The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

Xiao Yiyang sensed the worry in Leng Ruofei's eyes. He reached out his hand and gently covered Leng Ruofei's hand, trying to comfort her. "Don't worry, the overseas business has been handed over to Zijian to handle. All assets have been sold and converted into cash. The recent market situation is not peaceful, and Tianjiao is also trying to recover the funds as soon as possible to ensure the safety and stability of the funds."

Leng Ruofei nodded slightly, but his brows were still furrowed. "I know that doing business always has ups and downs, but this time the situation feels particularly complicated and severe. Don't overwork yourself. The group's affairs are important, but you can't ignore your health and mood." Her voice was soft and firm, like a spring breeze, with a hint of warmth and comfort.

Xiao Yiyang looked at her gratefully, with a warm current in his heart. "Ruofei, having you by my side always allows me to find a sense of peace and security in this complex business world. In fact, this change is also an inevitable choice for the group's strategic adjustment. The economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is active and the market potential is huge. We need to seize such opportunities to achieve new development of the group."

Leng Ruofei said thoughtfully: "I understand that opportunities and challenges always coexist. It's just that you must learn to deal with the risks and pressures in the process reasonably. Can Zijian handle the task of handling overseas assets? After all, this is not a small matter."

Xiao Yiyang smiled confidently, "Zijian has been with me for many years, and I trust his abilities. And the team assigned to him this time is also the elite of the group, I believe they can handle everything properly. Of course, I will also keep an eye on the progress to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"That's good." Leng Ruofei breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, after the change in investment direction, have your domestic business encountered any obstacles or problems?"

Xiao Yiyang pondered for a moment and replied, "Of course there are difficulties. New investment areas require re-establishing personal connections and market channels, and also face pressure from local competitors. But our team has been working hard to overcome them, conducting in-depth market research and analysis, and formulating detailed response strategies."

Leng Ruofei gently held Xiao Yiyang's hand, "I believe you and your team will be able to cope with these challenges. However, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't push yourself too hard."

Xiao Yiyang nodded, "I will."

After a short break, they set out on their journey of investigation again. In front of a fashionable clothing store, Leng Ruofei was attracted by a unique dress.

The design of the dress was simple yet elegant, with smooth lines like a mountain stream, natural and moving. The white skirt fluttered in the wind like a blooming lily. Leng Ruofei walked into the store excitedly and carefully studied the fabric and cut of the dress.

"Yi Yang, look at this dress, isn't it very design-conscious?" Leng Ruofei's eyes were shining with excitement, and she couldn't wait to share her discovery with Xiao Yi Yang.

Xiao Yiyang observed it carefully, nodded, and said, "It's really good, but I think it would be more perfect if some details were added to the neckline or cuffs, such as lace or delicate buttons."

Leng Ruofei listened and smiled and said, "You are right. It seems that we have the same idea. Sometimes, a small detail can make a piece of clothing glow with a whole new charm."

In this way, they inspected Dongguan Street for a whole day, from the beginning to the end of the street, and from the end of the street back to the beginning. They left their footprints in every store, and every communication made them gain a lot. As night fell quietly, the lights of Dongguan Street gradually lit up. Strings of red lanterns hung high under the eaves, and the soft lights sprinkled on the ancient street, decorating the entire street like a dream.

Leng Ruofei and Xiao Yiyang walked on the dimly lit street, their figures lengthened by the lights. Their hearts were filled with expectations for the future, as if there were countless possibilities ahead waiting for them to explore.

This day's investigation gave them a deeper understanding of the market and made Leng Ruofei's design ideas clearer. They believe that as long as they work hard, their dreams will eventually become reality.

The next morning, the warm sunlight sprinkled softly on Yangzhou City like a veil, covering this ancient and beautiful city with a layer of golden glory. Xiao Yiyang and Leng Ruofei held hands and stepped into the picturesque scenery of Slender West Lake with great expectation.

The scenery of Slender West Lake is breathtaking. The lake water is clear and transparent like a huge emerald. The breeze blows gently, and the lake surface sparkles, as if countless silver scales are jumping happily. Willows on both sides of the river are swaying in the wind, and the tender green willow branches are like silk threads, swaying in the wind, as if they are the green silk dancing lightly by nature, gently caressing the lake surface. The peach blossoms are bright red like clouds, the apricot blossoms are white like snow, and there are also the golden winter jasmine and the lavender lilac flowers, which complement each other, colorful and gorgeous, and beautiful beyond words.

They boarded an antique painted boat with carved beams and painted buildings. The boat slowly moved along the winding river with the melodious horn of the boatman. Along the way, the famous Five Pavilion Bridge came into view. The five pavilions on the bridge were arranged in a staggered manner and had unique shapes. The pavilion roofs were covered with yellow glazed tiles, which sparkled in the sun like bright pearls. There were fifteen bridge holes under the bridge, which were connected to each other. On the full moon night, fifteen moons were reflected in the water, which was a wonder of the ages.

Leng Ruofei leaned slightly on Xiao Yiyang's shoulder, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, with infinite creative inspiration in his heart, and he couldn't help but said softly: "Yiyang, look at the beauty of Slender West Lake, it is so smart and graceful. The clothes I design should be like it, with elegant lines and a smart charm, which will make people intoxicated at a glance."

Xiao Yiyang gently put his arm around her shoulders, kissed her forehead, and responded with a smile: "Ruofei, your talent and thoughts will surely make every piece of clothing a masterpiece of art. I believe they will be as intoxicating as this Slender West Lake."

The pleasure boat continued to move forward. When it reached the Twenty-Four Bridges, Xiao Yiyang gently pointed to the bridge and said, "Ruofei, look at the Twenty-Four Bridges. The railings are like flowing jade belts, and the bridge body is like neon lights lying on the waves, full of poetry and romance. Du Mu's line 'On a moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridges, where does the beautiful woman teach to play the flute' has aroused the imagination of countless people." Leng Ruofei looked in the direction he pointed, her eyes full of intoxication. She raised her head slightly, looked at Xiao Yiyang, and sighed, "Yangzhou is really full of beautiful scenery, and every place seems to be telling an ancient and moving story. I feel extremely happy to be able to appreciate such beautiful scenery with you." Xiao Yiyang gazed into her eyes affectionately and said, "Fei'er, as long as you are by my side, everything in this world becomes more beautiful."

After getting off the pleasure boat, they strolled along the path by the lake. On the grass beside the path, there was a sea of ​​​​flowers in full bloom, colorful and gorgeous. Leng Ruofei was like a happy butterfly, lightly running into the sea of ​​flowers, and then stopped. She squatted down, gently stroked the delicate flowers, and a smile as bright as a flower bloomed on her face.

"Yi Yang, look at the colors and postures of these flowers, they are so charming. Each of their petals is like a carefully carved work of art. I must skillfully incorporate their elements into my clothing design so that people who wear the clothes I design can also feel the charm of nature." Leng Ruofei's eyes flashed with excitement.

Xiao Yiyang walked behind her, put his arms around her waist, gently rested his chin on her shoulder, and said lovingly: "Fei'er, your ideas are always so unique and wonderful. I can't wait to see you turn these inspirations into stunning works. I believe they will definitely cause a sensation in the fashion industry."

Leng Ruofei turned around and put her arms around Xiao Yiyang's neck. Their faces were close together, and their breaths intertwined. She said coquettishly, "This is all inseparable from your support and encouragement. With you by my side, I have the courage and motivation to pursue my dream." Xiao Yiyang kissed her lips affectionately and said, "You are the goddess of inspiration in my heart forever."

After a day of fun at Slender West Lake, in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm orange hue over the entire city of Yangzhou. They came to the famous Fuchun Tower.

Fuchun Tower was bustling with laughter and joy from the guests, full of the atmosphere of life. They found a seat by the window and sat down, with a view of the bustling night scene of Yangzhou Ancient Street outside the window.

Soon, delicious dishes were served. The first was the steaming, fragrant crab roe buns, with thin skin and large fillings, crystal clear. Leng Ruofei couldn't wait to pick one up and take a bite. The full crab roe juice flowed out instantly, and the fresh and fragrant taste spread in her mouth, making her exclaim: "It's so delicious, this crab roe bun is simply the best in the world!"

Next came the hair-thin silken tofu. The chef's superb knife skills cut the tofu into hair-thin pieces that melted in the mouth, which was amazing. Leng Ruofei picked up a piece with chopsticks, tasted it carefully and said, "This silken tofu has such a delicate texture, it's amazing."

There is also the unique tea made from three provinces boiled in one river, which has a delicate fragrance and a long lasting flavor. Xiao Yiyang poured a cup for Leng Ruofei and said, "Fei'er, try this tea and feel its flavor." Leng Ruofei took a sip and said, "This tea has a pleasant fragrance, as if it carries the tenderness of Jiangnan."

During the meal, Xiao Yiyang picked up food for Leng Ruofei from time to time, his eyes full of love. Leng Ruofei also wiped the corners of Xiao Yiyang's mouth from time to time. The interaction between the two was full of sweetness and warmth.

After finishing their meal, they left Fuchunlou contentedly. Walking on the streets of Yangzhou, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them and lengthening their figures leaning on each other.
