Chapter 202 Becoming a "Star"

"Good morning, Director Yu!"

"Good morning, Madam!"

"Good morning, Madam Chairman!"

On the 17th floor of Genesis Building, at Starlight Technology, Yu Ling stepped out of the elevator and was inundated with greetings, the volume rising eight octaves. Every employee stood at attention, their smiles blindingly bright, their eyes gleaming with the excitement of, "I've met the wife of a billionaire living in the billions!"

Yu Ling paused, took a deep breath, and forced a decent smile on her face: "Good morning, everyone." She tried hard to ignore the cameras of the mobile phones that were secretly raised, and walked quickly towards her office, feeling that her back was about to be stared into a hole.

"Bang." The office door closed, blocking out the scorching heat from outside. Yu Ling leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

"How's it going? 'Niu Hulu Yu Ling's' daily life?" Su Xiao's video window popped up immediately, a look of gloating written all over his face.

"Have you seen the trending search? The one where you were photographed getting out of the car this morning! 'The richest man's wife went to work without makeup, her aura is on full display!' The comments below were all 'Sister, share me!' 'With this look, you should debut!'"

Yu Ling threw the pillow with the angry Shiba Inu printed on it at the tablet: "Shut up! I just want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into!"

She recalled leaving home that morning, just as she stepped off her "Guild Chariot" (matte black, with aggressive lines and a blinding Shiba Inu logo on the front), she was photographed face-first by a telephoto lens lurking in the green belt! The flash was so bright it nearly made her ecstasy!

"What are you trying to do?" Su Xiao rolled his eyes. "Your president Zhao wants the whole world to look at you! Do you know what he did?"

Yu Ling's eyelids jumped: "...What did he do again?"

"He! Started! A! Blog!" Su Xiao said excitedly, each word clearly. "Verified account! 'Zhao Chen of Chenxing Group'! Gold V! His follower count skyrocketed! And guess what his first post was?"

Yu Ling had a bad feeling.

Lidya Su directly threw a screenshot over.

Zhao Chen’s Weibo homepage has a blank profile and 0 followers (it was later discovered that he only followed Yu Ling’s secondary account), and the number of fans shows: 9.99 million+ (and it is jumping like crazy every second).

The first Weibo post was published at 3:07 am and contained no text.

There is only one photo.

The photo was clearly taken from a candid angle: Under warm yellow light, Yu Ling, wearing pajamas printed with dozing Shiba Inus, curled up on a sofa, holding Wangcai, who was also sprawled out in her arms. Their heads were pressed together, and there was a suspicious glistening glint at the corner of their mouths (probably saliva). Her cheeks were flushed from sleep, her hair was a mess, and she looked completely unpresentable.

The composition of the photo is casual and even a little blurry, but the warm home feeling almost overflows the screen.

The caption only contained a Shiba Inu paw print.

Comments:

"?????? The richest man's first Weibo post???"

"Ahhh! It's Madam and Wangcai! So cute! What a wonderful life!"

"This angle...was it secretly filmed by Mr. Zhao? Right, right?!"

"A billionaire stayed up late at night to secretly film his wife, kids (and dog) sleeping! I'm so pissed!"

"#The richest couple's daily sweetness# Come quickly! New candy is enough!"

"Am I the only one curious about how many Shiba Inus are printed on your pajamas?"

"Upstairs, I counted at least 23 and a half..."

This Weibo post shot to the top of the trending searches at the speed of a train piercing through the center of the earth: #赵辰第一微博偷拍妻睡的# followed by a deep red “爆” (explosion)!

Yu Ling looked at her defenseless and foolish self in the photo, then at the Shiba Inu paw prints. She was so angry that she grabbed her tablet and said, "Zhao! Chen! I'm going to kill you!!!"

At lunch time, Yu Ling wanted to be alone, so she didn't go to the company cafeteria. Instead, she took Lin Wei to a small noodle restaurant two blocks away that they used to go to.

"Boss, two bowls of beef noodles, one without cilantro." Yu Ling was familiar with the place.

"Okay! Little..." The boss looked up and saw Yu Ling's face. The second half of the words got stuck in his throat, and his eyes were as big as copper bells. "Yu... Mr. Yu?! No no no... Madam Zhao?!"

The diners at several tables in the noodle shop turned their heads in unison, their eyes burning with anger!

"She's really the richest woman's wife!"

“The real person is more beautiful than the photo!”

"She actually eats at a roadside noodle shop?!"

The phone camera instantly focused! Yu Ling's scalp tingled.

The boss's hands were shaking with excitement, and he spilled half of the noodle soup he brought. "Mrs. Zhao...Mrs. Zhao! It's such a blessing to have you come to our humble shop...! This meal is on me! I'll treat you!"

Yu Ling tried to keep smiling: "No, no, just pay as much as you should..."

Before he finished speaking, a deep, arrogant roar of an engine could be heard from the street outside! An armored SUV, all black, with cold, hard lines and a giant, bared-toothed Shiba Inu logo printed on the front, did a ferocious tailspin and stopped sideways in front of the narrow entrance of the noodle shop!

The car door opened with a "whoosh"!

Three muscular men in black combat uniforms and sunglasses jumped out of the car! Each wore a shining Shiba Inu badge on his chest, and their eyes, sharp as eagles, scanned the entire place. The overwhelming pressure instantly silenced the noodle shop!

The leading man strode in, ignoring all cameras, and walked straight to Yu Ling's table. He bowed slightly and said in a loud voice, "Madam! President Chen is concerned about the safety of the food in the restaurant, so he specially sent 'Wangwang Fresh Food' to deliver lunch! Please eat in the car!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a giant insulated food container from behind his back, seemingly a magic trick... one with a silly Shiba Inu printed on it! As soon as he flipped the lid open, the aroma of premium Wagyu beef mixed with the overbearing scent of black truffles instantly filled the small noodle shop! The bowl of beef noodles next to it immediately paled in comparison!

Yu Ling: "..." She wanted to disappear right there.

Lin Wei's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back her laughter.

The noodle shop owner and diners stared in amazement at the box of lunch that exuded the fragrance of money, and then looked at the armored monster at the door.

"I... I just want to eat a bowl of noodles..." Yu Ling struggled weakly.

"Boss Chen ordered," the muscular man said expressionlessly but in a firm tone, "There are risks in running a roadside stall. Madam, you have a strong body, so you must be careful." He gave a look, and the two muscular men behind him took a step forward, as if if Yu Ling didn't move, they would carry her and the chair away!

Yu Ling held her forehead with her hands. Amidst countless mobile phone cameras and her boss's shouts of "Farewell, Mrs. Zhao!", she was "escorted" onto the Shiba Inu armored vehicle with a hopeless look on her face.

The car door closed, shutting out the outside world. Yu Ling looked at the exquisitely presented Michelin-quality lunch in the food box, and felt like crying, but she couldn't.

My phone vibrated. A message from Zhao Chen: "Jianbing Man": "The noodle shop owner has received an offer from Wangwang Group as a food safety consultant, along with funds for shop upgrades. Next time you want to eat, have them deliver to your door."

Yu Ling replied with gritted teeth, "Zhao Chen! If you send anyone to follow me again, you and Wangcai will sleep in the doghouse tonight!"
