Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Zhao Xinlian: Don’t Turn on the Light!

Shaking her head, she put an end to her wild thoughts and set her half-drunk coffee cup back onto the glass coffee table in front of her.

Zhao Xinlian frantically searched her body with both hands, looking for her phone.

"My phone... where’s my phone... Here it is! Found it!" Zhao Xinlian hastily took out her phone and accessed Zhao Corporation’s official website, logging into the management backend.

"Damn it! Why is the internet so slow right now!" she complained as she stared at the endlessly spinning white screen.

At this moment, she was almost out of her mind with anxiety.

Fortunately, after two or three seconds, the webpage loaded successfully.

She clicked to view the data, opting to see the detailed chart of the Anti-aging Cream’s sales figures.

Looking at the red line that seemed to shoot through the sky, soaring like a rocket, Zhao Xinlian could not hide her astonishment.

Then her eyes fell on the long string of blue sales numbers that were skyrocketing every second!

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one million, ten million, hundred million, billion! Ten billion!"

Zhao Xinlian lifted her beautiful eyes to Chen Wei, incredulous, "Am I seeing this right? Eighteen billion? It’s only been a few hours, and we’ve sold eighteen billion? Could there be a data glitch in the backend, a counting error?"

This was countless times higher than the target Zhao Xinlian had envisaged in her mind.

Initially, Zhao Xinlian thought that even selling tens of millions would be an exaggeration, but in reality, the situation was even more exaggerated and fantastical than she could have imagined.

In less than half a day, an eighteen-billion-yuan total in sales! This must be considered a miracle in the cosmetics industry! An unbreakable miracle!

Zhao Xinlian was convinced that by this time tomorrow, the whole of Great Xia would know about Zhao Corporation.

"It’s a pity that the factory can’t keep up with the demand, even though I contacted more than ten factories urgently, we still can’t meet the sales, otherwise, these numbers could have multiplied," Chen Wei sighed.

For a moment, Zhao Xinlian couldn’t think of how to respond to Chen Wei’s comment.

She was still so excited that she couldn’t find the words to express herself.

Worried that if this continued, she might faint from the excitement, she wasn’t exaggerating.

Then Chen Wei saw Zhao Xinlian put down her phone, placed her hand on her chest, and took deep breaths, as if trying hard to stabilize her emotions.

Chen Wei didn’t disturb her, giving Zhao Xinlian plenty of time.

After three or four minutes, Zhao Xinlian finally calmed her emotions.

"How did you do it?" Zhao Xinlian turned her head to look at Chen Wei, asking.

"I didn’t do anything. From the time you fell asleep until now, I’ve been right here in the office," he replied.

Zhao Xinlian couldn’t figure out why Chen Wei was so eager to disclaim responsibility. Was this a situation that called for that?

Zhao Xinlian even almost lost control and stood up to walk towards him, wanting to embrace him and properly thank him.

However, by the time she came to her senses, she realized she had actually done just that!

She was already plunging into Chen Wei’s arms, her hands wrapped around his back.

It turned out that none of it was an illusion.

At this point, Zhao Xinlian was too lazy to say anything else and chose to speak from the heart, "Thank you! I really appreciate it. It was you who saved Zhao Corporation; I don’t know what I would have done without you."

"After all, I own half of Zhao Corporation’s shares. I did this, not all for you."

"Mhm, I know that." Surprisingly, Zhao Xinlian didn’t retort or roll her eyes at him this time.

Glancing out the window, the sun was indeed setting in the west, and the world was still running as normal, without any issues.

After the sun had completely set, the office became pitch-black.

One minute...

Five minutes...

Ten minutes passed.

Chen Wei finally couldn’t restrain himself and asked, "Um, shouldn’t you let go and release me now?"

Let me hold you a bit longer.

Zhao Xinlian didn’t say this out loud, but her actions were perfectly interpreting such a sentence.

"So, are you being coquettish with me? Do you think of me as your daddy?" Chen Wei teased.

His words indeed had the desired effect, "Don’t talk nonsense, who’s your daddy, how could I possibly think of you as my daddy!"

"Finally willing to let go? My waist is all sore from standing," Chen Wei twisted his waist, with cracking sounds.

"..." Zhao Xinlian’s face turned slightly red, the atmosphere somewhat awkward, and the words she had in mind, she simply didn’t have the nerve to say out loud.

At that moment, the door opened, light from outside streamed in, and there stood someone at the door, "Um, I knocked, is anyone there?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xinlian quickly responded.

Just now, she had been so focused that she hadn’t even heard the knocking.

The more she thought about it, the more her face flushed.

"Do you need the lights on, President Zhao?" the person asked.

"No! No need!" Hearing this, Zhao Xinlian hurriedly objected.

How could she let that person turn on the lights? With them on, wouldn’t her embarrassed complexion and demeanor be fully exposed?

Having been seen by Chen Wei, Zhao Xinlian already felt embarrassed enough, and if seen by outsiders, Zhao Xinlian might choose to become a shut-in for life, never leaving her home, so she wouldn’t have to die of social embarrassment.

"Okay, understood," the woman replied.

Even though she didn’t quite understand why Zhao Xinlian was so agitated about whether to turn on the lights or not, she didn’t ask any further questions.

Business matters were pressing, so she said, "President Zhao, a representative from the Senmei Group has arrived downstairs and would like to see you."

"Senmei Group?" Zhao Xinlian recalled correctly, "Is it that old cosmetic manufacturing company from Great Xia?"

"That’s right," the woman answered.

"Okay, let them go to the reception room, I’ll be right there."

"Yes."

The woman closed the office door gently and left.

The room returned once more to darkness.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Xinlian, in a fluster, said, "What are you trying to do?"

"Turn on the lights, what else? Do you really like this pitch-black feeling?" Chen Wei didn’t understand either why Zhao Xinlian was so excited about the issue of turning on the lights.

"Don’t, let’s not turn on the lights for now!" Zhao Xinlian tried to stop him, but the room was too dark, and she couldn’t move an inch.

"Why?" asked Chen Wei.

"..." Zhao Xinlian didn’t know how to explain to Chen Wei.

Am I embarrassed for you to see me looking like this?

That in itself was a hard thing to say, okay!

After a long silence without a response from Zhao Xinlian, Chen Wei lost his patience.

With a click, he flipped the light switch.

The light swiftly filled the entire room.

Then he saw Zhao Xinlian covering her face with her hands, unable to hide her deep blush, glowing and seemingly drenched in color, as if a gentle squeeze would wring out water.

Even her voice, because of the intense shyness, became adorably soft, "I said, I said don’t turn on the lights~"

Zhao Xinlian stomped her feet, with a twisting gesture, but no matter how you looked or listened, she didn’t seem to be truly angry.

Rather, it gave the impression that she was still being coquettish.
