The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 462 - 462 447 The Only One in Life

462: Chapter 447: The Only One in Life 462: Chapter 447: The Only One in Life Applause thundered through the room.

Li Ruo threw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, her tears falling as she cried, “Ye Chen, thank you.”

“Silly girl, what are you thanking me for!” Ye Chen grinned, extinguishing his cigar and placing it in the ashtray, then wrapping his arms around the beauty.

Their gazes locked deeply.

Inside the conference room, everyone chanted in unison, “Kiss, kiss, kiss!”

Li Ruo’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and as she watched the teasing shareholders and Tianya Group’s employees, she quickly buried her head into Ye Chen’s chest.

Ye Chen cradled Li Ruo’s cheeks with his hands, then kissed her, eliciting another round of thunderous applause.

“Alright, that’s enough, no more heckling!” Lin Ziwen hurriedly ushered everyone out, saying, “This is Mr.

Li and Vice President Ye’s private space!”

Soon, the crowd dispersed, each person looking back reluctantly as though they wanted to continue watching.

The chubby shareholders had long had their hearts set on Li Ruo, and now seeing Ye Chen’s domineering kiss, each one wished they were the hero of the story.

But losers will always be losers, while the rich and handsome types are indeed rare.

In the grand conference room, only Ye Chen and Li Ruo were left, deeply kissing, tasting the pangs of longing that had built over the month they’d been apart.

Their tongues intertwined, trying through this connection to convey their yearnings.

“Xiao Ruo…” Ye Chen broke from the long kiss, gazing deeply at Li Ruo.

She had become thinner over the past month, yet she still looked stunning.

She had slimmed where she should have, yet the bust remained just as impressively firm.

“Mhm!” Li Ruo replied, blushing slightly.

“Let’s get married!” Ye Chen suddenly suggested.

“No!” Li Ruo quickly rejected, just as swiftly as she had rejected Kong Haoran before.

Ye Chen, taken aback, curiously asked, “Why?”

“Have you forgotten what you promised me?” Li Ruo said with a smile, “You promised we’d think about marriage after the Northern City District project was completed.

It’s only halfway done now, so we can’t get married yet!”

“That…” Ye Chen paused, then laughed, “That’s fine, you’re already my woman now.

No one can take you away!”

“Mhm!” Li Ruo nodded, saying, “There won’t be another Kong Haoran!”

“Heh, if there’s another one, I wouldn’t come back!” Ye Chen playfully pinched Li Ruo’s nose.

She was allowed to waver emotionally just once, because after that, she would realize who was most important to her and understand who had given her more in love.

Only after experiencing that emotional wavering could Li Ruo’s feelings truly mature.

“I know!” Li Ruo nodded, snuggling into Ye Chen’s arms, saying, “You are also the only one in my life.”

Ye Chen revealed a content smile; the crisis at Tianya Group was once again easily resolved by Ye Chen.

With a swift move of swallowing without chewing, Ye Chen had rendered Kong Haoran powerless, and his tactics spread across Tianya Group, stirring up a storm of gossip.

Later, those who weren’t there concocted tales that on that day, Ye Chen had arrived on the Wind and Fire Wheel, wielding the Qiankun Ring, and then he threw the ring directly at Kong Haoran, capturing the man.

In essence, Ye Chen had become a sensation within Tianya Group once more.

He was Tianya’s savior, a lucky star in the eyes of the employees.

The Northern City District project continued to forge ahead.

After dealing with Tianya’s matters, Ye Chen once again sent Feng Zhixiao and others back to Leisure City, but this time, Da Xia and Haozi didn’t go.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but because Jianghuai City needed people to coordinate with the Hong Kong branch for the setup.

“Zhi Xiao, I’m giving you three time to advance to the second level.

Whoever doesn’t complete the task can bring me their head!” Ye Chen was being tough.

“Brother Chen, don’t worry!” Feng Zhixiao and the others were boiling with enthusiasm.

Just thinking of entering the Ancient Lava Cave for training set their blood on fire.

Saluting Ye Chen, they understood the special meaning behind this salute from the Black Water Security Company.

After wave of people left, Ye Chen returned to the Black Water Security Company.

With urgent business expansion, over two hundred people were sent to Hong Kong, leaving a shortage both in Jianghuai City and the provincial capital.

Recruiting was always a hassle, and even more so, training.

Li Tieniu and Liu the Tyrant had gone to Leisure City.

Leaving just himself, Da Xia, and Haozi, he couldn’t very well train the new recruits himself, could he?

“Big brother, should we recruit some little brothers now?” Da Xia eagerly asked.

“Don’t worry, the brothers of the Heavenly Reversal Gang would rather have a few than be inundated with mediocrity—we absolutely can’t just recruit anyone like the other gang do!” Ye Chen said frowning, “We need to come up with some methods and then weed out those who just want to muddle along without actually contributing.”

“I have an idea!” Haozi immediately said with a laugh.

“Let’s hear it!” Ye Chen said to him right away.

“Hehe, we can set up a selection system!” Haozi said with a grin, “Just like separating millet, we use a sieve, and the millet and sand will naturally part ways.

In the same way, we can create a process like this to screen and find the qualified people, right!”

“Exactly!” Ye Chen nodded right away and then patted Haozi’s shoulder, saying, “Haozi, I’ll leave this task to you!”

“Don’t worry, Brother!” Haozi nodded immediately.

Ye Chen then turned to Da Xia and said, “Xiazi, you’ll be in charge of the training and also keep an eye on the grounds over in the provincial city.

The pressure is a bit more, but this is my expectation of you!”

“Rest assured, Brother!” Da Xia and Haozi were absolutely trustworthy; the two had followed him out from Leisure City.

Originally, to protect themselves, they fought desperately alongside Ye Chen in the Golden Triangle.

Subsequently, the three divided up the work.

Ye Chen then went to the prison, hoping to get some people out through Dian Ling.

The people in the prison were naturally some ‘experts’ among the common folk.

If he could get a group out from there, it would indeed be excellent, as the rate of release from inside simply couldn’t keep up with his needs.

However, the moment he thought of Little Ni Dian Ling’s various demands, Ye Chen immediately felt a pang in the groin.

As soon as he got to the prison gate, the guard decisively opened the door for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was already a regular at the prison; Dian Ling had given instructions to the guards—Ye Chen’s face was the pass.

Guards also relied on Dian Ling for their livelihoods, so could they not listen?

Entering the prison, Ye Chen went straight into Dian Ling’s office.

At the door of the office, Ye Chen heard another man’s voice inside.

The voice was somewhat aged and seemed familiar.

Once the guard went to convey the message, Dian Ling pulled open the door, her eyes brightened at the sight of Ye Chen at the entrance, but her expression remained calm as she looked at Ye Chen and said, “You’re here?”

“What, not welcome?” Ye Chen grinned and moved forward as if to hug Dian Ling.

Dian Ling quickly dodged, avoiding Ye Chen’s hug, and scolded him playfully, “You scoundrel, my grandfather is inside, how can you behave so recklessly?”

“Ah?

Mr.

Dian is here?” Ye Chen was startled.

At that moment, a computer peeked out from inside with a mischievous smile, “Young man, what’s up?

Have you been bullying my granddaughter when I’m not around?”

“Ah?!” Ye Chen was suddenly stunned.

Damn, this grandfather and granddaughter pair were really too mischievous.

He had just arrived, and they had already put on this act for him.

Ye Chen awkwardly laughed and said, “Elder Dian, I was just joking with Lingling, please don’t take it seriously!”

“Hehe, no jokes, young man, we’ve all been young once!” Elder Dian said with a chuckling smile, “My granddaughter, well, she’s at the age to talk about marriage, so don’t hold back, really go for it!”

Pfft…

Ye Chen almost choked on his own blood.

Damn, this old man—was it right to sell out his own granddaughter like this?

Ye Chen was really having a hard time dealing with this old man; he wasn’t this impressive the last time they met.

In the blink of an eye, the old man has become so frivolous, Ye Chen awkwardly responded, “I’ll think it over, think it over!”

“Grandfather, what nonsense are you spouting?” Dian Ling immediately got angry, not expecting her own grandfather to not only not help her, but to actually sell her out.

It was really maddening.

Too maddening.

With that thought, Dian Ling gritted her teeth and pounced on Elder Dian.

Elder Dian burst into a hearty laugh.

Watching the grandfather and granddaughter playfully bickering in the office, Ye Chen stood at the door unsure whether to go in or not.

If he went in, it seemed as if he would be intruding; if he didn’t, wouldn’t the trip have been in vain?

“Hey, you doofus, what are you doing standing at the door, come on in!” Dian Ling turned around, noticed Ye Chen still dumbly standing at the entrance, and immediately got annoyed.

Ye Chen quickly scooted in.

Elder Dian sat on the sofa, leisurely preparing tea, while Dian Ling sat beside him, attentively watching Elder Dian’s tea-brewing process.

Ye Chen sat down opposite them.

Elder Dian explained important techniques and points to be careful about, such as not to let the tea water boil for too long, the first steep shouldn’t be drunk…

and so on.

After Elder Dian had brewed a pot of tea, which took about a quarter of an hour, Ye Chen was also listening intently.

“Xiao Ye, come, try my handiwork!” Elder Dian said with a mild smile, and then lifted the teapot to fill all the tea cups.

Dian Ling was the first to grab a cup, grinning and saying, “I have to taste Grandpa’s tea first.”
