Chapter 105: An Unwanted Meddling

"You mean he helped you solve the problem with Dream Charm?"

Xiao Ya nodded. "Zhu Jun, who exactly is he? Why have you never mentioned him to me?"

"He was able to help you solve the perfume dilemma?"

Shen Zhujun did not answer her, but asked again, her expression filled with profound disbelief.

Xiao Ya nodded again. "I don't know where he got a pill from, but he used just a tiny bit to turn our Dream Charm into the perfect version. He also said that this one pill could produce ten thousand bottles of this perfect fragrance. He told us to produce these ten thousand bottles first to test the market response, and if the reception is enthusiastic, he will supply a large quantity of those pills. Tell me, is he giving us these pills for free? Or is there some other arrangement between you two?"

Shen Zhujun stood up at this point. "Is this true?"

"If you don't believe me, smell it!" Xiao Ya handed the sample of the Dream Charm she had brought to Shen Zhujun.

As soon as Shen Zhujun took a whiff, her expression changed; she was deeply stunned by the fragrance.

"How is this possible? How?" she murmured to herself. Where did her "husband" find a pill with such miraculous properties?

"With this Dream Charm, I don't believe our company won't be able to turn things around immediately. By the way, Zhu Jun, you still haven't told me what your relationship with him is, and how we should contact him in the future?"

Xiao Ya nudged Shen Zhujun's shoulder. Because the fragrance was so incredibly alluring, she was afraid that Shen Zhujun would become just as entranced as they had been.

Shen Zhujun collected herself and whispered, "A friend."

She then straightened her expression and said to Xiao Ya, "Since the problem with Dream Charm has been resolved, you should get to work on the production. As for how to contact him, you don't need to worry about that. As long as Dream Charm sells well, I guarantee he will have a large supply of those pills for our production."

Shen Zhujun figured that since her husband could produce such a pill and make such a bold claim, he must be prepared, so she felt confident giving Xiao Ya this assurance.

Seeing the odd look in Shen Zhujun's eyes earlier, Xiao Ya suspected that the man’s relationship with her was far from ordinary, so she found it inconvenient to press further.

However, thinking of the company's prospects, she beamed. "I was worried that I might have offended him and that it would be difficult to reach him later. With the CEO’s word, I’m relieved. I’m going to get to work now."

After Xiao Ya left, Shen Zhujun couldn't help but feel distracted. She found her "husband" increasingly unfathomable.

After a while, she called her secretary, Shi Qingqing, into her office.

"Qingqing, go to the reception room and check again. If the Mr. Chen I asked you to bring there earlier is still there, bring him to me."

Shi Qingqing went immediately.

Shen Zhujun set aside her work and waited quietly.

But after a while, Shi Qingqing returned and said, "CEO, that man is no longer in the reception room. I looked around the company, but I couldn't find him. I don't know where he went. Should I keep looking?"

Shen Zhujun thought for a moment and waved her hand. "Never mind. You go back to work."

Once Shi Qingqing left, she picked up the phone and dialed Chen Yuyi's number.

By now, Chen Yuyi had already left the company. Since he had handed over a Heavenly Fragrance Pill to the R&D department, he had resolved their problem. Besides, his wife was very busy, and he didn't want to disturb her further.

When he received Shen Zhujun's call, he smiled faintly; this was to be expected.

"Chen Yuyi, tell me, what exactly happened when you were in the R&D department?"

"What do you mean, what happened? My wife's company was in trouble, so it’s only natural for me to help out a little."

"What about that pill? Can you really supply us in large quantities?"

"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem. I’m just not sure how many bottles of that perfume you intend to produce. If it’s only a million or so for now, that should be enough, but if we're talking about millions, I’ll need to do some preparing first."

"That's enough! There's no way we could produce that many right now. Fine, I'm relieved now that you've said that. Since you won't tell me what those pills are, I won't ask where they came from. But remember this: it doesn't mean I'm not curious. I'll wait until you're ready to tell me. Also, I told you to wait at the company, so why did you just run off?"

Chen Yuyi touched his nose. "Why don't you ask yourself? Your husband finally comes to see you, and you leave him hanging in the reception room."

"Fine, so I was wrong. Did you tell the people at the company what our relationship is?"

"What do you think?"

*Click.*

Shen Zhujun hung up the phone directly.

Chen Yuyi couldn't help but shake his head. Why did this wife of his always hang up before letting him finish his sentence? There was no consideration for their marital bond at all.

Just then, in the shadows, a pair of eyes stared at him coldly.

After he walked away, the owner of those eyes took out a phone.

"Greedy Wolf, there's a kid. You and Nightingale go and test his limits for me!"

After hanging up, Wei Jiadong wore a smirk, whistled, and climbed into his flashy sports car.

As Chen Yuyi passed through a small alley, he suddenly heard a woman's voice.

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

A sexy, glamorous beauty was being supported by a young man in camouflage gear with a buzz cut.

"Miss, you’re a bit drunk. There are a lot of bad people around here. I served in the military for a few years; I can protect you."

"Get lost. Aren't you men all the same? The moment you see a pretty woman, you can't wait to drop your pants and get to business. I hate people who try to play the hero in front of women most of all!"

Although the glamorous beauty was somewhat intoxicated, she seemed quite clear-headed.

"I really don't have any malicious intent toward you. You have to believe me!" the young man with the buzz cut insisted earnestly.

He noticed Chen Yuyi and sighed with an innocent expression, seemingly trying to prove to Chen Yuyi that he was a good guy.

At that moment, a group of ruffians actually emerged from the alley.

"Oh, look, we really hit the jackpot. A big beauty right here!" When the thugs saw the glamorous woman, their eyes immediately glowed with greed.

The man with the buzz cut immediately stood in front of the woman.

Chen Yuyi didn't even need to watch to know how the situation would end.

The man with the buzz cut was indeed skilled, and he knocked the group of thugs to the ground in just a few moves.

He then said to the woman with a righteous air, "Miss, do you believe now that I'm not a bad guy?"

The woman swayed, and the man with the buzz cut immediately stepped up to support her.

Chen Yuyi shook his head slightly; he couldn't be bothered with such matters anymore. He was just about to leave.

But then: "Get off me! Who knows if you're in cahoots with them!"

It was unclear where the glamorous woman found the strength, but she suddenly broke free from the young man's embrace. At the same time, however, she lost her balance and stumbled toward Chen Yuyi.

If it were an average man, he would have instinctively reached out to catch her, but Chen Yuyi frowned slightly and shifted his feet, dodging her.

*Thud!*

The drunk, sexy beauty fell face-first onto the ground in front of Chen Yuyi, looking quite disheveled.

"Damn!" the man with the buzz cut exclaimed. Was this guy even a man? A beauty threw herself at him, and he actually dodged?

The beauty was wearing a short black skirt, and the sight of her sprawled on the ground was quite striking, especially her long, slender legs, which would be enough to tempt any man.

Chen Yuyi was about to walk away.

However, the beauty, like a drowning person instinctively grabbing for a floating plank, grabbed Chen Yuyi's leg from behind and refused to let go.

Chen Yuyi turned around coldly, looking down at the woman on the ground.

At that instant, their eyes met.

The woman's large eyes, though heavily made up, were clear, bright, and watery, looking up at Chen Yuyi with a hint of confusion.

One was looking up, the other looking down.

Chen Yuyi wouldn't kick her away rudely, but he wouldn't let her cling to him either. He frowned and bent down, intending to help her up so he could free himself.

Just as he bent over, a puff of purple smoke was suddenly sprayed toward his face from the glamorous woman's mouth...
