Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

"Yes, he's just an ordinary office worker."

Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly, with an indifferent expression.

Let whoever wants to show off go ahead.

Tian Yawen is constantly pestering her; they must have had a terrible karmic connection in their past lives.

At the end of his sentence, he changed the subject again: "A junior employee should naturally keep a low profile. If he were a manager or something, I would be like Tian Yawen and show off every day."

Tian Yawen, who had just shown a smug look, immediately fell apart upon hearing what followed.

Isn't this obviously mocking her for being a show-off?

With a glare, he immediately became impolite.

"Ye Cheng, what do you mean?!"

Ye Cheng blinked her eyes, looking aggrieved: "It's just about the difference between a husband who's a junior employee and a senior manager, nothing more."

Several colleagues who were watching the commotion chuckled to themselves.

Tian Yawen's face turned green.

Wang Yu laughed and said, "I heard that bastard surnamed Guo mention that Huifeng Investment Company is full of hidden talents. Apart from the gatekeepers and cleaners, everyone is a professional and a business elite. There are no ordinary employees like we thought."

She and Tian Yawen had a falling out over a few words at the last company dinner, and now the two are at odds.

Tian Yawen snorted: "Go ahead and brag. You don't even need to think before you start."

Hua Zhixin said, "What nonsense! Just look at how President Qin pursued Moon Island for five years. Huifeng Investment's international projects are worth hundreds of billions or even trillions. When they negotiate a big project, the bonus is—"

Big Mouth Flower is at it again, messing with his friend.

Ye Cheng immediately interrupted Hua Zhixin with a look.

She didn't want to bring up the bonus issue; nowadays, most people look down on you for being poor, fear you for being rich, hate that you have it, and laugh at that you don't.

She didn't want to flaunt her wealth, nor did she want to incur hatred.

Moreover, in Shenzhen, where land is incredibly expensive, that amount of money could only buy a modest apartment of a few dozen square meters at most, which wouldn't be enough to show off.

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked, "By the way, Tian Yawen, last time I overheard you chatting with Chen Qianru, didn't you say that your husband also wanted to switch jobs to Huifeng?"

Tian Yawen choked.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yu overheard my private conversation with Chen Qianru about this topic.

She rolled her eyes, and retorted, "Heh, I was just saying it casually, you actually took it seriously."

Wang Yu teased, "That's true. It's not like you can just get into Huifeng. Staying in a small company as a senior executive is actually not bad."

Tian Yawen's face fell, and her expression became even more unpleasant.

Wang Yu ignored her and did whatever provoked her.

"Look at our Sister Orange, she got married late in life and found a treasure. Her husband is good-looking, has a great physique, and is very capable. It sounds like a fairy tale. To be honest, I'm so envious."

"It seems that good men can't be rushed. I'll just let things take their course and wait for my Prince Charming, haha."

Ye Cheng's lips curled up in a smile as she listened.

The man in her family was truly a treasure to her.

God really knows how to play tricks. He dragged her to 29 by sheer willpower and then, in a completely inexplicable way, arranged for her to have a wonderful child.

This incredible fate is simply unbelievable.

Ye Cheng was grinning foolishly when a sarcastic voice drifted over.

"She just got lucky, does she really think she married a CEO from a novel? She's grinning from ear to ear!"

Chen Qianru chimed in with a cold laugh.

Ye Cheng withdrew her grin that stretched to her ears and cleared her throat.

I know my expression was a bit off, but my lips are raw from kissing, not laughing.

Hua Zhixin clicked her tongue twice: "This is such blatant jealousy. She married a good husband and now she can't even be laughed at?"

Wang Yu also scoffed, "Exactly, you can show off, but you can't enjoy it yourself?"

Chen Qianru choked twice.

He turned to Tian Yawen and said, "Yawen, I believe you're determined to win the Moon Island copywriting this time!"

Hua Zhixin chuckled: "Orange, I also believe in your abilities. Keep it up!"

Ye Cheng nodded solemnly: "Okay! This time, floor the gas pedal!"

She was indeed very unwilling to lose to Tian Yawen last time, even though it was the most perfect case in her career.

Perhaps, as Ji Lingfeng said, the problem lies with the decision-makers on the other side, who lacked foresight.

She didn't believe that even the decision-makers at Huifeng lacked foresight this time.

……

After lunch, Ye Cheng consulted a large amount of information about the first and second phases of Moon Island and organized it for her own reference.

After a busy afternoon, I plan to have a barbecue with Hua Zhixin at a restaurant near the company after get off work.

A while ago, one of them was running a stall, and the other was in a relationship. They hadn't gone out for dinner together in a long time.

As soon as they arrived downstairs at the company, Hua Zhixin started chattering away.

"Orange, why won't you let me talk about the bonus today? These days, everyone only cares about money, not people. We should use money to put those troublemakers in their place."

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Hey, don't people online say that you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, or you'll die young? Besides, once this money is used to buy a house, there won't even be any money left."

Hua Zhixin asked, "Is there any progress on the house?"

Ye Cheng sighed, "Not yet. The current housing prices are too bizarre. I can't wait to settle down as soon as possible, preferably with full furnishings and move-in ready, so that I can vacate his friend's house. He might be getting married soon."

During this period, she noticed that housing prices were unstable, so she kept an eye on the market and dared not make a purchase.

She didn't want to be taken advantage of; buying the house might turn her into a liability and make her the laughingstock of the office.

As he spoke, his phone vibrated twice in his bag.

Ye Cheng took out her phone and swiped the screen; it was yet another inexplicable spam text message.

Miss Ye, may we meet now?

"You big dummy, you've been targeted by a pig butchering scam again lately."

Ye Cheng cursed and threatened to delete it.

My phone vibrated again, and I received another text message, this time containing a photo.

Click to enlarge the photo, and a lovely young boy and girl will come into view.

Ye Cheng paused, stunned for a moment.

In the photo, the girl is clinging to the boy's arm like a little bird, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a smile as beautiful as a flower.

The boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old. His handsome features, with their distinct angles, still showed a hint of immaturity, and his brows carried a coldness and aloofness that seemed to come naturally.

Ye Cheng was slightly dazed; wasn't this just a younger version of Ji Lingfeng?

"What are you looking at?"

Hua Zhixin was puzzled. She peeked at her phone screen, her eyelids twitched, and she opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Orange, isn't this handsome young man your husband?"

Ye Cheng looked at the photo, her lips twitching as she smiled: "Heh, look at him, he really has been handsome since he was a child."

Hua Zhixin said in a gentle but irritating tone, "You're still laughing? The legendary childhood sweetheart! Who sent you the photo?"

Ye Cheng tapped the screen: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the little beauty in the photo."

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Grandpa Ji said his grandson has never had a girlfriend."

Hua Zhixin said anxiously, "It would be abnormal for a man like him to have never been in a relationship. Besides, his grandfather said he had never had a girlfriend, but he didn't say he had a childhood sweetheart."

Ye Cheng was puzzled: "Everyone has a past. I've dated a dozen so-called boyfriends, but we've all gotten our marriage certificates. What does it mean for them to send me these photos now?"

She hadn't even had a proper wedding ceremony, and her relationship with her husband was just starting to progress, when a childhood sweetheart appeared?
