Although the secretaries in the secretary’s office knew that a Mr. Zeng Xiaocheng would be visiting at this time, they were taken aback by the young man before them. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving an impression of decency, yet his flirtatious eyes and roaming gaze made him seem rather unruly.

Such an unruly character had managed to get to the floor of the CEO’s office...

For a moment, the secretaries were puzzled, let alone considering the question Zeng Xiaocheng asked.

Delivery person?

Where’s any delivery person coming from?

There was no response over here, but over there, Secretary Luo, who had just come out of the CEO’s office after delivering documents, immediately recognized him upon seeing Zeng Xiaocheng,

"Is it Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Xiaocheng retracted his previous playful expression, shook his shoulders, and straightened his chest,

"I am."

"Mr. Zeng, hello. My surname is Luo. You can just call me Secretary Luo. The President has been waiting for you in the office for quite a while. I’ll show you the way. Secretary Zhang, go make coffee and bring it in later."

After giving instructions, Secretary Luo turned to Zeng Xiaocheng and said,

"I’ve heard President Yin mention you before, saying you love Blue Mountain coffee. Knowing you’d be visiting today, President Su had us prepare it early this morning."

"Mrs. Yin is considerate."

Zeng Xiaocheng was well aware that Su Xiaomeng was Yin Shixiu’s wife. It was precisely because she was Yin Shixiu’s wife that Zeng Xiaocheng insisted on meeting her personally and made a special trip when he knew the Yin Group was in trouble.

With Secretary Luo leading the way, Zeng Xiaocheng and the man beside him entered the CEO’s office together. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Su Xiaomeng and Chen Lan were reviewing the summary of last year’s projects from the Bill Group.

Seeing Secretary Luo bringing in two people, Su Xiaomeng stood up.

Su Xiaomeng knew Zeng Xiaocheng was a young yet extraordinarily talented individual.

Being called a "Stock God" is certainly remarkable.

Su Xiaomeng had heard Yin Shixiu mention this figure before, when there was a direct business battle with the Shengde Group, it was this individual who backed up Yin Shixiu.

"Mr. Zeng, hello, I am..."

"Mrs. Yin, I’ve often heard Brother Shixiu mention you. We’re old acquaintances, no need to be formal with me."

Zeng Xiaocheng politely shook the hand Su Xiaomeng extended, then introduced the man beside him,

"This is my best friend, Qi An, who is also my personal bodyguard."

"Mr. Qi, hello."

Su Xiaomeng also shook hands with Qi An, "Please sit down, Secretary Luo, Mr. Zeng likes——"

"President Su, I’ve already asked someone to make coffee."

"Good."

Su Xiaomeng responded with a smile and invited Zeng Xiaocheng to sit down, while Qi An sat beside him.

Xiao Meng and Chen Lan sat opposite them. Chen Lan knew a bit more about Zeng Xiaocheng than Su Xiaomeng, but it didn’t change the fact that all four were meeting for the first time.

Xiao Meng was evidently a bit nervous, unfamiliar with the formalities and small talk in business.

For a moment, she had no idea how to start the conversation...

She was already somewhat uneasy, and with a pair of big eyes staring intently at her from across the table... it made Su Xiaomeng even more uneasy.

Ever since he came in, this Zeng Xiaocheng had been eyeing her, with a scrutinizing gaze that made her uncomfortable.

But unfortunately, before Zeng Xiaocheng arrived, Su Xiaomeng had pinned her hopes of solving the Yin Group’s current issues on him.

"Mr. Zeng, do I look strange? You’re staring at me like that..."

"Mrs. Yin, please don’t misunderstand, it’s my fault for being impolite."

"Hehe..."

Su Xiaomeng laughed dryly, but inwardly complained, if he knows it’s impolite, why keep staring!

"Mrs. Yin may not know, I’m famous for being a playboy, and for someone like me, I really can’t understand those men who keep themselves pure for women."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng raised an eyebrow.

Honesty is good, but it was the first time Su Xiaomeng met someone who so proudly and arrogantly spoke of being a "playboy" and "not keeping oneself pure".

In broad daylight...

"The men I’ve met, whether married or single, I’ve never seen anyone who could truly resist outside temptations. It’s in men’s nature to flirt."

Su Xiaomeng continued to smile, but her smile was wavering.

Where’s security... can they throw out this morally twisted, cynical, shameless man?

"Before, when I went to an entertainment club with Brother Shixiu, it was said to be for business discussions, but it was just for fun. Men’s friendships are built on having fun together..."

Su Xiaomeng’s eyes darkened, what was this man trying to say!

She felt that if she listened any further, she’d really lose her temper, forget patience, forget thinking about the big picture, forget Stock God, forget miraculous hands... damn it!

Xiao Meng felt that listening to this person was ruining her outlook on life!

"Chen——"

"But Brother Shixiu is different."

Su Xiaomeng’s mouth was open, and had Zeng Xiaocheng said this a couple of seconds later, she would’ve told Chen Lan to call security and throw him out.

Zeng Xiaocheng’s expression remained calm, his thick eyebrows and big eyes lending him an air of righteousness, and he continued,

"Even if a beautiful woman stood in front of him, he wouldn’t spare a glance. No matter how wild others got, he never wavered."

"..."

"He has a wife, and that’s his reason to reject all temptations. He’s not a fake gentleman wearing a mask..."

"So I’ve always thought if I ever met Mrs. Yin, I must see what kind of woman could make a man, who has every right and resource to indulge, stay pure."

Su Xiaomeng’s open mouth slowly closed.

In her once indifferent eyes, a touch of warmth finally emerged.

She thought, Yin Shixiu is truly a deviously cunning man, even when he’s not around, he uses others’ words to constantly remind her of his goodness, loyalty, and deep affection...

She thought,

Even if he were truly dead.

For the rest of her life, she’d have to live on memories, with no possibility of falling for another.

Her nose tingled, and for a moment, her eyes reddened uncontrollably, the intensity in her eyes startled her...

She quickly sniffed, looked up to meet Zeng Xiaocheng’s gaze,

"I’m sorry, I lost my composure."

Xiao Meng’s emotions were all seen by Zeng Xiaocheng.

"It’s alright. It’s because of Mrs. Yin’s unwavering deep affection for Brother Shixiu that he remains loyal and faithful to you..."

As he said this, a flicker of emotion also crossed Zeng Xiaocheng’s eyes, one of... envy, longing, and deep helplessness.

No one saw it, and the emotion slipped away.

For an ordinary person to have such a love is already difficult, not to mention, he was unlike ordinary people...

Su Xiaomeng hurried to regain her composure. Zeng Xiaocheng wasn’t here to listen to her sentimentality.

"I’m sure Mr. Zeng is already aware of the Yin Group’s stock plunge before coming here. I wonder if Mr. Zeng is willing to——"

Su Xiaomeng hadn’t finished her sentence when the secretary’s internal phone rang again. Chen Lan stood up to answer,

"Mr. Chen, the head of the HR department and several senior managers of the company want to see President Su. It seems to be... a resignation issue..."

Chen Lan frowned slightly, glanced at Su Xiaomeng...

"What’s the matter?"

Chen Lan hesitated about whether to speak since there were outsiders present.

Feeling Chen Lan’s hesitation, Su Xiaomeng quickly said,

"Just say it directly, Mr. Zeng is not an outsider."

Chen Lan then truthfully conveyed what the secretary had said, Su Xiaomeng pressed her lips and said, "Let them in."

To be honest, Chen Lan was somewhat surprised by Su Xiaomeng’s decision, but he complied.

Xiao Meng said to Zeng Xiaocheng,

"You might see something amusing soon, just please don’t laugh at me."

"Why would I? It’s quite normal for company executives to consider resigning at times like these, just handle it naturally and pretend we’re not here."

Su Xiaomeng nodded,

"Then please wait a moment."

She stood up and returned to her desk.

The head of the HR department, aged thirty-five, entered along with three others, the Marketing Manager, the Sales Manager, and the Public Relations Manager.

They were of similar age and had all worked at the Yin Group for at least five years.

When they walked in, they hadn’t expected there to be others in the room... but asked no questions.

They proactively handed their resignation letters to Su Xiaomeng.
