The next morning, Ye Chen changed into the new suit that Jiang Ruoxi had bought for him and looked at himself in the mirror again and again.

Ye Chen thought to himself, Jiang Ruoxi really has good taste; the clothes she chose were just right.

As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse," and that's absolutely true.

The dark blue suit elevated Ye Chen's overall demeanor by several levels.

With Ye Chen's handsome appearance enhanced, he looks just like a male lead straight out of an idol drama.

"Ye Chen, what are you dawdling for? Let's go."

Jiang Ruoxi honked the horn twice at the door.

"They're here! They're here!"

Ye Chen, carrying the briefcase He Jianping had prepared for him, jogged into the car.

Jiang Ruoxi glanced at him briefly: "I have a very important meeting today, and I might be busy until very late. Stay in the security department by yourself and don't wander around."

"Yes, my dear wife."

"Um?"

"Yes, General Jiang!"

Jiang Ruoxi nodded in satisfaction and started the car.

Upon arriving at the company, Ye Chen, as usual, took the elevator directly from the parking lot to the security department on the 30th floor.

As soon as Ye Chen pushed open the office door, he saw He Jianping standing in front of his desk, holding a thermos cup in his hand, with a big smile on his face. When he saw Ye Chen come in, he immediately pulled out a chair.

"Brother Ye, come, come, try the health tea I specially brewed for you. It's made with top-quality goji berries and red dates, and it's good for replenishing qi and blood."

Ye Chen took the teacup: "Minister He, you're too kind. I'm basically retired from work, I don't need any supplements!"

"Hey, you can't say that. Although the work in the security department is easy, the responsibility is heavy. President Jiang's safety depends on us."

He Jianping moved closer to Ye Chen: "Brother, yesterday I had someone check all the blind spots of the building's surveillance cameras. Following your previous suggestion, we added twelve more high-definition cameras, and the intrusion alarm system has also been upgraded. Do you want to go take a look?"

Ye Chen glanced at He Jianping with some surprise.

Although this person likes to flatter, he is indeed very efficient.

"Minister He, thank you for your trouble. Shall we go for the inspection together later?"

"Okay, just message me on WeChat when it's convenient. I'm available anytime!"

He Jianping smiled and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Ye Chen sat back in his chair, picked up his thermos and took a sip, then squinted his eyes and began to plan for the day.

Last night, he checked Jiang Ruoxi's physical condition again. The residual poison from the Corrupting Heart Powder had been almost completely eliminated, and two more acupuncture treatments would be enough to completely remove it.

The problem is, if those people fail once, they'll definitely have other plans.

The young master of the ancient martial arts family behind Li Chengwen has yet to make an appearance.

Being in the dark while we are in the light is a truly unpleasant experience.

Suddenly, several girls were whispering outside the door.

"Really? The new deputy minister is super handsome?"

"Why would I lie to you? I just ran into him at the elevator. He was wearing a dark blue suit, and his aura was absolutely stunning—far superior to any of those young heartthrobs!"

"More handsome than Zhou Yu from the marketing department?"

"Zhou Yu is no match for him? He's not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

"Come on, let's find an excuse to go inside and take a look..."

Ye Chen had extraordinary hearing, and he heard every word of the conversation between the girls outside the door.

dong dong dong.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and three young women dressed in business attire appeared in front of Ye Chen.

Standing in front was a tall, sweet-looking girl with a name tag that read "Administration Department - Lin Keke".

Behind him was a girl with a ponytail and black-rimmed glasses; all three pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

"Minister Ye, hello. I am Lin Keke from the Administration Department, this is Zhao Xiaomeng from the Human Resources Department, and this is Sun Qian from the Finance Department."

Zhao Xiaomeng spoke first, explaining their purpose: "Minister Ye, we've come to deliver this quarter's departmental supplies requisition form, which we need your signature for confirmation."

Ye Chen took the form, glanced at it, and nodded: "Okay, let me take a look."

The moment the three girls saw Ye Chen, their eyes were filled with exclamation marks.

This new deputy minister is so handsome!

They discovered that Ye Chen possessed a special quality, not something carefully crafted, but a composure and serenity that emanated from his very being, like a gentle breeze in the mountains, captivating all who looked at him.

"Minister Ye, you look so young, are you twenty-five?" Lin Keke asked first.

Ye Chen looked up and smiled politely: "Just turned twenty."

"twenty?"

He became the deputy head of the security department of the Jiang Group at the age of twenty?

"So which school did you graduate from? A 985 or a 211?" Zhao Xiaomeng, with her ponytail, couldn't help but ask.

"I never went to university, I grew up in the mountains," Ye Chen answered truthfully.

Growing up in the mountains?

Never went to university?

Becoming a vice minister at the age of twenty?

Ye Chen's resume seemed incredible to them, but this did not diminish their interest in him at all; on the contrary, it added to their curiosity and imagination.

After all, in their eyes, anyone who can reach this position in the Jiang Group must either have extraordinary abilities or an extremely powerful background. Either way, it's enough to make them envious.

"Minister Ye, if there are no problems, you can sign here." Lin Keke pointed to the lower right corner of the form, leaned forward slightly, and a faint scent of perfume wafted into Ye Chen's nostrils.

Ye Chen remained expressionless and signed his name.

His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, with strong and elegant strokes, completely different from his usual playful and smiling demeanor.

"Wow, Minister Ye, your handwriting is so beautiful!" Sun Qian, wearing black-rimmed glasses, exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

"There are very few people who can write this well these days."

"You flatter me."

Ye Chen handed the form back and was about to politely see the guest off when Lin Keke suddenly changed the subject.

"Minister Ye, if I may be so bold as to ask..." She blinked her big eyes, smiling like a sly little fox, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Zhao Xiaomeng and Sun Qian held their breath at the same time, their ears perked up.

Ye Chen was stunned, and Jiang Ruoxi's stunningly beautiful, icy face subconsciously appeared in his mind.

He smiled, his tone casual yet confident: "I've got it."

"what……"

Disappointment was simultaneously revealed on the faces of the three girls.

Undeterred, Lin Keke pressed on, "Really? You're not just saying that to reject us, are you?"

"It's true, it's an arranged marriage by the family, a matter of parental command and matchmaker's words, there's no escaping it."

"A marriage arranged since childhood?"

What era are we living in? People still practice arranged marriages for children?

"Minister Ye, you're not joking, are you?" Zhao Xiaomeng asked incredulously.

Just as Ye Chen was about to answer, the internal phone on his desk suddenly rang.

He answered the phone, and Jiang Ruoxi's cold voice came from the other end, carrying a hint of displeasure that only he could hear.

"Vice Minister Ye, are you quite free during work hours? Would you like me to assign you more work?"

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

How does this woman know everything?

He lowered his voice and said with a forced smile, "Not at all, not at all, I'll get busy right away."

"Come to my office in ten minutes."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

"Ladies, I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang has summoned me, I have to go now."

Lin Keke and the other two tactfully took their leave, and after walking a few steps out of the office, they began to whisper excitedly to each other.

"My God, President Jiang called him personally!"

"This Vice Minister Ye is definitely not simple; he must have connections with President Jiang!"

"It couldn't be President Jiang's..."

Could this woman be jealous?

It seems this ice queen isn't so indifferent after all.
