After returning from the Gu family, Shen Beian felt that there seemed to be some changes between the two of them, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what those changes were.

"An'an, there's a small auction after the bidding, and a dance party is arranged at Yuxuan Pavilion after it's over. Do you want to go?" That morning, after exercising and washing up, Gu Nanyan and Shen Bei'an sat down at the dining table to have breakfast.

Shen Beian chewed on shumai while drinking pumpkin and white fungus porridge with a small spoon in his other hand.

"What bidding meeting?" As a typical lazy bum, Shen Beian knew nothing about these things.

Sometimes, Shen Beian felt like he was Gu Nanyan's beloved concubine hidden away in a golden nest.

Thinking about it, he really is pretty much the same. He has Gu Nanyan's unlimited supplementary card in his hand, and every day after getting out of bed, besides doing some simple exercise, he's thinking about how to have fun and where to go.

Ugh, so frustrating.

Gu Nanyan wasn't surprised. Shen Bei'an did major in finance at university, but later it was discovered that he had inexplicable bad luck in it. Since the two of them were going to get married, he left everything to Gu Nanyan.

"After the bidding for the fourth generation of cell repair devices, there will be a small auction," Gu Nanyan explained in detail. "The bidding might be quite boring. If you are interested in the auction, you can go to my private room first, browse around and bid on anything you like. As for the ball, it depends on whether you are interested in it or not."

As she spoke, she placed the peeled eggs on Shen Bei'an's small plate.

Shen Bei'an looked at the eggs, not really wanting to eat them...

I promptly picked up another shumai. Mmm, Aunt Wang's shumai is really delicious.

How did the original book describe this bidding meeting?

The original owner didn't attend, it seems she didn't even attend the auction, as she appeared to be traveling in Europe at that time.

She naturally did not attend the subsequent dance.

In the original book, it seems that the female protagonist's company also attended the bidding event.

"Let's go!" Shen Bei'an had participated in many bidding events in real life, and even wrote many proposals. Just going to watch would seem quite fun.

"But you've already arranged the candidates, can I go?"

Gu Nanyan pushed the small dish of eggs toward Shen Bei'an, "Of course it's fine. I'm not the person in charge of the bidding meeting; I'm just an observer."

"Don't tell me it's still Meng Zhaojun." The first person that came to Shen Bei'an's mind was Meng Zhaojun. Suddenly, he felt that Meng Zhaojun was very busy.

“It’s not Zhaojun either,” Gu Nanyan looked at Shen Bei’an with a helpless expression. “An’an, in your heart am I a heartless capitalist who only knows how to exploit his assistant?”

Shen Beian chuckled twice. Isn't that how it is in many novels?

Special Assistant, Special Assistant

Why can he earn such a high annual salary? It's because he does all sorts of things around the president.

Although Shen Bei'an didn't know Meng Zhaojun's annual salary, based on what he knew about the annual salaries of ordinary employees in the Gu Group, Meng Zhaojun's annual salary must be very high.

After all, we're just working people; as long as the money is right, everything is negotiable.

"No, how could that be?" Shen Bei'an blinked. "Isn't Meng Zhaojun the only one I know around you?"

He truly only knew Meng Zhaojun.

If the original owner of this body was a minor villain with a decent number of appearances, then Gu Nanyan was a completely insignificant supporting character with even fewer appearances.

Not to mention the people around Gu Nanyan.

"If you want to get to know me, I'll have them come and meet you another day." Gu Nanyan raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Then, no need for that." Shen Bei'an waved his hand repeatedly. "We'll talk about it when we meet." He didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Gu Nanyan had to persuade Gu Nanyan to eat the last egg.

Gu Nanyan did not go directly to the company, but instead went to the wardrobe room with Shen Beian.

"But you've already prepared all the clothes, right?" Shen Bei'an indicated that he was too lazy to even put together an outfit, since he usually had a professional designer to arrange his clothes.

"Yes, everything is arranged. A handmade suit and a light purple silk robe with a stand-up collar and wide sleeves and cloud pattern. Which one would you like to wear?" He opened one of the doors, revealing four sets of clothes hanging inside.
