The second update! Beneath him, Dong Shi Guo bowed his head, a trace of murderous intent flickering in his eyes. Today, after having been humiliated at the board meeting, he swore he would get his revenge twofold. Ye Chenfeng had made it onto his blacklist. "And the rest of you, any more objections?" Ye Chenfeng asked again. "We all support President Chu, we follow President Chu’s lead unquestioningly!" These directors were like weeds in the wind, raising their hands and shouting one by one, they were almost ready to come up with slogans to chant. "Alright, my task here is done, I’m going back to sleep! Call me when the meeting is adjourned, I haven’t even had breakfast yet!" Ye Chenfeng dropped this line and made his way to a corner of the room, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and closed his eyes to rest. Soon after, faint snoring sounds could be heard. The crowd: "...". However, Ye Chenfeng also piqued everyone’s curiosity, even Chu Xiuen and his son, who had interacted with Ye Chenfeng many times, couldn’t help but re-evaluate Ye Chenfeng with renewed interest. "Squeak!" Not a few minutes later, the door to the meeting room opened, and in came Chu Qingxue with a faint smile, as if she was holding a trump card in her hand. Indeed, she had in her possession a trump card that could dominate the board meeting. "Hmm?" But then she picked up an unusual scent, silence, it was too silent in the meeting room. Logically, the room should have been buzzing with discussions at this time, but the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Looking at everyone’s faces, each person wore an indescribably strange expression, especially Chu Xuanyu, Chu Xiuen, and Dong Shi Guo whose faces were the most unsightly, particularly Dong Shi Guo, with his hair and clothes in disarray as if he had been in a fight. "Uncle Dong, what happened to you?" Chu Qingxue couldn’t hold back the doubt in her heart and asked out loud. "President Chu, I..." While speaking, Dong Shi Guo glanced at Ye Chenfeng, who was "sound asleep" in the corner, with a shiver of fear. This glance nearly gave Dong Shi Guo a heart attack. God damn it, Ye Chenfeng, who had been snoring up a storm just moments ago, had for some reason already opened his eyes and was blinking them, looking at himself with apparent interest. Immediately, Dong Shi Guo changed his tune, "President Chu, I’ve just discussed with the other directors, and we absolutely and unconditionally support your proposal to bid for the resort!" "Yes, President Chu, we support you!" "We believe you can lead the Chu Family to soar to new heights with the Number One Resort! The company will reach a new level!" ...NovelFire These directors couldn’t get any more insincere, having fiercely opposed just moments ago. Yet now, they were racking their brains for flattering words to show support for Chu Qingxue. Their quick turnaround stunned Chu Qingxue as well, was the sun rising from the west? These conservatives were actually unanimously supporting her! "Yes, President Chu, we support your plan! Go ahead and do it with our blessing!" Even Chu Xiuen agreed to support Chu Qingxue, although his face still looked dark. Despite being bewildered, Chu Qingxue knew this was not the time to dwell on it, so she smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to start a vote within the board, but since everyone agrees, it seems there’s no need!"NovelFire "Yes, no need!" "Okay, that’s settled then, the Chu Family will go all in on the bidding conference for Jiangnan’s premier resort. I hereby announce that the main person responsible for the bidding will be Dong Zheng..." Next, Chu Qingxue announced the details of the bidding conference, and those opposing directors felt so uncomfortable listening, but they had to listen! Chu Qingxue’s smile gradually brightened, holding the ace in her hand she hadn’t even played yet and she felt like she was dreaming. "Congratulations, President Chu, this board meeting has been the most successful one you’ve conducted since taking office!" After the meeting, Qiu Muran was the first to come forward and offer her congratulations. Chu Qingxue had a bright smile hanging on her lips, "To think there wasn’t a single opposing vote, it went so smoothly I can hardly believe it!" "This time President Chu, you can relax and throw yourself into the task, the bidding conference will surely be a success!" Even the cold beauty Gu Jundie had a smile on her face, her smile was so striking that it seemed as if the whole world had brightened up. Chu Qingxue’s gaze swept over, and suddenly it landed on Ye Chenfeng, who was sleeping in the corner. Her brows furrowed slightly, "Gu Jundie, wake him up!" A surge of annoyance rose within Chu Qingxue without reason; she had suffered enough humiliation in the first half of today’s meeting, people were even suggesting she resign. At that time, Chu Qingxue truly hoped for a shoulder to lean on! What a pity that someone like Ye Chenfeng, a man incapable of helping, was not only useless in such a situation but had the audacity to sleep leaning against the wall. "Ah? Is it time to eat? I’ll have a serving of spicy hot pot, insanely spicy, extra Szechuan peppercorns, less sweet and sour sauce!" Ye Chenfeng, aroused by Gu Jundie from the corner, called out with drool streaming from his mouth. "Ah..." Chu Qingxue’s opinion of him just got worse; his state was too unbearable to witness. Gu Jundie found it a bit funny, he realized Ye Chenfeng was quite humorous, completely different from his previously domineering demeanor. "President Chu, don’t you want to know why this board meeting went so smoothly?" Qiu Muran whispered into Chu Qingxue’s ear, Chu Qingxue was startled, as if she thought of something, and couldn’t help saying, "It couldn’t be related to Ye Chenfeng, could it?" Qiu Muran nodded, "President Chu, you guessed it right, it’s related to Ye Chenfeng!" "Ah? Really? What exactly happened?" Chu Qingxue was filled with curiosity. Qiu Muran then gave her the full account, leaving Chu Qingxue in a state of shock. "Are you saying that Ye Chenfeng used violence to tame these tough characters? And even lifted Dong Shi Guo single-handedly?" Chu Qingxue asked, her heart racing. Dong Shi Guo was quite overweight, tipping the scales at over one hundred and fifty kilograms, yet was easily lifted by one hand by Ye Chenfeng. Chu Qingxue found it hard to believe that Ye Chenfeng was capable of doing such a thing? "That’s right, especially Dong Shi Guo, he looked like he was almost scared to death by Ye Chenfeng! Giggles!" Remembering the usually unstoppable Dong Shi Guo getting put in his place, Qiu Muran giggled unceasingly. Chu Qingxue was stunned, "It seems this guy is nothing but a brute!" During the meeting, she seemed to recall Dong Shi Guo glancing at Ye Chenfeng multiple times and then shuddering with fear, she hadn’t thought much of it then, but now it seemed he was frightened by Ye Chenfeng! "Ye Chenfeng!" With a smile on her lips, Chu Qingxue remembered the excited expressions of the villagers in Changsheng Village when they saw Ye Chenfeng leave. This guy did indeed have a knack for dealing with people, and unexpectedly came in handy today. Could it be that this man possessed charms she had failed to perceive? With such expert flirting skills, even a high-standard girl like his sister seemed interested in him. And Ouyang Qingcheng even had an inextricable link with him. This was the first time Chu Qingxue doubted her own judgment, and the first time she felt curiosity toward Ye Chenfeng. Love experts have drawn many conclusions, one of which is that when a woman begins to be curious about a man, it’s often the time she starts to fall for him.
