Chapter 46

Staring intently at Zhang Yi's slightly resentful gaze, Xiao Sheng's heart instantly softened. As the dance music gradually reached its climax, Xiao Sheng knew the dance was about to end. Given Zhang Yi's temperament, if he didn't give her a satisfactory excuse, this girl might really do something out of line. [Com Text]

"Are you staying in this hotel?"

"Yes, this hotel is already part of the Zhonglei Group. I live on the top floor, which is the 28th floor. If you still want to mimic jumping out of the window like last time, don't forget to bring your own parachute!" Xiao Sheng, slightly embarrassed, then looked up, changed his tone, and said seriously:

"Sis, thank you for changing the group's name. I don't deserve it..."

"Isn't your name Xiao Sheng? This seems to have nothing to do with you. It took a lot of effort to build this reputation, how can it be changed so easily? I was planning to use this asset to support you..." Seeing Zhang Yi's heartfelt smile, Xiao Sheng nodded slightly and no longer forced her to do anything.

The group dance, originally seven minutes long, was extended to ten minutes when the senior executives of Maple Leaf saw their CEO smiling continuously. The music reached its climax, and Zhang Yi took this opportunity to pour out her longing. However, this was a torment for Chen Shuyuan and Dai Muxue, who were 'forced' to dance.

Xiao Sheng felt genuinely guilty towards this bold and passionate 'big sister.' Not to mention the past six golden years, even when they were in the same place, she treated him like family, caring for him meticulously. Even when he was out enjoying life, she remained uncomplaining and devoted. The reason he always fled at critical moments was that he truly couldn't bear to hurt her. When everyone envies the rich second generation and the children of officials, have you ever thought about how their fates are tied to their entire families, with complex political relationships? To put it bluntly, even their right to free love has been taken away!

It was precisely this point that made Xiao Sheng hold back at critical moments, controlling his 'gun'! Human hearts are made of flesh, especially for someone like Xiao Sheng, who is extremely indecisive with women. As the dance neared its end, the two chose silence, gazing at each other until the end, then reluctantly parted.

For Xiao Sheng, tonight's banquet was quite 'fruitful.' Not only did he catch some clues from Ma Han Kong, but he was also invited by a beauty to the top-floor suite of Maple Leaf at midnight, promising an extraordinary night.

It was nearly 9:15, and such banquets usually end around 9:00. The remaining time was for the 'like-minded' executives to deepen their connections! After politely declining several executives' invitations, the slightly tired Chen Shuyuan, with a polite smile, got into the black car!

Dai Muxue, who was rarely noticed in such settings, also felt tired after dancing a few times and lay back in the passenger seat. However, her peripheral vision would occasionally glance at Xiao Sheng, who was focused on driving! Both women had the same question: What kind of relationship does this bold 'rake' have with the chairman of Zhonglei Group, Zhang Yi?

With several questions in mind, even Chen Shuyuan, sitting in the back, cast her gaze at Xiao Sheng's back. Sensing the two women's puzzled looks, Xiao Sheng, after a brief silence, deliberately changed the subject:

"It's so late, let's take Dai Assistant home first..." Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan softly 'hmm'ed, and Dai Muxue, who wanted to refuse, chose silence after hearing Chen Shuyuan's response!

"Are you and President Zhang very close?" After a brief silence, Chen Shuyuan finally asked her question. Xiao Sheng, with a slight smile, met her gaze in the rearview mirror and answered lightly:

"Pretty close. My relationship with her is like our current relationship. I am a professional bodyguard and worked with her for a year, but I ran away before completing the last task. Too many people were involved, and I was afraid I would earn money but not live to spend it!" If making up stories is a strength, then this is Xiao Sheng's only commendable strength!

Chen Shuyuan, who vaguely knew some of Zhang Yi's political background, did not press further. That level of interaction was beyond her reach. However, she had a new understanding of Xiao Sheng tonight. A bodyguard who could work with a high-profile domestic company was certainly not ordinary. As a result, Xiao Sheng's status in Chen Shuyuan's heart rose a bit.

"President Zhang just arrived in Gangcheng, and she's in the dark. This is an opportunity. Lingnan is far inland from the sea, and the weather is just right. We can invite her to go on a spring outing. Chiyu Port is a good choice. Tomorrow, I'll try it in your name, but you need to be personally involved..." Xiao Sheng gave this advice to Chen Shuyuan for several reasons: one, to genuinely help her establish herself in Huaxin; two, to take this opportunity to accompany Zhang Yi in Gangcheng. His identity couldn't let him do as he pleased, but a bit of private gain wouldn't hurt. Most importantly, it was the task given by Zhu Yeqing, with the entry point being this bustling port known for tourism and smuggling.

Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan sat up slightly, her eyes filled with a mix of complex emotions, and she murmured:

"Thank you for all your help over this long period..."

"Be practical, boss. What do you think..." The originally serious Xiao Sheng immediately reverted to his usual rascal self. Chen Shuyuan ignored him and looked out the window, while Dai Muxue, in the passenger seat, had a cold gaze.

"Dai, you've been secretly watching me since we got in the car. What do you want? Can't you say it in front of President Chen? In the office, I sent you subtle signals, but you ignored me. Isn't this a case of playing hard to get?"

"You... You... I didn't, I just, just..." Dai Muxue, caught off guard by Xiao Sheng's public exposure of the office incidents, became flustered and lost her usual composure. Chen Shuyuan, hearing this, turned her head and smiled at the 'happy enemies' in front of her, finding them quite entertaining.

"Just what? Can't say you love me? Don't be like that. How about staying at my 'doghouse' tonight to save me a trip?"

"You, you are shameless. I just think there's definitely something abnormal between you and President Zhang, isn't that so..."

Hearing this, Dai Muxue, flustered, immediately realized she had spoken out of turn, glanced at Chen Shuyuan, and quickly lowered her head.

"Did you figure that out? Then what am I doing here? Haven't you noticed?" Xiao Sheng sat up slightly and continued:

"Haven't you noticed that I have the potential to be a kept man? My physique, looks, knowledge, and abilities! I'm telling you, cherish, definitely cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..." Xiao Sheng's words made the two women burst into laughter. Chen Shuyuan, who rarely laughed so sweetly, joined in with a giggle:

"Cherish life, stay away from Dog Sheng..." Hearing this, the laughter in the car became even more intense. Xiao Sheng, scratching his head, half-closed his eyes, unsure how to respond.
