Chapter 356: Chapter 356 Brother Ying, I Want to Learn Martial Arts
Now, with Chen Yan’s identity and status rising and his achievements becoming increasingly impressive, his prestige within the entire group was also growing heavier.
Therefore, it only took a phone call and less than two minutes for He Mengxue and Zhao Ying to arrive at Chen Yan’s office.
However, once inside the office, the attitudes of the two were dramatically different.
During working hours, He Mengxue always maintained a strictly professional demeanor towards Chen Yan, so she respectfully stood before the desk.
As usual, Zhao Ying greeted Chen Yan with a wave of her hand and then started wandering around the office.
Chen Yan didn’t mind. After all, Zhao Ying wouldn’t understand the preceding matters.
Thus, he ignored Zhao Ying, who was wandering aimlessly, and opened his folder to hand He Mengxue the investment intention documents he had annotated last night, "Have a look."
He Mengxue received the documents with both hands before sitting down on the sofa to review Chen Yan’s annotations.
As she flipped through the documents, He Mengxue’s frown deepened page by page.
However, mature as she was, she didn’t speak up immediately but continued flipping through.
Only after reviewing all the documents did He Mengxue close the file and, after pondering for a moment, asked composedly, "President Chen, your choices... I don’t quite understand."
Since He Mengxue had entered the room, Chen Yan’s gaze had stayed fixed on her.
It must be said, the woman was indeed stunningly beautiful.
Compared to Lu Man and Yu Qiao Qiao, she had the aura of a well-bred woman of social standing. Furthermore, having been through several years in society and holding a high position, she carried an air of a strong independent woman.
That aura... made men feel a desire to conquer her at first sight.
Especially since she was naturally very beautiful, with skin white as snow, a striking figure, naturally curly long hair, and wearing pointy silver high heels that accentuated her slender calves, exuding an inner allure that especially captivated men...
The only issue was her domineering personality, always scheming to be the ’main wife’ and wanting to drive away other women.
Thus, Chen Yan was somewhat reluctant to interact with her.
In conclusion, she was like a wild horse, unfortunately not yet tamed by Chen Yan.
Under Chen Yan’s gaze, He Mengxue articulated all her thoughts clearly. And yet... Chen Yan wasn’t listening at all.
Perhaps noticing his distraction, He Mengxue frowned slightly and then lowered her head to cough.
The cough startled Chen Yan, making him inadvertently glance at her.
Seeing He Mengxue roll her eyes at him, Chen Yan felt rather embarrassed.
Had he really been so lost in thought staring at He Mengxue?
How embarrassing!
And... this realization made Chen Yan somewhat more cautious.
Originally, he had thought knowing He Mengxue’s inner thoughts would keep him on guard and prevent him from developing feelings for her.
But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.
Males, by nature, are biologically programmed to spread their DNA to as many females as possible, to have ample offspring.
Thus, when a member of the opposite sex shows interest, regardless of how unacceptable they might seem objectively, one would subconsciously be drawn to them or pay them more attention.
This also aligns with the principle of "when a girl pursues a boy, it’s as if only a layer of gauze separates them."
Realizing he was showing signs of this as well, Chen Yan quickly became alert: He mustn’t be careless; He Mengxue was not someone easy to handle...
While dispelling these thoughts, Chen Yan coughed and then said, "I heard what you just said."
He Mengxue pursed her lips and rolled her eyes on the side.
Chen Yan pretended not to see and continued, "However, I don’t want to explain too much."
"There only needs to be one voice in the company."
"Since you trust me and are willing to start a business with me, then you should trust me."
After hearing this, He Mengxue’s brows furrowed again. Clearly, this explanation did not satisfy her.
But Chen Yan did not elaborate further and simply said, "This matter is settled. Our next two targets are Headline Technology and Dida Taxi. Any issues?"
Seeing Chen Yan’s assertiveness, what could He Mengxue say?
After all, didn’t she agree to collaborate with Chen Yan precisely because she valued his judgment?
So, she could only shake her head.
But after shaking her head, she added, "However, President Chen, there are too many eyes on Headline, I think we won’t be able to secure it."
Chen Yan just waved his hand, "Do your best in negotiating. Communicate well, try to secure it."
He Mengxue: ...
He Mengxue felt Chen Yan’s statement was no different from saying nothing.
Of course, they’d try their best to secure the plan after deciding on it.
But... as the boss, is that all you’d do?
While He Mengxue was pondering this, Chen Yan added, "If you can’t do it, let me know."
Saying this, Chen Yan took out his phone, checked it, and then continued, "Let’s set a limit of seven days. If you can’t secure it within seven days, just let me know."
"I will personally take action."
Hearing this, even though He Mengxue rationally thought that even if Chen Yan personally took action, there was a 99% chance they wouldn’t secure the project, she somehow felt incredibly reassured...
After discussing work, Chen Yan began to see her out, "Alright, Meng Xue, you can go back first. I’ll have a few more words with Zhao Ying."
He Mengxue glanced at Zhao Ying, who was squatting on the ground studying the sofa wheels in Chen Yan’s office, nodded her head, stood up, and elegantly walked out of the office.
As she walked toward the office door and passed by Chen Yan, she suddenly paused, bent down, and whispered in Chen Yan’s ear, "President Chen, if you like watching, you can come to my house to watch slowly. My legs aren’t the only pretty things about me~~"
After speaking, she chuckled lightly and then left the office.
Being flirted with so closely by He Mengxue, half of Chen Yan’s body went numb.
But he quickly recollected the "ambitious inner thoughts" he had heard from He Mengxue before, which helped him suppress the stirrings in his heart...
After sending He Mengxue away, Chen Yan’s gaze fell on Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying was a very peculiar girl, living in her own world, doing things that others could not understand, yet logical to herself.
She possessed an innocent heart and an easygoing attitude towards everything.
She had perseverance for martial arts and profound insights into the relationship between humans and nature.
While some might not like her, Chen Yan felt very comfortable around her.
Unfortunately... Chen Yan could not accept a woman braver than him.
However, not being able to accept her allowed Chen Yan to proceed more freely with his own plans.
Thinking this, Chen Yan, following his plan from the previous night, said to Zhao Ying, "Brother Ying, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Hearing Chen Yan’s call, Zhao Ying lifted her head, her cute face full of confusion and her black eyes curiously watching Chen Yan.
Under Zhao Ying’s gaze, Chen Yan stood up, walked over to her, and bowed deeply, "Brother Ying, I want to learn martial arts!"
Zhao Ying, squatting on the ground, had a bunch of question marks popping up over her head.
’What the heck?’
’Weren’t you the least interested in martial arts? Why suddenly want to learn?’
Zhao Ying awkwardly scratched her head and then innocently asked, "Why do you suddenly want to learn martial arts?"
Chen Yan straightened up, looked at her, and seriously said, "Because, I’ve suddenly realized that I actually love martial arts."
"Martial arts, our national essence. It can be used offensively and also for physical health. So, after thoughtful consideration, since I’m in such good physical condition and have such high talent, I should learn martial arts!"
"What do you think?"
Zhao Ying, staring at Chen Yan’s serious expression, felt a bit puzzled.
She could sense Chen Yan’s sincerity, and her intuition also told her Chen Yan "genuinely wanted to learn martial arts," but... she just felt something odd.
It was a strange feeling.
She felt there was an ulterior motive behind Chen Yan’s intentions, but she couldn’t pinpoint what that ulterior motive could be...
However, being an inheritor of Bagua Palm and facing someone who wanted to learn martial arts, Zhao Ying found it hard to refuse. Coupled with aligning views, she no longer thought Chen Yan was strange, and her favorable impression started to rise, rise, rise...
After pondering for a while, she stood up, patted Chen Yan’s shoulder, "Since you are so earnest about learning martial arts, I will reluctantly accept you!"
"But I’ll tell you in advance, practicing martial arts is very tiring. Can you persevere?"
Without any hesitation, Chen Yan nodded, "I can persevere!"
After saying that, he silently added a few words in his heart: persevere till the end of the month...
Seeing Chen Yan’s sincerity, Zhao Ying felt somewhat reassured.
Because she believed, it must be her agile posture and persistent perseverance that had moved this strange person. Making this strange person finally realize that practicing martial arts was interesting! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
With this thought, she said, "Alright! Then it’s settled!"
"Starting today, you’re my disciple."
Saying this, Zhao Ying added, "If that’s the case, take off your clothes first."
Chen Yan: ??
