Chapter 290 Beauty Trap
After hanging up the phone, Yunzhi repeated Yunyun's words to Cheng Shuyan without missing a single one, and before he could speak, she said, "Shuyan, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. You are a businessman, and you have to be responsible for all the people under you, as well as for the clients who trust you."
Cheng Shuyan's words were cut off. He thought about it seriously for a while and nodded, "I will put the tender open to the public tomorrow."
“Yes, but the Tan family will definitely cause trouble.” Yunzhi frowned, her expression serious. Cheng Shuyan’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “This Hai City isn’t just dominated by the Tan family. Don’t worry, we’ll deal with whatever tricks they try. No matter what they do, I’ll have a way to handle it.”
Just then, Yunzhi's phone rang.
As soon as the call was answered, Yun's father's gentle voice came from the other end of the line, "Zhizhi, it's getting late, come back quickly."
“Okay, Dad.” As soon as Yunzhi hung up the phone, she looked up and saw Cheng Shuyan looking at her like a wronged puppy. He sighed softly, lowered his eyes and whispered, “It’s okay, Zhizhi, it’s okay for me to be here alone. You can go back.”
He said it was okay, but his tone didn't convey that at all.
Yunzhi's eye twitched slightly. "Oh, I was planning to take you home for dinner, but since you think it's okay, then forget it."
As Yunzhi spoke, she stood up to leave, but Cheng Shuyan, who had gone too far, grabbed her wrist and hurriedly said, "No, Zhizhi, I'll go."
Yunzhi turned her head and snorted softly, "Is it okay if you're not alone here? It's alright, you don't have to force yourself to come back with me."
"No, I won't force you. To be honest, I didn't eat lunch, and I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow." Cheng Shuyan would say anything to get close to Yunzhi. Where was his usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor?
Yunzhi stared at Cheng Shuyan for a while, then finally burst out laughing, "Wang Ma will be quite busy tonight. But have you finished dealing with your company's matters?"
"It's all taken care of. It was just a few rats. They wanted to take advantage of my hospitalization to team up with the rats outside to share power. Now it's all cleaned up, Zhizhi, you don't need to worry." Cheng Shuyan spoke of the rats in a nonchalant tone, as if they were nothing to worry about.
However, Yunzhi knew that if the company's situation hadn't been quite serious, Cheng Shuyan wouldn't have rushed out of the hospital so early in the morning.
A pang of heartache flashed in Yunzhi's eyes. She raised her hand and gently stroked the gauze on his face. "Dr. James said that you need to rest well in the near future. If you don't rest well, it will affect the healing of your scars. Shuyan, now that you've finished dealing with things at the company, you should rest well and not overwork yourself."
Cheng Shuyan remained motionless, letting Yunzhi do as she pleased. His gaze met Yunzhi's eyes, taking in the tenderness in them.
Cheng Shuyan's heart, which had always been somewhat timid in the face of whether Yunzhi loved him, became confident and relaxed at this moment. He knew that Yunzhi had feelings for him. Although he didn't know why Yunzhi had been unwilling to accept him all this time, he understood that he wasn't the only one performing a solo act recently. Someone else was also immersed in it. Knowing this was enough.
Perhaps it was because he didn't provide Zhizhi with enough security, or perhaps... Zhizhi had been hurt in a past relationship, so she was unwilling to easily trust others.
Thinking of his heartbreak, a sinister glint flashed in Cheng Shuyan's eyes, but it vanished in an instant and was not noticed by Yunzhi.
“Zhizhi, I also want to rest, but during my hospitalization, I fell behind on too much work, and now I really can’t find someone I can trust 100% to handle these tasks for me.” Cheng Shuyan gently rubbed Yunzhi’s hand that was resting on her face.
Yunzhi felt as if her palms had been brushed by feathers, making them slightly itchy, and her heart felt itchy as well.
Yunzhi withdrew her hand, and gently moved her hand that was hanging by her side a couple of times. Her mind was a little confused, and she didn't immediately refute Cheng Shuyan, giving Cheng Shuyan the opportunity to play the victim.
"Zhizhi, why don't you come to my company and be my personal secretary for a while? You can handle all the company emails. I only trust you." Cheng Shuyan's deep black eyes were full of sincerity.
It's impossible for Cheng Shuyan, as the company president, to have no confidants, but he would prefer Yunzhi to accompany him to work. Just thinking that Yunzhi would be with him at work made his boring job suddenly seem interesting.
Just as Yunzhi was being misled and her mind was in a mess, and she was about to nod subconsciously, a mechanical voice from the system suddenly sounded in her mind.
[Host, beware of a handsome man's trap.]
Yunzhi, "..."
The system's voice brought Yunzhi back to her senses instantly. She looked at Cheng Shuyan, who was trying to play the victim and get her to come to work with her, and almost laughed out loud in anger. Cheng Shuyan had now learned to take a roundabout approach.
He built the company to its current size; it would have been doomed if he didn't have a single person he could trust. Ironically, I had just actually believed his nonsense.
[I didn't expect the host to be able to use the "beauty trap." Ye Chengyan's appearance shouldn't be too bad compared to Cheng Shuyan's, right? Ye Chengyan's face wasn't deceptive to the host in the previous life. Could this be a side effect of this rebirth? Should we report this to the main system and have it checked?]
The system's usually cold, mechanical voice surprisingly carried a hint of doubt and confusion. Seeing that the system genuinely wanted to report this bug, Yunzhi quickly spoke up to stop it.
"Wait, it's not a side effect, anyway... anyway, I don't need to report it." Yunzhi stammered, unsure how to explain this to the system. Moreover, after decades of interaction with the system, Yunzhi had long regarded it as family, which gave her a sense of shame, like being caught in a puppy love relationship by her parents.
"Is that so? It seems I still need to learn more about human emotions." The system said this and then fell silent.
Yunzhi was a little confused about how the system learned, but now was not a good time to ask. She looked at Cheng Shuyan, who was still waiting for her answer, and said, "I see... then you should be busy. Although Dr. James said that you should be careful, it's okay. Dr. James is a highly skilled doctor. Even if you don't recover well, he can still perform surgery on you."
Hearing Yunzhi casually utter the words "surgery," Cheng Shuyan's heart nearly broke. This was quite different from what he had expected. He looked at Yunzhi cautiously, "Zhizhi, don't you want to come and help me?"
