In the early morning, a woman with an extremely good figure and breathtaking beauty reached out to draw the curtains. The sunlight shone on her, and she couldn't help but stretch lazily.
Dinglinglingling, Dinglinglingling...
This harmonious scene was finally broken by the ringing of a phone.
The woman picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and her eyebrows showed a hint of impatience.
"What can I do for you, President Ling?" A series of excessive things Ling Qianchen had done to Yuan Meng in the past few days had led to Yuan Meng's even worse evaluation of Ling Qianchen. He had directly become the worst of the worst scumbags! So even when Yuan Meng was in the persona of Ai Yue, she didn't give Ling Qianchen a good tone.
"Ai Yue, are you free today? I've recently made an analysis table for the bugs in a security system. However, regarding whether to keep some bugs and how to fix them, the technology on my side is still powerless. If you're free, let's study it together?"
Hearing that it was about business, Yuan Meng didn't make things difficult for Ling Qianchen anymore.
"Okay, then I'll go to your company to find you. I'll probably arrive around eleven o'clock. Ask someone to keep an eye out."
"Okay, then I'll send you the project bug analysis table first. You can take a look at it." Although Ling Qianchen was a scumbag, he was very dedicated to his work. This was also one of the few things Yuan Meng appreciated about Ling Qianchen.
For example, this project bug analysis table was done very well. It was clear and highly professional. Yuan Meng was very pleased after reading it and even became very interested in this project.
Yuan Meng quickly changed her clothes and drove to Luo Yishan's house to change her makeup. She couldn't wait to go and find Ling Qianchen. Of course, the reason was this interesting project.
"Shanshan, I'm here to remove my makeup." Yuan Meng was now proficient in using Luo Yishan's house as a transit station for changing personas. So Ling Qianchen always thought that Yuan Meng lived with Luo Yishan. He didn't know that Yuan Meng actually lived with him.
"Hmm? Mengmeng, who asked you out? Your... dear husband?"
"Asked me out to talk about a project. In half a month, he'll soon become my dear ex - husband. Just thinking about it makes me happy!" Yuan Meng hummed a happy tune while removing her makeup. "I'm leaving. Going to see my soon - to - be dear ex - husband!"
Yuan Meng arrived at the downstairs of the Ling Group on time. Just as she was about to go to the front desk to find a staff member, she heard someone call her from the rest area on the first floor.
"Ai Yue, over here!" Ling Qianchen was sitting in the rest area on the first floor waiting for Ai Yue.
With Ling Qianchen's call, all the staff of the Ling Group in the first - floor lobby looked towards Ai Yue. They all wanted to see what kind of divine being this woman was that the president had waited for for an hour.
Yuan Meng raised her eyebrows at this situation. What was Ling Qianchen up to... declaring his sovereignty?
"Why did you come down to pick me up in person? Anyway, we're going up. It's quite troublesome." Although Yuan Meng was polite on the surface, she was constantly complaining about Ling Qianchen's childish behavior in her heart.
"Cough... It's almost noon. I thought you hadn't had lunch yet. There's a new coffee shop nearby. The Western food in it is quite good. So I thought I'd invite you to have a meal first and then start work in the afternoon. What do you think?" Ling Qianchen looked at Yuan Meng expectantly, as if the words "have a meal with me" were written on his face.
"President Ling is really thoughtful. Then I'd better accept your invitation." Although Yuan Meng disliked Ling Qianchen, who could refuse a free meal?
The two walked side by side to the coffee shop for lunch. Along the way, countless Ling Group employees stared at them.
"A sirloin steak, a tiramisu, and a cappuccino. Thank you."
"A sirloin steak, salmon, and an Americano without sugar. Thank you."
After they ordered, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward. Ling Qianchen didn't know what to say appropriately, and Yuan Meng simply didn't want to chat with Ling Qianchen.
"Have you read the bug analysis table? Is there anything we need to prepare? I'll ask them to get it ready first." Ling Qianchen really didn't know what else to say, so he had to talk about work again.
"I've read it. I have a general idea in mind. I'll have to operate upstairs later to say for sure. There's no need to prepare anything in advance." Yuan Meng gave Ling Qianchen a perfunctory smile, and then the atmosphere turned cold again.
"What have you been doing recently?" Ling Qianchen finally couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask, looking a bit cramped.
Yuan Meng looked up at Ling Qianchen and replied without hesitation, "Not doing anything. Just hanging out with Luo Yishan every day."
The two chatted a few more words casually. Soon, the waiter served the dishes. When the two were eating, they both unconsciously adhered to the traditional Chinese culture: don't talk when eating and don't talk when sleeping.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
"Yeah, it's really delicious. Thank you for the treat." Yuan Meng picked up a tissue and elegantly wiped her mouth, showing a grateful smile to Ling Qianchen.
Bang, bang, bang. Just as the two were about to leave, someone suddenly knocked on the window beside them.
A familiar and handsome face came into their view. There was still that annoying smile on his face, and he annoyingly waved to say hello to them.
After a while, that annoying and handsome face entered the coffee shop and unceremoniously plopped down next to Ling Qianchen.
"You two ate so little! And there aren't even any snacks. Let me tell you, the fries and chicken wing roots in this place are top - notch. You'll definitely regret it if you don't eat them. Aiai, I remember you really like chicken wing roots!"
This man was Chai Yanyu. Chai Yanyu had originally come to find Ling Qianchen to talk about something, but by chance, he saw Yuan Meng and Ling Qianchen eating in the coffee shop when passing by.
"Waiter, give me a sirloin steak, a portion of fries, two chicken wing roots, and a caramel macchiato. Thank you!"
"A grown man drinking such a sweet coffee. It's really you." Yuan Meng showed a very friendly smile, but the words she said were mocking Chai Yanyu.
"So what? Who says men can't drink sweet coffee! I just like eating sweet things. Hey, is this tiramisu delicious? If it is, I'll have a portion later."
Chai Yanyu and Yuan Meng chatted happily back and forth, completely forgetting about Ling Qianchen beside them, whose face was black with jealousy.
"Are you two very familiar?" Ling Qianchen finally couldn't help but ask. These two clearly seemed very familiar. Sitting together, Ling Qianchen even felt like he was the extra one.
Yuan Meng was just about to deny that they were very familiar when Chai Yanyu snatched the words away. "That's right, Qianchen. You don't know. Aiai and I have known each other for many years. We're very familiar. Her bar and my club even cooperated together some time ago. Right, Aiai?" Chai Yanyu secretly made a gesture to Yuan Meng from an angle that Ling Qianchen couldn't see.
Yuan Meng rolled her eyes at Chai Yanyu in her heart, but thinking that this could anger Ling Qianchen, she just went along with Chai Yanyu and didn't say anything more. She just nodded.
