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

Yan Zhixu also left the reception room and walked towards his office.

Lisa followed closely behind: "Vito, I sent you a message yesterday, why didn't you reply?"

Yan Zhixu did not respond, but said coldly, "What are you doing here without saying a word? Aren't you busy enough with the projects in North America?"

Lisa: "No, the projects over there have been ongoing. I've assigned trustworthy people to handle the second and third-tier projects, and I'm personally overseeing the first-tier ones. They can also be handled here."

Yan Zhixu: "President Xue has arranged an office for you, aren't you going to take a look?"

Lisa: "It's the same whether I go and see it after he's made the arrangements."

Yan Zhixu sneered: "It seems you don't really care about the state of the office. If that's the case, why did you make things so difficult for President Xue just now? You're an adult now, why are you still throwing this kind of tantrum!"

Lisa's face was pale. She glanced at Xu Chaofeng following behind her, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and said while suppressing her anger, "It won't happen again. I accept the arrangement."

Xu Chaofeng frowned, pretending to be deaf and blind, and stepped forward to open the office door for Yan Zhixu.

Yan Zhixu's mobile phone is connected to the office's smart system, and the door will automatically unlock when she is 2 meters away from the office.

After entering the room, he strode to his desk, took off his coat, and was about to throw it on the chair.

But Lisa stepped forward and snatched it away mid-air, giving him a gentle smile and chiding, "Why are your clothes lying around like that? They wrinkle easily, let me hang them up for you—"

Yan Zhixu frowned and gave Xu Chaofeng a cold glance.

Xu Chaofeng understood and immediately stepped forward to take the coat from Lisa, saying, "Miss Lisa, this is what I should do for President Yan."

He quickly hung the coat on the coat rack by the wall.

Lisa's hand fell empty, she pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.

Looking at Yan Zhixu, he asked with a smile, "Have you had breakfast? I haven't eaten yet. Should I have someone order two servings?"

Yan Zhixu unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down, saying casually, "I've already eaten at home."

Lisa scrutinized his indifferent expression and tentatively asked, "Does someone at home prepare breakfast for you?"

Yan Zhixu extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray: "Is it strange? Otherwise, what am I supposed to eat and drink when I get home?"

Lisa: "Oh, you hired a maid, right?"

Yan Zhixu's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not respond.

Lisa took it as a yes and said, "Then have her make me one tomorrow too, so I won't have to buy it outside."

After hanging up her clothes, Xu Chaofeng silently stood in front of her desk, holding a tablet and scrolling through the screen without looking to the side.

Normally, he would come in at this time to check the day's schedule with President Yan, but now... he can only silently wait for President Yan's instructions.

Yan Zhixu was actually getting a little impatient: "We don't have any containers at home, so it's not easy to carry them. You can eat wherever you want."

Lisa: "How can it be the same? I don't know anyone here, I don't even know where to eat. Why don't you take me around to eat for a few days?"

Yan Zhixu: "Am I really that free?"

Lisa: "No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to eat, right?"

Yan Zhixu's face darkened: "What exactly are you here for? If you want to travel and kill time, go find someone else!"

Seeing that he was angry, Lisa softened her tone and said, "I told you before, didn't you want to invest in the Hezhou project in China? I want to participate, and that's why I came here this time."

Yan Zhixu: "No."

Lisa: "Why? I feel I'm capable of participating."

Yan Zhixu: "The Hezhou project is of great importance. The project has already reached its capacity in terms of funding, investment, and manpower. I need to personally oversee it. There is no place for you."

Lisa rolled her eyes and asked, "So, where did your funding come from?"

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Xu Chaofeng paused in her hand movements and glanced at the two sides arguing without making a sound.

Yan Zhixu glanced coldly at Lisa and said, word by word, "You seem to be particularly, particularly interested in the Hezhou project. May I ask why?"

His gaze was so sharp that Lisa felt as if she were being choked. Her face changed, and she hurriedly said, "No, I just overheard you talking about it with Grandpa that day, and he seemed very interested, so I—"

Yan Zhixu: "He would ask more questions about any project I decided to invest in, and it wasn't just the Hezhou project."

Lisa swallowed hard and said, "...Fine, if you won't let me participate, I can at least learn from you, right?"

Yan Zhixu: "You haven't graduated yet? Are you here to learn?"

Lisa clenched her fist, somewhat annoyed: "Why do you insist on refusing my participation?"

Yan Zhixu: "I'd like to ask you why you insisted on getting involved?"

A hint of guilt flashed across Lisa's face as she avoided his gaze, took a step back, and said, "If you don't want me to participate, then you don't want me to participate... There's something else. I'm staying in a hotel right now, which is very inconvenient. Do you have a place? Could you lend me one to stay in, or could you arrange for me to stay nearby, wherever you live?"

Yan Zhixu turned to Xu Chaofeng: "Go find a suitable neighborhood, buy a new apartment, and give her the keys."

Buy it now?

Lisa's eyes widened: "You must own many houses, why won't you lend me one?"

Yan Zhixu said coldly, "Isn't the newly bought house mine? Is there anything else? I need to get busy."

Xu Chaofeng stepped forward at the opportune moment and said respectfully, "Ms. Lisa, I will give you the house key later. Mr. Yan, you have a busy schedule today, with a meeting in a little while..."

Lisa was furious. She hadn't achieved any of her goals today, and even this assistant dared to interrupt her!

Not daring to confront Yan Zhixu directly, he glared at Xu Chaofeng and turned away angrily.

Xu Chaofeng: "..."

Is it really necessary? He's completely innocent, okay?

After reciting the itinerary, Xu Chaofeng glanced at Yan Zhixu's expression and asked, "President Yan, what size house should we arrange for Miss Lisa?"

Yan Zhixu: "You decide. I have two requirements: First, stay away from my apartment. Second, stay away from Weiwei's apartment."

That's very much in line with President Yan's style.

Xu Chaofeng: "Okay, I understand."

Yan Zhixu loosened his tie: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Chaofeng thought for a moment and said, "By the way, yesterday, Wang Linhao called to ask me when I would reply to his company, since he had also submitted a proposal for the project."

Yan Zhixu looked up: "Wang Linhao? Who?"

Xu Chaofeng reminded, "It's that real estate developer who sent the fake 'Summit of the Iceberg' to Le Peier. We had agreed beforehand that he would come forward to explain 'Summit of the Iceberg,' and we would accept his proposal."

Yan Zhixu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "It was only agreed that it was 'acceptance,' when did it mean we'd actually let him participate? A real estate developer wanting to participate in a chip project is clearly just throwing money at high-tech. It's only 50 million, do you think I need that kind of investment?"

Xu Chaofeng: "Then should I refuse him?"

Yan Zhixu: "Any excuse will do."

Xu Chaofeng: "Okay."
