Who Needs a CEO? I Choose Stardom

It was the kind of beauty people call ’exquisite’.

She wore amber sunglasses, had a great figure, and dressed with impeccable taste.

A short-sleeved, V-neck white blouse revealed her delicate collarbones. Nestled between them was a slender platinum necklace with a large diamond pendant. She paired the top with slim-fit black trousers and matching high heels. The ensemble accentuated her already tall figure, giving her an imposing aura.

Having worked at Yuan Yan Venture Capital for a while, the attractive receptionists had all developed eagle eyes. Before she even had a chance to speak, their gazes were already fixed on the ring on her right ring finger.

’That ring looks so familiar!’

Their boss had been ”casually” checking the time all day. If holding out his pinky wasn’t so effeminate, he probably would have stuck out that ring finger for everyone to admire.

’And in her left hand, she’s carrying... a lunchbox?’

GASP—

’Our perpetually single boss... is he finally off the market?’

It was only then that they recognized who she was.

’Holy crap, isn’t that Ni Bingyan?’

’They denied those dating rumors so vehemently... so it was all true?’

’Is this a front-row seat to some prime celebrity gossip?’

’This is so exciting!’

’Since the boss has already chosen her, it doesn’t matter who she is. Even if she were a sow, they’d have to accept her!’

’Let alone a goddess like her!’

The receptionists immediately shot to their feet, their faces breaking into enthusiastic smiles that were far wider than the standard eight-teeth service grin—they looked like they were greeting their own mothers.

”Welcome, Lady Boss, on your inspection tour!”

Then, in perfect unison, they gestured for her to proceed inside.

Ni Bingyan already felt awkward just walking down the hallway.

It was working hours and everyone was focused on their tasks, but the loud CLACK-CLACK-CLACK of her high heels echoed through the office.

When she reached the front desk, things got even more ridiculous.

Not only did everyone look up in unison at the sound, but after a quick glance, they created such a huge spectacle!

Before her face could turn completely red, Sang Yuan quickly appeared and walked out to her.

”Tired from the trip?”

His left hand, the one with the ring, took the lunchbox from her with swift, decisive precision, then immediately reached for her hand.

’He didn’t want to work; he just wanted to stick close to his girl and nurture their relationship.’

Worn down by his pestering, Ni Bingyan had agreed to bring him lunch just so he would focus on his work. She never expected the task to be this difficult.

Thinking about their plan to eventually go public with their relationship, Ni Bingyan, though embarrassed, held his hand and followed him inside.

She had thought the awkwardness would subside once they were past the main entrance, but as it turned out—

Sang Yuan’s office was at the back of the floor, so they had to pass through a corridor to get there.

The corridor was flanked by glass walls, revealing one cubicle after another.

The work environment at Yuan Yan Venture Capital was excellent. Each cubicle was at least two to three times the size of one at an ordinary company. But with the company occupying three full floors, the number of employees was still considerable.

’In a situation like this, you have to keep up appearances!’

After all, Ni Bingyan had spent the entire morning meticulously applying her makeup. Her plan was to not only deliver lunch but also to deter any ”little vixens” in Sangyuan Company who might be plotting to use their proximity to their advantage.

Ni Bingyan quickly slipped into professional mode. She pretended she was at an awards ceremony, having just won another award. The host on stage was calling her name, and everyone was turning to look at her.

She took off her sunglasses, a polite smile gracing her face, and even gave a gentle wave toward the cubicles.

”Wow!”

”Ooh~”

As her gaze swept over everyone in sight, she didn’t receive a single resentful glare she had imagined. Instead, everyone looked at her with the same fervor one might use to welcome the God of Wealth.

And in a way, weren’t they welcoming the God of Wealth?

After all, the moment the Lady Boss had left after her last visit, the boss had sent out red packets in the company group chat.

Getting to earn a little extra cash while on the clock—what a great feeling.

’Sigh... I really wish the Lady Boss would come more often. Every day would be great!’

’Then again, the Lady Boss is a huge star. If she comes a few more times, the lobby will be swarming with paparazzi. On second thought, maybe it’s better if she doesn’t.’
