The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

Liang Liangwei strolled around the nearby streets. The central commercial street of Shacheng was quite bustling, especially with many snack shops.

She chose a small hot pot restaurant, ordered her favorite ingredients, and waited for the broth to be served before starting to cook the tenderloin.

The tender, smooth brisket was an ultimate pleasure. She ate with her eyes half-closed, wondering why Yan Zhixu had given her that mocking look.

Did she say something wrong that offended him?

She carefully recalled the conversation on the stairs, wondering if she had been too proactive and made him feel that she had overstepped her bounds.

After all, she is now his nephew's "girlfriend," and given this relationship, it is indeed not appropriate for her to get too close to him.

It is also inappropriate to call him "General Manager Yan".

At least that's how it works for him.

She took out her phone and opened Yan Bei'an's WeChat window. Their conversation was still at noon when she asked him when he was going to come out, and he responded with a series of dots and a dead emoji.

Asking about this once a day is enough. If you ask too many times... what if the guy gets angry and refuses to pay? Wouldn't all your cooperation over the past two weeks have been for nothing?

He sighed softly and placed his phone face down on the table.

Then another question came to mind.

Yan Zhixu was having dinner at the same table as Le Peier.

Although there were definitely more than just the two of them at the table.

Lin Yi said that Le Peier was joking when she said she wanted to pursue Yan Zhixu, but she knew that it was just a pretext Lin Yi used to keep it a secret.

Le Pei-er is a popular celebrity, and Yan Zhi-xu is the CEO of a well-known luxury brand. One is beautiful, and the other is rich and powerful. Just by looking at their appearances, the two are a very well-matched couple.

Are there few stories of young actresses marrying wealthy patrons in the entertainment industry?

If Le Pei'er really does seduce Yan Zhixu during this meal, and Yan Zhixu accepts her...

As soon as she thought about it, the fragrant hot pot in front of her suddenly didn't smell so good anymore.

She bit the end of her chopsticks, and somewhat resentfully picked up a piece of tripe and put it in the pot, cooking it rather roughly.

At the same time, she secretly made a decision—if Yan Zhixu was really so easily bewitched by Le Peier, then he was no different from those superficial men who only cared about looks, and not worth her pursuing anymore.

At that time, she will give him up!

After blanching the remaining ingredients, we called the waiter to pack them up, paid the bill, and carried them back to the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, she heard someone call her name: "Weiwei!"

She stopped and turned to look.

A tall man strode toward her, his expression a mixture of surprise and delight.

Liang Liangwei instinctively wanted to hide, but there was only one path around, and there was almost nowhere to hide, so she could only watch helplessly as the person approached.

"It really is you!" Fu Yankai stood in front of her, his eyes fixed on her. "I thought I was seeing things. You're developing your career in Shacheng now?"

Liang Liangwei smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I'm here on a business trip."

"Business trip?" Fu Yankai glanced at the takeout box she was carrying, then at the restaurant next door, somewhat puzzled. "Have you not eaten yet, or did you eat before coming here?"

Suddenly realizing something, his expression changed: "You came here to deliver takeout?!"

Liang Liangwei choked, both amused and exasperated: "How could that be? I already said I'm here on a business trip! I don't eat at this restaurant, but the person I need to meet is inside right now."

A complicated look flashed in Fu Yankai's eyes as he said, "You could have eaten inside, why did you bring your own food over... Come on, I'll take you inside to eat."

Liang Liangwei: "No need to spend money, I ate my way here, these... are leftovers that I packed up to bring back."

Fu Yankai was taken aback: "Are you that short of money right now? You're even packing it up..."

Liang Liangwei casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Yes, we are quite short of money. Being alone and adrift in a foreign land, we have to be frugal."

Fu Yankai chuckled and said meaningfully, "As long as you're willing, go back and apologize, and you'll have whatever you want."

Liang Liangwei paused, her expression turned indifferent, and she did not respond.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Fu Yankai paused for a moment, then said, "I saw my uncle last week. He was sick..."

Liang Liangwei's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "What illness? Is he alright?"

Fu Yankai: "It's just the flu. I stayed in the hospital for two days and I've already recovered."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

Fu Yankai: "If you're worried, contact them yourself. No matter how much I relay your concerns, it's not as effective as your own concern."

Liang Liangwei nodded: "I understand, thank you."

Yan Zhixu sat in the main seat at the banquet, with his assistant Xu Chaofeng sitting beside him.

There were indeed quite a few people at the table. Besides him and Xu Chaofeng, half of them were senior executives of the Bosch brand in the Shacheng region of China.

The other half includes the spokesperson, Le Pei'er, and her agent, who were invited to today's press conference at the shopping mall, as well as another male spokesperson and his agent.

There will be a Bosch new product launch event tomorrow, which the male celebrity will attend as the brand ambassador.

Since Yan Zhixu was only staying in Shacheng for one day, the person in charge invited both artists to today's luncheon.

Yan Zhixu was offered two cups of wine, but showed no signs of drunkenness; his eyes remained as cold and aloof as ever.

Le Pei'er, who was sitting opposite him, had been staring at him ever since he entered the private room.

I only met her briefly in Hwaseong last time, and she was very impressed. It's a pity we didn't have a chance to talk, and I've always felt regretful about that.

She couldn't let the opportunity slip by since they'd run into each other here again.

Male artist Guo Weiyi had already toasted him first, and the executives over there had also toasted him. It was her turn now. She exchanged a glance with Lin Yi, smiled, and picked up her glass, standing up: "President Yan, I'd like to toast you..."

Yan Zhixu's phone rang at just the right moment, interrupting her.

Yan Zhixu glanced at the phone on the table; it was an overseas call. He nodded to Le Peier and said, "Wait a moment, I need to take this call."

Le Pei'er had no choice but to sit down first.

Yan Zhixu took her phone and walked to the window, pressed the call button and began to speak fluent foreign language.

After responding a few times, he glanced out the window, his gaze stopping and freezing on a spot outside the restaurant entrance.

The straight-line distance from the window to that place was at least 100 meters, but he could still tell at a glance that the woman in the conversation was Liang Liangwei.

They were chatting and laughing, so they must know each other and be quite familiar with each other.

Can you run into acquaintances while on a business trip?

Does Yan Bei'an know this man?

The man narrowed his eyes, hung up the phone, and calmly opened the camera app, zoomed in on the two people talking, and took a picture.

Then I looked down and felt it wasn't clear enough, so I adjusted it and took several more pictures.

Barely satisfied, he took his phone back to his seat and showed it to Xu Chaofeng.

“Two things,” he said in a low voice, “find out who this man is, and get me a phone with a better camera.”
