The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 395 - 395 384 Marrying You Together

395: Chapter 384: Marrying You Together 395: Chapter 384: Marrying You Together He clocked in three minutes late, but for Ye Chen, punching the clock was just a formality.

The guy hadn’t clocked in for who knows how many days.

The Office of Business Group One was once again fully assembled.

Even Fang Fei had arrived at the office.

When everyone saw Ye Chen arrive, they stood up in unison.

“Vice President Ye, good morning!” They all greeted him.

“Haha, when did you all become so polite!” Ye Chen grinned and laughed.

Fang Fei, holding a fresh bouquet of roses, then gave them to Ye Chen, saying, “Ye Chen, thank you for standing up for me.”

“Haha, you’re too kind!” Ye Chen immediately waved his hand and said, “It’s all part of my job.

As your boss, how could I not stand up for you?

Actually, it wouldn’t matter if it were Fang Fei, Chen Qiong, or Little Ai, I would stand up for any of you!”

“Boss, why don’t we all marry you then!” Chen Qiong and the others displayed an excited look.

“How about I join in?” Liu Shang on the side grinned and laughed.

“You can get lost!” Ye Chen burst into laughter.

After fooling around for a bit, everyone returned to business.

Ye Chen had been away for some time, so everyone had organized all the materials related to the Northern City District project.

They had also listed all the issues.

Now that Ye Chen was back at work, it was natural for him to review those materials.

As soon as Ye Chen looked at the materials, which seemed as long as a roll of toilet paper, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

He scratched his head and said, “To go through all this, won’t it take days?”

“Vice President Ye, actually, there’s only one key issue!” Liu Shang sat on a chair with his legs crossed; the chair, on its casters, quickly slid over.

The members of Business Group One all huddled together to discuss the topic.

“What’s the issue?” Ye Chen looked at Liu Shang intently.

When at work, one should look the part; when playing around, one should let loose and not think about work.

Just as Mr.

Li Dazhao said: “Study seriously, play earnestly!”

“That would be the issue with the bank loans!” Liu Shang fiddled with a pen and said, “Currently, the biggest problem for Tianya Group is financing.

Once the funds are secured, the Northern City District project can immediately start.

It’s been a year since the project started, and a ton of money has been invested.

There’s no room for retreat now, so Tianya Group has to push forward.

The building is already half constructed, and the work has actually stopped.

Stopping for even one day consumes millions in funds.

If we continue like this, even a mountain of gold would be emptied!”

When Ye Chen heard about the financial issue, he didn’t think it was a big problem.

He smiled faintly and asked, “Are there any other problems?”

“Of course!” Liu Shang immediately nodded and said, “Besides the funding, it’s the government.

The bank won’t lend us money because the City Government isn’t approving it.

So, if we handle the government relations well, everything will be resolved!”

“Fang Fei, what’s the Public Relations department saying?” Ye Chen looked up at Fang Fei.

“The PR department doesn’t have any solutions.

Recently, the PR work directed at the government hasn’t had any effect, and they even haven’t clarified the most basic issues.

Therefore, Mr.

Li personally halted the government PR work!” Fang Fei shrugged.

This delicate woman had thrown herself back into work right after being discharged from the hospital, keeping many issues close to her heart.

“I’ll handle this issue!” Ye Chen pondered for a moment.

The key to creating that problem lay in the City Construction Bureau and the Supervision Bureau.

One troublemaker in either department could halt the project.

Liu Junyuan that bastard was sitting in the Supervision Bureau, surely it was that guy causing trouble.

And Jiang Zhonggen was no better.

Now that Liu Junyuan was dead, Ye Chen figured his involvement might just have some effect.

While Business Group One was having the meeting, Lin Ziwen hurriedly arrived.

“Assistant Lin, what’s the matter?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Oh, Vice President Ye, Mr.

Li is looking for you!” Lin Ziwen quickly replied, and after getting Ye Chen’s response, he hurriedly left the Business Group One office.

After the meeting, Ye Chen stood up and headed to the twentieth floor.

He had just gotten out of the elevator when he ran into Zhang Bufen, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time; this guy had been harassing Li Ruo almost every day while Ye Chen was in prison.

The fellow still didn’t know that Ye Chen was out, and today he was holding a big bouquet of roses, running all the way into Li Ruo’s office.

“Xiao Ruo, look how beautiful these roses are, just as beautiful as you are!” Zhang Bufen, this guy, despite graduating from abroad, couldn’t even come up with a decent compliment.

His words were like those cheesy lines from the ’90s used to sweet-talk little beauties.

“Then you can take the flowers back with you.

Since they’re as pretty as me, you won’t need to keep running over here!” Li Ruo replied without a hint of politeness.

Her words immediately made Zhang Bufen feel like he had swallowed a green-headed fly, utterly nauseating.

He took a deep breath and continued to smile, saying, “Xiao Ruo, I really think we are a good match, you know.

Why do you have to like that Ye Chen?

What’s so good about him?

He can’t support you at critical moments.

It would be different if you chose me!”

“Fine, bring me ninety million then!” Li Ruo scoffed while looking at Zhang Bufen.

“Uh…” Zhang Bufen was taken aback, his face breaking into a foolish grin.

Shit, ninety million, do you think I’m as rich as Tianya Group?

Although my company is also worth over a million, we’re clearly not in the same league as Tianya Group!

However, Zhang Bufen was not about to concede defeat easily.

He smiled and said, “Although I can’t fully support you financially, I believe I can be of great help to you regarding government relations.”

Zhang Bufen was very confident.

As the son of the Provincial Public Security Department minister, he should have a significant advantage in this regard.

“Ah, Zhang Bufen, how many times do I have to tell you?

When it comes to charming girls, you need to come up with something new.

Don’t keep using the same old lines.

It makes you seem shallow, you know?” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said, “How about this, let me show you how it’s done!”

With that, Ye Chen walked over to Li Ruo under Zhang Bufen’s astonished gaze.

Li Ruo instantly became nervous, unable to tell what Ye Chen was planning.

This jerk couldn’t possibly be about to do something reckless, could he?

While Li Ruo was lost in wild thoughts, Ye Chen suddenly cradled her delicate face with both hands and then kissed her deeply.

After the passionate kiss, Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo with deep affection and said, “Xiao Ruo, will you marry me?”

It had to be said, Ye Chen’s performance was worthy of an Oscar.

Even Li Ruo was moved by his tenderness, her mind going blank as she shyly nodded.

The scene not only gave Zhang Bufen a shock but Lin Ziwen behind him also found it unbelievable.

My God, had Ye Chen gone mad, and had Mr.

Li gone mad too?

“Ye Chen, you…

you bastard!” Zhang Bufen immediately cursed: “Fuck your ancestors!”

“Oh, you’ve finally learned some swear words, haven’t you?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Hmph, you think I’m a pushover?” Zhang Bufen snorted coldly, saying, “Let me tell you, Ye Chen, the person I am now is nothing like who I was before.”

“Really?” Ye Chen said with a grin: “Looking at you, with that bear-like face, you do seem different.

Your left cheek looks fatter than your right.”

Zhang Bufen paused, his hand reflexively touching his face before realizing he had fallen into Ye Chen’s trap.

He immediately glared at Ye Chen, frowning and said, “Damn it, Ye, I advise you to stay away from Xiao Ruo from now on.

There are things I can give her that you can’t!”

“Really?” Ye Chen said with a sly smile.

“Of course!” Zhang Bufen huffed: “My assets are over a million, and you?

Do you think you’re something special because you made a couple of shabby gambling dens?

Let me tell you, the little money you make from those isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between Tianya Group’s teeth.”

“Well, that’s true!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “I’m quite curious, too, about how much tax your company evades each year.

If they ever investigate it, I bet you’d be sitting in jail for ten or eight years, wouldn’t you?”

Zhang Bufen was startled; tax evasion was indeed something he often resorted to, with tens of millions in taxes a year.

If they were to investigate all these years, it would probably drain all his company’s liquid assets to pay back, wouldn’t it?

The only reason Zhang Bufen was so bold was because of his father being a minister.

Therefore, he didn’t have to worry at all.

Still, it wasn’t good for others to know about such things.

Zhang Bufen said coldly, “Ye Chen, you’d better have evidence for making such accusations, or I could sue you for defamation!”

“Do you really think I don’t have any?” Ye Chen replied with a cold laugh: “Not to mention old news, but just last month, the batch of luxury cars you smuggled in from the US, how much did you evade in taxes for that?

Do you think you covered your tracks perfectly?”

These pieces of information, of course, came from Haozi and Da Xia.

They had established an intelligence network throughout Tongzhou City.

Da Xia and Haozi, the elites from Leisure City who had spent a year in the Golden Triangle with Ye Chen, setting up a city’s intelligence system was a piece of cake for them.

Zhang Bufen’s complexion changed slightly, and he immediately turned and left Li Ruo’s office, hurrying back.

Zhang Bufen knew he was in trouble; such highly confidential information had been leaked.

Either someone was investigating him or there was a mole in his company.

Regardless of the reason, Zhang Bufen had to rush back to deal with it.
