Chapter 712: Not Going to the Wedding

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

Boss Cutie

He was at least a CEO now. His work was important, but so was his family.

He normally spent too much of his energy on work, which was why he had neglected his family's feelings.

Money could always be earned again, but he only had one Darling.

Since Jiang Muye could do well at his own job, why shouldn't he care a bit more about his Darling?

Through the crack in the door, Jiang Muye saw Leng Ruoli seriously looking at her cards. When that mischievous smile appeared on her face, even Jiang Muye's lips curled upward along with it.

"Alright," the secretary nodded.

It was her superior's wish, so she had to comply.

From what she could tell so far, President Xu was still quite easy to talk to, and probably wouldn't turn on the CEO over this. After all, the CEO still held a great deal of decision-making power.

After hanging up, Jiang Muye went to keep his Darling company.

But Jiang Muye had never imagined that postponing this business dinner would bring him trouble.

Inside the CEO's office.

"What?" President Xu's face was turning green. "He's not planning to meet me today? I had everything arranged, I even booked the restaurant myself, my business partners are all waiting, and he actually wants to postpone?"

The secretary said awkwardly, "That's how they replied to me for now."

"I'm willing to work with the Chen Clan as a favor to the Chen Clan. This really is a new official lighting three fires on taking office. Back when the old Chairman was still alive, he had to give me some face, and now he actually stands me up!" President Xu clenched his fist.

The secretary nodded and said tactfully, "But he's about to get married, so it's normal for him to be a bit busy. He also said he'll attend the dinner tomorrow…"

President Xu, however, quibbled, "How is that the same? So many people will be watching when I show up. I already put my word out that Jiang Muye would come, and now he won't. No matter what I say, everyone will think I'm just making excuses!"

He then glared at the secretary in displeasure. "Why do I get the feeling your arm is bending his way? Just who is your boss, me or him?"

Seeing President Xu's fierce look, the secretary immediately became frightened and恭敬: "You're my boss."

President Xu said unhappily, "Cancel today's banquet. If Jiang Muye isn't coming, what's the point of me holding this banquet!"

"Alright…" Cold sweat had broken out on the female secretary. She then handed President Xu the wedding candy and wedding invitation that Jiang Muye's side had sent over. "This is the invitation President Jiang had someone deliver. He says he hopes you can attend on time."

"Is this him giving me charity? Only after standing me up does he give me an invitation. Why didn't he do it earlier?!" President Xu immediately made a big deal out of it.

Looking at the invitation again, he found it an eyesore.

"What does Jiang Muye mean by this? I just got divorced, and he comes to provoke me? He thinks I'll just obediently go along with him after a little sweetness? What a joke!" President Xu's belly was full of fire now.

"I'm not working with the Chen Clan anymore, and I absolutely won't attend the wedding! Whoever wants to go can go. You put the word out, I'll attend Jiang Muye's next wedding!" President Xu roared at the secretary to vent.

The secretary trembled and didn't dare move at all.

Only after President Xu finished cursing did she give a dry laugh. "Alright, I'll do as you say."

After she retreated, the more President Xu thought about it, the angrier he got.

He simply couldn't swallow this breath. Since Jiang Muye wanted to humiliate him like this, he shouldn't blame him for being unrighteous.

…

The wedding date was getting closer and closer.

The bridal chamber had been fully decorated as well. The five-piece bedding set and the furniture had all been neatly added, and even the guest favors had been prepared to the highest standard.

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli had also rehearsed once in advance with the officiant.

Even though they knew it was only a rehearsal, the two of them still felt their hearts surge, and even felt stirred by the scene, full of emotion.

Jiang Muye wasn't a person who liked to cry.

Now, after watching the flow the officiant cued, he felt he'd definitely cry buckets at the wedding.

Looking again at Leng Ruoli, whose eyes were a little red, Jiang Muye fought back his tears and joked, "On the wedding day, I'll bring tissues, so you don't end up crying yourself into a mess."

Leng Ruoli puffed out her cheeks and answered, "On the wedding day, I'll definitely be strong. I absolutely will hold back and not cry."

Jiang Muye burst out laughing, thoroughly amused by Leng Ruoli's look. "Alright."

But tissues still had to be prepared, to avoid his Darling slapping herself in the face.

She was a crybaby with a particularly low tear threshold. If anything, she'd cry herself into a teary mess on the spot.

Leng Ruoli still had to go for a makeup trial, with a dedicated artist team serving her, and the overall styling had been decided.

The two newlyweds now just waited for the Saturday wedding to arrive.

Only, Jiang Muye had never imagined that everything would be prepared, yet a problem would appear on the guest side.

"President Xu's side replied that they won't be attending your wedding with the CEO's Madam," the secretary said nervously.

She had thought Jiang Muye would lose his temper, but instead Jiang Muye said calmly, "Alright."

The secretary even suspected she had misheard. "CEO, you don't mind?"

"Why should I mind? If he doesn't come, he doesn't come. There's no need for me to curry favor with him. Besides, it's my wedding. I'm happy, and that's enough." Having reached this height, Jiang Muye no longer needed to watch anyone's mood.

Earlier, he had been at fault for delaying the meeting with President Xu, but President Xu had directly put on airs and simply not shown up the next day.

So naturally Jiang Muye had no interest in working with such a petty person. There were plenty of business partners anyway, and there was no need for him to keep playing along with the other party.

Without President Xu, he'd still make money.

"That may be so, but now President Liu, Manager Liang, and Producer He Chuan all say they've run into problems and can't come. One has a mother-in-law who's sick, another has hives, and another is stuck at customs and can't get back…" the secretary said awkwardly to Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow. "Such a coincidence?"

"Yes…" Even the secretary could tell these were all excuses.

Much less the CEO, who was smarter than her. He surely understood the reason behind it.

"If they want to band together, let them band together. It doesn't matter to me. But I hope they don't pick the wrong person to stand with. Cancel all cooperation with them. I'm not a petty person, but I know which business partners are reliable," Jiang Muye said coolly, chin held high.

He wasn't afraid of anyone opposing him. The other party couldn't take him down anyway.

Instead, he wanted to see the regret on the faces of those who opposed him. Just thinking about it felt satisfying.

"Alright." Seeing that Jiang Muye was actually relaxed and happy, the secretary sighed inwardly.

This really was a broadening of the Mindset.

If it were anyone else, they'd probably be furious by now.

After all, President Xu's status was very prominent too, and plenty of people wanted to associate with President Xu. Otherwise, these people wouldn't skip the wedding just to curry favor with him.

But these people really were stupid. They wanted to please President Xu on one hand, yet not offend the CEO on the other. How could that possibly work? See, now the duck that was cooked was about to fly away.
