Chapter 103: Chapter 103: A Bolt from the Blue
To Zheng Qiuhang, Wang Chenning’s words were like a bolt from the blue.
The two words, "Jealous now?" held so many implications for her.
This beautiful, elegant woman who had arrived in a Rolls-Royce Phantom definitely had an unusual relationship with Wang Chenning.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be jealous.
If she had to compete with a woman like that for a man, Zheng Qiuhang felt she didn’t stand a one-in-ten-thousand chance of winning.
’Just what is Wang Chenning’s background? Why are all the women around him princess-level?’
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaofei came back with a stunning retort.
"What right do I have to be jealous? I’m just a woman who’s been cast aside!"
These words once again left Zheng Qiuhang dumbfounded.
A woman who drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions, with a figure she herself envied immensely, and a flawlessly beautiful face—and Wang Chenning actually cast her aside?
’This... What kind of world is this?’
’If such an outstanding woman gets cast aside, is there any justice left in this world?’
Her head was spinning.
"Let me make some introductions!" Wang Chenning, however, looked completely unfazed. "This is Yang Xiaofei, the president of Lingyang Group. And this is Zheng Qiuhang, the general manager I just recruited for Li Garden Hall. President Zheng, whenever Miss Yang comes here, you are to personally receive her and make all the arrangements. Understand?"
"Understood!" Zheng Qiuhang finally snapped out of it and quickly agreed, but she still looked a bit flustered. She subconsciously tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear to hide her awkwardness.
"Thank you!" Yang Xiaofei said.
"Miss Yang, this way, please!" Zheng Qiuhang made an elegant gesture of invitation and then led the way.
Without needing instructions from Wang Chenning, she led Yang Xiaofei toward the private room he had just been in.
After bringing the two to the room, she personally went to arrange for tea and snacks.
After sitting down in the private room, Yang Xiaofei looked at Wang Chenning with a half-smile. "You have good taste. You just took over the hall and have already roped in such an outstanding manager!"
"I saved her life three times. If she still wasn’t devoted to me after that, I’d really start to question my own character!" Wang Chenning chuckled. "You, the great President Yang, are a brilliant judge of character. Since you also say she’s an outstanding manager, then I’ll be sure to develop her properly!"
"Even if you don’t develop her, she’s already willing to die for you. If you go and..." Yang Xiaofei trailed off, stopping herself mid-sentence.
She felt that if she said any more, Wang Chenning would just tease her about being jealous again.
Wang Chenning smiled. "She’s a pitiful person, too. And I think that after everything she’s been through, she’ll definitely be loyal to the person who saved her from danger. I came to Yanjing alone with no one I can rely on. I’ll take who I can get!"
"I have quite a few good managers, many of them are professional executives. If you need some, I can give you a few." Fearing Wang Chenning might misunderstand, Yang Xiaofei quickly added, "As long as you offer a high salary, they’ll definitely be willing to come work for you."
"That works too!" Wang Chenning readily agreed. "Then pick a few well-rounded people for me. I’ll definitely offer them high salaries!"
Yang Xiaofei nodded.
"Thanks in advance!"
"I actually came to find you today to finalize the details of our medical collaboration." Yang Xiaofei looked at Wang Chenning candidly. "Your grandfather called me yesterday to ask about it. He said he would be making a trip to Yandu before the New Year!"
"So you’re saying, if our collaboration hasn’t made any substantial progress by the time he comes to Yandu, I’m going to get a beating?"
"I didn’t say that!" Yang Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Wang Chenning.
"It’s so hot in this room, yet you’re still bundled up so tightly. Are you afraid someone will see your amazing figure?" Wang Chenning smiled, stood up, and walked behind Yang Xiaofei. "Here, let me be your servant for a moment!"
"Thank you!" Wang Chenning’s gesture was clearly meant to be teasing, but unexpectedly, Yang Xiaofei didn’t seem to mind at all. She unfastened the buttons of her trench coat and let him help her take it off.
Just then, Zheng Qiuhang brought someone in with refreshments. Seeing the intimate scene between the two, she froze for a second, her heart instantly filling with disappointment.
’They’re so close!’
After taking off her overcoat, Yang Xiaofei sat up even straighter.
The tight-fitting sweater she wore underneath accentuated her incredibly graceful figure. Even Zheng Qiuhang felt a pang of envy watching her.
’Such a great body, such a beautiful face, and so rich... Wang Chenning is truly blessed with women.’
After setting down the items, she retreated with a look of dejection.
"Your President Zheng has fallen for you!" After Zheng Qiuhang left, her heart full of disappointment, Yang Xiaofei teased Wang Chenning playfully. "When she saw you helping me with my coat, her face was filled with nothing but disappointment!"
Wang Chenning gave a sarcastic look. "Since when did the great President Yang become so interested in gossip?"
"One has to stay concerned about one’s own fiancé’s romantic affairs, no?" Yang Xiaofei’s expression was calm as she said this.
"It seems I’m slowly getting to know another side of President Yang!" Wang Chenning didn’t want to get dragged into this pointless conversation with Yang Xiaofei. "You should have the detailed plan for our collaboration ready, right?"
"I just had Lv Qinglan prepare it for me!" Yang Xiaofei took a document out of her bag and placed it in front of Wang Chenning.
Wang Chenning picked up a pen and asked Yang Xiaofei, "Where do I sign?"
Yang Xiaofei looked at Wang Chenning, surprised. "You’re not even going to look at it?"
"The worst that can happen is that you sell me out and I help you count the money!" Wang Chenning said with a laugh. "It’s a rare sight to see the great President Yang looking so shocked. It’s totally worth it!"
In return, he got another eye-roll from Yang Xiaofei. "If you’re not afraid of me screwing you over, then go ahead and sign."
Wang Chenning picked up the pen and signed his name with a flourish at the end of the collaboration agreement.
"There’s a traditional medicine forum in a few days, about a week from now. The attendees should all be heavyweights from the world of traditional medicine." Yang Xiaofei spoke slowly as she signed her own imposing name. "I don’t know if Lu Yuanshan invited you to attend!"
"He called yesterday, but I turned him down!" Wang Chenning had no interest in attending such a conference. He had too much to do lately!
"How about you accompany me then!" Yang Xiaofei flashed a rare smile. "I heard that Rong Hongwei will be attending with his grandson. Besides, a lot of famous traditional medicine masters want to meet you, the boy genius doctor. Those old men are definitely not convinced by you and want to take you down a peg at the conference. Your grandfather said you’ve always wanted to revitalize Huaxia’s traditional medicine, so why would you miss an opportunity like this? I also heard that after the conference, the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine is organizing an exchange group to visit South Korea and Japan."
"Alright!" Hearing what Yang Xiaofei said, Wang Chenning thought for a moment and agreed. "Then I’ll go with you to the conference and put on a show. Then I’ll figure out a way to take a bunch of old men on a tour to Japan and South Korea, and we’ll grind those arrogant Japanese and South Koreans into the dust!"
Wang Chenning really couldn’t figure out what on earth Yang Xiaofei was thinking.
He had seen how much Yang Xiaofei had changed since they’d met.
Her resentment was written all over her face. Therefore, he didn’t believe she sought him out so often because she had fallen for him, but simply because she couldn’t accept the situation.
She was acting, and he was forced to play along. As for how this play would end, who the hell knew.
After agreeing to Yang Xiaofei’s request, Wang Chenning asked, "You want me to go with you so that everyone will know you’re my fiancée?"
"Can’t I?" Yang Xiaofei put on another playful expression. "If I were to tell Zheng Qiuhang about this, would she start treating me like the boss’s wife?"
Before Wang Chenning could reply, he received a text message.
"A Miss Yang wants to see you. She won’t give her full name, only saying that Brother Ning will definitely see her!"
Wang Chenning texted back, "Bring her in. Don’t let her know I’m with a guest. Just say I’m here alone!"
"Okay, understood!" Zheng Qiuhang had even added two awkward-face emojis at the end of her message.
A moment later, the sound of light footsteps approached, followed by a sickeningly sweet voice. "My dearest Brother Ning, your gentle, sweet, and adorable little sister-in-law is here to see you! Have you missed me these past few days?"
