As soon as I entered the private room, all the staff stood up to greet me.
With a faint smile and a few words of simple encouragement, Lin Chuan sat down in the main seat.
To her left was Kuraki Ruiko, who had just been promoted to general manager.
At this moment, the beautiful woman was dressed in a black and white office lady outfit, her legs tightly wrapped in black stockings, her assets almost bursting out, exuding the aura of a female elite in the workplace.
Raising his glass and looking at the beautiful woman, Lin Chuan said gently, "Miss Leizi, congratulations on your promotion to general manager."
"I may be away from the company frequently in the future, so I'll have to rely on you to help with the company's development."
Upon hearing this, Kuraki Ruiko felt flattered and quickly raised her glass to clink with his: "Chairman, you flatter me. I will certainly live up to your trust."
Having said that, he brought the wine glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy liquor traveled down the esophagus and finally settled in the lower abdomen before dispersing.
Instantly, a few faint blushes appeared on Kuraki Ruiko's fair and jade-like face, making her even more charming under the lamplight.
"Haha~, good! Miss Ruiko has a great capacity for alcohol, as expected..."
Throughout the rest of the time, staff members would occasionally offer Kuraki Ruiko a toast.
As the newly appointed general manager, Jiaren naturally couldn't refuse their congratulations.
So, unsurprisingly, she drank too much.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the celebratory banquet slowly came to a close.
Gradually, the employees left in groups of three or five, until only Lin Chuan and Kuraki Ruiko, who was slumped over the table, remained.
"They are quite sensible."
He uttered a soft exclamation of admiration, then came to Kuraki Ruiko's side, grasped her arm with his right hand, and put his left arm around her slender waist, gently helping her up: "Ruiko, I'll take you home."
Opening her eyes groggily, Kuraki Ruiko gazed at Lin Chuan's handsome profile and mumbled drunkenly, "Chairman, I can still drink."
"You don't believe me? I'll prove it..."
As he spoke, he reached out his left hand to grab the bottle.
But just as it reached halfway into the air, Lin Chuan stopped it: "Okay! Okay! You can drink, now tell me where you live? I'll take you home."
"My home, my home is in..."
As they were talking, the beauty, feeling a surge of intoxication, nestled her head in Lin Chuan's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
With no other option, Lin Chuan ended up booking a room at a nearby hotel.
After a while, when he came out of the bathroom, looking at Kuraki Ruiko lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, Lin Chuan gently shook his head.
Just then, a phone rang from her bag.
Picking up his phone, Lin Chuan saw the nickname "Lu Bianjun" on the screen and raised an eyebrow slightly.
In order not to disturb the woman's rest, he helped her turn off her phone.
A moment later, just as she put her phone back in her bag, Kuraki Ruiko murmured softly, "Water... I want to drink water."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan picked up a bottle of water from the bedside table, unscrewed it, and handed it to her: "Lei Zi, drink this."
After chugging down almost half the bottle, Kuraki Ruiko opened her hazy, drunken eyes and reached out to stroke Lin Chuan's handsome face: "Chairman, if only you were my boyfriend."
Since things have come to this point, if Lin Chuan doesn't do something, then he shouldn't be called Lin Chuan anymore; he should just change his name to TJ.
The next moment, Lin Chuan tightened his grip on her slender waist and said in a deep voice, "Then tonight, I will be your boyfriend."
Having said that, he lowered his head and captured those lips, which shimmered faintly under the lamplight...
Gradually, soft whispers drifted through the room.
Midway through, Kuraki Ruiko's astonished voice rang out: "Chairman, what's wrong?"
"Da, da me"
After a long while, when everything had calmed down, Lin Chuan smiled as he looked at the beautiful woman who had buried her head in his arms.
Now that she had regained her senses and understood what had happened, the woman felt completely confused and didn't know how to react.
Although she had some reservations about her boyfriend, she never considered betraying him, but now...
Lin Chuan gently stroked her smooth face with his right hand and said softly, "Lei Zi, be my woman from now on! I will give you a platform to realize your ambitions."
Upon hearing this, Kuraki Ruiko's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, but she ultimately chose to decline: "I appreciate the chairman's kind offer, but I have a boyfriend..."
"
"Oh~, you have a boyfriend? Then why...?"
Lin Chuan quickly stopped mid-sentence, realizing what he was saying.
But Kuraki Ruiko, who was well aware of the meaning, wore a complicated expression.
Her relationship with her boyfriend has always been one where the woman is more successful than the man.
In this situation, if she even frowned, the other party would immediately bow and apologize.
This is why, even though they had been dating for more than two years, they had only ever held hands and hadn't even kissed, ultimately giving Lin Chuan the benefit of the situation.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan reached out and gently smoothed the stray hairs by her ear, saying softly, "I respect your choice, Leizi."
"But I'll grant you one request, can you grant me one in return?"
"I want to maintain this relationship with you! Not long, just until dawn."
"When dawn breaks, you will still be the company's general manager, while I will only be the chairman of the board."
Faced with this suggestion, Kuraki Ruiko's expression shifted several times before she nodded slightly in agreement...
Around midnight, Lin Chuan had just helped Jiaren turn on her phone when a call came in.
Under his pleading gaze, he pressed the answer button and held the phone to the other person's ear.
"W-what's the matter?"
"What? Do I need to report to you what I do?!"
"No, uh-huh~, it's nothing, just a bit of a cold."
"I'm hanging up! I need to rest. 4.8"
A moment later, after Kuraki Ruiko hung up the phone, Lin Chuan leaned close to her ear and said with a hint of amusement, "I didn't expect Ruiko to not only have outstanding professional skills, but also..."
Upon hearing this, Kuraki Ruiko blushed and pouted with displeasure, "Boss~"
Seeing her shy and timid appearance, Lin Chuan felt as refreshed as if he had downed a bottle of cold drink on a sweltering summer day.
Before they knew it, dawn had broken, and the two had finished tidying up, but neither of them made a move.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Chuan suddenly reached out and grasped the beauty's snow-white, soft hand. Gazing at her increasingly alluring face, he said gently, "Lei Zi, there's still some time before work, so why don't you..."
Faced with this suggestion, Kuraki Ruiko buried her head deep in her chest, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently a few times...
Chapter 233 A Date with Michiyo
Inside the company, when they discovered that Kuraki Ruiko had come with Lin Chuan, everyone's eyes revealed a gossipy look, but they wisely chose not to ask any more questions.
Otherwise, the other party will be embarrassed, but you might end up with a resignation letter.
After sitting in the office for about half an hour, Lin Chuan opened the door and said in a deep voice, "Lei Zi, come in for a moment."
Kuraki Ruiko, who was busy in front of her computer, blushed slightly upon hearing this.
She then got up from her seat and walked over, her long legs tightly wrapped in black stockings.
As soon as she entered the office, Lin Chuan pinned her against the wall.
Looking at the exceptionally handsome chairman before her, Kuraki Ruiko stammered, "Chairman...the agreement we made before..."
But before she could finish speaking, Lin Chuan interrupted her: "Really? That's not what Ruizi said at the end~ Do you remember what you promised me?"
Upon hearing this, Kuraki Ruiko suddenly recalled a scene that had occurred at the hotel not long ago.
In an instant, her already rosy cheeks turned as red as the sunset glow on the horizon.
Seeing 06's exquisite and alluring appearance, Lin Chuan slowly smiled...
After a long while, gently stroking the beauty's cascading black hair, Lin Chuan said softly, "From now on, be with me. He's not right for you."
With her pearly white teeth gently biting her cherry lips, Kuraki Ruiko slowly raised her head after a long while, a pleading look appearing in her eyes: "Can you give me some time? I don't want to hurt him."
"Sure! But you must understand that hesitation will only lead to chaos! Sometimes, the longer you drag it out, the deeper the damage will be."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman couldn't help but lower her head.
Seeing that the other party had taken his words to heart, Lin Chuan didn't press the matter further. He gently patted Qi Mei on the back and said softly, "Alright! Go ahead and get busy!"
Slowly rising from his embrace, Kuraki Ruiko then strode out of the office with her shapely, ivory-carved legs.
Back at my workstation, I was lost in thought.
After a while, Lin Chuan made an excuse that he had other things to take care of, entrusted the company to Kuraki Ruiko, and left the company.
Watching that receding figure, Kuraki Ruiko's expression shifted slightly, but she finally made up her mind.
The other party is right. Hesitation will only lead to more trouble!
Being together was a mistake from the start. Let's end it before it gets too late! It's better for both of them!
She then picked up her phone and slowly walked to the staff break room...
Meanwhile, after leaving the company, Lin Chuan drove towards the Sakurajima residence.
Just moments before, that girlfriend of mine, who I don’t know how many times, sent me a message, the words of which were filled with a desire to meet.
Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't refuse, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
Too many plot points are also not good; there's simply no time to focus on them.
Judging by the time, this school board member hasn't been to the college for two days already.
I'm sure the teachers at the academy miss me very much!
Maki Nishizawa: I miss you, I wish you would never come!
