Zhang Yinshan: "..."
Zhang Chaohe, while not particularly worried but definitely showing off his smugness, asked, "Does this count as 'my yandere boyfriend'?"
The possessive and obsessive boyfriend with an extremely strong desire for control—a perennially popular topic in various fields of love and philosophy.
Zhang Yinshan was speechless for a long time before finally politely retorting, "I suggest you call him your 'old mother' boyfriend."
The call was abruptly ended.
Zhang Chaohe thought smugly, "So what if she's an old woman? I just fall for that kind of thing!"
So three months later, Cheng Jixue, who had postponed her departure from the group, returned home in the cold autumn wind only to tragically discover that Zhang Chaohe seemed to have gained a little weight... His deep, perfect face, like that of an ancient Greek god, had even gained a little bit of flesh.
Cheng Jixue was shocked—he needed to strictly control his diet and figure on set, so he had no idea that Zhang Chaohe had secretly grown into a fresh and lively… little pig with the help of beauty filters and face-slimming effects.
The sweet words of their long-awaited reunion, which he had envisioned, were shattered by cruel reality. Cheng Jixue sat on the sofa, looking worriedly at his wife and son, who had become noticeably rounder. He was so distressed that he ate less than half a bowl of rice for dinner. After dinner, he spoke seriously with Zhang Chaohe: "This can't go on."
“Uh…” Zhang Chaohe lowered his head in guilt. Of course he knew that he had gained a little weight recently—but how could Cheng Jixue dislike him for being fat!
Doesn't he realize why he's fat?
Zhang Chaohe in the past was humble, kind, and virtuous.
The current Zhang Chaohe: unreasonable, temperamental, and... self-righteous.
Cheng Jixue knew what Zhang Chaohe was thinking as soon as he saw the goose beak twitch. He immediately changed his tune as if taking a deep breath: "The 'Zan Ying' will be submitted for review soon, and the main cast will have to appear at the press conference... You probably don't want them to see that you've gotten fatter than before, do you?"
Zhang Chaohe felt like it was the end of the world just by imagining it—now that Leziren fans have started to openly slander his domineering CEO image, what if they find out that he has secretly gained weight?
He closed his eyes in pain and said, "Keep cutting it! Keep cutting it!!"
Then... Cheng Jixue naturally gained the qualification of one-on-one fitness personal guidance. Not only was Zhang Chaohe's happy game time taken up by weightlifting, but his breakfast time was also taken up by running... Cheng Jixue had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, but took the opportunity to take advantage of him. Several times the two almost went too far.
After much painful reflection, Zhang Chaohe realized he couldn't continue like this—he was too much of a beast; every time he saw something beautiful and vibrant, he couldn't control his wicked hands, and his morality and conscience were deeply condemning him!
To clear his wife's name, Zhang Chaohe finally made the polite request to kick her out of the house.
Cheng Jixue, who was secretly taking advantage of the three-month-old fat every day, was really enjoying it: Zhang Chaohe hadn't gained much weight to begin with. The money and sweat he had spent in the gym hadn't been wasted. After his recent body shaping and rehabilitation, Zhang Chaohe quickly regained his peak physique—both in terms of feel and appearance. Cheng Jixue had put in a lot of effort.
Then His Majesty crossed the river and burned the bridge, kicking away the loyal minister who had made great contributions.
Cheng Jixue raised an eyebrow: "Use it and then throw it away?"
Zhang Chaohe's eyes darted around: "No, don't overthink it."
Classic scumbag lines: "Don't overthink it," "That's not true," "If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do."
Not only that, Zhang Chaohe also tried to change the subject: "Have you seen your birthday present?"
Cheng Jixue almost laughed out of anger. He said through gritted teeth, "Thank you, President Zhang!"
Cheng Jixue celebrated her birthday on set. Zhang Chaohe used the underhanded tactic of a boss visiting the set to celebrate Cheng Jixue's birthday and presented her with a carefully prepared birthday gift.
Cheng Jixue accepted the house key under the astonished gazes of the directors and lead actors who knew the inside story, and in her mind, she imagined a whole love story: a sweet love nest, a world for two, a leisurely life, and retirement time.
He even secretly took a day off to go and see for himself, only to find that all of the above was just his imagination. What Zhang Chaohe, that old blockhead, gave him was a luxurious and awesome training room that exuded the smell of money.
It could even be called a "detached villa for practicing martial arts".
The property is not only equipped with a full set of top-of-the-line soundproof and shockproof, humanized multi-functional furniture, but also with a top-of-the-line German Crown No. 9.2 floorstanding speaker system worth six million, fully meeting his training needs!
That's so thoughtful! Cheng Jixue clenched his fist from afar, his veins bulging!
When Director Lu Xun saw him return, he started gossiping happily: "Is Mr. Zhang generous?"
Cheng Jixue: "Generous."
How could they not be generous? A single floor-standing sound system costs six or seven million.
But can't I afford it?
Even if you give her a ring, a flower, or a crystal ball from Taobao that supposedly "moved your girlfriend to tears"!
Why use money to solve problems!
Cheng Jixue angrily vowed that the soundproofing system would definitely play its due role in the future!
Thinking of this, Cheng Jixue smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The soundproofing is pretty good. You'll like it in the future."
Zhang Chaohe's face turned pale: Oh no, he's inviting me!
The world is so dangerous, how can a handsome young man not know how to protect himself when he's out there?
Cheng Jixue: A shy but irrepressible hint.
When will you come and ruin me?
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly, each lowering their heads in embarrassment.
Cheng Jixue touched her empty fingers and finally asked somewhat shyly, "When does Mr. Zhang have time to go order an engagement ring together?"
Zhang Chaohe was shocked: "How can you be engaged already? I'm only twenty-four!"
Surely I'm not going to be stepping into the grave of marriage so soon?! The billion-dollar plan hasn't even been realized yet!
Cheng Jixue was extremely melancholy, as if the most bleak and desolate light in the world was concentrated on him. He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with disappointment: "So, President Zhang just doesn't want to take responsibility, right?"
"You just want to take advantage of them and then break up, right?"
"I just want to..."
He was halfway through composing his parallel sentences when he suddenly felt a chilling gaze fixed on him—Cheng Jixue froze, then suddenly heard Zhang Chaohe let out a very alluring chuckle.
The next second, his lustful thoughts were extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Zhang Chaohe smiled and said, "Is that so?"
"Mr. Ji?"
Cheng Jixue knelt obediently on the sofa, his white cotton T-shirt revealing a hint of flesh and very faint, smooth muscle lines. He looked at Zhang Chaohe with innocent eyes: "What's wrong, baby?"
Zhang Chaohe: It's hard not to give in.
Sorry, ring, I really need this latest upgraded version of Xiaocheng.
Under Cheng Jixue's increasingly aggressive seduction, Zhang Chaohe's defenses crumbled, and he was unwittingly lured to order a ring.
Zhang Chaohe originally wanted to order a plain band, but Cheng Jixue insisted on wearing an inlaid ring. The sparkling little diamond on the inner band was completely encased in the plain outer band, making it impossible to see any trace of it.
Yet it truly exists, like a precious and dazzling heartbeat.
Zhang Chaohe stared at it for a while, and indeed thought this design was better looking. Although it was a bit pointless, his secret marriage with Cheng Jixue (?) did seem to have that implication.
The saleswoman smiled and handed over the packaged certificate and box—a ring that can only be purchased in one pair in a lifetime, and of course, it also comes with a unique certificate.
Zhang Chaohe took it and then realized a problem: "Wait a minute, if I've already ordered a ring with you, how am I going to order one with Ji Tingduan later?"
The manager knew the identities of the two people in front of him. Although he was already feeling nauseous, he still upheld his professional ethics and tried to persuade the philandering CEO, Mr. Zhang, to settle down: "Isn't Xiao Cheng good enough, Mr. Zhang? No wildflowers outside smell as sweet as home-grown flowers!"
Manager: Pointing and gesturing •jpg;
Cheng Jixue smiled without saying a word. He was radiating pink bubbles, as if he were immersed in honey water.
Rings, wedding bands, a vow of love!
While Zhang Chaohe was still receiving ideological criticism and education, he secretly took a picture and posted it to the family group... only to find that he had accidentally posted it to the Ji family's senior management group while daydreaming!
Cheng Jixue quickly withdrew, but her movements were still detected by a group of senior executives who were constantly monitoring the Second Master's movements!
Although everyone thought it was outrageous that Master Ji dared to secretly date under the media's nose, they still didn't want to miss the opportunity to flatter him.
Instantly, various middle-aged and elderly emojis and WeChat's built-in emojis filled Cheng Jixue's entire screen—after Cheng Jixue finally sent the message to the group chat, even Grandpa Ji was satisfied and sent a clapping emoji.
Meanwhile, Ji Boyang, who was at work and working with Zhang Yinshan to gradually implement how to build a biotechnology business empire, let out a painful and twisted howl: "How could my second uncle be faster than me?"
That damn competitive spirit—Ji Boyang jumped up from behind his desk and headed straight for Boss Zhang's office: "Let's go get our marriage certificate!!"
Zhang Yinshan, who was suddenly proposed to: ...
Before the Zhang family elders could even process the shock of their youngest son's engagement ring, their eldest son suddenly returned home, bringing a lawyer to Mr. Zhang's office, hoping his father could assist with the prenuptial property notarization.
Caught off guard, Chairman Zhang: ...
Zhang Yinshan also stated that he and Ji Boyang decided to skip the elaborate wedding ceremony and go straight to their honeymoon.
Mr. Zhang's dream of what his son would say and sing at his wedding was shattered: he had no choice but to try to get his younger son's opinion, and Zhang Chaohe was shocked: "How come they're all married?!"
Why roll it up in this damn place?! It's inappropriate, isn't it?
Cheng Jixue was itching to try: "How about we..."
Zhang Chaohe sneered: "I won't date unless it's worth 10 billion."
This isn't called dating anymore, it's called pre-registering for an account and getting cashback on in-game purchases during the open beta.
Cheng Jixue:
Sometimes, it's not good for a wife to be too shrewd, as it can easily cause a certain Mr. Ji to lose his position in the family.
Or rather, losing the right to obtain a status within the family?
Cheng Jixue is considering a one-click recharge to directly unlock the highest recharge reward tier, Wife ⚹1.
The person who suffered the most after Cheng Jixue left the team was none other than Assistant Chen. When the "Enchantress" was working outside to earn money to support her family, Boss Zhang was still able to work hard, keeping documents in hand and a thermos cup in his mouth every day. But as soon as the "Enchantress" returned to the company, Boss Zhang simply gave up and started playing games every day when he summoned her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve her.
Assistant Chen's resentment reached its peak; he even saw the wicked concubine sitting behind His Majesty's desk reading documents one day!
What is this if not a plot to seize power! Your Majesty, if you continue to allow this wicked concubine to scribble nonsense on memorials, the country will be doomed!
In reality, it was just that Zhang Chaohe suddenly figured out the key issue.
Since Ji is doing a good job working at his own home, what does that mean?
A new type of document-reading workforce!
He worked hard for three months, so it's okay for him to slack off a little, right? As the old saying goes, "When there's work to be done, Xiao Cheng does it; when there's nothing to do, Xiao Cheng does it..." Isn't this the pinnacle of a domineering CEO's life?
So Zhang Chaohe refused to try any further, turned on his gaming computer, threw the files in front of Master Ji, and began his tyrannical daily life as a ruler with a straight face, so arrogant that he even played games in the office with a controller!
Cheng Jixue looked at him with a sullen gaze, holding a report from two film and television companies, Jiasheng and Jiuzhou Qingtong, in her hand: "You're not even willing to pretend to use a keyboard?"
Assistant Chen pushed open the door, pinched his philtrum, and staggered away: "Our company is really doomed! The wicked concubine is already signing on behalf of His Majesty!"
However, for some documents, General Manager Zhang still had to move his hand to sign them. With a piece of mango fed to him by Cheng Jixue in his mouth, Zhang Chaohe frowned, quickly flipped through the documents, and signed them, complaining indistinctly, "It would be great if you could sign them for me."
Cheng Jixue pondered, "Actually, it's not impossible. I just need to acquire some more scattered shares and then increase my shareholding to 51%..."
He could then become an executive director, simply signing his name "Ji Tingduan" on the documents, and then...
Zhang Chaohe was greatly shocked—this man actually intended to seize power!
