Lin Xingwan suddenly leaned closer to Zhou Jinbai, speaking in a whisper, "I think the new CEO of Dongfang Corporation might have issues with his sexual orientation. He's obese, and his face can't be seen, a middle-aged greasy man."
This time, let alone gripping the steering wheel, Zhou Jinbai slammed on the brakes, staring at the woman beside him in disbelief, "Issues with sexual orientation? Obese? Middle-aged greasy man?"
He was so shocked he almost bit off his tongue.
Was he that terrible?
He felt an urge to curse.
Lin Xingwan mistook Zhou Jinbai's glare for shock and began to analyze logically, "I've attended many company handover ceremonies. Around a new manager, there's always a bunch of young and beautiful secretaries. But look at the new CEO of Dongfang Corporation, he's always surrounded by men. This clearly indicates a problem! With his status and position, what kind of woman can't he have? Therefore, he's not interested in women and likes men!"
"What if he's a loyal and upright good man?"
What the heck? No women means a problem with sexual orientation? Zhou Jinbai was defeated by this woman's thought process.
"Also, I work in new media. I know how powerful photo editing technology is now. The CEO only shows his back; it's definitely because his face can't be salvaged even with high-tech."
Lin Xingwan's words made Zhou Jinbai's temples throb.
This was merely a method to hide himself!
"Furthermore, to become the CEO of Dongfang Corporation, he must be mature and steady, with extensive social experience and life wisdom. Otherwise, how could he break through the competition and become a formidable figure at the top of the pyramid? I think his age is fake; his real age should be over forty. The powers that be in corporations usually have beer bellies and are balding."
Zhou Jinbai completely gave up on the idea of explaining to Lin Xingwan that the photo wasn't edited and he was twenty-eight.
So, being too excellent was also a sin.
However, he had plenty of time and opportunities to prove to this woman his sexual orientation issues, and... his robust physique.
When Lin Xingwan and Zhou Jinbai arrived at the entrance of Dingfeng Entertainment Company, they were astonished by the glass door covered in dust and cobwebs.
Lin Xingwan couldn't accept such a drastic change.
In her memory, Dingfeng Entertainment's glass doors were spotless, and the company was bustling with people.
But now, the door wasn't even locked, and the reception desk was covered in a layer of dust.
Due to long-term neglect, the 'Dingfeng Entertainment' logo at the entrance was rusty and cracked. The faucet had no water, and even the electricity was out.
This was no longer a company; it was a dump that even a homeless person wouldn't want to live in.
Lin Xingwan rubbed her temples, her voice filled with melancholy and confusion, "Everything today has exceeded my imagination. Dingfeng Entertainment is a mere name, deserted."
Her initial enthusiasm was shattered.
Zhou Jinbai surveyed the surroundings and asked, "What are your plans next? Do you want to hire people to clean this place up?"
"What else?"
"Just cleaning won't solve the problem. Dingfeng Entertainment's most glorious period was five to ten years ago. It was built over twenty years ago. Both the renovation and facilities can't meet the needs of a current entertainment company. Instead of spending time on these trivial matters, it's better to find another location for the company's new base."
Seeing Lin Xingwan's silence, Zhou Jinbai walked to her side and patted her shoulder, "A thousand sails pass by the shipwreck; ten thousand trees spring up before the sickly ones. My dear, everything depends on human effort. Your husband will always support you! This current predicament might be the next opportunity."
This address of 'my dear' wasn't overly flowery, but Lin Xingwan heard the support and companionship in it.
She looked at the man before her, finding his unwavering confidence in her success inexplicable.
Why did this man believe in her so much?
Yet, Lin Xingwan found herself drawn to it. She had walked this dark path for too long, and suddenly, Zhou Jinbai appeared to accompany her. Even if their gamble failed in the end, she felt it was worth it.
"Zhou Jinbai, do you know you're very good at seducing people?" Lin Xingwan's clear eyes shone with unconcealable brilliance, like a dazzling galaxy, blooming with stars and moon.
"I haven't seduced anyone else, but I want to seduce my wife for a lifetime." A low chuckle filled the air, and his Adam's apple, bobbing up and down, seemed particularly sexy and alluring.
Lin Xingwan had never seen a man be so handsome.
Her body even reacted before her brain could process it. She tiptoed and kissed his Adam's apple, even playfully biting it with her teeth.
The man's delighted laughter abruptly stopped.
At this moment, all expression froze on his overly handsome and cold face.
Zhou Jinbai lowered his head, looking at the woman within arm's reach.
This woman was deliberately igniting a flame, dangerously probing the edge.
His eyes deepened, and he lowered his head to kiss her rosy lips, but Lin Xingwan turned her face away.
However, her eyes, even the corners of them, sparkled with joy.
Zhou Jinbai moved closer, but Lin Xingwan leaned back slightly.
He greedily pressed his nose against Lin Xingwan's face and then gently tickled her earlobe.
"Mmm... itchy..." Lin Xingwan dodged again.
The next second, the man's well-defined hand gripped Lin Xingwan's neck, the force gentle yet firm, directly and accurately covering it.
The pressure on her neck prevented Lin Xingwan from retreating.
She tilted her head back, enduring the man's increasingly domineering kiss.
Zhou Jinbai's other hand, however, was gently placed on the back of Lin Xingwan's head, preventing her head from hitting the wall behind her.
Lin Xingwan's body tensed, looking at this man who exuded an aura of abstinence yet was utterly unrestrained. He was too aggressive.
But he was also wise and intelligent. Rudeness and gentleness coexisted in him; he could kiss her while gripping her neck with one hand, and use the other to protect her head.
She had never felt such a willing immersion in desire with Gu Shaoting, but upon seeing Zhou Jinbai, she wanted physical contact, and... much more.
Lin Xingwan closed her eyes, surrendering herself entirely to the deep kiss of the man's control.
The hand that had been restraining Lin Xingwan's neck slowly loosened, caressing the woman's slender waist, and then, slipping under her hem, exploring further.
