Chapter 16 Chapter 16 is given to you and your boyfriend by Mr. Shen...

Shen Yanfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Guan Mi at this moment, as if he had discovered something new.

This was the first time I saw such undisguised emotion on her face, and I actually found it quite interesting.

Even feeling...pleasure?

His hand slid upwards a little and circled her forearm through the fabric of her clothes.

Thinking about how he had made her wrist red without much force last night, he reduced his strength a little, not wanting to hurt her but not letting her pull away easily, and firmly controlled that slender part in his palm.

He lowered his eyes, and in a cheerful tone, he said, "Secretary Guan, light a cigarette."

Guan Mi tightly gripped the lighter, and a hint of anger clearly flashed across her eyes, which always kept a businesslike look, but she quickly suppressed it.

She didn't struggle anymore, because Shen Yanfeng's eyes told her that it was all in vain.

She had never thought about resigning in the past three years. At this moment, the idea was so strong that it almost broke through her tense mind.

She held the lighter upright, pushed the lid open with her thumb, and with a soft "click", a faint blue flame ignited between the two of them.

She just held it there, motionless, her cold eyes staring back at him, as if in silent confrontation.

However, seeing her stubbornness yet her resignation, Shen Yanfeng's eyes grew more interested, and he couldn't soften his heart and let her go.

The hand holding her forearm pulled hard.

Guan Mi was caught off guard and staggered forward half a step, only half a fist away from Shen Yanfeng. She was so close that she could see the brown teardrop mole under his left eye, and his breath almost burned her cheek.

She couldn't stand it any longer. "Boss Shen, please don't go too far! I'm just your secretary. There should be a basic sense of boundaries between us. I have a boyfriend, and you have a fiancée!"

Boyfriend, fiancée, these two words pierced Shen Yanfeng's eardrums like needles, causing his eyebrows to jump suddenly.

Instead of retreating, he moved closer, his gaze fixed on her. The corners of his lips curled up in an almost vicious arc, and he said in a gentle tone: "Guan Mi, forget about a sense of boundaries, I may not even have a sense of morality."

Guan Mi looked at the completely unfamiliar man in front of him, his eyes red with anger, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Light a cigarette." He said lightly.

The cigarette was put back into his lips, and he slowly lowered his head, moving closer to the flame she was still holding, with the end of the cigarette precisely touching the flame.

Then he straightened up, without whipping her, and turned toward the street.

The aggressive aura that had trapped Guan Mi suddenly withdrew, and a sense of security returned to her stiff limbs.

"What do you think I'm going to do to you in the street?"

Chen Yanfeng's words received no response. He blew out a puff of smoke and turned his head to look. Guan Mi had already walked back. When she walked up the stairs, she raised her hand and put the phone to her ear.

He raised his lips and sneered, staring at her back and taking a deep puff of cigarette.

I can still remember to make a phone call.

Really good.

At this time, a blonde woman got out of the car that had just parked on the side of the road and pointed at the card at Shen Yanfeng's feet, "Hey, your room card fell."

The man in the passenger seat also got out and naturally embraced the woman, and they passed by Shen Yanfeng together.

The man raised an eyebrow and said, "Dude, I'm going to have a good night tonight, and I hope you have a good night too."

Chen Yanfeng chuckled when he heard this, took off his cigarette, glanced at the room card at his feet, and said in a lazy voice: "Maybe?"

No matter how hard Guan Mi tried to hide it, Wen Li still heard something wrong in her voice.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Guan Mi walked into the elevator and pressed the door-closing button several times. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the door completely closed.

She shook her sweaty hands and forced herself to calm down: "I just ran a little. Go to sleep soon, and don't wait for me like this in the future."

"Are you still with Shen Yanfeng tonight?" Wen Li suddenly asked.

Guan Mi: "Well, there is an unexpected dinner party tonight."

"Have you reached the room yet?"

The elevator door opened and she walked quickly towards the room.

"We're here, go to sleep." She felt her pockets, but they were empty. Her brows knitted together, and she said goodnight to Wen Li in a normal tone, then began to think about where her room card was.

Did it fall when I was picking up the lighter?

The more I think about it, the more I think so.

Should she go back and look for him? Or ask room service for help? She didn't know if Chen Yanfeng was still there smoking.

At least tonight, she didn't want to see this person again.

After hesitating for a while, Guan Mi walked towards the elevator with his cell phone in hand.

But before I took a few steps, I heard a clear "ding" sound from the elevator, and it seemed to have stopped at this floor.

Her heart skipped a beat and her steps stopped unconsciously, secretly hoping that the person who appeared was not Shen Yanfeng.

The next second, Shen Yanfeng's figure came into view. He walked closer step by step, his leather shoes making almost no sound on the carpet, his expression gentle and calm.

Guan Mi felt a chill in her heart and stepped back involuntarily. She took small steps at a time and soon stopped at the door.

Shen Yanfeng came in front of her, but not too close. The light from the corridor lamp was blocked by his figure, and a shadow fell on her.

She pursed her lips and looked at him expressionlessly.

Chen Yanfeng lowered his eyes, "Were you talking to your boyfriend on the phone just now?"

"right."

Hearing her answer without hesitation, Shen Yanfeng's expression did not change. He looked at the floor silently for two seconds, and the corners of his mouth curled up very slightly.

At this time, a couple walked out of the elevator. They were snuggling together and looking at us ambiguously as they walked.

Guan Mi felt a surge of shame and anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and looked back at Shen Yanfeng, "Boss Shen, after the business trip, I plan to resign."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise. It was the sound of a door closing in a room, and then there was only deathly silence in the corridor.

Chen Yanfeng raised his hand, and Guan Mi shrank her neck reflexively, but he just stuffed the room card into her hand, and then said in that low and steady voice that could not be heard of emotion: "Go back, sort out your mood, you still have to work tomorrow."

These words seemed to be reminding Guan Mi that work is work and what happened just now is what happened just now, they should be separated and not mixed up.

Another more direct meaning: Don’t even think about quitting.

Guan Mi slept extremely uneasily that night, always worried about what Shen Yanfeng would do tomorrow.

She felt that this man now seemed to have a dual personality. He used to be cold and gentle. She respected him, even admired him, and believed from the bottom of her heart that he was an extremely outstanding businessman.

But now he seems like a different person. Sometimes he still looks the same as before, and sometimes he makes people feel dangerous and unpredictable.

When Guan Mi woke up in the morning, she was covered in cold sweat. Seeing that there was still enough time, she quickly took a shower.

After taking a shower with hot water, I felt much more awake.

She realized belatedly that she might have been too impulsive to resign last night.

Maybe Shen Yanfeng just thought it was fun and used teasing her as entertainment. Maybe after a while, he would go back to the way he was before.

What's more, even if she really wants to quit, she has to find another job first.

She didn't order room service and planned to go to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. When she opened the door, a waiter with a food cart was standing at the door opposite her, and she was pressing the doorbell.

The waitress turned her head and saw Guan Mi, as if she saw a savior. She knew that she was Shen Yanfeng's secretary.

“Miss Guan, is Mr. Shen in the room?”

Guan Mi raised his wrist to check the time, "Yes, he has woken up."

I saw him scolding someone in the executive group ten minutes ago.

The waiter was a little embarrassed: "But I rang the doorbell three times and no one answered."

Guan Mi took out his cell phone and dialed Shen Yanfeng's number. The door opened before the beep sounded twice.

Shen Yanfeng appeared at the door in a black suit, tall and straight, with his hand raised to put on his watch, and the fresh breath of the morning was all over his body.

Like just coming out of the room.

"Mr. Shen, good morning." Guan Mi said.

Shen Yanfeng nodded slightly, stepped aside to let the waiter in, and turned to walk into the living room.

Guan Mi took out a tablet from her bag. There was a very important contract that required Shen Yanfeng to confirm before 2:30 p.m. local time.

After she went in, she helped the waiter to place the meals. Seeing that the Cantonese dim sum was almost filling up the table, Guan Mi couldn't help but wonder why Chen Yanfeng ordered so much and whether he could finish it.

After the waiter left, she walked over to the man washing his hands at the bar, handed him the tablet, and explained her purpose.

Shen Yanfeng took the tablet in his hand but didn't check it immediately.

He sat down at the dining table and suddenly heard a voice.

The sound came from the corridor outside.

The door is not closed.

When serving the meal just now, Guan Mi specifically and quietly told the waiter not to close the door tightly.

Shen Yanfeng was silent for a moment, then understood.

Are you on guard against him?

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Guan Mi, with a hint of a smile on his lips. "Sit down, let's talk about business after breakfast."

“I eat…”

"You haven't eaten yet." He interrupted her, "Isn't it urgent? Finish eating soon so I can read the contract sooner."

Guan Mi stared at the plate of black bean sauce chicken feet on the table and actually had the urge to slap it on Shen Yanfeng's face.

She sat down opposite him and waited for him to pick up his chopsticks before she began to eat in silence.

Shen Yanfeng shook the white wine glass in his hand and watched her eat quickly. "Contact Gao Qi. I want to meet with her alone after returning home."

Guan Mi swallowed the sausage in his mouth and said, "Okay."

This is the right thing to do.

He has a fiancée, and instead of having fun with her, he might as well spend more time on Gao Qi.

Just before noon, the group boarded a flight to Marseille.

It was just after one o'clock when we landed at Marseille Provence Airport, and Chris arranged an authentic French meal for us.

After lunch, we headed to the center of Marseille. Arriving at the Old Port, we were greeted by the Mediterranean scenery.

The ancient port is filled with white private yachts and fishing boats, and there are many fishermen on the streets shouting and selling seafood that has just been caught.

People can be seen sitting on the shore everywhere, drinking and chatting leisurely. The sunshine is so strong that people feel lazy after being basked in the sun.

Guan Mi silently took note of this city and decided to visit it with Wen Li if he had the chance in the future.

Chris pointed to the Basilica of Our Lady of Protection on the mountain opposite and introduced the history of this place to Shen Yanfeng.

They walked along the beach, feeling the unique atmosphere there, and began to discuss which angles were suitable for taking pictures.

After visiting the port, the entire team shuttled through the narrow alleys of the old town of Le Panier, where several photographers and directors were busy with their own work.

Guan Mi held a detailed location scouting manual and schedule in his hand, taking notes as he walked.

She didn't always follow Shen Yanfeng, but occasionally lagged behind a few steps and discussed the local weather changes with Chris.

Chris started joking around after just a few words and always wanted to ask her out for dinner alone.

As she wrote something, she casually said, "If you agree to be my tour guide when my boyfriend and I visit here, perhaps I might consider having dinner with you tonight."

Chris was unsteady, clutching his chest. "It hurts so much. You actually took advantage of me. But you guys want to come here for a trip? When? Is it the day off after the business trip you told me about yesterday?"

Not far ahead, the man walking in the middle paused.

Others were also disturbed by Chris's voice and turned to look.

Guan Mi consciously whispered: "No, let's wait until later."

At this moment, a female voice came from behind, "Chris! OMG, I actually met you here!"

When I turned around, I saw a Latina beauty as bright as the summer sun. She had thick dark brown curly hair that was casually draped over her shoulders.

She was waving exaggeratedly.

"Long time no see." Chris walked up to the woman and hugged her naturally.

The woman hugged his waist and said, "Do you know how much I missed you after we broke up?"

It turned out to be an ex-relationship.

Guan Mi didn't stay for long, and quickly caught up with the team and came to Shen Yanfeng's side.

He was talking to the director when he suddenly turned around. Although he was wearing sunglasses, Guan Mi could feel him glance at him.

She hugged the things in her arms tightly and asked softly: "Mr. Shen, are you thirsty?"

Shen Yanfeng's expression was cold: "Thirsty."

Guan Mi was also thirsty, so he turned around and looked for the staff member who was responsible for fetching water.

Not found.

Just as I was thinking about going to the nearby store to buy something, something touched my shoulder.

She turned back and saw Shen Yanfeng holding a bottle of steaming iced drink.

He was holding another bottle in his left hand. Guan Mi realized it was for her and quickly took it.

"Where have you been thinking about?" As she was unscrewing the bottle cap, Shen Yanfeng's indifferent voice fell from above her head.

…

What's wrong with her?

Although it was a little baffling, her professionalism made her apologize immediately: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I shouldn't have been distracted."

After a day's work, Guan Mi rejected Chris's suggestion to go out for a drink with her, and bought a bottle of beer at a convenience store and drank it back at the hotel.

Chen Yanfeng had some private matters tonight, so someone came to pick him up after the dinner. The people sitting in that cool sports car should be Dai Rou and Liao Yihai.

She only hoped that Shen Yanfeng would come back on time tomorrow.

After taking a shower, she sat on the sofa drinking beer when her cell phone rang. It was a text message from the bank reminding her that money had arrived.

I got my salary around nine o'clock this morning, and the finance department said the bonus will be paid later.

She clicked on the message and glanced at the amount, her eyes suddenly widening.

This time the prize money is twice as much as last time!

[Have you received the bonus?]

The person who sent the WeChat message was Ms. Sun, the financial director.

Guan Mi replied: [I got it, but why is it so much more? (laughing) I don’t mean to complain about the money.]

Sister Sun: [You've been busy with Mr. Shen for the last two months on that Gangcheng project. I have to reward you well.]

Guan Mi was in such a good mood that he lay down on the sofa with his phone in his arms, repeatedly looking at the balance in his bank card and couldn't help laughing.

She opened the memo and began to plan how to use the bonus.

Part of it was left to Guan Tang, and part of it was deposited into the card for paying off debts... Speaking of this, the smile on Guan Mi's lips slowly disappeared.

This debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars was not owed by her parents.

Guan Mi has a younger uncle who is almost seven years younger than her mother. Three years ago, he killed someone in a car accident. Afterwards, he committed suicide because he felt too guilty and was under tremendous psychological pressure.

The deceased was a farmhand who had been riding his bicycle from his village to the city to look for work. He was the breadwinner of his family and left behind his parents, who were unable to work, and a two-year-old daughter.

My uncle never got married in his life and didn't leave much inheritance.

According to the law, if the infringer dies and his estate is not sufficient to pay off the debt, the obligation to pay compensation will automatically terminate.

In other words, once my uncle passed away, the compensation was legally gone.

But after that, the family of the deceased started taking their two-year-old child to school and crying at Guan's door every day.

Guan's father and mother are people with strong sense of morality. After discussing it, the family was willing to bear half of the compensation.

The salary of an ordinary primary school teacher in a small county town is not that high, so Guan Mi did not stand on Guan's mother's side and stop Guan's father from going to work in the city.

After regaining his composure, Guan Mi put his phone aside and stared at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.

The Wen family probably doesn't know about her uncle's affair. If they knew, I don't know how they would react.

bite--

The phone rang again.

Guan Mi took it and looked at it.

This time it was a message from the HR manager.

[Secretary Guan, your leave application was not approved.]

She frowned and sat up from the sofa.

[Brother Chen, can you tell me the reason? Mr. Shen agreed to this earlier.]

The big boss has approved it, so who else could be stuck?

Brother Chen: [Special Assistant Liu is still on leave. If you take your leave too, there will be no one around President Shen. Although the CEO's office has many people, everyone has their own responsibilities and their own ways of doing things. If you're not here, who will follow up on all the matters regarding President Shen's affairs?]

Guan Mi's typing hand paused.

[Brother Chen, Mr. Shen is aware of all this, but he has indeed allowed me to take leave.]

It's not like Chen Yanfeng can't take care of himself without Guan Mi. She can just keep her phone line open and contact him anytime if there is anything.

If she can't take this leave, many plans will be messed up. Wen Li's leave has been approved, and Wen's parents also know that she will come to see her after her business trip.

Brother Chen: [Secretary Guan, please don't make things difficult for me. I really can't approve this leave. Otherwise, why don't you wait until Special Assistant Liu comes back? Even if you don't want to take leave by then, I'll chase you and approve it.]

Special Assistant Liu took a four-month leave, and it was already winter when he came back.

Guan Mi grabbed a handful of hair and clicked on Shen Yanfeng’s WeChat.

Or ask him?

Wouldn’t that be too rash?

But if I don't ask, there will probably be no room for maneuver regarding the vacation.

She steeled herself, and as if to muster up some courage, she grabbed the beer and drank it all.

The cold liquid slid down her throat, and suddenly she shuddered.

Could it be that the obstruction from the HR department was Shen Yanfeng's intention?

This thought made Guan Mi suddenly crush the can. A chill ran up his spine and a dense layer of bumps suddenly appeared on his skin.

Just because she talked back to him last night?

"Brother Chen, did Mr. Shen reject it?" she asked.

Brother Chen just replied with an expression.

Guan Mi thought it was quite intriguing.

Okay, it’s Shen Yanfeng.

Guan Mi went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came back he sent a WeChat message to Wen Li.

[(crying) My leave application was rejected, so I probably won’t be able to go on this trip.]

It is almost two o'clock in the morning in China now. Wen Li wrote materials until around eleven o'clock and then went to bed.

She threw her phone away and turned over, burying herself in the soft pillow.

The thought of resigning came to my mind again.

But when she thought about the bonus that had just arrived tonight, she felt that compared with the real money, not being able to take a vacation temporarily was nothing.

To be honest, she loves this job from the bottom of her heart. No matter how hard or tiring it was in the past three years, she has never felt the burnout of "hating what she does".

At Fengbo, the rewards are proportional to the effort. There is so much to learn, and there are often opportunities to travel to other places, even abroad on business trips to broaden your horizons.

A person with such a sensitive family background as Shen Yanfeng should always act with basic propriety and decency, and not do anything too extreme.

She just needs to bear with it.

When he woke up the next day, Guan Mi picked up his phone and saw the reply message from Wen Li.

He said it was okay and we could go next time.

It rained today, the sky was gray and there was a chill in the air.

After Guan Mi finished washing up, he contacted Shen Yanfeng and learned that he was about to return to the hotel.

She packed her things and went downstairs to the breakfast buffet.

After picking up the meal, she walked to the window seat with the plate in her hand. She looked up inadvertently and saw a familiar figure across the street.

It was Shen Yanfeng. He was standing by the passenger door of the SUV, casually supporting the door with one hand, leaning over slightly and saying something to the person in the car.

Guan Mi paused and turned to the corner on the other side.

The hotel's breakfast buffet was very rich, and I ordered smoked salmon, French croissants, coffee and fruit.

She took a sip of her coffee and looked at her phone.

Wen Li's reply was too unusual. In the past, he would never just reply to a message and leave it at that.

I guess he was really angry.

“Are you angry?” she asked.

He should have finished his lunch break by now.

Sure enough, he came back soon.

[No, there's nothing you can do about it.]

She replied: [Can your leave be revoked?]

Wen Li: [The process has been completed and the system has recorded it. Reversing it will affect the assessment.]

She: [(sorry)]

Wen Li: [(pats head) If that's the case, then I'll come to Beijing to accompany you. I'll rent a short-term apartment and cook for you every day.]

Guan Mi looked at the last line of words on the screen and felt warm in his heart. He was about to lower his head to type a reply when he suddenly felt the light on the opposite side dim.

She raised her head reflexively and saw Shen Yanfeng holding coffee and a simple meal, and naturally sat down opposite her.

Her grip on the phone tightened, "Boss Shen."

"Um."

He just hummed and said nothing else. He finished his meal and left.

With only a few days left, after visiting several filming cities in southern France, this business trip will be over.

On the day of returning home, it was drizzling in Beijing. Guan Mi first sent several boxes of macarons he had bought to Guan Tang, asking her to give one box to her roommate when the time came.

Guan Mi came back by himself. Shen Yanfeng would not return to China for a few days, so he went directly to Germany to watch the game.

Wen Li came on Saturday.

He found a house near Guan Mi's company that was rented on a daily basis. It was a bit expensive, but the environment was very comfortable.

During the day he would do homework, write materials, do laundry and clean the house at home, and in the evening he would prepare dinner on time and wait for Guan Mi to get off work.

This kind of living state that is almost like living together makes both of them feel a very fresh warmth.

On Sunday, Guan Mi lazily stayed in the rental house all day, while Wen Li was immersed in the real test questions and couldn't stop.

She cooked at noon and made some spicy and delicious Sichuan dishes.

After dinner, the two of them washed the dishes together.

When Guan Mi was woken up from his nap by work news, he opened his eyes and saw Wen Li was already working on the questions.

After replying to the message, she walked behind Wen Li, lay on his back and watched him do the questions, and occasionally massaged his shoulders considerately.

On the day Shen Yanfeng returned, the company was giving each employee a coupon for a seafood buffet for two, worth 1,600 yuan, to celebrate the successful completion of the previous project.

Sister Song's brother-in-law and his wife have been staying at her house recently. She wanted to get one more voucher to make up the number of four, but after asking around during lunch break, no one was willing to transfer it.

After returning from lunch break, Sister Song saw Guan Mi stretching, and thought it would be a waste for her to eat alone with the double meal voucher, so she went to the tea room to make a cup of coffee and brought it to her.

Guan Mi didn't drink the coffee. He looked up at Sister Song with a smile, "You're being so attentive for no reason. Sister Song, just tell me what's going on."

Sister Song also smiled and pointed at the meal voucher under the tablet on the table. "How about selling it to me? It would be a big loss for you to go alone. My brother-in-law and his family are here, so I want to take them along to eat."

"This?" Guan Mi pulled out the voucher and said apologetically, "My boyfriend is here, and I plan to go with him tomorrow."

"You have a boyfriend?" Sister Song opened her eyes wide in surprise. "Aren't you single?"

"What what?" Shanshan came over immediately after hearing the gossip, and several other colleagues also looked over curiously.

Guan Mi quickly made a "hush" sound and glanced towards Shen Yanfeng's office, signaling everyone to be less conspicuous when slacking off.

Sister Song quickly lowered her voice, "I thought Mr. Shen wasn't here. Oh, don't interrupt me. When did you get a boyfriend?"

Shanshan asked sincerely, "Secretary Guan, who's on call 365 days a year, actually still has time for a relationship?"

"We started dating in college," Guan Mi said. "It's been more than four years now."

"No wonder," she said, "you went to college here, right? You're a local?" Sister Song winked. "A handsome, wealthy, second-generation rich kid, right?"

They didn't know Guan Mi's family situation, but they knew her salary was not low, and she was so beautiful, so they guessed that the man's conditions must not be bad.

Guan Mi smiled and said, "He's from Jiangcheng, the same place as me. He's going to take me to meet his parents in a couple of days."

"Really?" Sister Song said with a smile, "Then I wish you all the best."

Shanshan asked excitedly, "What time are you going tomorrow? If you don't mind, please add me and my boyfriend. A buffet needs more people to be lively!"

Guan Mi nodded, "We plan to go tomorrow night, around seven o'clock."

"I want to see him too, but my husband is only free on weekends." Sister Song said regretfully.

Guan Mi raised his wrist to check his watch. "Hurry up and get busy, Sister Song. Remember to organize the actor information selected by Director Huang for me before leaving get off work."

When Sister Song heard this, she immediately put away her gossiping thoughts and went back to her workstation obediently.

Before leaving, Shanshan said, "See you tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. I look forward to meeting your boyfriend~"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, and Shen Yanfeng walked out of the office with a calm expression.

Guan Mi and the guilty Shan Shan spoke at the same time: "Mr. Chen."

The man nodded slightly and left.

"Damn, I was scared to death." Shanshan patted her chest with lingering fear. "Is he in a bad mood today?"

Guan Mi shook his head and did not answer.

What she didn't know was that he seemed to be in a good mood when she and the executives went in for a meeting that morning.

Guan Mi got off work on time on Friday, and the rain started again. It was really a rainy autumn in Beijing.

She planned to go back to her residence to change clothes before going to the restaurant, and let Wen Li wait for her at the rental house.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Shanshan and her boyfriend had already started eating. They had something else to do in the evening so they ate early. Guan Mi and Wen Li found a seat by the window.

After Shanshan had eaten, she pulled her boyfriend over to say hello.

She winked at Guan Mi secretly, silently praised him with her mouth, "Good taste", and then left with satisfaction.

After a while, Wen Li came back with two servings of freshly fried French foie gras. Behind him was a waiter, holding a bottle of red wine carefully in his hands.

It wasn't until the waiter stopped in front of their table that Guan Mi raised his head in confusion and asked Wen Li softly, "Did you order any other drinks?"

Wen Li shook his head slowly, his eyes falling on the wine bottle.

He recognized it as a bottle of Romanee-Conti, which was very expensive, at least over six figures.

The waiter bowed slightly and said politely, "It was given by Mr. Shen. He also asked me to bring a message: [Wish Miss Guan and Mr. Wen a pleasant meal]."

Guan Mi's face froze, and a feeling of discomfort as if he was being spied on and offended quickly spread.

Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

She subconsciously looked at Wen Li across from her, forcing herself to remain calm. "It must be Mr. Shen. He might have given wine to all the employees. After all, the achievement of that project was the result of the entire team working overtime."

Who would believe that? With so many people on the team, she knew how expensive this wine was, so how could she possibly give it to everyone?

Wen Li just smiled, asked the waiter to put down the wine, and didn't say anything more.

It was drizzling outside and a black Bentley was parked on the roadside opposite the restaurant.

Lu Kai just got out of the car to buy a lighter, and when he came back he found that the bottle of Romanee-Conti in the back seat was missing.

"Where's the wine?"

The man in the driver's seat was smoking with the window open, his hand holding the cigarette casually resting on the window frame. His voice was flat and even: "Give it away."

"Who the hell did I give it to?" Lu Kai was a little mad. "I asked you to get this wine tonight just for the game later!"

Chen Yanfeng flicked the ash from his cigarette, his eyes lightly resting on his face for a moment, then looked back at the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant, "Who is worthy of this wine?"

Lu Kai's eyes dodged for a moment, and thinking about the question he might have to answer next, he felt a little guilty and a little excited, "Xu Yao."

Shen Yanfeng asked casually: "Do you have anything else to ask him?"

Lu Kai suppressed his laughter and said, "No, introduce him to Guan Mi."

He thought about it for a long time and felt that people should not be too selfish. After all, Guan Mi was just an ordinary girl. If Shen Yanfeng really had feelings for her, no one would have a good time in the end.

Xu Yao is indeed a good person. His personality is recognized as good in the circle. He studied abroad and returned to China. Most importantly, his parents are open-minded and don’t care much about being well-matched. Their requirement for their daughter-in-law is that she has a clean family background and that their son likes her.

If he could arrange such a good marriage, it would be a good deed for himself.

Hearing this, Shen Yanfeng's eyelids twitched heavily, and he turned sideways and glared at Lu Kai coldly, "Are you sick?"

Lu Kai couldn't help but slap his thigh and laugh, "You're anxious, hahahaha, you're anxious! You're anxious, you're anxious!"

Taking Shen Yanfeng's wine and introducing a date to his secretary, Lu Kai felt that he should not be too good at causing trouble.

Not long after, Lu Kai was ruthlessly kicked out of the car.

The rain suddenly got heavier the moment he closed the car door. He turned around in horror, opened the door and banged on the window, his face covered with rain and tears.

The people in the car are such bastards, they didn't even look at him! At least take an umbrella!

Damn it, this car is still his!!!

Okay, okay, now he has to match Guan Mi and Xu Yao together.

The bottle of red wine remained in its original place and remained untouched. When leaving, Guan Mi found the waiter and asked him to return it to its owner.

She stood at the door holding an umbrella and watching the rain, which was not as heavy as before.

After the rain, it seemed like winter had arrived, and the cold air kept penetrating into her pores. Her coat was a bit thin, but it could at least block some of the wind. Wen Li only wore a short-sleeved shirt.

"Let's go." Wen Li came out, put his arm around Guan Mi, and rubbed her shoulders. "Are you cold?"

"Not bad." She pointed to a place about a hundred meters ahead, "There's a convenience store over there. Go buy your things there first so you don't forget. I'll take a taxi across the street and wait for you."

It’s hard to get a taxi on a rainy day, so she has to go in advance. Anyway, she has an umbrella in her bag.

Wen Li took the umbrella: "Okay."

The Bentley's window rolled down and then rose up again silently.

Shen Yanfeng directly extinguished the cigarette butt with his fingertips. He felt no pain and just stared indifferently at the woman walking towards him.

White long skirt, green jacket.

If the weather was fine at this moment, if he was in a good mood, he might feel that she was like a mint after the rain, with a refreshing scent that made people inexplicably fascinated.

Guan Mi crossed the zebra crossing. Her umbrella was relatively small, and the wind blew the raindrops, lifting the hem of her skirt to one side and catching the cold rain.

She lowered her head, lifted her wet skirt, and walked quickly to the other side.

She originally wanted to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus, but a bus just arrived and there were a lot of people there, so she didn't go and stopped under a big tree next to the platform.

But then he remembered the possibility of thunder, so he immediately moved away from the trees, retreated to the curb next to a black car on the side of the road, took out his cell phone and started to hail a taxi.

Sure enough, there was still a queue, and it was expected to take another ten minutes.

Guan Mi was operating her cell phone while slowly turning the handle of her umbrella. When she heard the sound of a car door closing, she didn't look up, but just thought to herself that there was someone in the car.

It was not until a pair of black leather shoes stepped into her lowered sight without warning that she suddenly stopped turning the umbrella handle.

The umbrella slowly rose following her eyes.
