Chapter 28 You are younger than me
Lu Li's secretary looked silly, but in reality, his mouth was tightly shut. Ji Shian switched his focus to Yun Yuan: "Let's eat first. They'll be done soon."
The topic returned to Lu Li, and Yun Yuan became unmoved again. Ji Shian remained unmoved, seemingly uninterested. Yun Yuan, however, couldn't help but want to chatter.
She nudged him with her elbow: "Is there anything wrong with Director Qin?"
Qin Yinghuai had long been a legend in his circle, and few would compare him to Lu Li and his generation. They all assumed he belonged to their father's generation, even though the age difference between the two generations was not that great.
Ji Shian said calmly, "No."
Yun Yuan: "There's no such thing as a personal assistant or secretary?"
Ji Shian keenly caught Yun Yuan's unhappiness: "Lu Li has it?"
The secretary suddenly said, "That's impossible!" He was the one who protected the boss's innocence.
Yun Yuan ignored him and continued talking to Ji Shian. She now had no good feelings towards anyone with the surname Lu.
Secretary Tao Jin: ...
Once she started complaining, she couldn't stop. Ji Shian had a gentle expression and responded at the right time, and Yun Yuan poured out all the complaints like beans.
Tao Jin watched from the sidelines, unable to stop them. He could only silently message his boss, urging them to finish quickly. How could he make money when his wife was about to die?
Ji Shian looked at the steak cut into small pieces on the plate and slowly digested the information.
It's known that Lu Li, the president of Lu's Group, has suddenly gained a beloved female secretary. This secretary is prospering at the company, rumored to have earned President Lu's attention through her outreach. She once "accidentally" encountered Yun Yuan, and exchanged a series of ambiguous words with him.
I was also forced to listen to all of Lu Li's bizarre actions. For example, he played "I Really Like You" on the radio and pretended to let Yun Yuan hear it accidentally. For example, when he visited her home during the Spring Festival, he stuffed her with a red envelope as big as a brick in front of all the elders. For example, when she was on her period, he held her stomach and told her to drink more hot water...
Yun Yuan clenched her fists. "It's just a business marriage, so I don't really care. But Lu Li can't let anyone dance in front of me."
Secretary Tao Jin's face turned pale: See, he clearly reminded Mr. Lu that it would be best to inform Miss Yun about this matter, haha, but that man just didn't believe it~
Ji Shian quietly interrupted Yun Yuan and tried to change the subject to Zheng Xiaoxiao: "What's the name of that female secretary?"
Yun Yuan blinked, feeling a murderous aura lingering around Ji Shi'an. "It seemed like it was Xiao or something, I can't quite remember. Shi'an, are you going to help me with my revenge? That's not necessary. I just think Lu Li's behavior is rude. If you like someone, just be honest about it. You can't have your eye on the pot (marriage) while also eyeing the bowl (love)."
Ji Shian looked at her silently, not wanting to say she was overthinking it. She had no interest in interfering in the relationship of a young couple. Finally, she said kindly, "If you need any help, just let me know."
Yun Yuan was touched: "Okay, then do you know any handsome guys who can introduce me to you? They should be more handsome than Lu Li, richer than him, and have a better temper than him. Well, they should be less troublesome than him."
He washes his hands eight times before eating, never eats from the same plate with others, always buttons his shirt to the top, and keeps his hair meticulously groomed.
Ji Shian said sincerely: "Isn't this good?" He loves cleanliness so much.
Yun Yuan said disdainfully: "But he's slower than a girl when it comes to leaving the house."
Ji Shian suggested: "Maybe next time we can make the appointment earlier and you can arrive later so you don't have to wait."
Yun Yuan reluctantly said, "It's not that I'm unpunctual."
Ji Shian understood that she was just unhappy with him at the moment, and even if Lu Li was kneeling in front of her and massaging her legs, she might want to kick him back.
Yun Yuan's eyes seemed to have found a soul resonance: "Do you have this feeling too?" It seems that even the breathing of a person is wrong.
Assistant Ji, who had never been in a relationship, nodded and said, "Every time I have my period, I want to put the document on my boss's head." Why couldn't things be explained clearly in one go, instead of making her run several times?
Cough cough. Tao Jin coughed madly to remind the two people who were chatting heatedly, and looked behind them frantically.
Qin Yinghuai and Lu Li stood not far away with complicated expressions, and it seemed that they heard everything.
Ji Shian froze slightly, holding on to the belief that as long as he didn't meet her eyes, he could pretend nothing had happened, and tried to change the subject: "Is that woman called Zheng Xiaoxiao?"
Yun Yuan was stunned for a moment: "It seems so."
Ji Shian closed his eyes and reminded, fearing that Lu Li was not the only one standing behind him: "That person has some problems. When you are happy, you'd better remind Mr. Lu."
Yun Yuan, who was unaware of anything, was excited: "Could it be that she is an undercover sent by the rival, and Lu Li has fallen in love with the spy?" How exciting!
Out of the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw a man in a suit standing beside Yun Yuan. She held the cup in both hands and said devoutly, "She is a woman with a bit of magic in her."
Yun Yuan moved closer, with an expression of anticipation on her face, not disguising the fact that she was looking forward to the show. "Tell me in detail."
Ji Shian prayed for her silently. Judging from Tao Jin's calmness, there might be something else hidden in this matter.
"If you're so curious, why don't you ask me?" Lu Li's cold voice rang in Yun Yuan's right ear. "You haven't answered my calls or messages for a whole week."
Lu Li lowered his eyes, "Sister, you have such a cruel heart."
Ji Shian, who was complaining in his heart that no one was replying to the message and not taking the initiative to look for someone, suddenly looked up: Damn, sister!
The speed was too fast, and the body leaned back due to inertia, and the warm palm slightly supported it. Regardless of the fact that the couple was younger than him, Ji Shian recalled his stupid remarks and said, "Perhaps I still have a chance to make amends."
Qin Yinghuai retracted his palm and twisted his fingertips, then pulled over a chair and sat next to her. "I'll be more careful next time."
Ji Shian stammered, "That's not necessary." What she just said was mainly out of anger. She was angry that Qin Yinghuai had to make things clear and didn't allow her to leave immediately and hide for a few days to calm down.
Qin Yinghuai somehow managed to get a plate of sunflower seeds. Ji Shian scooped up a handful and sighed, "I was the one who peeled Li Hanfeng's pot of sunflowers in the end."
As if instantly returning to the grand and embarrassing scene of that day, Qin Yinghuai sighed, "In the end, it all went into your stomach."
Ji Shian glanced at him and said, "Xiao Lin ate it too." She stuffed a big handful into his mouth.
Qin Yinghuai frowned and pointed: "Xiao Lin has them all, but I don't."
Ji Shian: "Didn't you say that seeing it gives you a headache and asked me to keep it away?"
Qin Yinghuai pursed his lips and said, "Withdraw."
Ji Shian glanced at Lu Li, who was standing next to him and watching the sun hit the earth and global warming causing icebergs to melt, and pouted at him: "Did you learn this from President Lu?" He acted like a spoiled child regardless of age or the occasion.
Qin Yinghuai flatly denied it: "I have done something similar and I will never hide it from you."
Ji Shian nodded: "Indeed, because I was watching right next to them." As a subordinate, she had to arrange the temporary replacement, so it was difficult for her not to get involved.
The conversation was boring, so Qin Yinghuai sat up straight and said, "Let's just watch the show." Let's point our guns at outsiders together.
Ji Shian raised and lowered the corners of his lips, focusing his attention on the young couple opposite him.
"Not a scumbag? Just because you say you're not, then you're not. What did your parents teach you? If you like someone, go after them. Our marriage was just an ordinary one. Just because you grew up with me, how could I possibly eat you?"
Lu Li hesitated to speak: "It's not a marriage of arrangement..." He had requested this marriage from his parents.
"I only let Zheng Xiaoxiao in because I thought she had problems. You can come to the company to supervise. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would be unhappy..."
Yun Yuan put her hands on her hips and said, "Is this the unspeakable secret that Tao Jin mentioned? How unspeakable is it? Will I turn around and jump off the top floor of the Lu Building after hearing it, or will your tongue be cut off after you finish speaking it?"
"You know how the protagonists in TV dramas always die? It's because they're so vague and unclear that they leave a huge hole for the villain to crawl into."
Lu Li lowered his head for a second: "I was wrong, sister, can we not get involved in the engagement?"
Yun Yuan was helpless: "We have such a pure brother-sister relationship, don't you feel uncomfortable being tied up like this?"
Lu Li's face turned cold instantly, as if he was sulking.
Yun Yuan was even more arrogant than him: "Just give me the cold shoulder again! When you grow up, you'll be able to turn against Tian Gang and bully your sister, right?"
Watching the elementary school kids quarreling with great interest, Ji Shian retreated strategically and whispered, "Yun Yuan is so bloody when she's angry." He also didn't expect that President Lu hadn't caught up with her yet.
Qin Yinghuai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know each other well?"
Ji Shian explained: "It's mainly because she's too enthusiastic." She has a cheerful and generous personality, and she doesn't make people feel embarrassed.
Such a high evaluation. Qin Yinghuai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you like this?"
Ji Shian said honestly: "I don't know. We haven't discussed how to determine sexual orientation."
Qin Yinghuai felt a chill down his spine. After seeing the smile in Ji Shian's eyes, he reacted and tried hard to fight for it: "Do you want to give it a try?"
"Will I die if I try?" She thought for a moment, "I don't want to go abroad in the short term."
Qin Yinghuai pursed his lips and said, "You can choose any of Chengyue's subsidiaries."
"That's like being exiled." The development of other domestic subsidiaries couldn't compare to that of Chengyue headquarters. Ji Shian was worried. "Director Qin, people always strive for higher positions. Can't we just pretend nothing happened?"
You still have to stay. Qin Yinghuai said silently in his heart.
Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, casting a small shadow. Qin Yinghuai slowed his breathing and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, Shi An."
Ji Shian: [I don’t want to listen.jpg]
She turned her head and looked to the side, where Tao Jin was stopping the manager and frantically explaining the situation.
Logically, she should go and help, but considering that Tao Jin must have sold her out when reporting to Lu Li, she finally decided to just sit back and watch the fun.
Seeing no response, Qin Yinghuai silently opened a bottle of drink for her and handed it to her. Ji Shian's eyelids jumped, and he subconsciously looked at Yun Yuan, who was attacking one-sidedly, and Lu Li, who was holding his head in a mask of pain. "What are you doing?"
She said cautiously, "There are so many people here. Be honest and I'm telling you something."
Qin Yinghuai glanced at the back of the dark head, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Perhaps she herself hasn't realized that since Qin Yinghuai confessed his love, she has spoken much more confidently, and she no longer immediately kneels down when she talks back to her boss as she did in the past. She is like a child who loses a fight and sues his parents, even though he is not in the right.
Thinking from another angle, Qin Yinghuai couldn't help but curl his lower lip. His image in Ji Shian's heart was still relatively reliable. At least the latter didn't think that he was just having an irresponsible idea of playing around.
The days of private contact blurred the boundaries between superiors and subordinates, and also made Ji Shian accustomed to Qin Yinghuai's proximity. But that didn't mean she couldn't feel his fiery gaze.
The entire back of his head was filled with anger, but he didn't know how much shame and embarrassment were also in it.
In fact, Qin Yinghuai always sat upright. Unless someone knew him very well, no one could tell that he was looking at the person he liked with his peripheral vision, with extreme concentration.
Seeing that its energy storage was almost full, the system decided to hide it from the host once more.
Never tell the host that another way to collect energy is the progress of the relationship between the two, otherwise Ji Shian will definitely give all its snacks to friends and cut off its network.
The system tore open a bag of hidden cookies, sighed for a moment, and grunted.
