Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 722: Chapter 725: Where's Your Car?

After taking a day off at home, Yang Chen decided not to leave his subordinates hanging any longer and obediently went to the office the next day.

On the way to the company, Yang Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself. That morning, when he went downstairs, Lin Ruoxi, with a slightly unnatural blush, said "Good morning" to him and even shyly smiled. Yang Chen felt a bit like an old-fashioned wealthy man training his wife to greet him politely.

Upon arriving at the company, Wang Jie and Zhao Teng were waiting for him. Seeing Yang Chen finally come to work, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although they could handle many tasks, they couldn't finalize anything without the director's signature.

Looking at the pile of documents, Yang Chen frowned. Without someone to help, it was quite daunting. Fortunately, he didn't actually need to read them with his eyes. By scanning them with his divine sense, he could understand everything instantly.

Thus, he quickly went through all the documents. After approving a few important ones, Yang Chen asked, "How's Huilin's concert going?"

Wang Jie replied, "Don't worry, Director. Miss Lin Huilin's popularity is immense. Not only have we secured venues in major cities on the mainland, but even the Taipei Arena pushed back an agreement to accommodate her concert. However, the concert in Zhonghai has been postponed to next month due to a packed schedule. She also has to release some English songs this month to expand into the Western market. It's quite busy."

Yang Chen rubbed his forehead, wondering if Huilin could handle it all. While her health wasn't a concern due to her strong foundation in martial arts, the constant traveling might make her feel lonely. It seemed he needed to find time to call or visit her.

After meeting with several other company guests to discuss advertising sponsorships, mainly for the highly anticipated European Cup in June, Yang Chen signed a few minor contracts. He wasn't particularly passionate about sports, considering them child's play, but he still went through the motions.

Just before noon, his phone vibrated. It was a call from Lin Ruoxi.

Since their cozy afternoon nap the previous day, their relationship had grown more intimate, with a tender affection between them. Yang Chen happily answered, "Honey, missing me already? Want to nap on me again? If you do, I'll have to take off my shirt this time."

Lin Ruoxi, blushing on the other end of the line, could hear the teasing in Yang Chen's voice. She was still embarrassed about drooling on his shirt while napping the day before. "I don't want that," she hurriedly clarified. "I need you to come with me for something."

Yang Chen was puzzled, "Lunch?"

"Yes, but that's secondary. I want to visit a few orphanages, and I can't carry everything alone..."

Yang Chen slapped his forehead, realizing it was Children's Day. Of course, Lin Ruoxi would want to bring gifts to the kids.

Without wasting any time, Yang Chen agreed and headed straight to Yu Lei International. Once upstairs, he knocked on Lin Ruoxi's office door.

Before he could open the door himself, it was opened from the inside by a woman who surprised him greatly.

"Hongyan?"

Standing before him was Zhao Hongyan, wearing a light brown chiffon dress with a black belt, her hair curled and styled. It had been a while since he'd seen her.

Last time they parted at her house, he didn't expect to see her again so soon, and certainly not in Lin Ruoxi's office.

Zhao Hongyan, holding a file folder, smiled. "Good afternoon, Director Yang."

"You...," Yang Chen hesitated, "are you here to return the money?"

Zhao Hongyan laughed, "I will return it, but not today."

At that moment, Lin Ruoxi's cool voice came from inside, "Hongyan is my new assistant."

Assistant?

Yang Chen looked at Zhao Hongyan's proud expression and couldn't help but smile wryly. Lin Ruoxi certainly had sharp instincts. He had mentioned before that she needed an assistant he could trust, and she had immediately hired Zhao Hongyan, someone he was already familiar with.

"What about your meatball shop? Is it still open?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

Zhao Hongyan glanced back at Lin Ruoxi, who was checking something on the computer. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was not displeased, Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, President Lin invested in our meatball shop. We've already opened branches in three malls, and business is pretty good. We've even hired employees. Things at home have also improved. President Lin said Wu Yue went to Sam's Country to get married and have children, and she hoped I could be her assistant. Although I don't have much experience, I'm very happy to be President Lin's assistant."

Yang Chen was amused that Lin Ruoxi had really invested in the meatball shop. It seemed this woman had developed an obsession with glutinous rice balls. However, investing in a few small shops was nothing considering Lin Ruoxi's financial power.

After chatting a bit, Zhao Hongyan had to go downstairs to make copies, so she left. Yang Chen couldn't help but glance back at her charming figure, swaying gracefully. He remembered the time in the PR department when he had taken advantage of her quite a bit, except for the last step. Now that they had the chance to meet often again, he couldn't help but have some indecent thoughts.

Yang Chen had to admit to himself that he was indeed incorrigible.

"Hmph."

Lin Ruoxi's cold snort came from the office, obviously having noticed Yang Chen's lustful look.

Yang Chen quickly put on a serious face, coughed a few times, and walked to Lin Ruoxi's desk with a smile. "Honey, you're so kind-hearted, treating employees so well. Kind-hearted women are the most beautiful."

Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him. "Why don't you mention how I knew about Xue Ming exploiting Wu Yue but kept it from her?"

"Well, isn't the outcome pretty good? After all, it's true love," Yang Chen said with a sheepish smile.

Lin Ruoxi didn't want to dwell on that matter, just dissatisfied with Yang Chen's fake compliments. Seeing that it was about time, she stood up, grabbed her prepared bag, walked to Yang Chen, and hooked her arm around his. "Let's go."

Yang Chen swallowed and pointed to where Lin Ruoxi was holding him. "Are we going down like this? What if someone sees us?"

Lin Ruoxi revealed a sly smile. "What's wrong? A wife holding her husband's arm in the company, who can say anything? Don't worry, if anyone dares to talk, I'll fire them directly."

"It's not that, I mean..."

"Then what do you mean?" Lin Ruoxi immediately showed a hint of grievance. "Don't you want me to get close to you? Are you still mad at me?"

Yang Chen hurriedly shook his head. "Absolutely not!"

"Then let's go like this! I know you actually like it when I'm close, right?" Lin Ruoxi said, not hiding her satisfaction.

Yang Chen smiled wryly. He understood that Lin Ruoxi was intentionally flaunting their affection in the company. This would inevitably reach Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu, and also make many beautiful employees in Yu Lei keep their distance from him.

Sure enough, as Lin Ruoxi intimately held Yang Chen's arm and they took the elevator downstairs, the Yu Lei employees who got on and off the elevator showed various expressions, some envious, some shocked. Without a doubt, within half an hour, the whole building would know about their affectionate display.

In the underground parking lot, Lin Ruoxi immediately let go of his arm and glared at Yang Chen, because he had been misbehaving, secretly rubbing against her with his arm, making Lin Ruoxi almost lose her composure and let out some undignified sounds. After all, many sensitive nerve endings were in that area.

Yang Chen pretended as if nothing had happened and looked around. Not seeing Lin Ruoxi's Bentley, he asked, "Honey, where's your car?"

Lin Ruoxi, not arguing with him, motioned towards a corner with her mouth. "Over there."

Yang Chen was shocked when he saw it, almost popping his eyes out.
