On the other end of the phone, Anxin was clearly on the verge of a breakdown. He didn't know what kind of terrifying aura Lin Ruoxi exuded to make Anxin, who had always been bold, so afraid.
Yang Cheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on, and said, "Tell me the exact location in the central park. I'll go find you guys now."
Yang Cheng felt that he had to go and drag Lin Ruoxi back like last time before that stubborn woman would give up.
Anxin immediately told him the exact location as if she had been freed. She even added, "Hubby … in the future, whether or not I can give birth to a baby for you depends on whether or not you can save me from Sister Lin's evil claws today …"
When he heard this, Yang Cheng almost fell off the bed.
Although Yang Cheng tried his best to be as fast as possible, it still took him more than half an hour to reach the central park in Zhonghai.
There were many people jogging in the park in the morning, but it was close to lunchtime, so there weren't many people moving around. Yang Cheng followed the location Anxin gave him and quickly found a recreation area beside a man-made lake.
At a glance, two familiar figures were right in front of him.
Today, Lin Ruoxi was wearing a white blouse, a green Korean-style casual jacket, and a pair of skinny jeans, which outlined the perfect curves of her body. It was an unofficial outfit.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi was standing in front of a plushie table. There were two large baskets of plastic balls in front of her. She kept picking them up and throwing them at a pile of plushie placed on a stair not far from her.
However, he didn't know if this sister was doing it on purpose, but every time she threw the balls, she would brush past the plushie of all sizes! She just couldn't hit them!
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi's pretty face was flushed and her forehead was covered in sweat, she must have been throwing for a long time. Fortunately, she had amazing perseverance, and her eyes were still so focused.
Not far from Lin Ruoxi, Anxin was wearing a purple top and a light violet skirt. She was originally a charming beauty, but at this moment, because her whole body was sore and her legs were weak, she was dispiritedly rubbing her calves and arms from time to time. Her face was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
What made Yang Cheng not know whether to laugh or cry was the owner of the game booth. It was an auntie in her fifties or sixties. The auntie was currently lying on the table next to the booth, dozing off.
When Yang Cheng walked closer, Anxin immediately looked as if she had seen her savior. She jogged up to Yang Cheng and tugged at his arm. She gave a look to Lin Ruoxi and said, "Hubby, hurry up and talk to Sister Lin. She's about to go berserk!"
Yang Cheng patted Anxin's face to stop her from talking. He walked to Lin Ruoxi's side and pursed his lips. "Ruoxi darling, is winning or losing this game that important?"
Lin Ruoxi finally saw Yang Cheng. She frowned slightly and glanced sharply at Anxin, who was as silent as a cicada in winter. Obviously, she immediately thought that it was Anxin who had "tipped off" her. She pouted and said, "Are you here to help your little lover persuade me, or are you here to persuade me yourself?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Both."
"When I was negotiating with you, I don't think it was mentioned that I'm not allowed to compete with your lover in games!" Lin Ruoxi said unhappily.
"There's no such clause, but even if it's for yourself, you can't just smash here for the whole day!" Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi lightly snorted, "Who said I'm going to smash here for the whole day … I … When I was practicing at home, I clearly hit the third one. I don't know what's wrong with me today. Otherwise, I would have hit it long ago. If I hit it a few more times, I would definitely hit it. "
Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Isn't it just a game? Why do you have to be so serious?"
"I just don't want to lose to her, can't I?" Lin Ruoxi said with a huff. At the same time, she looked at Anxin who had a pleading expression on her face, "I don't believe that she can hit it, but I can't."
"Isn't there a lot of things that you can do that Anxin can't do? There are always things that people are good at and not good at. You're already very outstanding. How many women can manage such a large company? Do you have to surpass others in everything? "Yang Chen tried to persuade her.
It seemed that these words were more effective. The sharpness in CEO Lin's eyes receded a bit, and her cold face became a bit more gentle. She said, "Alright then, let's stop here for today."
As soon as she heard that Lin Ruoxi wanted to stop, Anxin immediately jumped for joy and ran to Lin Ruoxi's side gratefully. She pulled on Lin Ruoxi's hand and said, "Sister Lin, I knew that you wouldn't be so heartless. That's right, you're so troublesome. How can I compare to you? Please spare me. Don't waste your precious time on a nobody like me."
Lin Ruoxi said with a straight face, "Don't think too much. I only said that we'll stop here for today. When I'm done, we'll come again."
"…"
If it wasn't for Yang Cheng supporting her, Anxin's eyes would have rolled back and she would have fainted.
Since it was already lunchtime, the three of them naturally went to find a restaurant to eat. Yang Cheng brought the two women to a quiet western restaurant and ordered three New York steak sets. They chatted as they ate.
Although Anxin was obviously the third party, there was no awkward atmosphere at all on such an occasion.
Anxin was really afraid of Lin Ruoxi. Her words were full of sarcasm and she tried her best to make Lin Ruoxi feel more comfortable.
Yang Cheng saw Anxin's fawning look and felt a little pitiful. However, he couldn't be too obvious in front of his wife to help his lover. After all, Lin Ruoxi sat down to eat with her lover peacefully. She was already very tolerant.
Therefore, Yang Chen could only turn a blind eye to it and pretend that nothing had happened.
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi thought of something. She turned to Yang Cheng and said, "Yesterday, I received a message from the Paris branch. This year's Paris Fashion Week will be delayed. It will be held in mid-April. At that time, you will be the representative. I have to deal with some things about the new material products, so I won't go."
Yang Cheng was dazed. Paris Fashion Week? That was the most prestigious fashion week in the world. Compared to "Milan" and "New York", the Paris Fashion Week had always been superior. It wasn't rare for Yu Lei to receive an official invitation. However, asking an uneducated man like him to go and see the fashion culture was like playing the lute to a cow.
"Why don't you let Qianni or Mingyu go?" Yang Cheng asked in confusion.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "Qianni and Mingyu are my right-hand men now. They have a lot of other important things to do, so I can't let them go. However, I will arrange a few other headquarter staff to go with you. You can lead the team. I don't want you to understand too much or cooperate too much. It's just that I really can't find anyone else suitable. Right now, you are the most free person in the senior management of Yu Lei. "
Yang Cheng blushed with shame. So she took a fancy to him because he had nothing to do all day.
"Director, just go. If I wasn't busy hosting the Star of Yu Lei, I would like to go too …" Anxin's eyes were filled with excitement. Clearly, for someone as active as her, the Paris Fashion Week was an interesting event.
"Even if you are free, you are not allowed to go unless you go under your own name," Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
Anxin instantly lowered her head and replied with an "Oh". She didn't dare to say anything else.
Yang Cheng looked at the pitiful Anxin and couldn't help but say, "Look at you, why are you scaring Anxin? She's just saying that."
"I'm not scaring her," Lin Ruoxi said with an unfriendly expression, "I am managing the employees of my branch company as the CEO. Since she is your secretary, she should do the work of a secretary. Now that she is overstepping her position to host the event, she is already giving her special privileges. I'm not targeting her because of her other identity."
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose. He really had nothing to say. When it came to the system and work, of course, he couldn't argue with Lin Ruoxi.
"Oh right, how's Hui Lin's audition going?" Yang Cheng hadn't seen Hui Lin for the past two days because he was busy with other things and didn't know about the girl's audition.
"To think that Hui Lin cares about you so much. You don't even know that Hui Lin passed the audition?" Lin Ruoxi glared at Yang Cheng unhappily.
Anxin raised her head again. The grievance she felt earlier was gone. She smiled and said, "After the competition last night, Hui Lin got the 'PASS' from the three judges. She can directly enter the elimination round."
Yang Cheng wasn't surprised. Hui Lin's voice was ethereal and melodious. Coupled with her long professional training and hard work, she couldn't even pass the audition. As the director, he had to check if the staff was involved in shady dealings.
"Then should we celebrate for her? After all, it's a glorious thing to have a singer in our family." Yang Cheng suggested.
"Let's wait until Hui Lin becomes the champion," Lin Ruoxi said calmly.
Yang Cheng laughed, "Are you so sure that your sister will become the champion?"
"Isn't she?" Lin Ruoxi sounded proud.
"She definitely will. Hui Lin's singing is much better than many famous singers," Anxin cheered for her sister.
Yang Cheng shook his head. Of course, he hoped that Hui Lin could become the champion. However, it still depended on the professional judges. He didn't have the habit of shady dealings. Yu Lei didn't lack money, so he didn't need to give face to anyone.
When he was halfway through his steak, Yang Chen's phone rang.
Yang Cheng picked it up. It was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a while before picking it up.
"Is this Yang Cheng?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar.
Yang Cheng replied, "You are …"
"What's wrong? It's only been a while and you don't remember me?" The voice laughed amiably. "I'm Cai Yuncheng, the father of Cai Ning and Choi Yeon. We've met once."
Cai Yuncheng?
Of course, Yang Cheng remembered him. He went to Cai Family's residence to treat Yang Lie's injuries. They had met once. Cai Yuncheng was an average-looking, honest man. This was Yang Cheng's first impression of Cai Yuncheng. He didn't have a good or bad impression, but he was a man that wasn't easy to remember.
"I just couldn't react in time. General Cai, what's the matter?" Yang Cheng remembered that Cai Yuncheng was also a general, but he didn't know his exact rank.
Cai Yuncheng said, "There's something that I need you to fulfill your promise. I just don't know if you're free today."
Yang Cheng was deep in thought. Suddenly, he recalled what Abbess Yun Miao had said. He stood up from his seat and ignored Lin Ruoxi and Anxin's suspicious gaze. He walked to a quiet corner and asked, "Should I congratulate General Cai for becoming the new 'general' of Yellow Flame Iron Brigade?"
