Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi didn't have Xiang Lin fly over cities just to have him sit around like this. She already knew that Xiang Lin had been working with Feng Huai in compiling personal information of artists in the company.

And through Song Yu Han's help, she also found out the dealing between Feng Huai and Gong Chun, who actually turned out to be his brother-in-law. As it turns out, Feng Huai was not content with his current position, wanting to become a phoenix and fly to the sky. He wanted to get to a higher position, but because he was just a junior agent, he could only be promoted to being Zhang Yiqing's manager while Zhao Fei became the Chief Agent of Chestnut.

Originally, Ran Xueyi looked back at their friendship and his capabilities, and wanted Feng Huai to take up a higher position, but who could have thought that this betrayal would actually halt her plans.

If Feng Huai knew about her desire to have him promoted, would he feel regret?

Ran Xueyi didn't want to know nor was she interested to find out whether he will feel regret or not. For someone who could backstab the hand that feeds them, there will be no retributions nor second chances. She'd rather pick a rabid dog in the street and have them stay beside her.

"We're here." Adelle announced as soon as the car rounded a corner and stopped at a famous hotel in the city.

The three walked inside and stopped at a restaurant. They entered a private room and as soon as they entered, Zhang Yiqing was sitting right next to the window and wearing a thick fur coat.

Zhang Yiqing heard the door opening and turned to them. A big smile was on his lips as he greeted them first.

"Xueyi Jie, you're here?"

Ran Xueyi nodded. "It's been a while, Xiao Qing."

Ever since that day at the club where she saved Zhang Yiqing from making the same mistakes as his group members, the two treated each other as if they were real siblings.

And to Zhang Yiqing, Ran Xueyi was not only his big sister, but also someone who had become his savior.

"You're here too, Lin Ge." Zhang Yiqing noticed the second-ranked assistant in his team and was surprised. He wanted to ask why they brought Xiang Lin to their meeting, but seeing Ran Xueyi's eyes glancing at him as if telling him to not say a word, he quickly clamped his mouth shut.

Adelle called a waiter into their room and once they arrived, she ordered a couple of dishes that were renowned at the restaurant. A couple of minutes later, their order arrived with two servers pushing a wheeled table which had warm and steaming food on top of it.

After the servers were done placing the plates of delicious food on their table, Adelle finally said, "Well, why don't we eat first?"

"Ah?" Xiang Lin suddenly muttered.

"What is it Xiang Lin?" Adelle asked.

"Um… I heard from Senior Wu that we're meeting the company president today. Are we not waiting for him?"

Adelle smiled. "Don't worry about this matter for now. I'm sure the company president wouldn't mind the employees eating first, right?"

Receiving the end of Adelle's gaze, Ran Xueyi silently nodded and picked her chopsticks. She grabbed two barbeque glazed wings and some vegetables before putting them into her bowl.

Seeing this, Adelle and Zhang Yiqing also picked up their chopsticks without a word.

With them being like this, Xiang Lin, who thought to use this meeting as an opportunity to get a head of Feng Huai, was completely lost. He never saw any subordinates who could act like this towards their boss.

Even Ran Xueyi, who was the company's number one artist and favorite, was unbridled. Is it really alright to eat ahead of their company president?

Soon after finishing the several foods on their table, Ran Xueyi noticed that Xiang Lin's bowl was untouched and clean. She raised her brows at him and asked, "You just got off the plane, are you sure you don't want to eat?"

Xiang Lin thought about it but still shook his head. He really didn't want to show bad behavior on his first meeting with the company president. "Thank you, Miss Ran. But I still want to wait. It would be bad if he is the only one who will eat when he comes."

Ran Xueyi smiled but didn't respond to his words. He didn't mention who he was waiting for, but Adelle and Ran Xueyi knew. It was Chestnut's president.

At least, Xiang Lin still has some thoughts of respecting the president even though his intentions behind this display of respect was unclear, he at least wanted to keep appearances in front of other people.

In front of other people, he's showing how much he respects the company president. But if nobody's looking, how much is he going to respect the president?

While Ran Xueyi was appraising Xiang Lin's worth, Zhang Yiqing, who was drinking a lime tea, was staring at Adelle. His stare held the meaning of 'Is it alright for me to be here?'

Adelle slowly nodded at him as if replying 'Yes, so stay seated.'

Zhang Yiqing didn't know the reason why he was brought there. He first got a call from Ran Xueyi to head over to Paradise City for a short notice of his cameo on a film. As an artist from Chestnut and knowing that Ran Xueyi was not only his savior but also his boss, he dropped everything else and flew over without a second thought.

But nobody told him that the second-ranked assistant in his team would be brought over during their meeting. Did he perhaps do something wrong and had to be scolded along with his assistant?

Zhang Yiqing replayed the things he had done over the past three years while Ran Xueyi was gone. But in the end, he got nothing because he had done nothing wrong!

While Zhang Yiqing was worrying about this, Xiang Lin diligently waited for the 'president' to come. However, even thirty minutes after they finished their meal, no one pushed the door open and entered their room.

"Uh… Are they perhaps running late?" Xiang Lin finally spoke, feeling slightly embarrassed being surrounded by big stars like Zhang Yiqing and Ran Xueyi.

Adelle didn't even look at the time or her phone, and replied, "No."

Xiang Lin was even more confused. What do you mean by no? It was almost an hour, but the president was still not there!

Zhang Yiqing heard their conversation and asked, "Are we waiting for someone else?"

Xiang Lin replied before anyone could, "They didn't tell you?"

Xiang Lin saw Zhang Yiqing's eyes widening as if shocked at his words. Xiang Lin thought that Zhang Yiqing already heard about this, but could it be that he was brought to Paradise City without knowing he was meeting the big boss?

He turned his head to sweep both Ran Xueyi and Adelle at a glance and wondered why they didn't tell Zhang Yiqing.

As his assistant, Xiang Lin felt aggrieved for him. But he couldn't do anything. He thought Zhang Yiqing knew about their meeting with the company owner so he didn't mention it to him.

Even though he was forced to betray Chestnut and help Feng Huai, Xiang Lin didn't want to blame nor drag Zhang Yiqing in the dirty puddle. He should paint him in a good way in front of the company president so that Zhang Yiqing could still get bigger opportunities.

Seeing him still looking perplexed, Xiang Lin comforted Zhang Yiqing, and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Yiqing. Just stay put and be obedient when they arrive. I'll also do my best as your assistant."

Zhang Yiqing felt that something was not right.

"What do you mean, Lin Ge?" he said with a frown.

Xiang Lin sighed and finally revealed, "We're meeting the company president. Senior Wu was the one who told me."

He casted a seething glance at Adelle, who returned it with a bright and shameless smile.

Just when he thought that Adelle and Ran Xueyi were grouping up to bully Zhang Yiqing by not telling him that they were meeting the president, he heard Zhang Yiqing speaking…

"What are you saying, Lin Ge? The company president is here."

Xiang Lin thought he was asking, but then the tone that Zhang Yiqing used was not to question him whether the president was here or not. Could he have heard it wrongly?

Zhang Yiqing sighed when Xiang Lin showed a clueless expression on his face. He pointed his hand towards Ran Xueyi and said, "This person is our president. Boom!

As if a bomb exploded in his mind, Xiang Lin had a hard time understanding what was happening. White noise was heard in his ears and interrupted his thoughts.

"Zha –Zhang Yiqing, what are you talking about? Who did you say is our co–company president?" Xiang Lin stuttered.

Zhang Yiqing scowled but patiently repeated what he had just said, "Ran Xueyi is the company owner and president of Chestnut Entertainment."

Bam–!

This time, a real sound was heard. It came from Xiang Lin who couldn't keep seated in his chair. He felt like his butt was just poked with a burner as he glanced at the three people seated at their table. They all had an expression that said that everything Zhang Yiqing revealed was true.

"You are the president?!" Xiang Lin exclaimed after a minute of calming the pacing of his heart.

Ran Xueyi slowly nodded her head.
