Chapter 77 The President Has Arrived
Six internationally renowned stylists appeared respectfully in the photo studio, and to Eircy and his stylists' blank expressions, they opened their large work suitcases.

A dazzling array of cosmetics, accessories, and ten pieces of clothing were presented to the crowd.

Eircy's stylist gently tugged at Eircy's sleeve, his voice extremely low and slightly trembling:

"This is the world's number one team of stylists; each stylist is individually one of the best..."

Eircy's voice was also low: "I know."

"Look at that box of accessories, four whole layers high, hundreds of pieces, not a single one less than eight figures. The clothes too, all custom-made by top-tier masters, of the same level as what he's wearing..."

Eircy forced a smile and said, "I'm not blind."

Yan Changye was already getting impatient: "Can we start now? I need to save time for my date with my wife."

Eircy coughed lightly, suppressing the slight tremor in her heart, and adopted a professional demeanor: "Let's begin now."

The curtains in the styling area were slowly drawn.

Ten minutes later, Yan Changye, now dressed in a burgundy retro shirt, appeared before everyone.

His delicate silk shirt was slightly disheveled, and there was a half-lip print deliberately drawn on his collarbone by the stylist, which complemented his bright and slightly sensual features. He was elegant and composed with a touch of unruliness, sensual and charming, yet with a lazy and relaxed aura.

Those captivating peach blossom eyes looked at Jiang Manman, her alluring lips curving slightly upwards, her voice deep and refined: "Madam, may I look?"

Jiang Manman's heart skipped a beat.

Beside them, Shan Shan and Ayla were already breathing heavily. Shan Shan was suppressing the urge to scream, her words incoherent and dazed:
"Is the boss's husband a fairy? He looked good in that smoky gray outfit, but when he changed into another one, he looked completely different and handsome. How does our boss, who lives with him day and night, manage to put up with it..."

Jiang Manman's heart was indeed a little confused.

Under Yan Changye's star-like gaze, she feigned composure and said, "Yes, I can see."

Yan Changye hummed in agreement: "Then let's shoot this outfit?"

Jiang Manman hesitated for a moment: "Since we're already here—why don't we take two sets?"

Yan Changye paused slightly: "Madam, we agreed on just one set."

Jiang Manman sighed softly: "But both your aloofness and your radiant beauty are very captivating!"

Yan Changye remained silent for a long while.

"Then two sets it will do." He looked at Jiang Manman helplessly. "Madam, that's the most we can do."

Eircy's eyes suddenly brightened a little more.

Who can understand the thrill photographers feel when they encounter a stunning beauty?
after an hour.

The bodyguard solemnly instructed Eircy: "These photos from today must not be circulated."

Although Eircy didn't know Yan Changye's exact identity, judging from his incredible styling team and the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of accessories he casually produced, she knew he was someone she couldn't afford to offend: "Don't worry, after the final product is delivered, we will delete all the original images and will never leak them."

The bodyguard nodded slightly and escorted Yan Changye and Jiang Manman out of the photography studio.

The voice of the night departed, surrounded by several bodyguard vehicles.

Jiang Rong drove Shanshan and Ayla. Ayla watched the car disappear into the night, then sighed, "That sports car looks familiar. I think I've seen it online before. It looks a lot like the legendary young master's car..."

Jiang Rong coughed lightly: "You can get a general idea online. Cars may look similar, but the interiors and details can vary greatly. You must have mistaken it for something else."

Ayla hummed in agreement, then shifted the topic elsewhere: "I never expected that after searching around for female celebrities, it would end up being our boss's husband personally endorsing the product, without even having to pay an endorsement fee. As for the results... Assistant Jiang, Mu Chan is probably about to experience a new surge in orders."

Jiang Rong smiled and said, "That's perfect. Madam will be raising everyone's wages again then."

The next morning.

Shen Zongqian arrived at No. 1 Residence once again. He chatted with the butler as if nothing was amiss: "The BOSS hasn't gotten up yet, has he?"

The butler nodded as if it were common sense: "Our family's chairman always spends a long time with his wife before going on business trips. Mr. Shen, please wait a little longer; it will probably take another hour or two."

Shen Zongqian said, "It's alright. I set the flight for 11 o'clock this time, so we'll make it."

At 9:30, Yan Changye, dressed neatly, put his arm around Jiang Manman's waist and went downstairs.

Shen Zongqian stood up and greeted, "Boss, Madam."

Yan Changye hummed in agreement: "Wait for me for another ten minutes."

He personally poured Jiang Manman hot milk, and then placed her favorite breakfast items on her plate before whispering to her:
"I'll video chat with you whenever I have time, and I'll try to come back and spend time with you every week."

Jiang Manman's eyes softened, and she nodded gently: "Are you sure you don't need to bring any luggage?"

Yan Changye gently smoothed her slightly curled hair: "No need, I have everything I need in Hong Kong."

Beside him, Shen Zongqian silently added in his mind: Of course there is no shortage. Not to mention anything else, his boss's dressing room in Hong Kong is bigger than the one in the capital.

Jiang Manman spoke again: "Remember to give the two sets of traditional Chinese style children's clothes and bracelets I gave you to Xie Jian for me."

Yan Changye hummed in agreement again: "I should be visiting Xie Jian's place quite often. Is there anything else you need to tell me, Madam?"

Jiang Manman thought of Xie Jian's elaborate efforts to send vegetables, "Tell him to stop sending vegetables. You can just pick some from the garden and bring them back every time you come back. It's not appropriate for Xie Yunxi to send us vegetables in his private jet every few days."

Yan Changye: "Alright."

Shen Zongqian turned his face away and coughed lightly, feigning composure.

Yan Changye glanced indifferently at Shen Zongqian, the third wheel, and leaned down to kiss Jiang Manman's forehead:
"I'm leaving. Make sure you have a good breakfast. Wherever you go, your bodyguard must stay with you. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, call me."

Jiang Manman chuckled: "I know, you should hurry up and go, don't miss your flight."

Yan Changye reluctantly held Jiang Manman in his arms for a long while before turning to leave.

Four hours later.

The Xie family conglomerate in the port city, in the conference room.

The board members of the Xie family conglomerate craned their necks eagerly to look at the conference room door.

"Are you sure Mr. Xie will be back?" one of the directors scoffed. "Don't let him just show up and disappear again. We haven't seen him for months. Who knows where he's been gallivanting off to."

Another director cautioned, "Say less. Although the chairman is abroad, President Xie is not someone to be trifled with. How many board members have been skinned alive by him over the years?"

"Does he dare to touch me?" the first director sneered. "At least call me Second Grandfather."

"What's so great about his second maternal grandfather? He doesn't even respect his own maternal grandfather." Another director said quietly, "Let's keep a low profile."

As soon as he finished speaking, solemn footsteps sounded outside.

Several bodyguards appeared at the door with indifferent expressions, standing guard on either side of the conference room entrance.

The board members fell silent and stood up.

At the entrance, a languid-looking man walked in accompanied by Shen Zongqian, kicked aside the chair in the main seat, and sat down elegantly.

The board members straightened up and greeted the president with a respectful "Good morning!"

"What's so good about it? It's not good at all." The man in the main seat said in a low voice, "With Xie Yuheng gone, the huge Xie Group is like it has lost its backbone. It still needs me to keep things in order. Isn't that embarrassing?"
