Chapter 239 The Chairman's 'Infatuation'

"It was given to me personally by your brand's founder," Yan Changye said calmly. "It was just delivered to me this afternoon."

Upon hearing that he was the brand's founder, the shop assistant didn't dare to be perfunctory and respectfully said, "Please wait a moment while I call to verify."

Two minutes later, the shop assistant politely accepted the discount card: "Thank you for your patronage. This is indeed a 0-yuan purchase personally signed by our boss. We appreciate your trust in our store. Is there anything else you need? We'll pack it up for you."

Yan Changye said calmly, "No need, just pack up those clothes."

As they left the store, Jiang Manman looked at Yan Changye speechlessly: "The '0 yuan purchase' you mentioned, you mean getting the brand's founder, Alibaba, to send you a free gift card?"

"Of course, it's not a free gift. I'll waive their rent for a month later." Yan Changye looked at the matching outfits he and Jiang Manman were wearing, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Jiang Manman was wearing a knee-length skirt, made of a loose and comfortable material, in a bright light purple color. Paired with her high ponytail, she looked youthful, beautiful, and incredibly well-behaved.

Yan Changye was wearing a matching couple's T-shirt. He rarely wore such casual T-shirts, but his fair complexion, delicate features, and youthful outfit made him look like a young man and woman just entering society when he stood next to Jiang Manman.

"Now that's more like a romantic relationship." Yan Changye smiled, but he had no interest in continuing to shop. He pulled Jiang Manman to a relatively dark corner, pinned her against the wall, and couldn't help but lean down to kiss her.

Not far away, Yan Changye's cronies, Chen Jinzhou, were strolling around with the second young master of the Li family, preparing to enter the bar next door.

Chen Jinzhou glanced casually around the corner and saw... an acquaintance embracing a girl passionately.

From his perspective, he couldn't see Jiang Manman clearly, but he could see Yan Changye perfectly.

The man, dressed in matching outfits with the girl, pinned her against the wall, kissing and biting her, practically begging to tear off her clothes in the street...

Immersed in his own world, Yan Changye was unaware that he was being watched.

He quickly grew tired of a simple kiss, pulled Jiang Manman back into his arms, and decisively said, "Baby, let's go back to your apartment."

The BMW X7, barely touching the speed limit, drove towards Jiang Manman's small apartment.

Behind him, Chen Jinzhou had no interest in going to the bar anymore. He drove and followed Yan Changye all the way until he confirmed that Yan Changye was not going to No. 1 Mansion, but in the completely opposite direction. Only then did he dejectedly stop following him.

He sat in his car, his expression complicated, and dialed a number on the landline of No. 1 Residence.

When the butler recognized him, he was very polite: "Young Master Chen, what can I do for you?"

"Yan Gou, cough cough, Yan Changye, have you been coming home often lately?"

"The chairman is very busy. He did come back before, but starting tonight, he will probably be staying out for a while."

Chen Jinzhou hung up the phone in frustration.

Then, he opened his contacts, pulled up Jiang Manman's contact information and looked at it for a while, but ultimately didn't call.

He tried calling Yan Changye, but the phone was switched off.

The next day, in the chairman's office, a beaming Yan Changye held a bouquet of delicate roses and instructed the secretary:
"Who knows how to grow flowers? Let's set up a flower-growing area in my office."

The chief secretary raised her hand tremblingly: "Boss, I know a little. This rose of yours..."

"My girlfriend gave me these this morning. She'll probably give me these every day from now on. I need to take good care of them." Yan Changye personally carried the roses back to his office, placed them on his desk, and then pointed to the lounge in the office, "Also, tidy up the lounge. It should be in a traditional Chinese style."

Chief Secretary: "..."

Are they starting to openly and brazenly enter the inner sanctum?
That noon, Jiang Manman appeared downstairs at the Yanjing Group building with her lunchbox.

Shen Zongqian personally went to pick her up. Jiang Manman was also wearing a matching outfit with Yan Changye today, and was wearing a mask, only revealing her large almond-shaped eyes.

"Madam, the boss set up a flower-growing area in the office early this morning, saying he wants to grow the flowers you send every day. May I ask how long you plan to send the flowers? I'm worried that the office won't have enough space."

As Shen Zongqian spoke, he glanced at the lunchbox in Jiang Manman's hand and hinted, "The BOSS specifically instructed us to stop giving him coffee and afternoon tea today."

Jiang Manman paused, sighed softly, lowered her head, opened her food delivery app, and ordered a cup of milk tea: "Go pick this up later, my second milk tea of ​​autumn."

After saying that, he answered Shen Zongqian's previous question: "Don't worry, he'll only be in office for twenty days."

Shen Zongqian silently breathed a sigh of relief. Putting everything else aside, the gossip surrounding their relationship had already distracted a large group of people in the secretarial office from their work, leaving them only interested in reading the juicy gossip, resulting in unprecedentedly low work efficiency.

This wasn't Jiang Manman's first visit to Yanjing Group.

However, due to the change in her clothing style and hairstyle, coupled with the fact that she was wearing a mask the whole time, no one connected her with Yan Changye's beloved wife along the way.

The matching couple outfits she wore with Yan Changye automatically drew her into the world of a powerful and influential 'chairman's infatuation'.

As soon as Yan Changye stepped onto the floor where he was, he was met with constant, subtle glances from those around him.

Shen Zongqian pushed open the door to the chairman's office: "Please come in."

As soon as Jiang Manman went in, Shen Zongqian immediately closed the door. Even so, the scene of this 'infatuated' woman being hugged and put on the BOSS's lap as soon as she entered was still noticed by many onlookers in the secretary's office who were already focused on the door. As a result, no one in the secretary's office, who were supposed to take a lunch break, was able to take a nap today.

Two hours later, Jiang Manman came out of the chairman's office again and once again felt a barrage of subtle gazes from the secretaries' office.

She thought for a moment and whispered to Shen Zongqian, "There's no need to hide it from the people in the secretariat. After all, I've been coming here every day recently. If they misunderstand, it won't be good for Yan Changye's image."

Shen Zongqian nodded: "Understood, Madam."

After personally seeing Jiang Manman off, Shen Zongqian went upstairs again. There were already quite a few people in the secretary's office peering out the window, watching the ant-like flow of people outside, unable to tell whether they felt regret or sighed with remorse.

Shen Zongqian knocked on the doorframe of the secretary's office:

"That lady just now wasn't some mistress or concubine; she's our chairman's wife."

"Of course it has to be the Chairman's wife, it absolutely has to be the Chairman's wife!" The chief secretary, representing the secretariat, stated confidently, "Vice President Shen, rest assured, we understand, and we will not reveal a single word to outsiders."

Shen Zongqian looked at the group of people and laughed angrily: "You all understand? I don't think any of you understand."

In the afternoon, Yan Changye still left work right on time, not wanting to stay a minute longer.

Chen Jinzhou organized a gathering at the Chang'an Club and made over a dozen persistent phone calls. Yan Changye, thoroughly annoyed, finally answered:

"What?"

"Brother Yan, come over! I have something very important to tell you, but it's not convenient to say it over the phone."

"I'm busy," Yan Changye replied slowly. "I have a date tonight."

There was a pause on the other end: "It'll only take you half an hour. Brother Yan, please do me a favor, it's really important."

Yan Changye glanced at his watch and gave an impatient sneer: "You'd better really have something to say."

　The plot might be a bit boring, but it will end after a few sweet chapters and a few extras.
