I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 273: Surrender to Oneself

The next morning, Cheng Yue woke up early.

She glanced at Chu Lin, still asleep beside her, furrowed her brows as she got up, gathered the scattered dirty clothes, put them into the washing machine, and then went to bathe and freshen up.

Looking at the dense marks all over her own body in the mirror, she gently placed her hand on her slightly bulging abdomen.

After the bath, Cheng Yue approached the now-awake Chu Lin and said, "Last night I went to ask mom and dad to sign, they said today’s Saturday we’re going to Uncle’s house for a family dinner, Xiao Xi is going too, don’t forget."

Chu Lin clutched his throbbing temples and responded coldly, "Hmm."

Cheng Yue opened the text messages on her phone and addressed Chu Lin, "Mr. Chu, I know we don’t like each other, but you should understand that I am nominally your fiancée now, and you are the father of the child in my belly. You can fool around outside, but don’t let your flings get in my sight, or I won’t be merciful. Also, I won’t hold it against you for getting drunk last night, but I hope the next time you get drunk, you can come back after you’ve sobered up..."

Chu Lin, massaging his sore temples from the alcohol, looked at Cheng Yue and uttered, "Hmm."

Cheng Yue took a deep breath, returned to her room to put on makeup and change clothes, preparing for the visit to the Yang Family later.

Chu Lin looked at the side of the bed that still had Cheng Yue’s long hair and frowned deeply.

Cheng Yue was not the type he fancied; in fact, he could say he loathed her. When he first entered Chu Neng, he was assigned a ’human surveillance camera’ like Cheng Yue, practically a monitor in the company that could keep tabs on him at any moment.

Despite coming from a decent family background, Cheng Yue was very utilitarian, often unscrupulous in achieving her goals, such as drinking the drugged drink herself to ensure Zhou Jiameng would end up in jail as revenge for the constant tripping up.

When she found out that he was still seeing his ex-girlfriend before their engagement, she was capable of buying internet traffic and trending searches, aiming to smoothly take over his mother’s position at Chu Neng.

So utilitarian, so relentless, Chu Lin’s least favorite were exactly such people, but ever since he knew he had been used by her twice to become a stepping stone for her to rise to the position of Vice President of Chu Neng, Chu Lin wanted even more for Cheng Yue to submit to him.

Chu Lin wiped the corner of his injured lips and got up to head to the bathroom.

Inside Shiyi Hotel.

Yuan Xi was awoken by the sound of Lele calling out ’dad’. She opened her eyes and saw Huo Shiyuan at the foot of the bed holding Lele, "Say ’dad’ again."

"Dada! Dada!"

Huo Shiyuan smiled and gently touched Lele’s little face, "Good little Lele."

By now, Yuan Xi felt a sourness in her heart. She went over, snatched Lele from Huo Shiyuan’s arms, "Lele, how can you call dad first? You should have called mom first."

Little Lele blinked and plunged into Yuan Xi’s arms, "Dada, dada."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan with a sour expression.

Huo Shiyuan laughed lightly, "It’s fair, An An called you first, and Lele called me first."

Yuan Xi said, "Lele baby, say ’mama’, mama."

Little Lele reached out and held onto Yuan Xi’s hair, whereas Yuan Xi turned towards Huo Shiyuan, "Did you only teach Lele to call ’dad’?"

Huo Shiyuan rubbed Yuan Xi’s head, "You accuse me of being jealous of a child, what about you? Just because Lele called me first, aren’t you jealous too?"

Yuan Xi looked at her little daughter in her arms and said, "Lele too is calling me ’dada’, she surely doesn’t understand the meaning of dad and mom, An An only calls me ’mom’."

Little Lele smiled at Yuan Xi, "Dada."

Yuan Xi kissed Little Lele’s forehead, "Today I will take you to meet your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi, "Going to the Yang Family’s place?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Yes, we’ll go to the Liang Family tomorrow, we will visit the Yang Family first today."

Huo Shiyuan said, "Okay."

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan both had projects in Jiang City, so they went to the Yang Family for a visit early on.

This was the first time the two children visited the Yang Family, and the grandmother, aunts, and Yuan Xi’s several cousins from the Yang Family were all very fond of the children.

Yuan Xi then went to discuss the Haima Car project with Uncle Yang together with Huo Shiyuan. This project was immense and necessitated the construction of a new factory, which could not proceed without support from Jiang City.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan talked with Uncle Yang all morning, and it wasn’t until lunchtime that Chu Lin and Cheng Yue arrived belatedly.

When Cheng Yue arrived, Yang Kexin pulled out a chair for her: "Cousin-in-law, here."

Cheng Yue chuckled and said, "Thank you."

Yang Kexin smiled and replied, "No need to thank me, you’re pregnant, it’s my duty to take care of you."

Yuan Xi looked towards Cheng Yue and Chu Lin sitting opposite her and greeted only Cheng Yue, "Sister Cheng Yue."

Cheng Yue nodded at Yuan Xi and said, "Xiao Xi."

Lele in Yuan Xi’s arms looked towards Cheng Yue, "Sis... Auntie..."

Yuan Xi laughed softly, "Not sister, she is auntie, mama..."

But Lele kept calling dad, dad.

The baby’s soft, mushy tone made everyone smile along.

Grandma of the Yang Family said, "Next year, when the child in Cheng Yue’s belly is born, it will be even more lively."

Yang Ying said with a smile, "Yes, Cheng Yue’s due date is in February next year, the New Year’s celebrations will certainly be lively then."

After dining with the Yang Family, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan did not linger long at the Yang residence. Despite the heavy rain the previous night, today’s weather remained scorchingly hot. After lunch, Yuan Xi went back to the hotel with Huo Shiyuan and the two children.

Yuan Xi watched as Huo Shiyuan played with the children while she prepared the content for the upcoming shareholders’ meeting.

After all, this trip to Jiang City was primarily about work.

These past few days, Yuan Xi had not left the hotel except for meals at the Yang and Liang households.

On the Monday of the shareholders’ meeting, Yuan Xi got up early and had a stylist come over to do her makeup and hair. Dressed in a sky-blue silk blouse and a flared suit skirt, she and Huo Shiyuan headed to Michen Building for the shareholders’ meeting.

The important issue for this shareholders’ meeting was Michen’s transformation towards the manufacturing sector.

Yuan Xi held 41 percent of the shares, and she indeed had decision-making power regarding Michen Group’s investment in the automotive industry. However, this matter definitely needed to be communicated with the other shareholders, as the subsequent investments would represent a significant expense for Michen.

The meeting lasted a full three hours and, with unanimous consent from all shareholders, the proposition to acquire Haima Car was approved.

Mr. Gu, with his hands braced on the wooden table in front of him, said, "After the acquisition of Haima Car, it will be renamed. I have three names for the car brand: Qichen, Zhongchen, and another under the Michen name."

Yuan Xi, seeing Qichen, said, "Qichen is better."

Mr. Gu remarked, "But I think Zhongchen is better, Zhong is my wife’s family name."

Yuan Xi: "..."

Huo Shiyuan: "..."

All shareholders: "..."

Yuan Xi coughed lightly, "The character ’Zhong’ is not suitable. Although Zhongchen sounds like loyalty, it can also imply ’the end of a journey,’ which isn’t very auspicious for a car company. Qichen, on the other hand, suggests setting sail for a new Chapter, symbolizing the start of Michen entering into the manufacturing industry. Mr. Gu, I hope you will work hard in the coming days to ensure that Michen’s stock price continues to soar."
