Chapter 592 She's Very Well-Behaved (Twenty-One)
Shang Shang followed Pei Yanli to his office. He had an office all to himself, with a south-facing window overlooking a tall maple tree whose leaves were turning slightly yellow.
Working by the window and occasionally looking at the scenery outside is a very pleasant experience.
Pei Yanli smiled and asked Shang Shang to make herself at home: "Tea or coffee?"
Shang Shang chose tea: "My maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents all like to drink tea. I spent a lot of time with them when I was little, so I also started to like drinking tea."
She was curious and wanted to try it, and as she grew up, she came to love the taste of tea.
Pei Yanli went to find some tea leaves: "A professor just happened to give me a box of pre-Qingming tea, let me brew some for you."
An'an nodded: "Okay."
While Pei Yanli was making tea, she looked around. His office was quite large, with two large bookshelves filled with books. She asked curiously, "Are all these your books?"
Pei Yanli chuckled: "No, they were there when I arrived. Only the things on the desk are mine."
There is a computer on the desk, along with several books and notebooks.
The notebook was open, covered with many physics formulas and codes that even Shangshang couldn't understand.
She exclaimed, "Are physics courses really that difficult?"
Pei Yanli brought over the tea: "This is a research topic for graduate students. It's at a normal level. Physics in our country is still a bit behind."
Shang Shang thought Pei Yanli was amazing: "These must be very brain-intensive. You are really amazing."
Pei Yanli chuckled: "It's just that we have different research directions, so you think it's amazing. In my eyes, you are more amazing in your research on medicine. So many gene sequences, ever-changing, yet you can remember them all. It's simply incredible."
Shang Shang smiled sheepishly: "Would you call this some kind of awkward commercial hype?"
Pei Yanli laughed along, "No, I was just telling the truth."
He wanted to bring Shangshang to his workplace so she could gradually learn about his life.
While Pei Yanli was working, Shang Shang sat on the sofa next to him and picked up a book to read. She was naturally lazy and quite quiet.
Reading isn't boring at all; once you get into it, you find it quite interesting.
Pei Yanli, however, was unusually unable to concentrate on writing his lesson plan. He would occasionally look up at Shang Shang, who was sitting there reading. She was very quiet and well-behaved, with a slight smile on her lips, as if no worries could bother her.
After Pei Yanli finished his work, Shang Shang went to the cafeteria with him for lunch. While eating, she received a call from Shen Fanxing, who told her to come to the company to find her immediately because she had something extremely urgent to do.
After hanging up the phone, Shang Shang looked at Pei Yanli with some regret: "I can't attend your class today. Fanxing is looking for me, and I need to go see her."
Pei Yanli smiled and comforted her, "It's alright, there will be other opportunities in the future. Do you want me to take you there?"
Shang Shang quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, I can take a taxi there myself, it's not far."
Pei Yanli checked the time; he wouldn't have enough time to drop Shang Shang off and come back. "I'll take you to get a taxi."
As Shang Shang got into the taxi, she was still thinking that something felt off about her and Pei Yanli's relationship.
It seemed very polite, yet... I can't quite put my finger on it.
Rushing to Shen Fanxing's office, Shang Shang found her with a face mask on, directing her assistant to arrange things. Seeing Shang Shang arrive, she exclaimed excitedly, "Look! What do you think of this money tree I brought?"
Shang Shang stared in shock at the money tree made of coral, which was taller than a person: "Where did you get this?"
Shen Fanxing chuckled: "A client came over a couple of days ago. I showed him a little bit of the product, and he insisted on giving me something as a gift. He told me to come to his house to choose one, and that's what I picked out."
Shang Shang was shocked again: "They just gave it to you for free? Don't business people value this?"
Shen Fanxing happily peeled off the face mask: "Although I value this, I saved his life. That day he came to the company to talk about business, and I noticed that his face looked strange, so I told him to stay in the company for a while, or he might suffer a bloody disaster."
"He was relatively obedient, staying at the company until late at night before going home, letting the driver go home first. However, the driver got into a car accident on the way, but the driver was not seriously injured."
"He was still terrified when he thought about it, because his car had collided with a heavy cement mixer. The driver swerved to save himself, and he was wearing a seatbelt. The back of the car was wrecked, and he never wore a seatbelt in the back seat. If he had been in the car, he would have been seriously injured or killed. So he came to me the next day to thank me properly."
Shen Fanxing went to look at the gift she had chosen herself. She still liked it very much. It was golden and shiny, and if placed here, it would definitely attract wealth from all directions.
Shang Shang was taken aback: "You called me to the company, you didn't foresee some kind of disaster for me, did you?"
Shen Fanxing looked at her in bewilderment: "What's wrong with you? You're even thinking about disasters for yourself? Don't worry, you have such a blessed face, no disaster will stay away from you, you'll live peacefully to ninety-nine."
Shang Shang was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. Thinking about what happened that morning, she snorted: "I asked you to save me this morning, why did you tell Pei Yanli?"
Shen Fanxing put her arm around her shoulder: "How about it, are you surprised?"
Shang Shang rolled her eyes: "Surprise my foot! I was scared to death. I made him think I love to fight."
Shen Fanxing shook her head: "No, no, no, he might become even more infatuated with our little merchant because of this."
Shang Shang couldn't help but laugh and tickled Chen Fanxing. The two laughed and joked for a while.
She went to the sofa to eat fruit again, and Shen Fanxing fed Shang Shang a grape: "I know you are with Pei Yanli, so I called you back. You can't spend too much time with him."
Shang Shang was taken aback: "Maintain an air of mystery?"
Shen Fanxing looked at her speechlessly, then reached out and tapped her head: "Keep your height a mystery. Look at what you two are doing now, does it look like a relationship? Look at me and your brother back then, quick and decisive, we got together in a day."
Merchant: "..."
Shen Fanxing hooked her chin: "I called you here because I wanted to teach you a few moves."
Shang Shang slapped her hand away: "No need, I think we're fine as we are. I really like this slow-paced relationship. Although it's missing something, I think it's just that the time isn't right yet."
Shen Fanxing said with disdain, "You two are such grown-up people, yet you still act so innocent."
Just as she was about to get up to wash her face, her assistant rushed in again: "Sister, we have a client. Someone wants you to do a feng shui consultation."
Shang Shang was shocked once again: "Fanxing, isn't this an entertainment company? How come you're also doing feng shui for people?"
Shen Fanxing waved her hand dismissively: "It doesn't matter, as long as I make money!"
