My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

food inside the plastic bags.
It didn’t take long before the table was placed with mala skewers, fried rice cakes, deep-fried loin and an array of assorted night market snacks.

The employees hadn’t had a proper meal since lunch, and now that it was late at night, the common delicacies that were usually disregarded were now a sight for sore eyes.

But they held back their urges and stared at Lin Ruoxi with intense gazes, waiting for her permission.

“Well don’t look at me, eat.” Lin Ruoxi nodded as she gave permission.

The employees happily went towards the snacks as they each grabbed something before gobbling away.

Yang Chen handed Liu Mingyu a bowl of beef noodles before he grabbed a few sticks of mutton skewers and brought it over to Lin Ruoxi.
“Here, open your mouth!”

Lin Ruoxi frowned as she whispered, “Why does Mingyu get to have the beef noodles but I can only have mutton skewers?”

Despite whispering, Liu Mingyu on the near corner heard everything she said as she scanned around the room and noticed that she was undoubtedly the only one with noodles, but she ultimately phased out as she lowered her head, pretending not to notice the anomaly.

Yang Chen chuckled as he brought himself close to Lin Ruoxi’s ears before he said, “Mingyu has her dad to watch after her.
It’s not the end of the world if she loses her job at Yu Lei.
Her dad can still take good care of her.
As for you, when you’re not CEO anymore you will have to come to sell mutton skewers with me.
So now would be the best time for you to get used to the flavor.
I managed to borrow a stall’s equipment for a bit to grill these myself!”

Lin Ruoxi was embarrassed as she agitatedly stared at him.
“Is it very funny? I don’t need time to get used to it!”

Yang Chen shrugged as he taunted, “Well if you’re not eating then I’ll just pass these to Mingyu as well.
What a pity, I spent a long time to roast these…”

Lin Ruoxi immediately replied, “Wait! I—I haven’t eaten dinner yet as well.”

“I thought you just said you didn’t need to get used to it? Wifey, how could you change your mind so quickly?” Yang Chen asked innocently.

“Well, that’s what women do.
I can fill my stomach with these, can’t i?” Lin Ruoxi did not hesitate as she took them off Yang Chen’s hands and started nibbling away.

The executives binged on the snacks while blabbering with one another.
Despite the chaos of the company, they found it refreshing to watch their CEO eat mutton skewers.

Yang Chen meanwhile placed the rest of the mutton skewers in front of Lin Ruoxi.
There were at least twenty of them.
Turning around, he said to the others, “Nobody’s allowed to take any of my wife’s mutton skewers! If I catch you, I’ll kick you off the building!”

“Huh? Understood!”

The executives present were stupefied by his remark, but they ultimately agreed in unison.
After all, it wasn’t as if anyone would fight with their CEO for food.

Lin Ruoxi lifted her leg and lightly kicked Yang Chen on the calf.
Her face was as red as a tomato, visibly embarrassed by Yang Chen’s actions.

Yang Chen was proudly giggling, with no sign of embarrassment as he went ahead and tidied up the plastic bags, ready to leave the room.

Lin Ruoxi asked, “Are you going over to Qianni’s?”

Yang Chen halted his footsteps and replied with a smirk on his face, “My wife is indeed smart.”

“Hmph.” Lin Ruoxi was not having it.
“How considerate of you.”

Yang Chen sighed, “Well it cannot be helped, I’m a busy man, after Qianni I still have to deliver to An Xin too.”

“An Xin?” This time even Liu Mingyu was in all ears, as she wiped on her lips dripped with beef noodle broth.
“An Xin is still here?”

“Of course,” Yang Chen continued with a smug.
“If not for her, I couldn’t have gone out to buy supper.
This is what I call teamwork.”

“Well, it sounds to me that you’re just finding an excuse to laze about.” Lin Ruoxi agitatedly bit the meat off the stick, disgusted to even look at this thick-skinned brat any longer.

Right at this moment, Yang Chen shifted his course and dashed towards Lin Ruoxi, before bending down and giving her a tight smooch on the face.

That sound instantly caught everybody’s attention in the room.

Lin Ruoxi was stupefied as she caressed the side of her face which got damp as a result.
She nearly suffocated from the sudden public affection.

Yang Chen winked as he declared, “Whatever it is, just relax.
No matter the outcome, I will be there to bear it.”

Lin Ruoxi dreamily gawked at her husband, before she finally caught on to her senses and nodded.

“Fret not! In the legends, there’s Xi Shi the femme fatale, whose beauty brought the nation to prosperity.
You can always be the Xi Shi to my mutton skewer stand!” Yang Chen proudly announced while beating his chest.

Just a while ago she was touched by his words, but now she felt nothing but annoyance.
“Get out!”

Yang Chen instantly darted out of the conference room, while at the same time boastfully waving goodbye to the executives present, which prompted them to all roll their eyes.

Lin Mingyu tried her best not to break into laughter as she continued slurping on the noodles.
She then remembered something.
“Boss Lin, if I remember correctly, there will be three major land auctions tomorrow over at Zhangzhou.
We were previously keen on bidding.
But now that our cards are on the table, should we proceed as planned?”

Lin Ruoxi, upon hearing information regarding business, instantly transformed back to her stern and stoical self.
“Of course we’ll continue.
But this time I’ll delegate someone else in your stead, I need you around to lead the public relations department.”

“But Boss Lin, I don’t think that’s appropriate.” Another executive interrupted their discussion.
“Our share price has dropped for thirty percent already! If we proceed with the auction of such astronomical amounts, especially when our opponents are all on offense, aren’t we basically committing suicide?”

“Yeah, Boss Lin, it’ll only lead us to a point of no return!”

Lin Ruoxi was visibly unhappy as she replied, “I’m deeply aware of the consequences, but if we turn it down we’d basically be declaring to the world that we’re defeated.
Our employees would completely lose their confidence too.”

Hearing her reasoning, they found it rather reasonable.
It is most terrifying should one lose their spirit to battle.

At this moment, a temporary assistant came running into the conference room as he hurriedly said, “Boss Lin, devastating news.
A few of our major shareholders are threatening to change the CEO, or they’ll sell their shares at filthy-low prices!”
