Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 What is our relationship?

Damn it, what kind of fateful disaster is this?

How could Bo Tingshen be here? How long has he been here? The things she just said… he couldn’t have heard everything, could he?!

In cubicle C2, several industry CEOs looked at Ye Xian with shocked expressions as if they had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret.

Ye Xian felt as if she had foreseen her own death.

Li Jiahua seemed to notice nothing unusual, excitedly stood up and greeted Bo Tingshen, “President Bo, what a coincidence, you’re also dining here. I was just talking with Ye Xian about…”

“No! We weren’t talking about anything!”

Ye Xian loudly interrupted him, and Li Jiahua looked puzzled, “?”

Tingshen’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xian, unwavering, as if staring at an inanimate object, his tone was as flat as a calm water, “Let’s call it a day.”

“Okay.”

“Alright!”

Several CEOs seemed to sense the dangerous atmosphere in the air, like the tension before a storm, and bid their farewells more quickly than one another.

Watching their hasty retreat, Li Jiahua also realized something wasn’t quite right.

Could it be because… the nature of Ye Xian’s and President Bo’s relationship was exposed?

“You go back and wait for my call.”

Just as he hesitated over whether he should also make a swift exit, Bo Tingshen’s voice, cold and clear, rang out.

Li Jiahua nodded again and again, “Okay, okay, for sure! Ye Xian, I’ll be leaving now. As for your joining the group, after President Bo calls me, I will inform you…”

“Ah? Why?” Ye Xian hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, “No, Director Li, hadn’t we just settled everything? Why do we still have to wait for President Bo’s call?”

Li Jiahua ruthlessly pulled his sleeve out of her grasp, “That’s settled then, there’s something else I need to attend to in my group…”

Li Jiahua smiled perfunctorily, grabbed his bag, and left. Ye Xian also wanted to take the chance to escape this embarrassing situation that made her want to smash her head on a block of tofu.

But just as she took a step, she was called back.

“Come here.”

The man’s voice was cold and clear, like a winter breeze that could sever nerves.

Ye Xian’s body shivered, and pretending not to hear, she continued walking.

“I can call Director Li right now.”

At that, Ye Xian’s footsteps halted abruptly.

Like a machine rewinding, the little woman retraced her steps one by one until she slowly turned around, her head buried low like a quail, “Don’t…”

The waitresses in kimonos exited the cubicle, politely closing the door behind them.

Bo Tingshen looked at Ye Xian, whose head was almost buried in the ground, a layer of frost covering his eyes, “What did you just say our relationship was?”

“No, there’s no relationship…”

“Oh?”

“I’m sorry!” Ye Xian suddenly gave him a ninety-degree bow, “CEO, I really didn’t intend to fabricate stories about you, it’s just that I wanted that resource so badly, but CEO…”

She clenched her teeth, then lifted her head, “As my boss, not only do you not provide resources, but how can you purposely ruin my opportunity? How is that any different than what Yan Dong does?”

“Did I say I wouldn’t give it to you?”

“Hmm?”

Hope flickered in Ye Xian’s eyes, his meaning was that he would give…

No, that wasn’t right. Ye Xian remembered the condition for him providing the resource was for her to wear a set of provocative lingerie and to take a photo for him.

“But CEO, your demand is too excessive, I can’t do it!”

With that, the atmosphere in the cubicle fell silent for a couple of seconds.

Just as Ye Xian was wondering if her tone had been too inflexible, contemplating if she should soften her words to appease the big shot, she heard the big shot’s calm voice, “Sit.”
