Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Why is it You?
"Wife, have you finished?" Ye Chen looked up and asked Su Xiyue, noticing her face was as dark as the sky before a storm, he calmly put away his phone.
"Mr. Ye Chen, please mind your address. In the company, call me President Su." A cold light flashed in Su Xiyue's beautiful eyes, and her body heaved with anger.
"It's now ten twenty, and you are more than two hours late," Su Xiyue said coldly, glancing at her wristwatch.
Speaking of being late, Ye Chen felt wronged, "Being late wasn't really my fault, in the end, it was yours. Who knew the car in your garage would run out of gas halfway."
"My fault? Is it also my fault that you didn't come home last night?" Su Xiyue laughed in anger.
"That's my negligence, and I'm sorry for making you and Wang Ma worry. Next time I'll call home in advance," Ye Chen said with an embarrassed look on his face; he did admit his mistake.
"Who's worried about you?" Seeing Ye Chen's sincere apology, Su Xiyue's face softened a bit.
"Xiyue, baby, what position shall I take if I work in the company?" Ye Chen chuckled. "I'm not asking for much, just make me vice chairman and that'll be fine. As for the salary, I don't need much, a mere million or so will do."
"You wish. The company doesn't have the position of vice chairman," Su Xiyue said with a cold laugh.
Ye Chen glanced at Su Xiyue's face and joked, "You can't possibly be thinking of making me your secretary, right? I hadn't thought you'd be into that."
"Get out, if you talk nonsense again, I'll have you thrown out," Su Xiyue, fuming, with frost written all over her face.
Seeing that Su Xiyue was truly angry, Ye Chen wisely chose to keep quiet, knowing well that she held power over life and death, and she still didn't know what he was there to do.
"I've already arranged your position. Although I am the president of the group, I shouldn't abuse my power. There's an assistant position open in the marketing department, and someone there will tell you about the specifics of the work."
Su Xiyue picked up the phone and said, "Ning Xue, come in."
"President Su."
A few seconds later, Ning Xue knocked and entered.
"Ning Xue, take him to report to Minister Lin in the marketing department."
"Yes, Mr. Ye, please follow me."
Ning Xue led Ye Chen towards the marketing department.
Ning Xue had been Su Xiyue's secretary for many years and had never seen Su Xiyue take the initiative to ask a man out, especially one of such an ordinary appearance, and to her knowledge, there were no shareholders with the last name Ye in the company.
Although curious about what Ye Chen was doing inside for so long, as a secretary, it wasn't Ning Xue's place to ask.
Ye Chen, noticing Ning Xue glancing at him occasionally, chuckled and asked, "Are you curious about who I am?"
Ning Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Come a little closer, and I'll tell you a secret," Ye Chen said mysteriously.
Ning Xue frowned, thought for a second, and seeing that no one was around, she cautiously moved closer to Ye Chen.
Even though she felt that Ye Chen was up to no good, the question was still very tempting to her.
Ye Chen coughed softly, whispering, "I'm only going to tell you this, actually, Su Xiyue is my wife."
"Heh."
Ning Xue's face was cold, full of disdain. In her heart, Ye Chen was already labeled as a pervert. Believing him would be a fool's errand.
What a world, where the truth is not believed, Ye Chen felt a bit speechless.
Since Ning Xue ignored him, he didn't want to bother her any further and contented himself with admiring the beauties instead.
True to the Su Group's notorious gender imbalance.
Along the way, there were beautiful girls everywhere, Ye Chen's eyes almost dazzled.
Taking the elevator to the fifteenth floor, they exited, and Ning Xue led Ye Chen to the marketing department's office area.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and finalize the procedures with Minister Lin."
With that cold phrase, Ning Xue walked in alone.
Not long after Ning Xue left, a beauty walked by from outside.
She appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an oval face, and she was wearing a black business suit that accentuated her white-collar charm.
Especially the charm that danced in her eyes dealt tons of critical damage to men.
"Young man, standing by the marketing department door, do you need something? Perhaps, I can help you," Fangfei Liu said with twinkling big eyes.
Ye Chen coughed twice and said with a serious face, "I am, in fact, the new marketing department assistant."
Fangfei Liu paused, then laughed lightly, "Stop joking, tell me, did you fall for one of our beauties in the marketing department?"
"What if I said I've fallen for you?" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Little rascal," Fangfei Liu rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, then turned and walked inside.
Just then, Ning Xue came out and led Ye Chen into the marketing department.
No sooner had he stepped into the marketing department than Ye Chen caught a peculiar scent, a mix of various perfumes. Looking around, the entire office was filled with women, with hardly any men in sight, all of whom Ye Chen ignored.
For a moment, Ye Chen felt like he was in a kingdom of daughters.
"I've already spoken to Minister Lin; you can go in by yourself," Ning Xue told Ye Chen when they reached the minister's office, then turned and left with chilly words.
"This woman is so temperamental, just because I accidentally peeked," Ye Chen muttered to himself and pushed the door open.
"Don't you know how to knock?" Lin Shiyu, buried in her work, looked up upon hearing the door open, her face grim as she stared at Ye Chen.
Lin Shiyu's voice was very pleasant, wait, why did it sound so familiar?
Ye Chen closed the door, turned around, and nearly popped his eyes out in surprise.
Wasn't Minister Lin the same beauty from the airplane who was also his seat neighbor that day?
At this moment, Lin Shiyu was not wearing the casual attire from that day but donned a white business suit, her long hair pinned up and her frosty face still breathtakingly beautiful.
If it weren't for the misunderstanding at the airport, this would have been the perfect encounter.
"Why is it you?"
Lin Shiyu recognized Ye Chen immediately; after all, he had left a deep impression on her, particularly due to their airport encounter, and seeing him now filled her with indignation.
