Chapter 166 Whose perfume do you smell like?
Shang Chen: "Is it obvious?"
"It's alright," Wen Xi said calmly. "It smells quite nice."
Wenxi was just a little curious.
She and Shang Chen had been married for more than half a year, and she had never seen Shang Chen wear perfume.
Why are you suddenly wearing perfume today? Is something important happening?
Or they might ask, "Are you going to see someone important?"
Seeing that Shang Chen didn't explain, Wen Xi didn't ask any further questions.
For three consecutive days, Shang Chen dressed up meticulously before attending the meeting, his attire becoming more and more elaborate each day.
I also sprayed perfume for three days in a row.
Before leaving on the fourth day, Wenxi tucked the handkerchief into his chest and teased, "Mr. Shang, you dress up like this every day, it's hard for me not to overthink things."
Shang Chen was taken aback, probably not expecting Wen Xi to say that.
"What are you overthinking?"
Wenxi took two steps back, crossed her arms, and leaned against the table, admiring Shang Chen's beauty.
After a moment, she slowly said, "I was wondering if my Chenchen is having an affair?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Chen remained silent for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, Wenxi raised an eyebrow: "Don't tell me you actually have one?"
Shang Chen said seriously, "No!"
"I don't like flowers, nor do I like grass."
His answer was so rigid that Wenxi almost laughed.
Seeing Wenxi's nonchalant smile, Shang Chen said with a hint of helplessness, "Xixi, don't say things like that."
Their relationship was good, and Shang Chen didn't want to encounter any risks.
"Oh?" Wenxi nodded. "So, who are you trying to see by dressing like this every day?"
Shang Chen: "..."
"Can't you say?" Wenxi: "Never mind, I won't ask then."
Wenxi was just joking and didn't take it too seriously.
Wenxi casually took a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from the shelf and put them on Shang Chen.
Shang Chen's face showed confusion.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "This looks better."
Shang Chen was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant. "You like it?"
"like."
"So, I'll wear it for you to see alone tonight?"
Wenxi: "...Are you being serious?"
Shang pondered for a moment, "The words are serious, but the meaning is not."
Wenxi looked at Shang Chen's serious and handsome face, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
She could only change the subject: "My cold isn't better yet, I'm going to take my medicine first."
After Wenxi finished speaking, she turned and left.
A smile played in Shang Chen's dark eyes as he slowly followed behind Wen Xi.
Wenxi turned around: "Why are you following me?"
Shang Chen: "I'm afraid you'll secretly pour the medicine out."
Wenxi: "..."
One wrong step can lead to eternal regret.
Yesterday, Shang Chen had prepared the medicine when he received a phone call.
Wenxi disliked the bitterness of the medicine, so she dawdled and drank half of it before preparing to throw the other half away.
Unfortunately, Shang Chen caught them red-handed.
In the afternoon, Wenxi went to a court hearing on behalf of someone, and then had a meal with some friends from the Lawyers Association in Jiangbei.
It was already past nine o'clock when we got back to the hotel.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Shang Chen standing at the entrance.
They had obviously just arrived.
Wenxi: "Are you having a meeting again tonight?"
Shang Chen turned around and took the bag from Wen Xi's hand. "There was no meeting, just a meal together."
Wenxi didn't think much of it at first, but when she got closer, she smelled a faint fragrance on Shang Chen, which was rich and elegant.
It's somewhat like a women's perfume.
The crisp pine and bamboo scent emanating from Shang Chen was particularly out of place.
Wen Xi glanced at Shang Chen and suddenly thought of the lyrics: "Whose perfume do you smell like?"
Shang Chen was confused by Wen Xi's words: "What do you mean, whose perfume scent?"
Wenxi pushed open the door. "It's nothing, just asking casually."
Her family is hiding something from her.
Shang Chen stared at Wen Xi's back, then carefully raised his sleeve and took a deep sniff.
He didn't smell any fragrance.
Wenxi takes a shower in the advanced bathroom.
When she came out after taking a shower, the living room was deserted.
At this time in the past, Shang Chen would sit on the sofa and wait to coax her to take her medicine.
Although her cold had subsided, Shang Chen insisted that she continue taking the medicine for two more days.
Surprisingly, no one was in the living room today.
Something's not right. Something's wrong with everything.
Wenxi looked around and found the study light was on.
She pushed open the door and saw Shang Shen sitting at his desk, pen in hand, staring intently at the paper on the table with a furrowed brow.
Wenxi raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Shang Chen snapped out of his daze and looked up at Wen Xi: "Finished washing?"
Wenxi: "Mm."
Shang Chen stood up, calmly tucked the paper at the bottom of the document, and walked over casually: "The medicine is ready, I'll go get it for you."
If Shang Chen hadn't stuffed the paper at the very bottom, Wen Xi probably wouldn't have thought much of it.
Ke Wenxi watched his subtle, unintentional actions the whole time, and couldn't help but overthink it.
She glanced at Shang Chen several times while taking her medicine.
Shang Chen's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he were lost in thought and did not notice.
In the past, if Wenxi had looked at him a second time, he would have noticed and asked her if she liked looking at him.
It's unusually quiet today.
Wenxi: "What are you thinking about so intently?"
Shang Chen said without changing his expression, "Think about the content of tomorrow's meeting."
Wenxi nodded: "Very complicated?"
Shang Chen: "...It's alright."
Wen Xi joked, "A problem that even President Shang finds complicated requires more time to think about."
The next day, after seeing Shang Chen off, Wenxi went to see her teacher who had come from the capital.
Director Huang: "I'm going to attend the Jiangbei Summit. Will you come with me?"
"So sudden?"
Director Huang: "Mrs. Zhou contacted me and said that Zhou Yuan's previous secretary also attended the summit and knew a lot about Zhou Yuan."
Wen Xi: "Zhou Yuan's previous secretary...wasn't he one of Zhou Yuan's lovers?"
Wenxi had previously learned about this secretary and tried to contact her, but to no avail.
Director Huang: "This matter is complicated, let's talk about it in the car."
Wenxi immediately packed her things and drove Director Huang straight to the Jiangbei Summit.
On the way, Wenxi asked, "She knows Zhou Yuan's background, would Zhou Yuan let her go so easily?"
"This secretary is now the board secretary of Fengyuan International. Mrs. Zhou said that this person is quite shrewd and ambitious. When she was with Zhou Yuan, she wanted to use Zhou Yuan's support to climb the corporate ladder."
Wenxi: "You can tell she's a person who plans things out."
Following Zhou Yuan, no matter how well you do, you'll always just be a lover and secretary.
Becoming the board secretary at Fengyuan International would directly elevate one to a senior management position, potentially granting access to company shares and a promising future.
"Mrs. Zhou told me that she and Zhou Yuan had a very unpleasant falling out when they separated, and there's a high chance she'll agree to our request."
Wenxi pushed Director Huang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, into the meeting room.
The two were very accurate in their search, directly finding Zhou Yuan's former secretary.
Director Huang arrived in a wheelchair because some crucial information was missing.
The two sides found a hall to sit down and talk for more than half an hour.
The other party was very open and cooperative, answering all questions.
At the end, she smiled and shook hands with Wenxi.
"Wenlu, I have long admired your name."
She took out a business card and handed it to Wen Xi. "Let's get to know each other formally. I am Pang Ruoyun from Fengyuan International. I am currently discussing a cooperation with Anjia Trading. I have had the pleasure of meeting you, Ms. Wen, a few times. I am very impressed."
Wen Xi immediately understood why Pang Ruoyun was being so cooperative.
Anjia Trading is one of the most profitable companies under the Wen family, and is currently managed by Wen Zhou himself.
Wenxi had been in the workplace for seven years and was quite adept at handling this kind of thing.
"Perfect timing, I'm going to see my brother later."
She extended a generous invitation: "Mr. Pang, would you like to join us?"
The other party's willingness to provide information about Zhou Yuan is undoubtedly for the purpose of securing cooperation with their own company.
Wenxi has received her kindness, so she should reciprocate in kind.
She couldn't directly help Pang Ruoyun secure the order, but she could help introduce her to Wen Zhou.
As for whether Anjia Trading should cooperate with Fengyuan International, that's something that Wenzhou, the person in charge, should consider.
After settling Director Huang in, Wenxi took Pang Ruoyun to see Wenzhou.
When Wenxi saw Wenzhou, she instinctively called out, "Brother!"
It wasn't Wen Zhou who turned around first, but Yan Xu who was following behind him.
"What are you doing here?!"
Ignoring Yan Xu, Wen Xi walked straight to Wen Zhou: "Brother, were you tired from the meeting?"
"good."
Wen Zhou rubbed his temples. "You came all this way just to see me?"
Wenxi coaxed him, "Besides you, who else can I look at?"
Wen Zhou said expressionlessly, "Your succubus."
