Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 104 Taking a Taxi...?

Yu Lei's brows furrowed with confusion as they stood on the bustling street, preparing to board a taxi that would transport them to the prestigious W-Hotel. "Why are we taking a taxi?" she inquired, her tone laced with curiosity.

Meanwhile, Feng Xinyue, the young girl with extraordinary powers, was entrusted to the care of Rose.

Although Feng Xinyue had never caused any trouble, the system insisted that it was best for someone to accompany her.

The potential risks of her power accidentally causing harm or erasing cities were too great to ignore.

Zhang Wei, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, turned to Yu Lei and offered an explanation. "We're taking a taxi to promote the use of public transport," he replied, his voice light and playful.

Yu Lei raised an eyebrow, her skepticism evident.

"Lier," she hummed skeptically, but nonetheless stepped into the taxi, unable to resist the intrigue of Zhang Wei's plans for the day.

As the taxi pulled away from the curb, Yu Lei couldn't help but wonder what surprises lay ahead.

As the private room filled with an air of anticipation, Ye Feng's eyes widened with excitement at the sight of Yu Lei entering the room.

Her flowing blue gown accentuated her graceful figure, while her black hair cascaded behind her, framing her radiant blue eyes.

She appeared like a fairy descended upon the earth, captivating the attention of everyone in the room, including Lin Ruoxi herself.

There was an undeniable aura about Yu Lei that set her apart from their usual encounters.

Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but wonder if they had once been on equal footing, but now Yu Lei exuded a level of confidence that surpassed her own.

It was as if she had stepped into a realm of self-assurance that Lin Ruoxi had yet to reach.

Lin Ruoxi's attention then shifted to the man standing beside Yu Lei.

He was impeccably dressed in a sleek business suit, his long hair neatly tied in a bun.

His overall appearance exuded the air of a wealthy young master, yet his commanding presence seemed to transcend even that. His eyes sparkled like sapphire jewels, captivating and powerful.

In that moment, his gaze seemed to lock onto Lin Ruoxi, causing a shiver to run down her spine. It felt as if she was being targeted by an ancient deity, his gaze piercing through her defenses.

"I must be dreaming," Lin Ruoxi whispered to herself, trying to make sense of how he could have noticed them from such a distance.

The weight of the recent Wang Haoran incident lingered in her mind, making her question her own perception.

The table in the room was arranged with meticulous care, showcasing the attention to detail. Ye Feng and Wu Xue stood behind Lin Ruoxi, their presence supportive and unwavering.

On the other side, Zhang Wei and Yu Lei took their seats at the front, their faces poised with anticipation for the upcoming discussion.

The stage was set for a crucial discussion, and all eyes were focused on the impending conversation.

As the room fell into a momentary silence, Lin Ruoxi composed herself and extended a polite greeting. "Vice President Lei, it's a pleasure to have you here. And this must be your husband. Welcome."

Yu Lei smiled warmly in response. "Thank you, President Lin. It's an honor to be invited. Allow me to introduce my husband, Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei, this is President Lin Ruoxi, the president of the Lin Group and CEO of our company."

Zhang Wei nodded politely. "Nice to meet you, President Lin. I've heard a lot about your accomplishments."

Lin Ruoxi returned the gesture with a gracious smile. "Likewise, Mr. Zhang. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Please have a seat."

Unbeknownst to Lin Ruoxi, both Ye Feng and Zhang Wei noticed Yu Lei winking sneakily at Zhang Wei as she introduced Lin Ruoxi to him. Their subtle exchange did not escape their attention.

Ye Feng's mind was in a haze, and he stared at the familiar figure in shock. "H-How can this be?" he thought, his thoughts racing as he tried to comprehend the situation.

As they settled into their chairs, Lin Ruoxi shifted the focus of the conversation. "Vice President Lei, I must say, you look stunning today. That blue dress suits you perfectly."

Yu Lei blushed slightly, appreciating the compliment. "Thank you, President Lin. It's a special occasion, and I wanted to make a good impression," she replied, glancing at Zhang Wei.

She couldn't help but feel that it had been quite some time since they had the opportunity to go on an outing like this together.

Lin Ruoxi nodded, understanding the significance of the meeting. "I appreciate your effort. We have important matters to discuss today, particularly regarding your decision to leave the company. I value your contributions greatly, and I hope we can find a mutually beneficial resolution."

Yu Lei's expression turned serious as she replied, "President Lin, I appreciate your understanding. It's not an easy decision for me. The main reason behind my departure was the desire to spend more time with my husband and focus on our personal life. However, I'm open to discussing alternative arrangements that could allow me to balance both."

Lin Ruoxi's tone softened as she listened attentively. "I understand the importance of maintaining a work-life balance. We can explore options such as flexible working hours or remote work. I believe your skills and expertise are invaluable to our company, and I don't want to lose such a valuable asset."

Zhang Wei interjected, expressing his support. "President Lin, I appreciate your willingness to accommodate our situation. We understand the demands of the business world, but family is equally important. However, I would like to talk to my wife once again and try to convince her regarding this."

Yu Lei stared back at Zhang Wei in shock, her eyes blinking rapidly.

They had never discussed this possibility before.

Zhang Wei's faint smile seemed to reassure her, instantly silencing any protests she had in mind.

If he wanted her to continue working, she would do so.

Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but feel surprised by Zhang Wei's response.

From her previous perception, she had expected him to make things difficult for her.

However, it appeared that her worries were unfounded.

As Lin Ruoxi observed Zhang Wei's transformed temperament, a slight sigh escaped her lips.
