Chapter 50: Public Marriage Proposal
Big bro, you're awesome! (cold sweat)....
Behind Xu Peng's message was a string of wiping sweat emojis.
Uh.... I know, I'm a toad lusting after swans, wishful thinking. But I don't have many friends in East Sea, so I can only talk to you about this.
Qin Yu replied with a wry smile.
Hey, boss, actually, it's not completely impossible.
Even though your boss is a high-class beauty, at the end of the day, she's still a woman. As long as she's a woman, there's a chance to charm her. The key is, you have to find the right approach, often do things that touch her heart.
Who knows, maybe one day you'll manage to woo your beautiful boss. Don't forget me when you're rolling in luxury, just set me up with a job as the head of security....
Far from dampening his spirits, Xu Peng encouraged Qin Yu to boldly pursue his love interest.
Haha.... That's a given. I can't chat anymore, if the boss doesn't see me, I'm going to get scolded.
Alright, boss, I'll be waiting for your victory news!
Qin Yu switched his personal number to "silent mode" before exiting the restroom.
Noon.
Qin Yu was having lunch in the staff cafeteria when an old acquaintance from the security department came over and asked in a secretive tone, "Have you heard about Director Yan's matchmaking? Do you have any insider info?"
"What? Matchmaking?"
Qin Yu was completely baffled.
"It's all over the news, ah. Four Seas Corporation's beautiful CEO seeking marriage!"
The person said, and after a few taps on his phone, a screenshot of a newspaper article appeared.
An entire page was dedicated to publishing Yan Mingyu's matrimonial advertisement.
Oh my!
Qin Yu blinked. What exactly had happened to his beautiful boss for her to resort to public matchmaking?
How desperate was she to get married?
"Hey hey, you're with Director Yan every day, give us a hint. What kind of man does Director Yan like?"
The person asked with a tinge of anticipation.
"Definitely not your type!"
Qin Yu knew exactly what was on the man's mind. If Yan Mingyu had gone public with matchmaking, it meant everyone had a chance.
"I'm full already!"
The sudden news had completely disrupted Qin Yu's tempo.
He had been planning to follow Xu Peng's advice, to do one thing each day that would move his beautiful boss, to pursue her subtly and silently.
But now, she had put out a public call for marriage.
It caught Qin Yu totally off-guard!
Should he be bold, thicken his skin and go to her office to confess his feelings?
No, no.
If he got rejected, not only would he lose face, but he would probably lose his job as well!
Qin Yu returned to the assistant's office with mixed and conflicting emotions.
Looking at the tightly shut frosted glass door, he couldn't describe what he was feeling.
At this moment.
Inside the office.
Yan Mingyu was having a CEO's special meal while video chatting with Liu Xiaoxiao.
"Babe, have you lost your mind? You're actually putting out a public call for matrimony!"
Probably the only person who dared to speak to Yan Mingyu like this was her best friend, Liu Xiaoxiao.
"I'm not crazy!"
Yan Mingyu calmly said, taking small bites of her food: "If that jerk can keep changing his women, why can't I get married off?"
"Oh, my dear, you're acting out of spite. No matter how much you hate that jerk, you can't just marry yourself off like this!"
Liu Xiaoxiao had the look of intense pain and distress.
"Ha.... When I announced my search for a husband, choosing a suitable man was just one of my goals,"
Yan Mingyu's red lips curved slightly, showing no sign of irrationality.
"Oh? Baby, what do you mean? You have other motives?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"Of course, my plan is to put myself in the public eye so that everyone in East Sea will be watching me. That way, Liu Nanyan won't dare to harm me in secret because if anything happens to me, all the attention will turn to her, and no matter how powerful she is, she won't be able to smooth things over!"
Yan Mingyu said, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Baby, are you saying that Liu Nanyan might be plotting to kill you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao became somewhat nervous.
"She's done it before. I have a feeling that her methods this time will be even crazier. That's why I've drawn everyone's attention to myself first, so she wouldn't dare to make a rash move!"
Yan Mingyu said calmly.
"Oh, baby, you're making me jittery. What if we strike first and drive her out of East Sea?"
Liu Xiaoxiao said, patting her ample chest.
"Liu Nanyan is easy to deal with, but Ichiro Sato behind her is troublesome. Unless I can uproot him completely, my only option is to play defense!"
Yan Mingyu said, biting her silver teeth lightly.
"Ah.... I've heard of that Ichiro Sato. He's not only wealthy but also surrounded by a group of warriors, so it's indeed difficult to deal with him. However, you must admit, baby, your plan to announce your search for a husband is brilliant. They definitely won't dare to touch you for a while!"
Liu Xiaoxiao said, giving a thumbs up.
"Heh... It's just a last resort. Okay, I need to handle some things now, bye!"
"Hmm, bye!"
After ending the call with her best friend, Yan Mingyu closed her laptop and slowly closed her eyes.
The pressure she was under was even greater than her best friend could imagine.
Afternoon.
Yang Min, her new secretary, hadn't stopped receiving calls on her work number. Yan Mingyu's marriage announcement, of course, wouldn't include her own number but Yang Min's instead.
She was to help with the initial filtering.
Only when a suitable candidate appeared would Yan Mingyu personally contact them.
Besides, her main objective was to garner public attention, not actually to marry, so Yan Mingyu didn't take the marriage announcement too seriously.
The following few days.
As Yan Mingyu had anticipated, not only were the East Sea newspapers reporting on her marriage announcement, but even the newspapers in the provincial city and some online portals were as well.
Suddenly, the public's attention was focused on Four Seas Corporation.
To lessen Yang Min's burden, Yan Mingyu also reassigned several secretaries to assist her.
Yet even so, the secretaries' phones were nearly exploding with calls.
This was an opportunity to marry a wealthy and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life—who wouldn't want to grasp it?
And Kong Jingtai also took his shamelessness in pursuing women to the extreme.
He drove his sports car to the entrance of Four Seas Corporation every day to deliver fresh flowers, knowing full well that they would be disposed of before reaching Yan Mingyu's office; still, he persisted doggedly every day.
In a blink, half a month had passed.
Qin Yu left work and had just activated his private number when he received several messages: Mr. Qin, hello, we are kindly reminding you that the one-month cooling-off period has now ended.
Tomorrow, please bring your ID card and marriage certificate to the Civil Affairs Bureau to meet your wife and complete the final step; then, your marriage will be dissolved.
If you have any legal questions, please feel free to consult us.
"Ha.... How considerate. I wonder how much money that cheap wife of mine gave them!"
Qin Yu said with self-deprecating humor, shaking his head before riding his electric scooter back to the urban village.
CEO's office.
Yan Mingyu's phone also received a message from the lawyer: President Yan, tomorrow you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to proceed with the divorce paperwork!
