Chapter 190: Her Unique Fragrance
Chu Cichen stared at the text he had just finished typing.
A scene then flashed in his mind.
A woman wearing a red dress and golden mask flaunted her lithe figure as she walked. Two of her slender fingers were wrapped around a cigar as she took a deep puff before exhaling a spiral of smoke.
After that, her black inky eyes underneath the mask looked at Chu Cichen.
With her thin lips and a voice that was filled with languidness, she said, “527, you have to remember that you have to be respectful toward researchers because they are the future of this world.”
527 was his number in the organization. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
He would always be ridiculed by her and even his 527 name code sounded like “I love my wife” in mandarin pronunciation. In the future, she was sure that he would be someone who loved his wife deeply. He then asked her what she liked.
The woman continued smiling. “My name code is 518, which sounds like ‘I like being wealthy’, so I naturally like money!”
Hearing this answer, he couldn’t help but laugh.
He naturally knew that she didn’t like money that much.
Chu Cichen’s lips subconsciously curled into a smile as he sank into his memories.
He only regained his senses when his phone vibrated. He then saw Lu Cheng’s text. [Bro Chen, is there any problem?]
Only then did Chu Cichen discover that the text he typed earlier hadn’t been sent out yet.
Charles was a rare talent in research.
After thinking of this, Chu Cichen deleted the text and replied. [Just focus on accompanying Charles.]
If he got Lu Cheng to pass the message he wanted to say, it would be disrespectful to Charles
Hence, he decided to personally talk with Charles. If Charles wasn’t willing, he wouldn’t force him.
Just as Chu Cichen decided to head to the industrial park, he saw Lu Cheng calling him. He then picked it up and only heard Lu Cheng babbling non-stop, “Professor Charles has entered the lab and I’m outside. Oh ya, Bro Chen, our Chu Corporation’s share price has surged greatly. Not even a day has passed, and the share price already regains its previous peak and is surging even higher. Seeing this, all those employees of ours who stuck by us took the initiative to cancel their leaves and came back to work.”
After speaking until here, he chortled, “Bro Chen, the crisis this time around allows us to differentiate the loyal employees from the not loyal ones. I think we should organize a gathering tonight. In the future, the Chu Corporation is going to develop in the pharmaceutical industry. Hence, I think we should invite all our employees in Sea City and those working in the pharmaceutical factory to have a celebratory banquet!”
A celebratory banquet…
Chu Cichen’s gaze flashed. “Is Charles going?”
If Charles was going, Chu Cichen naturally would appear so he could have a chance to interact with Charles.
“I just asked him and he said that he would be there if Miss Shen goes.”
Chu Cichen frowned. “Miss Shen?”
“Right. Previously when Lord Jing came to the industrial park, didn’t I tell you that she seemed to be acquainted with Charles? Aren’t you thinking about firing Fang Panxia? If Lord Jing is acquainted with Charles, we can just get her to say a few sentences, and this matter might not be so difficult to settle. I called Lord Jing earlier and she said she will go.”
“…Understood.”
Chu Cichen’s voice suddenly turned cold as he hung up.
Shen Ruojing was just beside him, but Lu Cheng had to personally invite her to the Chu Corporation’s banquet? When did Lu Cheng and Shen Ruojing become so close?
Chu Cichen once again entertained the thought of sending Lu Cheng overseas to work.
Now, the Chu Corporation was back on track. Chu Cichen handled overseas matters in the afternoon, and when it was five plus in the evening, he left and prepared to participate in the celebratory banquet.
Just when he walked out of his study, the bustling noise from the living lounge below drifted over.
“Wear the red color one, it is beautiful!” Chu Yu’s voice rang out.
“The gold color one looks more expensive!” Chu Tianye spoke.
“That’s yellow and not gold. It looks tacky. The red one is better!”
“Gold is yellow too. The gold color is much nicer!”
The two little fellows began arguing. A while later, they both turned in unison and spoke, “Younger sister, what do you think?”
The endearingly silly Xiao Meng hugged her dinosaur soft toy and blinked. “Mommy is beautiful, so she will be good-looking no matter what she wears.”
“…”
A smile appeared on Chu Cichen’s face.
When he got down, he saw Matriarch Chu actually picking several evening dresses out for Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing actually didn’t want to wear them as she felt restrained in them. In these six years, she had rarely worn such flashy clothes.
However, she also didn’t want to let down Matriarch Chu’s kind intentions.
Her vision swept past the yellow, green, blue, and red colored dresses. All of a sudden, she sensed something and glanced up, only to see Chu Cichen coming down in a black western suit.
He wore a dark blue tie around his neck.
Shen Ruojing’s lips curled and she picked a blue dress. “I’ll choose this then!”
Matriarch Chu felt conflicted. “Would it make you appear too old?”
“Mature.”
Shen Ruojing then turned to enter an empty room at the side and changed into the blue dress.
The dress was very fitting and accentuated her perfect figure.
It was as though there was a spotlight on her due to how bright she looked.
Chu Cichen’s gaze swept past her waist. He didn’t know why, but when he glanced at his tie, he had a feeling as though both of them were wearing couple wear.
He then turned to look at the kids. Chu Tianyue and Chu Yu were wearing suits for kids, and Chu Xiaomeng was also wearing a little pink dress.
After looking at Shen Ruojing’s dress, Chu Yu secretly took off his red bowtie, replacing it with a blue one before he revealed a satisfied smile.
Chu Cichen’s steps paused slightly. “Are you all going too?”
“Yup!” Matriarch Chu chose a dress with a mature style. Her slightly plump figure actually looked noble and graceful in it. “Lu Cheng said that we can bring our family members to the banquet tonight.”
Chu Cichen. “…”
He didn’t even know about this as the CEO of the Chu Corporation!
After that, he nodded and took the lead to walk out. “Let’s go.”
The gathering was held in a large hotel of the Chu Corporation, and it took them slightly more than half an hour to arrive. As the host, he naturally couldn’t be late.
As they walked out of the Chu Manor, the two large vehicles were already there.
Chu Cichen turned slightly, allowing Matriarch Chu to board the first one.
Matriarch Chu took the vehicle with the three children. When Shen Ruojing wanted to get on, Matriarch Chu suddenly said, “You guys should take the second vehicle.”
After saying that, she closed the car door directly.
“…” Shen Ruojing.
“…” Chu Cichen.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a mutual glance before they walked uneasily toward the vehicle at the back.
As it had been six years since she last wore such a dress, she forgot that the hem of the dress wasn’t large enough, so when Shen Ruojing lifted her foot and was about to get in, she stumbled and her entire body fell forward into the car.
Chu Cichen subconsciously stretched his hands out and tried to pull her back while holding her waist. As a result, the soft figure of Shen Ruojing directly entered his embrace.
This was the first time they had such an intimate interaction.
He could feel the softness of her body, and this caused Chu Cichen’s adam’s apple to quiver as his throat felt a little parched.
He felt like pushing this woman away.
At this moment, a slight wind gusted and the black silky hair of the woman brushed past his face. A seemingly non-existent special fragrance gushed over and caused him to stiffen.
This smell was very unique. Even though six years had passed, he had never forgotten it.
It was 518’s unique fragrance.
