Chapter 98: Chapter 98: At Your Command, Mr. Sheng!
Shengshi Group Headquarters, outside the conference room, Shaochen looked at his dark phone screen, frowned, and made a call.
And then, he pushed the door and entered.
Half an hour later, Ye Shu dialed Shaochen’s phone again.
In the quiet conference room, Shaochen’s phone vibrated on the table again.
A group of corporate executives just stared at Shaochen, disbelief on their faces.
Was this still their strict, disciplined CEO?
Not allowing phone calls during meetings was a rule set by the CEO himself.
Yet today, the CEO had personally broken this rule.
Not just once, but twice!
Shaochen looked at Ye Shu’s video call request shining on his phone screen, his lips curving unconsciously into a slight smile, looked up at everyone, “The meeting is paused for ten minutes.”
And then, he walked straight out of the conference room.
Behind him, the conference room immediately erupted.
“Did you see that? The CEO actually smiled.”
“Who could possibly be calling that has such charm to make our CEO break his own rules again and again?”
Outside the conference room, Shaochen leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and answered Ye Shu’s video call.
Ye Shu appeared on the phone, stroking her belly, “Mr. Sheng, I’m full now, can you respond to my request?” she spoke and couldn’t help but let out a burp.
Looking at the messy table in front of her, Shaochen nodded satisfactorily, “After you finish writing your reflection and preparing dinner, if you still have time to send your brother off, you’re allowed to go out, but you must return before midnight.”
“At your command!” Ye Shu, clearly in a good mood on the other end, saluted playfully and smiled brightly.
Watching her smile bloom like a flower, Shaochen’s mouth twitched slightly… hoping the little creature would understand his good intentions.
“President, here is the schedule from today until the end of next month, please review it,” his secretary approached, presenting a form.
On the phone, Ye Shu suddenly realized she had disturbed Shaochen’s work, smiled apologetically, “Mr. Sheng, you go ahead with your work, I’ll go prepare dinner.”
After speaking, she hung up directly.
Watching the phone screen suddenly go blank, Shaochen’s expression darkened.
The secretary shivered inside, lowered his head, “Mr. Sheng, sorry, I…”
Shaochen extended his hand, took the schedule from the secretary, and turned back into the conference room.
Leaving the secretary alone to stand there dazed.
Had he just hallucinated?
Their boss, who feared women, was just talking about dinner with a beautiful woman.
Ye Shu opened her laptop and began looking up recipes for home-cooked dishes.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed carp, scrambled eggs with green peppers, stir-fried corn kernels, dry-fried green beans, braised chicken with mushrooms; for dessert, she chose watermelon for its cool, refreshing taste, perfect for summer.
For two people, a few light and simple home-cooked meals should do.
Ye Shu printed out the recipes, ready to follow them.
She then remembered the reflection Shaochen had asked her to write.
Considering the fairly good treatment she’d received from Shaochen that day, Ye Shu decided to make his mood a bit lighter.
Obediently, she searched for an assortment of apology letters, cutting and pasting various parts until she compiled a ten-thousand-word reflection, printed it out, and signed her name prominently, placing it on the bedside table.
Only then did she pocket the recipes and go downstairs to prepare the ingredients.
Following the requirements step by step, proceeded to clean.
And then, following the procedures, she cooked one dish after another.
By the time everything was almost ready, it was already around five o’clock in the afternoon.
Ye Shu looked at the last dish, braised chicken with mushrooms, which was also ready, feeling very pleased, prepared to take off her apron and go to the airport to see off Ye Zifeng.
But Ye Zifeng had already called.
