Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me
Chapter 104: V14: Were high-level negotiations in the past always so pressing and confrontational?

Chapter 104: V14: Were high-level negotiations in the past always so pressing and confrontational?

The two men’s mutual distrust and lack of communication made the scene very strange.

Only those involved are confused, while bystanders see clearly.

Gu Zixuan, whose guilty conscience made her nervous, really couldn’t perceive the hidden undercurrents in the air.

Just to calm her racing heart, she looked up and asked, "Brother Yu, where will you stay tonight? Is it far?"

Yu Yuanshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, paused, and chuckled, "Not far, at the Carlton International Hotel."

He paused, then with a faint glance towards Feng Chengjin, said: "But is it alright for you to stay here tonight? Who’s staying overnight with you? Why not come stay with me?"

To Gu Zixuan, it was a question, but to Feng Chengjin, it was a provocation.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.

Qin Nuo and Jiang Yuan were startled, while Feng Chengjin looked on coldly.

Gu Zixuan hesitated, thinking that disturbing Feng Chengjin wasn’t appropriate in itself, not to mention the awkwardness between them...

After a while, she slowly opened her lips...

But before she could speak, Feng Chengjin took the lead, "It’s already midnight and changing accommodations would be troublesome. You still need intravenous slow-infusion therapy tomorrow, so let’s stop bothering with this."

Gu Zixuan pursed her lips at his direct and domineering decision, thinking, maybe he had a point.

Before she could respond, Yu Yuanshen laughed, "But Gu Zixuan isn’t just a casual acquaintance with Mr. Feng, is she? To make someone toil away at night and even spend money on them, only to have them worry and stay overnight, isn’t it a bit inconsiderate?"

Gu Zixuan blushed, and Feng Chengjin’s cold lips twitched, "Nothing inconsiderate about it; isn’t President Yu also here on a business trip? At least I have a female colleague to help out here. If Secretary Ou is there with President Yu, they’d be two men - wouldn’t Miss Gu feel even more uncomfortable wanting privacy?"

Gu Zixuan’s face burned, while Yu Yuanshen added, "I can hire a temporary nanny, it’s perfectly appropriate, but for Mr. Feng’s situation, having a female secretary care for someone who isn’t a young madam seems odd."

And you’re a man divorced for two years, taking care of her isn’t odd?

Feng Chengjin scoffed inwardly, wanting to retort.

Seeing the two of them about to speak again, Gu Zixuan couldn’t hold back and said, "Alright, let me handle it."

Both men fell silent, Yu Yuanshen shrugged indifferently.

Feng Chengjin’s dark eyes looked deeply at Gu Zixuan.

Gu Zixuan lowered her gaze, glancing at her swollen ankle, said, "I won’t change places tonight..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanshen’s gaze tightened.

"But tomorrow, I’ll stay with Brother Yu, it’s inappropriate to disturb Mr. Feng any longer."

While speaking, Gu Zixuan gave Feng Chengjin an apologetic look.

Her expression showed genuine gratitude towards Feng Chengjin, and regret for troubling him further.

Yu Yuanshen breathed a sigh of relief, his lips sneered coldly when he looked at Feng Chengjin.

Feng Chengjin did not take it seriously, his eyes remained cold.

Ignoring Yu Yuanshen’s gaze, he supported his chin with one arm, sitting lazily on the sofa like a king gazing over his domain.

His expression wasn’t much, but at the end, he asked, "You mean you won’t attend the Dresden State Orchestra concert the day after tomorrow?"

What?

Remembering this matter, Gu Zixuan’s face visibly froze for a moment.

Soon, Yu Yuanshen understood her hesitation, and the harshness in his eyes slowly turned gentle as he felt a pang looking at her face possibly hurt by the He Family, somewhat speculating on Feng Chengjin’s intentions. .com

With relaxed shoulders, he looked at her and asked, "Really want to listen?"

Unsure if she should say yes, Gu Zixuan knew such opportunities were rare.

She remained silent, but Yu Yuanshen understood everything, sighed low and said, "Then stay in the hospital, but after the concert, you must come back with me."

After a short pause, he added, "Weiwei told me everything, she’s very worried about you."

Thinking of Yu Wei, Gu Zixuan’s mind filled with forgotten matters from the past few days, a mix of emotions flowed through her, bringing both sadness and warmth.

She nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

The struggle finally ended.

Jiang Yuan and Qin Nuo gasped, having witnessed this strong invisible battle, more intense than corporate warfare.

So terrifying, is that how high-level negotiations were back then, every step a confrontation?

But for Feng Chengjin, he knew discussions reaching that extent certainly didn’t mean an end.

Thus his brow remained calm, waiting lazily.

Sure enough, after comforting Gu Zixuan, Yu Yuanshen’s gaze turned to him.

With a gentle smile, Yu Yuanshen always exuded elegance but carried the sharpness to touch hearts like a businessman.

"So, Mr. Feng, would you happen to have any spare tickets, and could you give me the trouble of reserving one?"

Feng Chengjin chuckled, "Mr. Yu runs such a large venture capital firm, helping many companies go public, does he still need me for just one ticket?"

"Each trade has its specialty; I often neglect life’s trivial matters, but Mr. Feng’s ’vast abilities’ seem worth seeing. What, is one ticket difficult?"

The emphasis on ’vast abilities’ carried deeper meaning.

Feng Chengjin chuckled softly, understanding the situation, and remained silent, only pausing briefly before raising a finger towards Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo snapped out of it, realizing what was happening. He immediately mentioned that previously he said he was going to borrow a kettle to boil water, but the president sent him a message to go to Mr. Stephen to get the tickets, and then he took out the envelope he had just retrieved.

Upon opening it, there were actually five tickets!

Everyone present, except Feng Chengjin, was slightly surprised.

Gu Zixuan looked at the people in the room, feeling even more eerily astonished.

Was Feng Chengjin a ghost?

Feng Chengjin did not respond, only looked at Yu Yuanshen, raised his chin, "President Yu, pick one."

Yu Yuanshen withdrew his slightly dazed gaze, took a long time, squinted, said nothing, looked down at the five tickets connected together, a cold smile on the corner of his lips, and could only take the one in the middle.

Seeing it perfectly matched expectations, Feng Chengjin chuckled, turned his face, and said no more.

...

When Yu Yuanshen left, it was Feng Chengjin and Qin Nuo who went down together to see him off.

It was called seeing off, but in fact, it was also a disguised escort to leave the hospital.

Feng Chengjin had no objections; once he left, Gu Zixuan could probably get some proper rest.

The three men went downstairs together and walked out of the inpatient department.

Walking on the night-time asphalt road, the French night was dense, tall sycamores paired with tulips in the flower beds, making this southern coastal town seem even more romantic and poetic.

Yu Yuanshen played with the ticket card, walking along, saying, "President Feng is indeed young and able to climb to the ranks of China’s top 100 companies. Even in the internet industry, he can rank among the top five domestically, relying not on luck."

tickets...

Whether it’s 3 tickets or 4 tickets, he could find ways to separate Gu Zixuan and Feng Chengjin, but with 5 tickets... no way it would work.

Feng Chengjin laughed lightly upon hearing, "President Yu praises me too much, but President Yu avoids the GPS positioning system and can precisely find a location within such a large map of the world. Such insight and tracking ability really earns my admiration."

Yu Yuanshen chuckled lowly, before getting into the car, he glanced at the parking spot and then at the brightly lit ward up above.

He pointed at the French license plate, then pointed upwards, "But after all, Mr. Feng is one move ahead, I am no match."

The exchange of words between the two left Qin Nuo listening, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Previously, every time he followed President Feng for business negotiations, it was basically a sweep, but today was really...

His heartbeat was pounding.

Yet when Yu Yuanshen was leaving, President Feng knocked on the car window and very politely greeted him, "It’s dark, President Yu, drive slowly on the way."

Yu Yuanshen was more courteous, taking out three gift boxes prepared at some unknown time, handing them over with an elegant smile, "It’s our first meeting, didn’t buy anything suitable, please accept it."

Feng Chengjin glanced but didn’t move.

Qin Nuo quickly took them upon seeing the situation.

Yu Yuanshen chuckled, drove away.

As the exhaust pipe disappeared at the bend of the hospital, Qin Nuo looked at the number three, really at a loss for words, "President Feng..."

Feng Chengjin opened a box, looked inside, raised an eyebrow, "La/Maison/du chocolate?"

Qin Nuo felt even more heart attack from hearing that.

Yet Feng Chengjin didn’t react much, took one and tried it, and nodded very approvingly, "Not bad, try it."

Qin Nuo: "..."

...

In the ward, Jiang Yuan was also intimidated by the aura of the two men earlier.

Standing by the window, only until seeing the two cars go far did Jiang Yuan feel the oppressive pressure disappear.

Too terrifying, thinking that if President Feng really wants to take this step, there will be such a competitor in the future.

Jiang Yuan really felt...

Turning back, she gazed at the gentle and quiet figure under the lamp.

Jiang Yuan was somewhat at a loss, wondering what they all liked about her?

Seemingly sensing Jiang Yuan’s gaze, Gu Zixuan glanced over.

Jiang Yuan was startled for a moment, quickly turned away, and began to prepare to unfold and lay out a folding bed.

But before she could, Gu Zixuan, who was sitting on the bed adjusting the pillow, chuckled softly and spoke, her voice gentle, "Miss Jiang, come sleep on the bed."

Jiang Yuan was slightly stunned, shook her head, "No need, it’s the same to lay out a folding bed."

Whenever on business trips, never saw Qin Nuo squeeze on a bed with Feng Chengjin, some identity recognition, Jiang Yuan understood.

But Gu Zixuan in a speechless chuckle said, "That can’t be the same, the folding bed is hard and narrow, the hospital bed is very big. Besides, tonight you are accompanying me, I have no friends, to come out with you for a trip, is to be friends, come sleep on the bed, we can just be girlfriends and chat."

Gu Zixuan spoke sincerely and gently, and after saying that, she beckoned to her.

Jiang Yuan’s gaze trembled, thinking about that from childhood to adulthood, being taught not to provoke officials’ kids, after work, also avoiding the rich and noble ladies, her heart slightly rippled...
