Chapter 195: Pretending Not to Know Each Other

He was standing in the spot closest to Fu Yanjing, besides Assistant Dong.

Therefore, Assistant Dong's low-pitched reminder still reached his ears.

He clearly heard the usually composed Assistant Dong say to Mr. Fu:

"It's reporter Wen."

This reminder contains so much enchanting beauty.

Standing behind him, he couldn't see Fu Yanjing's expression or gaze.

But I noticed Fu Yanjing's shoulders tense up for a moment.

Something's fishy.

These three characters were deeply etched in his mind.

Although I have no right to comment on what will happen to the two of them, I dare not think too much about it.

But in the end, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

It's always better to have good relations with those who have worked with Mr. Fu than to have bad relations with them.

A visual corner that no one pays attention to.

Sitting to the side, Wang Pei's pupils dilated as if he had just stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

Judging by the time, the people from the Urban Construction Department should be arriving soon.

Wang Pei sent a message to Kong Shenlin.

【you. 】

[Go to the elevator and greet them, showing our TV station's courtesy and sincerity, so they'll think of us if they have any newsworthy stories later.]

The key points are highlighted by deliberately punctuating the sentences.

But ironically, she was only trying to wink at a blind man.

Kong Shenlin thought he was typing in a hurry, so he immediately turned his head and whispered to Wen Jin, "Let's go greet the people from the Urban Construction Department. It'll be a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with them beforehand."

Watching the two figures walk out together, Wang Pei sighed deeply, feeling utterly disappointed.

Why are they so stubborn?

What is their status?

Who are you?

The rooftop corridor was covered with a dark red and gilded carpet, so that even walking was silent.

The sound of high heels hitting the ground was muffled on the soft carpet, but the pain below the ankle became clearer with each step.

Wen Jinye and Kong Shenlin went for a run outdoors all afternoon today, and their WeChat steps are about to exceed 30,000.

What a beautiful pair of torture instruments!

I've been wearing high heels for so many years since I started working, but I still can't get used to them.

My skin gets chafed so easily.

Wen Jin frowned slightly without showing any emotion, habitually enduring the pain.

Before the person arrived, Kong Shenlin gave Wen Jin a brief introduction.

"Not many people from the Urban Construction Department will come tonight, probably just Director Wang and his subordinate Section Chief Lin. Director Wang is unpredictable, stern, and very aloof. He's very shrewd, so you have to be very careful when you talk to him."

"As for Section Chief Lin, he's single, and quite accomplished at a young age. He even asked me to introduce him to someone."

Kong Shenlin suddenly gave Wen Jinye a suggestive look, as if Cupid had intervened, and said, "I remember you're single, right?"

Wen Jin was about to refuse and tell him to stop worrying.

The numbers on the LED lights began to climb steadily.

Kong Shenlin immediately became serious, "They're here, they're coming."

The elevator dinged.

The door slowly opened.

Besides Director Wang and Section Chief Lin, whom Kong Shenlin had shown photos to Wen Jin, there were two other familiar yet completely unexpected figures.

They all came into Wen Jinye's view at the same time.

The leader was tall and stern-looking.

His eyes were slightly lowered, and the corners of his lips curled up in a half-hearted smile.

It's a somewhat perfunctory response to what the person next to you is saying.

However, Director Wang, whom Kong Shenlin described as stern and aloof, was as gentle and humble as if he were about to appear on CCTV News.

"The development of Hanjiang Street has been delayed for many years. It can now proceed smoothly thanks to Henderson Land's insightful vision and generous spending! On behalf of the entire Hanjiang Street, no, the entire Jiangbei area, I thank you."

"Director Wang, you flatter me." His tone was indifferent, and his calm and composed face remained unmoved by the compliment.

The overhead light in the elevator shone down on his face.

His high, straight nose, slightly pursed lips, and sharp, defined jawline made him appear even more aloof and imposing.

But that coldness melted a little when his gaze fell upon Wen Jinye.

He stepped out first, then stopped in his tracks.

A hint of surprise and delight flickered across his dark eyes, which remained impassive.

Director Wang, Assistant Dong, and Section Chief Lin all walked out of the elevator together.

The moment their eyes met, Wen Jin's breath hitched, and she quickly lowered her head.

Kong Shenlin went forward to shake hands with Director Wang and greet him warmly and respectfully.

Therefore, no one noticed Wen Jin's fleeting awkwardness.

Aside from that gaze that Wen Jin deliberately ignored, but which remained fixed on her.

After Kong Shenlin exchanged some flattering pleasantries, Director Wang noticed a new face and looked at Wen Jinye, "And this is...?"

Wen Jinye bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, Director Wang. I've heard so much about you. I'm Wen Jinye, a reporter from Jiangbei TV Station. I was recently transferred to the Social News Department."

Kong Shenlin, intending to pave the way for Wen Jinye, added, "Reporter Wen was very famous in the financial world before, and was once an excellent financial reporter."

Director Wang understood, "Then we'll have to deal with each other more often in the future."

"It is my honor."

Fu Yanjing watched quietly.

Seeing that she avoided his gaze, he treated her as if she were invisible.

That unease and awkwardness, that fear that others might notice even the slightest hint of something between them, was as guilty as a thief caught in the act.

Suddenly, a barely perceptible, slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Reporter Wen, it's been a long time."

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds after the sound was made.

A look of surprise flashed across Director Wang's eyes: "Mr. Fu knows Reporter Wen?"

Kong Shenlin was also stunned. After a few seconds of reaction, he suddenly realized: "Reporter Wen just reported on the financial circle. Didn't he interview Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu and Jin Yi have known each other for a long time, haven't they?"

Fu Yanjing's calm gaze swept across the crowd before finally settling on Wen Jinye.

He casually adopted a cocky attitude: "Whether you recognize me or not depends on whether Reporter Wen remembers me."

After saying that, Wen Jin lowered her head slightly, feeling that everyone was watching her.

Fu Yanjing, a person who is highly regarded, can turn an unknown person into the focus of attention with just a casual remark.

Her shoulders tensed up as she took a deep breath.

"How could I not remember Mr. Fu? I was honored that Mr. Fu agreed to my interview. I was just surprised that Mr. Fu remembered me."

Her official tone perfectly balanced the sense of detachment and surprise.

But Fu Yanjing still noticed the slight tremor in the last syllable of her voice as she gritted her teeth.

What exactly is he going to do?!

Wen Jin's long hair fell naturally, with a few soft strands brushing against her cheeks and slightly obscuring her eyes.

Using this hazy, alluring veil as cover, she glared at him silently.

I was afraid he would do something reckless in this situation.

Aside from his enemies, the only person in the world who could regard him as a plague was Wen Jinye.

But the latter praised her wholeheartedly in front of everyone.

"Reporter Wen is highly skilled and has an extraordinary temperament and appearance. She is unforgettable at first sight."

Fu Yanjing maintained his aloof and self-possessed demeanor, making everyone heed his straightforward praise refrain from speculating about anything romantic.

Only Assistant Dong stood in the corner where no one paid attention, closing his eyes expressionlessly.

His boss has completely let loose on his pursuit of his wife.

They're being incredibly reckless.
