Chapter 61: The Holiday
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liyu Science & Technology was named after her mother, Huang Liyu, because when the company was established, she had invested 5 million yuan in the company, thereby owning 90% of the total assets of the company. The remaining 10 % was invested by her father Shangguan Zheng. The company was established at the proposal of Shangguan Zheng, but because he held the post of a government officer,he wasn’t permitted to start a private business. However, he was a visionary and realised that starting a private enterprise would bring major financial gains. So he encouraged his wife, Huang Liyu,to start a company instead of him.
At that time, Huang Liyu was pregnant and the foetus wasn’t in a proper position. So her entire focus was on taking care of her health and that of the baby. However, when she realised Shangguan Zheng so eager to start a company, she didn’t hesitate even for a moment. She agreed to invest the entire inheritance that her parents had left to her. A stately sum of 5 million yuan. Both parents then requested Shangguan Xing, Shangguan Zheng’s brother, who had just graduated from university, to manage the daily affairs of the company.
Shangguan Xing agreed instantly, considering the fact that this huge opportunity had just fallen into his lap, without any monetary investment from his side. He was in charge of administration and development.
Shangguan Ning had always thought that her mother was very naive to have lent out such a huge amount of money without much consideration for her own self. Years later, Shangguan Ning realised that she had been equally silly, to have devoted herself to Xie Zhuojun, with all her heart.
Men always grow complacent when they realise that they have a woman’s full devotion.
Shangguan Zheng was like this, so was Xie Zhuojun.
Shangguan Ning was really hurt at the sight of the words “Liyu Science & Technology” in the newspaper.
She forced herself to read the entire report. It was only then that she understood that Liyu Science & Technology had entered the cell-phone market.
Originally, Liyu Science & Technology was only devoted to the development of other electronic devices. The company manufactured world class Fridges, washing machines and air-conditioners.Their products were top class and they had an excellent sales record. It was one of the most reputed enterprises in A City.
And now it had started to manufacture cell-phones.
Shangguan Ning’s instinct told her that Liyu Science & Technology wouldn’t achieve much success in the cell phone market. She had a deep understanding of this company and the way it worked. She knew that the technological team was trained and developed by Shangguan Xing and they were skilled at manufacturing home electronics rather than cell-phones. The cell phone market was another ball game altogether. Competition was also quite fierce these days, so they’d better watch out.
While she was lost in thought and deep contemplation, Jing Yichen had already finished making breakfast and called out to her to come and enjoy it with him.
Shangguan Ning put down the newspaper, trying to forget what she had just read, so that she would remain unaffected by these things.
The food Jing Yichen had made was delicious, as usual.Shangguan Ning enjoyed it and ate more than her share of it. She felt that she had gained quite a lot of weight because of the tasty and nutritious food that she had been eating lately.
Having finished their meal, they packed and headed towards the airport.
Jing Yichen had promised Shangguan Ning that they would take a trip together, during the holidays.
They had both lived abroad for several years, so they were both quite familiar with foreign countries. They had almost never visited any domestic destinations, so they decided to visit N City, which had pleasant weather.
N City was a coastal city which had a subtropical climate. It was a famous tourist destination. Currently, it was winter in the North whilst in N City it was warm and pleasant, that’s why they had chosen to visit it for a holiday.
They had just stepped off the plane, when they were surrounded by staff to escort them. Since Jing Yichen was so renowned, several people greeted him courteously and eyed Shangguan Ning in astonishment.
Jing Yichen didn’t like to be followed around. So he politely asked everyone else to leave, except for his designated driver, who would drive them to the hotel.
The driver wasn’t a man of many words. Instead, he nodded politely at Shangguan Ning and then drove them to their place of stay, a fancy five-star hotel, in an streched Lincoln Limousine.
When they entered the hotel, Shangguan Ning realised that their driver was actually the General Manager of the hotel. He had their luggage collected and ensured that the guests had a fast and smooth check in.
Soon they entered a luxurious presidential suite with a breathtaking sea view.It was indeed a feast for the eyes.
Shangguan Ning took a breath of fresh air as she looked at the sea water, the golden sand on the beach and the palm trees. All this made her really happy.
Jing Yichen wrapped her waist in his arms, while he stood behind her and whispered in her ears. “You like it here?”
Shangguan Ning nodded and said with content, “Yes!”
“Then we can come here often,” said Jing Yichen, who loved pampering her.
They took a siesta, changed and went to the beach.
Shangguan Ning wore a red-and-white polka-dot swimming suit which was chosen by Jing Yichen. It wasn’t revealing but showed off her perfect figure.
Her jade-white skin looked even more attractive, in contrast with the red swimsuit.
Seeing her long legs, slender waist and her well endowed bosom, Jing Yichen was infinitely tempted.
He regretted having bought her this swimming suit. Although the swimsuit didn’t expose much, yet he was unable to tolerate other men stare at his lovely wife, with longing.
Shangguan Ning thought that Jing Yichen had good taste. She liked this swimsuit a lot. It consisted of a short sling top with a short skirt bottom. Compared to the bikinis that everyone wore at the beach, she was already conventionally dressed.
Even though all the men there were eyeing her, all she was aware of was a pair of eyes that belonged to Jing Yichen. They were fixated on her all the time, and she couldn’t help blushing.
She quickly surveyed herself and asked hesitantly, “Anything… wrong?”
Anything wrong? It was driving him totally crazy!
He was the only one who was allowed to appreciate her beauty. How could he allow those hungry wolves around them to stare at her, at their will?
Jing Yichen took a deep breath and said lightly, “No, all is well. But you’d better change into another set of clothes. It’s cold and you wouldn’t want to fall ill by being so scantily dressed.”
Shangguan Ning glanced at him in confusion.
What was he saying? It was very hot there. Everyone was dressed this way.
She didn’t think too much about what he said. Instead, she ran to a small stand, bought two coconuts and passed one to Jing Yichen, to sip on.
Jing Yichen took it smilingly and paid for it.
They walked at the beach, hand in hand,until they came to a deserted patch. He said mysteriously, “Wait here, don’t go anywhere. I will be back soon.”
Shangguan Ning didn’t know what he was going to do, but she dare not ask. Instead, she just nodded smilingly.
After Jing Yichen left, she laid down on a deck chair, finished her own coconut and then intended to finish Jing Yichen’s, as well.
It was not very crowded, where she was, making her feel even better. She enjoyed being away from the limelight.
But this feeling didn’t last too long, as she soon saw a group of people walking towards her.
