The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 165 - 165 159 156 Yao Yue

165: Chapter 159: Chapter 156: Yao Yue 165: Chapter 159: Chapter 156: Yao Yue “Uh…” Ye Chen was taken aback, looking at the charming and seductive Yao Yue, he no longer had the mood to scold her.

Ye Chen could only helplessly say, “It’s just because of your exceptional skills, popping in and out like a ghost.

Yao Yue, congratulations, your strength has improved again!”

“Hehe…” Yao Yue giggled, clad in a black leather jacket that accentuated her proud chest enticingly, her already long and slender legs wrapped in form-fitting leather pants, appeared even more bewitching and tempting.

Yao Yue walked step by step towards Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, if I’m not mistaken, you must have recovered some of your memory, right?”

“Yep!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “The flood this time did indeed help me recover a bit of my memory, but the main part is still a bit fuzzy.

I only know that a man named Li Jie and a woman named Yun Qi have had a significant impact on my life!”

“Hm?” Yao Yue was startled, then smiled faintly and said, “It seems your subconscious protection is still very strong.

You were hit so hard by the falling tree, and you still haven’t completely recovered your memory.

However, it doesn’t matter.

This time, I’m here to tell you that Li Jie is the person behind the Great General—you need to be careful!”

“Li Jie?

Why him, and why is he targeting me?” Ye Chen asked anxiously.

“That you’ll have to find out for yourself!” Yao Yue shrugged and said, “How would I know that?

Being able to gather so much information for you is already quite rare for me!”

Ye Chen was taken aback, then he quickly realized that was indeed the case.

Yao Yue had done so much for him earnestly; it was already quite precious.

Ye Chen smiled faintly and seriously looked at Yao Yue, saying, “Yao Yue, thank you!”

“Pfft…”

Yao Yue laughed again, looking at Ye Chen and said, “Strange, when did you also learn to say thanks?

That’s really rare!”

“By the way, what brings you to Jianghuai City this time?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

Yao Yue smiled and said, “This time, I’m investigating a matter.”

“What kind of matter would necessitate the personal involvement of Yao Yue?” Ye Chen asked with curiosity.

“Maybe you’ll know later!” Yao Yue giggled and then quickly left Xin Hai District.

Before leaving, Yao Yue said to Ye Chen, “Be careful of everyone around you.

Don’t trust others too easily!”

Ye Chen watched Yao Yue’s departing figure, touched his head, and then turned to go upstairs.

…

Ye Chen’s body had returned to normal.

After a night’s rest, his bodily functions were almost entirely unproblematic.

Ye Chen himself was a very robust man, with strong resistance to minor ailments.

Therefore, there were no issues for Ye Chen this time.

Back at Tianya Group, on behalf of the board of directors, Li Ruo conveyed her condolences to Ye Chen and personally handed over a consolation sum of five thousand yuan.

This made many people at Tianya Group quite envious, not so much of the five thousand yuan, but of the attention from Mr.

Li.

It was something many men dreamed of.

“Ye Chen, thank you for saving me!” Li Ruo gratefully looked at Ye Chen.

“Mr.

Li, please don’t say that!” Ye Chen quickly shook his head.

In public, Ye Chen naturally knew how to behave—privately, he would call Li Ruo by her informal name, Xiao Ruo.

But in public, it was still proper to address her as Mr.

Li.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “I believe that anyone in the same situation would have acted righteously!”

“In that case, you will still be in charge of the Northern City District project!” Li Ruo said to Ye Chen with a light tone.

“Okay!” Ye Chen nodded.

Consistency was crucial, and the Northern City District project, having been delayed for so many days, needed to continue.

In Li Ruo’s office, Ye Chen sat on the sofa, enjoying the coffee personally brewed by Li Ruo.

Li Ruo sat opposite Ye Chen, smiling at him, and then said, “Ye Chen, actually, you can let go of the Northern City District project.”

“Why?” Ye Chen was taken aback and asked, “Am I not doing well with it?

Why should I let it go?”

“Don’t get me wrong!” Li Ruo quickly shook her head and said, “It’s not that you’re doing poorly, but because I’m worried it’s too much for you to handle.

After all, the Northern City District project is so large; it’s too troublesome for one person, and with the injury on your head, I’m afraid…”

“No need to worry!” Ye Chen shook his head and said, “It’s all right!”

“Alright, since you say it’s nothing, then it must be nothing!” Li Ruo shook her head, curiously asking, “Ye Chen, why haven’t you moved into the Vice President’s office?

After all, your status is different now.

Why do you still stay in the business team’s office?”

“I came from there, so it’s normal for me to stay with the business team!” Ye Chen chuckled, then stood up and said, “Mr.

Li, I have other things to take care of, so I’ll be leaving now!”

“Alright then!” Li Ruo nodded.

Afterward, Ye Chen returned from the twentieth floor to the tenth floor.

The business team held a simple welcome-back ceremony for Ye Chen in the office to celebrate his recovery from a serious illness.

Fang Fei personally gave Ye Che a plush toy, which is a favorite among girls, but when it reached Ye Chen’s hands, it took on a different flavor.

“Ha-ha, thank you all, I’ll treat you to lunch at noon!” Ye Chen grinned.

“Really?” Chen Qiong blinked, curiously asking, “Then…

Mr.

Vice President, are you going to treat us to a meal at a fancy restaurant?”

“Ha-ha…” Ye Chen laughed heartily, “Wrong, to promote communication among employees, everyone is going to the company cafeteria for lunch!”

“Ah?!” The crowd let out a collective sigh.

However, no one really minded.

Having the chance to dine with Ye Chen in the company cafeteria was a special treat in itself, much better than the communal meals they normally had.

Before long, it was noon, and everyone headed towards the dining hall on the eighth floor.

The entire floor was dedicated to the cafeteria, which could accommodate a thousand people eating simultaneously.

The company’s chefs were specially hired, a far cry from the outsourced cafeterias elsewhere.

To be honest, in his several months at the company, this was only the second time Ye Chen had come to the cafeteria for a meal.

Coming out of the elevator, he was immediately greeted by the aromatic smell of the food.

In the corner of the floor was the kitchen, a restricted area.

Next to the kitchen were rows of service windows where food was served.

Many people were lined up in front of the windows, chattering about the day’s work.

“The atmosphere’s not bad!” Ye Chen said with a grin.

“Mr.

Vice President, you shouldn’t compete with these employees for the line!” Fang Fei pouted and said, “As the Vice President, you have leadership privileges.

You can ask the chef for stir-fry dishes and also dine in a private room!”

“Really?” Ye Chen was surprised.

“Of course!” Fang Fei immediately nodded.

“Alright then, let’s get stir-fries and head to the private room!” Ye Chen smiled.

A group of several people headed toward the private room.

Along the way, when staff members saw the group, they mistook them for company leaders and hurriedly made way, some even bowing their heads, avoiding looking at them directly.

Fang Fei strutted like a proud peacock, soaking in everyone’s attention.

She couldn’t have felt more smug.

Today, she was basking in reflected glory.

Once inside the private room, they were greeted by a dedicated server and presented with a menu to order from.

Ye Chen handed the menu to Fang Fei.

Instead of looking it over, he tilted his head to peer out at the cafeteria, experiencing an odd sensation.

For some reason, even though he was sitting in this private room, he felt uneasy, as if he were on pins and needles.

“I’m going to go for a walk!” Ye Chen immediately stood up and left, and Fang Fei and Chen Qiong, among others, didn’t seem to mind, simply telling him, “Come back soon!”

Ye Chen nodded without a word and walked towards the dining hall.

It wasn’t too crowded inside.

Watching the company staff discuss today’s meals, Ye Chen spotted Little Mei in the crowd, with Milking Girl Xingxing by her side.

He started heading towards them, but before he could get there, someone cut in front of him, bumping into Milking Girl’s chest and knocking her lunch tray to the ground.

“What…

what are you doing bumping into me!” Milking Girl exclaimed furiously.

“Oh, I’m walking here, why aren’t you watching where you’re going!” A thin man in a poorly fitted suit glanced at Milking Girl’s chest and said, “Hmph, just a regular employee and you dare to shout at me, believe it or not, I can get your manager to fire you!”

Milking Girl immediately fell silent because the moment she looked up, she saw the identification badge on the thin man’s chest.

Everyone at Tianya Group had a badge, and as per regulations, it had to be worn on the chest during work hours.

Except for the unconventional Ye Chen, almost everyone else chose to wear it on their chest.

“Wow, what a big tone!” Ye Chen crossed his arms and stepped forward.

Milking Girl saw Ye Chen coming over and immediately showed a relieved smile, while Little Mei looked at Ye Chen curiously.

The skinny man looked at Ye Chen and said, “Who are you?

Why aren’t you following the rules by wearing your badge?”

“Oh, I’m a new janitor from the maintenance department.” Ye Chen revealed a smile.

“Damn, a mere janitor dares to talk back to me?!” the man got angry, pointing at Ye Chen and saying, “You don’t need to sweep floors anymore; you’ve already been fired for not following the regulations on badges.”

“Tsk tsk, such a big tone indeed!” Ye Chen clicked his tongue and laughed, then looked at the man and said, “I never would have imagined that Director Liu was so impressive.

I always thought Vice Director Qian was as bad as they come, but it turns out her superior is even worse, huh?

Don’t you know the Tianya Group employee handbook?

Article thirty-seven states that every employee at Tianya Group is a precious asset to the company.

The dismissal of any Tianya employee must be approved by the highest-ranked CEO of Tianya Group.

Tell me, Director Liu, are you Mr.

Li?”
