The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1821: Office Chitchat

The group of girls in the PR department were very excited to see Ye Shikai return. As one of the few "male comrades" in the PR department, Ye Shikai was always quite popular there.

"Hey, isn’t this the heartthrob Ye Handsome? Haven’t seen you for several months, how come you came back suddenly and didn’t let me know?" At this moment, a woman walked in from the door, and everyone quieted down immediately upon seeing her.

"Oh, it’s Team Leader Wan, long time no see." Of course, Ye Shikai hadn’t forgotten her; Wanna was one of An Lan’s team leaders, and when Ye Shikai worked at Tianya Group, she was already a team leader. Now, she had long since been promoted.

"What’s going on, returning suddenly without a word? Couldn’t make it outside so want to come back? If that’s really the case, I can open a back door for you now," she said.

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I’m back for other reasons this time." Ye Shikai said with a faint smile. Well, everyone in the company should know about his divorce from Su Qingyu, and Wanna pulling him in would inadvertently provoke Su Qingyu. Wanna’s words were just a formality.

"You’re not planning to see President Su, are you?"

"How do you know?" Ye Shikai countered.

"You just arrived at the group, but didn’t go looking around, and President Su is currently in a meeting; you must be waiting for her, right?"

"That’s right, I’m here to see her."

"Ahem, Ye Handsome, it’s crowded and people are nosy here, let’s talk in the office." Without waiting for Ye Shikai to respond, Wanna pulled his hand into the office.

"Hey, what’s this about?"

"There were a lot of people and busybodies outside just now, and your identity is unique. I was worried some words would be gossiped about by those girls, so I found a quiet place; this glass is soundproof, outsiders can’t hear." Wanna suddenly seemed on edge, as if someone were spying on them.

"A unique identity, what’s unique about my identity?" Ye Shikai retorted. In the eyes of those girls outside, he was neither the Netherworld King nor some master cultivator, just a man living off someone...

"You’ve divorced President Su; of course, your identity is unique."

"Oh, that’s what you meant." Ye Shikai rolled his eyes. "I had other reasons."

"I get it. After all, people in the Chen Group are making waves in Yanjing, and marrying her surely benefits you more."

Ye Shikai was momentarily speechless. He didn’t expect Wanna to see him this way, like parting with Su Qingyu to marry Chen Yuxin was just to secure a better future. Maybe those girls in the PR department thought the same...

"So this is how you see me?" Ye Shikai never imagined this was how everyone viewed him, sigh, really lacking dignity.

"Speaking of which, since you all think I’m living off women, why are you so close to me? Shouldn’t you be despising me?"

"What times are we in now? Besides, you can make two stunning beauties fall for you, that’s talent, isn’t it?"

"Hehe, let’s say you’re complimenting me."

An hour later.

"How come Qingyu’s meeting hasn’t ended yet?" Ye Shikai glanced at his watch. It was just a few words with Wanna, but already an hour had passed, and still, the meeting hadn’t ended.

"Ye Handsome, you might have been out of work too long. Any meeting can last one to two hours; meetings and overtime are like everyday meals, and now there are plenty of major issues at the group—a small meeting a day, a large meeting every three days," Wanna replied.

"It’s no problem, I’ll wait a bit longer."

"By the way, have you recently found a high position somewhere?"

"What high position, just wandering around, recently been assisting at the police station," Ye Shikai said.

"Fair enough, you’re Chen family’s son-in-law now, won’t starve even without a job, so you’re just bored and joined the police?"

"You misunderstand, I’m not a cop." Ye Shikai shook his head, explaining, "I’m just there assisting with cases."

"In cases, is it serial killing, bloody dismemberment, or ghosts reappearing..."

"Stop, stop, nothing that gory, what are you thinking?" Ye Shikai hastily interrupted her, the conversation was getting outrageous.

"Where’s the ghost? Have you been watching too many supernatural tales?" Ye Shikai argued.

"Haven’t you watched urban ghost stories?" Wanna countered.

"No, and I don’t want to watch," Ye Shikai flatly rejected. From a normal person’s perspective, seeing a cultivator using Inner Strength would surely be considered a supernatural event...

"Then what case are you solving?"

"Um, there’s no need for you to know, it’s not a good thing," Ye Shikai replied vaguely. The serial disappearance case had no leads yet, but since it’s a major case, he couldn’t talk about it casually.

"I’ve read in those supernatural tales, it happens in the dead of night. A person walks on a solitary road and suddenly a monster strikes, leaving no trace."

"Enough, stop guessing, if every case becomes a supernatural event, cops wouldn’t need detective work, just hire monks to exorcise," Ye Shikai said.

...

The two chatted for another hour, and upon seeing An Lan return to the department, Ye Shikai finally walked out of Wanna’s office.

"The meeting was quite urgent; you’ve been waiting, haven’t you?" An Lan said casually.

"It’s alright, I was just chatting with Team Leader Wan." Ye Shikai pointed toward the elevator, "Qingyu should be back at her office, right?"

"You go see her, I didn’t tell her you’re coming, otherwise the meeting couldn’t be held."

"Alright, I’ll head up and then find you later."

Ye Shikai took the elevator and quickly reached the top floor where Su Qingyu’s office was.

"Oh, it’s you." At the door stood Zhuang Yan’s workspace, serving as Su Qingyu’s secretary. She used to regularly see Ye Shikai come up, but since their divorce, Zhuang Yan hadn’t seen him again. So, seeing Ye Shikai this time, she felt particularly excited.

"I have something to talk to her about," Ye Shikai said, intending to enter, but was promptly stopped by Zhuang Yan.

"Wait a minute."

"Zhuang Yan, what’s the meaning of this?" Ye Shikai asked, curious.

"President Su just finished a meeting and is resting inside; I need to inform her. Also, are you really certain she’s willing to see you?" Zhuang Yan understood some of their situation. Ye Shikai initiated the divorce with Su Qingyu, which could surely make any woman despise him, especially a proud one. Zhuang Yan worried Su Qingyu simply didn’t want to see him.
