Into the Night, Jiao Jiao Gets Kissed by a Business Tycoon
Chapter 124: USB Drive

Cheng Yi took the USB drive and lightly tapped his fingers on the desk, a cold smile curling on his face, "I recall that President Zhang has a wife, doesn’t he?"

"Yes."

Cheng Yi’s gaze suddenly turned chilling, "Then do me a favor and deliver this ’gift’ to her."

Ye Rui involuntarily gasped inside, Mr. Yi was truly ruthless. President Zhang’s wife came from a peasant background, with a very hot-tempered nature. The couple started their fortune by selling pork and as their business grew larger, he ventured into the entertainment industry. It was rumored that their marital relationship was not good. Delivering this thing to her might well spark a furious storm.

However, this was not his concern. He only needed to follow the boss’s orders.

Ye Rui nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Yi."

As he stepped out of the office and saw Li Xiang blocking the doorway, Ye Rui’s typically stern face finally showed an expression, not of joy but a frown, "Move aside, I have to carry out some tasks for the boss now."

If Li Xiang was viewed as Cheng Yi’s capable assistant and secretary in the company, then Ye Rui was his indispensable right hand outside.

Li Xiang pouted unhappily but still remained steadfast, not moving an inch, "What’s the rush? I won’t take much of your time."

Facing Li Xiang’s persistence, Ye Rui was helpless. He sighed and asked, "What is it?"

"Do you have time tonight? I’d like to invite you to dinner." Li Xiang’s expression was sincerely eager.

"No time," Ye Rui refused without hesitation and brushed past her.

Li Xiang reached out and stopped him again, "Wait, what about tomorrow?"

The same cold response came, "No time."

"The day after works too."

Ye Rui finally lost his patience, facing Li Xiang, "Can we talk about this after I finish my work?"

Seeing Ye Rui’s expression, Li Xiang guessed that Mr. Yi must have assigned him some important task, because although Ye Rui was usually distant, he was not usually this unsociable.

She certainly wouldn’t want to delay Mr. Yi’s business.

Li Xiang gave a radiant smile, "Then we’ll chat on the phone tonight."

Before she even finished her sentence, Ye Rui had already walked away, but Li Xiang’s face still held a smile.

Despite the rejection, as she watched Ye Rui’s receding back, Li Xiang’s heart remained sweet.

From her first day at Yi Feng, from the very first time she met Ye Rui, she had taken a liking to him.

This man was a perfect match for her aesthetic, though his personality was somewhat cold and he could be a bit dull at times.

Previously, because Cheng Yi had to travel abroad abruptly, Li Xiang had missed the chance to express her feelings, and Ye Rui was transferred to a branch office.

It wasn’t until Cheng Yi returned that Ye Rui was transferred back, and that’s when Li Xiang decided to take initiative and pursue her happiness.

Although Ye Rui had never agreed, it didn’t matter; she could wait.

-

In Nanyang Alley, on the second floor of a private tea house, Mrs. Zhang was playing mahjong exuberantly with her close friends.

"Oh dear, Mrs. Zhang, you really do play mahjong well. You’ve won several rounds without a single loss," a rich housewife jovially remarked.

Another concurred, "Yes, playing mahjong is like doing business; with you around, your family business is sure to double."

Mrs. Zhang, lacking much education, couldn’t quite discern whether their words were truly complimenting or sneering, she just kept laughing and answered, "Oh come on, your business is doing well too."

The rich housewives exchanged a look and then one of them shifted the topic, "Mrs. Zhang, how come I haven’t seen President Zhang around lately?"

Mrs. Zhang picked a tile, considering which one to play, when she heard this, she did not hide anything, "He’s gone to Hong Kong for business."

"Gone to Hong Kong... then I must have mistaken him for someone else recently, I thought he looked so honest and straightforward, and wonder how he would do such a thing."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned, even though she was not the sharpest, she could grasp the hidden insinuation in these words, "What do you mean?"

One of the rich housewives looked somewhat distressed, but still spoke up, "Mrs. Zhang, we’ve been old friends for so many years, I won’t keep this from you. A couple of days ago, Old Huang and I were at Jialing Hotel meeting a client, and we saw a man who looked a lot like your husband coming out of the elevator."

She hesitated a bit and added, "And there was a young and beautiful woman following him."

As Mrs. Zhang had not maintained her looks in her earlier years, and coupled with her hard labor, she now appeared much older than other women of her age. When she heard the words "young and beautiful", her face instantly darkened and a wave of irritation surged within her.

Especially since this woman had been following her husband, it was bound to raise suspicions.

The rich housewives continued to stir the pot, "Mrs. Zhang, you have to be cautious. Young girls these days are really good at seducing men, especially successful men like President Zhang, they are easily tempted."

"Yes, indeed."

Mrs. Zhang was becoming increasingly unsettled by their words, and was just about to make a call to confirm things, when someone knocked on the door of the private room.

"Who is so insensitive? Don’t they know we hate being disturbed while playing mahjong?" a woman clad in a mink coat shouted displeasedly towards the door.

The door was pushed open, and the manager came in with a forced smile, "I am really sorry, but someone just delivered an item for Mrs. Zhang."

Looking at the handed-over USB drive, Mrs. Zhang asked with some confusion, "Do you know who sent it?"

"I’m not sure, the person just told me to make sure it got into your hands. I feared it might be something important, so I brought it right over."

"Did he mention what’s inside?"

"No, he said you’ll know once you see it."

The woman in the mink coat waved her hand, "Let’s see what this important thing is all about, manager, get a laptop over here."

Once the laptop was fetched, Mrs. Zhang did not think twice, plugging in the USB drive immediately.

As the USB was slowly accessed, a video appeared on the screen.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and clicked on the video where a man and a woman were engaged in a shameful act.

Everyone was shocked as they gazed at the scene, speechless. Although the lighting in the video was dim, the faces of the man and the woman were clearly visible.

The man was none other than Mrs. Zhang’s husband.
