My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1830: A Narrow Escape from One’s Enemy

In the days that followed, life slowly returned to its usual peace.

On Monday, since there was nothing much to do, Leng Ruobing didn’t go to work but stayed home with Xiao Zheng to enjoy their rare time alone. As for Chu Xiaoran, she had to go to the film set all by herself.

It would take her at least three days before she could come home.

Xiao Zheng spent the entire day at home with Leng Ruobing, but by Tuesday, his good days were over. Since there was another meeting at Qianqiu Group, Leng Ruobing had to return to the company.

Naturally, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t let her go out alone, so he had to go to work with her.

For him, staying at the company was undoubtedly quite boring.

After watching Leng Ruobing enter her office, Xiao Zheng put his hands in his pockets, planning to head to his own office. First, he’d play Minesweeper for a bit, then take a nap.

But just as he was settling in, Mo Anna walked in.

"You finally decided to show up, huh?"

"You’ve disappeared for so long without even a phone call or a text. I almost thought you had vanished off the face of the earth."

Mo Anna walked up to Xiao Zheng with a teasing look.

However, her eyes were filled with deep longing.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and immediately pulled her into his arms: "I had my reasons, went abroad for a while. Just got back a couple of days ago, I’ve been so busy I could faint."

Upon hearing his words, Mo Anna couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, saying, "You dare say you’re busy? Can you be busier than me? I’ve practically been managing everything in the company by myself."

"In the past, I at least had Mr. Leng to help, but now that she’s pregnant, she seldom comes to the company. Now there’s no one to help me at all."

"Is the company really busy lately?" Xiao Zheng asked, somewhat puzzled, "But I heard from Ruobing that there isn’t much going on at the company lately."

"There’s no major stuff, but a bunch of minor things." Mo Anna sighed and said, "I’m swamped with so much work that I don’t even have time to go for a spa treatment."

"I don’t care, you must give me a raise."

Upon hearing her, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh: "A raise! Definitely a raise! Whatever you say! If it doesn’t work, I don’t mind something more personal!"

"Keep dreaming!" Mo Anna rolled her eyes at him and swatted away the hand that was being naughty on her waist, "I warn you, without my permission, you can only benefit me in future, and not the other way around, got it?"

Hearing her, Xiao Zheng helplessly said: "Who’s ever heard of such a one-sided deal? Besides, I’m here to show my talent, not to sell my body. Don’t try to force the issue."

Mo Anna burst into laughter: "Talking to someone like you, seriousness just flies out the window. To think I used to be such a straightforward woman, now I’ve completely turned bad because of you."

"Sister Mo, what you said is a bit hurtful." Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "You may be a pure woman, but wasn’t I once a man pure as a blank sheet of paper?"

"At most, we’re just evenly matched, each with our merits."

"Oh, please, it was definitely you who led me astray." Mo Anna snorted softly, saying, "I can’t be bothered arguing with you, I need to get going."

"Hmm? Where are you going?" Xiao Zheng asked with some curiosity.

Hearing this, Mo Anna replied: "I’m going to be busy, of course. I just happened to pass by your office and saw the door was open, so I thought I’d come in and check on you. The group recently invested in a movie, and I arranged to meet the lead actor today at the company."

"By the looks of the time, they should be arriving soon."

"There’s such a thing? Who’s the lead actor? Is he as handsome as me?" Xiao Zheng continued to ask.

Upon hearing his words, Mo Anna couldn’t bear to tease him anymore and said: "In my heart, you’re the most handsome man in the world. But this actor is quite talented, he’s a rising star,

his name is Cheng Ziwei. He recently won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Newcomer, pretty much the current hot topic."

Although Xiao Zheng wasn’t much into the entertainment industry, he had heard of the name: "If that’s the case, I might as well tag along later. It’s not like I have anything else to do in the office, might as well come with you to take a look."

"Alright, if you wish to come, I certainly won’t object." Mo Anna checked the time and then said, "I arranged to meet with Cheng Ziwei’s manager at half-past ten, just keep an eye on the time and come find me in the small conference room."

"Okay, see you later." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Mo Anna then gave him a light peck on the cheek before swaying her hips as she walked out of his office.

After she left, Xiao Zheng continued playing Minesweeper.

Around half-past ten, he turned off the game and prepared to head to the small conference room. The small conference room was on the eighteenth floor, usually used for departmental meetings.

Although Xiao Zheng hadn’t attended many meetings, he knew where the small conference room was located.

Along the way, many people recognized his identity.

Ever since it was known that Xiao Zheng was the man behind the scenes, who personally dealt with the Great White Shark, the company’s staff held him in great awe. As he stepped out of the elevator, everyone greeted him with respect.

Such an attitude from everyone made Xiao Zheng feel quite uneasy.

But there was nothing he could do to change it. Given his status, even if he deliberately tried to appear approachable, no one would dare treat him as an equal.

As Xiao Zheng reached the door to the small conference room, he saw two people approaching from a distance.

A man and a woman—it turned out to be Cheng Ziwei and his manager.

Seeing Cheng Ziwei inside the company left Xiao Zheng momentarily stunned. He still hadn’t figured out who Cheng Ziwei was.

As for Cheng Ziwei, upon seeing him, he also stood frozen in place.

The middle-aged woman, seeing him stop, curiously asked, "Ziwei, what’s wrong? We’re almost at the appointed time. If we don’t hurry and get there, we might be late, leaving a bad impression on the investors."

She urged him, but Cheng Ziwei’s face only grew more displeased.

In the end, Cheng Ziwei glared at Xiao Zheng, nearly gritting his teeth in anger: "Enemies truly meet on narrow roads! I never thought I’d run into you here!"

Xiao Zheng, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh.
