Chapter 111: What Is a Proper Relationship
Chapter 111
Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "No, no, no, he\'s not busy, but I don\'t feel assured with him going alone with you. I\'ll drive the car."
Yu Sheng thought for two seconds and nodded.
In the car, Yu Sheng rested with his eyes closed. His rugged, handsome face looked a little sickly.
Zhao Yan couldn\'t help but glance at him in the rearview mirror.
President Yu had taken a few days off and now he looked completely different than before.
It was as if he was a clock that had been wound up for years on end, stretched taut all this time.
Now he suddenly seemed relaxed, like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
In the past three years, President Yu had created so many miracles for the company and the marketing department. He had always been Zhao Yan\'s idol and motivation to move forward.
President Yu deserved to relax for a bit.

"Time to eat, time to eat..."
The logistics team called out loudly at the door of the photography studio.
After working hard for half a day, everyone hurried over to the temporary dining area set up near the door.
The dining area was outdoors.
The afternoon sun was scorching hot, but there was only one fan at the dining area.
Li Zhen was the first to arrive. She took four boxed meals, including Zhang Xiya and the others\'. She hurried over to the table closest to the fan.
The fan, she had come for it!
Li Zhen put the boxed meals down on the table and pulled out a chair to sit down.
But with a "plop" she sat right down onto the ground instead.
Li Zhen: ...
She sat heavily on the ground. The pain in her bottom was secondary. She was always at her weakest and most uncomfortable when she had her period.
Having just started her period, her stomach felt instantly twisted up and she was in so much pain that beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
When she looked up, she saw Lin Si standing tall right next to her, laughing at her. "Li Zhen, you\'ve been idle all morning, and now you want the best seat too?"
Lin Si looked down at Li Zhen writhing in pain on the ground. She felt extremely gleeful inside.
Just now, she had been similarly humiliated by Assistant Fei and had walked away sullenly, not daring to make a sound.
And then she saw Li Zhen blatantly flirting with the new deputy general manager over and over again.
Lin Si had been fuming for a long time. Now she finally felt gratified.
"With the state you\'re in, I don\'t know why General Manager Lu would be seduced by you, you slut!" Lin Si\'s spiteful gaze swept over Li Zhen.
"Are your eyes connected to your bladder? You think every woman you see is a slut?" Li Zhen clenched her teeth and used the small dining table to pull herself up.
Lin Si\'s face darkened. "How can you speak so vulgarly?"
"Compared to your eyes, my mouth is much cleaner," Li Zhen retorted, looking around.
Boxed meals?
No, throwing boxed meals at someone wouldn\'t hurt.
The table?
No, the table wouldn\'t work either. Tang Wanwan had tried to flip a table before and couldn\'t even move it.
Chairs?
The chairs looked promising. Hitting someone with a chair would definitely hurt.
She should be able to swing one too.
But her stomach was twisted in pain. She didn\'t know if she could win in a fight against Lin Si like this.
Li Zhen\'s eyes darted around, looking for something to use. Sensing trouble, Lin Si said uneasily, "What are you... thinking of doing? I fell because of you this morning too. Let\'s just call it even. You can\'t hit me! Don\'t underestimate me just because I\'m a beauty. I\'ve trained in karate!"
"You\'re so impressive, a beauty and a karate expert..." Li Zhen glanced at her disdainfully as she picked up a chair. "Do you think you\'re a goat who just farted, trying to be all stylish and flirty?"
Lin Si\'s face turned red and pale in quick succession.
She was furious at being insulted, but didn\'t dare talk back...
Mainly because Li Zhen had picked up a chair.
Lin Si was all bark and no bite.
But Li Zhen really intended to hit someone!
Lin Si retreated two steps, but bumped into something hard behind her.
Looking back, she saw Yu Sheng\'s face dark with anger, firmly holding a chair.
"Yu... President Yu..." Lin Si\'s voice went shrill with fright.
The people who had just come out of the studio door were stunned into silence by the scene before them.
"What did you just call her?" Yu Sheng\'s voice was as cold as ice. The chair in his hand was raised high.
Lin Si\'s legs went weak and she plopped down onto the ground in terror.
It looked like Yu Sheng was about to smash the chair down on her.
Li Zhen rushed over and snatched the chair away with a "snap", throwing it to the ground. "Yu Sheng, you can\'t smash someone with a chair. You could kill them!"
"Didn\'t you want to hit her? I said, leave the rough stuff to me." Yu Sheng spoke calmly.
Everyone: ...
Whoa, the implications of that sentence were HUGE!
Everyone\'s minds were still hyperventilating over the CP between Li Zhen and General Manager Lu that morning.
And now President Yu had sprung this on them!
Their brains short-circuited.
It was a bit hard to process!
Zhao Yan looked at everyone, then at Yu Sheng.
Oh no, it looked like their intimate relationship was exposed.
Office romances meant getting fired at Honghai Corporation!
Li Zhen was furious. "I\'m nothing like you! You don\'t know your own strength when you lash out!"
"But she insulted you," Yu Sheng said coldly, his frosty, taciturn gaze fixed on Lin Si cowering on the ground. His eyes were like icy arrows.
Lin Si\'s legs were trembling.
Yu Sheng could still hear Lin Si\'s "seduced General Manager Lu" and "slut" from earlier echoing in his ears.
"Even when I scold my own woman, I think carefully before saying anything. Yet you dared to hurl insults so freely!" Yu Sheng\'s expression was blank as he picked up the chair again.
Everyone: ...
Whoa mama!
This was INTENSE!
What did he mean by Li Zhen being his woman?!
Boyfriend and girlfriend?
Friends with benefits?
Office affair?
Usually when there was juicy gossip like this, someone would have already leaked it to the Hunks\' Banquet chat group.
But everyone was on tenterhooks now, straining to find out what exactly the relationship between these two was.
They were listening more attentively than when teachers revealed exam questions before the Gaokao!
Ren Zongshun was stunned speechless on the spot.
Thank goodness, thank goodness!
In the past, he hadn\'t really bullied Li Zhen, and only adjusted her work schedule a couple of times to help Jiang Kening.
Thankfully he hadn\'t gone further than that!
Otherwise, his grave would probably be covered with two meters of grass by now.
Who could have imagined that Li Zhen and President Yu had this kind of relationship!
Zhang Xiya, Qiao Yi and Meng Yuanjie struck praying poses. "Poor Li Zhen, she\'s going to get fired now... will the company let her go without paying the penalty fee?" Zhang Xiya worriedly asked Ren Zongshun.
Ren Zongshun worriedly asked back: "Do you think I\'ve treated Li Zhen decently these past three years?"
Li Zhen didn\'t notice any of the commotion at the studio door at all.
All her attention was focused on the chair in Yu Sheng\'s hand. He clearly intended to lash out fiercely. His grip would be too strong to restrain.
Enduring the stabbing pain in her stomach, she stretched out both hands to shield Lin Si behind her. "Forget it. Women insulting each other isn\'t a big deal. Put the chair down first."
Seeing someone shielding her, Lin Si still didn\'t know better and said, "That\'s right, President Yu, you can\'t hit me. You and Li Zhen have an improper relationship. You\'ll both have to be dismissed, you can\'t throw your weight around here anymore."
Yu Sheng gave a cold laugh. "Improper relationship?"
"Li Zhen is my wife. How is that not a proper relationship?"
"Then you tell me, what is a proper relationship?"
Li Zhen: ...
Everyone: ...
Fei Zhao: ...
Fei Zhao was scared out of his wits. He glanced anxiously at the person standing next to him.
