Chapter 131 Inviting You

Chen Congyu was not very happy about the arrangements made by her superiors and the fact that she was able to participate in a new project just two or three months after joining the company.

Because this opportunity was gained by stepping on the tragic experience of the team leader.

Especially her husband, who was doing this for a woman outside, which made Shen Congyu unable to help but put herself in his shoes.

For two days in a row, Chen Congyu was absent-minded.

Therefore, after returning to the magazine from visiting the team leader in the hospital, she felt as heavy as a huge stone when she heard the arrangements made by her leader.

There were some changes in her work. Chen Congyu followed two seniors to the scene to shoot and interview a male star. Her current job was to move wherever there was a shortage of people. She had previously handled almost all the news releases about people's livelihood. This was her first time to come into contact with the entertainment sector.

After the filming was completed and before the interview began, the male star was resting in the lounge. Shen Congyu went to deliver the interview manuscript. When he was about to leave, someone else knocked on the door.

The person she met at the door was none other than Duan Ke.

Duan Ke's outfit was different from her usual one. Today she was wearing a formal business suit, a square scarf around her neck, high heels, and even her smile was a standard one.

But she also unexpectedly met Chen Congyu here.

Surprise flashed across his face, and there was no time to communicate. Chen Congyu turned sideways first, nodded to Duan Ke, and let her in.

There was a girl following behind her, who looked like an assistant or something.

The door of the lounge closed, and Chen Congyu did not linger and returned to their rest room.

When the interview was about to start, Shen Congyu and two seniors went over. After waiting for two minutes, Duan Ke came out with his assistant.

Duan Ke saw Chen Congyu, said a few words to the assistant, and then called Chen Congyu's name.

"What a coincidence that you're all here. I heard you're here for an interview. How about we have lunch together after you're done?"

Duan Ke added with a smile: "It's just the two of us in the restaurant downstairs. It won't keep you too long."

Chen Congyu looked at her senior, ready to use this as an excuse to refuse, but the senior thought they were friends and said caringly: "You guys go, we can finish this in an hour, and you can go back to the company later in the afternoon."

Now Shen Congyu had no reason to refuse.

She looked at Duan Ke and nodded in agreement.

The Duan family is in the tourism industry. Duan Ke came today because the Duan family has a newly developed tourist attraction that is about to open, and they want to invite some celebrities to record a holiday variety show to advertise it. Today's male star is in their plan.

This was the first time that Chen Congyu met Duan Ke at work. She looked like a very professional and capable person. The male star even talked to Shen Congyu and asked her if she knew Duan Ke.

It looked like they had a good chat.

After the interview, Chen Congyu spent ten minutes wrapping up, then separated from the two seniors downstairs and went to the restaurant he had agreed to meet with Duan Ke.

Duan Ke's assistant was not there, so it was just the two of them.

"Come, take a look at the menu and see what you want to eat."

Chen Congyu took it and thanked him.

Duan Ke said, "Last time, after I heard that you and Hu Zi had made things clear, I've been wanting to find an opportunity to talk to you again. It was Xilin who told me that I shouldn't have taken the initiative to introduce Hu Zi to you. I thought about it and realized that I was a bit reckless for not asking for your opinion first."

When Jiang Xilin's name came out of her mouth, Shen Congyu almost reflexively focused.

After ordering the dishes, Shen Congyu said quietly: "It's nothing, Hu Zi and I knew each other before."

"Yes, that's why I neglected to tell you first. I hope it didn't affect you and Hu Zi."

"Not really. He's a very nice guy. It's more appropriate for us to be friends."

Duan Ke smiled and said, "What kind of men do you like? If I happen to have a suitable one around me, I can introduce you to one."

Chen Congyu: "I'm busy with work right now and don't want to have a relationship for the time being. Thank you for your kindness."

"Really? You don't have to be polite with me."

When she said these words, her tone was so natural as if Chen Congyu was really her good friend, and it seemed that she was narrow-minded because Chen Congyu was always on guard.

Chen Congyu adjusted his mentality and said, "Really, I don't have any thoughts on this right now."

"Well, I won't force you. You can tell me if you have anything interesting to say in the future."

When the dishes came, Chen Congyu was actually not very hungry. She just ordered one dish, thinking that she could finish early so that she could go back and organize today's interview manuscript.

She was distracted for a moment and her gaze unintentionally lingered on Duan Ke's face for a few seconds. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He actually sat down to eat with Duan Ke in harmony.

Chen Congyu felt sarcastic in her heart, and couldn't help wondering if Duan Ke would regret inviting her if he knew about her and Jiang Xilin in the future.

While daydreaming, Duan Ke suddenly remembered something and said, "I don't know if you've heard, but Xilin and I are getting engaged."

Chen Congyu's fingers holding the chopsticks stiffened a little, but fortunately it was not easy to notice.

She raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Really? Congratulations."

"I will definitely send you an invitation when the time comes. No, Xilin should give it to you, right? You must come."

Chen Congyu had heard this news from Xue Mingrui last time. Now that it came from the person involved, it must have been confirmed.

Shen Congyu smiled and said, "Okay."

After having dinner with Duan Ke, Duan Ke offered to take Shen Congyu back to the magazine, but Shen Congyu refused.

She took a taxi back and quickly got back to work.

Just before getting off work, Yuan An received a message asking her to go to Jinghu Lake in the evening.

Chen Congyu looked at this sentence expressionlessly, moved his fingers and replied: [I have to work overtime, and it will take a long time to finish the work. I am afraid I can't go today. ]

She knew clearly that Jiang Xilin would see the truth behind the original case and would not believe her so easily, so she took the initiative to explain that their team leader had an accident and now the workload of their entire team had increased.

Having said that, there really wasn't anything else said after the original case.

Shen Congyu did have a lot of work on her hands, but she really didn't want to face Jiang Xilin for the time being.

She originally wanted to wait and see when Jiang Xilin would tell her that he was going to get engaged to Duan Ke, but now it seems that she can no longer be so passive.

Chen Congyu worked overtime for three days and had one day off. She planned to have a good rest at home. She refused Wen Song's invitation to go shopping.

In the afternoon, Yuan An said again that Jiang Xilin would stop by her place in the evening.

Chen Congyuzhuang can't see it.

Two hours later, he replied: [Sorry, I'm off today and going to a friend's house for dinner tonight.]

In fact, she just ate something casually in the evening, washed up early, turned off the lights and lay on the bed to watch a movie. Even if Jiang Xilin came, he would not see the lights on in her house.

As expected, Jiang Xilin did not come that night.

Chen Congyu made excuses like this to hide for a week, and finally on Friday when he got off work, he was blocked at the door of the magazine by Yuan An's car.

The moment she saw him, Shen Congyu guessed that Jiang Xilin might be in the car. She didn't let Yuan An call her and got into the car neatly.
