Chapter 2: The CEO in a Wheelchair

Chapter 2: The CEO in a Wheelchair

"What are you all doing over there?"

The man who spoke had sharp features, a well-defined face, and wore a black suit with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding a restrained and profound aura.

He was breathtakingly handsome, and even while sitting in a wheelchair, his domineering CEO aura was undiminished.

That's right—this was the domineering CEO of this story, Fu Zhichen.

His business empire spanned the globe, with interests in every major industry.

His parents lived abroad, and his family was disgustingly rich.

His only flaw was being confined to a wheelchair, reportedly due to a leg injury from a car accident years ago.

Who would have thought that in this day and age, there was a leg even money couldn't fix?

Song Jiang quickly approached Fu Zhichen, bowed, and said, "Mr. Fu, Miss Tian is here."

"Brother Zhichen, I finally get to see you!" Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she trotted over in a saccharine, coquettish voice.

Wow, this Tian Tian was something else—she started acting right away, a quick learner.

Just as Song Jiang was feeling deeply gratified,

Fu Zhichen raised one eyebrow and looked at Song Jiang.

"No more diarrhea?"

Song Jiang was caught off guard, meeting Fu Zhichen's gaze. Fu Zhichen's dark, deep eyes seemed to see right through him.

"Huh?" Song Jiang was dumbfounded for a couple of seconds.

He admitted his stomachache that morning was fake.

But why would the CEO ask that? Did he have to report his bowel movements too?

Song Jiang had his doubts, but his face wore a flawless fake smile. "I'm fine now, thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu."

Seeing that Fu Zhichen was ignoring her, Tian Tian immediately lost her temper.

Pointing at Song Jiang, she said, "Brother Zhichen, this person just now wouldn't let me come up to see you!"

"You should fire him!"

???

Song Jiang was full of question marks, staring wide-eyed at Tian Tian.

Wait a minute, he had just given Tian Tian advice, and now she was ungratefully turning against him.

Were all women this fickle?

Fu Zhichen followed Song Jiang's gaze and only then noticed there was another person.

Squinting slightly, he asked, "Who are you?"

Tian Tian immediately spoke in a coquettish, whiny voice, "Brother Zhichen, it's me, Tian Tian. We used to play together as kids!"

Saying that, she tried to step forward and grab Fu Zhichen's hand.

But Fu Zhichen didn't give her the chance; just before their hands touched, he slapped her hand aside.

"Who allowed you to touch me?" Fu Zhichen's tone was cold, and the chill emanating from him seemed to drop the temperature around them by a few degrees.

Tian Tian was clearly startled by Fu Zhichen's domineering aura, and being slapped made her feel wronged.

"Brother Zhichen, what are you doing? My hand is all red, it hurts so bad."

Fu Zhichen had no mercy for her. "Butler Song, are you just a decoration here? Now any stray cat or dog can touch me? What use are you?"

Stray cat or dog? The CEO's description was spot on.

But she had to touch him—how else would they build intimacy?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu. It's just that Miss Tian insisted on seeing you today."

"What standing does she have? Who says she can see me whenever she wants?"

Dunno about her status, but she's rich. Rich with rich—that's how it should be.

"Mr. Fu, she says she's the heiress of the Tian Group."

"The Tian Group."

Fu Zhichen gave a disdainful snort, the corners of his thin lips curled up slightly.

"Hmph."

"So you think sending a woman will make me agree to cooperate?"

Tian Tian looked confused, just shaking her head. "No, Brother Zhichen. It's just that I haven't seen you in so long, I missed you, so I came to find you on my own!"

Fu Zhichen completely dismissed Tian Tian's explanation.

"I don't care why you came. Leave immediately."

"Brother Zhichen, please don't chase me away."

Tears welled up in Tian Tian's eyes as she pleaded, and she tried to step forward and push Fu Zhichen's wheelchair.

But Fu Zhichen didn't give her that chance. He yanked Song Jiang in front of him as a shield, paying no heed to Tian Tian's pitiful expression, and said ruthlessly,

"Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

"Butler Song, throw this woman out immediately!"

Hear that? Such a classic domineering CEO line.

But even though the CEO said that, he wouldn't dare to actually do it.

Throwing her out—too rude.

Tears immediately fell from Tian Tian's eyes. "Brother Zhichen, you've changed."

"Boo hoo, you weren't like this when we were little."

Wiping away her tears and sniffling, she murmured, "But I think I like you even more like this."

Song Jiang mentally clapped his hands, thinking, "Good, good, good!"

He felt relieved by Tian Tian’s words. She didn’t mind what the CEO said, showing she was mentally tough.

As long as she stayed determined, Tian Tian would succeed in anything she did!

Winning over the CEO is just around the corner!

Fu Zhichen’s tone grew even darker. "Steward Song, why are you still standing around like a fool?"

"Are you not even going to listen to what I say now?"

As he spoke, Fu Zhichen unconsciously rubbed his thumb in circles.

Having been by Fu Zhichen’s side for so long, Song Jiang knew this was an extremely dangerous little habit.

If he didn’t leave now, the CEO might fly off the handle, and his five-figure salary would be at stake!

"Miss Tian, the CEO asks you to leave first."

Song Jiang winked at Tian Tian and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Stop crying. Leave quickly for now. I’ll put in a good word for you with the CEO. Remember everything I told you."

As he spoke, he tugged at Tian Tian’s bag, pulling her toward the main entrance.

"Don’t touch me!" Tian Tian shoved Song Jiang back hard. "Steward Song, your advice to play the Little White Flower is useless! Why do I feel like Brother Zhichen hates me even more now!"

Song Jiang’s head was spinning. He looked back nervously, only hoping no one heard what Tian Tian said.

Luckily, cowed by the CEO’s presence, everyone was busy with their own tasks, and the front desk was empty.

Song Jiang’s racing heart finally settled.

"Miss Tian, don’t lose heart. This is just your first day playing the Little White Flower. It’s a contrast to your previous naive persona; you need to give the CEO some time to adjust."

Tian Tian’s mind was entirely on her Brother Zhichen, and she automatically ignored the word "silly."

"But..."

Song Jiang didn’t let her finish. He cut her off and patted his chest in assurance.

"Trust me, the CEO definitely likes the Little White Flower type."

Before Song Jiang transmigrated into the book, almost all the boss novels he read ended with the boss and the Little White Flower together.

Fu Zhichen was no exception!

Tian Tian was half-convinced. "Steward Song, you won’t trick me again, will you?"

Song Jiang said earnestly, "Miss Tian, when have I ever tricked you?"

"Every time I come to find Brother Zhichen, you say he’s not here. Isn’t that tricking me?"

Hmm, it seemed Tian Tian wasn’t as foolish as he thought.

Song Jiang quickly changed his tune. "That was all instructed by the CEO."

"You know I’m just a lowly employee; I had no choice."

"Alright, I’ll trust you one more time." Tian Tian spoke slowly, giving Song Jiang a thoughtful glance, hesitating as if she had something to say.

Song Jiang saw right through her. "Miss Tian, we’re in the same boat now. Just say whatever’s on your mind."

"My dad says there’s no free lunch in the world. You’re helping me like this—what’s your goal?"

Song Jiang certainly wouldn’t tell Tian Tian about the six million; he’d promised Grandma Fu.

But since Tian Tian brought it up, embracing the mindset of "why not take what’s on offer,"

His goal was, of course, his ultimate target: money, money, money!

"Give me money. Every time I help you, you give me 100,000 yuan, how about that?"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Tian Tian patted Song Jiang on the shoulder.

She didn’t bat an eye at 100,000 yuan, saying boldly, "Deal!" (Oh, please give this kid a chance, read a few more chapters...=థ౪థ....)
