Saving the overbearing CEO

An aura brimming with murderous intent surrounded Qie Ranzhe as he glared at Kai Zheng at the mention of the nickname Ran Ran. Just the mere mention of it made him rage like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Kai Zheng could sense something was wrong but he couldn't fathom what he had done that riled up this man so much. Thinking back he thought maybe it was the way he called him Ran Ran but wasn't it the same way his younger brother called Qie Ranzhe? What was the problem in him borrowing this method of address to coax his way into Flagship's trial?

Qie Ranzhe lowered his eyes and said, "Get out," in a domineering voice that implied something terrible would happen if he didn't comply.

Kai Zheng knew Qie Ranzhe's temper was that of a tyrannical bloodthirsty General so he scurried out of the office. He wasn't giving up though because he intended on getting his younger brother to convince Qie Ranzhe.

He approached the elevator in two strides ignoring Li Menxie who was looking at him with a gossipy air surrounding her. She wanted to ask him what happened in there but Kai Zheng's steps were too fast. Thinking she could take the opportunity to calm her boss down and hopefully score some brownie points, she strutted into the office after knocking twice.

While Li Menxie was trying to get on her boss's good side by making some black coffee, the elevator door dinged and Kai Zheng stepped in only to be met by a young man dressed in a yellow hoodie, black jogger pants and white sneakers. He had zero impression of this man as they had never met before but after this, he was sure never to forget him.

The man might have been dressed in clothes that concealed his figure but he was exuding flamboyance and soft masculinity. That tall, slim figure and soft features caught Kai Zheng's attention. He found himself dumbstruck trying to see the handsome face hidden under the black mask.

The person seemed preoccupied with his cellphone that he didn't notice him at all but the eyes behind the glasses had Kai Zheng having a spring moment in the middle of winter. There was an instant attraction like he wanted to know more about the person but by the time he woke up from his trance the elevator doors had closed.

He tried to press the open door button but the elevator had already started moving. He brushed his hair back in frustration when he realised he couldn't go back up without Qie Ranzhe's permission.

There were only three people authorized to send this elevator up and a limited number of bodyguards that is in the case of an emergency. One was Qie Ranzhe himself, Li Menxie and Qie Ranzhe's mother.

If one wanted to come to this executive floor they would have to ask Li Menxie to come and escort them from the director's floor so how on earth did that person in the elevator just now gain access? Did Qie Ranzhe know this person at a more personal level?

This thought bounced around in Kai Zheng's mind as he got off the special elevator on the director's floor to catch the regular lift to get out of the building. He took out his cellphone and messaged his brother to find out more.

Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi had arrived at Qie Ranzhe's office curious to see what was underneath that shirt. It was for that reason he was embarrassed in front of his mother. He had paid a heavy price for it so he had to see it.

He knocked on the door twice before Li Menxie pushed the door open in annoyance almost hitting his face. She knew it couldn't be Miss Dai which left one other possibility.

This man had grown brazen ever since he came out of the game. Just because he brought their CEO back it didn't mean he could freely walk around this building like he owned the place. Her anger boiled over when Qie Ranzhe granted Wen Qinxi access to this floor that she had to do something and get rid of this pest.

This is why she conveyed her conjecture to Qie Ranzhe's mother about the shares. There was no need to get her hands dirty when Dai Lee could deal with the situation for her. With Zhao Huangzhi out of the picture and Wen Qinxi dealt with she undoubtedly had a chance.

"Mr Qie is in a horrible mood right now and won't be seeing anyone," she said almost closing the door on him.

Ever since he entered Flagship, Wen Qinxi's EQ had improved significantly. From a distance, he could clearly see Li Menxie's intentions but he wasn't a miserly roach that anyone could trample at will. He snorted coldly and said, "He would definitely want to see me."

As soon as his words fell, Qie Ranzhe's head raised with his heartbeat accelerated. If it were up to him he would have had Wen Qinxi move directly into his office but he knew he would get rejected. He planned on making up an imaginary meeting so Wen Qinxi would come up or he could go to him but it turns out the rabbit wandered into his den of its own volition.

"Why the hell are you standing there? Come here, I want to show you something," he said in a calm voice but he was in no way calm.

Wen Qinxi gestured 'told you so' with his dashing face before walking past Li Menxie. He had issues with this woman but didn't care to deal with her because people like her will soon fall from grace by themselves.

He walked in but just as he was about to sit on the couch nearby, Qie Ranzhe beckoned him over which Wen Qinxi complied. He strode over to his desk but Qie Ranzhe wasn't satisfied. He beckoned him over again indicating that he should sit on his lap making Wen Qinxi blush in embarrassment.

Wen Qinxi wasn't the only one flushed. Li Menxie was flushed with anger and resentment as she averted her gaze. Wen Qinxi had worked in this company for almost three years but never had the CEO even mentioned his name but because of that stupid game, this irrelevant nerd had taken the most coveted seat on the throne.

Qie Ranzhe pulled Wen Qinxi's wrist making him sit on his lap facing each other. This position was explicit no matter how one looked at it making Wen Qinxi blush profusely. Qie Ranzhe placed his hand on the side of Wen Qinxi's neck revealing the hickey underneath the hoodie.

His other hand slid down to the man's ass as he leaned down to kiss him but Wen Qinxi flinched a little making Qie Ranzhe worried. He thought Wen Qinxi was in pain from the hickey last night so he drew back to ask what was wrong.
