I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 69 The Sudden Banquet

Outside the chairman's office, Shen Qingrou asked Ye Cheng, "What kind of banquet do you think it will be?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "I can't guess that. Let's take it one step at a time."

Shen Qingrou asked worriedly, "What if he doesn't let you participate?"

Ye Cheng said, "I can wait for you outside."

Don't worry, she wouldn't dare do anything to you under the watchful eyes of everyone.

She has to maintain the persona of a loving mother and a filial daughter.

Otherwise, others will laugh at us.

She's not stupid; she wouldn't do something that harms others without benefiting herself.

Shen Qingrou said, "I'm not worried that she might harm me."

"Do you understand the saying 'killing someone by destroying their spirit'? Sometimes, embarrassing someone is more painful than killing them."

Ye Cheng said, "I am your biggest weakness right now. All you need to do to embarrass me is attack me."

Therefore, you need to prepare yourself mentally in advance.

Shen Qingrou said angrily, "I don't know what kind of wind this came from, there was no warning at all!"

Ye Cheng reminded him, "Do we still need any signs? Such a big thing happened yesterday."

Since they suspect she was involved, she certainly won't let this go easily.

This is just the beginning; who knows what troubles might follow.

I even suspect that she already knows that I'm not only a normal person, but also quite good at fighting.

If you're afraid of trouble, then push everything onto me. I'd like to see how she deals with me.

Shen Qingrou said, "What's the difference between targeting you and targeting me?"

Since we can't avoid it, let's face it bravely.

Ye Cheng suddenly grabbed Shen Qingrou's soft hand: "Don't worry, I will always stand behind you and protect you."

Faced with Ye Cheng's overtures, Shen Qingrou was caught in a dilemma. In her heart, she cried out, "If you don't show up soon, I'm going to fall in love with someone else!"

With mixed feelings, Shen Qingrou pushed Ye Cheng into her vice president's office.

She rarely comes here, and even when she does, it's only to give Du Miaowei some instructions before turning around and leaving.

Looking at the spotless office and Du Miaowei standing straight to the side, Shen Qingrou suddenly said, "Actually, you're quite suitable for this position."

Du Miaowei was taken aback: "I don't understand what President Shen means. Please stop messing with me, okay?"

Shen Qingrou smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so relax and act like you were in school."

Du Miaowei said speechlessly, "How could they be the same? You are my provider now."

We're all grown up now; we still need to have a proper sense of boundaries.

Shen Qingrou didn't continue the topic: "Let the makeup artist and costume designer come in. I'll sign the documents, do my makeup, and choose clothes at the same time. It's almost time."

Du Miaowei hurriedly made a phone call.

A short while later, a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged makeup artist arrived and began to assess Shen Qingrou's current condition before setting her makeup.

A stylish and unconventional stylist pushed in a rack of clothes and began to introduce her latest designs to Shen Qingrou.

Shen Qingrou looked up and then at Ye Cheng, asking, "Which one do you think suits me best?"

Ye Cheng said, "The styles of the clothes are all very good, but your appearance is beyond what these clothes can bring out."

Since you don't know what kind of banquet you're attending, it's always better to keep a low profile.

Let's choose that light pink dress without any patterns.

Shen Qingrou nodded: "Then let's go with Him."

Costume designer Tang Nianyun looked at Ye Cheng with excitement, as if she had met a kindred spirit: "Mr. Ye has a good eye. Don't be fooled by the fact that this dress has no fancy design; it is made of the best materials."

Because the material used in this garment doesn't require any special cutting or pattern making.

Simplicity better highlights its quality and suits Mr. Shen's temperament.

Du Miaowei glanced at the time on her wrist and urged, "President Shen, it's almost time. Please change your clothes first."

Shen Qingrou got up, took her clothes and went to the inner room. After changing her clothes and coming outside, she found that everyone's eyes were on her.

The light pink dress made her skin look as white as milk.

She was like a fairy from the heavens, with an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

Ye Cheng was so engrossed in watching that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Tang Nianyun said with a look of fascination, "So beautiful, so incredibly beautiful."

Only President Shen could fully bring out the meaning behind this garment.

Shen Qingrou strode over, directly ruining the previous beautiful moment.

Tang Nianyun hurriedly reminded him, "Take smaller steps, maintain your posture, don't walk with a swagger, President Shen, can we be a little more steady?"

Shen Qingrou disagreed: "Pretending to be beautiful is too tiring. I don't want my good looks to become a burden. Let's leave it at that and start applying makeup."

Makeup artists love doing makeup for beauties like Shen Qingrou. She has a great natural look, so it's easy and only requires a little touch-up to her eyebrows.

Having finished all this, Shen Qingrou was about to continue signing the documents when Du Miaowei said, "We can go now. We can't keep Director Ling waiting; it would be impolite."

Shen Qingrou was too lazy to continue looking at the documents and pushed Ye Cheng away.

Du Miaowei and the makeup artist hurriedly followed.

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, they found Ling Suqiu still waiting there alone.

Shen Qingrou quickly put on a well-behaved act and greeted her warmly, "Stepmother, what kind of banquet are you taking me to later? I don't want to go at all, but I'm afraid you'll be unhappy, so I have to bite the bullet and go."

Ling Suqiu symbolically straightened Shen Qingrou's clothes and sincerely praised, "My daughter is so beautiful."

"Just follow your stepmother for a while."

Shen Qingrou asked in surprise, "I'm going alone?"

Ling Suqiu said, "No, let's go together."

Shen Qingrou thought to herself, "Are you out of your mind? Did I mean that?!"

"Stepmother, what I mean is, can we bring Ye Cheng along? He can't live without me."

Ling Suqiu glanced at Ye Cheng: "It's not appropriate for him to go."

Worried that Shen Qingrou and Ling Suqiu might clash, Ye Cheng could only say, "I'll wait for you outside."

Shen Qingrou originally wanted to say, "If Ye Cheng isn't going, I won't go either."

Since things are about to fall apart anyway, why bother pretending anymore?

Ye Cheng's words instantly calmed Shen Qingrou down. She looked at Du Miaowei and said apologetically, "Weiwei, you have to work overtime tonight. Could you please drive Ye Cheng along with us?"

Du Miaowei readily agreed, "No problem, I'd be happy to help you."

Ling Suqiu didn't say anything to object, and took Shen Qingrou's arm as they walked outside.

A professional driver was waiting outside. Shen Qingrou and Ling Suqiu got in, and the driver set off immediately.

In a panic, Du Miaowei quickly drove her car over and then helped Ye Cheng sit in the back seat.

Just as he was hesitating whether to call Shen Qingrou to ask for directions, Shen Qingrou sent him her real-time location information.

Du Miaowei opened the package, made a judgment, started the engine, stepped on the gas, and gave chase.

Ye Cheng said, "Don't panic. As long as we know her destination, we're fine. We're not going in anyway, we can just wait outside."

Du Miaowei said, "I'm afraid that President Shen will blame me if he doesn't see it immediately."

Working is tough.

Seeing Du Miaowei's pitiful appearance, Ye Cheng asked kindly, "Where are we going to have dinner later?"
