Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 139.2
Chapter 139.2 : I am here to congratulate her as her superior.
Century Hotel is a more formal 5-star hotel in City A. The
reason why it is formal is that there are many activities in City A, such as
banquets, and most of them are held here.
The results of this design competition have come out, and the
few who came today also have prizes to win.
After Yan Liang got off the car, she found that many reporters
were coming in and out of the hotel entrance. She subconsciously tightened her
hands. Facing the reporters, she felt a little timid from the bottom of her
heart.
She doesn’t know if she thinks too much, she always feels that
every time she sees a reporter, she will have a very uneasy feeling. Originally
thought that Liang Xi Cheng was accompanying her today, but he couldn’t be
contacted. Now she is standing here alone, and she even has no joy in receiving
the award.
Before entering the hotel, she was still a little unwilling and
called Liang Xi Cheng again, but the result was the same.
Yan Liang bit her lip, stamped her feet in annoyance, threw the
phone into her handbag, and just as she was about to leave, there was a sudden
commotion not far behind her, and someone's voice came—
"Mr. Chu, why did you come to Century Hotel today? Did
someone from Far East also win an award?"
Yan Liang's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned
around, and sure enough, she saw the man who had just got off the car not far
away.
Chu Yi Sheng was dressed more formal attire today, with a
well-cut suit wrapped around his perfect figure, and his usually unruly black
hair was combed meticulously, making him less unruly and more calm.
"Who says that someone has to win an award when they come
to Century Hotel? This isn't just for them to receive awards, right?" He
said in a low voice and gentle tone, "I just came here to discuss a
business deal. Don't block me. It's more important to do business."
A group of people laughed and were about to disperse, but the
sharp-eyed people soon spotted Yan Liang at the entrance of the hotel.
Previously, Liang Xi Cheng and Chu Yi Sheng had both admitted
their feelings for her in front of reporters. At that time, Chu Yi Sheng made a
bold confession, stating that he would never give up Bai Yan Liang no matter
what. Although this matter was left unresolved, at this moment, by such a
coincidence, the two of them actually met again. How could these gossip
paparazzi let it go?
Someone immediately stepped forward and surrounded Yan Liang.
"Miss Bai, it's Miss Bai Yan Liang. Are you here today
because you got good results in the design competition you participated in last
time?"
"... So, President Chu happened to appear here to cheer you
up?"
"Or did you already make an appointment before? Has
President Chu got the beauty?"
Not many people knew about the marriage registration between Yan
Liang and Liang Xi Cheng, so these reporters were so outspoken that Yan Liang
felt uncomfortable. However, before she could refute them, even more unpleasant
and sharp words came to her face.
"… Recently, Liang and Ye have completely broken up. I
heard that Liang has made a lot of moves. There are also rumors that Liang may
be destroyed by Liang Xi Cheng."
"Miss Bai Yan Liang, do you know that Liang is about to
fall, so you turn around and throw yourself into Mr. Chu Yi Sheng's arms
now?"
Yan Liang's face suddenly turned pale, and her burning eyes were
stained with some pure anger. She stared at the reporter who had just spoken
without blinking, and had to restrain herself tightly to prevent herself from
rushing over and slapping that person.
"You are talking nonsense!"
She pursed her lips, her face was pale, but her eyes were full
of unconvinced eyes. In front of the sound of the shutter and the flash, she
had already abandoned her timidity. The following words were all to protect
Liang Xi Cheng, "You are a reporter, can you be so unethical? Do you know
what you are saying? Who said that Liang's will go bankrupt? I tell you,
Liang's will never go bankrupt. Liang Xi Cheng is more powerful than you think!
Also, I will never leave Liang Xi Cheng. Don't put your own ideas on others and
then speak without restraint! This is very annoying!"
After yelling in one breath, she walked into the hotel without
looking back.
Leaving behind a group of reporters, one by one, they would
naturally not be embarrassed by what she said. These gossips have no
professional ethics at all. Catching news is what they pursue. Now, they just
laugh it off ...
When Yan Liang walked into the elevator, the fire in her chest
had not been completely swallowed.
She tried her best to control her anger because of the baby in
her belly. Besides, those paparazzi liked to dig into other people's privacy,
no matter whether they could bear it or not ... Forget it, why bother with
those people?
She pressed the door closing button and was about to take out
her mobile phone to call Liang Xi Cheng. At the moment when the double doors
closed, a pair of hands suddenly reached in. Feeling the external force, the
double doors of the elevator slowly opened again. Yan Liang looked up and saw
Chu Yi Sheng and his assistant standing at the door.
Obviously, the person who just stretched out his hand to open
the double doors of the elevator was Chu Yi Sheng's assistant.
"You go up first, I'll be there in a while."
"Yes."
Chu Yi Sheng walked in, Yan Liang frowned and stood aside.
"You were very brave just now." He spoke first,
stretched out his hand and casually pulled his tie, looking at Yan Liang behind
him through the elevator's mirror wall.
It had been a few days since he had entered Liang Xi Cheng's
villa so blatantly last time. Yan Liang didn't intend to talk to him. He just
said this, but she took two steps back to the corner and chose to remain
silent.
Chu Yi Sheng saw her lowering her eyes and not speaking, and he
pulled the corner of his mouth, "What? You want to show everyone in the
world your loyalty to Liang Xi Cheng, so now you don't even want to talk to
me?"
Yan Liang was actually a little afraid of Chu Yi Sheng.
It's not that he hadn't done anything excessive to her. If she
pissed off this man, he would probably ... do anything. What's more, there were
only two of them in the elevator now. She secretly glanced at the number on the
elevator. Why did it stop at the 2nd floor and not move?
"... Why didn't the elevator move?" She asked instead
of answering, pointing to the number 2 on the side, "Is it you who did it?
Chu Yi Sheng, I came here today for something ..."
"I know, aren't you here to get the award today?"
He finally turned around, and his well-dressed appearance showed
the grace and charm that a successful businessman should have, but the light in
his eyes was not what Yan Liang liked. "Congratulations, are you ready to
win the grand prize?"
Chu Yi Sheng must have known about Bai Yan Liang's matter. Of
course, he also knew that the winners of this competition would be recommended
to study abroad.
Yan Liang heard it and smiled, "Mr. Chu, if you really want
to congratulate me, I thank you. I don't need to explain anything else to
you." She went forward to press the elevator door opening button, and Chu
Yi Sheng grabbed her wrist quickly. Yan Liang frowned and shook it off. Of
course, the force he used to grab her wrist was not strong, but she looked at
him and became alert again. She was always alert to him.
Chu Yi Sheng sneered in his heart, looking at her deep eyes with
some helplessness, "Bai Yan Liang, don't look at me like that, it will
make me angry." He chuckled, "I sincerely congratulate you, and I
also sincerely ask you, are you ready to win the grand prize?"
"I won't go abroad."
Didn't he just want to know whether she would go abroad?
Yan Liang told the truth, "I have discussed this matter
with Xi Cheng. I won't go abroad. So I will tell you directly when I get the
award. Are you satisfied with this?"
Chu Yi Sheng looked at her eyes flashing, and shook his head
after a moment. There was no sharp tone, no sarcasm, he said word by word, very
seriously, "No, I am not satisfied."
Yan Liang was stunned.
He continued, "I hope you go abroad. Do you know how
chaotic City A is now? I have told you before that Liang has many problems to
solve. Liang Xi Cheng can't protect himself. You are still staying by his side.
Not only does it put a stumbling block in his way, but it also doesn't do much
good for you. In fact, this opportunity to go abroad is still good. You have a
good design talent. When you go abroad, you can study hard. 'SGA Architectural
Design' is not something you can get into just because you are rich and
powerful. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
SGA Architectural Design ...
Yan Liang certainly knew how difficult it was to get in.
Just as Chu Yi Sheng said, it is true that you can't get in just
because you have money and power. The academy recruits students once a year,
and only 10 students are accepted at a time, and they all have to have
excellent works. This time, Conquer in City A and SGA abroad recommended her,
the winner of the competition, to SGA. It is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity ...
But if she gets in, she will be separated from Liang Xi Cheng
for a year and a half.
She has thought about these things clearly before, and she will
not regret it.
"This is all my own business. Thank you for your concern,
Mr. Chu, but I have made a decision." She paused and did not intend to
dwell on this topic. There was a question in her mind before. Since the two of
them had already talked about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chu, I
saw it on the news before ... Far East is going to cooperate with Liang, is it
true?"
Chu Yi Sheng smiled. He had good-looking features, and his smile
was very charming. However, it could enter Yan Liang's eye, but not her heart.
"Do you hope it's true or false?"
Yan Liang knew that he would not answer her so readily, but
secretly, she still hoped it was true.
She actually understood the current situation of Liang's
company. Apart from the Far East, there was indeed no other shortcut that could
allow Liang's company to escape this disaster. But Chu Yi Sheng, would he be
willing to help Liang Xi Cheng?
Yan Liang expressed doubts.
"What I hope, Mr. Chu may not necessarily do it,
right?"
Yan Liang's mind turned around and she spoke with some skill.
"In fact, I have been in EC for so many years. I know that Liang's
foundation is very good. Although the cooperation with Ye's has turned out like
this, there are some losses. But I believe that you, Mr. Chu, must have studied
the current situation of Liang. If you really cooperate with Liang Xi Cheng, it
may not be a bad thing for you. Besides, weren't you also cheated by Ye Sheng
Ming before? Compared with Ye's, I believe Liang should be more in your eyes,
right?"
Chu Yi Sheng knew that this woman was very smart, but he didn't
expect that when she really talked to you in a serious manner, she really had
some little thoughts. The smile on his lips deepened, "Should I think you
are doing your best for me now?"
Yan Liang's expression froze for a moment, but she still said
nonchalantly, "Not really. Where are the eternal enemies in the business
world? There are no eternal friends either. No matter how incompatible you and
Xi Cheng are, it's just that you are young and hot-tempered and don't like each
other. But Ye Sheng Ming is different. President Chu can't be unaware of how
dirty Ye Sheng Ming's business tactics are, and he never leaves a way out for
others. The existence of such a company is actually a shame for the industry,
isn't it? Although it is said that there is no business without fraud, but if
it is too fraudulent, it really is not a business anymore."
Chu Yi Sheng raised his hands, clapped his hands, and raised his
eyebrows, "Yes, you said it well! Every word hit my mind, you are worthy
of being the woman that I, Chu Yi Sheng, like."
He stretched out his hand suddenly, and his slender fingers
quickly hooked the long hair on her shoulders. Yan Liang instinctively stepped
back, and the soft black hair slipped through his fingers. He moved his fingers
slightly, trying to grab it, but the black hair had already been pulled away.
"Mr. Chu, just talk, please stop touching me, I am already
a married woman."
Chu Yi Sheng took back his hand, "Married woman? If I, Chu
Yi Sheng, like something, I don't care whether it has been branded by someone
else."
"I am a person, not a thing!"
"Of course, you are the woman that I like."
Chu Yi Sheng raised his eyebrows, his tone was gentle, but every
word was firm and sharp, "Of course you are not a thing, but whether you
are Liang Xi Cheng's woman or not, I will not give up what I want, this is the
same reason." He said, "Yan Liang, I will wait for you. You want me
to help Liang Xi Cheng, right? Yes, but I am a businessman, I will not do
things that are not profitable, so you know what I want. If you think it
through, you can come to me at any time." He paused, and kindly reminded
her, "I'll give you a free reminder. Liang Xi Cheng gave the Liang
family's senior management 5 days. If you calculate it this way, it seems that
2 and a half days have passed. There is still half of the time. Do you think he
can turn the tide?"
Yan Liang's heart choked. Chu Yi Sheng had already pressed the
door-opening button and walked out. When he reached the door, he seemed to
remember something and turned sideways, "... Finally, congratulations to
you, my girl, you are great!"
This is the truth ... When she arrived at the award ceremony,
Yan Liang unexpectedly met Rex. Still looking as decadent as ever, the
good-looking man sitting in the guest seat, even if he looks decadent, still
exudes a unique nobleness.
Yan Liang thought of Liang Xi Cheng and naturally stepped
forward to greet him, "... Rex."
"Hmm? You came so early?"
Rex looked at one leg, glanced at Yan Liang, and played with the
phone in his hand. It was a game software he had just downloaded. He was
fiddling with it and chatted with her from time to time, "Have you found
your position? Did you come up alone?"
"... Um, Rex, did Xi Cheng come to see you last
night?"
"Yes, he did."
"Then ... when did he leave?"
"He left not long after he came last night." Rex
paused, and suddenly thought of something. He raised his head, glanced at Yan
Liang's hand, and asked, "He didn't come?"
Yan Liang frowned, and at this time she had to worry, did Liang
Xi Cheng really have something wrong?
He wouldn't be like this, not
giving me any news at all, let alone turning off his phone. If he really had no
power, he would call me in advance to tell me, and even if he was in a meeting,
he would let Guan Jiu contact me ....
Right, Guan Jiu?!
How could she forget Guan Jiu!
"I'll make a call." She turned around and took out her
cell phone, found Guan Jiu's number and dialed it. Fortunately, Guan Jiu's
phone was connected. After three rings, someone picked up the phone. Yan Liang
felt that her heart was slightly relieved, "Assistant Guan, this is Bai
Yan Liang."
"Mrs. Liang."
Guan Jiu was the only person who knew that she was married to
Liang Xi Cheng, except for her relatives. Although the relationship between the
two was considered colleagues before, it was not at the same level now. Guan
Jiu was a person who kept his duty. He spoke and acted very disciplined. He
respectfully called her Mrs. Liang, "What's the matter?"
Yan Liang was too lazy to correct his address at this time, and
only asked him anxiously, "Is Xi Cheng in the company?"
"No, Chairman Liang called me last night and asked me to
host today's meeting. I heard that he sounded a little tired, so I thought he
was not feeling well, so he would not come to the company today."
Yan Liang just breathed a sigh of relief, but now it was stuck
in her throat again. She was anxious, "He didn't go to the company?"
"... I know. If you have any news about him, please call me
back immediately."
After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly called Liang Xi Cheng,
but it was still turned off. She was so anxious that she kept waiting until
everyone was present. When it was time to present the award, she was still
holding the phone in a daze.
She won the first prize, so she was naturally the last one to go
on stage.
Several people in front had already presented their awards,
including the first prize for the final design competition. When the host read
out Yan Liang's name, the whole audience burst into warm applause, followed by
a glaring flash of lights and the sound of reporters' shutters. She raised her
head belatedly and saw the host pointing in her direction, motioning for her to
go on stage.
Yan Liang took a deep breath, finally stood up and walked
towards the stage of honor.
After winning the award, the host usually asked some questions,
basically asking her when she started learning design, and whether she had been
in the design department of EC before? After winning the award, who did she
want to thank the most?
Yan Liang answered one question after another. When she talked
about who she wanted to thank at the end, she seemed to think about it
seriously, "I want to thank someone. If it weren't for him, I might be
nothing now. At most, I would be a secretary who helps the general manager
deliver coffee and materials and occasionally accompanies him to social events.
But now I am standing here. All of this is because of his encouragement, which
has allowed me to move towards success step by step and touch my dream."
The host smiled and said, "Miss Bai, do you mind saying his
name?"
Yan Liang pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes swept around
the people in front of the stage, but still did not find the person she wanted
to see the most. She was actually very uneasy, because in such a scene, he
couldn't not accompany her, but since last night, he disappeared ...
"Miss Bai?"
She was distracted, and the host improvised. Seeing that she
didn't say anything, he quickly said, "Miss Bai may want to keep it secret
and leave a little mystery for everyone. In any case, we all congratulate Miss
Bai for such an excellent result. The first place in the competition, the
organizer has a special gift for you."
Yan Liang knew what this "special gift" was.
She calmed down her messy thoughts and waited for the host to
talk about this so-called "special gift" and was ready to refuse it
directly.
The organizer naturally arranged everything. The host said in a
very envious tone that the final winner of her competition could go to SGA
Architectural Design to study abroad for one and a half years. The whole
audience applauded warmly, but Rex in the VIP seat just raised the corners of
his lips, looked at the little apprentice on the stage who had no joy at all,
and shook his head.
—What a pity, in fact, as a master, he also had a selfish desire
for her to go.
SGA Architectural Design can be said to be the dreamland that
every designer wants to enter. In a year and a half, as long as she graduates
and comes out, plus the talents she already has, she will definitely have a
good future. He is looking forward to seeing her better works.
However ...
When love comes, no one can stop it. No matter whether it is a
huge fortune or a famous reputation, perhaps in the hearts of these infatuated
men and women, it is far less than the smile of the person they love deeply.
"... Miss Bai, this place is given to you. Are you very
excited? When will you leave? SGA seems to start school at the beginning of the
month. Are you ready to go there?"
The host handed the microphone to Yan Liang with excitement, waiting
for her answer.
Yan Liang pursed her lips, subconsciously grasped the trophy in
her hand, and finally spoke with a breath, "I'm sorry, about this, I have
already discussed it with my husband ..."
"She will leave for SGA as soon as possible."
Before Yan Liang finished her words, a deep male voice suddenly
interrupted her. The only sound left was the shutter of the camera in the hands
of the reporters. When the male voice that Yan Liang felt particularly familiar
came into her ears, she looked up and saw the figure that she had been worried
about all morning at the entrance of the hall.
Liang Xi Cheng had an upright figure and delicate features. When
he appeared, all the cameras in the audience were focused on his handsome face,
and he had a calm face. Through the eyes of countless people, his eyes were
focused on the face of the woman holding the trophy on the stage, who looked at
a loss.
The reporters were all very good at dealing with people. When
they saw Liang Xi Cheng at this time, they asked him questions one after
another.
"Mr. Liang, what identity are you here in today?"
"Mr. Liang, someone has revealed that you have a close
relationship with Miss Bai. Are you here to congratulate her today?
"The person she just said she wanted to thank, is it you,
Mr. Liang?"
"... Mr. Liang, answer, why are you answering questions for
her? How close are you two?"
Liang Xi Cheng pulled the corners of his mouth calmly, his tall
figure was like a mountain, his thin lips were sexy, and when he gently lifted
them, each word was clear and sharp, which also made Yan Liang—unbelievable.
"Bai Yan Liang competed in the name of EC, and now she has
achieved good results, and I, her superior, am also very proud of her. Of
course, I am also helping her answer this question as a superior—she will go to
SGA, as for when to go, I think she should wait until she has completed all the
procedures before leaving."
