Chapter 12 My Wife Is Angry
Ye Chen used the reflective surface of the elevator to straighten his suit and tie. After all, he was going to see the president, so he had to be properly dressed.
He was alone in the elevator, pondering Jiang Ruoxi's phone call earlier. Her tone was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave, devoid of any warmth.
This woman usually ignores him, but as soon as she hears that girls are hanging around him, she immediately calls.
Could there be a bug in the office? We'll have to check it carefully later.
"Ha, women."
If he could handle a cold and aloof woman like his master, how could he possibly win over these worldly women in Jiangcheng?
Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly, feeling inexplicably happy. It was good that the woman was jealous; it meant success was not far away.
The elevator stopped on the thirty-first floor, and as soon as the doors opened, Jiang Ruoxi's personal secretary, Wang Jingjing, was already waiting at the door.
"Vice Minister Ye, President Jiang is waiting for you in his office."
Secretary Wang's smile remained the same as always, and his actions were exactly the same, with little change. The only difference was that he felt a little uneasy inside.
Secretary Wang hid it very well, but Ye Cheng, being a martial artist, could sense it.
"Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Wang."
Ye Chen followed her through the corridor, encountering several executives along the way, all dressed in suits and looking hurried.
They didn't recognize Ye Cheng, but they could tell that the person following Secretary Wang was definitely not ordinary. The news that Ye Chen had been appointed as the deputy director of the security department had already spread throughout the company, and everyone wanted to see if Ye Chen had an extra nose and eyes.
Within the Jiang Group, the Security Department does not wield as much real power as the Human Resources and Marketing Departments, but it is still an important department responsible for the company's safe operation.
The position of deputy director of the security department is neither particularly important nor insignificant. The key point is that Ye Chen took only one day from joining the company to taking office, a speed that ranks among the top three in the history of the Jiang Group.
"General Manager Jiang, Vice Minister Ye has arrived."
"Let him in."
As Ye Chen pushed open the door, he saw Jiang Ruoxi sitting behind her desk with a document spread out in front of her, without even looking up.
This was Ye Chen's second time entering Jiang Ruoxi's office. The layout was exactly the same, except that the orchid Li Chengwen had given him had been replaced with a fake one.
"Wife!" Ye Chen walked to his desk and called out softly.
Seeing that Jiang Ruoxi did not reply, he stood up properly and remained silent, waiting quietly for his leader to give him instructions.
The two remained locked in this stalemate for two minutes.
Finally, Jiang Ruoxi couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her head, her cool gaze sweeping over Ye Chen's dark blue suit, lingering for a moment at his collar.
"Ye Chen, it seems you're having a pretty good time as the deputy head of the security department. A young lady came to you on your second day at work?"
Ye Chen was secretly pleased; these words clearly showed that Jiang Ruoxi was jealous.
Ye Chen's face was very serious as he replied earnestly, "My dear wife, you misunderstand. They came to deliver the supply application forms. We chatted a bit more within the work area, but that's just to get the work going in the next step."
"For matters within the scope of work, do I need to ask if they have a partner?"
"It was just a casual question, why not take it seriously?"
Jiang Ruoxi leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, her expression serious. The aura emanating from her was enough to make all the executives of the Jiang Group tremble with fear.
But Ye Chen wasn't a high-ranking executive; he was her fiancé. These things didn't affect Ye Chen, who was used to being unrestrained.
"Well, it's hard to say. I thought about it carefully when I came up here..."
Ye Chen scratched his head, paused deliberately, and looked at Jiang Ruoxi's complicated expression: "Wife, maybe it's because I'm wearing the clothes you bought me, and also because I'm too handsome?"
"Ye Chen! You! You're shameless..."
Jiang Ruoxi slammed her hand on the table in anger, her chest heaving faster and more violently.
How can this guy be so shameless? She's here questioning him, and he's still in the mood for banter!
"Alright, alright, my dear wife, I'm not joking anymore." Ye Chen stopped joking and looked at her seriously.
"I've already told them that I have a fiancée, it's an arranged marriage between our families, the kind that can't be avoided."
"Who's your fiancée? I haven't acknowledged this marriage."
"Wife, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Besides, in this world, besides my master, you are the woman I care about most. How can those little shrimps compare to my wife..."
"Is your master a woman?"
"Yes, my master in the mountains is an absolute beauty, just as beautiful as you..."
Why didn't you tell me about this?
"The key point is that you didn't even ask me. I'll tell you about my master, the cold beauty, another time when it's convenient."
"You! You!"
Ye Chen knew that Jiang Ruoxi was more interested in his past at the moment, so he would find an opportunity to tell her about it later.
"Honey, let's talk about this in detail when we have the chance. I promise I'll make sure everything is clear."
Jiang Ruoxi's anger subsided somewhat, but she remained unforgiving, saying, "If there's any holding back or deception, you're dead..."
Jiang Ruoxi realized after speaking that it was a bit inappropriate. She shouldn't have expressed her inner thoughts so bluntly, and besides, she had been a little harsh. She should have been gentler.
"Yes, yes, my dear wife is right. I will definitely do as you ask. Is that alright?"
Ye Chen readily agreed, his attitude was exceptionally good.
This made Jiang Ruoxi unable to lash out again, so she could only snort coldly and push the document on the table over.
"Ye Chen, let's get down to business. This is a lawyer's letter from Wansheng Group this morning. Li Chengwen has filed a police report for intentional injury, requesting the police to investigate you and prosecute you..."
Ye Chen took the document and glanced at it without even frowning.
"He poisoned my fiancée, I beat him up, and he still has the nerve to report it to the police?"
"His backers have made their move."
"Do you know who it is?" Ye Chen suddenly became interested upon hearing this.
"It is still unknown whether Li Chengwen is just a puppet and the real person who wants to kill me is someone else. Wansheng Group's influence in Jiangcheng is deeply entrenched. Since they dare to openly report the case, it means they have already prepared a backup plan."
"Honey, what are your plans next?"
"I've already asked the company's legal department to handle it, but you need to be careful these next few days and try not to go out alone to prevent them from retaliating."
Ye Chen looked at her, his eyes filled with warmth and gratitude.
Although this woman was cold to him, she actually cared about him.
"Wife, have you forgotten where I came from? You've seen my strength. A few thugs aren't worth worrying about. Don't worry, the one who can hurt me hasn't been born yet..."
Ye Chen paused slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "What I'm worried about now is them making a move against you. They wouldn't dare to openly attack me, but they might not show you any mercy. The previous times have proven that."
Jiang Ruoxi was well aware of Ye Chen's strength, but she feared that they might resort to underhanded tactics and lack of martial ethics.
