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

Liang Liangwei was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it wasn't surprising that the bodyguards arranged by Yan Zhixu would report everything to him in detail and find out soon.

"You already knew?"

Xu Chaofeng: "President Yan doesn't know yet. What he's talking about is very important and can't be interrupted. Someone told me about it, so I'm calling you while I'm printing some documents. Ms. Liang, are you alright?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's okay. Luckily, those two people arrived in time and beat up the bad guys for me. I'm home now."

Xu Chaofeng: That's good. Please be careful when you go out, Miss Liang. Those two people will continue to protect your safety in secret.

Liang Liangwei: "When did they make these arrangements?"

Xu Chaofeng: "President Yan made the arrangements before returning to America."

Liang Liangwei muttered, "They didn't even tell me. I was startled when they rushed out just now."

Xu Chaofeng: "Miss Liang has been frightened."

“It happened so suddenly, and it’s not your fault,” Liang Liangwei bit her lower lip and said, “How long until you’re back?”

Xu Chaofeng: "It will be soon, but it's hard to say exactly. It depends on when these things can be agreed upon. We are still negotiating the terms of concessions."

Liang Liangwei: "Is it very difficult? Is he compromising with the other party?"

If it's really that difficult, we can just refuse the business from that country; it's not a particularly important one.

Xu Chaofeng: "No, it's the other party that's compromising, because President Yan's offer is too tempting."

Liang Liangwei blinked: "Is the other party begging him?"

Xu Chaofeng smiled, looking quite proud: "You could say that."

Liang Liangwei couldn't help but laugh; her boyfriend was actually quite amazing!

She paused, clutching the blanket in front of her, and said, "Assistant Xu, could you please pass on a message for me..."

Xu Chaofeng: "What is it? Miss Liang, please speak, I will definitely convey it."

Liang Liangwei said slowly and deliberately, "Please tell him for me—I miss him so much."

~

I miss him so, so much.

Yan Zhixu edited the recording of these words and played it repeatedly in his ear.

The woman spoke these words softly, like a gentle breeze or a warbling oriole, subtly nibbling at his heart, keeping him awake all night and unable to find peace.

He missed her very much.

I'm almost going crazy with desire!

However, it was already past midnight when the meeting ended, and she should have been asleep long ago. He couldn't very well wake her up at this hour to tell her that he missed her too.

He would secretly send the people attending the meeting away so that he would have time to deal with his personal matters.

After Xu Chaofeng told him about Liang Liangwei's dangerous situation, he instantly became furious.

But the next moment, Xu Chaofeng brought him a sentence that haunted his dreams, which immediately turned his anger into a lake of gentle water.

Ignoring the possibility of losing his composure in front of his subordinates, he paced back and forth in the living room for a while before calming down and muttering to himself, "No, I can't drag this out any longer. I need to finish the negotiations as quickly as possible."

He looked at Xu Chaofeng and said, "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, you don't need to ask me again. Go and contact the Indonesian Ministry of Commerce. Change the third clause according to their requirements, and keep the rest as they are. If they have no objections, arrange to sign the contract that day. Then you buy plane tickets, and we'll go to Saudi Arabia."

Xu Chaofeng: "Okay, President Yan."

The following afternoon, Liang Liangwei received clients at the company.

After the customer left, she made herself a latte and scrolled through the news on her phone while drinking it.

She was stunned when she suddenly came across a breaking news item.

Rising model Sheng Wei was assaulted by passersby after making inappropriate advances towards a girl, resulting in his hospitalization. His agency has decided to terminate his contract, citing his poor image as a reason. Once confirmed, Sheng Wei will face substantial compensation claims for breach of contract due to negative image damage, potentially ending his modeling career...

Didn't Shen Zhengming promise her he'd only give her a warning? Why is he making such a big fuss?

Although, it still felt pretty satisfying~

Moreover, the news report not only protected her privacy but also easily covered up the bodyguard's identity by simply stating that he was a "passerby who acted bravely," which was a clever move.

Shengwei has only himself to blame; it'll be hard for him to cause any more trouble in the future.

It's a pity, though, that the magazine cover is definitely not going to be used, and all her hard work for that half-day was for nothing.

Oh, and perhaps there's another advantage: if she loses a magazine cover star, the magazine will definitely find someone else and ask her to do another shoot, meaning she can earn some money from it.

She took a sip of her latte and sent Shen Zhengming a WeChat message: "Did you do the Shengwei thing?"

Shen Zhengming: [Yes, I've already sent someone to issue a warning.]

Liang Liangwei: [Keep pretending.]

Shen Zhengming: [What are you pretending for?]

Liang Liangwei sent him the news article she had just read: "Hmm, this 'warning' is really powerful!"

A few minutes later, Shen Zhengming replied: "[It wasn't me. I really just had someone warn him as you said.]"

Liang Liangwei was stunned. If it wasn't him, then who could it be?

Suddenly, she remembered that Xu Chaofeng, who had called her last night, also knew about this. Could it be that Yan Zhixu had someone do it?

Liang Liangwei: [Oh, then it was probably leaked by someone else.]

Shen Zhengming didn't continue the topic: "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

Liang Liangwei hesitated for a moment: [I've been having dinner with President Shen quite frequently lately~ (cute)]

Shen Zhengming called directly: "What, do you have a problem with me?"

Liang Liangwei: "How could that be? It's just that I often have to work overtime and my off-get off work time is unpredictable. When you invite me to dinner, it always reminds me of how busy I am, like a working ox."

Shen Zhengming: "Who told you to schedule your time so full?"

Liang Liangwei: "I thought capitalists liked to see others work like slaves."

Shen Zhengming was both amused and exasperated: "Am I that bad?"

Liang Liangwei: "Just kidding, Mr. Shen, please don't mind."

Shen Zhengming: "Let's make a deal."

Liang Liangwei: "Hmm?"

Shen Zhengming: "Don't call me President Shen anymore, just call me by my name. Otherwise it will seem too formal. What if you call me that next time we go to see the leader together? How am I supposed to respond?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It's just a form of address, why are you so concerned about it?"

Shen Zhengming, however, said in a serious tone: "I really do care about it."

Liang Liangwei hesitated for a moment: "Okay. But I really can't tonight. I have to work overtime. I've been getting a lot of photography work lately, and I need to stay at the company to do post-production. I have an appointment to submit it."

Shen Zhengming: "Whenever you have time, you can take the initiative to ask me out."

Liang Liangwei laughed and said, "Then you must be feeling really wronged, having to wait for someone to ask you out~"

Shen Zhengming said gently, "I'm not wronged in our relationship."

Liang Liangwei: "That won't do either. You're the CEO, so I have to give you face. I can't let a mere director like you control you."

Shen Zhengming was about to say something when a knock on the door interrupted him.

Liang Liangwei overheard this and quickly said, "You're busy, don't chat about personal things during work hours~ Bye-bye."

Shen Zhengming's expression darkened slightly when he heard the phone being hung up.
