Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

After Lin Yiming and Lin Yiwan returned to their respective homes, Chu Yu went back to his room and took a comfortable hot bath. It was almost eleven o'clock when he went to bed.

I was planning to go straight to sleep, but then I turned on my phone again. Mingxi had sent him a lot of messages today.

Because he was busy, Chu Yu only glanced at it and didn't open it to see. Now, looking at what he had posted, even without a reply, the number in the red bubble in the upper right corner of his profile picture was 36!

Mingxi: Brother Chu, Brother Chu, what are you doing? *(^o^)/*

Mingxi: I have an audition for a film crew today, I hope I pass.

Mingxi: I almost missed my train because of traffic, but luckily I made it in time.

Mingxi: Brother Chu, I think I'll definitely get the role. All the other guys competing with me for the part are so ugly!

Mingxi: "Photographs"

Mingxi: Today's lunch, or you could say afternoon tea, was a tough steak, but when you're hungry, everything tastes delicious.

Mingxi: "Photographs"

Mingxi: I'm home. My own bed is still the most comfortable.

....

Mingxi: Brother Chu, are you very busy?

Mingxi: When you're done with your work and have some time, could you please talk to me? (ෆ ͒•∘̬• ͒)◞

Looking at the message he sent, Chu Yu pictured Mingxi with her pretty little face tilted up, snuggling up to him and talking to him.

A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. He didn't dislike Mingxi's "harassment," and in fact, he had a pretty good impression of Mingxi.

His looks and figure suited him perfectly; although she was a bit thin, it didn't bother him.

Chu Yu originally planned to wait a while until he had sorted out his current matters before contacting him, but since Mingxi was so proactive and ambitious, it wouldn't hurt for him to take some time to spend with him.

He was thinking about how he would have a meeting with several companies responsible for market research and brand logo design tomorrow morning, and a meeting with the company's new employees in the afternoon.

I had some time in the evening, so I replied.

Chu Yu: I've been quite busy today and haven't been able to reply to your messages. I'm sorry.

Mingxi replied almost instantly.

Mingxi: It's okay, Brother Chu.

Mingxi: It's my fault. I know you're busy, but I still kept sending you messages.

Mingxi: But I really miss you, I really want to see you (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Chu Yu: Are you free tomorrow night? I'd like to treat you to dinner.

Mingxi: Yes, there are.

Mingxi: What are we going to eat?

Chu Yu: I'll listen to you. Eat whatever you like.

Mingxi: Brother Chu, you're so kind (*´▽｀*)

......

The next morning, while Chu Yu and several other companies held a meeting, Lin Chuan and his colleagues completed their handover and resignation procedures with exceptional efficiency.

As a large conglomerate, Shenghong has procedures for everything, although sometimes too many procedures can lead to low efficiency.

However, one of the great advantages of this process is that the company can function even if someone is missing. The work that one person is responsible for can be quickly handed over to another person without affecting the company's operations at all.

Since a suitable company location had not yet been found, Chu Yu and several employees decided to hold their first formal meeting in a private room at a coffee shop.

Everyone was holding pens and notebooks, ready to take notes at any time, and their expressions were quite serious.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Hello everyone, today is the first formal meeting of 'Qianwei'. I won't waste your time with too many formalities and empty words."

"Next, I will go straight to the company's vision, initial plans, and your job responsibilities."

A round of applause rang out.

After the applause subsided, Chu Yu continued, "As everyone knows, Qianwei is in the food and beverage industry. Our corporate vision is to become an innovation beacon in the global food and beverage sector, reshaping consumers' experience and perception of food and beverage."

"In the next phase, our top priority is to create a Western fast food brand that combines Chinese characteristics, opening our first store in Beijing, then the second, the third, the hundredth, the thousandth, and the ten thousandth."

Another round of applause rang out. Ten thousand stores—it's easier said than done.

But for some reason, the fact that Chu Yu said those words made everyone present feel that the matter could be accomplished.

Chu Yu was very satisfied with their reaction. A very important aspect of starting a business is belief. If you don't even believe in yourself, how can you succeed?

"I've tried all the fast food brands on the market, big and small, and to be honest, the taste is really just average. So all the products we sell have their own recipes and are produced by our own food processing plants. The taste and quality are far superior to all the fast food brands on the market."

"Therefore, the work ahead is mainly divided into two parts: one is the selection and leasing of the site for opening a food factory, the handling of qualifications and licenses, decoration, procurement of equipment and instruments, procurement of raw materials, recruitment of personnel, and research and development and confirmation of the flavor of store products."

"Secondly, regarding the 'Burger King' brand trademark, the confirmation of the brand concept, the selection of the first store location, decoration, staff recruitment and training, and marketing strategies before and after opening."

"Lin Chuan, your position is my special assistant. You will assist me in managing and handling all matters related to the company."

Lin Chuan immediately stood up, looked at Chu Yu with a serious expression, and said solemnly, "President Chu, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will do my best to assist you in handling all kinds of matters, doing my best to be meticulous, timely and efficient, and follow you to achieve our Qianwei corporate vision."

Chu Yu stood up, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I believe you can do it well, sit down."

"Okay, let's continue. Ye Lan and Yu Tong's positions are accountant and cashier, respectively. Fang Hua is in charge of purchasing, Du Tianlei and Yu Youshan are in charge of administration, and Huang Xinci is in charge of human resources..."

……

"Professionals should do professional things. If we want to carry out the above tasks, the eight of us are far from enough. So after this meeting, I will give each of you three days to carefully consider the work plan for your position, the direction of development, and the personnel recruitment needs, and submit a report to me."

"Understood, Mr. Chu."

"No problem, Mr. Chu."

"Okay, Mr. Chu."

....

"That concludes today's meeting. We have many urgent and important tasks ahead, and I believe everyone can quickly get into their roles, clarify all matters, and work together to get the company running smoothly."

……

The meeting ended after 5 p.m., and Chu Yu set off to pick him up from his company according to the address sent by Ming Xi.

At this moment, Mingxi was sitting in front of the makeup mirror in the lounge, touching up her makeup while humming a little tune. She looked to be in a great mood, completely different from yesterday.

Mingxi's assistant, Cheng Yao, approached him suspiciously. "Xixi, did you win the lottery?! You're so happy! Usually, after Wang Ge's lecture at a meeting, you'd be yelling for at least twenty minutes. Did you really win the lottery?!"

The more Cheng Yao spoke, the more convinced she felt she had come to the truth. She grabbed Mingxi's arm and shook it, "Xixi, you can't forget your poor little assistant! We have to share the good life, treat me to dinner!"

"Silly girl! What lottery? It's all nonsense." Mingxi rolled her eyes at her, then chuckled, "I have a date later."

"What?! A date?"

"Big sister, I'm just going on a date, why are you so surprised? With my natural beauty, it would be strange if no one asked me out."

Cheng Yao thought to herself that although Mingxi always grumbled about finding some tall, rich, and handsome guy, she had never actually seen him go on a date with anyone.

Curious, she asked, "Xixi, are you in the industry? Which celebrity? Director? Producer? Or perhaps a young master, boss, or executive? How did you two meet?"

Mingxi looked at her speechlessly, "Cheng Yao, you shouldn't be my assistant, you should be a paparazzi, you're too gossipy!"

"Tell me quickly~ I'm so curious..." Before Cheng Yao could finish speaking, she saw Ming Xi glance at her phone, then happily pick up her bag and walk out.

"I'll tell you all about it later. Brother Chu is here to pick me up. Bye!"

Watching Mingxi run away, Cheng Yao felt even more curious and really wanted to catch up and see what the man who picked up Mingxi looked like.

But that seemed impolite. Then it occurred to me that the window of one of their company's conference rooms faced the main entrance of the building.

Cheng Yao quickly ran to the conference room, opened the window and looked down, but didn't see any men.

But then I saw a silver and black two-tone Ferrari parked downstairs, which looked very expensive.

A moment later, Mingxi got into that car! Good heavens, she's really hooked up with him this time?!
