Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 388 Boyfriend?

The heads of the various departments, after reorganizing and reporting the content of last night’s meeting that hadn’t been perfected, noticed that the president’s expression had not changed at all.

Instead, he reminded everyone in a very good temper which items needed further improvement and which could be approved...

The plan was for the meeting to last all day, but it ended before noon.

It was not until the end that everyone heard another unbelievable and utterly shocking piece of news: their president had announced he was taking a week off for annual leave!!!

For a moment, everyone in the meeting room, except for Secretary Zhang, thought their president’s soul must have been swapped with someone else’s.

Ever since the president took over the company, they had never heard of him taking time off.

Not to mention annual leave, which was nothing short of a fairy tale.

On the weekends he was supposed to have off, their president was either on a business trip or entertaining clients. Now he was saying he would take a whole week off for annual leave—that was too much!

Only the Finance Department manager, who was not afraid of dying, asked, "President, did you really say you’ll take annual leave next week?"

The president only mentioned it once. He found it hard to believe, and the others did too, except the Finance Department wasn’t as daring.

Song Jinze nodded, "Yes, it’s true. Starting this weekend, I have to accompany my wife on a variety show, so for the next few days, please organize any documents that require my signature quickly. For the following week, if there are any emergencies, consult Secretary Zhang."

Everyone ignored what was said afterward; after all, that was the normal workflow. What echoed in their minds was only the sentence the president had uttered:

"Starting this weekend, I have to accompany my wife on a variety show..."

The Finance Department manager was stunned on the spot: Before entering the meeting room, his secretary told him that the president and his wife had a "plastic" relationship and the president would definitely not participate in a variety show.

So, who was this person talking about appearing on a variety show with his wife?

Could this be a fake president?

After Song Jinze left the meeting room, Secretary Zhang looked at the higher-ups with varying expressions and cleared his throat twice. When everyone came to their senses, he said solemnly,

"I’m sure you have all heard, there has been a lot of discussion lately within the company about the president’s personal life—much of it is messy. What the president said in this meeting room today, I hope that after you walk out of this door, you will refrain from talking more about it.

Please also ensure that your departments are managed well and that no more rumors about the president are spread. If it’s discovered that anyone in a department is gossiping behind their backs during working hours, the entire department’s year-end bonuses will be canceled, and the person who initiated the gossip will be fired on the spot. I hope each department head communicates this new rule effectively."

The higher-ups: ...

Things had been a bit odd recently; such a large corporation, yet people would form small groups to gossip. If it wasn’t about the president, it was about Ye Zhenzhen, and not just in chat groups—the gossip continued in the pantry and offices.

Now that Secretary Zhang had spoken this way, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and expressed that they would take immediate action.

...

At one in the afternoon on Tuesday, Ye Zhenzhen made a phone call to the kindergarten teacher to take the afternoon off to take the little one to Lemon Channel for a studio recording.

Since last Friday night up until Tuesday, Ye Zhenzhen had almost four days without seeing the little one. Although they spoke on the phone every day, upon seeing the adorable little dumpling now, she couldn’t help but hug the little one tightly in her arms.

After boarding the car, she smiled and asked Xiao Chen, "Did you miss Mommy?"

Throwing himself into Ye Zhenzhen’s arms and wrapping his short little arms around her, Xiao Chen nodded non-stop, "Missed you, missed you so much."

Yuchen was supposed to come home last night, but Grandma said she wanted to make a phone call to Daddy first. After the call, Daddy said he didn’t have time to pick him up and told him to continue staying at Grandma’s house,

So, Song Yuchen was very sad last night. He felt that all his sincerity before had been misplaced, thinking about getting Ye Zhenzhen and his dad to reconcile and get along well.

Now that his dad and Ye Zhenzhen were on good terms, they seemed to want to push him aside. They had clearly agreed to go to Grandma’s house for the weekend, and he was supposed to be able to return home on Monday night, but come Monday, they said there was no time.

Hmph! Dad’s so heartless!

Still feeling sad this morning, Song Yuchen unexpectedly received a call from Ye Zhenzhen. She said she wanted to take him to participate in a TV show recording in the afternoon and asked if he wanted to go.

The little guy was thrilled inside about this arrangement, of course, he was willing to! As long as he could be with Mom, he was up for anything.

While Song Yuchen was happy, he didn’t forget to make a call to brag to his dad. Holding onto his Great Grandfather’s phone, he dialed Song Jinze’s number.

After the call connected, he asked with a giggly smile, "Dad, it’s me, Yuchen, good morning!"

When Song Jinze received Xiao Chen’s call, he was already out the door, in the car, and he was in a very good mood himself, "Mmm, good morning."

"Dad, are you going to work?"

"Yes," the man responded while looking at the data on his tablet.

Song Yuchen’s childlike voice giggled on the other end of the phone, "Then you have to work hard, Dad, earn lots of money. Soon I’m going out to play with Mom!"

Hmph! We won’t be taking you this time~

The little guy thought about it but ultimately didn’t say this out loud.

"Yuchen, aren’t you going to kindergarten?"

"I am, but Mom said she asked for a day off for me. I’m going to go film a variety show with Mom!"

You might not let me come home, Dad, but I still get the chance to see Mom.

Song Jinze nodded, "Oh, is that so? Then listen to Mom and don’t give her any trouble."

"Of course, I’m Mom’s favorite boyfriend, I definitely won’t cause her trouble!"

Song Jinze frowned, "Boyfriend?"

He suddenly remembered what the little guy had said on Saturday morning when he dropped him off at his grandfather’s—his mom’s favorite person was her boyfriend.

This had bothered him for quite a while.

"Yeah, I am Mom’s favorite boyfriend. Dad, you are second, did you know that?" The little guy tried to imply gently that even if Dad and Ye Zhenzhen were getting along very well, Ye Zhenzhen’s favorite person was still him, her boyfriend.

Not understanding, Song Jinze continued to ask, "Why are you Mom’s boyfriend?"

Xiao Chen boasted confidently, "Because Mom said I’ll be someone else’s boyfriend in the future, but I don’t want to be someone else’s boyfriend. I just want to be my mom’s boyfriend, and then Mom agreed, saying I’m her first boyfriend!"

After explaining all this to his dad, Xiao Chen felt like he had won, hehe~

In his mom’s heart, Dad was second, he was the first.

Song Jinze, seeing a message pop up on his tablet, curved his lips into an indulgent smile, "Alright, Dad knows, now hurry up and get ready for school."

The boyfriend is Xiao Chen, huh...
