Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 86

Chapter 86 : A man who is extremely Mensao!

(T/N: There is a buzzword in Chinese called "闷骚 mēn sāo" which refers to someone who is cold or even dull on the outside, but is passionate, charming and sexy underneath. It can also be used to describe a person's personality that is deceptive or confusing, but in many cases this description is complimentary.)

Yan Liang quickly stood up from the sofa, and naturally did not forget to avoid Rex's evil handsome face very carefully.

Rex frowned, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with Yan Liang's evasive demeanour. A man like him inherently share the same pride as Liang Xi Cheng. Ordinarily, if a woman had the opportunity to meet him, which one wouldn't rush forward and try her best to take advantage of him?

This Bai Yan Liang ... she is quite different. Look at the frightened look on her face ....

Rex snorted, pointed to Yan Liang, and then pointed to his nose, but the words were directed to Liang Xi Cheng, "Do I look scary? I seem to have frightened her?"

Yan Liang quickly waved her hand and explained, "No ... no, I just .... "

"Put away your promiscuous behavior. Didn't you appreciate her design style and want to take her as an apprentice? Don't apply the same tactics you use to treat other women on her."

Liang Xi Cheng cut off Yan Liang's hesitant and clumsy explanation, strode forward with two long legs, gave her a look that said she didn't need to worry, unbuttoned his suit and sat down gracefully.

"I brought you the person. Whatever you need to talk about, feel free to just ignore me." As he said this, he took a tall glass from the coffee table, poured himself a glass of red wine, and slowly, as he tasted it, he remembered something and added, "Of course, if I there is anything I can do to help, I would also choose to speak up."

Rex cursed in his heart!

——Liang Xi Cheng, a man who was extremely bored, was obviously begging him to come out to see Bai Yan Liang, but now in front of her, he seemed to be thirsty for acknowledgement.

Please, he doesn't need an apprentice at all, okay?

He has always been a lone wolf, and there have been very few officially released works in recent years.

Accepting an apperentice?

What a boring thing!

It's a pity that because of his momentary "greed", he decisively accepted his "heartbeat". Under the pressure by Liang Xi Cheng, this giant Buddha standing in front of him, Rex could only curse a few words secretly. But it is not easy to "breach the contract" casually.

"Well, yes, I want to accept you as my apprentice." Rex reached out and touched his nose, saying without sincerity.

He had never seen a man flirting with girls like this, but Liang Xi Cheng, who was so difficult, would actually take action aginst the grass beside his own nest. He was actually more interested in this.

(T/N: The grass beside his own nest means the people around him.)

Yan Liang is not the kind of person who has a weak brain. She always feels that this Rex is weird. He said that he wanted to accept her as his apprentice, but he looked unwilling to do so, and there was no sincerity in every word he said. In addition, in several previous reports about him, it seems to have been mentioned that he is relatively solitary in his behavior and does not seem to be the kind of person who is willing to accept "peaches and plums blossoms all over the world".

And ... what level are herself at?

Does he really interested in it?

Although she was indeed very excited when she knew that Rex wanted to accept her as his apprentice, but if it was really because of Liang Xi Cheng ....

Yan Liang fought in her heart for a while, and finally said softly: ".... If you really want to teach me, Rex, I would be very happy ... but I ... I haven't been involved in the architectural design industry for many years ... I'm afraid you won't be satisfied with my level."

Liang Xi Cheng leaned deeply on the sofa. Upon hearing this, his brows wrinkled almost imperceptibly and out of the corner of his eye, Yan Liang glanced at the side of his face——

He could see that she was hesitating. She was like this because she had been hiding alone in her own world for too long.

She has always been cautious in her behavior, so when someone suddenly wants to drag her out of that world, she will look around and think before and after. To put it bluntly, she lacks such confidence.

Liang Xi Cheng unconsciously squeezed the glass in his hand——

Now that he has brought her along this road, then she is not allowed to shrink back!

No one spoke for a while in the private room. Liang Xi Cheng calmly put down the red wine glass in his hand, but his eyes glanced at Rex.

The two men have been close friends for many years, and they can naturally understand what the other is thinking with just one look.

Rex couldn't help but roll his eyes, put down his wine glass obediently and sat up straight. This time, when he spoke, his tone was much more serious.

"Bai ... Yan Liang, I have seen some of your previous designs. They were from the school design competitions you participated in when you were in college. But after all, those were designs from a long time ago. I have heard before that recently you are bidding for the design of the Municipal Party Committee Building? Did you brought it over?"

Yan Liang subconsciously tightened her grip on her handbag. Of course she remembered that she put the design into her bag before going out ....

She bit her lip and secretly told herself that there was actually nothing to worry about.

Whether it's good or bad, it's all the hard work she put in after staying up late. What's more, with such a good opportunity, is it possible that she really wants to give up because of her fear of everything?

No, she wants to stand out, she wants to fulfill her dream, she wants to hold the pen in her hand and draw designs one after another, and she also wants everyone to remember her name .…

These thoughts are like fierce tides, beating against the Yan Liang one after another.

All the uncertainty was finally washed away. She took a deep breath, opened her handbag, took out the crumpled design and handed it to Rex.

"This is a sketch I just designed before."

Rex reached out to take it, narrowed his slightly evil eyes, and took a serious look at it.

Liang Xi Cheng didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but at this time he also saw a flash of approval in the eyes of his friend who was picky about design.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Sure enough, it was impossible for him, Liang Xi Cheng, to see the wrong person.

Rex will be satisfied with her.

"Did you make this by yourself?" Rex flicked the design in his hand and looked at Yan Liang, "How many days did it take?"

"I designed it myself. It took about two days and two nights."

"What do you think of this design?"

Yan Liang bit her lip and expressed her thoughts, "I have seen the previous design drawings of the Municipal Party Committee Building. I feel that since the building is going to be renovated, it must not be the same as before. I think such a design drawing is a bit too conservative, and I also know that the current Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of City A is a very young person. Therefore, my starting point is to make the entire building look not like a rigid style, but with a kind of vitality, and then integrate some new elements.”

She paused and looked at Rex. He seemed to have focused his attention on the design again, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yan Liang felt a little nervous in her heart. Was he ... not satisfied?

Her eyes subconsciously turned to Liang Xi Cheng, who was sitting beside her, but found that he was also looking at her.

He was looking at her intently, and Yan Liang's heart beat uncontrollably, but she did not avoid his sight like before, but saw a flash of light deep in his deep eyes——

She understood ....

He was telling her not to shrink back, not to be afraid, and not to be unsure of her own thoughts.

He was telling her to continue speaking out her thoughts bravely, and he was cheering her on!

A warm current surged through Yan Liang's heart, and it seemed that all the negative energy deep in her heart was swept away.

She finally turned to look at Rex and said the second half of the sentence, ".... but I feel that some of the details of the design are not handled well enough. I feel that something is missing, but I can't tell what it is."

Rex smiled, "When I looked at your college works, I only had one thought. You like to incorporate some things into your design, such as emotions and preferences. When I look at your design now, I feel even more ... intense. You will consider the age of the municipal party secretary and his preferences. I think many people may not have such an idea. At most, they think about it in terms of so-called style and grandeur, as shown in the first design, it seems vulgar. Your design does not lack anything too obvious. As you said, it is just that some small details than have not been handled well. Just go back and modify it. But the design also has a soul, and if you don't have confidence in it, it won't give you any success."

Yan Liang blinked her eyes. For the first time, Rex said so many words in front of her, and every sentence was very insightful. She was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Does he ... agree with her design concept?

Or ... is it not vulgar to praise one's own design from the side?

"You may call him Master now." A strong and powerful voice interrupted Yan Liang's random thoughts. She raised her head and saw Liang Xi Cheng curling up his sexy thin lips, looking at her, and pointing his slender finger at Rex, "This freak rarely speak so much in front of others, and to a woman, do you understand what that means?"

Yan Liang was greatly moved and stood up from the sofa suddenly. She couldn't believe it. Looking at the design that she had almost thrown away several times, she was even more excited at the moment.

".... Really? Rex, do you really think my design ... passed the test?"

"I'm not God. Whether you pass or not actually depends on your own heart. But what I can tell you is that I really think you can keep the fire in your heart and continue to work hard in this direction. Given time, you will become an excellent designer." He spread his hands and said very cheerfully: "I disdain poor things, but this is just gold, and I will not be stingy with praise."

Yan Liang could tell that everything this weird-tempered Rex said to her was serious and there was absolutely no hypocrisy.

But it was because of this that she was excited.

Something she had never been sure of was now confirmed by her idol she most admired. That feeling ... was really more exciting than winning the lottery.

"Just let me tell you in advance that you must not call me 'Master'." Rex looked at the excited expression on the little woman in front of him, and was really afraid that she might call that vulgar calling out of her mouth, so he gave Yan Liang a preventive shot in advance, "Just call me by my name."

Yan Liang also felt that calling him master was too weird, so naturally she would not object. Finally, she asked cautiously: ".... Can I learn from you in the future?"

Rex raised his eyebrows, "I will be at the villa on the top of the mountain in the west of the city every Wednesday. You will design a drawing every week and deliver it to the villa on Wednesday."

Is this considered a success?

She actually became Rex's apprentice, and her design actually got Rex's approval.

Yan Liang's heart was like a colorful balloon. Because she hadn't inflated it for so many years, it had always been flat. But now ... the balloon was filled with air and bulging. She just felt that her mind was full of inspiration. She couldn't wait to go home right away and draw those inspirations——

It turns out that the dream has not withered, but has been suppressed deep in her heart.

And now, it's a good time for her to be released.

***

On the way back, Liang Xi Cheng drove the car himself.

Yan Liang's mood was completely different from when she came.

The two of them still didn't say anything along the way, but the atmosphere was very relaxed and subtle. It wasn't until they were approaching the door of her apartment that Yan Liang hesitated to speak.

".... Today's matter, thank you."

Liang Xi Cheng turned the steering wheel and parked his car at the door of the apartment building. He turned to look at her and said, "It doesn't seem sincere if you don't look into other people's eyes when you say thank you."

Yan Liang raised her head subconsciously, and happened to bump into his deep eyes. Those extremely beautiful eyes were locking her tightly, like a pool of enchanting autumn water, as if they wanted to suck her in.

Yan Liang's heart instantly panicked, and she didn't know where to look, ".... Thank you, I ... I mean what I said sincerely, thank you ... Chairman Liang ..."

Those last two words were like mosquitoes, but in the small car, Liang Xi Cheng could still hear them clearly.

He suddenly raised his eyebrows——

Chairman Liang?

"What did you say? It was too soft, I couldn't hear clearly." He deliberately moved closer to her.

Yan Liang tensed up instantly and subconsciously moved toward the car door to hide from his breath, ".... I say, thank you, Chairman Liang ... thank you for helping me. I know that if it weren't for you, Rex wouldn't have notice me … thank you.”

Seeing her shy and delicate look, her voice was even softer when she spoke. Listening that to Liang Xi Cheng's ears, it was like his heart turned into a pool of water, swaying leisurely, and he only felt that great joy in his heart.

The scent of the two of them filled the car, it was faint and hard to ignore. He suddenly felt that the little woman who made him feel itchy was back again.

Very good, Chairman Liang ... sounds much nicer than Mr. Liang.

"Since you call me Chairman Liang, don't forget to submit your resume to the EC Design Department when you get back. The bidding for the Municipal Party Committee Building is only a few days away. Don't let me down then, hm?" This means that he want to make it clear that he wanted her to join EC.

Although Yan Liang has never liked going through the back door, now she no longer has the mentality of going through the back door.

But rather she think, if she had the opportunity, she must seize it, and if you have the ability, you must show it.

She nodded and said, "Chairman Liang, I will definitely do my best!"

***

Yan Liang still has some experience in applying for EC jobs. In addition, Liang Xi Cheng had told her before, so she quickly submitted her resume and new design.

Unexpectedly, there would be a reply the next day. The person in charge of recruitment over there happened to be Guan Jiu. When he called Yan Liang, he acted businesslike and just asked her to go to the EC in the afternoon.

Yan Liang usually wears high heels to work, but now .... She touched her belly, and finally found a pair of flat shoes in the shoe cabinet and put them on.

However, she was not very lucky today.

When the car drove into the EC parking lot, it unexpectedly bumped into a BMW X7 that drove in at the same time.

Yan Liang was startled and quickly got out of the car. The person driving the BMW X7 was actually a woman. At this time, she also opened the door and got out.

"Your car?"

The other party spoke first. The female voice was not harsh, but the simple words seemed to convey a bit of arrogance due to her position.

In fact, she is also a very good-looking woman.

Her short hair dyed burgundy, fair skin, tall figure, and a pair of particularly smart eyes under two delicate eyebrows——

She was wearing a lake blue professional suit, which set off her graceful figure. Few people could wear such an outstanding color so naturally. Standing casually next to the white BMW X7, it looked like an exquisite painting.

Yan Liang calmly looked away and said apologetically: "Miss, I'm sorry. I might have been too hasty when I turned the corner just now. I will be responsible for paying for your car. I work here at EC. My name is Bai Yan Liang ,…”

"Do you think I need your compensation ...." The woman's mouth curled up, as if with a hint of mockery. The next second, she suddenly paused, ".... You just said you were also an employee of EC? What's your name?"

".... Bai Yan Liang."

The woman's eyes flickered as she looked at her, but the speed was so fast that Yan Liang had no time to catch her, and she had already returned to normal. She walked to the front of the car in high heels. A piece of paint as big as her palm was wiped off where it had just been scratched. "Since you are willing to take full responsibility, then there is no need to trouble the insurance company. You happen to be an employee of EC and there is also someone I know in the EC, so I will asked him to come down here. People who knows each other will feel more at ease."

Yan Liang smiled gratefully, "Okay, don't worry, I will never default on my debts. Then ask your friend to come down. Since we are all employees of EC, I think we must know each other."

"Wait a moment."

The woman opened the car door, bent over and took out her mobile phone from the passenger seat, and dialed a number in front of Yan Liang.

The phone rang for a while before someone picked it up. Yan Liang was standing opposite the woman across the car. Naturally, she couldn't hear clearly what the person on the other end of the phone said, but she looked at this beautiful woman. The moment the woman was connected, her facial features softened, and she could tell that there must be a man on the other end.

And ... the relationship with her is extraordinary.

She just don’t know which male employee of EC is so lucky. It is undeniable that this woman is very beautiful and has an outstanding temperament. Although she looks a bit arrogant when she speaks, but from a woman’s perspective, Yan Liang admits that she has what it takes to be arrogant.

".... My car was scratched in the parking lot. Can you come down? Are you busy? I'm an employee of your company .... Well, I'll wait for you."

When the woman hung up the phone, she turned to Yan Liang and said, "Wait a moment, he will be down soon."

Yan Liang nodded and said it didn't matter.

Neither of them said anything else for a while. After about ten minutes, the elevator that was not far away dinged, the double doors slowly opened, and the two women looked towards the elevator entrance at the same time——

A tall and lofty man walked quickly from the elevator. He had one hand in his trousers pocket and a mobile phone in the other hand. He was walking in a hurry, with a handsome face that would make the whole world pale with just a slight smile. At this moment, Yan Liang's body completely stiffened ....

T/N: Well, I think this woman might be LXC’s "fiancee”, I don’t feel good about her -___-
