President, Please Be Careful
194

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?! These are 99 bouquets of roses, and the bouquet is huge! It symbolizes eternal love. Oh... romantic once!” As soon as Zhao Youlin disappeared from her sight, the head of the female department threw the report to the side. He held her face as if he had fallen in love.

The head of the women's department took the lead and soon, another woman inside the meeting room followed, “Indeed, this is the fifth wreath for the week. Geez, 99 bouquets of roses every day?! That's so enviable! I'm sure someone must be chasing our general manager!”

Right after the female colleague spoke, everyone inside the office immediately discussed it, “Cheh! Everyone can see that someone is chasing our general manager, okay?! We are not that stupid to bet with you on this!”

The female companion choked after the crowd mocked her. Soon after, he changed his attitude. He faked a cough and said, “Let me change it, then. I am sure ... I'm sure the one who's after the General Manager is the president of the Mu Feng Group. He risked his own life only to save her when she was trapped in the elevator last time!”

"It's possible. I'm sure the one who's after the general manager is the young master of the Ye family. Last time, she was often seen with the general manager and then, they reported having dinner together.”

“You bet on the young master of the Ye family?! You insane? Didn't you see that President Mu had risked his own life just to save our general manager at the opening of the elevator a few days ago ?! I'm sure it must be President Mu!”

“Nothing is absolute. Isn't President Mu his ex? They married once and divorced. Something truly irrevocable must have happened. Even though our general manager looked grumpy, he clearly did not look like a person who could easily forgive the man who made a mistake with him. On the contrary, Young Master Ye looked very polite. I believe our general manager must have been very happy when he was with him! I also bet that person is Young Master Ye!”

“Even if they're divorced, haven't you heard recent rumors that they're getting married again? I think President Mu is most likely the one.”

“Marriage back is just a rumor. No one knows if it's real. Moreover, why would she have to do all this if they were to get married again soon? I think it is very likely that that person is Young Master Ye.”

The mysterious identity of the person who sent the flowers made a group of women start the discussion smoothly. In the end, the entire group started gambling, while the men who were at the side felt speechless. They looked up and sighed to themselves, "Women who like to gossip are truly terrible creatures."

After lamenting, they recalled the topic involving the three parties. Once again, they could only sigh, 'Why are the men chasing the General Manager to such a high standard?' Their love rivals are too strong. Therefore, they could only quietly retreat, crouch down on the side and quietly lament the end of their unrequited love that had not even begun at all. How sad! It was a really sad feeling!

At that moment, Zhao Youlin had no idea that she had once again become a hot topic in the entire company due to one bouquet. He took Xiao Jingyao to a remote corner and sharply glanced at the bouquet of roses in Xiao Jingyao's hands.

When Xiao Jingyao saw that Zhao Youlin did not intend to accept the rose, she could only pretend to cough. He said politely, "General Manager, do you want to bring this bouquet back to your office and put it in a vase, or ..."

In other words, 'Please hold the flowers. Although there are only 99 and not too heavy, my hand will hurt after hours of holding it.’

At that time, Xiao Jingyao regretted agreeing to Li's request because of her tenderness. He helped Li carry the bouquet and sent it to Zhao Youlin. For God's sake, this was clearly Li's job, why would an old man like him have to carry such an attractive bouquet of flowers and take a walk in the company? How embarrassing that is.

"Is it still anonymous?" Zhao Youlin ignored Xiao Jingyao's hint. He glared at the striking red rose coldly as he asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Xiao Jingyao reflexively reached out to hold the gold-framed glasses at the base of her nose as she replied in a low voice.

Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes and said faintly, "Just throw it away, then."

"dumped it?"

"Yes. Throw away. If you ever receive flowers like this from an unknown person again in the future, just throw them all in the trash. No need to bring them to me. Who knew if a time bomb had been placed inside a large wreath like this, or something could spread from it that could cause our skin to rot? Since that fellow did not even dare to leave his name, there might be some malicious intent behind it.”

Xiao Jingyao was silent. He felt like he was holding some kind of hot potato in his hand, and he felt uneasy all over.

"Above everything ..." Zhao Youlin glared at the bouquet of roses in disdain and expressed her feelings, "What kind of monstrous color is this?! It's too flashy! Just less taste!”

Xiao Jingyao was silent. He thinks he's right. So, he didn't say anything.

That expensive bouquet of roses ended up in the trash can along with another pile of trash.

On the other hand, unbeknownst to the person who sent the flowers, the flowers were abandoned. However, he still felt anxious chasing after someone for the first time in his life. Although his emotions were veiled under his ever-stoic face and others could not see how nervous he really was, as a chief secretary who is good at knowing the mood of his superiors and knows his behavior and attitude like the back of his hand, and has felt the gossip that once but now his mission to match the president and former Madam President, as well as the, all this was nothing to him!

“Ahem, President, you don't have to worry about anything. I've had news from others that Zhao has received the roses you sent him in the past few days. What's more, two days ago, someone saw Zhao holding your bouquet of roses and taking it to his office. Apparently, Zhao really likes your gift.”

Actually, Zhao Youlin originally wanted Li to put the bouquet outside first so that the janitor could pick it up when she arrived. However, the bouquet was so attractive that it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Zhao Youlin found it annoying and hence, she had to hold the flower and hide it inside her office to gain peace.

As Xia Zhetao saw Mu Tingfeng no longer seem to reject the idea as before, he continued by adding, "As long as we remain mysterious and send flowers anonymously, Ms. Zhao was touched by this, only then did we show up. Although Zhao has some prejudice with you due to past events, he will at least consider your recent attention and forgive you, as well as return to you. With years of experience hanging out with women, I can guarantee you that this will definitely work!”
