his lips slightly. The smile in his eyes was even more attractive.

"Boss Yi." Chu Mu called Yi Yichen, and he turned around. She continued, "I need to take a leave this afternoon."

"Reason." Yi Yichen hid his expression firmly.

"Go see Stephen Lee." Chu Mu said confidently.

Seeing her at work this morning, he had assumed she'd given up on the Stephen Lee connection. Turns out it was just a stranded relationship, but he wanted to see what kind of waves she could stir up. "Okay. I look forward to hearing from you."

"Thank you, Mr. Yi." After saying that, Chu Mu picked up his bag and left the office in a daze.

Downstairs, Qi Man's car was waiting for her.

Seeing Chu Mu coming out of the building, Qi Man rolled down the car window and waved enthusiastically: "Mumu, here."

Chu Mu trotted over, got on the passenger seat, and entered the destination into the navigation.

Qi Man asked: "Why are you going here?"

Our destination was a residential complex in the suburbs. As the name suggested, it was an old neighborhood with narrow roads, a large population, and frequent traffic jams.

"Looking for emeralds for making crowns." Chu Mu fastened his seat belt.

Qi Man was puzzled. Chu Mu explained the situation with Stephen Lee to her. She exclaimed, "Ah, then we are walking into a tiger's mouth."

"No venture, no gain." Greed and lust are human nature. Besides, the fact that Yi Yichen gave her this open-book question showed that it wasn't the real difficulty.

If Stephen Lee was just lustful, why couldn't Yi Yichen sign this hacker genius?

"As expected of Secretary Chu," Qi Man gave a thumbs-up and added, "I submitted the design draft to E-shine, and I also saw Lin Jiaojiao's work on the official website."

Qi Man handed the iPad to Chu Mu. Lin Jiaojiao's design was a knotted crown, which was quite sweet in appearance. The crown was covered with diamonds and an emerald pendant was hung in the middle.

Chu Mu's design was a complete set of crowns, with a huge emerald in the center and smaller crowns around it inlaid with slightly smaller emeralds, which was grand and elegant.

There are two different styles, and it ultimately depends on which one the British Princess prefers.

Chu Mu put away his tablet and discussed the next steps with Qi Man. The results of the competition would be released in about a week. The design would then be submitted to the British Royal Princess for final approval. The original stone for the crown would also be presented to the royal family for review.

In other words, Chu Mu needs to find usable raw stone materials within two weeks at the latest.

Speaking of this, Qi Man asked, "There's an auction in Zhucheng in a week. Should we go? I heard Lin Jiaojiao will be there too."

"..." Chu Mu was a little shocked and asked, "Didn't Lin Jiaojiao already get the raw stone?"

"Lin Chusheng was detained, so the wedding was postponed." Qi Man added, "Oh, and it's said that the emerald rough stone at the auction was originally intended for Lin Jiaojiao."

"Go." Although Yi Yichen gave Chu Mu and Stephen Lee as a clue, it was always safer to have a Plan B.
