On a snowy night when she was eighteen, the grand gate opened before her. An aged voice rang out above her: "From now on, he is your uncle." A noble and benevolent man then knelt before her...
Chapter 100 Mobilization
The moment Shen Sangsang saw Su Nanxue, she naturally stopped.
Shen Yuehuai, who was in the living room, felt a gaze on his face, and he subconsciously looked towards the door.
He saw someone standing outside the gate.
When Su Nanxue saw his gaze, she naturally turned her head as well.
She saw Shen Sangsang.
Su Nanxue stared, slowly pursed her lips, and then she looked at Shen Yuehuai again.
Shen Yuehuai's gaze fell on the cake in her hand again, and no emotion could be seen on his face.
For some reason, at this moment, Shen Sangsang didn't want to go in. She looked at the couple standing in front of her, put the cake in her hand where she was standing, and turned to leave.
Su Nanxue's eyes naturally fell on the cake outside, and she looked at the people around her.
Shen Yuehuai stood there and did not chase her, but let her leave, his eyes just staring at her for a long time.
After Shen Sangsang came out of the Shen family villa, she took a taxi and left. Naturally, she went back to the hotel.
And after she left, Shen Yuehuai's gaze fell on the birthday cake in the distance again.
Su Nanxue stood aside and whispered, "It's not that I don't like eggs—"
Before she finished speaking, Shen Yuehuai had already walked outside and stopped beside the cake. He reached out and picked up the cake.
Su Nanxue stood in the hall, her face solemn, staring at him holding the cake.
He didn't like eating cake or celebrating birthdays, but he celebrated his birthday with the little girl every year.
Shen Yuehuai lowered his eyes to look at the cake for a long time, then turned around and carried it into the hall, then said to the servant beside him: "Put it in the refrigerator and put it away."
Su Nanxue's expression was ugly, but she still said, "Yue Huai, she doesn't understand you at all. In front of you, she is just a little maid trying to please you."
Su Nanxue even dared to say that the person who understood him best in this world was only her, Su Nanxue.
But she didn't say this.
When Shen Yuehuai heard her words, he turned to her and said, "Thank you so much for coming to celebrate my birthday today."
There was a sense of distance and courtesy in those words, but... there was no longer the affection that existed before.
Su Nanxue choked up and asked, "Yue Huai, are you still blaming me?"
…
Shen Sangsang returned to her residence next to the hotel.
The next morning, she received a call from Chen Lili. She thought she was late for work. Just as she looked up at the time, Chen Lili said to her on the phone, "Fanxi, I have to go on a business trip. Can you come with me?"
Shen Sangsang frowned when she heard this, then asked, "A business trip? A trip?"
She was a little puzzled.
"Yes, I'm being transferred to a branch. The group has a project next to the branch, and the management sent me there to manage that hotel. It's a good opportunity for you to come with me and learn. You'll need to deal with this kind of situation in the future, too."
In fact, it didn’t matter where Shen Sangsang stayed. She didn’t ask any more questions and replied directly: “Okay, are you going there today?”
Chen Lili replied: "Yes, get ready."
"OK."
After Shen Sangsang hung up the phone with Chen Lili, she thought to herself, well, go somewhere else and avoid Zhou Shiran's entanglement.
Although she was not sure whether he would come to see her again.
In order to avoid having to come back again, Shen Sangsang packed her things before going to the hotel so that she could leave with Chen Lili.
She didn't have much stuff, just a simple bag, and no other big or small bags.
When she appeared in the hotel lounge, Shen Sangsang was already waiting for her. After seeing that she had packed all her things, she said without saying much, "Let's go."
Shen Sangsang responded and followed her.
She currently didn't know where the branch was, so she just followed Chen Lili.
When she walked into the lobby, she found that she was not the only one who was transferred to the branch. Chen Lili also brought a few other colleagues with her.
Several colleagues were familiar with Shen Sangsang, and some of them greeted Shen Sangsang.
Chen Sangsang did greet each other. She had never been too close to her colleagues before, so when the other party greeted her, she naturally smiled back politely.
After that, everyone got on the bus without much conversation.
After getting in the car, Shen Sangsang chose a seat by the window and the others also chose their seats.
Everyone was very busy in the car, getting familiar with the situation of the hotel over there.
Shen Sangsang is quite free. After all, she is still studying at the grassroots level and is unable to handle some of the current urgent work.
She can only be considered half a hotel waitress now.
Perhaps because she didn't sleep much last night, Shen Sangsang closed her eyes, leaned her head against the window, and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept. When she opened her eyes, the car was still driving on the highway. She looked over and found that the manager Chen Lili was sitting next to her drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
It was rare for Shen Sangsang to see her idle, so she looked at her for a long time.
Chen Lili didn't look at her, but asked her, "Are you awake?"
Shen Sangsang smiled slightly: "Yeah, I'm awake." She thought for a moment, then asked: "Where are we going now?"
"City B."
"City B?"
Shen Sangsang’s face was full of surprise.
"Do you think it's far?" Chen Lili glanced at her sideways.
It takes a full eight hours to drive from Nancheng to City B, which is a coastal city and is indeed quite far away.
Shen Sangsang said, “Yes, there are some.”
"We have a lot of things to do in this position, and the situation is different this time. All the big bosses will be there for this group project."
When Shen Sangsang heard the word "big boss", her body stiffened slightly, and then her eyes fixed on Chen Lili's face.
Chen Lili saw that her face was completely stiff, so she asked, "Why do you have that expression?"
Shen Sangsang reacted and said, “Nothing.”
She tried her best not to show any abnormality on her face.
Chen Lili saw the strange expression on her face, but it was only a fleeting one before she returned to normal. So she continued, "So this mission is not easy. You have to be careful and don't make any more stupid mistakes."
"Okay, I understand, Manager Chen."
Shen Sangsang replied seriously, she knew that Chen Lili was really taking care of her.
But what she was thinking about was something else. Would Shen Yuehuai go there too?
Naturally, there was no answer to this question in her mind.
Then she looked out the window.
…
The car drove for a full eight hours, and after eight hours, we arrived at the coastal city.
This coastal city is one of the most popular tourist cities in the country. Here, land is extremely valuable, not to mention staying in a hotel.
The Caspian Hotel is the city's top hotel, located in the shallow bay area, close to the sea and scenic spots.
It's hard to say whether the weather here is comfortable or uncomfortable. When Shen Sangsang got out of the car and left the area covered by the cold air, she felt extremely stuffy.
After getting off the bus, they each returned to the employee living area.
