Chapter 429 - 422: Misgivings
Those so-called business elites who once dominated the market are now stumped over the issue of whether their pregnant wives will throw up.
Looking at their big boss’s cold face, their hearts began to pound.
Leng Yichen originally wanted to seek advice from his subordinates who were already fathers, but it turned out to be like playing music to a cow.
Leng Yichen waved his hand, "Meeting adjourned."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked out of the conference room, afraid that Mr. Leng would bring up some other trivial issues.
However, they did not dare to underestimate Leng Yichen’s question. As soon as they left the conference room, they started calling their wives to ask what it was like when they were pregnant, whether they vomited, and how to alleviate morning sickness.
This made their wives feel baffled and suspect that their husbands were seeing someone else, causing an uproar at home.
Leng Yichen was completely unaware that his question had triggered a family war among his subordinates.
When he returned to the conference room, Wang Hai was already waiting inside.
"How did it go?" Leng Yichen walked in and sat in the boss’s chair.
"Chen Zhu is different from his cousin Chen Bei. He just got out, and his wife and kids are gone. He’s short of money, so he started working with Chen Bei. He’s the typical lazy and cowardly type. I had a friend approach him on purpose, and after a few words, he opened up to them. Chen Bei doesn’t let him do anything too high-level, just runs errands. That day, following the madam was instructed by Chen Bei himself, and he specifically ordered not to harm the madam even a little, or he wouldn’t be forgiven."
Hearing Wang Hai’s words, Leng Yichen pinched the bridge of his nose.
Wang Hai continued, "It seems Wu Chengzu doesn’t want to hurt the madam."
Learning that Wu Chengzu didn’t want to harm Bai Yiran, Leng Yichen felt slightly relieved, but another concern arose.
He is Bai Yiran’s husband. He loves her, cherishes her, and is tender to her, so he can’t bear for her to be hurt in the slightest.
What’s Wu Chengzu’s reason for not wanting to harm Bai Yiran? Could it also be because he loves her, cherishes her, and is tender towards her?
Actually, Leng Yichen already had the answer in his heart.
This morning, he had just met with a client, a young man with a strong scent of cologne.
Bai Yiran couldn’t really adapt to this smell, enduring the churning in her stomach while communicating with him.
"So, I hope your company can lower the price a bit, so everyone will be happy," the client said in heavily accented American English, his overly precise pronunciation making Bai Yiran somewhat disgusted, as she knew he wasn’t a returning overseas Chinese.
"I’m afraid that’s not possible. The price we’ve offered is already the most reasonable. Doing business requires a win-win situation, right?"
Bai Yiran, suppressing her nausea, decisively rejected the client’s request.
The client obviously did not expect Bai Yiran to reject him so decisively, his expression somewhat awkward. Honestly, when he saw that the person was a young girl like Bai Yiran, he had already intended to make things difficult for her. In his view, Bai Yiran was just a pretty face, usually girls who look good aren’t very smart.
Bai Yiran noticed the client’s displeasure and also saw the disdain in his eyes. She had seen such looks many times before and was immune, her smile remained just as appropriate.
In her view, since the client could make such an untenable request regarding the price, it showed that, in his mind, there were already two possible outcomes.
One being she would agree, the other she would not.
She simply gave a response that the client had already contemplated, with no need for apprehension.
