SABL Chapter 75

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Yunye was quite surprised to hear Shi Yi’s words. After a moment, closed his eyes.

Lu Yunye’s gaze is fierce. No matter how well concealed his eyes are, one can feel the sharp gaze. Shi Yi used to be a little afraid to look at him because of this. However, when his eyes are closed, the long and dense eyelashes like crow feathers hang down, like an exotic prince, mysterious and sexy.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Yi put his hands behind his back, bent slightly, and kissed the side of the sharp cheeks lightly.

His lips are very soft, like marshmallows, with a faint fruity fragrance. Even after being immersed in all kinds of omega pheromones the whole day, Lu Yunye found such a simple kiss arousing.

Shi Yi kissed his left cheek. Unable to hold back, Lu Yunye subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab him, but only heard a chuckle from above his head, and Shi Yi deftly walked around from the right.

A low-quality trick that only high school students would play.

Unable to bear the teasing, the heels of his leather shoes knocked together, and Lu Yunye immediately stood up like a mountain.

Seeing that things were turning in a bad direction, Shi Yi ran back to his work station, and tried to calmly tap on the screen. As a result, the swivel chair under his buttocks was rotated forcefully, making him look up at Lu Yunye.

Grabbing the armrest of the chair to steady himself, he asked nervously, “What do you want?”

“Didn’t Mr. Shi come here to study? Why run away after paying tuition?” Suppressed emotions could be heard simmering just beneath.

Shi Yi swallowed unconsciously, heart beating fast. His thoughts weren’t clear, and his brain didn’t have time to issue more instructions. He simply felt like he had done something embarrassing, and wanted to hide.

Seeing the other party’s uneasy expression, Lu Yunye secretly sighed in his heart. No matter how fierce Shi Yi acts, he resembles a timid rabbit in front of him. If you don’t look for him, he will watch you secretly, yet when you chase him, he runs away.

And only when you really need him, will he come over without barriers, gentle and tolerant.

Every time Lu Yunye saw his apprehensive eyes, he couldn’t bear bullying him further, and could only suppress the dark fire in his stomach. When he finally catches up with him, he must teach this little rabbit a lesson from teasing him.

“Don’t you want to learn? Come here.” Lu Yunye pinched the soft earlobe, then turned and stepped back.

Shi Yi blinked. He didn’t expect Lu Yunye to hold true to his word. He got up and followed to watch Lu Yunye’s operations.

Because there was too much data, Lu Yunye simply wrote a short program to process it. The work of manual checking was shortened, allowing them to progress much faster.

But even so, it was late at night when the two left the company.

Not far away, the sign of Yunye Media flashed in the cool autumn night.

“You… When are you planning to go back?” Shi Yi finally couldn’t help asking.

“What? It’s only been a day and you don’t want to support me anymore?” Lu Yunye chuckled.

Shi Yi didn’t like his nonchalant attitude. He felt completely different from the previous Lu Yunye. “Aren’t you worried about Yunye Media?”

Feiyi finally managed to rid itself of Shi Jinpeng’s control with great difficulty. The company was like a baby he raised.

“It’s useless to worry,” Lu Yunye said. “I stopped worrying the moment I decided to hand over the Lu family. You’re right, I’m not just a top alpha, I’m still Lu Yunye, your husband. I’m very happy to now have the opportunity to enjoy these two other roles.”

Shi Yi pursed his lips. Lu Yunye did look a lot more relaxed than before. As an outsider, he can sit and watch the tigers fight, only to realize how confused and lost he was in the ring before.

“I still have some money. I might open a small company to sell desserts. Does President Shi want to invest?” Lu Yunye’s tone was very relaxed.

Shi Yi was taken aback. He thought Lu Yunye was just joking before, and never expected him to actually act on his plans. “Stop making trouble, a dessert company isn’t that profitable. It’s better to save the money in case of an emergency.”

“Who said it can’t be profitable?” Lu Yunye’s voice was still gentle, but his eyes were imperceptibly sharp. “Not only can it be big, but I can also buy back Lu’s shares.”

“But no one will sell Lu’s shares now.” Shi Yi was baffled.

“There will be a chance soon.” Lu Yunye said.

What’s even more surprising is that it wasn’t empty talk. Lu Yunye suddenly started taking baking lessons. Every day at three o’clock in the afternoon, he took off his suit and left Feiyi, and returned to the downstairs of the company on time at 6:30 p.m., waiting for Shi Yi to get off work.

Having a first hand seat to the story of a tyrant alpha going bankrupt and embarking on the road of transformation, the design department felt as if it had been injected with chicken blood. Their previously idle style changed and the number of submitted designs suddenly increased a lot.

Shi Yi stood upstairs, watching Lu Yunye standing by the pond downstairs, feeding the fish with bread crumbs.

There was an inconsistent feeling between the tall alpha standing in the sunset. Lu Yunye’s body cast a long shadow in the sunset, and below him, koi writhed and jumped.

The setting sun blurred his sharp lines, turning the sharp eyebrows and eyes soft. Many employees heading out looked over, and at some point, a circle of people surrounded to watch Lu Yunye not far away.

Shi Yi went downstairs, putting his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, hesitating on how to remind the other party he was being watched.

In the end, as if Lu Yunye had sensed something, he raised his head and looked at him.

The light and shadow around him changed as he turned.

Shi Yi saw him walk forward holding freshly baked desserts in his hand. Today is cranberry biscuits.

He gradually got used to sitting on the back seat of Lu Yunye’s bicycle, and the small desserts every day. Slowly savoring the biscuits, the fatigue of the whole day also disintegrated, scattered in the cool autumn wind.

At the same time, an internet celebrity dessert shop called “Fleeing Rabbit” quietly became popular.

Like its name, this store does have a physical location; it only accepts online orders.

The price is average, but the quality and taste are very good, and a limited number of orders are accepted each day. The store closes when everything is sold out, making many people complain.

Some people speculated the store was the vest of a big boss, and others called it a marketing gimmick. Regardless, more celebrities began speaking up spontaneously, generating lots of interest from the public.

Most of those celebrities are contracted artists under Yunye Media and their friends.

“Why did you choose such a name?” On Shi Yi’s desk were several new products that were about to be released. Each of which was only the size of a dollar coin, so it wouldn’t make one full after tasting them all.

“Because this is a store for you,” Lu Yunye pulled Shi Yi’s palm, and wrote the word “Yi” on it.[mfn]逸 is the “Yi” from Shi Yi, which includes ‘兔’ for rabbit[/mfn] “A cowardly rabbit, isn’t that describing you?”

He obviously likes him, but has been holding back for so long.

“You are the coward!” Shi Yi withdrew his hand and lowered his face.

“I haven’t finished yet,” Lu Yunye said unhurriedly. “Although the rabbit is naturally timid, one can only discover his rich personality after understanding him.”

“The little rabbit can cook delicious soup, and will come to S City to look for me when I was susceptible. Even though he is terrified to death, he will still cling to the out-of-control alpha, and is also capable of running a large company…”

Shi Yi pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes began to wander unconsciously.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Lu Yunye couldn’t help chuckling. The little rabbit is also very shy.

“Sweet is a very forgiving flavor. It can calm people down and relieve the discomfort caused by other tastes. When one eats desserts, it’s like unlocking a new world.”

Lu Yunye picked up a small piece of red wine velvet cake and put it in his mouth. He obviously didn’t like sweets, but he tasted it seriously: “…Well, it’s also a sexy little rabbit.”

Shi Yi blushed immediately, not understanding why this person could always say embarrassing things so seriously.

The desserts are delicious, but today he has something more important to do.

Next Monday is the bidding meeting for “Beauty”, and they need to go to Yunye Media to submit their proposal by Friday.

Lu Yunye originally planned to accompany him, but Shi Yi refused. Not to mention that Lu Yunye won’t be of much help there, if they bump into Lu Jingyan, a heated confrontation is inevitable.

“Then don’t turn off the phone, so I can hear your voice.” Lu Yunye said. “Go find Lu Yan first.”

Shi Yi nodded and turned on the phone.

Shi Yi wanted to go to Mr. Wang to confirm the details before finalizing the draft, but he was told that Mr. Wang had resigned. It wasn’t until he stepped into the Yunye Media HQ again that he realized the extent to which things had changed.

The security company Lu Yunye used was replaced, the president’s office was moved to the top floor, the even downstairs waiting room was converted into a fast food restaurant – visitors without an appointment could only wait in the corridor.

He called Lu Yan, but it wasn’t connected. His call was automatically transferred to the secretary, and only then did he know that Lu Yan was on a business trip and would not be back until the afternoon.

“Where are the film bidding proposals submitted?” Shi Yi asked.

“Please go directly to the president’s office.”

“President’s office?” Shi Yi frowned. Isn’t the secretary department always responsible for movie projects?

“The secretarial department is currently short of manpower. It needs to be directly submitted to the acting president for approval.” The front desk answered him politely, sounding a little helpless.

After confirming the details, Shi Yi finally decided to go up and take a look. As soon as he turned around, he happened to run into Meng Wen again.

He still remembered that omega, who was once famous for imitating his Luoshen makeup. He didn’t expect Yunye Media to sign him.

“Are you going to the president’s office too?” The two walked into the elevator together. Meng Wen caught a glimpse of the floor number he pressed, and stood there with his arms folded.

Shi Yi was surprised. Meng Wen didn’t wear pheromone isolation stickers again. Agarwood mingled with cinnamon floated in the small space.

Sandalwood.

Lu Jingyan marked him?

Although he knew it was not polite to look, Shi Yi subconsciously looked at his glands, and sure enough, he saw a fresh bite mark, which had already scabbed over, leaving only a thin mark.

Meng Wen didn’t seem to care, and generously showed Shi Yi the back of his neck. “I’m sorry to hear Lu Yunye stepped down. We’ve known each other for a while, so if you want to meet the acting president, I can introduce you.”

After the short exchange, the elevator door opened, and a low growl faintly echoed in the corridor.

“The secretary department can’t operate without Tang Yi? Tell Tang Yi that if she keeps taking sick leave, she won’t have to come again!”

The office door was open, and a young beta could be vaguely seen standing in front of Lu Jingyan’s desk. “I’m sorry President Lu, Secretary Tang has been the one owning the financing work. Because the relevant information has not been handed over, we can’t do anything either.”

Meng Wen glanced at Shi Yi, knocked on the door generously, and walked in gracefully. “What’s making you unhappy, baby?”

“Don’t bother me.” Lu Jingyan looked over, and stopped abruptly when he saw Shi Yi outside the door. He hooked his hand at Meng Wen: “Come here.”

The omega sat obediently on his lap, letting the other party rub his waistline, and his eyes suddenly became more seductive.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Jingyan raised his chin towards Shi Yi.

Shi Yi’s voice was flat: “I’m here to submit the project proposal for “Beauty”.”

During the month he has been the acting president, Lu Jingyan has been overwhelmed by everything.

All capable employees either resigned or took sick leave. Those who were bought by him before demanded to share in the benefits, and even threatened to sell shares. All major projects have been suspended, and even the capital chain revealed problems. He can barely pay attention to anything else.

Lu Yunye has obviously left the company, so why does it affect him? Lu Jingyan gritted his teeth secretly – as long as it’s related to Shi Yi, it must be related to Lu Yunye, and he will definitely not make things easy for him.

Outwardly, Lu Jingyan remained calm and looked over the proposal. “As far as I know, the scale of Feiyi has not reached the threshold for bidding, how did you get in?”

Shi Yi’s expression didn’t change. As long as the other party is not Lu Yunye, no one can interfere with his judgment. “Feiyi has won two international fashion awards this year, and according to the rules of special approval, we can participate.”

Lu Jingyan casually threw the documents on the table. “The special approval rules were drawn up by Wang Zhihua’s team. Now that he has resigned, it stands to reason that they no longer apply.“

Shi Yi clenched his fist secretly. He never thought that Lu Jingyan would use the matter of Mr. Wang’s resignation against him.

“What do you want?”
