Becoming Audacious After Marriage: Madam, Please Keep A Low Profile Chapter 13
Advertisement
On the 46th floor of Yuzun Group, in the President's office.
Li Beichen crossed his long legs and leaned back in his chair with an aura of arrogance. Looking at the message on his phone, he seemed a little unhappy.
The President had not been in a good mood for the past two days. Could it be a premarital phobia? Thinking of that possibility, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but feel speechless.
"President, there's a call from the capital of Huadu saying that your wife ran… ran away."
Wife?
Recalling the drunk woman last night, Li Beichen narrowed his eyes angrily.
He glanced at Cheng Yuan from the corner of his eyes and said, "In the future, don't disturb me with her matters."
Hearing that, Cheng Yuan was shocked.
Initially, she thought that the President had some feelings for Shi Yuxuan as he had brought her into the capital.
However, from the looks of it now, it was really just a business marriage.
"Besides that, cancel the banquet at Kaiyue Hotel." Li Beichen stared at the message on his phone, and it sunk into the depths of his eyes. The depths were like a forbidden zone that no one could pry into.
Cancel?
Not only was the banquet a prime time to discuss the major project, but it was also related to acquiring the noble title and he wanted to cancel it?
For some reason, the President seemed to be very restless today. Could it be because of the message on his phone that he was staring at? Cheng Yuan was a little confused and she stood rooted to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Li Beichen's voice was low but powerful, so cold that it was frightening. It was like a glacier, and Cheng Yuan could not breathe.
However, she was indeed the woman who had been his special assistant for three years. She immediately put away her surprise and replied in a clear and crisp voice, "Yes, I'll pass down the orders now."

Li Beichen did not say anything else and left the office.
"Ding—"
It was another text message. 'Room 1612 at the Milan Garden Hotel.'
That woman with Qiao Wenqian was really persistent.
Li Beichen's eyes darkened.
…
Although it was an old-fashioned bicycle, Yuxuan did not feel out of place and did not mind.
Indeed she was the daughter of Sophia's CEO, Shi Qi, but they were not related by blood. Before she was adopted, she was just a child from the orphanage.
She had experienced tough times before.
Around lunchtime, she arrived at Yuzun. After parking the bicycle, she tidied her messy hair slightly and walked into the Yuzun looking relatively presentable.
It was just that she had coincidentally bumped into the mealtime of the employees, and many people were coming and going and everyone was just squeezing past each other.
After all, it was a corporation that controlled the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of employees. It was understandable that there were so many people.
Yuxuan could only wait.
If she had forced herself into the crowd, she would probably come out as a piece of paper.
Just as she was about to retreat, someone pushed her into the elevator. Yuxuan's frail body was pushed to the corner of the elevator before she could even stand properly. Uncomfortable would have been an understatement.
Since it was impossible to get out, she could only endure it. Luckily, this crowd of people was all leaving at level 33, since Li Beichen was the President, his office would be on the top floor.
With this thought, Yuxuan decided to wait calmly. She would be able to catch her breath when all these employees get off the elevator.
However, on the 33rd floor, the group of people squeezed her out.
Before she could react, she felt a sudden weight on her arm.

When she came back to her senses, a thick stack of documents had already been thrown into her arms.
The woman in front of her was dressed in professional attire and her hair was tied into a bun. She ordered her arrogantly, "Newcomer, hand these documents to the File Management Department on the 21st floor."
Newcomer?
Yuxuan twitched her lips in helplessness. She knew that she had been mistaken as an intern.
Just as she was about to explain, the woman had already left anxiously on her stilettos and went on to work on other matters.
What in the world?
Yuxuan's face darkened, her original plans had been disrupted.
