Chapter 185 seems to have caused trouble.
“Yes, I’m doing this for the president’s own good.” Park Sun-hee’s eyes were fixed on Chi Mo-ching, showing no sign of guilt. “The company is a workplace. If the president’s wife comes to see the president whenever she’s in a bad mood, how can the president concentrate on his work? What will the subordinates think? If all departments follow suit, can this still be a company? I’m the president’s secretary, and it’s necessary for me to remind the president’s wife of certain things.”
"Finished?" Chi Moqing asked expressionlessly. "Does Secretary Park know how many shares my wife and I own in the entire Chi Group?"
Park Sun-hee shook her head, looking at him with confusion.
"More than 60%, in other words, no matter how the company re-elects, it's impossible to shake my position as president. Secretary Park, how many people in the entire Chi Group do you think would dare to follow suit?"
Park Sun-hee paused, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
"Furthermore, how my wife and I get along, and how much I pamper and love her, are matters between us as a couple. I hope that irrelevant people will refrain from interfering, because it is not their place to tell us what to do. Does Secretary Park have anything else to say?"
Sensing Chi Moqing's impatience, Park Sun-hee felt a surge of resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Even so, does that mean the president can just not separate the company?"
"If Secretary Park were to separate public and private matters, she wouldn't have come to my house to discuss work, would she?" Chi Moqing said with a sneer.
Park Sun-hee clenched her fist and looked up at Chi Mo-ching. "Then why does the president still indulge me?"
Chi Moqing glanced at her. What was he trying to imply?
He stared at her coldly: "Secretary Park, do you think you could have stepped into my house if it weren't for my wife pleading for you? My wife is simple-minded and wouldn't harbor any ill intentions, but if someone has malicious intentions, I, Chi Moqing, will not stand idly by!"
Park Sun-hee stiffened, meeting Chi Mo-ching's sharp, eagle-like eyes. For some reason, she felt as if he could see right through her. She lowered her gaze and after a while said, "I understand what the president means. I will pay attention in the future. After get off work, I will go home with the president and apologize to Madam."
“No need. My wife won’t care about unimportant people,” Chi Moqing refused outright.
Park Sun-hee looked a little embarrassed: "President, I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to go and apologize."
"No need. If there's nothing else, you can leave," Chi Moqing said coldly.
Park Sun-hee felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Chi Moqing's icy demeanor. She had always seen Chi Moqing as gentle and refined when he was with Yan Zuozuo, and assumed he was a good-natured person. But recently, she realized she was wrong; his good temper was only for Yan Zuozuo, and he was definitely not so easy to talk to others.
Especially after today's incident, she realized how unfathomable Chi Moqing was, and it seems she needs to be more cautious in the future.
"If there's nothing else, Secretary Park, you may leave. I hope this won't happen again."
Park Sun-hee took a deep breath and said, "I understand." Then she turned and left.
Chi Moqing's expression darkened the moment Park Sun-hee closed the door. It seemed this woman was becoming increasingly restless, and he needed to find out her true identity as soon as possible.
The next morning, Yan Zuozuo wanted to see Chi Moqing off, but he refused, saying, "If you take me there and then come back alone, the road is remote, and I'm worried about you."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "I came back with your driver, what are you worried about?"
Chi Moqing reached out and hugged her, saying, "I'm just worried. Be a good girl and wait for me at home. I'll try to come back as soon as possible, okay?"
Yan Zuozuo pouted, somewhat reluctantly, but still agreed, "Work is important, you don't need to worry about me. There's a nanny at home, and I can also visit Mom and the baby. I can take care of myself."
Chi Moqing snorted, pinched her nose, and said, "Nothing else to say?"
Yan Zuozuo tilted his head slightly. Is there anything else you've forgotten?
After a while, she asked, "Is Secretary Park coming along too?"
Chi Moqing's face darkened immediately. He had thought she would at least say something about missing him, but it turned out to be this kind of question. He also knew that she had something on her mind, so he nodded and said, "Yes, rather than leaving her behind and worrying that she might be of harm to you, it's safer to keep her by your side."
Yan Zuozuo was a little annoyed, but she also knew that Chi Moqing was doing it for her own good. She sighed softly and whispered, "Take good care of yourself when you get there. Eat on time, drink less alcohol, and get plenty of rest, okay?"
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "It's only been a week. Why are you making it sound like you're going to war and don't know when you'll be back?"
Yan Zuozuo blinked. She was already annoyed enough that he had been with Secretary Park for a week, and now he wanted to not know when he would return? He really had a lot of nerve!
The day after Chi Moqing left, Yan Zuozuo was shopping when she received a call from her coach at the entrance of a hotel. The coach said that her previously scheduled exam was rescheduled for the next day and that she could just go there directly.
Yan Zuozuo immediately agreed and asked for the address and phone number, but since she didn't have paper and pen, she quickly ran into the hotel and asked the front desk for paper and pen. "Okay, please repeat that again."
The coach told her the address and phone number again, gave her a few more instructions, and then hung up.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at the address; it wasn't close to home, so she'd have to go early. Just as she turned to go home, she was suddenly bumped into by a figure rushing towards her. Before she could say anything, she heard the other person exclaim, "Ouch, that hurts!"
She frowned, glancing up at the man muttering to himself in front of her. He looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she'd seen him before. She paused, still not quite understanding, when a large group of people rushed in, their target clearly the man in front of her.
Her first reaction was: Run!
She didn't know this man and had no intention of getting involved in this messy, nonsensical drama. However, just as she was about to lift her foot, she was pulled into a solid wall of flesh, and then flashes of light went off everywhere, making it almost impossible for her to see anything. She quickly raised her hand to shield her eyes.
In the midst of a hazy, confused state, the man beside her pulled her into a tight embrace and said, "Thank you all for your help. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend. Now that we've been discovered, there's no need to hide anymore."
girlfriend? !
Yan Zuozuo looked up in surprise, meeting the man's eyes, which shone like stars, clear and pure. She was momentarily stunned, captivated by his handsome face, and for a moment forgot to refute him.
The man exuded an air of elegant nobility, his thin lips slightly upturned. "Darling, everyone is waiting for your response."
Yan Zuozuo snapped out of her daze, her brows furrowing. Darling? What kind of international joke is this man playing?!
She was instantly enraged: "Where did you come from, you lunatic? Do I know you that well? Let go!" With that, she stomped hard on the man's instep, and as he loosened his grip in pain, she turned and left.
But before she could take two steps, the man pulled her into his arms again, his smile dazzling and radiant.
Yan Zuozuo was startled: "What are you doing? Let go of me... Ugh!"
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened in shock. She felt something warm and soft on her lips, like a nimble little snake trying to pry open her mouth. She was stunned. That damned bastard, how dare he assault her?
Just as she was about to make a move, the man had already pulled away from her lips, followed by a deep, pleasant voice, "Sorry, I just like this kind of spicy girlfriend, the spicier the better. I hope you all understand."
Yan Zuozuo was inexplicably used as a pawn and even kissed by a random pig. This was intolerable, and just as the man was continuing to flaunt his elegance, she slapped him across the face.
Snapped!
A crisp, loud slap rang out. Isn't it supposed to be spicier the better? Well, I'll give you the spiciness you need!
The once noisy hall suddenly fell silent as everyone stared in shock at Yan Zuozuo and the man.
The man's face was turned to the side by the blow, and five red handprints were left on his fair and firm face. He looked at Yan Zuozuo with the same surprise.
What are you looking at? You were in the wrong first, stop pretending to be innocent!
Yan Zuozuo gritted her teeth and shoved him away. "Are you crazy? If you're in heat, go stand on the street. What are you doing acting like a hooligan here? Believe me or not, I'll call the police and have you arrested!" After saying that, she walked outside, thinking that if this wild man dared to chase after her again, she would definitely kick him and cripple him first.
However, just as she stepped out of the hotel, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. That man from earlier... she seemed to remember him.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and her face turned deathly pale. Wasn't the man she had just hit the person Chi Moqing was going to negotiate with? She remembered hearing him mention it in Chi Moqing's study last night, and she even saw a photo of him.
Chi Moqing was always a cautious person, and he would always double-check the other person's appearance before setting off to avoid any awkward situations. That photo was one he had glanced at while looking at other people's pictures; she had thought the man was quite handsome and bore a resemblance to a currently popular fashion star.
Ou Luhan, the heir to the largest Chinese conglomerate, is in charge of related businesses in the Asia-Pacific region. He is rumored to be the youngest son most favored by the president of the Ou Group and is very likely to be the future successor of the entire Ou Group.
She's doomed; she's actually offended Chi Moqing's important business partner.
She grabbed a handful of hair haphazardly, feeling utterly devastated, thinking that she had to tell Chi Moqing as soon as possible, lest she ruin the business because of her.
Upon receiving Yan Zuozuo's call, Chi Moqing was overjoyed. "Wife, you missed me?"
Yan Zuozuo didn't have time for sweet nothings with him. She just anxiously told him, "Honey, I think I've ruined your business. What should I do? I hit your business partner."
Chi Moqing was taken aback: "Wife, speak slowly, I didn't understand."
"It was Ou Luhan... your business partner this time, I beat him up..." Yan Zuozuo was filled with guilt and spoke incoherently. If she had known earlier that Ou Luhan was Chi Moqing's business partner, she definitely...
Definitely?
Yan Zuozuo paused. He had bullied her so much, he must have given her a good beating. Look at her temper!
After hearing Yan Zuozuo's words, Chi Moqing remained silent for a long time. Yan Zuozuo thought he was angry and said weakly, "Chi Moqing, husband, have I really caused trouble this time?" She wondered if it was too late for her to go and apologize to Ou Luhan.
"No, honey, you've helped me a lot. I'll book a flight right now and go back immediately. You stay home and wait for me. You're my lucky star, honey." With that, Chi Moqing hung up the phone.
Yan Zuozuo stared at the microphone, puzzled. Could Chi Moqing be furious and deliberately saying the opposite of what he meant? But his tone didn't seem like it. What was going on?
She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, worried that her recklessness would ruin Chi Moqing's business. She finally drifted off to sleep around four in the morning, and then heard the rustling sound of someone opening a door outside.
Startled, she sat bolt upright, thinking it was a thief. She immediately grabbed a decorative vase from the bedside table and cautiously walked to the door, waiting for the thief to enter.
