"Hmph, you're far inferior to Fang Xue. Fang Xue's smile can brighten my mood for the whole day, but you... can't."

[Oh no, just mentioning Fang Xue reminds me of that pervert Ye Lin again. Ugh, hold it in, please don't throw up.]

[Besides, what's so interesting about the Ice Cube girl? She's cold and unattractive.]

"Is that so..." Zhao Meng'er didn't seem to be discouraged at all; instead, she became even sweeter.

"How about this, darling~?"

Zhao Meng'er deliberately struck an alluring sitting pose, using the table as a cover. She raised her leg, which was encased in seductive black stockings, and slowly teased Luo Chen.

thump!

thump!

Luo Chen was completely dumbfounded.

The tingling, itchy sensation, like ants crawling on my calves, was a mix of pain and pleasure.

"Zhao Meng'er, what are you doing?"

Luo Chen suppressed the pleasure he was enjoying, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth.

Zhao Meng'er blinked cutely, without stopping her little antics under the table.

She looked innocent, as if she didn't understand what Luo Chen was saying.

"Zhao Meng'er, that's enough. If you keep going like this, I'm going to get angry." Luo Chen feigned anger.

Zhao Meng'er smiled, a beautiful smile playing on her lips.

[What's going on? The angrier this woman gets, the more outrageous she becomes. Could it be that she's developed some kind of fetish?]

Zhao Meng'er, who was about to continue her prank, froze upon hearing this, somewhat annoyed.

[However, it feels so good to feel this long-lost feeling again. No, no, I'm Fang Xue's villainous simp now, I can't have these feelings for Meng'er.]

Zhao Meng'er's mood instantly brightened again.

"Zhao Meng'er, let me make this clear to you. Don't think that just because you're engaged to me, you can act recklessly. I love Fang Xue. Do you understand?"

The voice was loud enough for everyone in the conference room to hear. Even though they had been pretending to be oblivious, they could no longer ignore it.

Zhao Meng'er is Luo Chen's fiancée and the vice president of Luo's Group. Even now, in front of everyone, Luo Chen still doesn't give her any face.

Everyone knows that Luo Chen likes Fang Xue, but Zhao Meng'er is his fiancée. If he said it so bluntly, any other girl would be very angry and might even slam the table and leave.

Moreover, the meeting hadn't even started yet, and everyone was already discussing it in their minds when they heard Luo Chen's blunt words.

How will Zhao Meng'er face this?

Will they simply accept the declaration of their love, choose to give it up to someone else, or simply leave in humiliation?

The next moment.

Zhao Meng'er smiled sweetly and said, "Do you still remember what I told you?"

"???"

"You said you like Fang Xue, so I wish you both happiness. But I will give you even greater happiness than she did, so... I don't mind. Even if you have the ability to bring Fang Xue home, I still won't mind, because I am the one who will bring you happiness."

"!!!"

The conference room fell silent. Luo Chen was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed.

Where is this?

do what?

who I am?

WTF!

This is outrageous.

Luo Chen was truly dumbfounded; this woman wasn't playing by the rules.

What went wrong that made this woman act so unpredictably?

[No, no, we're not that close. Even when we went out together once, I didn't show her much concern.]

[Moreover, as the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, she is proud and arrogant. Winning her heart requires far more than ordinary methods. Even last time, she only gradually showed her affection later on, and she never went so far as to say such things in front of everyone.]

[I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy, I'm really going crazy! Please, stop doing this to me! If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. What boy doesn't like hearing things like this? But I can't! The story will fall apart!]

Luo Chen was anxious and didn't know how to start the conversation to resolve the current situation.

Zhao Meng'er felt a sweet warmth in her heart. So, he liked hearing things like that. Why did she only start to like him at the very end, when he was such an interesting guy?

And what was the last time?

Zhao Meng'er quickly felt relieved, if it weren't for being able to hear Luo Chen's thoughts.

She would probably still be indifferent to Luo Chen as before, instead of being full of curiosity about him now.

"Pfft, alright, look at you now. This is meeting time, you need to be serious."

Zhao Meng'er chuckled and teased Luo Chen about his current dazed look, while at the same time acting like a boss's wife and saying to the others, "Let's begin the meeting. We've already run out of time, let's continue now."

They didn't start immediately, but glanced at Luo Chen. Seeing that Luo Chen didn't object, they began today's meeting discussion.

Although Zhao Meng'er helped Luo Chen out of the predicament, Luo Chen was not happy at all.

He already felt nauseous early in the morning, but this incident made him feel even worse.

He kept thinking about whether something was wrong.

Logically speaking, although the plot deviated slightly in the second playout, it wasn't a big problem. However, he always felt that the characters he was facing this time were not quite right.

He was clearly following the plot and his character wasn't ruined, so why does something still feel off?

The meeting continued with discussions, and Luo Chen kept his eyes glued to the proposal.

He appeared to be very serious on the surface, but he was secretly having a lot of thoughts on his mind.

Zhao Meng'er overheard quite a bit.

I've also learned a bit about it.

Although she is a future business queen, Luo Chen is a villain's sycophant, so she can also be considered a villain, opposing the protagonist.

In the years that followed, he fought against the protagonist Ye Lin for a long time, causing Ye Lin a lot of suffering, but his ending was not good.

According to Luo Chen, her ending was tragic. The protagonist had a great time, gaining both wealth and beauty, while she lost her family and her life.

It seems that she rejected the protagonist and did not join his harem, which is why she chose this path.

Hearing about her miserable situation, Zhao Meng'er suddenly took a liking to Ye Lin. She didn't care about him being the protagonist or the Dragon King; since she knew about him, she might as well change things.

Anyway, since she's the villain, she won't feel any psychological burden when dealing with the protagonist.

At this moment, Chen Jian stood up, holding the documents, and looked at Luo Chen.

"Mr. Luo, what are your thoughts on this plan?"

"I have no objection."

Luo Chen looked at it seriously, seemingly very much in agreement with the investment and cooperation.

Tianhai Company obtained the consent of the Ningcheng government and acquired the right to develop the Xicheng District project, creating an economic zone.

However, although Tianhai Company is an established company responsible for construction and real estate, it earns tens of billions of yuan in profits every year, which is far greater than that of the Luoshi Group and the other three companies.

The Xicheng District project is very profitable, and many people are eyeing this opportunity, as it is the largest economic zone in the future. The initial investors will reap far greater profits later than their initial investment.

The Luo Group would naturally not let this opportunity pass, as it could use it to surpass the other three major families and become the number one family in Ningcheng.

"If Mr. Luo has no objections, then please sign here," Chen Jian said.
