Chapter 883: Chapter 883
Lu Cen: "No problem, of course not, I specifically made time today to visit Miss Ye."
"Alright then, Xianxian you..."
"I'm finished." Ye Xian put down the bowl and looked at Lu Cen, "Shall we go?"
Ye Shaowen hurriedly put down his bowl and called after them, "Xiao Yezi, go straight to the top floor and find the CEO of DMSE. I've already given him your contract. The meeting is scheduled for nine..."
Ye Xian scratched her ear, and Lu Cen, seeing her reluctance, opened the car door, "What's wrong? Miss Ye, you seem unhappy?"
"You saw it too, Second Brother always treats me like a child, making decisions for me and wanting to handle everything personally. Actually, I can do it myself."
Lu Cen smiled slightly, "Second Brother Ye is just very concerned about you. After all, you're his only sister."
Ye Xian looked at him, her eyes turning, "You're the only son of the Lu family. You must be strictly controlled too, right?"
"Yes, it's the family tradition. It's not just me being strictly required, but all the younger ones are too."
"So you came to find me today because your grandfather sent you, right? Since we're both just doing it for our families, why not go our separate ways and handle your own affairs? No need to waste your time with me."
"How can that be? If entrusted by someone, one must be loyal to their task. Since I've promised your parents, I will certainly see you through."
Ye Xian: "..." She forgot he was the heir of an Ancient Martial Family.
"Besides..." Lu Cen's voice dropped, "Does Miss Ye think I came to find you solely because of family reasons?"
Ye Xian raised her eyebrows, wasn't that the case?
Seeing her clear and straightforward expression, without any complex emotions, Lu Cen couldn't help but chuckle, "Miss Ye is so exceptional, I genuinely want to be friends with you."
Ye Xian laughed, "Thank you, I feel the same way."
On the way, Lu Cen sporadically found topics to chat with her about. As they were nearing DMSE Tower, Ye Xian received a message.
[Bo Tingshen]: Are you here yet?
Ye Xian's hand trembled, and she quickly replied: Almost, almost there!
The distance from here to Golden Palm Villa is quite close. She'll first inform the DMSE CEO about delaying the contract, and then head straight over, it should be quick!
Lu Cen: "What's wrong, Miss Ye?"
Ye Xian put away her phone, "Thank you for bringing me here, take it slow on your way back."
As she spoke and was about to close the car door, Lu Cen also got out.
"Miss Ye didn't bring an assistant or bodyguard today. Why not let me go up with you? A big star like you always needs someone by their side when signing a contract."
"Uh..." Ye Xian thought for a moment, "Alright!"
If the CEO calls to urge her later, she can leave Lu Cen here to handle it.
The two walked into the DMSE Headquarters together, and the manager in the reception hall, upon seeing Ye Xian, quickly approached with a wide smile, "Mr. Ye, you're here~ Our CEO has been waiting in the office for a long time! This way..."
The VIP exclusive elevator went straight to the eighty-eighth floor, where Ye Xian immediately saw the spacious and bright luxury integrated CEO's office.
DMSE Entertainment is the only company in the industry comparable to Starlight Entertainment. Although its headquarters are overseas, its domestic entertainment industry development is equally impressive, with a taller building than Star Entertainment and more luxurious decor. The style, however, is quite similar, understated yet luxurious, exuding a noble elegance, especially the layout of this office, which is remarkably similar to the Starlight CEO's office.
Ye Xian got out of the elevator and walked past the assistant's work area toward the stairs leading to the office.
In the expansive CEO's office, abundant sunlight shined through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a radiant glow across the floor, stretching the silhouette of the man sitting behind the desk, tall and upright.
A shadow was cast on the bright marble floor, drawing attention.
Ye Xian walked in to see a man sitting behind the leather office chair, backlit, facing away from her, with his right hand resting slightly on the chair's shoulder, revealing an exquisite Patek Philippe watch, as if admiring the view from the tall building or waiting for someone's arrival.
Not thinking much of it, she nodded slightly and said, "Hello, I'm Ye Xian."
As she finished speaking, the man in the office chair slowly turned around.
The first thing she saw was a pair of shiny Chelsea boots, then the harsh black trousers, crisp and straight, leading up to a finely tailored high-end suit...
Why does this attire and familiar figure look so much alike!
She instantly looked up, and upon seeing the man's handsome and stern face, was almost frightened into falling right there, "C-C-C-C... CEO?! Why is it you?"
Bo Tingshen took a last glance at the time, precisely nine o'clock, "Ye Xian, you did arrive rather quickly."
"Eh, eh eh, it's not... C-CEO, let me explain!"
The man raised his eyes, the depths cold and obscure, "You really wouldn't make my appointment, couldn't wait to leave me, not even for a second."
Ye Xian waved her hands repeatedly, "No! I actually wanted to tell the DMSE CEO that I won't be signing with DMSE..."
"Ye Xian, what's wrong?"
Lu Cen, who was waiting in the rest area outside, rushed in when he heard Ye Xian's panicked voice.
Upon seeing him, Bo Tingshen's dark eyes were full of venom, as if he were staring at a dead man, "You came with him?"
Seeing Lu Cen beside her, Ye Xian's feet seemed to have springs, bouncing a meter away in fright, "No! It was just a coincidence!" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelFɪre.net
Upon seeing Bo Tingshen, Lu Cen's concerned expression immediately turned hostile.
"President Bo, do you have a problem?"
Bo Tingshen stood up, a touch of coldness emerging in his dark and deep eyes. He walked over, making a gesture as if to grab Ye Xian. Before he did, he made a feint, a classic move from the Ancient Martial Sect's attacks, capable of easily dislocating a person's jaw.
Seeing this, Lu Cen almost reflexively went up to protect Ye Xian.
This despicable man! How dare he hit a woman!
He intervened with a horizontal chop, knocking Bo Tingshen's right hand away with a heavy 'smack', startling Ye Xian. Following it with a heavy punch, he forcefully knocked the man's tall figure flat. Fortunately, Bo Tingshen supported himself against the desk and did not fall to the ground. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ye Xian's pupils dilated. She pushed Lu Cen away and supported the slightly trembling man, "CEO, CEO, are you okay?"
Bo Tingshen, in pain, couldn't speak, only panting intermittently and struggling to straighten himself.
"Why did you hit him?! Don't you know how heavy a martial artist's punch can be?"
Ye Xian was extremely distressed, looking angrily at Lu Cen. Her burning gaze caused him to slowly withdraw his hand, which was still suspended in mid-air.
Even though he used a bit of force this time, it was nothing compared to the last time he acted against him at the banquet. With the skills he showed last time, Bo Tingshen could have completely dodged or even counter-attacked. Even if hit, it wouldn't be this weak.
