[WrongThenWrong] Chapter 9.2 — Day 2 (gift from the boyfriend)

Young President Cheng immediately replied to Director Li, the first person to spread rumors: [After I bought one, my boyfriend gave me another bottle.]

Director Li: [Really?]

A simple word that revealed a lot of distrust.

The comments all followed suit and replied with this same question.

It was rare for Young President Cheng to be frustrated. These middle-aged partners were like sharks smelling blood, and they rushed out one after another.

What’s more, not only did they follow suit and comment on Cheng Liu’s circle of friends, but they also made a special trip to call other bosses who had already rested to get them to watch the fun.

So Young President Cheng’s circle of friends became more and more lively.

Unexpectedly, some people made guesses as to Cheng Liu’s next step and said directly: [I have already taken a screenshot, so Young President Cheng, it is useless for you to delete it.]

Cheng Liu felt heartbroken. 

She was about to bring another bottle of perfume from the living room, put them together for a photo, and prepared to prove her innocence. The comments under her Moments suddenly shifted.

President Ji: [Young President Cheng is going to cooperate with Ranshan?]

A simple comment successfully brought back a group of carousing partners and immediately restored their business acumen.

[So that’s it. Young President Cheng’s marketing strategy is very good, but what is the cooperation between Shenyin and the perfume brand?]

[Smart robots also use perfume now? As expected of Young President Cheng, she has always been walking in the forefront.]

[It is also possible to cooperate with car perfumes. Hasn’t Young President Cheng been engaged in automatic driving for the past two years? ]

Cheng Liu watched helplessly as the comments below gradually turned into discussions about social and commercial development within five years: “…”

I don’t know if I should thank President Ji who has successfully led everyone away.

Young President Cheng, who failed to flaunt her love life, lost heart, wanted to quit the circle of friends. Before she could get back to working and heal herself, that President Ji sent her a private message.

President Ji: [Young President Cheng, Shenyin wants to cooperate with Ranshan? ]

Cheng Liu was surprised. This was Ji Mushan, the boss of Tianqi Automobile Company. The two of them were not familiar with each other. They just talked about autonomous driving some time ago.

Why was he asking this?

Cheng Liu pulled the chair in front of the desk, sat down, and replied to President Ji: [No, that’s really the perfume my boyfriend gave me. ]

She watched the other party typing for a while, and waited for a while before President Ji sent a message.

President Ji: [Ranshan is a very good perfume brand, if Young President Cheng has plans to cooperate in creating a car perfume, might as well consider Ranshan. ]

Cheng Liu raised her eyebrows, Tianqi is an established car company, she didn’t seem to have heard of any perfume business under Ji’s family.

Besides, Shenyin has not been able to develop a car production line for the time being, she only provides technology. Even if Shenyin succeeds in cooperating with car companies to develop a fully automatic driving car, car perfume should also be considered by car companies.

Cheng Liu replied straightforwardly to President Ji: [Shenyin will not consider cooperating with Ranshan, perfume is not within our field of cooperation.]

Mr. Ji: [If other partners need relevant cooperation partners, President Cheng can also recommend it. Ranshan is a good perfume brand.]

Cheng Liu said yes, feeling that President Ji was a little strange today.

She met President Ji two years ago. He was handsome and tall, and his appearance was very prominent among this group of middle-aged business partners, but he had two deep vertical lines between his brows, and he had a serious mien throughout.

The other party didn’t seem like a nosy person; she didn’t know why he chatted with her today.

Cheng Liu didn’t think about it too deeply. She put down on the phone, turned around, stared at the perfume bottle in the glass cabinet, thinking about what gift she would give her boyfriend in return.

It felt like ordinary things were not good enough for her boyfriend.

Cheng Liu picked up her phone and looked through her itinerary for this week. It was nothing serious, and she could deal with those documents when she had time.

She clicked on her assistant’s WeChat and asked him: [Is there any auction in City S scheduled?]

When eating with Director Li today, she remembered that the other party mentioned that she wanted to accompany his wife to a jewelry auction.

He Bai replied quickly: [Yes, it will be tomorrow, what’s wrong?]

Cheng Liu immediately typed: [I want to go.]

He Bai stared at Cheng Liu’s message. And when he recalled the post she made on her circle of friends tonight, he suddenly felt absurd. Did she really have feelings for that Wang Hongyang?

Impossible.

Sitting in front of the bar set up in his living room, He Bai remembered that Cheng Liu had even misremembered Wang Hongyang’s name that day, so he chuckled. This was probably another elementary school student’s love practice that Cheng Liu learned from somewhere.

He raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass before replying to Cheng Liu: [Tomorrow’s jewelry auction requires invitations to enter, but I happen to have two, and I’ll give them to you tomorrow.]

Cheng Liu: [OK.]

He Bai asked her: [Do you want me to prepare clothes for you to wear at the auction?]

Cheng Liu replied immediately: [Why do I need to change clothes when I buy something?]

Seeing this expected reply, He Bai’s smile grew wider under the lights. She was this kind of person who didn’t care about the outside at all. She has reached the upper echelon through sheer brilliance and hard work, building up her own technology start-up company.

But he knew that Cheng Liu was also a very ambitious person; this kind of person would always use whatever means available to her to achieve her goal.

He has seen it many times before.

Wang Hongyang was too ordinary—except for that passable face, there was nothing about him that could match up to Cheng Liu.

He Bai straightened his sleeves, and got up to prepare the invitation for the auction as if nothing had happened.

The other party was just a pebble in Cheng Liu’s life that couldn’t possibly make waves.

  1. oh no. This He Bai is the controlling type isn’t he. He has inserted himself into every aspect of her life. He doesn’t mind her dating because it’s just elementary school chicken level. This misunderstanding is important because it lowers his guard enough that she can develop a real relationship behind her assistants back.

  2. I don’t remember if Ji Chaozhou’s father’s name was mentioned, but if it wasn’t, then I’m assuming Ji Mushan is the father. If so, then it’s shocking that he’s also Cheng Liu’s business partner and his endorsement of his son’s perfume brand most likely shows that he cares about his son, but he’s probably awkward about showing his feelings, hence their strained relationship. I could be terribly off the mark, though, lol.

    I just feel sorry for He Bai because he’s never going to get Cheng Liu, but he’s a bit too content with his knowledge of her personality and habits that he’s going to end up regretting not taking her actions seriously.

    Thanks for the chapter! 😀

    1. It was definitely mentioned that his name is Ji Mushan, and that Cheng Liu knows him was the pivotal thing that kicked off the whole misunderstanding! Ji Chaozhou saw the name “Ji Mushan” in Cheng Liu’s contact list and that’s why he assumes she’s a bodyguard hired by his father, never imagining that he’s in her phone because she’s in the business circle.
