Chapter 146: Repeated Admonitions and Earnest Entreaties

[Love and Harmony: One Big Family]

Today was bright and sunny as usual.

“Report! Report! I just saw the boss bringing the boss’s wife to the company—they just got on the elevator.”

Suddenly, a crowd of people popped up.

“What? The boss personally brought his wife here?”

“Didn’t they go to meet the parents yesterday?”

“Are you out of your mind? The boss already said he’s coming for a meeting. By the way, have you reported it yet?”

“Ah! The boss and the boss’s wife are so sweet together; he even brings her to work!”

No matter how Jingxing Wen and Wanning Song thought about it, they never imagined that most of the employees were following the show "Let’s Fall in Love."

Except for a few isolated staff members, nearly everyone watched the episodes after work or caught the live replays.

Because they all shared a common curiosity.

That was: what kind of extraordinary woman could possibly tame such a fierce and imposing boss?

In other words, they refused to believe that the boss would remain so ruthless even after falling in love.

But after watching the show one by one, they all experienced a true “converted on the spot” moment.

The sweetness between the boss and his wife was simply irresistible!

Those who came to watch the spectacle eventually became loyal fans of the couple.

Hearing that the boss’s wife was coming to the company for the first time, everyone grew even more excited, flooding the group chat with enthusiastic messages, promising to bring 120% of their energy and work attitude today.

Meanwhile, Shaoyuan Chen was busy preparing the documents needed for the upcoming meeting.

But his phone kept buzzing incessantly, making it impossible for him to focus.

Picking it up, he saw it was from that particularly boring “Love and Harmony” group chat.

Strictly speaking, this wasn’t a work group at all.

Nobody even remembered who created it in the first place.

Yet everyone used it as a confidant’s cave, frequently venting about company matters or sharing trivial gossip.

Chen Shaoyuan was dragged into it by a junior employee he didn’t even know.

He had thought about leaving the group, but later realized it was quite useful—through the messages, he could always gauge the employees’ moods and pick up on some insider information.

For example, if he saw someone slacking off in the group, Chen would casually drop by their department whenever he was free.

Over time, Chen Shaoyuan earned the reputation of being elusive and omnipresent.

Because whenever anyone played on their phone, Chen Shaoyuan would suddenly appear behind them.

Yet he never got angry and stayed in the group.

This time, upon seeing the buzz caused by Song Wanning and Wen Jingxing, he hesitated only briefly before muting his phone. He, too, needed to focus on work!

Inside the company, employees appeared to be diligently working, but if you stood still long enough, you’d notice them glancing out the window repeatedly, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Unfortunately, Song Wanning took Wen Jingxing’s private elevator straight to the top-floor CEO office.

When Song Wanning stepped out of the elevator, she saw a black office door across from her and a gray door beside it with a glass window.

Passing by, she instinctively glanced inside and saw a man sitting there—just as Chen Shaoyuan also looked over.

Wen Jingxing walked straight past, opened the office door, and Song Wanning followed, paying no further attention to the adjacent door.

She had already noticed the plaque above the gray door that read “Secretary’s Office.”

Inside, Song Wanning found the office surprisingly spacious.

Three walls were floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with a small room on the left side and a black tea table with a large sofa on the right.

Wen Jingxing’s desk sat squarely in the middle near the windows.

Though covered with many documents, all were neatly arranged, leaving no sense of disorder.

Wen Jingxing led Song Wanning to the sofa, then brought her some snacks.

“If you’re hungry, eat these. If you don’t want them, just tell Cheng Mu to go buy something downstairs for you. If you get tired, you can rest in that small room—there’s a blanket and pillow inside.”

“Cheng Mu will come find you soon. Feel free to explore the company; if you get tired, come back and rest. I have a meeting to attend soon—it might be a long one since I haven’t been here in a while.”

He spoke quickly, and Song Wanning listened with a mix of amusement and embarrassment.

“All right, all right, I’m not a child anymore. I’ll take good care of myself. If you’re busy, you should get going.”

Meanwhile, Chen Shaoyuan was still caught in the afterglow of his brief glance—the boss’s wife was just too stunning!

Seeing Song Wanning on his phone was one thing, but witnessing her in person was a whole different level of impact.

Turning his head, he noticed his phone still lighting up—the group chat was still buzzing.

Everyone was curious about where Wen Jingxing and Song Wanning had gone, but no one had seen them and were discussing it in the chat, asking anyone who spotted them to speak up.

Chen Shaoyuan finally couldn’t stand it and sent a message.

“Being with the boss is like being with a tiger: no guessing needed. He must have taken the boss’s wife to his own office.”

Others chimed in in agreement.

“Makes sense.”

“The boss wouldn’t just walk around the whole company with her.”

“Did you see it with your own eyes, @BeingWithTheBossIsLikeBeingWithATiger?”

Chen Shaoyuan didn’t respond further, shook his head, and put down his phone.

Then, suddenly, he saw Wen Jingxing knock once and push open the office door.

Startled, Chen Shaoyuan tossed his phone aside, burying it under a stack of files.

He wasn’t sure if Wen Jingxing had caught him playing on his phone.

But Wen Jingxing said nothing, merely asked if the meeting documents were ready.

Chen Shaoyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“All set, Mr. Wen.”

“Good. Let’s head to the meeting.”

After sitting in the office for a while, feeling a bit bored, Song Wanning turned to the cameraman and said, “Let’s start the livestream now.”

“Sure!” The cameraman had no special requests and enjoyed watching the comments and reactions in the live chat.

But every time they went live, he had to film, so he could only watch the replay afterward.

As soon as the livestream began, viewers flocked in excitedly.

“Wow! Wanning’s starting so early today!”

“Where is she? I’ve never seen this place before.”

“Wait and see!”

“Wanning, we miss you so much!”

“What’s she doing? Why isn’t she looking at the camera? What’s she playing with? I’m curious!”

At that moment, Song Wanning opened the “Let’s Fall in Love” streaming platform and entered her own live room.

Her head was bowed, strands of hair falling over her shoulders, hiding most of her face.

The audience in the chat kept commenting.

“Cameraman! You’re blocking the goddess’s face!”

“Ah~~~ Wanning looks so beautiful even like this!”

Suddenly, Song Wanning let out a laugh.

The viewers grew curious again.

“What’s she laughing at?”

“Wanning, Wanning, did you see something funny?”
