Chapter 130: Chapter 130 [Reward Tickets for Additional Update!]

Secretary Zhang’s inner thoughts: Is this the same president who just had a stern face and serious, cold words in the meeting room?

Suddenly chatting about this, Secretary Zhang expressed that it was the first time in the years he had worked with the president.

Such a question, before today, would have been downright impossible.

If you were talking about the lottery, there would still be some chance of winning, but in the case of our president, that chance would be zero.

And then, "Have you ever received a gift from a girl?"

Seeing that Secretary Zhang was stunned and did not speak, Song Jinze waved his hand, "Forget it, you’ve never dated, asking you is fruitless."

Secretary Zhang: ...

President, you hadn’t dated before you married either!

If the two of them were compared, the president had just beaten him to getting a marriage certificate, that’s all.

Wait a minute, Secretary Zhang realized, and blurted out, "President, isn’t that tie from your wife?"

Heavens! It wasn’t that he was slow to react, but with such an odd color for a tie, he just couldn’t imagine it being a gift from the wife.

After all, the wife’s taste wouldn’t be so bad to choose something like this, how could it be...

Song Jinze responded in his deep voice, "Mm."

Not only that but Secretary Zhang also saw a faint pleasure in the president’s eyes and brows...

Indeed, apart from his wife, no one else could make the usually stern president wear such a ’stylish’ tie!

Luckily, the president is handsome; otherwise, this tie really could lead one astray.

Secretary Zhang left the president’s office and sat at his own desk deep in thought...

Meanwhile, inside Huanya Group, several gossipy male and female colleagues from various departments had gathered together to form a small group chat, ranging from the front desk on the first floor to the assistants in the president’s secretary office at the top, involving dozens of people.

Everyone was secretly discussing the president’s strangely colored tie that he wore to work today in the group chat;

[Front Desk Sister]: I checked just now, the president’s tie is not a cheap item!

[Logistics Department Gossip No. 1]: I just overheard other people in the company saying that the president’s tie was a gift from a woman, do you know who it was?

[President’s Secretary Assistant]: This question, I think, apart from our secretary office’s Secretary Zhang, nobody would possibly know.

[Gossip Employee No. 3]: Could it be from the president’s wife?

[Front Desk Sister]: I’ve been in the company for 436 days, and the president’s attire has always been in the three color schemes of black, white, and gray. The only time he wore a different color tie was dark blue. Today’s garish and eye-catching purple is not his usual style; it can’t possibly be from his wife.

[Gossip Employee No. 2]: Mhm, I agree, although the president’s wife hasn’t appeared, I can feel that someone who could be the woman behind our president wouldn’t have such poor taste.

Just as the discussion in the group chat was heating up, a new member joined the chat, with the nickname [Logistics Department Fairy].

The Little Fairy greeted everyone with an emoji as soon as she entered the group and then sent several messages in a row;

[Logistics Department Fairy]: Do you all really want to know where the president’s tie came from?

Are you all really curious?

Anyone who wants to know, just send me a red packet, the price of a coffee will do, to satisfy your curiosity.

After the Logistics Department Fairy said this, the previously bustling group chat fell silent for three seconds before everyone began to @ Logistics Department Fairy;

I want to know!

The first to speak up was the Front Desk Sister.

The Logistics Department Fairy spoke again: Sure, you can know, but I’ve taken screenshots of all of you, you can’t talk about this online after you know. Just discuss it in the company, if it gets onto the internet and the president finds out, nobody is escaping.

Everyone replied in unison: OK!

They had created this group just for the sake of gossip anyway, and none of them had ever experienced the consequences of such things getting out and coming to company’s attention—serious or not.

Nor did they want to.

Subsequently, the Logistics Department Fairy shared with everyone the scene she had witnessed yesterday afternoon at China World Trade Center.

The hearts of the people in the group were all shaken... they were at a loss for words.

How come it’s Ye Zhenzhen again?

The Logistics Department Fairy had been paying extra attention to Ye Zhenzhen since last Friday’s orange incident, and happened to come across her in the mall yesterday. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thought.

She was curious to see what Ye Zhenzhen would buy in the men’s clothing store, but unexpectedly, she saw their own CEO wearing a tie from that brand this morning.

Putting all these incidents together, if someone were to say that the CEO had nothing going on with Ye Zhenzhen, that would just be unbelievable.

Even ghosts wouldn’t believe that!

A new round of discussion started in the group:

[Melon-Eating Employee No. 3]: So, you’re saying Ye Zhenzhen is kept by the CEO?

[Front Desk Sister]: That doesn’t seem right, Ye Zhenzhen is married, isn’t she? She even went on a variety show with her stepson, but she’s been tied to the CEO these past few days. I feel like there might really be something between them.

[Melon-Eating Employee No. 1]: Could it be that Ye Zhenzhen is actually the CEO’s wife?

Everyone: That’s just outrageous!

[Logistics Department Fairy]: If you were to say that the CEO is interested in Ye Zhenzhen and keeps her, I’d believe it. After all, there are rumors online that Ye Zhenzhen married an old man and became a stepmother. But to say Ye Zhenzhen is the CEO’s wife, that’s just a fantasy!

[Front Desk Sister]: Now that we know who it is, let’s all disband, okay? It’s not good to keep this up. I’m going to disband the group now.

Although the group was disbanded, those gossip-loving employees were still frantically searching for information about Ye Zhenzhen on their phones...

A little star who had been ridiculed all over the internet after getting married, to catch the attention of their CEO was quite a feat!

Some female employees with strong jealousy began to blindly blacken Ye Zhenzhen on Weibo after reading this, though they dared not mention the names Huanya or Song Jinze.

Other true melon-eating employees, after looking up Ye Zhenzhen’s recent deeds, started switching sides and grudgingly praising her...

By noon, Old Master Song sent restorative soups to both Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen through the household servants.

Secretary Zhang took the food box from the servant and brought it to the CEO’s office, "CEO, this is the lunch Grandpa Song had someone send you. Please come and eat now, or it will get cold."

Song Jinze continued to stare at the data on his computer, "Just set it there, we can eat together at noon."

Smelling the fragrance wafting from the food box, Secretary Zhang couldn’t help but swallow, the cooks at the Song family’s were comparable to those at a Seven-Star Hotel. Having had the good fortune to taste it once before, he found the experience unforgettable.

Since the CEO had said so today, naturally he wasn’t going to refuse.

Secretary Zhang happily started to open the food boxes, then the next second, he nearly petrified on the spot...

This...

Perhaps he should just forget it, this lunch was more than he could afford—and more than he could handle.

He feared that after eating this meal, blood would rush from his brain to his nose...

After arranging the food boxes, Secretary Zhang said to Song Jinze, "Enjoy your meal, CEO. I think I’ll go to the staff cafeteria."

Having said that, Secretary Zhang quickly slipped out of the CEO’s office.

When Song Jinze finally took a break and went over to the table, he glanced over the food boxes laid out, all containing nourishing ingredients!

He helplessly massaged his brows, thinking of Old Master Song’s scheming to keep them at Yunxi Li overnight, he couldn’t help but let out a wry smile...
