Chapter 9: Chapter 009: Drink a Bottle of Lady Oral Liquid
"Just a joke, no need to be so serious," Ye Chen said with a helpless look on his face, gazing at the object above his head.
Seeing the cold glint flash in Fang Yuqi's eyes, Ye Chen obediently got out of the car. This woman didn't seem to have a good temper. A wise man knows better than to fight with a woman.
The public order in Zhonghai City was chaotic enough, with even a petty traffic cop carrying a weapon, ready to draw at the slightest disagreement. Truly a Supreme Rank pain.
Fang Yuqi felt a surge of satisfaction watching Ye Chen's cautious behavior.
"Officer, I think it's best if you put that thing away. What if there's an accident? That could be dangerous."
It was the busy time of the morning rush hour, with many pedestrians on the streets, which could easily draw a crowd. He didn't want to be gawked at like a monkey at a carnival.
Fang Yuqi snorted coldly and put it away, then took out Ye Chen's driving license and ID card to examine them.
"Look, I just parked illegally because my car ran out of gas. You've checked my driving license and ID card. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
Delayed by Fang Yuqi for so long, it was already past nine o'clock. He could already imagine Su Xiyue's furious expression.
"Don't move, I suspect you are involved in a major robbery in the city. Please come with me to the station," she said.
Fang Yuqi, seeing Ye Chen about to flee, quickly made up a reason. As long as she got him to the station, she would show him.
Ye Chen frowned, his eyes turning cold, "If you've got nothing better to do, find someone else to play with. I've got important things to attend to and can't accompany you."
"You scumbag, you're asking for it!"
Fang Yuqi's anger erupted suddenly, her moves lightning fast and ruthless, employing a grappling technique.
Ye Chen sidestepped slightly, grasped her arm, and with a quick step, twisted Fang Yuqi's arm behind her back.
"Bastard, let go of me right now! I'm telling you, this is a crime," Fang Yuqi said with an ugly look on her face, struggling to free herself from Ye Chen's grasp.
"My dear lady, try not to be so hot-tempered next time. You seem to have symptoms of hormonal imbalance, which is a serious issue. I suggest you drink a bottle of 'Lady's Oral Solution,' which can effectively alleviate your condition," Ye Chen whispered in Fang Yuqi's ear with a light laugh. Before she could react, his figure flashed, and he had vanished from the spot.
Fuming, Fang Yuqi's face turned beet red as she fiercely glanced at the spot where Ye Chen had disappeared, "Ye Chen, you better pray I don't see you again."
...
Su Group of Zhonghai City.
The Su Group was located in the famous Mingyue Building of Zhonghai City. The entire building, spanning over thirty floors, was the corporation's office space, and the group itself was worth billions, standing as a leader among Zhonghai City's emerging conglomerates.
After grabbing a quick bite, Ye Chen leisurely entered the Mingyue Building after the morning rush hour had passed.
"Sir, may I help you?" the receptionist said with a poised and sweet demeanor, representing the company image.
Dressed in a black OL suit, with delicate features and a gentle smile, she was a comforting sight to behold.
Indeed, the Su Group lived up to its reputation as the company with the most beauties in Zhonghai City. Even the receptionist was gorgeous.
Ye Chen leaned on the front desk with his arms and said with a smile, "I'm here to see your CEO, Su Xiyue."
"You're looking for President Su?" The receptionist was slightly startled. Their CEO was famously known as Zhonghai's Ice Queen. Every day, the line of people wanting to see her stretched from the company's front door all the way to the Huangpu River—not just anyone could meet her.
The receptionist gave Ye Chen a quick once-over. Though he was somewhat handsome, his attire didn't suggest that he was from a prominent family. Still adhering to professional protocol, she asked softly, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Of course, I do. She's the one who asked me to come," Ye Chen said nonchalantly. It was Su Xiyue who had demanded that he come to work today—so, wasn't that an appointment?
Hearing that Ye Chen had an appointment and that it was President Su who had initiated it, the receptionist immediately became more respectful. After inquiring about Ye Chen's surname, she quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number.
After connecting, she said with trepidation, "Secretary Ning, I'm the front desk customer service. There's a Mr. Ye here who says he has an appointment with the president, mm-hm, okay, I understand."
The receptionist hung up the phone and respectfully said, "Secretary Ning will be down shortly, please wait a moment."
"Feifei, don't be so formal, we'll be colleagues soon. I'm here for a job interview," Ye Chen said.
The receptionist was wearing a name tag, which Ye Chen glanced at and learned her name.
"A job interview?" Xu Feifei was somewhat surprised. It was past the time for recruitment, and moreover, the company's recruitment of staff didn't require the personal attention of the chairman, did it?
Could he be a relative of a shareholder?
Just then, the sound of high heels striking the floor approached, and a professional-looking beauty with a cold temperament walked over.
This woman seemed to have a commanding presence in the company; wherever she went, all the men would look serious and pretend to be deeply engrossed in their work.
"Mr. Ye, please follow me, President Su has been waiting for you for a long time," said Ning Xue lightly.
Another one spoiled by Su Xiyue, with a cold face.
"Goodbye, Feifei."
Ye Chen gave a warm greeting, touched his nose under Ning Xue's frosty gaze, and followed her into the elevator.
Alone with Ning Xue in the elevator, the silence made Ye Chen a bit uncomfortable. He wanted to say something, but looking at Ning Xue's 'do not approach' expression, he found himself speechless.
The elevator reached the thirtieth floor, which housed the president and senior directors' offices, a place not typically accessible to the average person.
Ning Xue led Ye Chen to the door of the president's office, picked up the phone on the desk, and said, "President Su, Mr. Ye is here."
"Let him in," came Su Xiyue's cold voice from the receiver.
"President Su says you may enter."
With a gesture from Ning Xue, Ye Chen pushed the door open and walked in.
Upon entering, Ye Chen noticed a faint fragrance. The spacious office of over a hundred square meters provided a bright and open feeling, with plants like dracaenas and narcissus flowers adding a touch of freshness to the room.
The crystal chandelier on the ceiling and the tall metal bookshelves all showcased the office's opulence.
But what drew the most attention was the woman behind the mahogany desk, wearing crystal high heels and a black, slim-fitting professional outfit, exuding an icy demeanor.
Her black hair was neatly pinned up, slightly tilting her head down, radiating the aura of an ice queen CEO.
Ye Chen swallowed. Su Xiyue was already very beautiful in normal circumstances, but he hadn't realized that she looked even more stunning when she was immersed in work.
Sitting down in the sofa area, Su Xiyue continued to look down at her documents without acknowledging him. Ye Chen dared not speak first, feeling even less inclined because of his late arrival and not having returned home the night before.
After sitting in silence for ten minutes, Ye Chen couldn't bear it any longer and quietly coughed a few times.
There was no response; Su Xiyue continued writing.
Ye Chen coughed a few more times, but still no reaction.
Forcing me to resort to extreme measures, huh?
Ye Chen pulled out his phone, turned the volume up to the max, and started playing Snake.
His hands exaggeratedly pressed on the phone, and as the snake moved, Ye Chen's entire body swayed in the same direction. Simultaneously, sounds of "eating" came from his mouth, disturbing the quiet office atmosphere.
"Smack!"
Su Xiyue slammed her hand down hard on the desk, causing the books on it to quiver, and glared coldly at Ye Chen.
