Chapter 62 Jealousy
Shen Wanjun's pupils constricted, and she stared at Xiao Lanting, as if she couldn't believe that this was the person who scolded her that day!
"Lanting, she made a mistake, why are you still praising her..."
"You're not a professional, but you're already very good at translating to this level. But you are."
He frowned. "I remember telling you to prepare the information yourself, but you handed it over to an intern. Are you really focused on the work?"
Shen Wanjun was speechless.
He did say in person that she had to prepare the information herself and not let anyone else get it.
But, could such a small matter be bigger than Shen Zhiyi’s mistake?
"Lanting, you can't favor her just because she's young. This is clearly her fault. I don't accept your criticism!"
Xiao Lanting's voice was as cold as frost. "Then investigate thoroughly and find out whose fault it is."
Without a pause, he ordered his special assistant: "Go investigate."
Shen Wanjun’s expression froze.
She never thought that Xiao Lanting would think that she was behind it!
Although she was absolutely confident in her actions, she still felt very cold at this moment.
She swallowed her frustration and said, "I handled it wrong. I should have translated it myself."
Xiao Lanting said no more and walked quickly towards the elevator to greet the guests.
Shen Zhiyi listened and felt strange.
Why does a document need to be sent back and forth for translation?
Shen Wanjun has prepared the information herself, and she knows it best. Wouldn’t it be better to translate it directly?
Even if she needed a translation, didn't she have the talent in her own department? Did she have to send it to the CEO's office?
She turned around and asked the employees, and learned that there was no such fixed rule, and then gradually developed a conspiracy theory.
This guy wants to harm her!
She knew that Shen Wanjun didn’t like her, but she didn’t expect that this person would sacrifice the interests of the company just to make fun of her and make her look bad in public.
No matter how talented such a person is, it is useless.
If she were the boss, she would be fired.
At the elevator door.
Shen Wanjun suppressed her previous unhappiness and restored her smile: "I contacted Vincent before returning to China. He is a very difficult stone to chew, but after my efforts, I finally convinced him."
Everyone looked at her with admiration, but Xiao Lanting remained calm and composed.
At this time, the elevator door opened.
When Vincent and his group came out, they saw Xiao Lanting, raised their eyebrows and smiled, and took the initiative to extend their hands to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I've heard a lot about you. I didn't expect you to have achieved so much at such a young age. I didn't believe it before, but now that I see you in person, I'm really surprised."
The words came out in praise, which was inconsistent with the rumors Xiao Lanting had heard before.
Rumor has it that Vincent, the second-generation heir of a wealthy tycoon, is an extremely arrogant and conceited person. He looks down on small businesses and only cooperates with joint ventures.
Companies like theirs that grow slowly are not in his eyes.
It seems that the rumor is wrong.
Xiao Lanting exchanged a few words with him, and Shen Wanjun next to him interrupted.
"I told you this a long time ago, but you didn't believe me then," she said with a smile.
Vincent seemed not to hear her voice, his eyes looked straight ahead, and suddenly he lit up!
“Miss Shen!”
After watching the excitement, Shen Zhiyi was about to slip back to do homework when she heard a very poor Chinese accent and looked back.
At first glance, I saw Xiao Lanting's eyes filled with slight doubt.
The second time I looked, I saw a familiar foreign face approaching me.
This person is...
Her hand was held by the other party, and she said excitedly: “Miss Shen, it’s really you!”
Shen Zhiyi's mind shuddered and he remembered.
This person was the third victim of the Life-Extending Lamp, the only one she had personally visited to break the spell.
She looked at this person, then at Xiao Lanting, and said, "Are you the distinguished guest?"
Vincent was reluctant to let go of her hand. He clasped his hands tightly and said with a smile, "What distinguished guest? It's not expensive at all. I came here specifically for you. You saved me. I must repay such a great favor. I've learned that this company is owned by your brother."
Shen Zhiyi glanced at Xiao Lanting’s expression.
Sure enough, his face didn't look good.
She probably didn't expect that the other party came to meet her because of her.
She quickly stopped him from speaking and said, "Don't! I don't like separating public and private life."
"Don't worry, Miss Shen, I knew you would think so, so I investigated Huasheng and came here after a comprehensive analysis of its future potential. It is worth my investment!"
Worried that Shen Zhiyi wouldn't believe him, he immediately asked his assistant to present a stack of information.
"Look, this is the research I did. Huasheng has so much potential, there's no reason for me to let go of this piece of fat meat. I have to thank you for helping me figure it out."
Shen Zhiyi took the information and looked through it. Although he didn’t quite understand it, he nodded and smiled: “Sir, you made an extremely correct decision!”
The company run by her lady Xiao must be good!
Vincent's face was full of smiles when he received the praise.
Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and stole a glance at Xiao Lanting's expression.
Huh? Why is it still so gloomy?
She thought for a moment, then remembered something and quickly explained, "Oh, by the way, our company has made a lot of preparations to welcome you, but I messed up one document."
Vincent put away his smile, frowned along with hers, and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Shen Zhiyi said: “It’s this information. I translated it, but I’m not a professional, so the translation is not good enough. But it’s actually my fault. I should have handed it over to a professional, but I didn’t. I…”
She took the information, admitted her mistake, and didn't want to bring any negative impact to Washington, so she had to explain it clearly.
Vincent glanced carefully, then nodded: “Miss Shen, don’t worry, from today on I will work hard to learn Chinese well!”
Um?
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, she heard Vincent ask her: "Can I take this away as a souvenir?"
After all, this was translated for him personally by his benefactor!
Shen Zhiyi nodded blankly.
Vincent suddenly smiled heartily, his mouth full of “thank you”, and he held Shen Zhiyi’s hand again with both hands, reluctant to let go.
The audience was dumbfounded.
The arrogant Vincent?
The arrogant Vincent?
Vincent who looks down on small and medium-sized enterprises?
Ugh!
In front of Shen Zhiyi, this guy is completely a little fanboy!
Among the crowd, only Xiao Lanting had a different expression.
His eyes rested on Vincent's hands for a long time.
It's already eight and a half seconds, and you're still reluctant to let go?
This handshake is too long!
After Shen Zhiyi explained clearly, he stole a glance at Lady Xiao's face again and was immediately confused.
Why is it getting stinkier?
Wasn't she doing something wrong?
He suddenly came over, his eyes not lingering on her, but speaking only to Vincent.
"This way, please."
Vincent reluctantly let go of Shen Zhiyi’s hand and followed him into the reception room.
The moment Xiao Lanting passed by, Shen Zhiyi heard him speak softly, which seemed to be slightly cold: "Go wash your hands."
handwashing?
Her hands are not dirty.
But since her future boyfriend had spoken, she was happy to take a shower.
She happily ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.
