Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 537: The First Visit to Tengxia Industries
Shen Lan’s only concern is that her failed marriage has hurt her son, making him fearful of marriage and even refusing to enter one.
She hopes that a girl can appear to change Xiaoyang’s view on marriage, as long as her son likes her, other things like background do not matter.
Yue Xiaoyang doesn’t want to bring up his father. He used to avoid the family and specialized in medicine because he didn’t want to take over the family business, just to rebel against his father.
Now he has understood that to gain the greatest freedom, he needs to first take over the family business, only then can he completely escape his father’s control. Like Yi Ke, who took over Gu Family early on and has absolute say in the family.
Of course, except in front of his wife.
Yue Xiaoyang now has hope in his life. Once he fully recovers, he will get married, provided Xiaoyu agrees.
This is a big challenge, considering how he didn’t cherish her in the past.
Adri, who was beside him, asked, "Mr. Yue, can I go to the company with you?"
"No need," Yue Xiaoyang refused candidly, "I have a secretary."
Adri forced a smile, "Okay, I will wait here for your return."
Yue Xiaoyang said, "Adri, I’ve written your recommendation letter. You can return to your country in a few days and report to the hospital. Doctor Bo Sen will look after you."
Adri didn’t care about any of these; she just wanted to stay here a little longer.
Mr. Yue urged her to leave, and her calm heart began to feel unjustly angered. Mr. Yue wasn’t like this before; seeing Miss Gong meant he was about to send her away.
Yue Xiaoyang didn’t notice Adri’s strangeness, "This is confirmed, the secretary will notify you in advance once the ticket is booked."
Adri replied, "Okay."
Gong Xiaoyu came to Tengxia Industries for the first time.
This building is in the same business district as the Gu Family, both are in the most prosperous golden area of Yan City.
She had been with him for three years, passed by here countless times, but never stopped once.
She knew he didn’t like others to know about their relationship, never allowed her to visit him at the company. Back then, Gong Xiaoyu liked him, these small issues didn’t matter. She accommodated everything for him, but now she feels she was really being foolish.
A woman can lower herself to the dust for a man she likes.
She let go of many principles for him, and yet wasn’t able to have a result with him. If that’s not foolish, then what is?
Gong Xiaoyu reminded herself she was here to talk business, all the past should just be left behind.
She walked into the lobby and told the receptionist, "I’m here to see your General Manager."
The receptionist politely asked, "Are you Miss Gong from Si Yuan Education?"
"Yes."
The receptionist didn’t dare to neglect. It was specially instructed by the General Manager. She first notified the General Manager’s secretary, then said, "Miss Gong, please follow me."
Gong Xiaoyu followed the receptionist to the 37th floor. As the elevator doors opened, a secretary was waiting outside.
The secretary shook her hand, "Hello, Miss Gong, I am the General Manager’s secretary. This way, please."
It was only a few dozen meters to the office.
Gong Xiaoyu started to feel nervous. She pushed down the turmoil in her heart, secretly pinching herself to pull herself together, to avoid making any jokes and losing face.
She followed the secretary into the General Manager’s office, where Yue Xiaoyang was waiting for her.
The secretary served coffee and left, leaving the two in silence.
Yue Xiaoyang suddenly became speechless, staring at her, making Gong Xiaoyu angry.
How long does he intend to keep staring? Doesn’t he know it’s very rude?
She said, "General Manager Yue, you should know why I am here today."
"Yes, I know. Please have a seat." Yue Xiaoyang awkwardly gestured for her to sit down.
Gong Xiaoyu sat opposite him. Yue Xiaoyang seemed more nervous than her, making it look like this was her office.
She felt a bit relaxed deep down, which was good. The situation wasn’t too bad; she hadn’t lost in terms of presence.
She took out a document, "I had signed a cooperation agreement with the Gu Family earlier. Gu Family is Party A. President Gu is now changing his mind at the last minute. Our small institution, Si Yuan Education, can’t compete with a big group. Now Tengxia Industries is responsible for reviewing our new course project. I wonder when General Manager Yue will be able to dispatch the technical team and approve the funds? Our schedule is quite urgent."
She tried to convey her message calmly and unhurriedly, not wanting to seem cornered by him, which would be very embarrassing.
Yue Xiaoyang greedily watched her every move, she was sitting right opposite him. Her voice was still as pleasant, just her attitude was somewhat distant, cold like a stranger.
But it’s okay; he was already happy she came.
Gong Xiaoyu waited a few minutes without a response. She was about to hit him from being stared at.
She didn’t want to lose her temper in front of him. She wanted him to know that she was no longer who she used to be, not someone he could easily control anymore.
She stood up, "Since General Manager Yue is not clear yet, we have nothing more to say. Once the General Manager has made a decision, I will..."
Yue Xiaoyang quickly said, "No, please sit down. Let’s discuss this properly."
Gong Xiaoyu didn’t sit down, "General Manager, what exactly do you want? Speak now."
Yue Xiaoyang, following An Junxi’s advice, didn’t dare to act superior. He found an excuse to keep her, "Give me a few minutes to think."
Gong Xiaoyu looked at her watch, "Okay, it’s been nine seconds, how many minutes does the General Manager need?"
Yue Xiaoyang rubbed his forehead. Did she really hate seeing him so much that she couldn’t even give a few minutes?
"It’s time for me to take my medicine. You know my leg isn’t convenient. Can you help me get the medicine from the resting room?"
Gong Xiaoyu thought, I’m here for business, not to be your nanny!
Her hand clenched and then relaxed. Forget it, endure a bit for the sake of business.
She asked, "Where is the resting room?"
Yue Xiaoyang pointed behind him, "Through that door, the medicine is on the table."
Gong Xiaoyu walked into the resting room, intending to leave immediately after getting the medicine. Passing by a cabinet, she noticed a drawer not completely closed, and the contents made her stop.
She glanced at the door, unable to resist her curiosity, and opened the drawer.
It was full of her photos.
She took the photos out and looked through them. From a few months ago until now, there were pictures of her at the company entrance, on the street, in the mall, almost all public places, even many photos of her dining with Yu Zheng.
Her hands trembled. Was Yue Xiaoyang a pervert? Had he been having her watched? Did he not respect her privacy at all?
She quickly walked out and threw the photos in front of him, "Yue Xiaoyang, what does this mean? What right do you have to do this!"
Yue Xiaoyang panicked. He hurried to grab her hand, "Xiaoyu, listen to me..."
Gong Xiaoyu pushed him away, "Yue Xiaoyang, do you think you’re so great because you’re the eldest son of the Yue Family? You come and go as you please? I hate self-righteous men like you the most!"
