Chapter 384: Chapter 359 The Shooting Soccer Ball

After arriving at the company, Li Chen headed to the laboratory.

Most of the employees were already there, and they greeted Li Chen with smiles.

"Mr. Cheen, good morning!"

"Mr. Cheen, good morning."

They nodded and smiled, and Li Chen responded to each one, but after scanning the room, he noticed that Wang Qianqian was nowhere to be seen.

As time went on and it was almost time to start work, Wang Qianqian still hadn’t appeared.

"Alright, everyone, stop for a moment. I have something to tell you." Wang Lei gathered everyone together.

"You all must have seen the cases that President Lin has taken on. Whether we can succeed depends on if our lab can develop those few perfumes within the specified time." Wang Lei looked at everyone, "As usual, after these cases are completed, there will be a bonus and vacation. Now tell me, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The employees were instantly excited, seeing as bonuses were sometimes several times higher than the salary, especially for big cases like these.

"Okay, then let’s start. You must have seen the materials given to you." Wang Lei said, then turned to Li Chen with a slight smile, "Mr. Cheen, it’s a good thing you came today."

"Where’s Qianqian?" Li Chen asked, puzzled.

"Qianqian took a leave of absence, but it’s okay since you’re here. You’re worth two people," Wang Lei said with a chuckle.

Li Chen didn’t mind his teasing. Wang Qianqian’s absence meant that what happened last night must have been too much for her to handle, and she didn’t know how to face him—so she chose to avoid it.

This silly girl.

Li Chen sighed inwardly.

Then, for the whole morning, Li Chen was busy with the other laboratory staff, working on developing new perfumes.

With Li Chen’s help, everyone’s progress was exceptionally rapid.

Soon, it was noon, and not long after, Li Chen’s phone rang.

It was Xiaoxiao who was calling.

"What’s up?"

"Take me to school," Xiaoxiao pouted on the other end.

"Don’t you always go by yourself? Why do you need me to take you?" Li Chen was taken aback.

"I don’t care. Are you coming or not?" Xiaoxiao on the other end started acting willfully.

Li Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "You say it like that, how can I not go?"

Xiaoxiao’s behavior was definitely abnormal.

Li Chen left the company, pondering over the matter, and then his spirits lifted. Could it be that after his onslaught last night, Xiaoxiao’s attitude had inexplicably changed?

The thought carefully considered, the banter they had that morning did seem to hint at such a possibility.

Could it be time to take down his sister-in-law?

Li Chen’s spirits rose at the thought; this was an opportunity to seize.

Afterward, Li Chen returned to the villa, excitedly pushing open the large doors, only to find Lin Xiaoxiao sitting on the couch, eating ice cream, and watching TV.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up as Li Chen came in and then said, "Brother-in-law, did you bring my sister’s car back?"

Li Chen was startled. "Why would I bring the car back?"

"How else are you going to take me to school?"

"Don’t you have a car?"

"My car is broken, sent it for repairs," Lin Xiaoxiao said irritatedly.

"Why didn’t you explain clearly on the phone?" Li Chen muttered in frustration.

"I was clear. I said ’take me.’ Obviously, that only makes sense if you have a car. Otherwise, I could’ve just driven myself to school. Why would I need you to come back?" Lin Xiaoxiao argued convincingly.

Li Chen nearly fainted.

...

Finally, Li Chen, together with Lin Xiaoxiao, took a taxi straight to Linchuan University.

Of course, Li Chen had also asked why Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t think of taking a cab, and after thinking about it, she simply said it hadn’t occurred to her, which almost made Li Chen faint again.

This Xiaoxiao, really...

It wasn’t long before they got out of the car.

"Brother-in-law, you have to take me to the dormitory," Lin Xiaoxiao said.

"Alright, since I’m already here." Li Chen then accompanied Lin Xiaoxiao as they walked towards the campus.

As they walked, Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Chen, "Brother-in-law, do you really not remember what happened last night?"

"Huh? I don’t remember, I might have drunk too much," Li Chen said.

Lin Xiaoxiao observed Li Chen’s expression and couldn’t help feeling discouraged; she couldn’t tell from his expression whether he was telling the truth or not.

To reach Lin Xiaoxiao’s dormitory from the school gate, they had to pass by the football field, and as they did, they saw that the stands were packed with spectators.

"Wow! So handsome!" came the cheers from the female students.

"Goal at halftime! My goodness!"

"Who’s that guy? He looks good and plays well; isn’t he going to steal most of the girls’ hearts?" A male student said somewhat jealously as he watched a figure on the football field.

"Dude, he already has, haven’t you seen those girls up in the stands? They’re practically going crazy," another person beside him shook his head.

Another person looked at the cheering and screaming girls and felt even more puzzled, "Who the heck is this guy anyway? I’ve never seen him around the school before."

"Don’t say you haven’t seen him, I haven’t either," the person said with a wry smile.

"Talk about being uninformed, don’t you know Yi Mu?" At that moment, a girl in front of them spoke up.

The others also turned their gaze towards her.

"Yi Mu just came to our school recently; he’s an international student," the girl said.

"But I didn’t notice anything foreign about him," another male student was even more baffled.

That girl said impatiently, "He’s the son of Chinese Yi Cheng; he’s Chinese, one of our Huaxia people, alright?"

International student?

Hearing this girl say that, those few boys suddenly came to a realization, and also, the name Chinese Yi Cheng seemed somewhat familiar.

"Yi Mu has money, looks handsome, and has a mild personality; he’s like a White Knight straight out of an anime," the girl said as she stared entranced at the figure dribbling the ball on the football field.

The boys who saw her expression couldn’t help but feel goosebumps all over.

For an ugly girl, this was just too disgusting!

On the football field, Yi Mu was making a breakthrough with the ball. Honestly, he was indeed handsome.

At a height of 1.8 meters, even the football attire couldn’t hide his robust muscles, and at this moment, as he ran, his figure resembled a swift cheetah as he successively broke past two players, once again eliciting cheers from the stands.

Meanwhile, Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao happened to be passing by the side of the football field.

Yi Mu, who was in the midst of breaking through, suddenly halted his sprinting and lightly tapped the football in front of him. Instantly, the ball was lobbed high up, directly in front of him!

"He’s going to shoot!"

"Yi Mu, come on, I love you!"

"Yi Mu, come on!"

"This shot will definitely go in!"

The stands erupted in a chorus of shouts, but just then, Yi Mu spotted Li Chen and Wang Qianqian walking by.

As the football fell, Yi Mu kicked it powerfully, and with a huge force, the ball rocketed towards the goal!

However, the direction of the football wasn’t towards the goal; it seemed to veer off course, shooting straight towards Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao!
