Chen Xixi smiled, âWaiting for me to seduce you?â
Zhou Jinyuan sighed deeply, his eyelashes drooping, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance: âWho knows if that day will ever come. After all, someone is unwilling to go public with me. Who knows, I might be fired one dayâ¦â
ââ¦â
Thatâs such a victimâs attitude, like a bullied young wife.
But he wasnât like that when he was hitting someone just now.
With a fierce aura, his punches landed with a solid thud, looking extremely daunting.
âDing,â the elevator door opened.
The two walked into the elevator one after another, Zhou Jinyuan pressing the button to close the door.
Chen Xixi spoke up: âItâs my first time seeing you hit someone. It was quite savage. You wonât become abusive at home, right?â
Zhou Jinyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Xixi: âHow could that be the same? Besides, I donât hit women.â
Chen Xixi felt relieved.
Then Zhou Jinyuan seriously added, âPlus, I donât often resort to violence. If that Tao guy had only said some other stuff to you, I probably would have just taught him a lesson, making sure he canât get along in this industry. But he had dirty thoughts about you. As a boyfriend, I canât tolerate even a little bit of that.
âDonât lump this together with domestic violence; these are two entirely different issues.â
Chen Xixi nodded, smiling: âGot it. But Iâm very satisfied with your performance today.â
Although she usually doesnât like to rely on her boyfriend, when itâs crucial that her boyfriend stands up for her and backs her up, such actions really give her a sense of security and make her happy.
The corners of Zhou Jinyuanâs lips curved up slightly: âOnly satisfied verbally?â
âWhat else do you want?â
He said, âLetâs go public. Then no one would dare to bully you, and Iâd feel at ease. Otherwise, thereâs so much fresh meat in the entertainment industry, all eyeing you.â
Thereâs no need for fresh meat from the entertainment industry; thereâs already a piece of fresh meat at his home eyeing her.
And just now, that piece of fresh meat even suggested that she take his money and run away.
But Chen Xixi didnât say anything; she worried that Jin Cheng would be beaten to death.
One look at Tao Binâs fate told her everything.
If she caused unrest between Zhou Jinyuan and his nephew Jin Cheng due to her, the wealthy Ms. Zhen would definitely develop an aversion to her.
The elevator stopped on the basement level, and Zhou Jinyuan extended his hand to block the way, letting Chen Xixi exit first.
After getting into the car, Chen Xixi said, âWait until my company is stable. If we are still together by then, weâll go public.â
Zhou Jinyuan thought to himself, wouldnât that be soon?
Supporting a company from the beginning was nothing for him.
He smiled looking at Chen Xixi: âOkay.â
Chen Xixi fell silent for two seconds, then suddenly asked, âDo you have something important to do today?â
Zhou Jinyuan answered casually: âItâs alright, I have a shareholdersâ meeting.â
Chen Xixi frowned, âWhen is it?â
Zhou Jinyuan looked at his watch and said unhurriedly: âTwo and a half hours ago.â
Although she had never been a boss, she still knew a thing or two. Shareholdersâ meetings were generally about making important decisions for the company. Yet Zhou Jinyuan described it so casually, even keeping the companyâs shareholders waiting for two and a half hours!
Most importantly, it was all because of her!
She felt somewhat guilty inside.
âThen you should hurry over. Iâll take a cab back on my own!â
Zhou Jinyuan watched Chen Xixi looking anxious, and he calmly smiled, taking her hand: âItâs not anything important, donât worry.â
He had cut off the Xu Familyâs income sources three times, and this time he directly and ostentatiously ended their cooperation, causing the Xu Familyâs business to get worse and worse recently.
Fuming, the Xu Family surreptitiously stirred up the shareholders in their company to put some pressure on him.
Hence, todayâs shareholder meeting was called.
Chen Xixi: âDonât bluff me, Iâve never been to a shareholder meeting.â
âHow about I take you with me?â
Chen Xixiâs eyes spun, and then the corners of her lips curled up: âNo need, lest people in your company start calling me a fox spirit and say Iâm holding you up from your duties.â
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled softly: âItâs really not that important, it can be settled in three minutes. Iâll send you back first, then Iâll go to the meeting.â
Zhou Jinyuan originally intended to escort Chen Xixi upstairs, but she refused and kept urging him to hurry back to his meeting.
Chen Xixi: âThe head director already knows about our relationship. You donât have to step in anymore. Rest assured, nobody will bully me anymore, and Iâm not someone who can be bullied by just anyone. You have to believe in my fighting abilities!â
In the end, Zhou Jinyuan could only watch as Chen Xixi walked into the building.
Back to the program recording site.
The attitude of the head director had a one-eighty degree change towards Chen Xixi, and there was also the incident where Tao Bin was beaten up again and ended up in the emergency room, which the head director had heard about.
It seemed that President Zhou was really smitten.
This young lady is really something!
Chen Xixi returned to the observation room, and instantly the live broadcast room livened up.
[Chen Xixi is back! I thought she was kicked off the show!]
[What about Wu Jingjing? Why is Wu Jingjing gone again?]
[Didnât someone just say Tianyu Media was going to deal with Chen Xixi? When will that happen? I canât wait to grab some popcorn and watch the drama unfold!]
[Quick, look at the official showâs Weibo! Wu Jingjing left the show due to health issues!]
[What health issues? Wu Jingjing looked fine just a moment ago; how could she suddenly become unwell? Isnât this too coincidental?]
[Iâm more curious about why Chen Xixi would beat up the assistant director.]
Wu Jingjing was finally sent away after the head director talked his mouth off persuading her.
But during this process, the head director did not reveal the relationship between Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan. He just mentioned that Zhongjing Groupâs President Zhou was dissatisfied with the current Guest, hence wanting to make adjustments.
The rest was left for Wu Jingjing to ponder on her own.
Before Wu Jingjing left the observation room, she was extremely reluctant.
However, her heart was filled with more confusion: Was Zhou Jinyuan truly dissatisfied with the Guest, or was he protecting Chen Xixi, dissatisfied with her?
Could it be that Zhou Jinyuan was truly captivated by Chen Xixi?
â¦
Chen Xixi had only been back in the observation room for a short while when it was time for the lunch break; she went to the resting room to wait for Li Jia to bring her a special fat-reducing meal.
Before Li Jia arrived, Jin Cheng followed into the room, asking anxiously: âWhat happened? What did the head director say to you? Where did you go just now? How was the issue with Tao Bin resolved?â
Sitting in her chair, scrolling her phone, Chen Xixi answered: âItâs fine, itâs all resolved. Zhou Jinyuan helped with it.â
Chen Xixi said this to make Jin Cheng give up.
Who knew that Jin Chengâs focus was not here, âEven so, is he still unwilling to make your relationship public?! Seriously consider my suggestion from earlier! Iâm not joking! Plus, Iâm younger than him; I can live longer and definitely treat you better!â
Chen Xixi put down her phone and looked at Jin Cheng seriously: âBeing with him is just not public; running away with you, by tomorrow our names would be on a wanted list, under the charges of defrauding money.â
Running off with the money isnât that defrauding money?
In the dressing room inside the resting area, Wu Jingjing, who had just finished changing clothes, heard all this critical information and was shocked to the core!
