Chapter 5: Gentle President

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next morning, Chu Yi woke up naturally at six o’clock. She felt a little nervous as she thought about facing the CEO alone on her second day.

She arrived at the company at exactly 7:30 and just as she finished preparing various meeting and report materials, Song Ting had already entered the office.

Seeing the documents on the table and the coffee on the left-hand side, Song Ting felt a little gratified. It seemed that the new secretary was doing a good job.

Chu Yi and Song Ting worked together very well during the department meeting that morning.

Wang Lin was initially worried but she was impressed to see that Chu Yi had prepared everything thoroughly.

Chu Yi would place every document that the department managers mentioned in front of Song Ting in advance. With just a glance from Song Ting, Chu Yi would be able to find the needed documents or even bring him coffee. The tacit understanding between them seemed to have been working together for many years.

Chu Yi could even help to find the data PowerPoint needed by the various department managers.

It was clear that Chu Yi had done a lot of work the day before, as everything during the meeting went smoothly.

It was almost noon when the meeting finally ended, Chu Yi had not made any mistakes. Not even did Wang Lin impressed, but the other department managers were also polite to her and showed some admiration in their eyes.

Just as she returned to the CEO’s office and Chu Yi was about to start reporting on the afternoon’s work, Song Ting’s private phone rang.

Chu Yi tactfully left and closed the door after seeing Song Ting answer the call.

Song Ting cleared his throat and said, “Grandma.”

The voice on the other end of the phone also made Song Ting frown.

“You still remember that I’m your grandma? Come home with your wife for dinner today.” Grandma Wan Ping’s voice echoed.

Song Ting, who had initially intended to refuse, found himself at a loss for words.

Back then, the Song family had a fierce internal conflict. In order not to involve Song Ting, Father Song sent him to his grandma’s house early on and let him live with grandma Wan Ping under the name ‘Wan Yan’. It was not until Song Ting took over the Song family, dealt with those who had malicious intentions, and strengthened the Song Corporation that Song Ting finally appeared in front of the public.

During the time that he went by the name ‘Wan Yan’, grandma had already arranged a marriage for him. However, a year ago, Song Ting had to go overseas to deal with the internal strife within the Song Corporation, and he hadn’t returned to the country since obtaining his marriage certificate.

Thinking of his wife, whom he had only met once, Song Ting felt a little guilty.

It had been a year since they had last seen each other, and they had not even spoken on the phone. He wondered if she was to blame with him.

When Song Ting did not answer, Wan Ping thought that her grandson was trying to refuse her invitation once again. She spoke discontentedly, “You abandoned your wife in the country for a year, and you still haven’t visited her after your return. That’s just unacceptable. Remember to buy her some gifts and coax her. Girls like to be coaxed, do you understand?”

“Alright,” Song Ting thought of his wife and smiled slightly.

It had been a year since he last saw her, and he wondered how she was doing. Perhaps she thought he was a scammer?

After hanging up, Song Ting called in Chu Yi and Wang Lin.

“Prepare a bouquet of roses and my blue suit. Tell President Shen that I’ll reschedule our appointment for another day.” Song Ting smiled warmly.

“Prepare roses?” Chu Yi was curious, but she didn’t dare to ask.

Wang Lin had been working with Song Ting for a long time and teased, “CEO Song is leaving on time today? Are the roses for me? My husband will get jealous.”

It was rare for Song Ting to not have a cold expression. “It’s for my wife. We’re going back to the old mansion for dinner today.”

Chu Yi felt that the CEO was really good to his wife and was so gentle.

Wang Lin felt as if she had been struck by lightning. CEO Song’s wife? Was it the wife who had been married for a year and had not seen her?

However, seeing Chu Yi beside her, Wang Lin really couldn’t bear to expose Song Ting.

If Song Ting was a good boss, the answer was yes. If he was a good husband, Wang Lin would disagree. He had been by Song Ting’s side for so long, but ever since he registered his marriage, he had never mentioned his wife.

Thinking of that poor Madam Song, Wang Lin said sympathetically, “CEO Song, do you think just a bouquet of roses is enough to impress your wife?”

Wang Lin’s implication was, “You didn’t even make a phone call in so long. It’s impossible for you to coax your wife with just a bouquet of roses.”

When Song Ting saw Wang Lin’s expression, he also guessed it.

He thought about what Grandma had just said and pondered for a moment. “Pack the sapphire necklace that I bought last time. I’ll bring it to my wife later.”

This time, it was Wang Lin who was shocked. “That fifty million sapphire necklace?”

Chu Yi finally spoke up when she heard this. “Fifty million!”

Wang Lin looked at Chu Yi, who was as surprised as she was and nodded silently.

However, Song Ting did not grasp the main point. “Don’t women like sapphires?”
