Returning to his room, Chen Yan opened his luggage and tidied up his belongings while reminiscing about He Mengxue's spirited expression just now, shaking his head involuntarily, "The women down the mountain are tigers, the ancients did not deceive me."
"Indeed, boys must protect themselves when they are outside."
Facing He Mengxue's cunning, Chen Yan was well aware. Even if he wasn't sure, the high favorability rating of 188 from He Mengxue was enough to tell him that the enticing girl next door was already ripe.
But... he still planned to first handle the few messes he had on hand before causing trouble with this young sapling.
Of course... another main reason was that the day before yesterday was too crazy with Yang Rou, and Chen Yan was still immersed in it, having no thoughts about anyone else for now.
After tidying up his belongings, Chen Yan left his room.
The layout of the small suite was a "品" shaped structure. The master bedroom was in front, followed by Chen Yan's secondary bedroom and a study.
Chen Yan went into the study to look around.
He discovered it was a simple office area. There was a desk, chairs, and a bookshelf.
On the bookshelf, there were some books. Chen Yan casually flipped through them and found some guide books about Tiandu and some classics.
Chen Yan put down the book and walked forward, finding He Mengxue also tidying up her things.
Seeing Chen Yan, she threw him a flirtatious glance, "Missed me already?"
Chen Yan: .....
"Not really. I just finished my own stuff and wanted to see if you needed any help."
He Mengxue didn't treat Chen Yan as an outsider, directly commanding him to help her hang clothes or arrange items.
Thus, what started as one person tidying up turned into two.
However, as they tidied, Chen Yan felt something was off.
Why... was he always dealing with He Mengxue's underwear?
And... what kind of underwear was this?
Why was there one with straps, barely any fabric?
Why was there a soft, round silicone thing?
Why were there some hollowed-out, black ones that made his heart race just by looking at them?
Chen Yan, full of questions, looked towards He Mengxue.
He Mengxue, with her back to him, was tidying up the bed.
This girl was obviously meticulous from a young age. Bringing her own bedsheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases even on a business trip.
At this moment, she flung up the sheets, then leaned over the bed to smooth them out.
Was it on purpose or not, she struck an "S" shaped pose, her front body arching up, her generous bosom like stalactites proud on her chest, beautifully transitioning to her perky bottom.
Today, she wore tight jeans.
Beneath the wrapping, was a beauty ready to burst forth.
Chen Yan swallowed, muttering, "Tiger, tiger, tiger...", then lowered his gaze.
However, there might truly be a natural attraction between men and women, and even though Chen Yan refrained himself, his gaze was magnetically drawn back to He Mengxue.
He Mengxue might have sensed Chen Yan's thoughts, she "Hmm~" gasped softly then straightened up and stretched.
It looked as if she was relaxing after tiring herself with the sheets.
But her top was already a tight pleated T-shirt, and as she stretched, her curves were on full display, revealing her pale, flat belly.
Chen Yan: .....
Devil, devil, devil....
In such torment, Chen Yan finally managed to finish helping He Mengxue tidy up.
Right when he thought everything was about to end,
suddenly, right in front of him, He Mengxue reached for the zipper of her jeans, grabbed the edges, and began to squat and pull them down.
Seeing her half-exposed snowy bottom, Chen Yan was dazed.
He quickly reached out a hand, "Swoosh!"
"What are you doing!?"
He Mengxue paused with her hands in mid-motion, the partial cover making her even more alluring. She looked at Chen Yan with a bewildered, foolish expression and said, "Changing clothes?"
"We have a formal dinner tonight with Director Cao, right? I definitely can't wear this."
Chen Yan: .....
"You could wait for me to leave before changing."
"What do you mean by changing in front of me?!"
He Mengxue rolled her eyes attractively at Chen Yan and replied, "You've seen it before. What's there to get excited about."
Saying this, she continued stripping.
In a moment, wearing just a black hollowed-out bra and her model-like long, pale legs appeared in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan swallowed and hurriedly closed his eyes and dashed back to his secondary bedroom.
He almost accidentally hit the wall due to the haste.
Watching Chen Yan's flustered appearance, He Mengxue stretched an arm upwards, removed her upper T-shirt, and displayed a mischievous victorious smile.
With only her underwear remaining, He Mengxue posed proudly, then lowered her head to admire herself, then bent over to search for the gown she was to wear that evening....
...
When Jiang Xiaoyun arrived at the hotel and saw Chen Yan and He Mengxue, they both acted completely normal, each staying in their rooms, absorbed in their phones.
When she knocked on the door, He Mengxue opened it for her while sending a text with a smile.
Chen Yan wasn't in the master bedroom; it was Jiang Xiaoyun who had to go to the secondary bedroom to fetch him.
Chen Yan, however, felt something was off, gripping his phone a little tightly and seemed a bit flustered to turn off the screen when Jiang Xiaoyun arrived.
But Jiang Xiaoyun didn't notice anything amiss, just feeling that Director Chen might have some secrets.
Together with Chen Yan, they joined He Mengxue in the master bedroom where she had already perched up her long legs, set down her phone, and hummed a tune.
Jiang Xiaoyun always felt He Mengxue was a bit odd, as if... slightly triumphant?
As she'd never been acquainted with this Miss who was rumored to have a profound background, she dared not ask more.
But she did notice, after Chen Yan came out, he shot a fierce glare at Miss He.
This made her even more puzzled about their relationship.
She always felt they acted intimately, like a couple, yet she had heard that Director Chen had a girlfriend and that Miss He and Director Chen were business partners.
Thus, she couldn't unravel all these twists and turns.
Fortunately, she couldn't speak, making life seem simpler. All was sunny, without the need to ponder over such complex matters.
Therefore, she didn't keep her observations to heart but hummed her favorite song inwardly, then escorted these two corporate executives downstairs to the parking lot and drove them to the dinner venue....
...
Tonight's dinner was one of the most formal Chen Yan had ever attended. Though it was small, with only four or five people, it was still highly formal in terms of standards and etiquette.
It was said that this was because Director Cao of Jiu Lang highly valued etiquette.
After Jiu Lang started declining, he had shifted his focus from his career to his personal life.
This made him one of those in the Tiandu wealthy circles who knew how to enjoy life, indulging in food and drinks and knowing how to have fun.
Arriving at the dinner venue, Chen Yan and He Mengxue walked hand in hand, following the waiter inside.
As they walked, Chen Yan leaned down and whispered into He Mengxue's ear, "Why did you send me that kind of photo?"
He Mengxue didn't look away, a flirtatious smile playing at the corners of her mouth, "Why? Didn't you find it pretty?"
Chen Yan was speechless.
He wanted to say it wasn't pretty, but that kind of crossed his conscience.
To say it was pretty felt like a weak response.
However, Miss He clearly saw right through Chen Yan's nature early on, so she glanced ahead, turned her head away, and whispered to Chen Yan, "If you think they're pretty, I'll send you a few more tonight."
"Glug," Chen Yan swallowed.
After a moment, he finally squeezed a word from his dry throat, "Okay…"
A hardly noticeable smile appeared on He Mengxue's face.
Clearly, since the last time she tried to contact Chen Yan for half an hour without him responding, until she sent him a picture of her legs and he replied instantly, she had found Chen Yan's vulnerability.
Chen Yan was actually quite innocent!
At that time, he genuinely hadn't seen the messages, and just when he saw them, He Mengxue had sent the leg photo, who was he to complain?
Why even complain? What if she stopped sending them...
Moreover, now he was beginning to receive more than just photos of legs.
Some more wonderful things were slowly starting to reveal their mysteries to Chen Yan...
While daydreaming about all these things, Chen Yan and He Mengxue reached the banquet hall.
Inside the hall, Director Cao of Jiu Lang, his entourage, and Song Chuang had already arrived.
Song Chuang was also in a suit and leather shoes today, laughing and talking next to Director Cao.
Director Cao, however, was smiling reservedly, his chubby face neither happy nor sad, expression unreadable.
However, when he saw Chen Yan, his eyes lit up, and a smile suddenly spread across his face.
He stood up from behind the table, and with a warm smile, approached him saying, "This must be Chen Yan, President Chen, right?"
As he spoke, he walked up to Chen Yan and enthusiastically extended both hands, saying, "I've heard so much about you."
Chen Yan subtly scanned the situation on the table while getting up with Director Cao, and everyone stood up to greet him.
Seeing their actions, Chen Yan felt reassured inside. He believed tonight would go very smoothly.
Thinking so, Chen Yan gently tapped He Mengxue's hand which was around his arm, and understanding the signal, she immediately let go and stepped aside.
So Chen Yan also extended both hands, with a full smile, and reached out, "Yes, it's me. You must be Director Cao, right?"
When their hands met, it looked incredibly harmonious.
Director Cao was indeed very enthusiastic; hearing Chen Yan speak, he quickly patted Chen Yan's hand, saying, "Don't keep calling me Director Cao, it's too formal. I'm a few years older than you, if you respect me, just call me Brother Cao."
Chen Yan didn't feel like it was Director Cao being presumptuous; it was just normal social interaction. So he flowed with it and cheerfully responded, "Haha, alright, Brother Cao."
Thus, the two of them laughing and talking, approached the dining table.
And He Mengxue, who had turned into an "invisible person" since their arrival, didn't mind and followed behind them.
With the two bosses setting the tone for the evening, everyone knew things would go very smoothly tonight.
And indeed it was so. At the dinner table, Director Cao was extremely friendly, and in response to Chen Yan's proposal to buy shares in Weibo, he agreed without hesitation.
Holding his wine glass, with a smile he said, "Brother Chen, your achievements in Qindong and Tiandu over the years are well known to everyone."
"If you're willing to buy in, of course I am willing."
"In this case, let's have dinner tonight, and tomorrow I'll go to the company, notify the other major shareholders, and then discuss the specific details."
Seeing how agreeable Director Cao of Jiu Lang was, Chen Yan was a bit bewildered.
Was it really that simple?
He didn't even need to use the Strong Buy Card to achieve his goal?
