Chapter 184: The Legendary Overbearing President's All-Round Assistant
It was their first blind date, and Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque had no prior experience.
After the waiter served the dishes, they both tacitly agreed to focus on eating first rather than chatting too much.
Once they relaxed and started some casual conversation, they quickly got into the mood.
The Cinema Plan
"Mo Bin sent me the cinema location. It's about a 10-minute drive from here. Would you like to take my car?"
Lu Yunque knew that Yun Zijin hadn't asked him for a pickup, which meant she had driven herself.
But since this was a blind date, he still hoped to ride in the same car with her, giving them some extra time together.
Yun Zijin thought about it for a moment before finally agreeing.
Since this was a date, there wasn't really anything wrong with riding in the same car.
After finishing their meal, they headed to the front desk to settle the bill.
When they walked out of Lan Kwai Fong, Lu Yunque's driver had already pulled the car up to the entrance.
Lu Yunque's car was the highly recognizable Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The doorman opened the back door, and Lu Yunque naturally raised his hand, offering his arm for Yun Zijin to hold as she got into the car.
Only after Lu Yunque entered did the driver start the engine and drive away.
A Strange Car Following Them?
However, Lu Yunque quickly noticed something unusual—
Behind his car, there was another Rolls-Royce Phantom of the same model and an unknown nanny car.
He recognized the nanny car—it was the one Yun Zijin's bodyguards usually drove.
But he didn't recognize the second Rolls-Royce Phantom sandwiched between the two vehicles.
"Boss, there are two cars following us. Should I lose them?"
Anyone who worked as a driver for Lu Yunque had to have exceptional skills.
"Don't worry—that's my car. The people inside are my bodyguards."
"Your car? So we drive the same model."
He wasn't sure about the interior layout, but the exterior configurations seemed identical.
"Coincidence! Just a coincidence. I happened to be driving this one for the past few days. I'll switch it out in a couple of days."
With so many cars in the garage, she liked to give them equal attention.
"Hmm, I figured as much."
Lu Yunque knew that Yun Zijin frequently switched cars—he had seen her drive a Silber and a Ferrari before.
Given her habit of not driving the same car for a week, it made sense that she'd switch cars every few days.
Still, he was secretly pleased that they had ended up driving the same model on the same day.
Arriving at the Cinema
Ten minutes passed quickly, and as the Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up to the cinema, it immediately drew a lot of attention.
Most of the people at the cinema were couples or groups of students.
Luxury cars like the Rolls-Royce Phantom were rarely seen in this kind of setting.
But today, not just one, but two appeared.
Car enthusiasts couldn't take their eyes off the Spirit of Ecstasy emblem.
The moment Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque stepped out of the car, they instantly became the center of attention.
Mo Bin: The All-Round Assistant
"President!"
After purchasing the movie tickets, Mo Bin had been waiting nearby.
Just before they arrived, Lu Yunque had messaged him to come pick up the tickets in advance.
At that moment, several passersby started whispering:
——CEO! Could this be the legendary overbearing CEO who is rich, handsome, and devoted?
——AWSL! This is straight out of a novel! He's so good-looking and rich—how are other men supposed to compete?
——Am I the only one who thinks the woman next to the CEO is absolutely stunning? She's breathtaking!
——No, you're not alone! She's so pretty! I wish I could be friends with her!
Lu Yunque ignored the chatter, focusing on grabbing Yun Zijin's wrist and leading her toward Mo Bin.
For some reason, as they walked forward, people instinctively stepped aside, clearing a path.
Maybe this was just his natural aura.
Popcorn and Coke: A Classic Date Experience
"Boss, here are the movie tickets for you and Miss Yun.
I also heard that popcorn and Coke are essential for watching a movie, but I didn't buy them in advance because I didn't want them to go stale.
Please wait a moment—I'll go stand in line right now."
Yun Zijin: Is this the legendary all-round special assistant of the overbearing CEO?
Not only does he buy movie tickets, but he also lines up for snacks and drinks?
Lu Yunque shook his head.
"No need. There's still time—we'll just buy them ourselves.
I've already transferred the money for the tickets to you. Make sure you collect it."
Originally, he had planned to let Mo Bin queue up.
But after seeing so many young couples buying popcorn and Coke together, he had a new idea.
Since it was just queuing for popcorn, Yun Zijin had no objections.
She turned around and saw a few familiar figures in the crowd.
"You guys want to watch a movie? And grab some snacks?"
Leaving her alone with Lu Yunque to eat, drink, and have fun, while Lingyi and the others watched from a distance, felt a bit awkward.
"Assistant Mo, why don't you grab a ticket too?
It's Saturday—you shouldn't have to work overtime, right?"
Mo Bin glanced at Lu Yunque.
Whether he had to work overtime or not was entirely up to his boss.
"Thank you for your consideration, Miss, but it's not necessary."
Lingyi immediately declined.
If they watched the movie, they wouldn't be able to ensure Yun Zijin's safety the entire time.
Mo Bin actually wanted to accept the invitation, but since Lingyi had already refused, he couldn't justify going along either.
"Thank you, Miss Yun, but I'm actually off-duty now.
I need to go home and spend time with my girlfriend, so I'll pass on the movie."
Since everyone declined, it was a little disappointing, but it didn't affect Yun Zijin's mood for the movie.
Ordering at the Concession Stand
"It's our turn."
Lu Yunque slightly adjusted his grip on Yun Zijin's wrist, signaling for her to focus on ordering.
She was briefly distracted by the menu.
"I'll take a bucket of popcorn and a cup of iced Coke.
Would you like anything?"
She couldn't picture someone as refined as Lu Yunque drinking Coke.
So she subconsciously only ordered one cup for herself before turning to ask him.
"I'll have the same as you."
"...Coke? Have you ever tried it?"
Nine out of ten CEOs had stomach problems, and the last one probably had a stomach ulcer.
Wasn't it bad for his stomach to drink cold beverages?
"I've never had it before, but I'm willing to try."
Coke had never been on Lu Yunque's list of acceptable drinks.
But today, he was making an exception.
"Then should I get you a room-temperature one? Can you handle it iced?"
Without ice, Coke loses its soul.
"It's fine. I'm not that fragile."
"...Alright. Then make it two iced Cokes."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
As they waited, Yun Zijin glanced at the bucket of popcorn.
"Why just one bucket?"
"We probably won't finish more than one."
She usually got tired of popcorn after a few bites, so she didn't dare order too much.
As for Lu Yunque, he trusted whatever she said and had no objections at all.
In the end, the overbearing CEO, dressed in a tailored suit, walked into the cinema holding a bucket of popcorn and a cup of Coke.
