Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: New Car (1/2)
“Squeakk.” Trip? Sure.
Xiao Yu answered half-heartedly as he played his game.
Yan Jin: ……
Chairman Yan, who thought that it would not an easy feat to convince his hamster, hid the five-centimeter thick packet of information behind him.
“Squeak?” Why did you take a step back?
Xiao Yu squinted his eyes as he doubtfully glanced at Yan Jin.
“Nothing.” Yan Jin, who was puzzled by the situation, pretended to be firm: “Where shall we go then…?”
“Squeakk?” You still have vacation days to take?
Xiao Yu’s random question hit the bullseye.
The Lunar New Year holidays had just passed. YL should have a lot of things to do. It would look bad to take a vacation leave during such a critical period.
“Of course. There are new vacation days for the new year.”
As if he had completely ditched his image as a hardworking chairman, Yan Jin spoke with absolute confidence.
“Squeakk.” Alright then. When are we going?
Xiao Yu seemed to pick up an interest as he moved away from the iPad and jumped into Yan Jin’s hand.
As the hamster nested himself onto the human’s hand, he suddenly felt like both of them had not done such an intimate interaction for a very long time.
Maybe it was just him overthinking. After all, they were together every day.
“… Tomorrow then.” Yan Jin did not hesitate too long before he made a decision.
“Squeakk?” That fast? Did you make arrangements already?
Xiao Yu was very surprised.
“Yeah. It’s mostly done.”
Yan Jin said it with such determination and deadly earnest that he almost convinced himself that it was the truth.
In fact, the reason why the chairman was in a hurry was because he was worried that Xiao Yu would fall out with him and become hostile again.
Yan Jin was determined to not fall for the same trick twice.
“Squeak.” Then where are we going?
“Where do you want to go?”
“Squeakk?” Didn’t you make arrangements already?
Xiao Yu felt very perplexed. It was as if Yan Jin was on a different channel.
“I did make arrangements already, so you can go wherever you like.”
The stack of papers in Yan Jin’s hands was still warm to touch. Just as he was about to present the information, he heard –
Squeakk.
Then let’s go to Four Seasons Manor.
“……” The hand that had shifted halfway out retreated again.
Yan Jin gritted his teeth in silence and forced a smile on his face: “Sure. If we’re going to the Four Seasons Manor, then I won’t be getting a chauffeur. We can bring more things with us this time. I’ll show you my new car.”
He said it extremely sullenly.
“Squeakk?” You don’t seem so willing?
Xiao Yu raised his head and blinked his little eyes at Yan Jin, making it impossible for the man to be angry.
“How could that be?” Yan Jin lifted Xiao Yu up and kissed his little stomach: “As long as it is for Fishy, I’m willing to do anything.”
As if he were burning, Xiao Yu awkwardly turned his face away as he mumbled about how Yan Jin was so good at coaxing that he could tell with one look that the man was up to no good.
If an audience heard such a conclusion, they would surely be dumbstruck.
That Yan Jin? That YL’s Yan Jin? That Yan Jin whose smile would mean misfortune for the other person, who was so cold like he had a freezer that would freeze the atmosphere wherever he went… he was good at coaxing?
See no evil, hear no evil.
On the same day, Chairman Yan who assumed that taking leave was such a small matter, called his secretary to ask how many vacation days and sick days he had not used yet. However, before the person on the other side of the phone could answer, the call was taken over by his fellow colleague.
“Yan Jin, you *——–*! I’m telling you now that if you plan to go on a holiday for ten-odd days with your little lover, you shall witness me tearing down your company!” Such a tone was so recognizable that he did not even need to announce his name.
Actually prepared to take ten-odd days of leave, Yan Jin felt slightly guilty at that moment. But he did not lose his vigor as he replied, “Who is the current chairman? Move aside, let Secretary Fang answer.”
“Dafug, you’re too much! The largest shareholder transferred his shares only a few days ago. Your position is still unstable and yet you dare to leave your house? Are you sick of living? Do you know that those hitmen from both sides of the world are watching you like a tasty drumstick and you still dare to go on a holiday…?”
“Speak like a human being.”
Yan Jin did not even bother to ridicule Shao Yue as the man would spout all sorts of things when he was agitated. Despite that, he would still miss his main point.
“…… There’s something going on with the He family. I need to make a trip there next week. I don’t have time to take care of your company.”
“When are you going next week?”
“Next Monday! Tuesday… Wednesday, or latest by Thursday. Milord, just give me a break, will you?”
“I’ll be back next Thursday. It’s settled then.”
Shao Yue lowered the phone as he sighed in relief. At the same time, he was a little regretful that he had loosened the restrictions under Yan Jin’s duress.
Secretary Fang, who had witnessed the whole incident, once again gained full respect for Yan Jin.
This was what people described as, ‘Mighty without words with an aura made by heaven’.
