Chapter 41

After Qin Su arrived, Ye Yan was no longer in a hurry to return to China, and his busy work schedule returned to normal.

They stayed abroad for another week before returning to Hongshi.

Ye Yan's employees jokingly whispered to Ding Bo, "Assistant Ding, could you apply to bring your wife with you on all your business trips from now on?"

Ding Bo's expression remained unchanged as he slapped the document into his hand: "What are you dreaming about all day long?"

However, he couldn't help but wonder to himself that President Ye hadn't been working as hard as before lately.

Ye Yan used to work so hard that he often felt ashamed of himself, thinking that he, as an assistant, had more free time than his boss and was simply unworthy of a high salary.

The entire floor was swirling with tension, originating from Ye Yan, making it a terrifying place. Anyone who slacked off for a moment had to reflect on whether they were wasting their life.

Now that Ye Yan has shifted his focus to his family, everyone's work pressure is not as great.

The employee had a good relationship with Ding Bo, and wasn't alarmed when Ding Bo hit him.

He chuckled and whispered gossip, "Assistant Ding, I saw some online discussions about that fireworks and roses in the city center the other day, wasn't it...?"

With such a large sum of money at stake, and the recipient being named "Su Su," they couldn't help but have some doubts.

Ding Bo glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. You dare to gossip about President Ye's affairs."

His words were tantamount to an admission.

Although the employee had some idea, he still opened his mouth wide in an exaggerated way and exclaimed, "Wow!" He said, "I never would have guessed that President Ye would be this kind of person."

"I thought a CEO of Mr. Ye's caliber only knew how to throw money around." The employee shook his head and sighed. "I'm not as capable as Mr. Ye, and I'm not even as good at wooing my wife as he is."

Ding Bo shared the same sentiment.

When people reach a certain social status and can easily achieve their goals by using money and power, they become accustomed to this convenience.

Therefore, many rich second-generation men spend money when pursuing girls, and many men who claim to be good husbands also spend money.

Ding Bo had always thought that someone like Ye Yan, who had never been in a relationship, would be like most people in this circle: clumsily buying things for Qin Su and just giving her the money.

But Ye Yan completely overturned his expectations.

It turns out that even the most indifferent person can become an expert in love without any formal instruction.

Of course, this is not to say that money is unimportant; on the contrary, money is extremely important. Ye Yan was able to arrange for fireworks to be set off in the city on short notice and send out so many roses, all of which were supported by money.

However, a person's intentions cannot be judged solely by whether they have money or not.

Whether something a person gives away is valuable depends on what that person possesses.

Sweet words from a playboy are worthless, and jewelry and handbags from a billionaire don't necessarily represent love.

Because those things were too readily available and too cheap for them.

What's truly valuable is having someone willing to give you something they themselves lack.

Ding Bo was an outsider, so he could see things very clearly.

For people like Ye Yan, their time, energy, and dedication are incomparable to money.

Ye Yan's willingness to spend money on Qin Su may not seem like much, but if he is willing to both spend money on Qin Su and make the same sacrifices for her, then he has truly fallen into a trap.

Thinking of this, Ding Bo couldn't help but secretly go online to take a look.

Several days have passed and the hype has died down, but many people are still discussing it.

It started when someone posted online: "[Surprise! What day is it today? There are fireworks in the city center!]"

Which city? How come fireworks are still allowed in urban areas?

[Impossible! There haven't been any holidays or major events recently.]

[Really! I saw it too! It's at the XX Building in downtown Hongshi!]

[My goodness, what a beautiful fireworks show! It lasted for at least ten minutes, it was so gorgeous!]

Sisters, you're shocked! Hurry to the square! Someone's giving out roses there!

Wow, free roses? I want to join in the fun!

[Aaaaaaah! Help! Who is Su Su? Who is Su Su? Tell me so I can be envious!]

[What happened? What's with the "Su Su"? Can someone explain this clearly to those who weren't there?]

[To put it simply, after a fireworks show at the Hongshi XX Building, someone is giving away free roses in the square, but the person who receives the rose has to say, "Susu, wishing you happiness."]

【Holy crap!】

[No way, no way? Could the fireworks earlier have been for this Su Su too?]

I need to see Su Su's information within ten minutes!

[Oh my god, quickly tag all the idol drama production teams to learn from this! Stop with the wall slams and cheesy pickup lines, isn't this sweeter than all of that?]

In my lifetime, will I ever experience sweet love?

[Family members, I literally cried at the scene. It was so romantic, beyond words. So many strangers, each holding a rose and saying "I wish you happiness," I couldn't hold back my tears.]

More and more people joined the discussion, sharing photos and videos.

More and more people are asking: Who is Su Su?

Because the event itself was full of romance and mystery, it quickly gained traction and even became a trending topic.

As the hype grew, insiders began to subtly reveal information, and before long, people actually guessed Qin Su's identity.

The last time Qin Su made a public appearance was at the Ye family banquet, so her airport photos with Ye Yan and her live interview clips were brought up again for discussion.

[Back then, some people said they were the sweetest couple among the wealthy; they were true prophetes.]

After researching the family backgrounds of these two, I slowly lay down and thought, "How can the difference between people be greater than the difference between a person and a dog?"

[I thought it was someone else, but it was my wife! I went up to her confidently and said, "Hi, honey!"]

No matter how many times I see it, I can't help but exclaim how beautiful it is; it's unbelievable that such stunning beauty actually exists.

However, as the incident unfolded, some unfriendly comments gradually emerged.

[Is it an act?]

What era are we living in? What's the use of being pretty? Aren't you just a pretty face?

[Please, marketing accounts, stop posting this stuff! The new era should promote independent, self-reliant career women. These parasitic women who rely on men for fame should be secretly happy.]

Please note that "lady of leisure" is not synonymous with "housewife."

[How long can one's charms last? I'm waiting for this couple to divorce!]

[Maybe that domineering CEO just likes this kind of kept woman—pretty, easy to control, and not very bright.]

What was supposed to be a beautiful thing has turned into a social issue, even escalating to the question of whether career women or traditional family women are more noble.

Ding Bo frowned deeply as he looked at it.

After thinking about it, he decided to report to Ye Yan and then have the public relations department handle it.

But to my surprise, as soon as I knocked on the door of the president's office, I found Qin Su there as well.

Qin Su was standing in front of the claw machine trying to win a prize when she saw him and greeted him.

Ding Bo froze, his phone in hand, unsure whether to advance or retreat. He awkwardly asked, "Madam?"
