110 Trip

Yan Mei's lips tilted upward, "Hmm, my husband is very handsome."

A look of surprise flickered in Lei Zhao's eyes; he wasn't expecting her to say this. Looking at the smile on Yan Mei's face, Lei Zhao was utterly mesmerized, and he stared at her in a daze like a love-struck fool.

"What?" Yan Mei asked as she raised her eyebrows

"My wife is so beautiful that I can't stop staring at her." A faint blush spread on Yan Mei's cheeks when she heard him.

The executives opened their mouth in utter shock. Did they... just witness their Boss blushing? God… was the world about to end? The surprise was too much for them to handle, but years of working in the mall helped them to mask their expression.

"Have you had lunch?" Yan Mei asked, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"No, I just finished some work. What about you? Have you eaten?"

Yan Mei bit her lips and shook her head.

"No."

A frown marred on Lei Zhao's face when he heard her.

"Remember to eat after the call, okay?" Lei Zhao said in a stern CEO voice that made it difficult to refuse.

A smile crept Yan Mei's face, and she nodded. Even though his voice was stern, Yan Mei wasn't angry; she knew he was just worried about her.

"You, too, remember to eat." Yan Mei said softly, melting Lei Zhao's heart in mere seconds.

Lei Zhao chuckled, "Okay."

"Now concentrate on your work to make more money."

Lei Zhao's lips curved into a smile. "Alright, with my wife cheering me on, I will work harder."

The executives nearly had constipation. Can these people stop feeding them dog food?! The executives protested inwardly, but none of them dared to voice it out.

Now that he has seen her, Lei Zhao felt content. Now he can bury himself into work.

"Remember to have lunch." Lei Zhao reminded her softly.

"I will." With a nod, he hung up the call.

Su Bei looked at her friend being happy, and she couldn't help but feel a brief pang in her chest. Will she find someone who would love her?

"Let's continue." Yan Mei said flatly, putting her phone down.

The executives felt their Boss was simply inhuman. How was she able to turn from a sweet, loving wife to her usual aloof side in the blink of an eye?

"President, we were suggesting using Li Wei as the representative for the men's collection. Since he is the hottest idol in the country now."

Yan Mei's brows bumped together as she tapped her fingers on the desk. 'Li Wei.' Why does that name sound familiar? Suddenly an evil smirk appeared on Yan Mei's lips. Oh, he is that rude cousin of Lei Zhao; she met that day.

"No, find someone else." Yan Mei commented.

The executives turned to look at each other, "But pre-"

Yan Mei's icy stare cut off the man's words. He swallowed nervously.

"What about the female model?" Yan Mei inquired.

"President, we are still discussing with her. She.. she wants us to double her pay."

A cold light flashed through Yan Mei's eyes. "Increase her pay? Why is she a queen or something? We are paying twice more than the average company, and she still wants us to increase her pay?"

Yan Mei scoffed. She hates these arrogant and entitled celebrities.

Suddenly a certain red-haired flashed in Yan Mei's mind. She was bold, fierce, and s.e.xy. She fit her collection perfectly.

"No need. Tell her we won't work with her anymore. I have someone in mind." Yan Mei said.

"Is there anything else?" Yan Mei asked the executives.

The executives widened their eyes in surprise. This is the most comfortable meeting they have had since they joined this company.

Now their Boss was asking them if they have anything to say. This is the first time their Boss has asked them this question. She always walked out on them the moment the meeting ends.

The executives made a mental note to hug Lei Zhao's thighs. Just one call from him and their Boss's mood was this good.

They shook their head aggressively.

Yan Mei nodded and stood up, "Thank you all for your hard work."

Then she was gone before they could respond, with Su Bei following behind her.

An uproar broke out in the conference room once Yan Mei left. Now everyone was curious about the man who has been able to tame their iron-lady.

------

The moment Lei Zhao hung up the call, Ye Xing entered.

"Boss." He called out politely, making Lei Zhao looked up from his desk.

"Ye Xing? Anything urgent?" Lei Zhao asked.

"Sorry to disturb you, Boss, but Mr. Andre wanted you to come personally to New York to sign the contract. His daughter suddenly got sick, and he can't leave her to come to China."

Lei Zhao heaved a sigh, analyzing the situation. Although he didn't want to leave Yan Mei, he knew the importance of this contract. It was what he has been working hard for all these years. He couldn���t let this chance go. After having a debate with himself, Lei Zhao finally decided to go to New York. He would deal with the business and quickly come home.

"Okay, arrange the meeting in two days."

Ye Xing nodded, "Alright, Boss. Is there anything you want me to do?"

"No."

Ye Xing nodded before leaving the office.

Lei Zhao blew out air. If it were any other day, he wouldn't mind leaving, but the thought of leaving his wife alone to sleep on a cold bed bothered him. He has gotten used to sleeping beside him, hearing her soft snore.

Gosh, he was totally whipped that he couldn't bear to leave his wife for a few days.

"I will make sure to come back early." Lei Zhao mumbled as he envisioned Yan Mei's reaction when he tells her.

But as they say, not everything goes as planned. If Lei Zhao knew the demons waiting to swallow him on this trip, he wouldn't have gone.
