Chapter 244: So You're This Kind of CEO

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong: Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Leng Ruoli bit her lower lip. She was torn.

Yu Qianxia looked at Leng Ruoli. "What's your choice? You go, or he goes?"

Leng Ruoli hesitated for just three seconds before the answer immediately tumbled out of her mouth. "He goes."

"Oh, so decisive. You're sure?" Yu Qianxia asked.

"Yes." Leng Ruoli took a deep breath and answered Yu Qianxia.

"So he's going alone, without you. Won't you regret that?" Yu Qianxia frowned.

Leng Ruoli smiled bitterly. "There's nothing I can do about that. There's only one ticket left, after all. He likes you, so I want him to be happy. As long as he's happy, I'll be happy even if I don't go."

Hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Yu Qianxia smiled warmly. "Your boyfriend's really lucky to have a girlfriend like you."

Leng Ruoli's little face flushed red. "Meeting him is the greatest luck of my life."

If not for her, she'd still be in hell, destroying herself.

The one who had saved her was him.

"Alright, then I'll give you two."

Hearing Yu Qianxia's words, Leng Ruoli was astonished. "Didn't you say you didn't have any left?"

"I was moved by your sincerity, so I had to think of a way." Yu Qianxia spoke playfully. "Originally, one of the tickets was for my manager. I figure he can just stand."

Yu Qianxia just wanted to mess with her manager a bit. He'd squeezed her too hard before—restricting her from doing all sorts of things—so she definitely had to get a little "revenge."

Hearing Yu Qianxia's words, Leng Ruoli's eyes went bright, but she felt a bit embarrassed. "Isn't it a bit mean to make your manager stand?"

"A single dog like him sitting there eating dog food isn't great either. Worst case, he can sit on an apple box backstage. Let me tell you, he's listened to me sing during rehearsals so much his ears have calluses. He doesn't even want to hear it anymore." Yu Qianxia began to roast her manager.

Of course, despite all the ribbing, Yu Qianxia and her manager were still close.

Otherwise, would she think of a backup plan for him, letting him sit on an apple box?

Hearing this, Leng Ruoli let out a light laugh. She could already picture the scene.

"That's great then." Leng Ruoli was in a wonderful mood.

"Remember to bring your boyfriend along. I want to see which guy got so lucky with you," Yu Qianxia teased.

Leng Ruoli's little face went very red, and she was a little surprised. "You don't know?"

"Should I? He's your boyfriend. I've never met him either." Yu Qianxia used to enjoy browsing the internet, but ever since she got pregnant, she was afraid the nasty comments would affect her, so she deleted Weibo.

"No." Leng Ruoli stopped agonizing over it. She promised Yu Qianxia, "Alright, I'll bring him to see you. I hope you can work with him then. Oh, right—he really wants a signed copy of yours, but it's out of print now. Could you sign one for me?"

"Sure, should have no problem." Yu Qianxia agreed cheerfully.

She told her manager to go fetch the albums from the warehouse.

After Yu Qianxia signed the album with a flourish, she handed it to Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli clutched it to her chest in satisfaction.

Then she thought of something and asked, "Can I make a shameless request?"

"What is it?"

"Could you sing 'Stars to the South' at the concert?" Leng Ruoli asked eagerly.

Yu Qianxia raised her red lips and shook her head at Leng Ruoli. "Probably not. I can't agree to that."

"Why?"

"I can't say…" Yu Qianxia answered mysteriously. "I can sing anything else, but I can't sing 'Stars to the South.'"

Leng Ruoli felt very disappointed. She was still trying to persuade Yu Qianxia. "But my boyfriend really loves 'Stars to the South,' and now it's become a farewell song. If you don't sing it at the concert, I'm afraid he'll never hear it again."

Yu Qianxia's brows knitted tight. Looking at Leng Ruoli's hopeful eyes, she said deeply, "I don't like being guilt-tripped. Sorry, I can't sing it."

Leng Ruoli bit her lower lip. She couldn't hide her disappointment.

Yu Qianxia was clearly set on this and unwilling. If she forced it, a forced melon wouldn't be sweet.

Leng Ruoli knew very well this task had to be planned for the long haul.

If it didn't work today, it would tomorrow.

"Alright then, I'll head out first." Leng Ruoli took the two tickets from Yu Qianxia's bodyguard.

Her little face was full of excitement again.

After all, these were tickets to Yu Qianxia's concert, which Jiang Muye loved—impossible to get. Jiang Muye would definitely be happy knowing he could go.

Leng Ruoli excitedly sent Jiang Muye a text.

At that moment, Jiang Muye was in the Jiang's Snacks office, grilling his subordinates.

"This bidding agent is obviously unreliable. Why didn't you review it before replying to them?"

"There's a big problem with the berry packaging this time. It has a very cheap plastic feel. You must give me the latest packaging design draft for my approval before it passes."

"Also, what's going on with the finance department this time? Why are salaries and startup funds delayed by a day? A company should have credibility. Employee salaries must be paid on time!"

Jiang Muye's hawk-sharp gaze fixed on the group before him, his aura in full force, his tongue sharp as a blade.

His reprimand was full of gunpowder, leaving his subordinates trembling.

They all knew Jiang Muye was about to skin them alive this time. Never mind that he was just a student—being able to sit in this position meant he definitely had the chops.

Of course, on their first day on the job, they'd witnessed Jiang Muye's thunderous efficiency.

Now that they'd made a mistake, Jiang Muye definitely wouldn't give them an easy time.

Docked pay was the least of it. There was a good chance he'd fire them outright.

Just as the subordinates were pulling long faces, preparing to face being fired, the dark-faced Jiang Muye heard a WeChat notification.

Jiang Muye glanced at his phone.

Wife: 【I'm downstairs at your company. Are you free? Let's eat together.】

His originally ice-cold face instantly turned warm as a spring breeze.

He sent a voice reply. "Sure, I'll be right down. Of course I'm free. Wait for me."

The subordinates were dumbfounded.

The savage Young Master Jiang from a moment ago was now this gentle?

His eyes were full of doting affection, and he actually couldn't help but smile.

As everyone stared in shock, Jiang Muye lifted his head.

Every one of them stood frozen like wooden chickens, not daring to defy Jiang Muye.

Who would dare provoke Jiang Muye now? That was someone who didn't want their job, who wanted to pack up and leave for good.

"I know the situation now. You're not to repeat these mistakes. Find a way to handle every problem I've raised. Hear me?" Jiang Muye's attitude was better than before by more than a little.

The subordinates didn't snap to their senses for a moment and just went "Ah?"

Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow. "Ah what? Didn't you hear me? Get to it."

"Good, good, good!" Each of them secretly rejoiced.

Jiang Muye's expression was way better than before now, gone from gloomy to clear. Most importantly, he hadn't pursued the matter much!

Was this the power of love!

Woo, every day they prayed for Young Master Lin's girlfriend to come~ They'd really dodged a bullet.

After thanking Leng Ruoli profusely in their hearts, Jiang Muye straightened his tie and hurried off to the appointment.

He met Leng Ruoli at the café downstairs.

And then something that shocked him beyond belief happened!!!
