My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 297 - 283: The Atmosphere of Gossip_2

Listening to Ye Lingran’s flustered explanation, Cen Jin laughed: "Why are you so nervous? I didn’t mean anything else. Didn’t Yun Xi leave her phone and bag here yesterday? I was thinking, since you’re heading to Yun Group, you can take Yun Xi’s phone and wallet with you.""Ah, oh, okay." Ye Lingran smiled and nodded: "I’ll take them to her when I go over in the afternoon."

"Alright, I’m probably going to be working overtime every day for the next few days."

"That’s tough. If you need any help, feel free to ask."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be polite with you."

"I’m afraid you’ll be too polite with me!"

After casually chatting with Ye Lingran, Cen Jin focused her attention on her design work, getting so busy that she only got up when she really couldn’t hold it in anymore.

At lunchtime, Ling Quan ordered takeout, but Cen Jin only ate a few bites before getting back to work, dragging Liu Zhiyan and Fan Yunru along into the busy hustle, with hardly any time to rest.

At two in the afternoon, Ye Lingran took a cab to Yun Group. Since she had an appointment with the manager of the purchasing department, she didn’t go to Yun Xi’s office first but headed straight to the purchasing department on the 8th floor.

The purchasing manager immediately stood up to welcome Ye Lingran, his smile very ingratiating: "Miss Ye is here, please have a seat, please have a seat. Secretary Zhang, quickly make a cup of Americano for Miss Ye." Then he turned to Ye Lingran: "Miss Ye, are you okay with Americano? If not..."

"No worries, no worries, I’m okay with it." Faced with the enthusiasm of the purchasing manager, Ye Lingran felt a bit uncomfortable, unsure where this fawning and flattery came from.

"That’s good, that’s good." The purchasing manager sighed relief, looking at the secretary standing at the door: "Secretary Zhang, what are you standing there for? Quickly go make coffee for Miss Ye!"

"Yes." Secretary Zhang hesitated, then quickly nodded in agreement.

"Manager Qu, here’s the thing, a few days ago, my assistant came over to pick up some materials, today I’m here to check the list."

"When Miss Ye called me yesterday, I had everything ready." With that, Manager Qu stood up, walked to his desk, and pulled out a rose-colored list from among many folders: "Actually, the quantity you need, Miss Ye, is nothing for our company. I’ve already reported to President Yun before, and he said no need to follow the usual procedures, you’re too polite, Miss Ye."

"Even though the quantity isn’t large, it’s better to follow the rules." Ye Lingran smiled lightly and took the list, checked the total accounts, and nodded: "Thank you, Manager Qu."

"You’re welcome, it’s what I should do." Manager Qu waved his hand: "Oh, right, Miss Ye, before transferring money, you still need to go to the finance department to sign off, since you chose to follow procedures, if you don’t sign, it’ll be hard to explain when they audit it later."

"I understand." Ye Lingran smiled and nodded, slowly getting up: "Then I won’t disturb you, Manager Qu, I’ll head to the finance department now."

"Won’t Miss Ye stay a bit longer? My secretary is almost done making coffee."

"Thank you for the offer, Manager Qu, but I’ll skip the coffee this time. I’ll come for it next time. I’ve got something to do later, so I’ll take my leave now."

"Alright, alright, then Miss Ye, take care. If there’s anything in the future, do let me know, and I’ll do my best to help."

"Thank you, Manager Qu."

After Ye Lingran left, Secretary Zhang walked in with the coffee, a bit perplexed to find only Manager Qu there: "Manager Qu, where’s Miss Ye?"

"By the time you brought the coffee, New Year was long passed, she left long ago."

"Ah... sorry, Mr. Zhao was making coffee, so I waited a bit longer."

"Can’t you prioritize tasks? Couldn’t you ask him to wait instead?" Manager Qu looked at her exaggeratedly, clapping his hands: "Do you know who Ye Lingran is? She’s President Yun’s fiancée, you have no sense of perception!"

"Ah? Fiancée? Really?" Secretary Zhang widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing.

"Do you remember the scandal with President Yun last time?"

"Yes, I remember."

Secretary Zhang sipped her coffee, raising her eyebrows comfortably: "Anyone who knows Ye Lingran can see it’s her! And most importantly, President Yun didn’t deny it! Doesn’t that equate to admitting it? Plus, considering Director Yun and Ye Lingran’s relationship, it’s clear that Ye Lingran will be the president’s wife in the future. Shouldn’t you be building a strong relationship now instead of waiting?"
