Mr President, We Meet Again!

Chapter 52 - A Love Rival

Lin Wen Xin looked at him and struggled lightly to remove her arm from his hand.

She took a deep breath before saying, “I’m sorry President Wang, then I guess, it is just me who needs more time to think about this.” Lin Wen Xin proceeded to leave the restaurant without turning back.

But to be honest, she was very touched by what Wang Shen Ze had said to her.

Anyone who knows him would know that he is someone who would never apologise or bow down to any person. So for Wang Shen Ze to say those words to her, it must not be easy for him.

And the fact that he had personally came to apologise and explain about what had happened, it showed how much he truly cared about her and their marriage.

However, as much as it is easy to forgive him, it is very difficult to forget the hurt and pain that she had been put through. Indeed, it requires both time and effort for her to fully heal from this.

...

Over the next few days, Lin Wen Xin had been very busy settling down in her new office. She now has a small team of eight employees, who are currently managing different aspects of the business.

Lin Wen Xin was so engrossed in her work that she did not even notice Xiao Yu Zheng standing at the door.

Seeing how focused she is, he probably guessed correctly that she must have forgotten to take her lunch again.

Xiao Yu Zheng shook his head helplessly as he walked over and knocked on her table lightly, “Miss Lin, the takeaway lunch that you ordered is here.”

“Huh? I didn’t...” She looked up with confusion, and immediately saw Xiao Yu Zheng’s teasing look.

“Alright alright... Put your work aside first. No matter how busy you are, you have to remember to take your lunch.” He placed her documents at the side and laid out the food on her table.

“Thank you!” Lin Wen Xin smiled as she picked up the utensils and started eating.

It was also at this time that she realised... “Oh right!! I need to go to the store later to get my gown for tonight’s event!”

“Yes, Madam. I’ll fetch you there!” In fact, Xiao Yu Zheng had already remembered her schedule, which is why he had dropped by her office early today.

...

Famuex Corporation is an internationally established French company that specialises in managing high-end departmental stores.

This time, they are looking to collaborate with a business partner who has the capability to help them expand their business across Asia.

Given their prestige, it is guaranteed that returns are high and secured, and it would also path a way for the business partner to gain a successful foothold in the international market.

This is the project that Xiao Yu Zheng had specially came back for, and it is also one that Wang Shen Ze is keeping his eyes on.

However, the bidding for this project is slightly tricky this time round. Bidders are required to host their very own fashion related project.

This simply means that Famuex Corporation is not just looking at the price and written proposal, but they are focusing on the quality of work that the bidders would execute.

So basically, the most successful event would win the bid.

Today is the day of Famuex Corporation’s welcoming party, and bidders who have successfully passed the first round of bidding - with their written proposals, are cordially invited to this event.

Xiao Yu Zheng’s company has received an invitation and he has requested for Lin Wen Xin to accompany him tonight. It would be ideal for him to have someone who has great insights in the fashion industry to attend this event with him.

Lin Wen Xin, who is wearing a red elegant gown, entered the ballroom together with Xiao Yu Zheng, who is in a black suit.

“Is she the famous designer, Chloe? Oh my... she is like a goddess!”

“Yes that’s Chloe, I really love her designs!”

“It’s my dream to own one of her clothing but I’m always stuck in the long waiting list.”

The chattering in the crowd was loud enough for Lin Wen Xin to notice them. She gave a polite smile, and said to the people who are looking at her with admiration, “Thank you!” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lin Wen Xin then followed Xiao Yu Zheng around the ballroom. And thankfully she was with him, otherwise, he really did not know how to build rapport with those people who are fashion enthusiasts.

In fact, Xiao Yu Zheng had reached out to Lin Wen Xin before, to ask if she is keen to head his company’s fashion project together with him. But she had rejected it due to multiple projects on her hand as well.

Meanwhile, Wang Shen Ze is also present tonight. And throughout the entire event, his eyes have been following Lin Wen Xin very closely.

Despite this event not being hosted by DT Holdings, there are still many businessmen who wanted to speak to him, as usual.

But Wang Shen Ze refused to entertain any one of them as he is fully focused on Lin Wen Xin.

Yi Fan could already sense his boiling anger, so he quickly got their subordinates to handle the crowd and push them away from Wang Shen Ze, as much as possible.

Towards the end of the event, Lin Wen Xin whispered to Xiao Yu Zheng, “I think it’s already quite late, should we leave now?”

Knowing that Lin Wen Xin did not want to stay any longer as she still has work the next morning, Xiao Yu Zheng responded, “Okay let’s go.”

As they are walking away from the party, Lin Wen Xin’s phone suddenly rang. “Sorry Yu Zheng, wait for me here, let me pick up this urgent call first.” She then walked over to the corner of the ballroom after receiving his acknowledgment.

Coincidentally, it was also at this time that Wang Shen Ze saw Xiao Yu Zheng standing alone. He walked over to him with steady footsteps and then grabbed onto his necktie to pull him closer.

Xiao Yu Zheng sneered, “President Wang, it has been a long time since we last met! And now that I see your face, I suddenly thought about what you told me before.”

He looked away from Wang Shen Ze’s cold gaze and pretended to recall, “Mmm... What was it?... That is... To marry her if I have the abilities to?”

He burst out laughing for a few seconds before staring straight into Wang Shen Ze’s eyes. “I have to really thank you for your encouragement. Without it, I wouldn’t have the chance to prove my worth to Wen Xin. And now I can finally say this to you - keep her if you have the abilities to!”

“But you don’t deserve her at all! So from today onwards, I will fight with you for her love. And I promise to not make her suffer, unlike what you have done to her.”

As soon as Wang Shen Ze heard this, his eyes were bloodshot and he could not hold back any longer!

He tightened his grip on Xiao Yu Zheng’s necktie and raised his fist at him, ready to throw him another punch!

Seems like Xiao Yu Zheng forgot what had happened before... It’s fine, he shall help him recall that incident again.

“What are you trying to do?” Lin Wen Xin happened to return at this moment and caught this scene. She rushed forward and removed Wang Shen Ze’s hand from Xiao Yu Zheng.

When Wang Shen Ze saw her, he obviously did not dare to throw him a punch anymore. He subconsciously loosened his grip and slowly placed both of his hands down.

Lin Wen Xin stood in front of Wang Shen Ze and looked at him in the eye - with disappointment, “It seems like you have not changed at all.”

She then turned around to Xiao Yu Zheng, “I’m tired, let’s leave now.”
