"Yes, CEO Zhen, Young Master is in your office right now." Fang Xuan replied gingerly.
"Meeting is over!"
Zhen Li issued instructions to everyone, her previous anger immediately dissipated without a trace, and her face lit up with joy.
This sudden change in her countenance left everyone stupefied.
Didn't she just say she didn't want to meet with anyone? When she came to know that it was her son who had come looking for her, she had even decided to conclude such an important meeting?
Though they were stupefied, they were also thankful when they heard Zhen Li's words and immediately dispersed, and hurried back to think about the proposal.
"CEO Zhen, the proposal hasn't been finalized. Wouldn't ending the meeting after discussing for so long be a waste of time..." Fang Xuan said as she couldn't make sense of what was happening.
"Come with me back to the office." Zhen Li said immediately.
Fang Xuan upon hearing this, did not continue.
She could understand that the company's business matters were far less concerning to CEO Zhen than her son.

"Baby boy, mommy missed you so much!"
The way Zhen Li reacted when she saw Wang Haoran was more or less similar to that of Wang Rang. However, rather than embracing him like Wang Rang, she grabbed his head and gave him a few pecks.
Wang Haoran's forehead was immediately filled with a couple of lipstick marks, and he felt a little complex.
He didn't call her mom'.
It would take time for Wang Haoran to adapt as it had been only less than 10 days since he had transmigrated after all.
At this moment, Wang Haoran took a closer look at his mother, and began to size her up.
As Zhen Li had given birth too early, though he, Wang Haoran, her son, was an 18-year-old, she was just 36.
On top of that, as she had taken good care of herself, her looks weren't that bad. She seemed like 30-year-old urban beauty.
Wang Haoran must have inherited his handsome looks from Zhen Li, his mother.
In the original plot, after the Wang family business was crushed by the Protagonist, the enemies and competitors of the Wang family began to oppress them.
When the Protagonist retaliated, as Wang Haoran's mother, Zhen Li's ending could be said to be truly miserable.
After suffering all kinds of inhumane insults, she committed suicide in disgrace.
"I'm a grown-up now, don't treat me like a little child, okay?" Wang Haoran wiped the red marks on his forehead with his hand.
"You're still my son." Zhen Li chuckled and helped Wang Haoran in wiping the red marks.
But how could they be wiped so easily?
Without Zhen Li asking for help, Secretary Fang Xuan brought over a wet napkin and helped Wang Haoran wipe off the red marks on his forehead.
"Son, your dad told me you already found yourself a girlfriend and even went to a hotel together. It must have felt great, right?" Zhen Li asked in a teasing tone with her eyebrows raised.
Wang Haoran was somewhat dumbfounded. His mom and dad were both weirdos.
How could there be a mother that would ask her son such a question?
Even if there was one, how could he answer her?
"Shouldn't you be more interested to know about my studies?"
"Yes, yes, how are your studies going? How many points did you score in your recent exam?" Zhen Li asked thoughtlessly.
"682 points."
"Wow, that many? You deserve to be my child. You're simply a genius!" Zhen Li had surprise spread across her face. She was so excited that she nearly bounced wanting to give him a few more peck on her son's forehead.
Fang Xuan, who stood on the side, also seemed to be taken aback
According to the extent that CEO Zhen spoiled her son, she thought that Wang Haoran would be a good-for-nothing rich kid who would abandon himself to a life of pleasure or something.
She didn't expect him to be a topper.
"Don't brag, I didn't come looking for you here wanting you to brag about my score."
"Understood!" Zhen Li nodded and instructed Fang Xuan, "I'll give you my son's account number. Take my card and go to the bank and transfer 5 million yuan, no, transfer 10 million yuan to his account."
Fang Xuan was so startled that her eyes almost popped out of her eye sockets.
This was the world of the rich. Their allowance itself was in tens of million yuan.
Giving a pat to the back of Wang Haoran's shoulder, Zhen Li said earnestly:
"Don't be stingy. Spend this money however you want. Go find yourself a few girlfriends. Don't worry about money. Aren't we, your parents, earning money just for you to spend?"
When Wang Haoran heard her say it, he felt slightly touched'. His mother does care for him!
"Let's not talk about this, I came here looking for you to ask you something important." Wang Haoran said.
Fang Xuan reading the atmosphere, excused herself as soon as she heard this.
As there were no outsiders in the room, Wang Haoran did not feel like beating around the bush, and straightforwardly said:
"Does our family have any strong relations that are far more influential than the Principal of Shuize Middle School?" (TL Note: Mizusawa -> Shuize)
"Did the Principal of Shuize Middle School by any means provoke you? How dare he? I'll find someone and put him to death!" Zhen Li immediately replied.
Wang Haoran was dumbstruck hearing to what his mother said.
As expected from the kin of a villain. Her words were way too merciless.
However, this matter wasn't that bad after all.
"I'll handle this by myself. Would you mind answering my question first?" Wang Haoran asked.
"I know one of the school's directors. The relationship between us isn't that good, but it isn't bad either."
"You know one of my School Directors? That's fine." Wang Haoran became elated.
Shuize Middle School was a private school. So, there were several School Directors who were ranked above the Principal.
In other words, the one acting as a principal was no different from a part-time worker.
"Can you arrange a meeting with the School Director this afternoon?"
"I'll try." Zhen Li had the contact details of the School Director.
It took a while for the call to connect.
After Zhen Li chatted for a few minutes, she hung up and said to Wang Haoran:
"Son, no problem, it's done. I'll go arrange some company affairs for my secretary, and then accompany you."
"Forget it, you're already too busy. Send me the address, I'll just go by myself."
"In case you fail to negotiate with the School Director, then make sure to notify me, I'll immediately come there."
After Zhen Li spoke, she sent Wang Haoran the address.
"A Jade factory?" Wang Haoran was a little surprised after he took a look at the address.
He thought the meeting place would be a coffee shop or something.
Zhen Li said with a nod of her head:
"You see, she is also a busy person, and had something important to do. So, it's the only way."
"Let me brief you about her; her surname is Tang, and her name is Tang Bingyun. She's a woman in her twenties."
"The Tang family is mainly into the Jade Jewelry business. They had even set foot into the education industry in recent years. Within a short span of few years, Tang Bingyun managed to become one of the directors of the Shuize Middle School. This shows how capable she is. "
Hearing this, Wang Haoran fell into contemplation. He then could not help but ask:
"Tang Bingyun you spoke of must be a beauty, right?"
"Huh, son, how do you know that? Yes, she's a beauty but she's a bit cold too..."
Zhen Li continued.
However, Wang Haoran no longer paid attention to her.
At this moment, Wang Haoran was almost certain that Tang Bingyun was one of the heroines.
It was because Tang Bingyun perfectly fit the role of an Ice-cold Lady CEO.
It would be strange if she wasn't one of the heroines.
Tsundere Campus Belle, Beautiful Teacher, Ice-cold Lady CEO...
He didn't know what genre of heroine would show up next.
Wang Haoran wanted to scorn the stone-hearted author badly. To give importance to Chu Bai, the Protagonist, he provided him with so many heroines.
After Wang Haoran spoke with his mother for a while, he took his leave.
(Jade factory In the city outskirts)
Cullinan drove on the sparsely populated road with vehicles on either side.
Wang Haoran took a look at the scenery outside the window.
A vintage car not far ahead attracted his attention.
