Chapter 285 Is this all you can do?
"This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying! How did she figure it out? I even suspect that she investigated my account beforehand and deliberately cheated me out of it."
Although Guo Jingying has a close relationship with her best friend, she still felt compelled to defend her idol: "Is it really necessary to smear you? What's the point of going through all this trouble?"
"...I'll give you a chance to take back what you said, and we can still be good friends."
The two best friends bickered for a bit, and then Lin Peijun suddenly seemed to remember something. She grabbed Guo Jingying's hand and said, "Wait, if that girl really is Xiao Yezi, and if there was no shady dealing in my lottery, then what she said that day about the red string having the power to help you find your Mr. Right—could it really help you find your Mr. Right?"
Guo Jingying blushed and quickly pulled her hand back, but her fingertips unconsciously touched the red string on her wrist. She muttered softly, "How can you say for sure about these things? It all depends on fate."
Lin Peijun frowned and said nothing more.
Then, as if noticing something, she twitched her nose and said in surprise, "Jingjing, did you change your perfume? The scent seems a little different from usual."
Guo Jingying's expression stiffened slightly: "Really? Maybe when I got back, a passenger on the bus brought a durian, and I was close to her, so I picked up a bit of the smell. It should dissipate in a while. Never mind, I'll go change my clothes."
After saying that, Guo Jingying broke free from Lin Peijun's hand and fled in panic.
Lin Peijun was left rubbing her nose, looking completely bewildered: "Durian?"
Is this durian? It doesn't smell like it.
It felt strangely familiar, kind of like... the scent of her brother's usual perfume.
Ye Wanxi was completely unaware of the online uproar, the excited celebrations in her fan group, and the revelation of her identity by her die-hard fans.
After staying up late to forward Nie Yuyang's promotional Weibo post, she turned off her phone and went to sleep. This morning, she got up early again to prepare a large box of dishes and desserts, and rushed to the Feng Group building before Feng Tianyu had lunch.
This was the first time Ye Wanxi had come to Fengtianyu Company to deliver something. The receptionist was caught off guard when she saw a fully armed woman carrying large and small boxes walking in from outside, and immediately became wary.
She maintained a polite smile and asked courteously, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Excuse me, I'm waiting for someone here. He'll be down soon."
Since that's what she said, the receptionist couldn't say anything more, so she nodded and told Ye Wanxi to sit and wait in the lobby.
However, before Ye Wanxi could even sit down, the person she was waiting for rushed downstairs.
"Miss Ye, I'm late. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, I just arrived too."
"Let's go up quickly, the boss has already asked."
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way, which caused a slight delay."
Upon hearing her say that, Guan Xuanshi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I didn't mean to blame you. The boss will be happier to see you than to eat any delicacy."
Guan Xian consciously took the heavier box from Ye Wanxi's hands and led Ye Wanxi step by step upstairs.
As Ye Wanxi passed the receptionist, she smiled at her.
It wasn't until the two entered the elevator that led directly to the CEO's office that the receptionist snapped out of her daze and pulled out her phone to bombard the company group chat with messages!
Receptionist Zhang: Aww, guess what I just saw? The special assistant just came downstairs and personally escorted a young lady upstairs, taking the elevator that goes directly to the CEO's office! Do you think it might be...?
At that time, many people in the company were eating and browsing group chats. Soon, someone jumped out and discussed the breaking news with Xiao Zhang.
Finance staff member Liu: The president's wife?! What does that young lady look like? Is she tall? Is she pretty? Does she have a good presence?
Receptionist Xiao Zhang: She was wearing sunglasses and a hat, so I couldn't see her face clearly. But judging from her exposed chin and hands, her skin was practically glowing white! Amazing skin!
HR Xiao Li: Could it be the boss's mother or Miss Du?
Receptionist Xiao Zhang: Absolutely not! I've met Boss's mom and Miss Du before, this is definitely not her! Besides, when the assistant led her upstairs just now, I vaguely heard the assistant say something like, "The boss will be happier to see you than to eat any delicacies." That tone, that wording—it's definitely the madam!
Operations Xiao Yuan: Don't stir up trouble over uncertain things; they might just be ordinary friends.
Purchasing Assistant Xiao Deng: Ordinary friends can get personal escorts from the boss's assistant, and they can freely ride the CEO's elevator and enter the CEO's office? Some people shouldn't think no one knows their thoughts; their sourness is practically overflowing the screen. Unfortunately, no matter how sour you are, the boss won't like you. People should have some self-awareness.
Operations Xiao Yuan: Explain yourself clearly, who's jealous?
Purchasing Xiao Deng: Whoever fits into this category is the one who does it.
Feng Tianyu is rich, handsome, from a good family, and single, so it's inevitable that some people in the company have designs on him.
Most people either have a crush on someone secretly or know when to stop. But there are a few bad apples who are self-righteous and love to show off, making it seem like liking the boss is some kind of amazing thing, and everyone has to fawn over her, give way to her, and make way for her.
Many people may not say it, but they have long been disgusted by it. Before, when there was no situation in Fengtian Domain, they couldn't say anything.
Now that a "lady in reserve" has suddenly appeared, the whole group has exploded. They're fighting like madmen, spitting everywhere, leaving those who don't know how to fight in awe.
Ye Wanxi was unaware of the uproar she would cause upon arriving at the door. With Guan Xianshi's escort, she smoothly entered Feng Tianyu's office on the top floor.
Hearing the door open, Feng Tianyu assumed it was his lunch and didn't even look up: "Just put it on the table, come back to collect it in half an hour."
After speaking, Feng Tianyu noticed that no one paid any attention to him or went out. He frowned, looked up in confusion, and met Ye Wanxi's ambiguous smile.
"Why are you here?" Feng Tianyu immediately stood up and walked towards Ye Wanxi.
"I've brought you a homemade lunchbox!" Ye Wanxi let the other person lead her by the hand to the sofa and placed the boxes she brought on the table. "Didn't you say you weren't busy today? How come you don't even have time to eat lunch?"
"I'm not busy, I just want to finish this quickly so I can leave work early and find you sooner."
However, it seems unnecessary now.
"And you? What brings you here at this hour?"
"I had planned to come find you around this time anyway. Inviting you to dinner was just a pretext; I wanted to surprise you. How about it, are you surprised to see me like this?"
"What a surprise! I was so surprised that I thought I was dreaming."
Ye Wanxi chuckled: "You dreamt that I came to your company? Is that all you've got?"
