The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 49: Giving You a Chance to Prove Yourself

Lin Ran rushed into the Xiao Group building at the last minute. Everyone was at work at that time, and no one was using the elevator.

She went up to the top floor without any hindrance.

The usually deserted place was now much more crowded, and Lin Ran could faintly hear Ye Chuchu's voice.

Lin Ran took a deep breath, calmed herself down a bit, and then walked over.

"Miss Ye and our CEO Xiao are a match made in heaven. They look so perfect together."

"Yes, yes, only someone like Miss Ye is worthy of our CEO Xiao."

Lin Ran felt nothing as she watched Xiao Jingchen and Ye Chuchu surrounded by a group of people; she simply stood silently to the side and watched.

But in my heart I felt a sense of mockery.

She was clearly Xiao Jingchen's wife, yet Ye Chuchu was the one standing there attracting everyone's attention.

"Sister, why are you standing there? Did you come here to see Brother Xiao?"

Ye Chuchu asked with a look of surprise, but her arms were tightly wrapped around Xiao Jingchen, looking quite proud.

People around her noticed her and suddenly she received a lot of scrutinizing glances.

"Mr. Xiao, is there something you need from me?"

Lin Ran completely ignored the gazes around her and stared straight at the man standing in the middle.

Xiao Jingchen frowned when he noticed her hair was damp with sweat, seemingly somewhat displeased, and waved for everyone around to leave.

The office became much quieter instantly.

"Haven't you always wanted to prove yourself? Go talk to Manager Wang and get the project done."

Manager Wang?

Lin Ran frowned, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

She had heard of this man before; he was said to be a man who wasn't easy to talk to.

"Scared?"

Seeing that Lin Ran did not answer, Xiao Jingchen curled his lips, feeling much better.

If she's willing to beg him, he might give her a chance.

"No, I'll go right now."

Lin Ran didn't look up, so she naturally didn't see the mischievous glint in Xiao Jingchen's eyes.

Hsiao Ching-chen said that he would give her a chance to prove her abilities.

So no matter how difficult it is, she will try her best to do it well.

Lin Ran didn't dare to delay at all. She found the person who had been in charge of the project before, got the information, and after carefully reading it through, went straight to the supervisor's office.

"Hello, is anyone here? I'm sent by General Manager Xiao to discuss a project."

Lin Ran arrived at the office without any problems, but after knocking on the door, she heard no sound, as if no one was in the office.

But she had just asked someone else, and that Manager Wang was in the office right now.

"Manager Wang, I apologize for disturbing you."

Lin Ran gritted her teeth and actually pushed the door open and went inside.

Sure enough, Manager Wang was sitting there, and his face immediately turned cold when he heard someone come in.

"Who are you? Who let you in..."

Halfway through his sentence, Manager Wang suddenly stopped, staring blankly at Lin Ran.

His lingering gaze swept over her from head to toe, especially staring at Lin Ran's straight legs for a long time.

"Ahem, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Come, sit on the sofa and let's talk."

Manager Wang's tone changed from cold to warm, and when he stood up, his big belly bounced a few times, his eyes still lecherously staring at Lin Ran.

"My name is Lin Ran, and I'm here to discuss a project."

Thinking of what Xiao Jingchen had said, Lin Ran could only suppress her disgust and force herself to sit on the sofa.

"Project? No problem, no problem. Xiao Lin, I'm a very easy-going person. As long as you perform well, the project is a small matter."

As he spoke, Manager Wang moved closer to Lin Ran, his greasy gaze fixed on her.

Lin Ran took a deep breath to suppress her discomfort and took out the prepared documents.

"Of course, these are the things I prepared. Manager Wang can take a look first."

Lin Ran handed over the documents, but unexpectedly, Manager Wang grabbed her wrist.

"Xiao Lin, I won't argue with you anymore. As long as you take good care of me, this project will definitely be yours."

Manager Wang's fat face suddenly loomed closer, and with a hint of urgency, he lowered his head to kiss Lin Ran.

"Manager Wang, please don't do this. I'm just here to discuss work."

Lin Ran awkwardly pushed the person away and stood up abruptly to create distance between them.

"Since Manager Wang doesn't want to discuss the project, I'll be leaving now."

Lin Ran felt extremely uncomfortable under that lewd gaze. She even forgot to pick up the documents and turned to leave.

But Manager Wang was faster. His obesity did not hinder his movements. He grabbed Lin Ran's arm and threw her onto the sofa without any pity.

"Alright, stop pretending! I'm only giving you face by liking me!"

"Be a good boy and listen to me, and you'll get your share of the rewards later."

Upon catching a glimpse of Lin Ran's legs, Manager Wang swallowed hard and reached out with his chubby hand to touch them.

"Get out of here!"

Lin Ran felt the tactile sensation on her leg intensify, her eyes bloodshot as she looked around, then picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it over Manager Wang's head.

With a loud thud, Manager Wang let out a scream. The pain in his head forced him to stop what he was doing and he reached up to touch his forehead.

The sticky sensation and the blood on his hands were both irritating to him.

Lin Ran was also terrified. She stared at the red mark on his head for a few seconds before turning and running away.

"You little bitch, you hit me and you dare to run away!"

"You guys, surround her right now! Don't let her get away!"

When Manager Wang saw that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, he became extremely anxious. He didn't care about his own thoughts and hurriedly chased after it, blocking the exit.

Lin Ran was filled with despair. She retreated step by step, but she couldn't stop Manager Wang from getting closer...

The news was quickly relayed to Xiao Jingchen by Zhou Qing.

Ye Chuchu, who was sitting to the side, also heard about this, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

If Lin Ran had a relationship with someone else, Xiao Jingchen would definitely despise her completely.

This fleeting sense of smugness lasted only a few seconds. After hearing Zhou Qing's words, Xiao Jingchen suddenly stood up, left the office, and left behind a cold, distant figure.

Before Ye Chuchu could even speak to stop him, he was already out of sight. She could only grit her teeth and add another mark to Lin Ran's record.

Xiao Jingchen stepped into the elevator, but suddenly paused for a moment.

Is he worried about that woman right now?

Xiao Jingchen frowned, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

No, he wasn't worried about that woman; he just didn't want to be cuckolded, that's all.

Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips expressionlessly, his fierce aura emanating from him without any attempt to conceal it.
