Chapter 94 A Bright Future
She frowned, her face full of confusion - what was wrong with him?
Why are you suddenly saying this about yourself?
She pondered it over in her mind.
When had I ever let him down?
Has he ever helped her at any critical moment?
I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
Suddenly, a vague fragment of memory flashed through her mind - ah, it was that time when the company was on a business trip and her work plan was accidentally left in the hotel. He helped to retrieve it on the way back.
Perhaps this is what he was talking about.
Shen Yan sighed and admitted in her heart that she did owe him a favor.
But even so, she couldn't compromise her bottom line and agree to become the hero's personal assistant in his private office just because of this little kindness.
A position like that means you'll be asked to do many things that go beyond your boundaries at any time.
She is not one to change her mind easily.
Therefore, he could only put the hat of "repaying kindness with enmity" on her head once.
The Third Master, who had just appeared in a hurry beside the lotus pond with a cold and decisive tone, disappeared in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind.
Shen Yan's heart trembled slightly, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
San Ye usually only focuses on the affairs of the company's senior management and rarely pays attention to the existence of ordinary employees.
And now, he actually came to her house specially and even stopped for her.
This made her truly realize for the first time that she was one of the people who could make the Third Master show up on his own initiative.
What I didn’t expect was that I would be mentioned for promotion to an important position like a personal assistant.
She had never thought that one day she would be close to such a position, but at this moment, she was inexplicably shaken.
On the way back to the company, she happened to meet Song Xiaomei and Li Tingting who were waiting anxiously.
As soon as she appeared, Song Xiaomei immediately rushed over and hugged her: "We were scared to death! Chen Yan, if you don't come back, we're going crazy and want to call the police!"
Feeling her friend's concerned reaction, Shen Yan struggled hard for a moment, and then her arms were released.
Seeing this, Song Xiaomei quickly let go and looked at her with concern: "Are you really okay? Did something happen?"
Chen Yan smiled faintly and comforted them, "I'm fine. Just now, the Third Master came to the lotus pond to feed the fish. I happened to be resting there, so he asked me to help get some feed."
Song Xiaomei was completely confused and couldn't help but ask, "That's it? Nothing else happened?"
Shen Yan nodded, "Yeah. Then the Third Master seemed to have no interest in continuing to feed me, so we separated."
Song Xiaomei took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the anger that was pent up in her chest, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"I thought Third Master..." She spoke softly, her voice low and gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone.
However, she stopped talking halfway and did not finish the rest of the sentence.
Her eyes fell on Shen Yan, with a hint of worry and uneasiness in her eyes.
After all, their Chen Yan was so beautiful and charming, and her temperament was even more cold and unworldly, and anyone who saw her would be moved.
What's more, it was in such an environment - the night was falling, everything was silent, only the moonlight and the shadows of the trees intertwined to create a hazy and quiet picture. The two people were alone in it, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little ambiguous, which made it easy for people to have wild thoughts.
Thinking of this, Song Xiaomei couldn't help but secretly glance at the girl next to her.
Chen Yan noticed her friend's gaze, but as if she had expected it, she calmly interrupted, "How could anything go wrong? We are just ordinary employees. Isn't it normal to help the master run errands and do small tasks?"
Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if she didn't take what just happened to heart. In fact, deep down in her heart, she had already made up her mind.
As for what Chen Zeyu said to her that night and what he did...
She naturally kept these details firmly in her heart and had no intention of leaking them.
She knew very well that when doing things in this big family, one should remain silent when it is necessary to remain silent.
The matter passed quietly, like a drop of rain falling into a lake, without even causing a ripple.
After a while, Chen Yan quietly held Song Xiaomei's hand, her movements gentle but firm, and she said softly, "Listen carefully, don't tell anyone outside. This matter is actually a very small matter."
She paused after she finished speaking and looked into the other person's eyes seriously, as if hoping that she could truly understand the importance of it.
Song Xiaomei nodded and responded solemnly: "I understand, don't worry."
Although she is used to joking, she is never vague when it comes to serious matters.
Li Tingting, on the other side, saw that the two of them had calmed down. She knew that Chen Yan must have calmed down, so she felt relieved and interrupted with a smile, "Oh, now that everything has been talked out, it's all fine. Let's not stand here anymore, let's go back. Didn't the three of us come out together to relax, enjoy the evening breeze, and chat about gossip?"
Then she reminded him, "Remember, when you tell others about this, you must say this: Just pretend we were just sitting by the pool and chatting."
"If anyone asks about our whereabouts today, we must all give a consistent account and say that the three of us left together."
If the news was accidentally leaked, saying that Chen Yan went out with that Third Master in private, and if it got out and people knew about it...
Wouldn't it cause chaos and spread rumors?
You know, this Third Master is only in his early twenties, young and promising, with a bright future, yet he is still unmarried.
In the eyes of countless others, he is definitely a rare and good object.
Many women had long been eyeing a man of such a prominent status as him, and were eager to find an excuse to get close to him.
Many people were extremely active in their thinking, fantasizing about taking this opportunity to establish some kind of subtle and special connection with the young master of the Chen family, so as to climb to a higher level.
The Third Master is currently in his youth, full of vigor and ambition. If anything he says or does deviates from the norm, it will always lead to a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings and speculations.
Especially when it comes to matters involving men and women, even if it's just a small change, people will still enjoy pondering the most imaginative aspects.
If word really got out that she and that person had run off alone, Shen Yan would probably be completely torn apart by those rumors.
After all, in this school, in such an inner courtyard environment, even the slightest disturbance would cause an uproar, let alone such "solitude" of unknown nature.
Her reputation and word of mouth have always been serious and rigorous in everyone's impression. If such a thing were to be spread, even Song Xiaomei, who trusts her the most, would probably have doubts.
And from what she had just said, she could tell that Chen Yan obviously didn't want to get involved in these troubles and disputes.
