"Hmm, Xie Xiaoxiao is quite adept at getting things done—she's gotten another 30 RMB worth of game resources. I wonder if the game company will have any issues with her being their spokesperson, since she's always taking advantage of them."

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Zhang Ziqian chuckled. He had finally had a change of heart and realized how hard Xie Xiaoxiao had worked.

"Huh—, Qin Ning is such a waste. She's only at level 150 so far. I'll send her a message to give her a push."

As Zhang Ziqian approached, she saw Chen Xiao send a message from the game to Qin Ning, whose in-game name was "Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses"—"Your progress is so slow, you've basically lived up to the nickname 'Roadside Lump' halfway through, now you're 'Roadside Half-Lump'."

This man has no manners at all. Zhang Ziqian thought of how Qin Ning looked when she saw her at Xiao Restaurant, looking haggard from playing games. It's really bad luck for her to have such a person.

Why do you have to play games all the time? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Outside, Feng Feifei was giving Shen Yun and Zhao Xiangjun a quick tour before heading to her office to rest.

Just as they were about to walk past the vice president's office area—

Click.

The heavy solid wood door to Chang Fuchun's office was just being pulled open from the inside.

Chang Fuchun was holding a folder, seemingly about to leave for the design department. But when his gaze unconsciously swept down the corridor, he was instantly struck as if by an invisible bolt of lightning! He froze on the spot!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the end of the corridor, bathing Zhao Xiangjun in its glow. She tilted her head slightly, her delicate jawline forming a perfect curve, her long eyelashes lowered, as she spoke gently with Shen Yun, a faint, captivating smile playing on her lips. Her figure, her demeanor, her skin seemingly radiating a soft glow in the sunlight… all combined to create a breathtakingly beautiful scene!

Chang Fuchun's mind went blank with a "buzz"! All his thoughts, all his professional qualities, all his rationality were shattered at this moment by the beauty that surpassed the limits of cognition!

How...how could this be...?

He couldn't even find any words to describe what he saw! This was beyond the level that could be described as "magnificent and luxurious" or "exquisitely beautiful"!

This beauty possessed an ethereal and divine quality, seemingly otherworldly, a pure radiance that made one feel utterly ashamed and insignificant. Feng Feifei's beauty had once stirred his heart and left him restless. But the beauty of the woman before him… suffocated him! A suffocating feeling, as if his soul had been instantly ripped from his body, leaving him adrift in the void, utterly helpless!

He stood frozen in place like a clay or wooden sculpture, his gaze fixed blankly and absentmindedly on Zhao Xiangjun, completely forgetting where he was, the proper etiquette, and everything around him!
This blatant and extremely impolite gaze immediately displeased Shen Yun! The old lady's brows furrowed slightly, and the kind smile on her face faded, revealing a hint of displeasure—she didn't like anyone giving her daughter-in-law such a rude look!

Feng Feifei noticed Chang Fuchun's loss of composure immediately! Her face darkened instantly, as if covered with frost! Her eyes were as cold as the Siberian permafrost! She took a half step forward, cleverly using her body to block Chang Fuchun's uncomfortable gaze, her voice like icicles clashing, carrying undisguised chill and warning, clearly rang out:

"President Chang! Is there anything I can help you with?"

He jolted awake, as if from a dream! He realized just how inappropriate and dangerous his behavior had been! Cold sweat instantly soaked his back!

"No...no! Mr. Feng!" Chang Fuchun's voice was visibly flustered and trembling. He responded almost reflexively and incoherently, "I...I'm going to the design department...to see...to look at the new drawings!" As he spoke, he frantically waved the folder in his hand, as if it were a lifeline.

As Chang Fuchun walked, he couldn't help but look back repeatedly.

If the initial attraction he felt upon first seeing Feng Feifei was like a pebble thrown into a still lake, creating ripples and inspiring longing that was then blocked by mountains, then the shock and attraction brought by this fleeting glimpse was like facing the abyss and galaxy of the universe. It brought not longing, but an almost instinctive tremor of wanting to worship.

Zhao Xiangjun acted as if nothing had happened, gently patting Shen Yun's hand and softly saying, "Mom, shall we go?" She seemed completely unconcerned about the brief disturbance she had caused earlier.

"Mom, sister, let's go to the office. Bai Lu is on her way and will be here in about ten minutes," Feng Feifei said as she led the two to her office to rest.

Bai Lu had originally planned to visit Xishan Linyu alone in a couple of days, but she had just heard that Shen Yun and Zhao Xiangjun had both come to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Park. So she decided to come too, which would save Shen Yun from having to see a daughter-in-law every day, which was quite tiring.

Chang Fuchun returned from the design department, his mind still reeling from the shock of that fleeting glimpse. His steps were unsteady, as if he were walking on cotton.

As soon as he entered the lobby, a familiar figure walked in—Bai Lu. This little princess of the Jiangzhou Design Institute, Feng Feifei's best friend, possessed outstanding temperament and was a rare beauty. Chang Fuchun quickly composed himself, forced a professional smile, and greeted her:
"Hello, Mr. Bai!"

Bai Lu also recognized the technical expert that Dr. Feng had poached at great expense. She nodded slightly and responded politely but distantly, "President Chang."

Chang Fuchun looked at Bai Lu, but the image of that suffocating figure uncontrollably surfaced in his mind again. A thought, like a vine, coiled around him, causing him to speak almost unconsciously, with a hint of probing:
“President Bai, President Feng has important guests with her right now, her mother and sister…” he said, while carefully observing Bai Lu’s reaction.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu glanced at Chang Fuchun with a puzzled look. What did he mean by that? Did he think she wouldn't have informed Fei Fei beforehand? Her tone carried a hint of perfunctory dismissiveness: "I know."

Just when everyone thought the conversation had ended there, Chang Fuchun not only didn't stop, but seemed encouraged by something, and pressed on again, his tone even carrying a hint of urgency:

“I heard… that Mr. Feng’s mother and sister have come…” He deliberately emphasized the word “sister”.

Bai Lu realized that this guy was deliberately trying to trick her into revealing something. What did he want to know?
Given his relationship with Feng Feifei, the question he asked could not possibly touch upon Feng Feifei's interests, otherwise he wouldn't dare to ask him. So what did he want to know?
"Hmm." She decided to wait and see what he was up to, but her gaze towards Chang Fuchun already carried a hint of scrutiny and wariness.

Seeing Bai Lu nod in confirmation again, Chang Fuchun was overjoyed! Overwhelmed by immense anticipation, he lost all sense of reason and restraint! He blurted out, his voice filled with an almost irrepressible longing:

“President Bai…you…you also know President Feng’s mother and…sister, right?” He stared intently at Bai Lu, his eyes filled with longing.

Bai Lu nodded again, a strange thought forming in her mind, and her gaze towards Chang Fuchun became somewhat odd.

Upon receiving the third affirmative response, Chang Fuchun was so excited he almost trembled! He could no longer contain himself and took a step forward, lowering his voice to an even more desperate, almost pleading tone: "President Bai! Then...then could it be...could you...give me President Feng's sister's contact information? I...I..."

really!

Bai Lu's suspicions were completely confirmed! A feeling of absurdity mixed with lingering fear instantly washed over her! She looked at Chang Fuchun meaningfully, even with a hint of pity. Thank goodness! Thank goodness he asked her! He hadn't done anything irreparably foolish! Otherwise, given Feng Feifei's protection of Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun… Chang Fuchun wouldn't just be unable to stay with Dr. Feng, his very survival in Jiangzhou would be in question!

However, Chang Fuchun can't be blamed for this. He didn't know that Zhao Xiangjun was already married. Which man could resist being tempted by Zhao Xiangjun's stunning beauty?

"Mr. Chang, she'll be a mother soon, you'd better not get any ideas."

what--

A short, painful gasp, as if the heart and liver were being torn apart, and those eyes, which had just been full of longing and pleading, instantly lost all their light, leaving only emptiness and an indescribable, bone-deep pain!

God, why is he being treated this way?

She likes Mr. Feng, but Mr. Feng has a boyfriend; then she turns around and sees her older sister, who is even prettier than Mr. Feng, but it turns out that the older sister is already married.

He stared blankly at Bai Lu, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word. He felt as if his entire world had collapsed.

Where in this world...where could he find a woman...who could ever again stir his heart even a fraction?!

Seeing Chang Fuchun's dejected and heartbroken appearance, Bai Lu shook her head, said nothing more, and turned to walk straight out of the elevator. It seemed she had dissuaded him, thus saving Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group from losing a senior executive.

Chang Fuchun was left alone, like a puppet whose soul had been ripped out, standing there blankly, enduring the ultimate blow of "one glimpse and you're doomed for life".

In Feng Feifei's modern yet comfortable CEO office, the atmosphere was harmonious. Shen Jun sat in the most comfortable sofa, holding a warm cup of herbal tea, a satisfied and kind smile on her face.

Before meeting Bai Lu, she had already mentally prepared herself for the fact that the women her son Chen Xiao had found were all exceptional, one in a million! Just as Zhao Xiangjun had jokingly said before, none of them were someone she would be reluctant to "let go" of.

When Bai Lu actually walked in, with her unique pure yet slightly naive charm, and sweetly called out "Mom," Shen Yun's defenses instantly melted.

Bai Lu not only knows how to please Chen Xiao, but she also has a knack for winning over her mother-in-law!
She was more like a pampered princess, knowing how to please her elders in the most natural and comforting way. She would notice when Shen Yun's teacup was empty and immediately get up to refill it with water at the perfect temperature; she would blink her clear, big eyes and listen attentively as Shen Yun told her embarrassing stories about Chen Xiao when he was a child, letting out a silvery laugh when she heard something funny, her cheeks flushing with a lovely blush; she could even sing a few lines of old folk songs from Shen Yun's era, making the old lady laugh heartily.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, enhancing the warm and inviting atmosphere inside.

Feng Feifei glanced at the exquisite watch on her wrist, smiled, and said to Shen Jun, "Mom, it's almost lunchtime. I'll ask the cafeteria to prepare a few of their signature dishes, and we'll have lunch in the park. The chef at our little cafeteria is just as skilled as the one at Junxiao Hotel." As she spoke, she picked up the internal phone and made the arrangements quietly and efficiently.

Today's main purpose was for Shen Jun to meet Feng Feifei and Bai Lu, so Zhao Xiangjun thoughtfully stayed by her side and rarely spoke, because she knew that if she opened her mouth, the focus would shift.

Zhao Xiangjun stood up. "I'll go see what Chen Xiao is doing. He's become obsessed with playing games lately, even more so than Zhao Yan."

Bai Lu was also somewhat tempted; she hadn't seen Chen Xiao for several days and missed him terribly. But with Shen Yun present, she couldn't show it too obviously, so she decided to spend time with her mother-in-law first.

At the entrance to Feng Feifei's assistant's office, the assistant didn't know who had come in, but felt that the usually elegant and noble CEO Feng was even more obedient in front of that old lady than she was in front of the old CEO.

In this short time, she had already stopped countless senior executives and engineers who came to report to General Manager Feng.

Li Hui was currently making an appointment with her to report on H2's market plan to General Manager Feng. Since the Vice President of Business was away on a business trip, and Li Hui was considered a senior employee, he could report urgent matters directly to General Manager Feng.

The market plan for H2 was originally drafted in the second half of the year, but it was rejected by General Manager Feng and had to be redone. Now, Li Hui has prepared a new version and is planning to schedule a time for General Manager Feng to come and report on it.

He had just returned from outside and didn't know that Feng Feifei always had guests.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Feng has something to do today, it's work-related. Please wait for my notification, okay?"

Li Hui was somewhat surprised. The last time this happened was when Old Feng came to see Chen Xiao. What was going on today that made Old Feng, who was so engrossed in his work, cancel all his work?

patter
The door to Feng Feifei's office was pulled open from the inside. Her assistant jumped up, ready to be instructed by her boss.

Li Hui also subconsciously straightened his back and turned to look in the direction of the office, where he was immediately stunned.

This beautiful woman is stunning! Who is she?

The assistant didn't know who Zhao Xiangjun was, only that President Feng called her "sister" and seemed to respect her very much.

"Hello, boss!" the assistant greeted quickly.

Zhao Xiangjun wasn't quite used to this form of address, and smiled slightly: "You all go about your business, I'll go find President Chen—"

Looking for General Manager Chen? Is that a good idea?
The assistant glanced at Mr. Feng, who was still in his office, and asked, "Why don't you go see Mr. Chen alone?" (End of Chapter)
