Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful-Chapter 377 - Eight-pack abs (1)

Chapter 377: Eight-pack abs (1)

Zhao Youlin unconcernedly met Nie Yunfan’s slightly icy gaze with a smile on her face.

A hint of ambiguous light crossed Nie Yunfan’s eyes, but the gentle smile returned to his face in just a second. He changed the subject and said, “Speaking of which, who is this Yue Yue, you and Manager Zhao were talking about? From what I heard, it sounds like she is…”

Han Yichen’s eyes flickered slightly and he answered his question in an incredibly blunt manner. “My future wife.”

Nie Yunfan was just guessing, but he did not expect that Han Yichen would admit it to it in such a straightforward manner. He was stunned for quite some time.

After he recovered himself, he was directly clamped down on Han Yichen’s shoulders from behind. He said with grief, “Chen, I had really misjudged you before! How could you not tell me you had a girlfriend? Do you still see me as a friend? We have been friends for so many years, does that mean nothing to you? How could you hide it from me that you have a girlfriend? I was just wondering why you became so interested in the company’s affairs all of a sudden. You even ‘abased’ yourself and took the initiative to come personally to negotiate the contract, dragging me together with you. You obviously have another agenda!”

“You have had so many girlfriends and I did not see you telling me once. You don’t want to be friends anymore?” Han Yichen smiled coldly. “That’s just what I want. Let’s break up our partnership. You can take the company. You will be the president from now on.”

“No, no, no!” Nie Yunfan was shocked upon hearing that. He took a few steps back stiffly. He kept waving his hands and said, “I was just kidding, just kidding! You know it well that Sheng Huang needs you. If you just leave everything behind, I would not be able to handle it! I am still so young, I do not want to get old before my time!”

Looking at them joking around with each other, a complicated expression surfaced on Zhao Youlin’s face. “President Han and Manager Nie, looks like you two…are really close.”

Nie Yunfan and Han Yichen stunned together. After gaping at each other for a while, Nie Yunfan put his arm back on Han Yichen’s shoulder. He chuckled and said, “This guy and I have been roommates in high school for three years, and roommates again in the university for four years. We became colleagues after we came out and worked. This is quite a fate, don’t you think?”

Han Yichen coldly swept a glance at Nie Yunfan’s hand on his shoulder and said expressionlessly, “Terrible fate.”

Nie Yunfan was speechless.

The corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched. She did not say anything more. After chatting briefly with the two about the contract, Han Yichen, Nie Yunfan and Xiao Jingyao took their leave first.

After sending them off, the news that the president and the general manager of Sheng Huang Group had come personally to negotiate the contract with the general manager started spreading around the company.

It did not take long for the company directors who were waiting in the office for Zhao Youlin’s return to hear the news.

For a while, the atmosphere inside the conference room was unusually depressing, and many people’s expressions showed that they had begun to doubt themselves.

Zhao Youming took everything in. He knew that it was going to be a disaster for him, yet he could not do anything about it.

Just as expected, after Zhao Youlin reappeared to continue the meeting, the directors’ attitude toward her proposal changed significantly.

Even when the final decision was made and when the voting began, almost all of the directors had chosen to support Zhao Youlin.

Such was the cruelty of the business industry. No one would be enemies forever, let alone friends forever, profit was the only thing that would always come first.

If one said that the contract with Ye Group that Zhao Youlin threw at them was just a small bait to lure others, then the appearance of Han Yichen and Nie Yunfan undoubtedly had a strong driving force that directly pushed everyone to Zhao Youlin’s side.

Maybe most people did not know who Han Yichen was at all, but they definitely had heard of Sheng Huang Group and Sheng Huang’s general manager Nie Yunfan!

Although Nie Yunfan had left the Nie Group for many years, he was still the future heir of the Nie family.

Nie Yunfan and Sheng Huang’s president had come directly to talk to Zhao Youlin instead of Zhao Shunrong, and that fully explained their attitude. These two people only came for the sake of Zhao Youlin!

The Ye family and the Nie family, the two main business families among the four most powerful families, only three words could describe them all – rich as hell.

But that was not the most important point, the most important point was that the four most powerful families had always been like birds of a feather. The Ye family was close to the Ling family, while the Nie family was close to the Song family.

And Zhao Youlin had so easily gathered the power of two families that should have had a slightly confrontational relationship and gotten their support.

In such a situation, how could those who were sided with Zhao Youming because of profits not re-examine Zhao Youlin’s position in Zhao Enterprise?

Money was important, but if they offended Zhao Youlin and the big shots behind her because of this, they would have been penny wise and pound foolish, it was not worth the loss.

Zhao Youlin was quite satisfied with this result, in fact, if there was no Han Yichen’s appearance, she also planned to bring up Mu Tingfeng to save the day.

Although that guy Mu Tingfeng was not good in all kinds of ways, the mention of his name could still bluff people. But now since the purpose had been achieved, she no longer had to play this last card of hers.

When she walked out of the conference room, it was as if the universe was trying to verify the saying that enemies often ran into each other easily, Zhao Youlin ran into Zhao Youming again.

Compared to a few days ago, Zhao Youming at that moment looked much more distressed. His face was pale, even the gentle smile that was always seen on his face had looked a little like it had been forced out, and people could not help but feel a little pitiful of him.

“General Manager, congratulations…”

Zhao Youlin smiled unconcernedly and patted Zhao Youming’s shoulder like a loving elder. “Chief Zhao, you have just joined the company for a short time, it is good to have ambition, but apart from ambition, young people should know how to act according to their capability. Chief Zhao, you are still so young, there is still a long road ahead of you. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. I believe that with this experience, the next time you will be able to make a more thoughtful and amazing proposal, Chief Zhao.”

Zhao Youlin’s words might seem to be well-intentioned, encouraging her juniors to keep up the good work and not to get bent out of shape and depressed because of one setback.

But the truth was she was mocking Zhao Youming for overestimating his own capabilities. She was also implying to Zhao Youming that he could try to make trouble again, but it would not greatly affect her and she did not care at all.

Zhao Youming naturally heard the hidden message in Zhao Youlin’s words. His hands, which were hanging at his side, were clenched tightly. He tried his best to maintain the calmness on his face. He lowered his head and said humbly, “I understand. I will definitely live up to your high expectations, General Manager.”

Hearing Zhao Youming saying that through gritted teeth, the corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips raised slightly. “Then I shall look forward to it.”

After sending off Zhao Youming along with those flip-floppers who came back to her and tried to suck up to her after the meeting, Zhao Youlin was in a happy mood and ready to go home, but when she turned her head, she was confronted with her own secretary, whose face full of condemnation.

Zhao Youlin’s eyebrows trembled and she asked tentatively, “Li, what is wrong?”
