Chapter 74: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
"Chapter 74: Can You Hug Me for a While"
"Um, he did make a mistake in this matter. He was greedy and used some subpar ingredients... But look, the employees didn't suffer any harm, and the company compensated them. Can you consider letting him off the hook?"
Ou Yan asked languidly, "How should I let him off?"
"For example, let this matter pass, and have him provide free meals for employees for six months or a year... You can rest assured; I will closely monitor the quality of ingredients in the future, making sure he doesn't use inferior ones!"
"It was because you were closely monitoring that trouble arose before," Ou Yan's gaze fell on him, carrying a hint of oppression. "Doesn't Vice President Hu bear any responsibility?"
"Yes, I do have responsibility..." Hu Linquan lowered his head. If it weren't for other considerations, he wouldn't have come to beg this girl. "If you feel that the employees eating those additives doesn't matter, then you can eat them for a year, and after a year, we can discuss this matter again."
"President Ou, are you kidding me?" Hu Linquan smiled obsequiously. "A year of prison food is enough for my relatives to eat for 365 days."
"Is prison food not as good as additives?"
"..."
"At least it's healthier."
"..." Hu Linquan was completely silenced.
"As the vice president of the company, instead of reflecting on yourself and thinking about compensating the employees when such a thing happens, you're trying to defend your relatives. I don't know where you find the audacity to talk to me about these matters. If you want me to settle this privately, sorry, I can't do that."
Upon hearing the girl's resolute refusal, Hu Linquan's heart chilled halfway. But thinking about his relative causing trouble, possibly implicating him, he had no choice but to press on.
"President Ou, mainly our two families have a deep relationship privately. My old mother is eighty-nine this year. Upon hearing he got into trouble with the authorities, she cried, threw a tantrum, and threatened to hang herself, insisting I rescue him..."
"His family is also making a fuss with me. I really have no choice but to come to you..."
"It's mainly because we can't bear to see him suffer like this..."
"..."
"Then are you willing to let the employees suffer like this?" Ou Yan raised her eyes and asked.
"This..."
"There's no room for negotiation in this matter. Vice President Hu, you better think about it for yourself. Mr. Liu is your relative, and when such a thing happens, the headquarters will definitely investigate thoroughly."
Hu Linquan's heart went cold upon hearing this. His resolute figure softened, and with a slight bow, he left dispiritedly.
Having finished dealing with work, Ou Yan ate the desserts bought by Si Yechen and soon it was time to leave the office.
Night fell.
Si Yechen took her to have a candlelit dinner, his eyes seeming to hold countless words, but in the end, he didn't say a word and silently fed her.
"Is there something?" Ou Yan looked at his hesitant appearance, feeling puzzled.
"Do you... not like that bracelet?" Si Yechen looked at her with a somewhat downcast expression. "Or... do you not like me?"
Ou Yan: ??? "Is it because I've been bothering you a lot recently and you're annoyed?" Si Yechen picked up a hot towel, gently wiping off the sauce from her lips, his gaze intense and concerned, waiting for her answer.
Ou Yan only then noticed that she forgot to wear the bracelet.
"If it's because you don't like me, then I'll work harder to make you like me. Give me some more time?"
Ou Yan: ???
"If it's because you don't like that bracelet, I'll design a new one for you."
Ou Yan: !!! "Did you design that bracelet?" Ou Yan was somewhat surprised.
But for Si Yechen, it wasn't a difficult task at all. He had a natural talent for design since childhood, and in Qing Mu's words, if he focused solely on design, he would become a legend in the design world!
His design talent had once caused a sensation internationally.
"Yeah." Si Yechen looked at her eyes, his expression serious and solemn. "Is it an issue with the bracelet or with me? If both, I'll fix them together."
Ou Yan raised her lips, her smile clear and beautiful. "The bracelet is quite nice, I really like it. I accidentally spilled juice on it in the afternoon and took it off to wash my hands, then forgot to put it back on."
So, this guy thought she didn't like him anymore, and that's why he was being so careful?
"Then what about me?" Si Yechen's gaze was serious and concerned as he looked at her. "Do you like or dislike me?"
"..." Who asks such questions?
"Like, or dislike?"
"It's okay." Ou Yan smiled. "Can we eat peacefully now?"
Si Yechen lovingly touched her face, dissipating the gloom from earlier and replacing it with sweetness and happiness.
Yan Yan said he was okay.
It meant that he was doing quite well most of the time.
He raised a smile, joyfully feeding her.
"I'll eat by myself."
"Do you want me to feed you with a spoon, or..." Si Yechen suddenly leaned in, giving her a gentle kiss, hinting at something.
"You..." This guy was being naughty again!
After finally finishing the meal, Si Yechen escorted her to the entrance of the company. Getting off the car, he opened the door for her. "I'll accompany you up."
"The company's production line operates 24 hours."
If he went up, there was a high chance that the production department's people would see him.
Seeing Si Yechen looking a bit aggrieved, Ou Yan helplessly said, "Wait for me here. I'll come down after getting the bracelet."
"Then hug me for a moment."
"..." "Hug? Give me a moment." Si Yechen opened his arms, like a child asking for a hug.
Ou Yan looked at this usually cold and indifferent man turning so childishly in front of her, feeling even more helpless. To avoid being seen by others, she tentatively touched him.
She thought it would be just a touch, but unexpectedly, Si Yechen's arms immediately encircled her. "When can I be seen in the light?"
"Uh?" "When can people know that I'm your fiancé?"
"Is it important?"
"Important." Si Yechen hugged her tighter. "Very important. Is there anyone in the company pursuing you?"
Ou Yan found it funny. In these past few days, she had caused such chaos in the company that not only men but even women were afraid to approach her...
"No."
"I like it." Si Yechen inhaled the fragrance from her body. "I really like it. You're a married woman; you need to keep a distance from others."
"..." "Okay, okay. I'm going up now." Ou Yan didn't want to hug and cuddle in the middle of the street, affecting her image.
She entered the company, entered the office with the access code, pushed the door open, and found the bracelet lying quietly on the desk...
Thinking of what he said tonight, Ou Yan's heart warmed.
To avoid making him wait too long, Ou Yan put on the bracelet and left the office. Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she suddenly heard voices coming from the safe corridor...
It seemed like a quarrel, with a hint of complaint.
Ou Yan tiptoed and pushed open the door. She then realized the voices were coming from a few floors below.
Because of the echoing corridor, the voices sounded louder.
