Chapter 98: Surprise Inspection
Liu Jinhua was stunned. He turned around and looked, only to find it was that guy Chen Tianlong.
"Sorry, he’s just a friend of the president. Having him follow along is pointless. We few are enough." Liu Jinhua was afraid this kid would mess things up, so he quickly gave him a meaningful look.
"What do you mean pointless? I specifically want him here. Being a friend of the president is even better. That way, when I ask questions later, it’ll be more genuine. Who knows if you insiders have already colluded to fool me?" Yang Yunxi said coldly.
"That..."
"Say no more. I want him, or else later I’ll suspect you all of tampering with this project inspection." Yang Yunxi interrupted Liu Jinhua forcefully.
"Alright." Facing such a strong-willed Yang Yunxi, Liu Jinhua had no choice and called to Chen Tianlong in the distance, "Hey, come over here. President Yang needs your company."
"Huh? Me?"
Chen Tianlong pointed at himself. Actually, he’d already heard the entire conversation just now.
Damn it. Can’t escape this time; I’m screwed. If I mess up, Lin Batian will surely chew me out.
"Yes, you." Yang Yunxi was very pleased inside but pretended they were strangers, speaking softly.
"Hurry up and come over, why are you dawdling!" Liu Jinhua gave Chen Tianlong a look, signaling him to cooperate.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, feeling a bit regretful. If he’d known, he would have gone upstairs directly instead of standing around watching. Now look, he’s been caught.
"Oh."
With no choice, Chen Tianlong walked over. Yang Yunxi, seeing him approach, feigned not knowing him, "Hey handsome, sorry to trouble you to accompany me."
Whoa!
What does this girl mean, pretending not to know me? It’s a scheme, definitely a scheme.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong kept thinking there was a problem.
At this point, everyone was surprised. Although Chen Tianlong was quite handsome, hearing "handsome" from Yang Yunxi’s mouth carried weight. Did she choose him because of his looks?
Liu Jinhua was furious, gritting his teeth. He never expected this brat to be so popular with women. First Lin Batian, now even Yang Yunxi—it’s truly infuriating.
Chen Tianlong came to the Lin Family on his first day, and Liu Jinhua had known it. He was always meticulously watching the Lin Family’s every move, keeping everything under his control.
"Kid, later when you speak, be respectful and don’t babble. You know this is the Aimei Group’s general agent in Huaxia. If anything goes wrong, you’re at fault!" Liu Jinhua warned, trying to scare him.
Otherwise, if this guy blabbered later and angered Yang Yunxi, it would be all over.
Most importantly, Li Jinhua posed like a leader, intending to impress Yang Yunxi and show Chen Tianlong that he was mingling with elite people beyond his reach.
Seeing Liu Jinhua’s boasting manner, Chen Tianlong gave a faint smile, treating his words like wind by his ears, and went directly to Yang Yunxi, pretending not to know her: "President Yang, please."
Yang Yunxi smiled sweetly: "Um, don’t be nervous. Feel free to chat."
At this moment, her bright and beautiful eyes squinted slightly into a line, revealing two shallow little dimples on her face, looking incredibly cute and charming.
Everyone was captivated by this scene; she was indeed a stunner!
Nobody expected such a noble president to smile sincerely at a young guy like this, without any airs.
Seeing this, Liu Jinhua’s hands clenched into fists. That Chen Tianlong ignoring him was one thing, but even Yang Yunxi treated him with such respect, which was truly maddening.
"Ahem, I’m not nervous." Chen Tianlong caught on this time, deliberately coughing twice, musing about Yang Yunxi’s true intentions, speaking so sweetly like she was acting coquettish—it made him somewhat anxious.
With his words barely finished, Yang Yunxi stepped forward and pulled Chen Tianlong to her side as they walked toward the elevator. She continually shot glances at Chen Tianlong, causing him to swallow nervously, wondering what this girl was up to.
Once everyone was in the elevator, Yang Yunxi whispered, "So, you work here? Hehe, didn’t expect to catch you here; you got away last time!"
"Oh, I had something urgent that day. Please don’t hold it against me," Chen Tianlong put on a pitiful look, nearly making Yang Yunxi chuckle.
Yang Yunxi was embarrassed. She had suspected he thought she came to retaliate, so she pouted and said casually, "Do you think I’m that petty? A good woman doesn’t fight with men. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you; I just want to chat with you."
Whoa!
When Chen Tianlong heard this, he thought he misheard. A high-level president beauty wanting to chat with him—was this a joke?
"Also, why would I harm you? Don’t think I didn’t notice the other day; you’re quite the hidden expert, taking out those two thugs effortlessly. So cool!" Yang Yunxi said with a bit of infatuation.
For a moment, Chen Tianlong was speechless.
Beside them, Liu Jinhua saw the two chatting happily, seemingly as if they were acquainted. This imbalance made him feel very uneasy and his expression turned extremely grim.
"President Liu, what are those two doing? Are they speaking privately? Could this guy be secretly leaking information to harm our company?" Liang Chao whispered near Liu Jinhua’s ear.
But just after speaking, he saw Liu Jinhua’s bloodshot eyes glaring at him, making Liang Chao immediately stop talking, shivering and lowering his head, not daring to make a sound.
Anyone could tell Yang Yunxi and Chen Tianlong were having a great chat, leaving everyone feeling downcast. Such a high-level task fell to this guy?
"Once the project inspection is over, have Chen Tianlong report to me immediately," Liu Jinhua said coldly.
"Understood!" Liang Chao nodded repeatedly, fearing Liu Jinhua’s anger further.
As soon as Yang Yunxi exited the elevator, many employees looked at her in surprise, learning she was the head of Aimei Group’s Huaxia region. They couldn’t help but praise, "Wow, so enviable, beautiful and capable!"
At this moment, many handsome guys and pretty girls thought about approaching Yang Yunxi for an autograph, extremely excited. Seeing this, Chen Tianlong walked forward, using his strong arm to part the crowd, and then led Yang Yunxi ahead.
