Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 41 Fighting for Discounted Fruit with a Group of Middle-Aged Women
The CEO and his wife suddenly stopped in front of a bustling fruit stand by the roadside.
The fruit stand's loudspeaker was blaring out its sales pitch:
"Special offer! Huge special offer! Kiwifruit for only 10 yuan for 3 jin! 3 jin for only 10 yuan! Don't miss out!"
After exchanging a few words, the two...
The scene that shocked Kim Dae-woo has appeared.
Suddenly, the CEO squeezed into the fruit stand crowded with middle-aged women, squatted down, and began picking out discounted kiwis.
Kim Dae-woo's pupils dilated to a magnitude 10 earthquake, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
He even suspected that his eyes were covered with eye discharge, so he rubbed them hard a few times.
Take a closer look.
Absolutely true!!!
That aloof, domineering, and feared billionaire CEO of the Ji Group is currently squatting in front of a fruit stand, fighting with a group of middle-aged women for discounted fruit!
Kim Dae-woo still couldn't believe it, so he quickly pinched his face hard again.
He hit too hard, and the man winced in pain.
Not a dream!
He looked over again.
Even the CEO of the Ji Group, who dominates the business world and can make billions in business with a snap of his fingers, is no match for these middle-aged women who are full of energy when it comes to grabbing fruit!
The tall and imposing CEO was being pushed and shoved by several middle-aged women around him, looking pitiful. He couldn't even grab any fruit; he almost squeezed his way out of the crowd.
Its unique style is truly hard to describe.
Kim Daewoo's stiff facial muscles twitched.
I want to laugh, but I don't dare to.
The president's wife stood to one side, pointing at something.
Finally, the CEO reluctantly managed to snag a bag of kiwis.
The president's wife paid the bill, and the president, still carrying his bags, obediently followed her away.
Seeing Jin Dayu rubbing his eyes and pinching his face, looking like he was mentally challenged, Zhang Yang curiously looked in the direction Jin Dayu was looking.
It's just a bunch of people scrambling for discounted fruit at a fruit stand, nothing special.
"Jin Dayu, what are you pinching for? You can't believe that three pounds of fruit for ten yuan is so cheap? You've been following big bosses all these years, and you're getting further and further away from the lives of us ordinary citizens!"
Seeing that Jin Dayu was still standing there dumbfounded, Zhang Yang reached out and slapped him again:
"The owner of this stall often sells unsold fruit for three pounds for ten yuan at night. If you want to buy, just go and grab it. Why are you standing there like an idiot!"
Kim Dae-woo then came to his senses and muttered, "Who said we were going to buy fruit!"
After saying that, he pushed his friend forward, saying, "Let's go, let's go!"
Throughout the journey, Zhang Yang kept babbling on and on, but he didn't listen to a word he said.
I was still reeling from the shocking scene I had just witnessed.
When did our CEO become so down-to-earth?!
What kind of wife did Grandpa Ji find for President Ji? She made the iceberg-like President Ji seem like he had a new CPU and completely changed!
That's the high and mighty, billionaire CEO of the Ji Group, a man who doesn't allow women to get within five meters of him.
Now, he not only strolls around the streets, but also carries big bags and small bags like a younger brother, and even fights with the older women for discounted fruit at the street stalls!
I've never even imagined such a scene, let alone seen it.
This time, he really saw something new!
As he watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Kim Dayu felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to see the president's wife's face clearly.
After a long pause, he let out a long breath, looking dazed, and sighed, "I don't understand the world of the rich."
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes at him disdainfully: "Jin Dayu, are you possessed today?!"
Kim Dae-woo gave a wry smile: "My eyes are really bewitched!"
……
Let's recreate the famous scene that shocked Kim Dae-woo; it actually went like this:
Ye Cheng and Ji Lingfeng went home after shopping at the mall.
I passed by a fruit stand. The owner was in a hurry to close up shop and was selling fruit at a special price. A bunch of middle-aged women were scrambling to buy some.
Wow! Kiwis are only 10 yuan for 3 jin (1.5 kg), that's so cheap! Let's buy some!
Ye Cheng was immediately drawn to it and exclaimed with delight.
Ji Lingfeng followed.
Ye Cheng craned her neck to look: "Mr. Ji, are you allergic to kiwifruit?"
Ji Lingfeng shook his head blankly, not understanding.
"I'm allergic to the skin of kiwifruit. If it gets on my skin, it will become red and itchy. I always wear gloves when I peel them. Why don't you go and pick three pounds?"
Ji Lingfeng: ...
what? !
He stared blankly down at the group of middle-aged women scrambling around the stall, grabbing the food in a flurry.
Is this woman telling him to go and fight these middle-aged women for fruit?!
He instinctively refused outright: "I'm not going!"
Ye Cheng pressed, "Why?"
Ji Lingfeng looked disgusted and made an excuse: "I don't know how, let the boss choose!"
If this woman knew that she had instructed a billionaire CEO to steal fruit from a street stall, I wonder if she would still be so self-righteous.
Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow:
"That won't do. The boss will definitely stuff all the small and rotten fruit into our hands. If we buy three pounds, maybe not a single pound will be edible. Look here, who let the boss pick their fruit?"
Ji Lingfeng frowned and remained silent.
Without a word, Ye Cheng took the bag from his hand and coaxed the man with a smile:
"Kiwifruit is a great thing. It's not only delicious but also rich in Vitamin C. And it's so cheap, it would be a shame not to buy some. Go ahead, go ahead, do me a favor!"
Ji Lingfeng unwittingly squeezed into the group of middle-aged women, squatted down in front of the fruit stall, and reluctantly picked out some kiwis.
President Ji never imagined that washing dishes would be difficult, but buying fruit would be even more difficult!
Besides, they were competing with older women for it.
Every time he reached out to take the fruit he wanted, it would be snatched away by some middle-aged woman in the next second.
Not only did they steal it, but the women also threw all the misshapen and broken fruits they had picked out in front of him.
Little did he know that wherever there were discounted goods, whether in supermarkets or street stalls, these energetic middle-aged women would rush there, and they would never have any rivals!
After dawdling for several minutes, they still hadn't found many decent fruits.
People were almost pushed and shoved out by the middle-aged women who were scrambling to grab the goods.
Ye Cheng watched anxiously, unable to bring herself to do it.
With her sharp eyes, she noticed a small pile of pretty fruits at the very back of the stall, which the older women couldn't reach because their arms were too short.
She quickly took charge of the scene.
"Over there, all the way in, there are big fruits!"
"Yes, yes, right there! Hurry up!"
Ultimately, under Ye Cheng's guidance, Ji Lingfeng successfully completed the mission by leveraging his long legs and arms.
An older woman who hadn't managed to grab one rolled her eyes at Ji Lingfeng and deliberately shouted at the top of her lungs:
"This young man, so young, is trying to take advantage of us middle-aged women! How dare he!"
Ji Lingfeng's forehead veins throbbed as he listened.
Ye Cheng paid the money with a smile on her face.
Finally, he didn't forget to praise Ji Lingfeng: "Haha, luckily you have the advantage in terms of physical attributes! Otherwise, there definitely wouldn't be enough for the aunties to fight over!"
Ji Lingfeng's face turned pale and then flushed.
How can this woman be so happy about buying discounted fruit!
He silently reached out and took the bags from Ye Cheng's hands, picked them up, and left.
Ye Cheng paused for a moment, then called out, "Mr. Ji, could you carry one of these bags for me?"
"Need not."
The man uttered two words in a cool and indifferent tone, concise and to the point.
When buying clothes earlier, Ji Lingfeng naturally reached out and took the bags from the sales clerk.
I never even considered it.
In his memory, whether it was his grandparents or his parents, it was always the men who took the initiative to do these small things.
This woman is his wife in name only. Regardless of whether he has feelings for her or not, he will follow the Ji family's custom, which is perfectly reasonable.
Ye Cheng, having nothing to show for it, was acting as a hands-off manager, but felt a little uneasy.
Although this cold-faced man was rude in the mall just now, he offered to help carry things without saying a word, so he doesn't seem so bad after all.
If he were a normal man, he might be a loving and devoted husband.
but……
This man also dislikes women getting close to him.
Recalling Ji Lingfeng's icy, piercing gaze in the mall, Ye Cheng still felt a chill run down her spine.
If it weren't for the fact that he and I were husband and wife in name only, and because of my grandfather's sake, those sharp blades would have been stabbing me repeatedly.
365 days a year, wouldn't she be covered in wounds by now!
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng stuck out her tongue.
Of course, Ye Cheng had no idea that this was the first time the man beside her had ever carried things for a woman.
She had no idea that the person who helped her was a billionaire CEO.
