The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 40 - 40 37 036 Racing

40: Chapter 37 Chapter 036: Racing 40: Chapter 37 Chapter 036: Racing Dashing along the road, Ye Chen chased after Li Ruo, following her straight down from Xiangming Mountain.

Luckily, the girl slowed down when she got into the city roads; otherwise, who knows what kind of accident could have happened.

Ye Chen drove the BMW, inhaling the fragrance of a woman, always feeling that the car’s interior was made too feminine.

It was supposed to be a man’s car, the domineering presence of a Z4 was certainly not something the average woman could handle.

However, this also showed Li Ruo’s competitiveness.

If she were a regular woman, she definitely wouldn’t choose a domineering sports car like the Z4, which was beyond the control of most people’s nerves.

Li Ruo was a strong-willed woman, to put it plainly, a powerful female figure.

Such women always had a desire to conquer in their hearts.

No wonder Li Ruo didn’t have an official boyfriend by her side yet.

The car slowly stopped at a viewing point on Coastal Avenue.

A stretch of Coastal Avenue along the coastline had been set up as a viewing point, where many people came for sightseeing during holidays.

The scenic view at the viewing point on Coastal Avenue was excellent—you could see the sunrise in the morning, so there were quite a few people exercising here.

Now, in the late morning, many people hadn’t left yet.

“What are we doing here?” Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo curiously.

“Oh, just clearing my mind,” Li Ruo glanced at Ye Chen and said, “Tomorrow is Monday, do you have a clear plan for the security work for the opening ceremony?”

“Come on, can we not talk about work on a holiday?” Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder into the viewing pavilion and sat down on a stone bench.

Li Ruo wore casual shorts, a snow-white T-shirt, a duckbill hat, and a pair of huge pink toad sunglasses that almost covered her entire delicate face.

She looked at Ye Chen and said, “I’m just concerned about the security that day; you don’t understand Tianya Group’s current situation.”

“What’s going on with Tianya Group?” Ye Chen was startled.

As it stood, Tianya Group seemed to be one of the top groups in Z province, right?

Could there be some internal problems?

Ye Chen frowned and said, “Such a huge group can’t possibly run into any big trouble, can it?”

Li Ruo sighed, stood up, and walked to the railing, leaning on it.

She gazed at the endless sea with a deep look, remaining silent, while Ye Chen’s gaze fell on Li Ruo’s tall and perfect figure.

It had to be said, Li Ruo’s legs were symmetrical and slender.

For a woman, aside from her face, she must also have a pair of proportionate and slender legs.

Otherwise, even if the face is beautiful, it’s just an empty shell.

White casual shorts, a pair of perfect, slender “jade legs,” and a round and perky backside—these were all deeply tempting.

“What are you looking at?” Suddenly, Li Ruo turned around, only to find that Ye Chen’s gaze was fixed on her lower body.

Li Ruo’s brows immediately furrowed, and she glared at Ye Chen angrily, “Bastard, watch it or I’ll gouge out those dog eyes of yours!”

“…” Ye Chen was taken aback.

This woman was indeed too tough, so formidable that it was a bit hard to handle.

He laughed awkwardly and said, “I can’t help it; isn’t a woman born beautiful so that people can look?”

“Hmph!” Li Ruo, a woman, liked to be complimented and flattered by men.

A few words immediately filled Li Ruo with a sense of vanity.

Suddenly, Li Ruo felt strange; why didn’t she get a sense of vanity when other men complimented her, but Ye Chen could make her feel such pleasure?

Li Ruo glanced at Ye Chen strangely and said, “Actually, I don’t know why, but Tianya Group is facing a very difficult problem.

Recently, someone has been targeting Tianya Group intentionally or unintentionally!”

“Who could it be?” Ye Chen was stunned.

“I’m not sure!” Li Ruo shook her head and said, “From a series of actions on the stock market, it’s probably our old rival Si Yang Group!”

“Si Yang Group?!” Ye Chen was startled and immediately began collecting extensive information about Si Yang Group in his mind.

He asked curiously, “Are you sure?

Si Yang Group is so far behind Tianya Group, even though they are both Z province enterprise groups.

But looking at the annual net profit, they couldn’t possibly compete with you!”

“Yes, open competition is indeed impossible, but why can’t underhanded competition happen?” Li Ruo brushed her hair and glanced at Ye Chen, saying, “There’s always been a dispute of interest between Si Yang Group and Tianya Group, and not just Si Yang Group—Red Sun Group, Great Development Group, and several other groups are all secretly sabotaging Tianya Group.”

It’s in the nature of businessmen to seek profit.

Where there are businessmen, there is conflict; Ye Chen understood this very well.

Let’s not even talk about the businessman’s world; wasn’t the Golden Triangle the same?

Drugs, weapons, women…

all commodities to those big bosses in the Golden Triangle.

For these things, they wouldn’t hesitate to fight.

“Isn’t that all pretty normal?” Ye Chen smiled and said, “As long as there’s a transaction of interest, there will be conflicts.

Even a small office has intrigues and toxic atmosphere; how much more so in the business world?”

“You’re right, but not entirely!” Li Ruo nodded, took off her glasses, and hung them on her shirt collar.

The glasses had some weight, which immediately pulled the collar down a bit.

Unintentionally, she exposed a bit of scenery.

Ye Chen glanced over and was immediately captivated by the lush abundance inside.

Li Ruo looked at the rolling waves crashing against the shore, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, “There’s a sort of balance in the business world.

When everyone’s interests are intertwined, there comes the existence of something called a business association.

To avoid disputes over interests, the association’s purpose is to ask for harmonious development from everyone.

However, Si Yang Group has clearly violated the association’s principles!”

“From what I know, Si Yang Group seems to have some background, right?” Ye Chen chuckled.

“Yeah, that’s why they blatantly break the rules of the business association!” Li Ruo shook her head helplessly.

“This so-called business association is like today’s United Nations!

It has binding power only over those countries without capabilities, those that comply.

But for those countries with background and power, it has no binding force at all!” Ye Chen smiled faintly.

He was all too familiar with these matters.

The situation in the Golden Triangle was complex, like a chaotic independent world.

Although there was an organization named the Triangle Alliance, its role was only effective for those who caused minor disturbances.

For powerful organizations like Great General and Ghost, it could at most serve as a warning.

Ye Chen was smart and could draw parallels— the rules of the business world were not much different.

Maybe this was worldly society, Zhang Wuji was right, where there are people, there’s worldly society, and where there are more people, there are conflicts…

“Hmm!” Li Ruo nodded and looked at Ye Chen with a smile, saying, “I didn’t expect you to know so much!”

“Sigh…

Actually, as someone with amnesia, I feel my memory must be quite dramatic!” Ye Chen suddenly stood up straight and said, “Maybe, before I lost my memory, something important happened.

I have this vague feeling that I was a quite incredible person!”

Pfft…

Li Ruo suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

However, when Li Ruo laughed, she really was very pretty, her dimples blooming like flowers, her chest heaving, which made Ye Chen continuously drool.

All thoughts of dramatic past, memories, being incredible were thrown to the back of his mind.

“You, I don’t know what to do with you!” Li Ruo shook her head and remarked, “Sometimes you appear very calm and steady, like during that car race the other day.

I admit your serious side is truly attractive; but at other times you’re slick and slippery, and quite annoying, like today!

So, what kind of person are you exactly?”

Ye Chen was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “Haha, actually I’m someone who seems slick on the surface, but inside, I’m very upright, and I have a dramatic story to tell.

So tell me, are you interested in getting to know me better?”

“Not interested at all!” Li Ruo curled her lip and said, “You’re so hypocritical and cunning, completely unpredictable.

I’ve checked your background, and your history is a blank slate.

You’ve been in Jianghuai City for less than a year, and the only official record is when you kindly intervened at Jianghuai University to save a girl named Liu Momo.

Hmm, it’s clear that at that time you had no relationship with Liu Momo, so it shows you have some conscience.”

“I’ve always been kind-hearted, because I’m a good person!” Ye Chen grinned broadly, showing a row of white teeth.

Beep beep beep…

Li Ruo’s phone rang, and upon answering, her expression immediately turned solemn.

“What?

My dad has fallen ill?

It’s serious, okay, I’ll come back right away!” Li Ruo looked extremely anxious.

“What happened to your dad?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

“Well, my dad has severe asthma, and he just had an attack.

The nanny has already taken him to the hospital, I need to hurry back.

I was planning to treat you to lunch as a thank you, but now with this happening…” Li Ruo apologized.

“No worries, next time!” Ye Chen quickly shook his head.

“Then I’m off!” Li Ruo hopped into the Ferrari 599, rolled down the window and smiled at Ye Chen, “This car was supposed to be your prize, but I really like it.

You just make do with my car, don’t mind, right?”

Before Ye Chen could respond, Li Ruo pressed the gas pedal and sped away.

Looking at the bright red Z4 by the roadside, Ye Chen felt a bit helpless; he really didn’t like such an eye-catching color.

He still preferred the dignified and mysterious black Ferrari.

However, the girl had already disappeared without a trace.

Driving the red BMW sports car, he headed towards Xin Hai Apartment, because he was still concerned about Zhang Yantong sleeping at home.

Therefore, Ye Chen casually packed two Chinese meals from a fast food restaurant downstairs and carried the takeaway back.

As soon as he opened the door, he immediately smelled a rich fragrance of food.
