Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 676: Chapter 679: Flowers Blooming

In Yandu, at the Yulei Entertainment branch office, Deputy Director Zhuang Feng rushed into the recording studio after receiving a report from his assistant. Inside the studio, several music producers and Hui Lin's manager, Tangni, were present.

Seeing Hui Lin singing in the recording booth, Zhuang Feng anxiously asked, "Mr. Tangni, why is Miss Lin Hui still here singing? According to the schedule, she should be at the concert venue rehearsing with the dance team! Why was the rehearsal suddenly canceled?!"

Tangni shrugged and said, "Deputy Director Zhuang, all of this is at Mr. Yang's request. Miss Lin Hui needs to assist him with something, so she is preparing."

"Mr. Yang?!" Zhuang Feng was taken aback. "Do you mean Director Yang? How can personal matters be mixed with business? This is counterproductive!"

Tangni replied seriously, "I'm sorry, Deputy Director Zhuang. For us, Miss Lin Hui's future and work are certainly important, but our primary service target is Mr. Yang. As long as it's Mr. Yang's orders, we will unconditionally fulfill them. We don't have the courage to refuse Mr. Yang's requests." Zhuang Feng was stunned. He felt his worldview had been overturned. Although he knew Yang Chen's background was quite terrifying, seeing these international master-level figures working like servants for him made him sigh in awe.

No courage? Would he kill them if they didn't meet a requirement? Zhuang Feng didn't know, but subconsciously, Tangni and the others did indeed think so.

In Zhonghai, in the city center.

As the leading entity of a multinational fashion enterprise, the eastern side of the Yulei International Building had a vast open space, which was particularly prominent in this expensive city center.

Surrounded by busy traffic, the center was a spacious garden square, where a magnificent artificial fountain flowed year-round. Whether it was early morning or late afternoon, many citizens exercised, strolled, or rested here.

Around three in the afternoon, a construction team suddenly arrived at the edge of the square with various transport vehicles. To the confusion of passing vehicles and office workers, this construction team began setting up frameworks and structures in the square with the materials they brought.

This sudden move naturally attracted a lot of attention. After all, Yulei International was the most iconic enterprise in Zhonghai, and building "illegal structures" at their doorstep was hard for many Yulei International employees to accept.

When the Yulei International security team went to question the construction workers, their initially stern demeanor softened, causing even more surprise among onlookers.

In the president's office, Lin Ruoxi had regained her composure from earlier awkwardness. With many tasks at hand, she focused on reviewing some documents.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Ruoxi responded, and Wu Yue, in her uniform, entered with a strange expression.

"What's the matter?" Lin Ruoxi asked calmly.

Wu Yue, still struggling to accept Lin Ruoxi and Yang Chen's marriage, stared blankly for a moment before softly saying, "President Lin, there is a construction team working outside our company's square."

"What?!" Lin Ruoxi doubted her ears and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. From the highest point, she saw a group of people working busily below, not knowing what they were building.

Lin Ruoxi turned back with a sullen face and asked, "Where's the security team?! Do I pay them to slack off?!"

Wu Yue looked troubled and said, "The security team has already been there, but they don't dare to interfere."

"Why?" Lin Ruoxi frowned. "Is it an event by the Ting family?"

"No, it's not from the Ting family," Wu Yue said with difficulty. "They said it was instructed by Director Yang."

Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened. After a long pause, she rubbed her forehead and, facing Wu Yue, spoke unnaturally, mumbling through gritted teeth, "What is he thinking?"

"President Lin, now everyone in the company knows that Director Yang is your husband. Naturally, the security team wouldn't dare to stop him," Wu Yue whispered.

Lin Ruoxi felt a headache upon hearing this.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi deep in thought, Wu Yue couldn't help but feel aggrieved. "President Lin, why have you been hiding your marriage to Director Yang from everyone? Even if you didn't tell everyone, you could have told me. I always thought he was a bad guy, but I was the one making a fool of myself."

"He is indeed not a good person," Lin Ruoxi huffed angrily. "I know what's going on. I'll contact him. You go back and tell everyone to do their jobs and not to spread any rumors. Anyone who delays work because of this nonsense will be fired directly!"

Wu Yue sighed, nodded, and left.

As soon as Wu Yue left, Lin Ruoxi immediately picked up the phone and dialed Yang Chen's number. However, the response was that the phone was turned off!

It was clear that Yang Chen had anticipated Lin Ruoxi's questioning and turned off his phone in advance.

Lin Ruoxi nearly smashed the phone on the ground, stomping angrily on the carpet and muttering, "Damn Yang Chen, stupid Yang Chen, doing everything so recklessly. He's driving me crazy!"

But thinking about Yang Chen's promise of a special wedding anniversary gift, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

What exactly is that guy planning? In a mix of expectation and frustration, Lin Ruoxi slumped back into her chair.

Time ticked by, and as the square was already a busy area, more and more people noticed the strange scene, and the buzz grew.

By evening, with the sky overcast and the light dimming, the construction in the square was finally complete—a stage of about a hundred square meters!

That day was full of surprises for the employees of Yulei International. First, they suddenly learned that President Lin Ruoxi was secretly married to Director Yang Chen. Then, this husband of the president inexplicably set up a stage in the square below the building!

Inside Yulei International Building, the employees were getting ready to leave work, with many curious about the purpose of the stage.

Just then, exclamations were heard on every floor.

Employees in the building asked around and found out that many of them had received an email from Yang Chen just before the end of the workday!

The email content clearly invited all Yulei employees to enjoy a special gift from Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi to celebrate their wedding anniversary after work.

A wedding anniversary gift?!

All the employees were buzzing with excitement. This was yet another thrilling piece of news. After all, Lin Ruoxi, the CEO, was usually so high up and mysterious that any news about her would spark curiosity.

Not only did they learn today that she was married, but it was also her wedding anniversary! None of the employees intended to go home after work. Some even called their friends and family to come to the plaza to witness this "wedding anniversary gift"!

In the CEO's office, Lin Ruoxi was on the verge of a breakdown. Looking at the email she had received, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she felt utterly helpless.

"What is this scoundrel trying to do?" Lin Ruoxi murmured to herself as she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly at the stage set up in the plaza below.

As more employees found out about it, a large number of Yulei employees ran out to the plaza, gathering around the stage and waiting for the "gift" to appear.

As they got closer to the stage, the employees noticed that it was equipped with lights, a sound system, and a large screen, like they were about to show a movie.

With more onlookers gathering, many passersby and drivers stopped their vehicles and joined the crowd out of curiosity. Even the white-collar workers in the nearby office buildings were curious about what Yulei International employees were watching.

As a result, the not-so-large Yulei Plaza became densely packed with people!

When the Yulei employees told the onlookers that this was a special event for their CEO Lin Ruoxi and her husband's wedding anniversary, the crowd's gossiping fervor ignited! fгeewebnovёl.com

Many people were shouting for the performance to start quickly, and some even called for Lin Ruoxi to come down.

In Lin Ruoxi's office, not only was Wu Yue present, but Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu had also come in. The four women stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, silently watching the excited crowd below.

Finally, half an hour past the end of the workday, a figure managed to squeeze through the crowd and climb onto the stage. This person was, of course, Yang Chen, who had been preparing all afternoon!

Yang Chen seemed oblivious to the noisy crowd around him. After fiddling with various equipment on stage, he turned on the sound system, grabbed a microphone, and adjusted the volume so that it could be heard throughout the plaza. Then, he cleared his throat and smugly said, "I think many people have already explained what's happening here. Actually, I'm quite shy, but since it's our wedding anniversary and I don't want my wife to say I'm not sincere or romantic, I had no choice but to reluctantly stand on this stage. However, if anyone plans to leave a ticket fee after watching, I wouldn't blame them either."

The crowd erupted in laughter, with Yulei employees screaming the loudest. Even the women from Yulei's public relations department and Yang Chen's subordinates like Zhao Teng and Wang Jie couldn't stop laughing.

Yang Chen looked up at the top of the Yulei building and said, "It seems my wife is even shyer than I am and doesn't dare to come down to see this gift up close."

Hearing this, the crowd immediately began chanting, "Come down! Come down! Come down!"

Although it was difficult to hear clearly from dozens of floors up, Lin Ruoxi could still make out what was happening below through the open window.

Her face turned as red as a ruby, her heart pounding uncontrollably. She was too nervous to even think about scolding Yang Chen for causing trouble. She felt weak all over and found it hard to breathe.

Mo Qianni, standing beside her, sourly pulled Lin Ruoxi's hand and said, "Go down. If you don't go down after all this, it will really break his heart. Of course, if you want to give Mingyu and me a chance, we wouldn't mind."

Liu Mingyu rolled her eyes at Mo Qianni, "Why drag me into this? I never thought about it that way."

Lin Ruoxi glanced at them, pursed her lips, and said, "I don't have as many thoughts as you do. I just don't want to embarrass him too much."

With that, Lin Ruoxi, as if mustering up all her courage, lowered her head and walked out.

Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu exchanged a look, shaking their heads with a bitter smile. It would be a lie to say they weren't jealous, but they also knew that all this was done for Lin Ruoxi.

A few minutes later, Lin Ruoxi appeared at the entrance of the building.

Yulei's employees spontaneously made way for her, clapping loudly, especially when they saw her blushing face. Many people whistled.

From this distance, although not very close, she could see Yang Chen on the stage and hear the sound from the speakers clearly.

Lin Ruoxi tried hard not to pay attention to the surrounding crowd, looking at Yang Chen from a distance. She silently cursed him for his audacity, wondering how to deal with him when they got home, but couldn't hide her inner anticipation.

Yang Chen glanced around the stage and, seeing that Lin Ruoxi had no intention of coming closer, didn't push her. He ran to the side and turned on the video equipment on stage.

To everyone's surprise, a clear video image appeared on the screen. It was a live video feed, and the person on the screen was none other than Lin Hui, a new super singing star who had recently skyrocketed to fame across the country, especially in the past two days!

In the video, Lin Hui looked quite nervous, being in Yanjing and meeting everyone through a video link. The girl was rather apprehensive.

Many of the onlookers were Lin Hui's fans, and as soon as she appeared, the cheering was deafening!

Yang Chen then addressed the crowd loudly, "Next, I will be singing a duet with the well-known Miss Lin Hui. Although this song is not my original, I feel it perfectly reflects the time we've spent together over the past year. Please, everyone, be quiet."

The audience complied, after all, it was their CEO's wedding anniversary, and they had to give face, so they quieted down quickly.

Lin Ruoxi was already pleasantly surprised to see Lin Hui. Knowing that she was going to sing a duet with Yang Chen for her was especially touching. She understood that Lin Hui must have taken time out of her busy schedule for this.

As for Yang Chen choosing to sing, Lin Ruoxi wasn't too surprised. She had witnessed Yang Chen's excellent singing skills when they went to KTV with Yuan Ye and Tangtang, which was when she revealed her own "tone-deaf" nature.

Liu Mingyu, standing behind Lin Ruoxi, asked Mo Qianni in confusion, "Qianni, why isn't Lin President singing a duet with him? Wouldn't that be more fitting?"

Mo Qianni smiled wryly and whispered to Liu Mingyu, "Ruoxi has been tone-deaf since her school days."

Luckily, Lin Ruoxi's attention was entirely on the stage, or she would have run away if she heard their conversation.

At this point, Yang Chen on the stage and Lin Hui on the screen began singing as the music started playing.

The road we've walked, a magic trick that turns all the good and bad into my heart's suffering, even if I can't remember, turns into this gaze, singing into a song.

And you, like the murmuring water in the poem, knocking on my heart's door, embracing all the hatred, nourishing the dryness, believing I can be yours.

It feels like I still see the sad face of yesterday, happiness sometimes burns like a slap, you remind me not to fear dreams, the longing hidden in my heart.

It feels like I see the corridor of footprints of tomorrow, sadness sometimes sweetened like candy by you, you hold me tight, looking forward, the flowers blooming along the banks in my heart.

The cheerful and melodious tune hovered over the plaza.

As Yang Chen's bright voice combined with Lin Hui's ethereal tone, everyone was immersed in memories of the bittersweet aspects of their relationships.

No one shouted or laughed loudly anymore. No one saw this as a comedy.

Men and women present seemed to see a young couple going through ups and downs together, experiencing joy and sorrow, happiness and pain, but supporting and encouraging each other all the way.

Standing there, Lin Ruoxi unconsciously covered half of her face with one hand, tears streaming down her cheeks, making it hard for her to stop crying.

Perhaps, after tonight, they might still have cold wars, quarrels, and countless problems.

But, as the song said, no matter what, love would write each other into the lyrics of their hearts.
