Chapter 8 Quit Dreaming

• Do what?
• Cheng Yuan was still stumped, as if he was lost in the middle of a thick haze. He took a deep breath and jumped out from his chair, “Let’s bring me around.”
• Before Wang Zi Yan had the time to react, Cheng Yuan had already stormed out of the office.
• Wang Zi Yan frowned and sighed.
• It seemed like the Jun Feng Group of Companies was destined to fail in the hands of this prodigal son.
• What can she say? He was the successor of the company.
• After Cheng Yuan left the office, he wandered around the building, like a curious little kid who visited the zoo for the first time.
• When he ran into a member of the board of directors, they would greet him respectfully.
• Speaking of which, these were the upper class people who never bat an eye on him previously. Cheng Yuan would be flattered and did not know how to react initially, but he would relax at the thought that he was now the chairman of the organisation.
• When he walked pass the procurement department, he heard a familiar voice from the manager’s office.
• “Mr. Xu, we really give our best to our services.”
• “Sigh, Miss Mu, look at the number of name cards on my desk. Truth to be told, I can find dozens of people who try harder than you.”
• “But…”
• “No buts, there is nothing more to say, if you really want to work with Jun Feng, you need to show some sincerity.”
• Mu Ru Zhen was wearing a pair of beige miniskirt, while Mr. Xu was checking out Mu Ru Zhen’s body before fixing his perverted eyes on her pair of fair, long thighs.
• She started to feel uncomfortable with Mr. Xu’s facial expression and understood what he was implying, Mu Ru Zhen lost her enthusiasm.
• “Sorry Mr. Xu, I… I have other things to attend to, I’ll pay you a visit next time.”
• Mu Ru Zhen got up and started making her way to the exit as if she was trying to escape. Little did she know, Mr. Xu saw this coming and quickly blocked the door.
• “Hoho, Miss Mu, why don’t you stay for a little longer?” Mr. Xu said with an evil grin, “Here’s a proposal, stay with me for a day, although the deal doesn’t fall through today, I may change my mind the next time.”
• As Mu Ru Zhen video calls Bai An Xiang every single night, Cheng Yuan instantly recognized her voice, it could not have been wrong.
• After hearing the exchange, Cheng Yuan’s face turned gloomy.
• Regardless of who victim the was, Cheng Yuan would never be a bystander in the situation, especially when it happened in his company. Besides, the victim was Mu Ru Zhen, the closest friend to Bai An Xiang.
• Cheng Yuan never imagined he would witness something like this on his first day of work!
• “Wang Zi Yan!” Cheng Yuan shouted.
• Almost everybody on the same floor could hear his voice.
• Wang Zi Yan swiftly paced toward him, while the clinks of her heels echoed through the building.
• “Yes chairman, what can I do for you?” Despite perceiving Cheng Yuan as a prodigal son who did not know what he was doing, Wang Zi Yan asked in a courteous tone.
• After all, Cheng Yuan was her employer.
• “Please deal with what’s happening in there.” Cheng Yuan pointed toward the office of the procurement manager.
• At this point, Mr. Xu was enfeebled by Cheng Yuan’s voice, he did not even dare to make a sound.
• Upon knowing that she was finally able to escape the situation, Mu Ru Zhen sighed in relief.
• She knew that the man outside the room saved her and was thankful for it. Just as Mr. Xu was at a loss, Mu Ru Zhen took the opportunity to open the door and escape from the room.
• However, as she left the the room, she ran straight into the personal assistant Wang Zi Yan and only managed to catch the back view of a man walking away at a far corner.
• There was a brief moment, when the view of the man’s back… Made her blush.
• But why did his voice sound so familiar?
• …
• In the chairman’s office.
• After Wang Zi Yan dealt with the situation, she reported the incident to Cheng Yuan. He nodded, “What was the lady trying to sale to the procurement department?”
• “Building materials,” Wang Zi Yang said and handed him a copy of the proposal.
• As Cheng Yuan casually opened the file, he realized Wang Zi Yan looked a little hesitant, as if she had something to say.
• “Anything?” He asked.
• Wang Zi Yan answered, “Mr. Xu is an experienced employee at the company, he is capable and is said to have strong ties with a leader of Xin Yang City…”
• “So you think I shouldn’t fire him?” Cheng Yuan interrupted.
• “It’d be a rash decision,” Wang Zi Yan said.
• With an adamant expression, Cheng Yuan said, “My decision is final.”
• He carried on to skimmed through the proposal and realized the quotation was within reason, so he did not think twice before signing the proposal.
• “Let’s use their materials.” Cheng Yuan returned to file to Wang Zi Yan.
• Once again, Wang Zi Yan frowned and thought to herself, sigh, he is still too young after all.
• She felt like Cheng Yuan was too subjective, this was the most unwanted trait a leader can have.
• However, Cheng Yuan had a different approach.
• As the saying goes, a chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
• “Oh yes, please inform the board members from the meeting today to not reveal my identity to the company yet.” Cheng Yuan ordered.
• He would like to stay low-profile for the moment and did not want to be boastful. Besides, it was more convenient to carry out some tasks before his identify was revealed.
• Wang Zi Yan startled a little before nodded in response.
• Before leaving the company, Cheng Yuan gave Wang Zi Yan full authority to handle his tasks on his behalf. After which, he left for the hospital to keep his mother accompanied.
• During night time, he hired a carer as always and went home to the simple and shabby place Bai An Xiang rented.
• Bai An Xiang had already reached home earlier.
• He shook his head briefly as he saw her door tightly shut before entering his room. He took off his bespoke suit, folded it meticulously and placed it into his cupboard.
• “Dear, what took you so long to answer my call?” Bai An Xiang and Mu Ru Zhen’s voices came from the next room.
• Mu Ru Zhen said, “Sigh, don’t even bring it up, it was such a bad day.”
• “What happened?” Bai An Xiang asked.
• “I went to Jung Feng’s office today to pitch a proposal and met a perverted old man.”
• “Huh? Are you alright?”
• “Yes I am, oh right, An Xiang, let me tell you a secret.”
• “What is it?”
• “I… I think I have fallen in love.”
• “What? You fell for the perverted man?”
• “Hell no, the perverted old man was sacked by the chairman of Jun Feng.”
• Mu Ru Zhen proceeded to describe what she experienced during the day to Bai An Xiang from the beginning till the end. The story was tweaked a little, however, it included a scene where the chairman of Jun Feng fought the demon-possessed Mr. Xu for three hundred rounds in order to save her, and was heavily wounded in the end.
• As the matter of fact, she did not even catch Cheng Yuan’s face at the time. Even Mr. Xu was taken care of by the apathetic personal assistant.
• “Are you saying you’ve fallen in love for the new chairman of Jun Feng?”
• “Yeah,” Mu Ru Zhen sighed heavily, “unfortunately, I didn’t get to see how he look like.”
• “Oh dear, you should quit dreaming.” Bai An Xiang teased her.
• Mu Ru Zhen retaliated, “Everyone should be ambitious to some extent or you’ll stay stagnant forever, right? I don’t care, I love the chairman of Jun Feng and I swear, if he is single, I will marry him.”
• Bai An Xiang was speechless.
• “You know, every girl should dream of being pampered by their prince. I feel like love is in the air, my dear, who knows my prince is Jun Feng’s chairman?”
• Upon hearing this, Bai An Xiang sighed heavily, “Ru Zhen, you are being overly obsessive, you haven’t even seen him and you’ve dreamt of all sorts of things. He is the chairman of Jun Feng, alright? Someone far out of our reach!”
• “Humph, I don’t care, he saved my life earlier today. If this happened during in the old times, I could have devoted my life to him.”
• Bai An Xiang continued to poke at her, “What if he was ugly, will you marry him?”
• Mu Ru Zhen didn’t mutter a word for a few seconds before breaking the silence, “That’s not possible, he looked so good from the back, how could he be ugly?”
• “Oh ya, I found his voice strangely familiar, he sounded a little like Cheng Yuan. Perhaps your man is the chairman of Jun Feng, hehe…”
• Bai An Xiang answered with cold sweat, “Stop teasing me girl, that’s impossible.”
• Cheng Yuan overheard the whole conversation, he could not help but smiling at himself ironically. If Mu Ru Zhen had found out that he was the chairman of Jun Feng, she could have gone utterly mad.
• As for Bai An Xiang, guess she could not accept the truth, right?
