"Feifei, go to the office first and assign the tasks. Zhou Fan, you're coming with me to the president's office!"
After parking the car downstairs, Chen Yi spoke to the two beside her as they walked into the building.
Gu Feifei pouted, a knowing look on her face. She had seen the whole display in the car just now. 'They were hugging and cuddling right in front of me. If I hadn't been there, wouldn't they have started making out?'
"When you see the president in a bit, don't say anything foolish!"
"What? Does she eat people?"
"Don't be ridiculous. The president is the woman I admire most, but she's just very cold and extremely strict at work. If she sees you goofing off, I'm afraid she'll kick you out of the company!"
Zhou Fan chuckled to himself at Chen Yi's words. 'A cold personality?'
'She'll kick me out of the company?'
'You have no idea she offered me an extra fifty thousand a month!'
He vividly recalled the woman from last night, standing before him so charmingly in his clothes, and the scene this morning outside the Civil Affairs Bureau where she swung her handbag at him.
"Come in!"
Chen Yi knocked on the door. From inside came Chu Yan's cold, emotionless voice.
"President Chu, this is the contract with Yunlong Group!" Chen Yi held the document with both hands and placed it gently on the desk in front of Chu Yan.
Chu Yan took the contract for a look, a flash of joy crossing her beautiful eyes. The contract was finally signed. She looked up, about to praise Chen Yi, but in that instant, she saw that rascal, Zhou Fan, winking and making faces at her from behind Chen Yi.
"Oh, right, President Chu, this is the new colleague I told you about a few days ago. We have Zhou Fan to thank for the smooth signing of this contract, and what's more..."
Seeing that Chu Yan was silent, Chen Yi assumed she was wondering who Zhou Fan was. She quickly explained, recounting everything that had happened in Zhang Long's office.
When she heard that Zhang Long would reserve a spot for them on the first floor of all of Yunlong Group's shopping centers, even with Chu Yan's composed personality, she almost jumped up in excitement!
How many shopping centers did Yunlong Group have?
In all of Nanjiang City, almost a quarter of the shopping centers were owned by Yunlong Group, and among them were many top-tier malls. Once Fenghua International moved in, both its brand recognition and profits would see a massive boost!
"Go draft a contract right now. Tomorrow, I'll personally take Zhou Fan over. Then, organize a celebration dinner tomorrow night—the expenses will be reimbursed. And once this is all finalized, the entire sales department gets a three-day holiday!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Chu Yan regained her composure and gave her instructions to Chen Yi. Then, she raised a delicate eyebrow, her beautiful eyes landing on Zhou Fan. "Zhou Fan, stay behind."
Before turning to leave, Chen Yi secretly gave Zhou Fan a gesture of encouragement.
"Wife, aren't I amazing?" Zhou Fan locked the door and walked over to Chu Yan's side with a smug look on his face.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me 'Wife' at the office?"
"It's just the two of us here. What are you afraid of?"
"Tomorrow, I'll go with you to sign the contract. We need to negotiate a lower rent; otherwise, a single quarter will cost us tens of millions!" Chu Yan's brows knitted together. 'Thank goodness I'm taking Zhou Fan home tonight. If things go as planned, I should be able to get a hundred million from Grandpa. If not, with the company's current finances, we can't even afford the rent!'
"Wife, if I can get Zhang Long to waive a quarter's rent for us, what kind of reward will I get?"
"If you can really do that, you can have any reward you want!"
"Then I want… to sleep with my arms around you!" Zhou Fan said with a wicked grin. At some point, his large hand had quietly found and held Chu Yan's slender, delicate one.
"No way! Didn't we agree that I wouldn't fulfill my wifely duties until I've fallen for you?" Chu Yan immediately retorted. 'This guy is outrageous! We only just met yesterday, and he already wants to sleep together!'
"Tch. Going back on your word, and you call yourself a beautiful CEO? You just said anything was fine. Besides, it's just holding each other, not doing anything else!" Zhou Fan grumbled unhappily, shooting Chu Yan a scornful look as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.
"So what if I go back on my word? And don't think I don't know what you're really thinking!" For the first time, Chu Yan, whose word was usually law, acted completely shameless in front of Zhou Fan.
Watching Chu Yan, who was now acting so proud and defiant with her chin tilted up, Zhou Fan gulped audibly. 'Damn, this wife of mine is so alluring. Her every move is a temptation!'
"Don't just stand there gawking. Do you really know medicine?" Seeing Zhou Fan staring blankly at her, Chu Yan let out a chuckle before her expression turned serious.
"Of course. Besides giving birth, there's nothing in this world your husband can't do!"
"Perfect. Tonight, we're going to my house to see my grandpa. You can take a look at him."
"What's wrong with our grandpa?" As he spoke, Zhou Fan took Chu Yan's small hand, a worried look on his face. Inwardly, however, he thought, 'So that old coot Chu Tianxiang has something wrong with him?'
'If this is true, then it's a golden opportunity for me!'
