11: In the lingerie design department, I met Zhao Shousong's mother!

"Beep, beep, beep—"

In a high-end residential complex, listening to the busy signal from his phone, Zhao Shousong dialed back in a fit of rage, only to find he had been blocked!

Blocked?

That vile woman wouldn't dare block him even if she had ten times the courage!

It must have been that pretty boy!

"Damn it!"

He angrily smashed his phone against the wall, and it shattered into pieces instantly.

"Ye Chen!"

"Yi Yue!"

"You two pieces of scum, just you wait!!!"

...

Early the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.

Ye Chen was sleeping soundly in the guest room of Yi Yue's house when he was awakened by the sound of his phone ringing.

He reached for his phone, and seeing the words "Sister-in-law" flashing on the screen made him instantly more than half awake.

He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button: "Hello, Sister Meiting."

From the other end of the line, Jin Meiting's charming and seductive voice immediately came through.

"Yo, has our little hero woken up?"

"Yesterday at the hospital, kicking my godson and crushing a gay guy with wads of cash—was it satisfying to play the hero saving the damsel, my Younger Male Cousin?"

Ye Chen remained silent.

He had long expected that after Chen Bo returned, he would definitely go to Jin Meiting for verification; this matter could not be hidden.

"What? Did you become mute after playing the hero?"

Jin Meiting laughed with a crisp sound like a bell, "Come to Sheshan Manor tonight; Zheng Hu wants to see you."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

What was meant to come had finally arrived; the calm before the storm was over...

He replied in a deep voice: "I understand, Sister Meiting, I will be there on time."

"Giggle..."

Jin Meiting giggled again, but her tone was full of threats.

"Don't worry, I will put in a good word for you with Zheng Hu, and I will even pay out of my own pocket to clear all your debts."

"However, you must perform well with Bing Lan today. If you get obsessed with money again..."

"Then don't blame me if I don't cover for you, my Little Driver."

As soon as she finished speaking, the call ended.

Ye Chen put down his phone speechlessly.

Bing Lan was Jin Meiting's best friend; naturally, she would have mentioned it when asking him to do something.

It was just that this dangerous and charming sister-in-law was plotting to deal with Bing Lan...

What exactly did she want to do?

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A light knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Ye Chen opened the door.

He saw Yi Yue standing at the door with her legs together, looking embarrassed: "Ye Chen, I... I think I fell asleep last night."

She had woken up a short while ago and found herself lying safely in the master bedroom bed, her clothes intact.

More importantly, last night was the most peaceful sleep she had had since her father's accident...

"You were just too tired; it's normal." Ye Chen smiled.

Yi Yue seemed to remember something, and a blush flew across her cheeks: "Also... my period came today, but strangely, it doesn't hurt at all this time."

"No pain means your meridians are clear and your blood circulation is smooth."

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, "As long as you get a massage for conditioning once a month from now on, the abdominal pain basically won't recur."

"Ye Chen, thank you so much." Yi Yue said, full of gratitude, then asked, "By the way, when are you moving in?"

"Let's go now." Ye Chen glanced at the time.

"I'll help you!"

"No need to trouble yourself, I only have a few things, I can do it myself."

Ye Chen returned to his rented room alone, packed his luggage simply, and moved to Yi Yue's house.

Just as he said, he only had a few things.

A basin—he used it to wash his hair, wash his face, and even wash his feet.

Four sets of clothes, two for summer and two for winter; in Xiamen City, there was simply no spring or autumn.

It didn't take long for him to settle into the guest room at Yi Yue's house.

Near eleven o'clock, Ye Chen greeted Yi Yue and drove to the Shuyue Group headquarters building, following the address on the business card Bing Lan had given him.

The building towered into the clouds, its glass curtain wall shining with the luster of money under the sunlight.

The huge The Group logo highlighted its extraordinary status in the domestic women's consumer goods field; it was magnificent.

Just as Ye Chen stepped into the spacious and bright lobby, a familiar figure came up to greet him.

It was exactly that Chestnut-haired Girl from by the pool yesterday.

"Yo! Younger Male Cousin, you really came!"

She walked up close and extended her hand with a grin.

"Let me introduce myself formally; my name is Li Qin, and I am Sister Bing Lan's assistant!"

"She had an important meeting come up, so she specifically asked me to come down first to receive you."

"Hello, Miss Li." Ye Chen shook her hand gently.

"Don't be so formal; just call me Qin Qin!"

Li Qin had a cheerful personality and led Ye Chen directly to the private elevator on the side, "Come on, I'll take you to the design department and exhibition area on the twelfth floor first. That's the essence of our company, I guarantee it will open your eyes!"

The elevator went straight to the twelfth floor.

As the door opened, Ye Chen felt dazzled, as if he had stepped into another world.

This was one of the core areas of Shuyue Group—the Lingerie Design Department and the new product exhibition area.

Looking around, one could see models with hot bodies everywhere, wearing only the latest lingerie.

Their skin was as white as snow, and their curves were graceful.

Under the guidance of the designers, they stood or sat, gracefully adjusting their poses to display the intimate apparel on their bodies.

Where had Ye Chen ever seen such a spectacle?

The sea of white skin before his eyes made his ears turn red at a visible speed, his cheeks burned, and he didn't know where to look, so he could only follow Li Qin stiffly.

Li Qin took in his embarrassed appearance, smirked, and nudged him with her elbow.

"Younger Male Cousin, why is your face so red?"

"Have you never seen so much lingerie before?"

She even winked playfully, "Did you see any you like? Big Sister can help you get an internal price, or even... have the model put it on and give you a 360-degree, no-dead-angle detailed display?"

"Sister Qin, please don't tease me."

Ye Chen coughed twice, trying hard to ignore the scenery that was enough to make any normal man's heart race.

Li Qin wanted to tease him more, but the two just happened to turn a corner.

They saw a large fish tank embedded in the wall.

There was no landscaping in the tank, only four Blood Arowana swimming inside...

Ye Chen took one look and frowned: "Sister Qin, who designed to put this fish tank here?"

Seeing his serious expression, Li Qin explained.

"It was specifically ordered by the Expert that Sister Bing Lan hired before; he said it was a layout called 'Four Symbols Gathering Wealth, Golden Dragon Accepting Blessings'."

"Is there a problem?"

"There's a huge problem." Ye Chen's brows furrowed even tighter, "Just looking at this fish tank, I dare say that the Feng Shui layout of your building is probably not gathering wealth, but a great omen of disaster!"

"Ah?"

Li Qin widened her eyes in surprise, "You can tell just from a fish tank?"

Ye Chen didn't answer directly but continued to ask.

"If I'm not mistaken, is there a special antique display area on this floor, or the floors above and below corresponding to it, that is not open to the public?"

"And, is the arrangement of the display cabinets inside strictly arranged according to the Bagua formation?"

Li Qin gasped, her face full of shock.

"Oh... My God!"

"Younger Male Cousin, are you really capable of precognition?"

"You are completely correct! There is a 'No Entry' antique treasure area on this floor, and the display cabinets inside are placed according to the positions of the Bagua diagram!"

"Sister Bing Lan said it was set up by an Expert to stabilize the business and gather Qi!"

"Take me to see it!" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, "This Feng Shui formation is definitely not for stabilization, but for locking in evil spirits. Combined with this 'Trapped Dragon' formation, it is the greatest omen of disaster. Not only will it severely hinder The Group's fortune, but in the long run, it will backfire on its owner and endanger Miss Bing herself!"

Li Qin's expression changed suddenly: "Okay! Follow me, this way!"

As she spoke.

She hurriedly led Ye Chen around the design department area and toward a corridor.

At the end of the corridor was a solid wood door.

A sign hung on the door: "Antique Display, No Entry."

Li Qin took out her access card and swiped the electronic lock.

But just as she pushed the door open a crack, the sound of a man and a woman panting faintly drifted out from the gap...

"Sister Wang, be a little quieter..."

"What are you afraid of? No one comes here!"

Ye Chen and Li Qin paused, looking at each other.

No way...

In broad daylight, and in the antique display room of The Group's critical area, there was actually... someone cheating inside?!

Their curiosity exploded, and they tacitly peered through the door gap...

They saw.

In the center of the display room, an old woman in her fifties, wearing an executive suit, was engaging in intense interaction with a young man in his early twenties.

Ye Chen looked at the old woman's profile, the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed, so he whispered: "Sister Qin, who is that woman?"

Li Qin pursed her lips, looking disgusted.

"Her? Her name is Wang Mei, and she is the team leader of one of The Group's product design teams!"

"Relying on her seniority and old connections, she usually loves to touch young, handsome male models and male subordinates, taking advantage of them!"

She was a bit angry and added, "I just never expected that she would be so bold as to bring her lover into the company and fool around in a place like this!"

"Wang Mei?" Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly, "The wife of the principal of Xiamen High School?"

Li Qin nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's her, you know her?"

Ye Chen's expression was strange.

More than just know her?

This old woman was Zhao Shousong's mother!

Good grief...

The son was gay and was forcing his wife to pay off debts outside.

The mother was addicted to affairs and was eating young meat in the company.

That principal wasn't a good person either; he had previously been anonymously reported on the school forum for touching female students' butts.

This family was truly a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes, full of talents!

He silently took his phone out of his pocket...
