Where do you want to go for New Year's Eve?

Lin Shen noticed Xia Wenxi's embarrassment and naturally changed the subject.

Hearing this, Xia Wenxi remembered, "Sister Minghuan gave me two tickets to the New Year's Eve performance that night. Let's go together. My parents and Xia Wensheng will also be there. We can leave together after the performance."

Xia Wenxi then told Lin Shen that after the performance that night, Xia Wensheng and Minghuan's parents would definitely want to have some alone time, and they would make their own plans after watching the performance.

"Okay, then I'll leave work early that night and pick you up."

"Need not."

Xia Wenxi wanted to say that it was unnecessary to go through the trouble of picking her up after get off work, since her parents were going too, and she could just go with them. However, she didn't say the words aloud, but another idea popped into her mind.

"It's too much trouble for you to pick me up. I'll just wait for you downstairs at your company. I can just come over after you get off work."

Xia Wenxi suddenly realized that Lin Shen always picked her up, so this time she should go pick him up instead.

"Alright."

After Lin Shen nodded in agreement, he continued, "But since you're here, wouldn't you like to come and visit my office?"

Xia Wenxi felt tired from holding her phone up for so long, so she simply lay down on the bed with her phone next to her pillow.

"But you're working, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go."

Lin Shen looked at the girl resting her chin on her hand on the screen and thought of what she had said earlier that day.

I wish I had a phone with a touch screen.

"It won't be bad, I want you to come."

"Hmm... In that case, I agree. You can wait to receive me then."

...

December 31st.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Wenxi told her parents that she would see them at the concert hall that evening, and then went out.

Since the car wasn't belonging to a Lin family employee, it couldn't enter the underground parking lot. Xia Wenxi had the driver stop at the entrance and then let him go back first.

She had told Lin Shen when they were almost there that she just needed to wait for him to send someone to take her up.

As soon as Xia Wenxi entered through the revolving door, she saw Lin Shen walking over from the elevator.

Lin Shen nodded to the receptionist who greeted him, then stepped forward with a smile, took Xia Wenxi's hand, and took the things from her hands with his other hand.

Xia Wenxi was led by him towards the elevator. When they reached the elevator door, she asked, "Why are you coming down?"

Lin Shen smiled and asked her, "My girlfriend is here, shouldn't I be the one coming down?"

Then he glanced at the thing in his hand, "What is this?"

"Aunt Li made dumplings today, which were originally meant for dinner, but after she knew I was coming to see you, she cooked some for me so we could eat together."

"Thank you, Wenxi, and thank you, Aunt Li."

As soon as Xia Wenxi entered the office and closed the door, before she could even see what Lin Shen's office looked like, a shadow fell over her.

The next second, Xia Wenxi lost all interest in anything else; her attention was completely captivated by the sensation on her lips.

It was ten minutes later when they sat down on the sofa to eat dumplings. Lin Shen was still holding the insulated lunchbox in his hand and could only use his left hand to stroke Xia Wenxi's left cheek.

When Xia Wenxi sat down, she still felt that the two sides of her face were different temperatures.

Aunt Li cooked more than thirty dumplings for the two of them and thoughtfully prepared dipping sauces.

Xia Wenxi suggested, "The concert starts at eight o'clock in the evening. Since we've finished eating dumplings, we don't need to eat dinner. Why don't we go get a late-night snack after the show?"

She checked the time; it was fifteen minutes to five. "That way, Mr. Lin won't have to leave work early."

The normal closing time is 6 pm, so they don't need to go out for dinner. Therefore, it's perfectly fine for them to go to the concert hall at the normal time.

That's right.

Xia Wenxi could tell that Lin Shen seemed quite regretful about not being able to leave work early.

In response, Lin Shen said, "After all, going to work is definitely not an enjoyable experience."

If he could, he wouldn't really want to go to work.

Lin Shen's troubled look amused Xia Wenxi. "Even the CEO doesn't want to go to work, so it's perfectly normal for ordinary workers not to want to go to work either."

"Well, actually I'm just a working person too."

Lin Shen told Xia Wenxi that as the president, he actually received a fixed salary every month, and that most of the shares of the Lin Group were still in the hands of his father.

Although Lin Shuyu is no longer with the company, and is no longer even in Fan City, he has gradually withdrawn from the company's operations since he mentored Lin Shenjin. However, even so, he still firmly holds onto his shares, including some other assets of the Lin family.

Lin Shen was merely someone he had trained to work for him; as for his other children, they didn't even have the opportunity to "work."

Xia Wenxi stopped eating in surprise and asked Lin Shen how much his monthly salary was.

After listening in silence for a long while, she patted Lin Shen's thigh and said in a deep voice, "Little Lin, if you don't want to do this anymore in the future, come with me, I can support you."

Xia Wenxi never imagined that she was now richer than Lin Shen!

"Okay, then I'll do your laundry, cook for you, and warm your bed for you from now on."

...

There were over thirty dumplings. Xia Wenxi ate about ten, and Lin Shen ate the rest. The two chatted as they ate, and it was almost time to get off work when they finished.

It takes about an hour to get from the company to the concert hall, so they weren't in a hurry to leave now.

"By the way, Hengyuan is having its annual meeting in mid-January, is your company doing something similar?"

Xia Wenxi took over Lin Shen's office chair and sat behind the desk, while the original owner of the chair stood in front of the desk, looking as if he was reporting to her.

"Yes, that's about the right time. By the end of the month, many employees will be going on their annual holiday, so we need to hold the annual meeting before the middle of the month."

Lin Shen then asked Xia Wenxi if she wanted to attend their company's annual meeting.

"Me? Attending your company's annual meeting? That's not appropriate, is it? If I come, what would my status be?"

Lin Shen maintained a serious posture, and the words he spoke were also serious.

"The Lin family and Hengyuan will have more cooperative projects next year. As a major shareholder of a sister company, it is very appropriate for me to attend the Lin family's annual meeting."

Xia Wenxi was about to make a joke when she saw Lin Shen lean down, his hand on the desk, and get closer to her. "He also has another identity: the president's girlfriend."

Xia Wenxi looked at Lin Shen, then at herself, and felt that something was wrong with her current posture.

Isn't it reversed?

However, the experience was quite good. Xia Wenxi picked up her pen and lifted Lin Shen's chin.

"Xiao Lin, let me think about it."
