The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Ling Chen’s words left Yang He a bit stunned. He had interacted with many people and was well-versed in the ways of the world, but it was his first time encountering someone like Ling Chen, who spoke so bluntly. Although everyone was well aware of certain things, they wouldn’t be openly discussed. Ling Chen’s frankness made Yang He uncomfortable, and he didn’t know how to respond.

"Ling Chen."

At this moment, Leng Feifei waved at Ling Chen from the crowd, signaling for him to come over.

"Mr. Ling, let’s go together." Yang He gestured with his hand in a ’please’ motion. As they approached the guests, Ling Chen looked at Leng Feifei and asked, "What’s up?"

"When are you leaving? If it’s convenient, could you give me a ride later?"

Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He had initially planned to leave now, but since Leng Feifei wanted to join him, he couldn’t refuse.

"Are you Miss Leng?" Yang He proactively extended his hand, smiling, "I’ve heard Wanqing talk about you, saying that you’re not only her business partner but also her good friend. Let me introduce myself, I’m..."

Leng Feifei smiled and shook his hand, responding, "Mr. Yang, there’s no need to introduce yourself. I know you. Changlong Technology focuses on the international market, similar in nature to the company you manage. I heard your name when I first joined the company. Even our chairman praises you, saying you’re exceptionally talented, and that under your leadership, the Yang Group will definitely flourish."

"You’re too kind," Yang He said modestly. "The Yang Group is the result of the Yang Family’s hard work; I’m just a successor, hardly outstanding. Miss Leng, at such a young age, you’ve built yourself up from scratch and in just a few years, you’ve become the head of Huaxia. Frankly, you’re more impressive than I am."

"President Yang, you really know how to speak."

"What are you all standing here for?" At this moment, a voice came through. Ling Chen and Yang He turned to see Jiang Yue’e approaching gracefully.

"Mrs. Jiang." Yang He immediately put on a smiling face upon seeing her.

"Mrs. Jiang." Ling Chen nodded slightly in greeting.

As the mother of Nanrong Wanqing, and with Jiang Yue’e’s appearance and temperament not losing out to her daughter’s, her presence instantly drew a lot of attention.

Jiang Yue’e glanced indifferently at Ling Chen, then turned her gaze to Yang He, smiling, "Wanqing is over there hosting guests, why aren’t you over there with her?"

Her words were spoken in front of Ling Chen, making it awkward, as if Yang He was indeed Nanrong Wanqing’s rightful boyfriend, and Ling Chen was just an unrelated outsider. The guests around whispered to themselves, as if enjoying a show.

They were all partners of the Hongyu Group. Previously, when Nanrong Wanqing made high-profile appearances with Ling Chen, they were well aware of Ling Chen’s identity. Now, Jiang Yue’e saying such things to Ling Chen’s face seemed to confirm their suspicions that Ling Chen’s position had been replaced by Yang He.

"I just ran into Mr. Ling, so we chatted a bit."

"Really?" Jiang Yue’e asked curiously, "Ling Chen isn’t in business; do you two have common topics?"

Yang He laughed, "Mr. Ling may not be in the business world, but he’s outstanding in other fields. Mrs. Jiang, you’re aware that I love interacting with talented people."

Jiang Yue’e nodded, "Let’s go, the Hongyu Group’s partners are over there. I’ll take you to meet them. In the future, when you help Wanqing develop the Hongyu Group, you’ll need to interact with them."

"Okay." Yang He replied, then turned to Ling Chen and said apologetically, "Mr. Ling, it was great talking to you. I hope we have the opportunity for a deeper conversation next time."

As Ling Chen stood silently, the surrounding guests couldn’t help but sympathize with him. In front of everyone, Jiang Yue’e and Yang He, in perfect harmony, showed no regard for Ling Chen’s dignity. Anyone in his place would probably find such treatment hard to bear.

However, just then, Liu Kun walked over quickly from a distance. Seeing Liu Kun appear, Jiang Yue’e and Yang He, who were about to leave, both stopped in their tracks. Everyone knew that Liu Kun was not only the butler of the Nanrong family but also the spokesperson for Nanrong Yong. His appearance here indicated that Nanrong Yong had something to say.

"Uncle Liu." Seeing Liu Kun approach, Ling Chen called out to him.

Liu Kun nodded, looked at Jiang Yue’e, and said, "The old master says he wants to rest, so everyone should quiet down and not disturb his sleep."

"Understood." Jiang Yue’e replied, asking, "Is there anything else?"

"Mr. Ling." Liu Kun turned to Ling Chen, "The old master invites you and the young lady to come over. He’s bored by himself in the room and wants you both to keep him company and chat. Besides, he has something he wants to ask you."

At these words, everyone involuntarily looked at Jiang Yue’e and Yang He, with playful smiles appearing on their faces.

Liu Kun’s words, seemingly disjointed, actually conveyed that the old master didn’t like Jiang Yue’e and Yang He, and that in the old master’s eyes, Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing were a pair.

Interesting! Everyone found it amusing. The mother supports Yang He, while the grandfather supports Ling Chen. No wonder Ling Chen was unfazed by Jiang Yue’e’s harshness. He had a stronger backing.

After all, this was the Nanrong Family. As long as Nanrong Yong was alive, he was the one with the most authority in this family.

After listening to Liu Kun, the corner of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, understanding that Nanrong Yong was helping him.

As expected! After hearing Liu Kun’s latter words, Jiang Yue’e’s expression became somewhat unpleasant. However, in front of so many people, she couldn’t utter a word of rebuttal. In this family, her authority could never surpass Nanrong Yong’s.

"Mr. Ling, Miss, hurry over, don’t keep the old master waiting."

"Understood." Ling Chen nodded and began making his way to Nanrong Yong’s residence. Nanrong Wanqing, standing among the guests, came to her senses and hurriedly caught up with Ling Chen. As she got close, Nanrong Wanqing naturally reached out and held Ling Chen’s arm, disappearing from everyone’s view together.

If earlier, Nanrong Yong’s words left everyone guessing who would ultimately prevail between Ling Chen and Yang He, Nanrong Wanqing’s actions undoubtedly revealed the answer.

Nanrong Yong supported Ling Chen, and Nanrong Wanqing chose Ling Chen. Even if Jiang Yue’e was Nanrong Wanqing’s mother, it probably couldn’t change this result.

As partners of the Hongyu Group, having interacted with Nanrong Wanqing for so many years, they knew her character well—once she had decided on something, it was difficult for anyone to change her mind.

At this moment, it wasn’t just Jiang Yue’e; the smile on Yang He’s face had finally cooled down.
