When Feng Chengjin returned to see Minister Song, the expressions of the two men behind him were incredibly colorful. Minister Song found it strange but didn’t inquire too much, just smiled and said, "Is President Feng feeling unwell?" As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Nuo and Wang Yikun couldn’t help but laugh. After all, staying in the restroom for such a long time would make anyone suspicious. Feng Chengjin’s face briefly showed awkwardness but quickly reverted to a gentle smile as he said, "I did feel a bit unwell, I’m sorry to have kept Minister Song waiting." "Not at all, considering our relationship," Minister Song replied with hearty laughter. He patted Feng Chengjin on the shoulder and walked with him towards the airport exit. As they walked, Feng Chengjin glanced back and shot an oblique glance at the two men behind him. Qin Nuo and Wang Yikun immediately tensed up and retracted their heads with embarrassment, but once Feng Chengjin turned his head around, the two exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but chuckle again. Stepping on the red carpet, a flight attendant led the way. For original chapters go to novel✶fire.net As they exited the VIP passageway of the airport, they were met by Jonas, the secretary to the German Ministry of Commerce’s minister, along with Ambassador Chen from the Chinese Embassy in Germany and a group of accompanying subordinates, all waiting in the supreme lounge. Jonas enthusiastically greeted them in a Chinese manner while saying in German, "We are so welcome to have you here, my Minister Song." Minister Song chuckled, engaging in a politeness exchange with the help of a translator. He then introduced Feng Chengjin. Upon meeting Feng Chengjin in person, Jonas’s eyes almost sparkled, speaking even more fluently in German, "Mr. Feng’s business empire is already an icon admired by insiders in Germany. Personally, I once attended one of your lectures and was deeply captivated by your charisma." Feng Chengjin smiled and instantly responded in perfect German, "Mr. Jonas, you’re too kind. Germany is a country known for its meticulous and serious work ethic. The etiquette and discipline of Germans serve as a model that even we, and people around the world, should learn from." This elicited subtle astonishment from many of the German staff present, including the translator. Minister Song and Ambassador Chen exchanged a look of satisfaction. Feng Chengjin’s adept greeting in a German style made everyone present look at this man, who enjoys global fame on the Forbes list, with eyes full of admiration. Exiting the airport lounge to the private airport runway exit, uniform black Maybachs awaited outside. Getting into the cars, the group of notable individuals, accompanied by their respective secretaries and bodyguards, was courteously invited into the vehicles, with one person per car, heading to the villa district. In Rong City, at Jinyue Zijing Mansion. Gu Zixuan didn’t wait for a call from Feng Chengjin that evening either. Perhaps upon arrival, after settling down, he was busy and calculated the time back home, finding it too late. Feng Chengjin ultimately refrained from calling to wake Gu Zixuan. So, he only sent a text message. At dawn, at six o’clock, Gu Zixuan was awakened by the enthusiastic Demon, who promptly jumped onto the bed, sniffing with his little nose, barking and snuggling close, licking her face repeatedly. Seeing the content of the text message, the warm line, "Goodnight, my woman." Gu Zixuan’s eyes instantly curved with a smile. So, while Demon was snuggled in her arms, being playful, she hugged Demon and petted his soft fur, saying, "Demon, behave, let’s text Daddy." Demon sat upright like a little knight and barked once, "Woof!" Gu Zixuan thought for a moment and replied: "It should be Good Morning, my Mr. Feng." Pausing, feeling it might not fully express her sentiments. She straightened up, smoothed her hair, and properly held Demon. Hesitating, she raised her phone, adjusted the front camera, and took a selfie with the pink-tongued Demon, sending it to Feng Chengjin. In Germany Munich, Feng Chengjin. Due to the seven-hour time difference with Gu Zixuan, it was exactly 11 PM. The moment he received the text, Feng Chengjin was attending a reception on the first evening, accompanying Minister Song. Holding a champagne glass, Feng Chengjin opened his phone and looked at the photo from the side bathed in perfect sunlight, hugging Demon, her smile irresistibly captivating. He couldn’t help but curl his lips instantly. Beside him was Jonas, the secretary of the German Ministry of Commerce. Jonas, amazed by Feng Chengjin’s ability to speak German and his charismatic skills, sought conversations with him over and over. Therefore, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of the photo now. Jonas couldn’t help but ask Feng Chengjin, who is this? Feng Chengjin smiled and said, "Frau." Jonas excitedly asked in German, "Sie verbunden?" (Are you married?) Feng Chengjin curved his lips, "Schnell." (Soon.) Jonas, exceedingly excited, congratulated him in German: "Beglückwünscht. Sie, diese junge Dame war auch attraktiv." (Congratulations. This young lady is also quite attractive.) Feng Chengjin’s eyes curved with a smile. Behind, Wang Yikun and Qin Nuo, who had come along, did not understand. But, anything that could make their CEO smile like that... The two exchanged a glance, and when they saw the obvious photo of a woman on the screen, they paused and then "pffft," burst into laughter. Then Qin Nuo, who had followed all along, had some idea of what was going on, just covered his eyes, maintaining etiquette while his shoulders shook subtly. As for Wang Yikun, he looked at their CEO, not knowing why they were being praised, especially after Jonas’s exclamation was a bit loud, attracting the attention of several German official professionals, and industry elites. Their CEO, indeed, was grandly indifferent! At this moment, he didn’t mind presenting the photo on his phone to the whole group’s exhibition. Staring skyward in profound silence. Thinking about the incident when the CEO watched a movie that led to an elopement rumor, he profoundly understood the reason for bringing him along to this high-profile event. It’s indeed necessary to bring him; otherwise, with the CEO’s high-profile way, returning home... Faced with the German media first spreading his wedding news, Wang Yikun sincerely did not know how to explain to the wide Chinese media... Oh, he’s about to start work when he leaves... Oh, his jet lag still hasn’t been adjusted, really uncomfortable, yet he has to endure tonight... Oh, their CEO is showcasing again, ah! My eyes! Gu Zixuan was unaware that Feng Chengjin was already flamboyantly exhibiting her photo everywhere. And she had now already become a subject of much discussion among that side’s numerous business people. She only knew she hadn’t received a reply from Feng Chengjin in a short time. Could it be he had fallen asleep? Thinking she hadn’t washed up and casually had taken a photo, wasn’t that quite inappropriate? She felt uneasy, adopting a girlish charm, enlarging and shrinking the photo several times. Finally, seeing still no response from Feng Chengjin. Demon suddenly shivered in her arms, reminding her that Demon was about to pee. She quickly placed him down and rushed to the bathroom. Busy, when she returned, Feng Chengjin had replied. However, looking at the overdue compliment, "How beautiful." She curled her lips into a smile, not feeling too shy about her face anymore. Replied simply with, "I’m off to walk the dog, you should rest." Then she took Demon and Angela out for a walk. Later, she returned to wash up, put on makeup, changed clothes, and drove to work. Upon arriving at the office, it was both a busy and longing day. At lunchtime, not only did she laugh about Feng Chengjin asking Vice President Yun Fan to accompany her for lunch! It was Yun Fan’s first face-to-face meeting with Gu Zixuan. Faced with Gu Zixuan, Yun Fan was struck by her appearance and poise. Her fluent English during their meeting with the project team impressed him, especially her insightful analysis of the U.S. Amazon retail platform and her composed yet assertive guidance to her subordinates. So much that Yun Fan thought that with Gu Zixuan’s level of knowledge, she could start her own company and become a powerful challenger to Feng Yi’s e-commerce business! Startled and amazed, Yun Fan watched her with admiration, while Gu Zixuan continued the meeting with her project team members in the office. "..." was all Gu Zixuan could manage.
